The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 217 What to do if you miss the train

The summer vacation ended too quickly, and the random boxing match in Diagon Alley seemed like yesterday, but the calendar has been torn to the last chapter of August, and it is time to board the train and return to school tomorrow.

During this holiday, Ada focused more on the three monitors, and ignored many people and things that happened around her.

For example, Percy's love affair, Percy is bored in the room for a summer vacation, writing letters to the girl he likes.The official fan Percy, a person who read "How Prefects Get Power", actually likes a girl, which is really unexpected.

There is also Ginny's transformation. The 11-year-old girl seems to have grown up overnight and started to have her own thoughts.She would carry Ada on her back when she wrote her diary, and she no longer pestered Ada to ask questions like before. She also refused the proposal of her mother and Ida to help her pack her luggage.

Ada didn't think too much about Ginny's transformation in the second half of the summer vacation. She simply thought that Harry's arrival accelerated the little girl's growth.

With the male god by her side, Ginny naturally wanted to become better, so she would no longer show the appearance of her former little sister.What should I do if I continue like this and be treated as my younger sister by my male god?
In this wave, Ada thought she was standing in the stratosphere, but in the end she was standing in the basement.

On the last night, Mrs. Weasley cooked a large table, and everyone could find something they liked.Do you think that Mrs. Weasley, who has treated each other equally for half the holiday, will treat everyone equally on the last night?No, Harry obviously likes food more than everyone else.

After the sumptuous dinner, Ada took Ron to play wizard chess again, but she couldn't fight Ron until dawn, because the twins turned down the brightness in the room, and they were about to start the fireworks show.

The pyrotechnics that are set off include hard-charging pyrotechnics, as well as small pyrotechnics developed by themselves.The room was full of starlight, red and blue stars bouncing between the ceiling and the walls.

The flickering light gave Ada the illusion of being in a nightclub. It would be more like a spirited guy waving his hands and shouting "857, 857".

Early the next morning, Mrs. Weasley woke everyone up in a hurry, and everyone hurriedly stuffed their things into the car.

Nine people, seven large suitcases, two owls, a dog and a mouse, this Ford Anglia is carrying more than it should for its age and mileage.

It was also the first time that Ada knew why when others went out, she had to wish them all the best, because after Mr. Weasley drove the car out of the Burrow, they returned to the Burrow three times after being lost.

Not only Mrs. Weasley's temper became irritable, but even Ida couldn't stand it anymore.

When they arrived at King's Cross, the Hogwarts Express was still a quarter of an hour away.The whole family rushed towards platform nine and three-quarters in a hurry. The wheels of the trolley were about to burst into sparks at such a blazing speed.

Mr. Weasley and Percy rushed into the platform first, followed by Ada and the twins. The moment George passed the platform, Mrs. Weasley rushed to the platform with Ginny.

They boarded the train with great difficulty, and without even saying goodbye, the train spewed out billowing smoke and drove towards the Scottish Highlands.

No one noticed that Harry and Ron, who had fallen last, hadn't boarded the train, or even appeared on the platform.

In a box in the last carriage, friends who hadn't seen each other during the summer vacation were greeting each other.

It seems that many people have grown up during this holiday. Angelina and Alia lost their immature faces, and even Li Qiaodan became more stable, and stopped holding a marsupial spider and asking girls if they like it.

Growing up isn't just physical, you don't grow up when you get fuzz around your mouth or your chest starts to bulge.But from the day you understand what is responsibility and what is commitment, you are considered to have grown up.

"You know, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Gilderoy Lockhart." Fred started, "The guy who laughs like an idiot."

Anyone who has read the "Daily Prophet" knows this news. Others stay away from this position, but Lockhart chose to face the difficulties.I don't know if he is really ignorant or fearless.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, is it?" Alia said, "I think he looks good, and he graduated from Ravenlock."

"Exaggeration?" George pointed at Ada, "After meeting Lockhart in Diagon Alley, Ida almost burned her clothes when she went back, because she clashed with Lockhart."

Angelina and Alia looked at Ada in disbelief. Ada was very polite to all professors except Snape and Quirrell.

