The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 103

The Screaming Shack has been deserted for an unknown amount of time, and a slight movement in the house will stir up a large cloud of dust, making people very uncomfortable.The doors and windows sealed by wooden boards have not been opened for many years, and there is still a strange smell in the house.

Over the years, haunted rumors have been rumored with a nose and an eye, and the dilapidated screaming shack is really suitable for haunting. "Remote" mountain villages and long-abandoned old houses all tell others: Do you want to see a ghost?Come to Screaming Shack!

Ada, who has always been very curious, was bewitched by this kind of temptation, so she went to look for all the information about the screaming shack, wasting her limited life.

Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The original intention was to explore the secret passage that had not been visited before. Who knew that the screaming shack was behind the secret passage!This should have been a good thing in the first place, and there was nowhere to find it, so it took no effort to get it.

This can be regarded as "Double Happiness", but the Screaming Shack is really just famous, and there are no ghosts at all, which made Ida happy, and naturally felt a sense of loss in her heart.

"What should we do now?" George waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him, "Do you want to go back?"

"There's nothing to see here, everything is broken." Fred walked up and down the room, patches of dust were splashed by his footsteps, and Ada and George could only keep waving.

"If you keep walking back and forth, I'll break your legs!" George said angrily, "Ada, if we go back first, I feel like my lungs are going to explode."

Ada's thoughts turned quickly, and countless inspirations and ideas burst into her mind. Ada had never studied the laws of the British wizarding world, so she was not sure if this approach was feasible.

"Ada, what are you thinking?" Fred waved his hands in front of her eyes, "Let's go, let's go back."

"If you really miss the haunted house so much, we'll just find another haunted house during the summer vacation." George said, stretching out his right hand to pull her up.

"Say, how about I tidy up here?" Ada stood up and walked around the room like Fred just now. The dust that had just landed was flying in the room again.

Fred walked around the room with his hands outstretched, and said, "The place here is not small, and it would be very laborious to tidy up. Besides, don't you have a room in the basement, what do you want to do here?"

"I don't know what Ada's going to do, but the screaming shack is starting to be haunted again," George said with a laugh.

"You know, I'm from..."

Fred interrupted Ada by raising his hand, and said, "Stop! I know your background, so just say what you want to do!"

"My idea is very simple, I want to own a house of my own." Ada said with her hands behind her back.The obsession with buying a house came from Ada's bones and cannot be changed.

It is very difficult for Ada, who has nothing to own, to buy a house. She does not have an underground vault in Gringotts as a backer, and she can only plan everything by herself.

Although the shed is dilapidated, if it is properly repaired, it can be used for living, which can save a lot of money, and the villagers will not disturb the people who live here because they are afraid of the rumors of the haunted house. Be quiet.

Now, the question before Ada is how she can get ownership of the Shrieking Shack.The house has been vacant for many years, and no one has ever mentioned the owner of the house. Even if you want to buy a house, you don't know who to go to, not to mention that Ada can't afford so many Galleons now.

Although Ada has no money, this house has never been taken care of by anyone. She can live in it secretly, and the matter of money will be discussed later.What's more, this is a "haunted house", and this kind of house is usually not sold for a high price.

"You can live in the Burrow, and Mommy said it, the Burrow is your home!" Fred said loudly, feeling a fire in his chest, and he was very angry now.

"I can't live in the Burrow all my life. It will be a matter of time before I move out, just like Bill and Charlie after a while." Ada explained, she is very grateful to Wes who treats her as a family Lai's family, but she really can't live there for the rest of her life. After the child grows up, she must be independent.

George's tone was also bad. Ada's words made him feel very raw. George said, "It's different. Bill is already an adult. How old are you!"

Ada silently pointed out four fingers. The light-white fingers made the two brothers feel very dazzling. They were one year younger than Ada.No, twins who are only half a year old and with a one-year gap will not admit it.

The twins knew that what Ada said was right, but they just couldn't let it go. Fred muttered: "We won't help you. We are willing to clean up. You can clean up by yourself. You will be exhausted!"

After speaking, the sulking twins left the shed without saying a word, and went back to the tunnel.Ada walked around the room by herself and left. She already had a decoration plan of a thousand galleons in her mind, but she didn't have that much money, so the decoration plan had to be put on hold temporarily.

On the way back to the castle, the twins walked very fast ahead, and they had no intention of waiting for Ida at all.Ada followed behind instead of chasing the twins. Ada felt that they just couldn't hold back for a while, and it would be fine in a few days.

Ada thought in her heart that it was really difficult for her to tidy up such a room by herself.The house was filthy, and it was a big project to clean it up, but Ada had figured out who to ask for help, and she wouldn't let the matter out.

After returning to the castle, Ida went directly to the kitchen. She didn't go to find food, she went to the kitchen to find a helper. The house elf Winnie was the helper Ida thought of.

House elves were conquered by wizards in ancient times. After each elf was born, it was educated to obey its master's orders unconditionally.They were slaves of an ancient and wealthy wizarding family, and being evicted by their masters was the worst thing they could do.

There are many house elves in Hogwarts. It is because of their existence that the school keeps the castle clean and has delicious food.

Ada will not regard herself as Winnie's master just because of Winnie's "Miss", so this matter is not an order, but a request. Ada asks Winnie to help her tidy up the screaming shack.

The house elf, Winnie, has a happy expression when she knows she can help Ida, with joy in her tennis-big eyes. The only downside is going to the Screaming Shack.

Even though it was a little scary, Winnie would definitely go. The servility of the house elves was deeply engraved in her bones.Ada also knew this, and she repeatedly assured that the rumors there were just rumors, and that she would go with Winnie and not let Winnie be there by herself.

When eating in the auditorium at night, the twins still felt sullen. Not only did they not talk to Ada, they didn't even look at her, and they sat far away from each other.

This situation made everyone confused. Ada and the twins had always been together before, and everyone could always see three people together.But what's the matter now, after a Christmas holiday, how did these three people "part ways"?

Angelina and Alia's eyes were filled with question marks. They, who were sitting next to Ada, also wanted to know what happened between the three of them, and why did they become like this?
