Chapter 328 Crookshanks
The answer was a bit ambiguous, and it could even be said to be irrelevant to Hermione's question, but Ada felt that Hermione could understand her hidden meaning.
If it weren't for the purpose of not damaging Hermione's newly built self-confidence, Ada would not hesitate to directly deny Hermione's guess and list a bunch of proofs to defeat Miss Beaver.
But Ada can't do this. Now Hermione needs other people's affirmation and encouragement.
Then why not tell Hermione directly? Because Ada promised Dumbledore that she would keep this secret for Professor Lupin and keep this secret in her heart.
Although Ada revealed something to her grandmother Vida during the Christmas vacation, she did not reveal anyone's name or identity. Vader wouldn't talk about this kind of thing.
That's why Ada hesitated when answering. She needed to consider the possible impact of telling the secret. After some weighing, Ada gave such an ambiguous answer, confirming Hermione's guess from the side.
As Ada said, Hermione is a smart person. Smart people can distinguish between priorities and know what to say and what not to say.
Hermione understood Ada's answer, and she also heard what Ada didn't say.
Hermione's face immediately turned cloudy. She imitated Ada's previous action and put her index finger next to her lips, making a silent gesture to show that she would also keep it a secret.
After answering Sir Cadogan's various commands, Ada and Hermione returned to the Gryffindor common room. The little lions always seemed to be full of energy. Curfew had long passed and the common room was still noisy and lively.
Harry and Ron were also there, muttering in the corner of the lounge, not knowing what they were talking about. Hermione encouraged herself, and then trotted towards Harry and Ron, wanting to take the initiative to ease the relationship between the three of them.
However, before Hermione could explain or propose reconciliation, the two older boys, Harry and Ron, ran back to the boys' dormitory, leaving Hermione alone.
Not to mention Hermione being stunned, Ada who was watching from the side was also stunned. What's going on with these two little brothers? Are rats and firebolts so important? Are they more important than a living person like a flower?
Little brother, this idea of yours is very dangerous!
Maybe I am too people-oriented, or maybe my imagination is too lacking, and I don't see the importance of the Firebolt and the Rat! Ada thought silently in her heart.
January turned into February unknowingly, but the bitingly cold weather did not change at all, and spring still did not come to this cold land.
After Slytherin narrowly defeated Ravenclaw, Wood, who once again saw the opportunity to defend his title, increased Quidditch training to five times a week. Gryffindor's red uniforms can always be seen on the training ground. When Wood heard " "Beautiful" roar.
This has made Ada become a pitiful loner in recent times. Her roommate was participating in Quidditch training, and her best friend was also participating in the training. Unless she followed him to the training ground, Ada would be a pitiful person wherever she went.
Apart from patrolling the corridors, the only time Ada was not alone was when she was performing her duties as a prefect. Clark Gerald, another prefect, would accompany her.
Early that morning, when Ada woke up, the dormitory was already empty, and everyone went to training again. After staying in bed for a while, Ada remembered that she also had a dog, so she led Garen and left the castle.
There were many students chasing and playing on the playground, and some students went to the training ground to visit the team for training. Ada, who was alone, felt somewhat isolated from the world.
It wasn't until she reached the edge of the playground away from the crowd that Ada decided to let go of the leash and let Garen run for a while to spread her energy. But before Ada could untie the leash, Gallon broke free from her control and rushed out like a stray dog.
The off-white Labrador and the big ginger cat with bandy legs were running wildly on the playground. One moment it was Garleon chasing Crookshanks, and the next it was Crookshanks chasing Garleon. . A cat and a dog chased each other, and soon the two of them ran near the Whomping Willow.
Ada, who followed a cat and a dog, also walked near the Whomping Willow, and then Ada saw a scene that shocked her and was incomprehensible.
Like a bolt of lightning, the ginger Crookshanks deftly passed through the waving branches of the Whomping Willow, pressed its paws to the boils on the trunk of the Whomping Willow, and then burrowed into the tunnel leading to Twilight Cottage. In the secret passage.
At this moment, Ada was possessed by Yang Shaoxia's soul. Crookshanks' extremely skilled operation directly showed Ada a black question mark face.
Can anyone tell me what just happened? I seemed to see ginger ball lightning flying. Also, can anyone tell me why Crookshanks is so skilled?
Ada's head was filled with questions now, and she felt like she had missed something. So she also followed into the secret passage, wanting to see what happened that she didn't know about.
After passing through the secret passage, there was a warning sign "There is a vicious dog inside, please do not approach" at the entrance of the hut. As soon as Ada walked into the house, she saw that the vicious dog was making an offering to her boss and giving her own dog food. Claws give way.
Crookshanks ignored Galleon's dog food. He jumped directly onto the sofa and lay down on the soft and comfortable pillows. The familiar place seemed to be his home, completely ignoring the real owner of the cabin.
I don’t know if it’s because there is a large group of Dementors outside the school, but this winter is extremely cold, and Ada is a little afraid of the cold, so she hasn’t been to the hut recently because she doesn’t want to walk across the playground in the wind and snow. Arriving at a cold cabin with no heat.
Although Ada has not been here for many days, the cabin is still very tidy, and there is no dust on the floor and furniture. There is also a pile of dry firewood for daily use next to the fireplace. These are all the work of the house elf Winnie. .
After controlling the firewood to fly into the fireplace and lighting it, Ada sat across from Crookshanks, wanting to take a closer look at Hermione's pet.
Crookshanks didn't look very smart or lovable, but Galleon couldn't even handle the skillful operation he had just faced with the Whomping Willow. You must know that Garen has been with Ada for several years, and Crookshanks has only been at Hogwarts for half a year.
After half a year of chasing Scabbers, he even managed to subdue Garleon and let Garleon lead him to the Twilight Cabin. He was so familiar with the scars of the Whomping Willow. Crookshanks acted a little bit evil, right? ?
Even though this is Scotland, you can't become a spirit!
Crookshanks seemed to know that Ada was observing him. He first called "meow" twice to express his dissatisfaction, and then stared at Ada with his own eyes, protesting with practical actions.
Ada did not observe the big cat anymore. Hermione bought it from the pet store. It was impossible for it to become a sperm, but it was indeed very smart. Ada left the sofa and walked around the room while doing chest exercises to warm her body.
This stroll didn't matter, Crookshanks stood up on the sofa with his bow legs, making a "gurgling" sound to attract Ada's attention.
This abnormal behavior made Ada a little strange. Crookshanks had just ignored her, so why was he rushing to find her now?
What does Crookshanks want to do?
