The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 29 You won't die if you don't do it
After returning to the dormitory at night, Angelina who had just laid down heard a loud bang. Angelina followed the sound and found that it was Ada who threw a small bag on the bedside table.

"What's that?" Alia was also startled by the voice, and she asked Ada curiously.

"You didn't bring the stone back to the dormitory, did you?" Angelina asked.

"What do I do when I have nothing to do when I come back with bagged stones." Ada was also a little speechless. "This is the pastry that Hagrid asked me to bring back. He asked me to share it with you."

Angelina and Alia shook their heads again and again, not because they had heard of the prestige of rock cakes, but because any normal person would not be interested in food that makes such a "loud noise".

What?You say stick?How could it be food? It was clearly a weapon!
"Come on, come have a taste, don't disappoint Hagrid's good intentions!" Ada took out a rock cake from the bag, and said to the two.

Seeing the true face of the pastry Lushan, the two shook their heads even more resolutely, "Ada, there is no need to try it, we appreciate this kindness."

Looking at Angelina and Alia, who are like twins in tacit understanding, Ada also put down the "brick" in her hand.The hardest food Ada has seen before is unthawed frozen pears, but in front of rock cakes, the hardness of frozen pears is not as good as it seems.

Throughout November, the professors turned the castle upside down, not to mention the murderer, the professors didn't even find a hair of the murderer.Nothing was found except for some prohibited items that Filch found in the private stash of some students.

The tense spirits of the students were completely relaxed, and Hogwarts resumed its usual laughter.

The Gryffindor lounge was extremely lively today. There were a lot of cakes and pots of pumpkin juice on the coffee table, and the seniors even set off the Fierce Fireworks.

The students celebrated today's victory in the common room. In today's official Quidditch match, the team defeated Hufflepuff under the leadership of Charlie.

Fred and George were eating cakes with big mouthfuls, but these delicious cakes could not calm the restless hearts of the twins.

"Tonight, we decided to go on a night tour, do you want to go together?" The twins sent out a team invitation again.

"Tonight?" Ada hesitated, "Aren't you afraid of being caught?"

"The professors don't search the castle much anymore, as long as we are more careful." George swallowed the cake and explained to Ada.

Fred followed suit and said, "What we need to pay attention to is the 'old man', and his cat."

Ever since Hagrid called Filch an "old man", the twins started referring to Filch by that title as well.

"You two are really committing crimes!" Ada also picked out a piece of cake, "I can still imagine the scene where Professor McGonagall brought you back from Filch."

"Wouldn't it be more exciting!" Fred said.

"An ordinary life is meaningless!" George said with a straight face, "Ada, do you want to waste your time?"

My years have not been wasted, I have been traveling in the sea of ​​books.Ada thought so in her heart, but she said: "Then why is it not a waste of time?"

"You're wasting your time doing nothing at Hogwarts!" said George.

"When you are old and your children ask you about Hogwarts secrets, but you can't answer anything, don't you feel ashamed?" Fred waved his hands, letting Ada imagine future.

Well, you brothers are old Paul Korchagin!Ada had seen enough children in the orphanage, she wanted to be beautiful alone!
Ada rolled her eyes, turned around and walked back to the dormitory without saying anything to Fred Korchagin and George Korchagin.

"At 11:30, we'll be waiting for you in the common room." The twins said to Ada's leaving back.

Ada, who was lying on the bed, had been suffering from insomnia for a long time. Recently, because of the fear of the attack, she hadn't wandered around the castle late at night for a long time. She was full of nostalgia for this "Gryffindor behavior".

Just do what you want, Ada got up and changed into her night travel equipment, and quietly left the dormitory.

Ada came down the stairs of the girls' dormitory just in time to see Fred and George talking quietly in the common room.

"I guess Ida's coming, a Sickle!" said Fred. "How?"

"It just so happens that I also think that Ada will definitely go, and it's also a silver Sickle." George was not fooled by this at all.

Ada came down from the stairs, and she said to the two brothers: "Ahem... I don't want to go out at night, I'm just worried that you will be discovered, so I came here to watch you..."

"Okay, we got it." Fred smiled and looked at Ada who was stubborn.

"Let's set off to find the secrets of Hogwarts under the darkness!" George walked out first.

