The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 214 Ada's Delusions of Persecution
Although it is unclear where the house-elf named Dobby came from, it does not prevent Ada from taking this warning to heart.

During the three years of study and life at Hogwarts, Ada learned to look at problems unreasonably. Anything can happen in the wizarding world. Even at the last moment, you may not be able to know the complete truth.

The unknown is the greatest fear of human beings. The unknown danger in this warning did not make Ada feel scared.

If it's really some hapless kid's prank, all the better, that's the best possible outcome, and Ada will have a peaceful school year.

A faint red glow appeared on the eastern horizon, and the car was getting closer and closer to the Burrow.

Seeing the dark patterns of fields and clusters of trees, Fred lowered the car a little, preparing to land.

"Saint Catchpole," said George, "we'll be home in a minute."

With Fred at the helm, the Ford landed next to the shabby garage at the Burrow.Harry looked at everything in front of him curiously, he thought it was really wonderful here!

Getting out of the car, Ada had a bad premonition. The sky was bright at the moment, which meant that Mrs. Weasley was probably up, and they should have been found.

Sure enough, Ada's bad premonitions always came true, and Mrs. Weasley had already walked out of the house.Her momentum caused the chickens in the yard to scatter, and the plump, kind-hearted woman transformed into a mountain-shaking tiger again.

Ada, Fred, and George immediately lowered their heads, with an attitude of admitting their mistakes honestly, while Ron, who was inexperienced, looked straight at his mother and walked towards them step by step.

Mrs. Weasley stopped in front of them, with her hips akimbo, examining the guilty faces one by one.She was wearing a printed apron with a wand in her pocket.

Whether it's the twins, Ron, or Ida, they are all taller than Mrs. Weasley, but when she gets angry, everyone trembles like a skinny little chick.

Mrs. Weasley's anger, her worry, all exploded the moment she saw the children. She poked her three sons in the chest and yelled loudly to beat them up.

Then Mrs. Weasley came to Ada again, and Ada pretended to be relaxed and said, "Good morning, Mrs. Weasley."

"It's so disappointing to me!" Mrs. Weasley nodded Ada's smooth forehead again and again, "I thought you would stop their nonsense, and even if you didn't stop them, I thought you would sleep on your own bed , but what about you?"

Although she was being scolded by Mrs. Weasley, it was strange that Ada didn't feel bad.

Seeing that Ida finally showed her fox tail in front of Mrs. Weasley, the twins secretly clapped their hands behind them. Seeing Ida who had been trained to keep silent, both of them felt better.

After what seemed hours, Mrs. Weasley was hoarse before turning to Harry.Harry took a few steps back, he had long been intimidated by Mrs Weasley's aura.

The scene Harry expected didn't happen, because Mrs. Weasley vividly explained what double standards are.The Weasley brothers ate piles of lemons in this large double-label scene.

"I'm glad to see you, dear Harry," said Mrs. Weasley. "Come in and have a little breakfast."

Mrs. Weasley treated other people's children differently from her own. Not only was Harry not criticized, but she also received her warm welcome.

Probably, in the eyes of Mrs. Weasley, Harry did not make this mistake subjectively, but was coerced by his own children.It may also be that the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, and it is pleasing to the eye no matter how she sees it.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Weasley turned around and went back to the house. The twins and Ida hurriedly followed. After a busy night, they were already hungry.Harry also followed Ron's gesture into the room.

Ada, the twins, and Ron, the four sat obediently in their seats and had breakfast. They didn't dare to speak, and Mrs. Weasley would block them back if they opened their mouths.

Just as everyone bowed their heads to eat, Ginny, who had just woken up, ran into the kitchen in her pajamas. The moment she saw Harry, she screamed and ran out in a panic.

Her hair was uncombed and her face was unwashed, but her male god saw her sloppy appearance. The young Ginny couldn't bear such a fatal blow.

The low air pressure that enveloped the kitchen was not broken until Mr. Weasley came back. He greeted the children cheerfully, and then learned from his wife what happened last night.

His children sneaked out the car, drove across half of England, and picked up Harry Potter.

"Really?" asked Mr. Weasley with concern. "Is it flying well?"

Apparently, Mr. Weasley wasn't mad that the kids were out in his car in the middle of the night, and he wanted to know how his beloved car was doing.

