The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 173 Lend Me For Two Days

Ada and the twins didn't know that after they left, Professor McGonagall went to Dumbledore, so they naturally didn't know what the two discussed.

The three of them didn't have time to test Quirrell anymore. Although they were kicked out of the office by Professor McGonagall, Ada and the twins still did not escape the fate of being punished. The punishment came late.

Regardless of the identity behind Quirrell, the behavior of Ada and the twins is more than just disrespecting the professor. This punishment is not unfair at all, and it is light without deducting points.

On the surface, it was because the three of them disrespected the professor that they were punished this time, but behind it was Professor McGonagall's warning. She was warning Ada and Shuang Bao, and warned them three to stay away from the Philosopher's Stone, and not to Participate in this.

Ada, who doesn't like to work by nature, was punished to clean the trophy display room, and the active twins were punished to go to the library to maintain order.Professor McGonagall's punishment this time can be said to be the right medicine, which made all three of them complain.

In the library, the twins are going crazy, and Ada is exhausted in the trophy room. Ada can't help but complain why Hogwarts has so many trophies that need to be wiped?

The three "bruised and bruised" people who were tortured by the punishment, had a deeper resentment towards Quirrell. Every time they saw Quirrell in class, the three of them gritted their teeth. Now they can't wait to strip Quirrell alive.

This result was unexpected by Professor McGonagall. She did not expect her punishment to be counterproductive. Not only did Ada and the others not forget the Sorcerer's Stone, but they deepened their resentment towards Quirrell.

Fortunately, the ordeal was coming to an end, and their punishment would be over before the Christmas holidays, which were fast approaching.

Just when Ada and the twins were packing their luggage and preparing to return to the Burrow, old Errol broke through the snowstorm and came to Hogwarts, bringing the children a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

After careful consideration by the couple, they decided to visit Charlie in Romania during this holiday, and the children would stay at school for the holiday instead of going back to The Burrow.Charlie just went to Romania this year, and the Weasleys were naturally worried. It was expected that they would go to see Charlie, but Ada had just packed the luggage and had to unpack it again.

The day before the Christmas holiday, the students left the school one after another, and the whole of Hogwarts became empty, and there were not many people in the auditorium even for dinner.

After learning that Ada would not leave school during the Christmas holiday, Snape decisively chose to add lessons to Ada so that she would not have extra time to run around the school.Snape's idea was very simple, instead of letting her run around, it would be better to brew the potion in front of him, so that she would not always make trouble for him.

After dinner, Ada went directly to Snape's office to make up lessons, but Snape asked her to leave with a black face, and Snape asked her to go to another classroom, where Dumbledore would wait she.

Snape's face was very familiar to Ada, like those young teachers who managed to grab a physical education class in the previous life, but had to give up this class to older teachers with more experience, and I was the one who was robbed Unlucky student in gym class.

According to the route Snape said, Ada found the classroom, and Dumbledore hadn't arrived yet.Ada looked around the classroom. Many tables and chairs were piled up against the wall, and the wastebasket was turned upside down. It looked like this classroom hadn't been used for a long time.

There is an imposing mirror in the classroom. It doesn't look like it belongs here. It must have just been moved here, because the other items in the classroom are covered with dust, but this mirror is very clean.

Reaching the ceiling, the mirror was framed in ornate gold and rested on two claw-shaped feet.Inscribed on the top is a line: Eris Stella Uhru Ayitubi Kafru Ayitang Voorhees.

Ada went to the front of the mirror, but what was shown in the mirror was not Ada's face.

In the mirror is a strange young couple holding a newborn child in their arms. The couple smiled lovingly at the child. This child is a gift from God to them.

Then, the picture in the mirror changed, and the strange couple and their children disappeared, replaced by the face of a young man.The young man in the mirror is no longer pale, but the ruddy complexion makes this young man look healthy.

Ada didn't look any further, she took a few steps back, no longer looked at the picture in the mirror, but stared at the line on the top of the mirror.

"Eris Stella Uhru Ayit Ubi Kafru Ayit Ayt Ayt Ayt Ubi Kafru Ayt Ang Voorhees." Ada read in a low voice, and she walked around the classroom a few times, repeating Repeat this line over and over.

Around the tenth turn, Ada finally understood the meaning of this line of lettering. The sentence re-spelled out of the letter order is the true meaning of this line of words: What I show is not your mirror image, but your heart's desire.

After thinking about the meaning of this line, Ada also knew why when she looked in the mirror just now, what appeared in the mirror was not her face, because it showed Ada's inner desire.

What Ada longs for is the love from her parents and a healthy body. What she wants is what she doesn't have.

"I'm glad you are not obsessed with this mirror and wasting your time in front of it." Dumbledore's voice came from the door of the classroom, "It seems that you already know its magic power."

"Professor?" Ada exclaimed, "When did you..." Ada really didn't know when there was an extra person in the classroom. If it was an enemy, Ada would already be a corpse right now .

"While you are walking around the mirror." Dumbledore came over and stood in front of the mirror together. "Don't underestimate yourself, I am Albus Dumbledore."

Dumbledore saw through Ada's mind. Compared with Dumbledore, Ada was like a newborn baby.

"Would you mind telling me, old man, what young Miss Drizzt sees in this mirror?" asked Dumbledore.

Ada said pointedly: "I saw in the mirror that I used the Philosopher's Stone to conjure a lot of gold, and I can't spend it all in my life. What about you?"

"I saw someone gave me a pair of woolen socks." Dumbledore said with a smile, "People always give me a lot of books, but no one ever knows what I want. You should have the same trouble, right?"

Both know that the other is not telling the truth, and what they saw must have been different from what they said.But neither of them was entangled in this point, and there was no need to clearly distinguish many things.

Ada nodded and said, "Of course, the books are really good, but it's boring to always receive books. It's not as good as a big box of chocolate frogs."

"Minerva and Severus both came to me recently, you might as well guess who they came to me for?" Dumbledore looked in the mirror, there was desire in his eyes, but he hid it very well, Ada didn't see it.

"It must be because of me, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here with me looking in the mirror." Ada said.

"That's right, that's why I let you see this mirror, the mirror that people desire in their hearts." Dumbledore gently held the mirror with his hand, "I will use this magical mirror to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, you don't have to Worrying about its safety."

Ada is actually not too worried about the Sorcerer's Stone. Quirrell's actions are all under Dumbledore's control. If Quirrell can play tricks, Dumbledore might as well dig a hole and bury himself.

"I'm just a little envious of Quirrell, because I also have a lot of ideas about the Philosopher's Stone, but I can't do the same thing with him." Ada changed the subject, "But Quirrell is really useless, people watching In a hurry, I wish I could help him."

Looking at Ada's waving arms, Dumbledore smiled happily as if he had seen something very interesting.

It's not a crime to want to take the Philosopher's Stone as your own, the key is to just think about it or put it into action.Ada just thinks about it, and can generously admit that she wants the Sorcerer's Stone, while Quirrell is acting secretly. This is the essential difference between the two.

"Professor, let's discuss, how about you lend me the Philosopher's Stone for two days?"
