The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 300 Confusing Blake
Although Ada's influence is not enough to appease everyone, it can calm everyone down for a while, preventing things from getting bigger and making everyone more uneasy.

The Gryffindor students were all watching each other, in case someone got lost or was attacked.The older students are also reassuring those around them. They have experienced more and are more able to keep themselves calm.

Fortunately, Dumbledore came quickly, and behind him were Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Lupine.

Before Dumbledore could speak, the students made a way for the professors to pass.Dumbledore glanced quickly at the ruined portrait, and turned around, his eyes serious.

"We need to find her," said Dumbledore. "Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr. Filch immediately and tell him to search every painting in the castle for the Fat Lady."

"Good luck!" said a voice, giggling.

It was Peeves, who loved to play mischief, and he jumped up and down over the heads of the people, and he was as happy as ever at the sight of this misfortune and trouble.

"What did you say, Peeves?" Dumbledore asked calmly, and the smile on Peeves' face restrained a little, he didn't dare to laugh at Dumbledore.

Ada is not as broad-minded as the headmaster, she said threateningly: "If you know where she is, you'd better tell me quickly!"

"Damn Drizzt! Ugly Drizzt!" Pippi was not afraid of Ida.Peeves is not a ghost, to be precise, he was born with the school.

The previous school administrators tried to drive Peeves, a prankster, out of the school, but they never succeeded.

In 1876, the school made a last attempt, when the administrator devised an ingenious trap, but instead of driving Peeves away, he angered Peeves.

In a rage, Peeves rampages at Hogwarts with scimitars, crossbows, a musket and a small cannon, which he shoots at will for fun.As a result, the castle had to be evacuated for three days until Peeves calmed down.

Finally, the headmaster at the time signed an agreement with Peeves, and he handed over his weapon and stopped shooting students.Peeves did much more exciting things than Ida, so how could he be afraid of Ada?

Besides the Bloody Baron, only Dumbledore could make Peeves feel intimidated.

Peeves changed into a flattering tone, and said courteously to Dumbledore: "She's shy, Mr. Headmaster. She doesn't want to be seen. She's a miserable mess. I saw her running across the scene on the fifth floor Draw, sir, and hide in the bushes. Weeping unbearably sad."

"Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore asked softly.

"Oh, yes, Head Professor," said Peeves, though he looked somewhat gloating.

Peeves turned somersault suddenly, grinning at Dumbledore from between his legs, he continued: "He wanted to go in, but she wouldn't let him, he was very angry, and then it became what you saw Like this."

These words were a bit convoluted, Peeves deliberately said it like this, but everyone still understood the meaning inside.

"Sirius Black!"

I don't know which student said it first, and then the name was repeated by other students. Now everyone thinks that the fugitive Sirius Black tried to break into the lounge.

"Yes, yes, that's him!" said Peeves, feigning fear. "His eyes and soul are as dark as his name—Blake!"

Peeves confirmed everyone's guess, and Black's name made the Halloween castle instantly cold.How could the students not be afraid of such a murderer appearing in the school.

Professor Dumbledore led all the Gryffindor students back to the auditorium.Black was still roaming around the school, and the Gryffindor common room was no longer safe.

Ten minutes later, the Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Slytherins were back in the Great Hall, each with confused faces.

"The teachers and I need to conduct a full search of the castle." Dumbledore announced loudly, "For your own safety, I'm afraid you can only spend the night here. I hope that the prefect will guard the entrance of the auditorium, and I entrust the chairman of the Boys and Girls Student Union to manage it. If anything happens, report to me immediately."

At this time, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick closed all the doors of the auditorium, and Dumbledore also left the auditorium after conjuring hundreds of sleeping bags.

Immediately, there was a chattering sound in the auditorium, and the Gryffindor students told the students from other houses about what happened just now.

Ada didn't stay in the auditorium like the other prefects, she also walked out.Seeing Ada come out, Dumbledore thought for half a minute, and he said, "Be careful, Black is not an ordinary wizard."

The principal's reminder seemed redundant. A wizard who used a spell to blow up the entire street faced him. No matter how confident she was, Ada would deal with it carefully. Self-confidence was not conceited.

The professors scattered to search every corner of the castle.Professor McGonagall wanted Ada to follow her, but Ada had already disappeared. It was better not to let Professor McGonagall know where she was going to search, because she was afraid that her blood pressure would soar.

Although Ada always said that Hogwarts is the safest place, only a fool would believe it, but Hogwarts has a lot of protective magic.Hogwarts not only has the walls and the Black Lake, but also the anti-apparition spell, and all kinds of circles to protect the school.

Now, there are still a large group of dementors floating outside the school. In this case, unless Black has some unknown means, it is impossible for him to appear in the school out of thin air.

And what Ada is going to search now is a loophole that might be exploited by Black - the secret passage of Hogwarts.

The Marauders knew of these secret passages and had drawn them on the Marauder's Map; Ada and the twins knew of them and frequented them; even Filch knew of a few of them.

It's not out of the question that Sirius Black knew some secret passages, and it's even possible that he knew some secret passages that Ada didn't even know.

Ada searched all the secret passages in the castle that she knew, but found nothing.She also met Snape and Filch who were also searching for the secret passage, but they also found nothing like Ada.

However, Ada found something interesting, which was that Snape was unusual.

Since Harry entered school in 1991, Snape's expression has become "colorful", but this expression is only for Harry, and no one else can see it at all.Even if it was seen by other people, they couldn't see what Snape's expression meant.

That is to say, Ada always came into contact with Snape to discover his difference.

At this year's opening banquet, Ada discovered that there was another person who made Snape's expression come alive, and that was right, Remus Lupin.Different from the contempt for Quirrell that was so obvious that a blind man could see it before, Snape's expression this time was very cryptic, disgusted, hated, and there seemed to be a trace of sympathy?
At one point, Ada thought it was her old eyesight that made a mistake.

In Gryffindor Tower this evening, Ada found Snape trying to suppress his anger.Ada had never seen Snape in this state before, and even the women's clothing boss couldn't make him angry like this.

The Potions Master couldn't be so angry because of the Fat Lady, could he?It seems that there is another story between Snape and Black!

At about three o'clock in the morning, the professors' search came to an end, but no trace of Black was found in the school.Sirius Black seemed to be a ghost, suddenly appeared in the school, and suddenly disappeared.

Ada returned to the auditorium and patrolled the hall with the other prefects.However, Ada's mind was not on the patrol, and she didn't care if someone was talking about Black secretly without sleeping.

The mysterious behavior of the fugitive from Azkaban caused too much confusion in Ada's heart.

Why did Blake choose to do it today?Is it because he knows that today is Halloween and there are no students in the lounge; or is it because he has lost the concept of time and does not know that today is Halloween.

Ada tried to think differently, tried to think about the problem from the perspective of Sirius Black, and resolved the doubts in her heart.