After seeing his wife's "killing" eyes, Mr. Weasley quickly changed his words and began to educate the children.

The Weasley family was set up by a strict mother and a loving father. Since coming to the Burrow, Ada has never seen Mr. Weasley lose his temper.The only time Ada knew of Mr. Weasley losing his temper was when Fred tricked Ron into making the Unbreakable Vow.

After a night of flying from Devon to Surrey and back, everyone was sleepy but couldn't go to bed because Mrs. Weasley had sent them off to clear the garden of gnomes.

The twins and Ron had to fight the goblins in the garden.

Harry was not punished, he could go to bed and rest, but Harry, who was interested in everything about the Burrow, didn't go to sleep, but went to the garden with the Weasley brothers very loyally.His behavior was praised by Mrs. Weasley again, as expected of you, Molly Weasley, the internationally famous double standard.

In the garden, the four boys threw the goblins all over the place, and Ada was not allowed to rest, but she didn't come to the garden to clean up the goblins either.Just after breakfast, Ada ran away very shamelessly. It was shameful to escape, but it was useful!
At this moment, Ada was hiding in the shed behind the bar of the Leaky Cauldron, her weight leaning against the wall, her eyes closed and her head biting.This is no longer fishing, Ada fell asleep directly, still in front of her boss, maintaining a standing posture is probably the last awe she has for her work.

Old Tom, who looked like a wrecked walnut, appeared beside Ada. Naturally, he couldn't watch his employees treat work with such an attitude, so he cleared his throat vigorously.

The sound woke up Ada directly, and Ada, who was in a hurry, accidentally knocked the cup in Tom's hand.

Old Tom clutched his chest, and this moment made him feel bad. He looked at Ada, and then at the "corpse" of the cup on the ground. Although the broken cup can be repaired with magic, he is really good. Want to deduct Ada's wages!

Ada, who was completely sleepy, straightened her back, walked back to the bar, and devoted herself to her work as a waiter.Her eyes wandered among the guests, she was looking for someone, and at the beginning of the vacation, she found someone in the bar following her.

Ada discovered this by accident. At first, she just felt that someone was always staring at her, but she didn't take it too seriously. Someone stared at her before. There were everyone in the bar, one or two It's normal to not open your eyes.

But this feeling of being stared at always appeared, which aroused Ada's vigilance, even if she didn't care, she began to pay attention to the guests in the bar, trying to find out who was staring at her. that person.

Gradually, Ada targeted three people, two of whom were down-and-out middle-aged wizards who looked very ordinary.Every now and then they would visit the bar and order a couple of rum punches.

Every time Ada passed by them, all she heard was the family's gossip.And when Ida was far away from them, they would keep their eyes on her and monitor her every move.

What was left was an unattractive young witch, but this witch was a little strange, and Ada couldn't understand her behavior.When the two wizards are not in the bar, the witch will focus on Ada, and when the two wizards appear in the bar, the witch's eyes will shift to the two wizards.

The young witch looked more like she was here for the two men than to spy on Ida.

It's just that this young witch should have just graduated and is a little inexperienced. Ada discovered this young witch first, and then followed the clues to find the two wizards.

Through observation, Ada felt that they were not in the same group and should come from different factions.Ada really wanted to know what the purpose of their staring at her was, but she couldn't directly rush to ask, because it would be useless except to scare the snake.

So, Ada made a somewhat reckless decision. She decided to risk herself and use herself as a bait to catch these people.

For this reason, Ada no longer returned to the Burrow through Floo powder, but would walk a certain distance in Charing Cross Road, put herself on the list, and lure the other party to make a move, so that she would have a reason to make a move on them.

But the other party didn't walk into this trap. They seemed to be only here to monitor Ada, and they didn't intend to do anything to Ada.

This almost weird monitoring method made Ida puzzled, and what puzzled her even more was that since the end of July, the two middle-aged wizards had never been to the Leaky Cauldron, as if the world had evaporated Same.The remaining young witch came a few more times, but after a few times, she never came again.

With the disappearance of the three people, the feeling of being stared at and watched never appeared again, and everything returned to normal.

Still found nothing today, Ada still couldn't find the figures of the three people, the bar was full of ordinary customers.She seemed to be suffering from persecution paranoia, as if being followed was just a figment of her own imagination.
