The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 212 Another day for Calvin

There is a very famous street in London called Charing Cross Street. This street is famous for its bookstores. There are modern bookstores and antique bookstores here. You can always find what you love here.

At the same time, it is also the entrance to another world, a place where little Muggle-born wizards experience magic for the first time.

This entrance is an old pub, small, dark and cozy, it is protected by many powerful hidden charms, so that it will not be discovered by Muggles and will not be disturbed by Muggles.

For centuries it was not just a pub, a place to exchange wizarding gossip, it was a safe haven and sanctuary for wizards.

This is the busiest time of the day in the bar. The small bar is full of drinkers, a little noisy, but with a bit of smoke.

Ada carried a tray among the chattering drinkers, occasionally chiming in to say a few words.At first, Ada stayed at the Leaky Cauldron just to make money, but now she has another reason to stay here, she likes the fireworks here.

A few down-and-out young wizards sitting in the corner were criticizing current affairs. Their clothes were a bit old and they drank the cheapest brandy.There are also some people gathered together, talking about their parents, sharing some interesting things in life, or sharing each other's troubles.

There are also people who are bragging about their experiences. They saw a certain dark wizard or some dark creature in a certain time and place.

Whenever they got to a critical point, they would clear their throats or cough dryly, and then a drinker would buy a glass of wine for such a person so that they could continue listening to the story.

Some of these stories are true or false, but no one cares about the authenticity of the stories, as long as they are told vividly and interestingly, that is enough.

Of course, seeing someone successfully deceiving alcohol in this way, other people will follow suit, but there are not many people who can really cheat and drink.Telling a story sounds very simple, and you feel that you can do it with a mouth, but when you do it, you find that it is a very difficult thing. Just having a mouth is really not enough.

Only those who can tell a good story can get a glass of wine. Such people are rare in bars, so some people are willing to spend money to buy wine for them. If everyone can tell a good story, this kind of exchange The act of booze has long since disappeared.

The world is full of people who can tell great stories, but not in bars.Such a big talent will not be relegated to such a small place as the Leaky Cauldron, and they will all write books and make a lot of money, such as Gilderoy Lockhart.

Gilderoy Lockhart, a writer who won the third class of the Order of Merlin for his writing and experience in the book.He has just released his new book "I Can Be Magical" recently, and this new book set off a carnival among witches as soon as it came out.

Witches of all ages poured into Diagon Alley in batches, and all the bookstores were occupied by Lockhart's fans.If it wasn't for a large family to take care of, Ida believed that Mrs. Weasley would also appear in this group of fans. She admired Lockhart, a great writer with real skills and a "charming smile".

During this period of time, the bar often heard praises for Lockhart. In his book, he was omnipotent and did a lot of amazing things. If these things are true, it is indeed worthy of praise.

Ada had accidentally talked about Lockhart with Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall had a bad impression of this great writer. She thought Lockhart was a vain philistine.

Although Gilderoy Lockhart's heroic deeds are increasing, it still fails to change Professor McGonagall's bad impression of Lockhart.

Speaking of this best-selling author, Ada thought of the wizard who encountered vampires and werewolves in the Balkan Peninsula.Last year, Ada just said something casually, but this man really went to write a book like Feng Lunyin, and then Ada never saw this man again.

I don't know whether the wizard who was limped by his own words has written a good book or published it, let alone whether he has starved to death.Ada felt that her outspokenness was really a crime, and now she only hoped that he was okay.

Holding the empty tray, Ada went back behind the bar, picked up the wine glass and started fishing. This kind of skill has always been self-taught and does not need to be taught at all.

Although she was fishing, Ada did not let herself go. While wiping the wine glass in her hand, she carefully observed the guests in the bar to see what else they needed.

It is very easy for Ada to focus on two tasks. After all, Snape's "torture" education method is still very effective.

Fishing is a comforting thing. Ida fished while working in the Leaky Cauldron, and before I knew it, the whole of July passed.

One night in early August, Ada was going to rest in the room, but was called out by the sneaky twins.When Ada came out with the two brothers, she found that Ron was also there.

Seeing Ida who didn't understand the situation, Fred said straight to the point: "Ada, we are going to pick up Harry, do you want to go with us?"

"How are you going?" Ada asked. "You're not planning to drive in Mr. Weasley's car?"

Looking at the three people who were silent, Ada confirmed her guess in an instant. They were indeed planning to modify the Ford.Ada continued: "Mrs. Weasley's attitude towards this car, you should be clear, if you dare to move this car..."

"Of course we considered the consequences," said Ron, "but Ada, you heard what Dad said, Harry needs us now."

The cause of the incident originated from a message brought back by Mr. Weasley, a message about Harry Potter.

Harry was warned by the Ministry of Magic for using magic outside of school, or in front of Muggles, in violation of the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act.

After knowing this, Ron couldn't sit still. He thought that there must be a reason for Harry's use of magic outside the school. In addition, he didn't reply all the time. He felt that Harry must be doing very badly now.

After thinking hard for two days, Ron found Fred and George, hoping that his two brothers could help him find a way to save Harry who was in trouble.

This magically modified Ford that can fly is the way the twins came up with. They flew to Little Whinging District in the dark, picked up Harry who had lost contact, and then returned to the Burrow in the dark.

"Don't worry, it'll be all right," said Fred. "Pick up Harry, and we'll be right back. It won't be daylight when we get home, and Mother won't know."

"After Harry arrives at the Burrow, Mom will definitely focus on Harry," George said, "Even if Mom guesses what we did, she won't punish us, she doesn't care about us."

The three brothers had full confidence in their plan. They could not only take Harry out of the miserable Muggle life, but also satisfy their own curiosity, without being punished by Mrs. Weasley, killing three birds with one stone.

Ada wanted to ask them where they got their inexplicable confidence that Mrs. Weasley would not punish them for their mistakes because of Harry's presence.

In fact, for this matter, the twins and Ron are enough, and it doesn't matter if Ada goes or not.The twins and Ron called Ada, and they just asked a question to explain to Ada.

If Ada went with them, it would be equivalent to an extra boost. If Ada didn't go, once they didn't come back on time, Ada could also delay Mrs. Weasley and cover them.

"How about it, do you want to go together?" Fred bewitched, "You must have never been in a flying car, don't you really want to try it?"
