The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 141 Hogwarts Letters and the Headmaster

August [-]st, Ada didn't have to go to the Leaky Cauldron today because she was off today, and she picked one day a week to relax.When I came back last night, Ida gave Ginny Harry Potter's autograph as her tenth birthday present.

Receiving the autograph of the idol (dream lover) is something to be happy about. Excitedly, Ginny pulled Ada and chatted in the middle of the night, never leaving Harry Potter.

Ada, who didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, stayed in bed without incident. When she and Ginny were sitting in the kitchen having breakfast, everyone was already there.The twins sat there very honestly. Mrs. Weasley found out that they were hiding in the room to start their business. They have been criticized recently and they will be very restrained.

No sooner had Ida sat down than the messenger owl arrived, along with a copy of the Daily Prophet.Percy, who was closest to the window, went to get the letter with a chicken coop on his head, and stuffed 5 Knuts into the small leather pouch on the leg of the owl who delivered the newspaper.

Percy handed the newspaper to Mr. Weasley, and distributed the letter from Hogwarts to everyone. Although he did not receive a letter from Charlie this year, Ron received his admission notice.

Open the letter, and as expected, the textbooks needed are still those. This year Ida has three more elective courses, so she also needs to buy "Piercing the Fog to See the Future" for the divination class, and "Fantastic Beasts" for the Protection of Fantastic Beasts class. Where is it", and "Magic Phonetic Word List".In addition, Ada also wanted to buy "Magic Dictionary" and "Magic Symbol Collection".

Fred patted Ida on the shoulder and told her to look at Percy.Ada raised her head and looked at Percy, who was opposite, and saw Percy smiling like an idiot towards her right hand, as if his right hand had some magical power.

"Prefect, there is another prefect in our family!" Mrs. Weasley looked at Percy's right hand and said, "Percy, do you have any presents you want?"

From Bill to Charlie, and then from Charlie to Percy, the Weasley boys will get the prefect badge as soon as they reach the fifth grade, and Fred and George will be in the fifth grade two years later, but...

Ada turned her head to look at the twins, and the twins also sensed Ada's gaze, and the heads of the two turned around in unison, with four eyes staring at Ada at the same time.

"We wouldn't do such a thing!" whispered Fred.

"We will never let that thing stain us!" George also said with a suppressed voice.

Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley was happily discussing what gifts to buy with Percy, completely ignoring the twins' dangerous speech, otherwise the two of them probably wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"Mom, I want to change a pet. Scabbers is too old, how about an owl?" Percy suggested to his mother. He really didn't like the stinky mouse, and he didn't want to deal with the puppy for Scabbers. Garen, this doesn't match his status as a prefect.

Mrs. Weasley hadn't spoken yet, but George said first, "Mom, Ron is going to school this year, and he has more things to buy."

Hearing George's words, Ron looked up at Mrs. Weasley expectantly.Before, he had been looking down at the long shopping list in his hand. He knew that most of the items on it would be second-hand, but if there were new ones, who would want second-hand ones?
Just as Ada was about to raise her hand to say that she had money here, she put her hand down under Mrs. Weasley's glaring gaze.Mrs. Weasley would not ask Ada for a copper coin. They accepted Ada not for money, but because they really liked this sensible girl.

"Keep eating, children." said Mr. Weasley, the head of the family, "There will be a way."

Anything but Bill's old robes, textbooks used by the twins or Ada, maybe Charlie's old wand.The paint on the old wand was so chipped that the unicorn's core was exposed, and Ida doubted whether it could still cast spells.

After breakfast, Ada and the twins carried buckets to the small river outside the village. Instead of continuing to talk about the dinner table, they were talking about today's "Daily Prophet".

"Who would have the guts to rob Gringotts!" Fred said. He didn't worry about Gringotts at all, but felt that the person who did such a thing was too fierce.

