Hogwarts Emerald

Rita Skeeter is a nasty person, but she is a courageous person, but she uses her courage in the wrong place.

Compared with official history, people prefer to see unofficial history and romance, as long as it is colorful and interesting enough. Rita Skeeter grasped this point, which made her famous, and this is where she was smart.

There was Quirinus Quirrell in the front, Gilderoy Lockhart in the middle, and Rita Skeeter in the back. The reputation of Ravenclaw was once again killed.

Ada put down her copy of Armando Dippet: Master or Idiot? ”, a book written by Rita Skeeter that earned her a lot of fame and money.

Ada took some of her spare time to read a lot of Rita's works. Ada found that there was still a hint of truth in Rita's work, a little bit of truth mixed in with the lies throughout the story.

This is the most insidious approach and also the smart approach.

Rita Skeeter isn't the first journalist or author to do this, and she won't be the last. Such things that confuse right and wrong, confuse right and wrong, and violate conscience and morality happen every day in this world.

A smart person, for his own selfish desires, slanders and spreads rumors to slander others, especially when this smart person is a reporter. This is the most unforgivable thing about Rita Skeeter.

Words are like swords. Words are the sharpest blade in the world. They can kill people invisible and make people unable to guard against them. Every wordsmith should keep this in mind. They are the ones who best understand the importance of words.

They no longer paid attention to Rita Skeeter, nor did they pay attention to the aftermath of the trial. Daniel and Sergey knew what to do, and people like Rita were not worth Ada's extra energy.

Compared with unscrupulous reporters, it is obvious that things at school are more attractive to Ada. While waiting for the second project to arrive, Ada and the twins discovered something interesting.

I thought Mad-Eye Moody was hired by Dumbledore to guard against Karkaroff, but he didn't expect that not only did Moody keep an eye on Karkaroff, but Potions Professor Snape was also the subject of his surveillance.

Dumbledore trusted Snape, and he also trusted Moody, otherwise he would not have left the matter of keeping an eye on Karkaroff to Moody. But the two people Dumbledore trusted were at odds with each other.

No, that's not accurate. It should be that Moody always used the greatest malice to speculate on Snape's behavior.

Snape spoke harshly to Harry, which was regarded by Moody as his persecution of Harry; Snape said that Harry had stolen the honor of the warriors, which was regarded by Moody as his hostility to Harry.

In short, in Moody's eyes, Snape was not a good person. Snape was still a follower of Voldemort and a Death Eater.

Snape now is just a wolf in lamb's clothing. When the time comes, he will tear off the sheep's clothing and choose others to devour.

Snape, who had always been eloquent and sarcastic, was like a beast that had lost its claws and was at the mercy of others when facing Moody.

Moreover, Snape had no way to deal with Moody. When facing Moody, he even had a hint of fear.

Ada and the twins saw Snape being silenced by Moody more than once. Snape, who never had many emotional changes, would always be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

Is it really just because Snape was a Death Eater that Moody was so distrustful and even hostile to Snape?

Ada always felt that things were not that simple.

Although he has a bad reputation now, Alastor Moody was once the most famous Auror, a person who made dark wizards fearful. But Moody's appearance now is completely different from the legendary one. He seems to be really "crazy".

Suspicious, distrustful of everything around him; sometimes too cautious, sometimes not particularly cautious; extreme, seeming to believe that a person will never change in his life, that one day he is a bad person, and he will be a bad person every day for the rest of his life. All kinds of "crazy" performances are worthy of his nickname of Mad Eye.

Ada couldn't understand why Dumbledore would trust such a person.

In any case, Ada herself would not trust such a person, nor would she entrust important matters to such a person. The madness of their character, their empiricism, will ruin everything.

Moody is like this now. Reason and calmness seem to be a luxury for him.

As for Snape, Ada has never been able to understand him, and her feelings for him are also very complicated. For a person who has provided a lot of help to her, although he is indeed very annoying and makes people want to punch him, Ada just can't hate him.

Ever since the Sirius incident, Snape had been deliberately alienating Ada.

At first, Ada just thought that the Potions Professor was still angry, but this anger should have a limit, shouldn't it be endless, right? If it wasn't because of anger, then why was Snape angry?

I can’t figure it out, but this problem has been bothering Ada for several months. Maybe she could see a clue when Snape wanted to confine Ada at the beginning of the term.

But that confinement didn't happen, which also led to Ada being confused now, seeing everything in the fog.

This year's Hogwarts seems to be calm on the surface, except for the extra warriors, nothing happened, which shows that this time the "opponent" is cunning and cunning, and is more difficult to deal with than any previous opponents.

The more you talk and do, the easier it is to reveal your flaws. Doing nothing is the easiest thing to hide. A master, a master who doesn't know his purpose.

It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

===Dividing line===

Time is slipping away again, as if someone has cast magic on the clocks, making them turn fast. In the blink of an eye, the second project is in front of you.

The Black Lake has always been like a part of Hogwarts, lying there quietly. A large iron-gray cold lake surface and a dark and cold bottom seemed to be waving to the four warriors.

It was still very cold at Hogwarts at the end of February, and the water temperature of the Black Lake could only be accepted by the tough guys in Durmstrang.

The tough guys headed by Krum always take a dip in the black lake. No matter how cold the weather is, they only have a pair of swimming trunks on them.

This school year, Ada has almost never been to the Black Lake. She's not one of those nymphomaniacs who likes to drool over muscle sticks.

Muscular man, what’s the point of that thing!

If Fleur Delacour was doing tricks in a bathing suit, or taking her classmates to a water ballet, Ada might be interested in watching it.

Viktor Krum, you let him cool down and stay there!

The night before the competition, Ada carefully checked her belongings. Clothes, jewelry, books, and money were all missing.

It seems that the most beloved treasure that was "taken away" was not these objects. If it's not an object, it can only be a person. Compared with those external things, people are obviously the most important, and feelings are the most precious.

However, Ada had just separated from the twins, and the other three people in the dormitory were also there. Who else could it be besides them?

We can’t really throw Professor McGonagall into the water! Please, just be human!

If Professor McGonagall was really thrown into a cold black lake, the cold and fever would be mild after being fished out, and Dumbledore would probably have to take part in the Transfiguration course himself.

The next day, February 24th, the second project is about to begin. After breakfast, the students left the castle and came to the cold grounds, walking along the lawn towards the Black Lake.

Ada was among the crowd, with Fred and George by her side. Apparently the mermaid ladies didn't "abduct" the two of them last night, probably because mermaids don't like big dung eggs either.

Those seats that surrounded the Fire Dragon enclosure last November are now lined up across the lake and are reflected in the lake below.

At nine o'clock, the sun gradually rose, and Ada finally felt a little warmer. But before she could bask in the sun, she, Fleur, and Krum were taken to a tent at the edge of the field to change clothes.

After all, if you are going to go into the water later, you can’t go into the water wearing a heavy winter coat.

At nine twenty, Ada, Fleur, and Krum stood in front of the referee's table.

Although the cold protection spell would not make Ada feel cold in her swimsuit, she still wrapped herself in her cloak and cursed the planner of the second project bloody.

How cute do you have to be to come up with such a cute project?

At nine twenty-five, Harry still did not appear in front of the referee's table. It seemed that he had forgotten to save his Wei Zai (Dobby).

Ada's eyes wandered among the crowd, and she saw her friends sitting in the stands, and also saw Professor McGonagall.

Looking back, Ada was confused. Who would she want to save when she got into the water later? It couldn't be Snape!

Thinking of this, Ada looked up again.
