The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 116 Mrs. Mary
The first time Madam Mary woke up, she was actually concerned about Ida's well-being, just like she had cared countless times before, as if nothing had changed.

It was this simple sentence, but it pierced Ada's heart like a sharp knife, making her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"I have a good life, and I made two very good friends in school. You are always worried that I can't get along well with others. Now you can rest assured." Ada said.Ada stood up and poured a glass of water, gently lifted Mrs. Mary's head, and fed her little by little.

"No one bullied me at school, and the professors treated me very well. This time, it was Professor McGonagall who sent me back. You have seen her, and she came to visit her home." Ada continued, " Mr Weasley treated me well, too, he and his wife treated me like a daughter... Ma'am, I'm doing well, really well."

Mrs. Mary wanted to raise her hand to touch Ada's cheek, but it was very difficult for her to do this simple movement. Ada leaned down and held Mrs. Mary's hand, helping her to put her hand on her face .

"Okay...that's good. I watched you grow up. When you first came here, you were like a kitten. I was always afraid that I would not be able to support you. Now you have grown into a big girl." Mrs. Mary stroked Ada's cheek lightly. Although her complexion improved a bit, she still struggled to speak, and had to rest for a while after speaking a few words.

"You raised me well, that's why I'm so smart and beautiful." Ada said with a smile.Both Ada and Ada are very grateful to Mrs. Mary for her care. Without Mrs. Mary, she might have died in the winter night of 1977.

When I was in London, although the conditions in the orphanage were not good, none of the children went hungry. Mrs. Mary always tried her best to take care of each child, so that each child could be fed and clothed warmly.

"You know, my grades are all very good, and I got No.1 in the school year in the final exam last year!" Ada said, "By the way, I also have a dog. Bring it for you to see..."

Ada was chattering, telling Mrs. Mary about her life at school, and when she talked about some interesting things, Mrs. Mary would also laugh along with her.

Of course, what Ada said was a cut-down version, and all the contents related to magic were omitted or changed by Ada, and Ada didn't mention those unhappy and dangerous things at all.

Mrs. Mary kept holding Ada's hand without interrupting her.Mrs. Mary likes to hear these things in life, so I let Ada talk non-stop. The previous Ada didn't talk so much. This is a good change.

Among the current children, Ada seems to be the most obedient and sensible one, but in fact she is the most worrying one. Now that she has really grown up a lot, how can Madam Mary be unhappy?

From these trivial matters, Mrs. Mary could tell that Ada really liked life in school. She found the meaning of her existence and her future direction in school. This is what made Mrs. Mary happiest.

Ada said this, not because she really became talkative, but just to tell Mrs. Mary that she was doing well and reduce her worries, so she talked endlessly about the good news and not the bad news.

One person spoke seriously, the other listened carefully, and the sky darkened in a blink of an eye.

A knock on the door interrupted Ida's words. Ms. Valente opened the door and walked in. Miss Catherine Nelson followed behind her holding a dinner plate. The dishes were all easy to chew. Also easy to digest food.

Ms. Valent walked to the bedside and said with a smile, "I hear you talking about little Ida every day, and since she came back, your complexion has improved a lot!"

"I heard Ada talk about some things about the school. It's very interesting." Mrs. Mary said slowly, "She was brought up by me. When Nancy and I brought her back, she was only two months old. My son has grown up so much, Nancy died, and I... I am old too."

"This child is good in everything, but this bad temper needs to be changed. He is smelly and stubborn." Mrs. Mary continued. In her memory, Ada had a good temper when she was a child. It was after she was abandoned for the second time. That's when his temper got bad.Madam Mary has always been a little guilty about this in her heart. She felt that if she hadn't recommended Ada at the beginning, then Ada wouldn't have to go through this hurt.

"Is there? Why didn't I see the bad temper, but I think Ida is very appetizing to me." Ms. Valente looked at Ida standing aside and said, "By the way, Ada, you sit in the room You must be hungry after so long, right?"

I didn't feel it when I didn't mention it. When Ms. Valente mentioned it, Ada also felt a little hungry. Her last meal was the breakfast she had when she was far away in Scotland.

"Catherine, you take Ada to her room to get acquainted, and then you take Ada downstairs for dinner, I'll just come here." Ms. Valente continued.

"Go, go to the room with Catherine," Madam Mary said, "You must be very tired after walking so far, go and have a good rest!"

Ada picked up her schoolbag and followed Catherine out of the room to the third floor. The room Ms. Valente arranged for her was at the stairs on the third floor. It might be noisy, but Ada lived alone.

The bedding has just been replaced, and it still smells of washing powder. A single bed, a desk, a chair, and a wardrobe are all the furniture in the room.

Leaving the schoolbag in the room, Ada and Catherine went to the restaurant on the first floor. The person in charge of ordering meals was a fat middle-aged black man. He and the custodian of the underground storage room were also members of the orphanage. security guard.

The children in the yard also ate in the dining room, and the discussion in the yard in the afternoon had already spread, so no matter whether these children knew Ada or not, they were all staring at Ada, and the children who knew Ada had eyes of Some fear, children who don't know her are curious.

Ignoring these gazes, Ada walked straight to the corner with her dinner plate, and ate silently by herself.Naturally, the food in the orphanage can't be compared with Hogwarts, but it is enough if it is only used to fill the stomach.

Ada ate very quickly, and the plate drained in a short while, and she had no intention of ordering another serving, so after washing the plate, she left the dining room and returned to Madam Mary's room.

Mrs. Mary has been trying to listen to Ada's words, so she only ate a little food and fell asleep again when she was exhausted.Ada originally planned to stay and take care of Mrs. Mary, but under the persuasion of Ms. Valente, she returned to the arranged room to rest and shelved her original plan.

As soon as I returned to the room, Ada saw an owl sitting on the desk. It not only brought two letters to Ada, but also brought rations.Two letters from Professor McGonagall and the twins.

After Ada left the classroom, the twins had been worrying about what trouble she had caused, and they couldn't find Ada after class.The brothers didn't know what had happened until Professor McGonagall returned to school, so Fred and George wrote this letter to comfort her and promise that even if Ida was not at school, they would follow her instructions. Make a plan to review, so she doesn't have to worry.

Another letter from Professor McGonagall was very simple. It just told Ada not to worry about the school, and asked Ada to take care of herself and write to her at any time if she had any questions.

Ada left the school in a hurry, bringing nothing but clothes and toiletries. Fortunately, she found a pen and paper from the desk, so that she could write back to Professor McGonagall and the twins respectively.
