The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 28 The Improper Twins

On Saturday morning, the students who had been busy all week were falling asleep, and even Hogwarts became lazy.

Ada was rolling on the bed. She struggled to get up and changed her clothes sleepily.She left the lounge without disturbing Angelina and Alia, who were sleeping soundly.

The auditorium seemed deserted, and people in twos and threes gathered together for breakfast.Ada said hello to Gryffindor who was passing by. Since Professor McGonagall talked to her, the communication between Ada and her classmates has also increased.

After breakfast, Ada wandered around the castle, and she was still looking for the "safe house".It is not a long-term solution to take two boys to the girls' bathroom every three days.

Ada wandered around and couldn't find the one she wanted, so she wandered to the library alone.

Mrs. Pince was "patrolling" the library with a feather duster in her hand, and there were not many students reading.Ada walked through the rows of bookshelves and stopped at the Defense Against the Dark Arts bookshelves.Ada felt that someone was staring at her, and turned around to meet Mrs. Pince's eyes.

"I'm not going to the Restricted Section, ma'am," Ada said with a smile.

Mrs. Pince did not respond to Ada, she glanced at Ada, then turned and left.It's just that she still looks at Ada from time to time.

Ada took a book from the shelf and sat down at a random place.There were occasional discussions in the library in a low voice, but overall it was still very quiet. Everyone was quite aware of the "power" of the feather duster in Mrs. Pince's hands.

Around ten o'clock, the even twin brothers also came to the library. The two brothers walked directly to Ada's side, and then lay on the left side and the right side of Ada, continuing their unfinished sleep.

After a while, Ada's biological clock reminded her on time: it's time to eat.Ada looked up at the clock, it was past eleven o'clock, she closed the book and woke up the twins who were still sleeping.

"Hmm...what's the matter..." Fred rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze.

"I'm going to eat. After dinner, we have to go to the bathroom to practice spells." Ada stood up and went to Mrs. Pince to borrow books.

"Oh... okay..." George also stood up and left with Ida. He bumped into the table several times along the way without waking up.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the three left the castle. They were going to see Hagrid, which was an appointment at the Quidditch pitch.

The three of them came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid's cabin was here. There was a giant crossbow and a pair of rubber overshoes in front of the gate. Judging from the size, it was immediately recognizable that these items belonged to Hagrid.

The twins looked at the Forbidden Forest, and the two were full of longing for the Forbidden Forest.When school just started, the two wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest to explore, but the castle was too big. The matter of exploring the castle stopped the two of them, and made it difficult for the two brothers to go to the Forbidden Forest to find out.

Fred, who looked away, went to the wooden door and knocked, and there were a few muffled dog barks from inside the room.Fred said, "Hagrid, Hagrid, here we come."

Hagrid opened the wooden door, revealing his huge body, and behind him was a fierce-looking black hound.The hound wants to get out, but the chain on his collar kills his yearning for "freedom."

Hagrid let the three of them into the cabin, which had only one room, with the kitchen, living room and bedroom all in one place.The big bed in the corner suited Hagrid's size, and everything in the room was queen-sized.

A copper pot was sitting in the brazier, and the water was already boiling.Hagrid first poured the boiling water from the copper kettle into a large teapot, and then used the teapot to give each of Ada and the others a glass of water.

"Drink some hot water to get rid of the cold." Hagrid said enthusiastically, and he turned around and took out some rock cakes and put them on the dinner plate.

While Hagrid was busy, George whispered in Ida's ear, "If you don't want to change your teeth, don't try."

Hearing this, Ada suddenly became interested in rock cakes. The rock cakes look a bit rough, and the shape is not up to the mark. There are some raisin-like things sprinkled on them for embellishment. It really doesn't look appetizing .

Ada picked up a piece from the dinner plate, feeling a little hard.The rock pie in her hand gave Ada the feeling of holding a brick instead of a pastry.

"Try it, Ida. My craftsmanship is still very good." After Hagrid saw it, he enthusiastically offered rock cakes to Ida, "If you like it, bring some more when you leave. You study so hard , I should eat more food to supplement my brainpower..."

Feeling the hard pastry in her hand, Ada cursed herself in her heart: Damn it!Make you mean!Makes you curious!How come you have such a short memory!
Ada, who was unable to get off the tiger, put the rock skin cake into her mouth and tried it lightly, but she didn't bite.

Fred and George held their cups and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. They signaled Ada to try harder and take a bigger mouthful.The two brothers looked at each other and understood each other's intentions: a grand funeral will be held for Ada's front teeth!

Hagrid's hound kept barking from the moment the three of them entered the cabin, and Hagrid walked over to loosen its chain.

As soon as Hagrid looked away, Ada immediately put the rock cake in the pocket of her school robe, pretending that she had finished eating, she thought silently in her heart: Hagrid's cooking skills are as rough as his appearance, and the taste is also In the same vein as Muggle chefs.

"That hound is Fang. It's the same as Hagrid, but it's more aggressive." Fred said

As soon as Hagrid let go of the hound named Yaya, he immediately jumped to Ida's side, shaking his head and tail at her.

"Stand back! Fangya, back off!" Hagrid yelled at Fangya who was staying beside Ida, "I'm sorry, Ida, don't be afraid, Fangya is very docile, he won't bite."