Li Jordan is a straight man with a capital letter, so he didn't beat around the bush, he said: "Quirina Schillo is also a Ravenclaw, his courses are a disaster, and he was picked up by the big devil Ada. "

"It's different, okay, Quirrell is a special case, can't every professor from Ravenclaw look like this?" Alia retorted, "Besides, how many people in the magic world can do what we do? Ada is so powerful, losing to Ada is no shame."

"I think we should still trust Dumbledore. He has his reasons for choosing Lockhart." Angelina said something fair, "It's a bit unfair to equate him with Quirrell without even taking a class. fair."

Everyone has a bad impression of Gilderoy Lockhart, mainly from the three aspects of appearance, high-profile behavior and item list. In addition, he has a brilliant record in the book, but no one has seen him make a move outside the book , naturally have doubts about him.

In the next year, the world will know how much Gilderoy Lockhart weighs, whether he is as great as written in his book, or a liar who only sells silly laughs, everything will be in the dark Shown in Defense Against Magic class.

"Maybe he's thinking about a new book," Fred said disdainfully. "I've already thought up the title for him. It's called A Year of Teaching the Savior."

Fred's words reminded Ada of herself. She once wanted to write "The Roof to Shelter with the Savior from the Rain", but now a year has passed, but she hasn't even written the title of the book.

"His writing is worthy of recognition, those writings are great." Ada said, she has read all Lockhart's books, "I hope he can be worthy of every copper Knut I paid, otherwise this matter will never end .”

Some exaggeration in literary creation is normal, otherwise, where does the selling point come from, as long as Lockhart is not too watery, everyone can accept it.The existence of Quirrell has lowered the students' requirements for this course. As long as Lockhart can behave like a normal wizard, he will be considered a pass.

Several people were chatting enthusiastically, but they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Hermione opened the car door, followed by an anxious Ginny.Ginny glanced into the carriage, her eyes instantly turned red.

"What's the matter?" Fred stood up abruptly, pulled his sister and asked, "Who bullied you, is it that brat from the Malfoy family?"

George and Li Qiaodan also rolled up their arms and stood up, intending to find this young man to discuss the mysteries of the human body.

"Where are Ron and Harry?" Ada asked.The three people who have always been inseparable, but Hermione is the only one bringing Ginny here at this moment, which is obviously problematic.

"Ginny and I searched all the compartments, but we didn't see Harry and Ron." Hermione was also a little anxious, "Not even yours... Ada, what should we do?"

Hermione Granger was only in her second year now, and she wasn't the one who turned the whole book into Hermione and Her Two Useless Men.Harry and Ron could not be found, which made Hermione a little flustered, and subconsciously asked Ada for help.

After thinking about it carefully, after entering the platform again, I did not see Ron and Harry again.Ada asked, "Fred, George, did you two see Ron and Harry enter the platform?"

"After us is you, and after you are Mom and Ginny..." Fred thought back, "The two of them didn't come in!"

Ginny, who had just been coaxed, had red eyes again. The male god and her brother disappeared at the same time. This was a huge blow.George just wanted to talk, but now he could only shut up, and went to coax his only sister again.

"Hermione, Ginny don't worry." Ada comforted the two young girls, "We enter the platform, and the train will leave immediately. Even if Ron and Harry fail to enter the platform, as long as they wait for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley will come out, and there will be a way to take them to school then."

If Ida were Ron or Harry, she would have waited where she was and left the matter to the elders in the family.If Ada herself had missed the train, she would have apparated straight to Hogsmeade.

It's just that Ida still has another worry. Dobby the house elf had warned Harry that terrible things would happen at school, and hoped that Harry would not return to Hogwarts.Now that Ron and Harry didn't make it onto the platform to board the train, was it really just because they were late?Can the appearance of Dobby the house elf really be regarded as a prank by a bear kid?

Ada drew out her wand and said in a low voice, "Call God to protect you!"

I saw a cloud of silvery-white, translucent steam coming out of the tip of Ada's wand, and the steam converged into a chow chow.This chow chow, which looks a bit simple and honest, circled around Ida twice, then rushed out of the window and headed north.

"What's that?" asked Hermione, who had never seen a spell like it before.

"The Patronus Charm." Ada replied, "I told Professor McGonagall that Ron and Harry failed to board the train on time, and she will find a way."
