The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 143 The Problem Is No Money

It was already evening when Dumbledore took Ada back to St. Catchpole Village, and Newt and Tina stayed with them for supper.Probably because of meeting Dumbledore, Newt talks about having sex, and he also shares with Ada some of his travel experiences.

Ada, who has never seen anything in the world, was fascinated by what Newt had seen and heard, as well as the magical animals he talked about. Ada even began to look forward to the protection of magical creatures next semester.

St. Catchpole at night was extremely quiet, and Ada, who was walking on the road, was talking about Quirrell with Dumbledore.Ada thinks that Dumbledore's wisdom is equivalent to Einstein in Muggles. He can help him solve the confusion about Quirrell, and he can also remind Dumbledore to pay attention to Quirrell.

Ada told Dumbledore about Quirrell's behavior in the Leaky Cauldron Bar, as well as her own thoughts, and she continued: "Professor, do you think this Quirrell is strange, I always think he is the same as Foley, I'm holding back to make a big news come out."

"It's Professor Quirrell, Ada, he will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for the next school year." Dumbledore corrected, "But Quirinus' behavior is indeed weird, and it's normal for you to have such thoughts .”

"Am I too suspicious? Quirrell... Is Professor Quirrell really just looking weird?" Ada wavered a little bit about her own thoughts.

After experiencing Foley and Cecil, Ada was full of distrust and even a little prejudice against the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.It's also because the pits dug by these two seniors were too deep, and Ida was buried in each pit.

Dumbledore gently patted Ada's head, like a loving elder, he said: "On the contrary, there is nothing wrong with your discovery and your thinking, because I think so too."

"When did you find out that Quirrell might have a problem?" Ada wanted to know how Dumbledore found out, and also wondered if he had made any preparations.

"You still have to call Quirinus a professor now." Dumbledore corrected Ada's address again, and then continued, "I can't say I know every student, but a student with a smart brain like him, I It is still very impressive, so his abnormality cannot escape my eyes."

"I'm also trying to get to know you, for example, you definitely want to tell the Weasley twins about my judgment now, don't you?" Dumbledore asked with a smile, and then added, "I'm useless Legilimency Oh!"

"Indeed." Ada flatly admitted Dumbledore's conjecture, "Then how do you plan to deal with Quirrell...uh, Professor Quirrell..."

"I've made all the preparations, it will be a great plan." Speaking of this, Dumbledore changed his words, "Actually, I hope that Quirinus will take the initiative to come to me, so that It can save a lot of trouble, and I can also help him solve the problem."

"You seem to like to give others a chance to change their ways?" Ada asked puzzled.Ask yourself, if Ada had Dumbledore's power, then she would definitely kill and not think about giving others another chance.

Dumbledore raised his head, looked at the night sky and said slowly: "This is another story. This story is very long. I will tell you next time I have a chance."

"By the way, after school starts, I may have something to trouble you, so enjoy the rest of your holiday life!" After saying this, Dumbledore directly Apparated and left here, leaving Ada still unsatisfied. Staring at the night sky in a daze.

Is the long story in Dumbledore's mouth related to Voldemort?Or is it about Grindelwald?

The Burrow lights were still on, and in the living room Percy was chasing the twins as Fred and George passed each other his prefect badges, Ron and Ginny were clapping and laughing, Mr Weasley kindly watch them.

Mrs. Weasley was standing at the door calling Ida's name softly. The breeze gently blew across the garden, and the girl's footsteps were light. This night contained too much tenderness in the world.

On Wednesday morning, all the children in the family were woken up early by Mrs. Weasley. Today everyone was going to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies.I don't know what solution Mr. Weasley came up with, but it's clear that he's figured it out.

Everyone lined up to go to Diagon Alley through the fireplace. There was still a lot of Floo powder in the flower pot. Mrs. Weasley and Ada would buy Floo powder back, and they usually used the Floo network more often.

Everyone thought they got up very early, but when they arrived at Diagon Alley, the broad street was already full of people.Adult wizards, minor wizards, all kinds of people shuttle on the cobbled streets.

Mr. Weasley took Percy to the Yila Owl Shop, where he would buy an owl for Percy as a gift for Percy's prefect badge.Mrs. Weasley took the twins and Ron to buy robes, the twins' robes no longer fit, and Ada took little Ginny to a second-hand bookstore.

Ada squatted on the ground and carefully selected second-hand books, while Ginny read to her with the book list at the side. She was a regular customer of this second-hand bookstore, but unfortunately the owner never gave her any discounts.Ada first picked out a copy of "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense" by Quentin Trimble, which Ron needed.

Of course, this book is not the only one on the freshmen's shopping list, but Ron's brothers can make some for him, such as "Standard Spells: Elementary" and "Elementary Transformation Guide".

As for the teaching materials needed for Defense Against the Dark Arts, there is no way to gather them together. It can only be blamed that the professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts are all yearly, and they don't last long.The professors are changing every year, and the textbooks chosen by each professor are different, even if they want to, they can't get them together.

Ada began to select the books for the twins from the pile of old books, and she had already bought her own.Ada goes to work at the Leaky Cauldron every day and can buy everything in her free time.

After a while, Mrs. Weasley came to the second-hand bookstore with the twins and Ron, but only she and Ron walked in.Fred and George didn't come in with their mother, but waved to Ada at the door to let her out.

Ada handed Ginny and the selected books to Mrs. Weasley, and then walked out of the second-hand bookstore.Ada patted the dust on her hands, and said, "Why don't you go to the store, anyway, I'm picking your books."

"Dad took Percy to the Eilah Owl..." said Fred gravely.
"Maybe a new robe for Percy," George continued, following his twin brother's words.

Ada nodded to show that she knew about it, and she said, "So, what do you want to express?"

"Everything Ron has is old, Bill's robes, our old books..." Fred sighed.

"Maybe even the wand is old. You should have seen Charlie's old wand." George kept looking at Ron in the second-hand store.

Ada stretched out both hands to touch the twins' foreheads. Are they both sick today? They are so considerate of their little brother.The twins clapped her hands away, and they said in unison: "We are both fine, we are not sick, but we feel a little uncomfortable."

Enrolling new students is often the most expensive, and this year, Percy became a prefect and needs some rewards. In terms of the financial situation of the Weasley family, this year is indeed a very difficult year.

Poor little Ron is neither the oldest nor the youngest, and he is not as good as Percy. Among so many children, Ron is the one who is most likely to be ignored, so he probably really needs them all this year. Used up.

"What do you two want to buy him? A new robe or a new wand?" Ada was also looking at Ron. "I suggest that it is better to buy a wand. Using an old wand will affect his studies."

Fred and George nodded frantically. They had the same idea as Ada. Fred said with a sad face, "But there is another problem, that is, we have no money."

"It's not that there is no money, but that it's just a little short..." George also put on a pain mask, and to prove that it was really just a little short, he even gestured with his thumb and index finger.
