The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 243 The Two Weasley Fools
The Gaunt family, a family that has disappeared for decades, is the last descendant of Slytherin.As early as the beginning of the investigation of clues in the secret room, Ada set her sights on this family.

It's just that Ada's investigation didn't go deep because the clues were broken.

Today, the records about the Gaunt family were found again, which can be regarded as continuing this broken thread.Ada may be able to find clues about the location of the secret room from the history of the Gunter family.

This ancient family is the last of the descendants of Slytherin.However, because they are used to marrying close relatives to protect the purity of blood, this family has become irritable, restless, and violent from generation to generation.

Ada even wondered if the members of the Gunter family had some mental problems, and their behavior was no longer like normal people.

Most pure-blood families pass down amazing wealth, and so did the Gaunts, who used to be very rich, richer than the Malfoys.

They pay special attention to luxury and extravagance, but the members of this family are all prodigal sons and irrational.The result of sitting and eating is that they become poorer and poorer, and the family property has long been squandered by these people.

They have nothing left but the glory of the pure-blood who will never let go.No, they still had a house left, if that could be called a house.

When they came to Marvolo Gaunt, they were even poorer than Ada who had just entered Hogwarts.

These are all the contents that Ida found in the wizard genealogy books, but "The Origin of Gunter" introduces another side of the Gunter family.

In this book, in addition to Salazar Slytherin, the Gaunt family's ancestry can be traced back to the three Peverell brothers, who are descendants of Cadmus Peverell.

In the most famous children's story in the magic world, "The Tales of Beedle the Poet", there is a story called "The Legend of the Three Brothers", which is inspired by the three Peverell brothers.

According to legend, the three brothers are the original owners of the Deathly Hallows, and those who own the Deathly Hallows can defeat death.

Some people regard the stories of the three brothers as fairy tales and fables; Hallows.

This sounds like a tall Deathly Hallows, which has fascinated many people, many of whom are powerful wizards, such as Grindelwald.

Not only was the original Dark Lord always looking for the Deathly Hallows, he also took the mark of the Deathly Hallows as his own symbol.Ada had seen this symbol in Nurmengard's castle before.

Today, on a wall of the Durmstrang School of Magic, you can still find the Deathly Hallows mark left by Grindelwald.

The ancestor of the Gaunt family, Cadmus Peverell, was also the second brother who was said to have the resurrection stone.If the three Peverell brothers and the Deathly Hallows really exist, then the stone that can bring the dead back to life is likely to be in this family.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that these scammers and prodigal sons will sell the resurrection stone for money.

In addition to getting involved with Peverell, Ada also found their relationship with the secret room in "The Origin of Gunter". This family knows where the secret room is, and they may have even opened it!

The legend of the Chamber of Secrets first circulated within the Gaunt family, and they would tell the news to those they decided to share it with.

But many people took what the Gaunt family said as bragging, and no one could hear the basilisk hidden in the castle, so not many people believed the story.

Despite this, the legend of the Chamber of Secrets survived and existed in different versions over the centuries.

In the process of spreading the legend, for unknown reasons, the Gaunt family was gradually erased, and almost no one knew the relationship between the Chamber of Secrets and this family.

This also makes Slytherin's chamber of secrets and the basilisks that occupy it even more mysterious.

The author of "The Origin of the Gaunts" believed in this legend, and he may have known the Gaunts, or he may have been a Gaunts.He believed that in the years since the secret room was built, it had been opened more than once, and some attacks that happened in the castle were placed on the top of the secret room.

The last mention of the Chamber of Secrets in the books is in the eighteenth century and relates to a man named Corvinus Gaunt.

The castle has existed for centuries, so it naturally needs to be renovated, and the underground drainage pipes also need to be repaired. The secret room is no longer safe, and it may be discovered by others at any time.

In order to ensure the concealment of the secret room, Corvinus and others built a bathroom at the lost entrance, and left an entrance and exit that only they could pass through.

After reading this, the book is over for Ada, who has little interest in the follow-up of this somewhat anti-social family.

Although it is a pity that the specific location of the secret room is not stated in the book, Ada at least got a crucial clue.The hidden entrance of the secret room is hidden in the bathroom, as long as you find that bathroom, you are only one step away from the secret room.

The investigation of the Chamber of Secrets has turned around, but new problems have followed. There are so many bathrooms in Hogwarts, which one is the correct one?

It's the 90s of the twentieth century, so many years have passed, is that bathroom still there?
The castle has also been renovated in the past 200 years. Has the former bathroom been remodeled again?

One question after another appeared, and Ada's little head hurt again.Ada regretted why she couldn't go to Shell Street when she was wandering around Charing Cross Road.

Now she urgently needs a Holmes who can be magical to help her solve the predicament in front of her, instead of the two Weasley idiots who only tease Harry!

Forget it, these two big fools are pretty good, so let's not draw circles and curse them.

Just as Ida was facing the wall and thinking about it, two Weasley idiots appeared in the Room of Requirement, and they both had some food in their hands.No need to think about who these cakes are for.

"The dwarves left the school after dinner," said Fred. "There will be no more dwarfs hanging around you."

"Are you hungry?" George handed the cake to Ada and continued, "Take these cakes and deal with them."

Ada, who was drawing circles on the ground, suddenly got angry. Instead of taking the cake, she moved her body to the other side.She said angrily: "Not hungry! Don't eat!"

But her stomach was very shameless, and the moment she smelled the aroma of the cake, it started to growl.

Fred and George showed smirks behind Ada. George paused for a while, and then said, "Well, it's delicious, Fred, you should try it too! The milky aroma is rich, the taste is delicate, and the aftertaste is endless."

Ada covered her ears from the chewing sound of George, she wanted to resist the temptation.

Merlin, if I'm guilty, just take me away!Don't let these two big fools torture me!Ada thought so.

"Really, I'll try it!" Fred pretended to be very interested, and he said loudly, "It's really delicious. Is this a new flavor developed by house elves? Why haven't I tasted it before?" Pass?"

The scent of the cake in the air became more and more intense, and it kept rushing into Ada's nose, and her empty stomach rang again.

She secretly turned her head to take a look, but found that the twins were looking at her with a smirk.The two of them didn't eat the cake they brought, they just broke the cake and put it behind her head.

"It's turned around, don't you really want to take a bite?" Fred said, "Don't make things difficult for yourself!"

Taking the cake that George handed her, Ada took a sip, and she swore she really only took a sip.

Maybe it's because I'm really hungry, or maybe it's because the cake is really delicious. Anyway, Ida ate it very deliciously, and I completely forgot the oath of "a small bite".

"Tell me, it's because of my petty temper again," George said, "Don't talk about being confessed!"

"Yes, you should be happy." Fred started to act desperately again, "Think about it, every Valentine's Day, there was no one who dared to confess to you, hiding from you was like hiding from a fire dragon."

Ada, who ate like a hamster, took a blank look at Fred. She had never had much image in front of the twins.

"What does this mean, George, do you know what this means?" Fred ignored Ada's white eyes and asked George.

George was also very cooperative, he said: "What does it mean?"

"It means that Ida has grown up, and the group of silly boys outside finally realize that Ida is a girl!" Fred said while laughing, completely oblivious to Ada's evil little hand reaching out to him.
