The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 100 Christmas Butterflies
Christmas morning finally arrived, cold weather, snow everywhere.The twins were woken up by Ada early in the morning. She dressed neatly and threw the two boxes to the twins.

Ada opened the thick winter curtains, and the sun shone into the room. The twins who had just woken up had to pull the quilt over their heads to block the sun.

"Merry Christmas." Ada said, "I just walked through Garen, so my hands are cold, do you two need my help?"

The twins sat up immediately, they didn't want to experience the feeling of cold little hands, it was too exciting and unbearable. "Merry Christmas!" Fred asked, shaking the gift box. "What's this?"

"You'll know if you take it apart and have a look." Ada walked out of the room, "Hurry up and go downstairs, the two of you hang around for a while, and Mrs. Weasley will come up."

This Christmas holiday was very satisfying for Ada, and the gift she received when she woke up in the morning was equally satisfying.Professor McGonagall did not send any more personal notes this year, but a set of robes. Whether it is style or feel, it looks like a high-end product.

The twins gave her a set of wand maintenance tools. The two brothers gave the gift to Ada before going to bed last night, but for the sake of ritual, Ada only opened it this morning.Just got the twins gloves, they are always outside and gloves are perfect for their outfits.

Charlie sent a set of reading materials about the legends of the British wizarding world, which was somewhat similar to "Story Club". What Ada gave back was a "figure" of a black dragon in the Heshidia Islands. Breathes fire, hope it doesn't set Charlie's sheets on fire.

Ada and Percy, who also love to read books, give each other books, and there is no sincerity at all.Ada gave Ron a set of wizard chess, gave Ginny a copy of "Hogwarts, a School History", and Ada, a friend in the school, also gave gifts one by one.

But there was an unexpected gift for Ida too, Cedric Diggory gave her a big box of Chocolate Frogs.And Ada didn't expect that the other party would give her a gift at all, so she didn't prepare anything, which somewhat made Ada lose face.

As the family gathered around the kitchen table, Mrs Weasley began handing out presents, a heart sweater to everyone.

When giving out sweaters to the twins, Mrs. Weasley couldn't tell which of the two of them was who. After struggling for a long time, they still couldn't tell the difference. In the end, the two exchanged themselves before putting on their own sweaters.

Mrs. Weasley is the mother of twins. She can actually tell the two apart, but Fred and George always say that she has misidentified them. Over time, Mrs. Weasley can't tell them apart accurately.

Last year, Ada was very envious of the twins' sweater. This year she finally received it. The red hand-knitted sweater has a big golden "E" on it, which is Ada's initials.

The children began to put on their sweaters. Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley looked at the scene happily. Christmas should be a day of family reunion, but it was a pity that Bill could not come back this year.

Mrs Weasley's elaborate Christmas dinner starts with smoked salmon, which needs just a little seasoning to make it delicious.Christmas roast turkey is also a must. The fat roast turkey is stuffed with onions and potatoes. There are mashed potatoes and radishes on the table as side dishes, as well as Brussels sprouts and smoked meat.

Mr. Weasley was drinking Firewhiskey, and Charlie, being of age, was allowed to have a few glasses with his father.The twins stared straight at Charlie, and even Percy looked envious.

With such an obvious expression, Mrs. Weasley naturally saw it. She smiled and brought out a large tray of butterbeer, which was distributed to each child, even Ron and Ginny who were not in school.

Mr. Weasley raised his glass and said, "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas!" the children said in unison, no matter whether it was a high-proof fire whiskey or an alcoholic butter beer, everyone drank it in one gulp.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was hot, everyone was talking loudly, shoulder to shoulder and humming songs with the people around them. The blushing Mrs. Weasley sang a jazzy "A Pot of Fiery Love" , by her favorite singer, Celestina Warbeck.

Mr. Weasley likes to chat with Ida about Muggles, but sometimes those questions sound naive, but Mr. Weasley's question today is not naive at all. He is asking about Ada and cars .

For example, how Muggles can make a car move without magic, how to fix it if something goes wrong, and so on.

The difficulty of today's question is not comparable to that of the little yellow duck. Ada is also a little scratching her head about how to explain it. Ada can't start with the spinning jenny, right?By the way, let Mr. Weasley popularize science about what is the industrial revolution and which is the steam engine!

Listening to Ada's careful explanation, Mr. Weasley's eyes became brighter and brighter. He drank the flame whiskey in the glass in one gulp, and made a decision of great significance and far-reaching impact.

In the evening, the Weasleys and Ada were sitting in the living room, which had been colorfully decorated. In the afternoon, the firecrackers under the Christmas tree were all used up, and the carpet was covered with the remains of garlands.

Charlie was playing cards with Percy and the twins, while Ron sat beside him with a large plate of mince pies.Charlie, who was tortured by blood last night, no longer dared to play cards with Ida, and he finally understood why the twins stopped him.

Ada, who was leaning on the sofa, strongly condemned the occurrence of this kind of thing. She is not good at wizard chess, so it’s fine if you don’t take it. Why don’t you take it because she’s so good at poker. Ada thinks it’s targeting her. !
Mrs. Weasley arrived with a tray of eggnog, the milk and brandy drink everyone in the family could try.

"Ada, can I change flowers again when I go to bed at night?" Ginny and Ada beside him whispered.

"Don't mess around, Ginny. Ida can't cast spells outside the school." Mrs. Weasley, who was sharing the eggnog, just heard Ginny's request to Ida.

Charlie, who was playing cards, raised his head and said, "Ginny, after this round, I'll show you the game!"

Ada didn't blame Ginny for her recklessness. Ginny was a straightforward person, she said whatever came to her mind, and Ada couldn't hold back because she couldn't cast spells all the time.Ada put her hands together, and she said, "It's okay, I won't be discovered by the school."

"It's not a problem of discovery, it's a problem of safety." Mr. Weasley rarely talked to Ada seriously, and he didn't even peel the satsuma in his hand.

"But, I'm finished..." Ada said, and then separated her closed hands, and a budding flower appeared in her hands.

Ginny, who felt that a step was missing, blew on the flower, and the flower in Ada's hand bloomed instantly.

Charlie and Percy looked at Ida in shock, Ron put down even the mince pie, the twins were not surprised by this, and the two tried to get out when Charlie and Percy were not looking.

Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley looked at each other. They also felt that Ada's magical talent was unbelievable. She could cast spells without a wand at the age of 13. How many people could do this?
The blooming of the flowers was not over yet, just as everyone was stunned, the flowers turned into two fluttering butterflies, which were hovering around Ginny.