"It's okay, Hagrid, I like Fangs very much." Ada said with a smile, she reached out and touched Fangs, she really liked dogs.

"Ah, you finished eating, how is it? How does it taste?" Hagrid asked excitedly, and he saw that the rock cake in Ada's hand had disappeared without a trace.

After hearing this, Ada, who was laughing and stroking the dog's head, suddenly didn't want to lick the dog anymore. These words hit her like a bolt from the blue.Ada reluctantly said: "The taste is...not bad, but a little...a little hard."

Ada tactfully gave her own evaluation.

"I like rock cakes with a crisper texture, so that it tastes better." Hagrid didn't seem to understand Ida's words, "As long as you like it, I'll pack some for you when you leave, and you can take it home Share it with your roommates."

I'm afraid they think I'm plotting money and murder.Ada complained silently in her heart, she now wanted to know who gave Hagrid such great courage, Fish Liang probably had enough of it.

Ada's eyes didn't dare to look at the other food in the wooden house at all, for fear that Hagrid would enthusiastically say "Do you want to try it" to her again.This is the scariest sentence she has heard this year.

Fred and George complained about Snape mercilessly at Hagrid, and Hagrid also criticized Snape's inhumane behavior.

"Snape is like that. No one liked him when he was in school. After he taught, he hardly liked any students." Hagrid comforted Ida, his black beetle-like eyes shone with sincerity, "maybe next year With a new life, he will forget about you."

Ada also hoped that Hagrid's words would come true. For the first time, she realized that "a new generation replaces an old one" is a blessing.

"Hagrid, can you tell me about the Forbidden Forest?" The twins finally bared their fangs, showing their true colors.

Simple Hagrid, still ignorant of this, said, "There are a lot of amazing creatures in the Forbidden Forest..."

"We love magical creatures!" The twins' lie told the truth without even typing a draft.

"Really?" Hagrid looked excited. "Your brother Charlie also likes Fantastic Beasts. I like him very much. He always has a way with animals!"

"We were influenced by Charlie!" Fred said excitedly.

"The dragon thing is so awesome!" George stood up, shaking his robe to imitate the dragon flying.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, Ada feels that George is now more like an old hen looking for food.After the simple Hagrid heard that the twin brothers loved fire dragons, he couldn't help himself even more. He began to introduce the Forbidden Forest to the twins, and the content was very detailed.

Ada looked at the three people who were having a heated conversation, she seemed like an outsider now, no, at least she still had teeth.

"Yaya! Sit! Sit!" Ada began to train Yaya, but the Neapolitan mastiff didn't seem to be in the right mind. "Sit! Yaya! Sit down!"

She pulled a piece of house-elf pastry from her pocket, giving Fang a little boost with food.With food as a temptation, Ada's order finally took effect, and Fangya sat obediently in front of Ada with a wrinkled face, drooling all over the floor.

"Well done, good boy." Ada broke off a small piece of pastry and fed it to Yaya.Even if it was just a small piece of pastry, Fang Ya would gobble it up, Hagrid's cooking skills are evident... Fang Ya, you are suffering...

"Yaya! Get lost!" Ada started the next training program, and the three people discussing the Forbidden Forest finally had a disagreement.

"No, you can't go, the Forbidden Forest is full of dangers for you." Hagrid refused repeatedly with his hands the size of a trash can lid, "That's not acceptable."

"With you here, how can there be any danger?" Fred persuaded.

"We promise to listen to you and never make trouble!" George immediately began to swear.

"That's not okay, every creature in the Forbidden Forest can cause danger to your life!" Hagrid shook his head and said, he couldn't agree to such a thing.

"But with you here, we just want to take a look at the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest." The twins retreated, so how could they simply think that Hagrid would take them to the Forbidden Forest?It's good to be able to walk around the periphery of the Forbidden Forest, and talk about it later in the Forbidden Forest, don't be in a hurry.

"No, Fred, George, Dumbledore won't agree." Hagrid's position was still very firm, "We have to wait until you are older, when you grow up."

"Okay, Hagrid is also thinking about your safety, so don't embarrass him anymore." Ada, who couldn't stand it anymore, came forward and said.

The twin brothers had to give up, and the three of them sat for a while, chatting with Hagrid about the magical creatures he raised.Only when night fell did the three of Ada leave Hagrid's cabin.

"When we get ready, we can explore the Forbidden Forest!" Fred said excitedly on the way back to the castle.

"Didn't Hagrid not take you there? After all, he is a faculty member of the school, so he won't take you there." Ada's thoughts were not in the Forbidden Forest at all, because before leaving, Hegersey Gave her a small bag of rock cakes.

"We didn't think he would agree." George continued with an inscrutable look on his face, "It's just that no one understands the Forbidden Forest better than Hagrid!"

"Find out first-hand information from him." Fred said, "This will be more conducive to our Forbidden Forest exploration plan."

"Won't your two consciences ache?" Ada said while shaking the bag of rock cakes.She also didn't expect that the twins could be so "inappropriate" to trick Hagrid in order to go to the Forbidden Forest.

"No, not at all." The twins who were no longer human said gloatingly. "We think it's your teeth that really hurt!"

Glancing at the rock cake in her hand, Ada also felt a dull pain in her teeth.This is not a pastry, this is a meteor hammer tied to a rope!