The news that Gringotts had been forcibly broken into came out yesterday afternoon, when Ida was still in the Leaky Cauldron.According to witnesses, the goblins at Gringotts missed the robber and let him escape with the loot.

Some people say that the robbers took a large sum of gold from the underground vault of Gringotts, while others said that the robbers took away the treasures hidden in Gringotts.All in all, it was assumed that the robbers had done the impossible, robbed Gringotts, and got away.

The goblins only admit that someone did break into Gringotts, but the robber got nothing, and the same is true in the Daily Prophet.

"It doesn't matter whether he snatched something or not, but being able to get in and come out shows that this robber is not an ordinary person." George rolled up his trouser legs, walked into the small river, and started fishing.

Ada, who was sitting on a rock by the river, was also rolling up her trousers. She said, "I hope this is a grand robber, the kind who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. When I wake up tomorrow, there will be a large bag of gold on the bedside. If That way I will pray for him every day."

"Wake up, stop dreaming, it's still early in the night!" Fred and George Qiqi splashed water on Ida, and the cold river water splashed on her body.

Not to be outdone, Ada also went down to the river and started to fight back.Originally, Ada fought one against two, but it turned into a three-person scuffle just after making a fuss. The water fight didn't stop until all three of them became wet.

The three of them walked upstream along the river, and continued fishing in another place.Ida is very good at fishing, but she can't do it when she is really fishing. If she can choose, she would like to cast an explosion spell on the river, which is simple and straightforward.

"Actually, I have some doubts about Quirrell. He happened to be in the Leaky Cauldron on the day of the accident at Gringotts. Coupled with his weird behavior, it was hard not to be suspected." Ada bent over and said, she found that The fish was much faster than herself, and when she reached out to catch it, the fish had already swam away.

Ada told the twins about Quirrell, and also expressed her own thoughts. Ada felt that Quirrell's timid appearance was because he was pretending to deceive others. He must have other intentions.

"It's really a coincidence, but it's too coincidental! When he went to Diagon Alley, something happened to Gringotts. The coincidence is a bit unreal." Fred said, like Ada, he didn't catch anything.

"If it was really him, your grand thief wouldn't appear. Quirrell doesn't look like a self-sacrificing person." George was carrying a fishing net and was choosing where to drop it. He didn't want to go back empty-handed.

Quirrell's timid temperament really doesn't seem like someone who can do such a big thing, but a wizard who is frightened by dark creatures like vampires has the courage to apply for the position of professor of defense against the dark arts. It's strange.

"We can look at Quirrell on the Marauder's Map when school starts," said George, "just like we did in first grade."

"Agreed, it doesn't matter whether he teaches or not, after school starts, I will make clear arrangements for Quirrell." Fred patted the water vigorously. Today's fish are particularly cunning. He tried for a long time without catching a single fish. .

The three of them found nothing and returned to the Burrow with an empty bucket. When the three of them entered the house, they saw Dumbledore sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was telling stories to Ginny and Ron, and Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen Prepare lunch.

"Professor, why did you come to the Burrow?" Ada asked.

"An old friend of mine happens to be free today, and I think you should go and see him." Dumbledore said, "But don't worry, we can go after lunch."

A group of people gathered in the kitchen, Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Percy were a little prim, and they took Dumbledore's visit very seriously.The twins were not flustered by the sudden home visit. The two brothers were still joking and making the principal laugh.

Ada and Ginny didn't show much. These two people who were not afraid of Dumbledore lowered their heads and ate quietly. Ada wasn't even curious about who he was going to see later, anyway, he would see him later.

"I've always heard Ada praise your cooking skills, and I finally tasted it today, and it's really as good as she said." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Right, Ada?"

Mrs. Weasley was very happy, rubbing her hands on her apron vigorously, she said: "As long as you like it, these children usually cause you trouble."

"I like them very much. The children of the Weasley family have their own characteristics. This is due to you and Arthur." Dumbledore continued, "But Ada, who learned to be naughty from somewhere, Thank you, Molly."