Breathing the air in the corridor at night is actually refreshing.

"Ada, we found a secret passage in the first week!" George said to Ada behind him.

Fred also patted his chest and boasted: "The secret passage behind Gregory the sycophant can lead to the outside of the school, we are professionals!"

Under the cover of the night, the three of them were getting farther and farther away from the Gryffindor tower. The twins wanted to explore another secret passage, and Ada wanted to find the "safe house" to complete the task by the way.

Along the way, the three of them didn't meet a single professor.Fred and George took Ida to a mirror on the fifth floor, where they thought there might be a secret passage.

"Are you sure that there really is a... er... secret passage here?" Ada said, looking at the twins, who were working their hands in front of the big mirror.

"Not particularly sure, but this mirror is very suspect."

"This is our intuition, not only you girls have intuition!"

Ada didn't feel like the twins, she thought the mirror looked ordinary and nothing suspicious.

【Ding!The host has found a secret passage to Hogwarts, and the completion of the night tour task is extra +1. If the correct entry method can be found, the completion of the night tour task will be rewarded again. 】

When I left the tower just now, the progress completion degree of [Night Tour Mission] has already become 6, which will become 7 again.Seeing that the degree of completion had increased by two points, Ada took out her wand and decided to increase it by a little more.

Instead of groping in the mirror, Ada poked at the mirror with her wand, hoping to find the entrance through the flow of magic power.It's just that her actions, like the twins', are wasting effort.

Just when the three of them were helpless around the big mirror, a meow came over.

Meow!
The three turned their heads at the same time, and saw a thin cat appearing in front of the three of them. This cat was Yaya's blind date, Mrs. Loris.

Mrs. Loris stared at the three of Ada with her big cat eyes, and yelped again like a warning: Meow!It seemed to be telling the three of them, raise your hands!Don't move!

"Run!" Ada fled the scene the first time she saw Mrs. Loris, followed by Fred and George.

The three of them ran wildly away from the fifth floor, and Mrs. Loris followed them all the way, meowing constantly, calling for its owner, Filch.

After a while, Ida heard Filch's "slap, slap" footsteps.

"Run separately!" Ada turned left when she reached the intersection on the fourth floor, and Fred and George chose to go downstairs at the same time.

Ada was almost pissed off by the twins who ran away together. She thought in her heart: Can't you two run separately?If one turns right and the other goes downstairs, do they have to run together?
Ada, who ran away alone, was finally caught up by Mrs. Loris, who was in a "confrontation" with Mrs. Loris.

Ada took out the rock cake in her pocket, which she put in her pocket as a weapon when she left the dormitory.

She said seductively: "Mrs. Loris, this is a rare delicacy in this world!" Ada shook the rock cake in her hand, and then threw it to Mrs. Loris.

The rock cake hit the ground with a sound, and Gulu came to Mrs. Loris.But Mrs. Loris was not tempted by the rock cake in front of it at all, she still stared at Ada.

It seems that the rock skin cake that cats won't eat and dogs won't taste has no effect other than turning heads.Ada had to turn around and run away again, with Mrs. Loris still chasing after her.

"There are many obstacles!" Ada cast an obstacle spell on Mrs. Loris, using this spell to block the catwalk that Mrs. Loris was chasing.

The impeded Mrs. Loris slowed down, and Ada kept casting impediment spells on the cat behind her, which made her finally get rid of Filch's pet.

Ada caressed her chest, calming her heartbeat, which made her heart beat fast after this run.Ada thought: It seems that I should exercise my physical strength, but it seems that my time is not enough.

Ada escaped the chase, but the twins were not so lucky, they were caught by Filch.

"Hehe, I finally caught you two." Filch grabbed the back collar of the twin brother's robes with one hand, "I will definitely make you two look good this time!"

Filch's expression was excited now, even the creases of his face were shining.

The twin brothers who were "brought to justice" said: "Filch, let us hear how you plan to punish us? Wipe the trophy display room, or clean your smelly mop?"

"I'm going to hang you up and beat you with a whip!" Filch said viciously, "I can't even disembowel you from my hatred for you!"

"Unfortunately, the headmaster abolished these punishments a long time ago. You can't do anything, poor Filch!" The twins were not frightened by the horrific punishment Filch said, and they didn't deal with Filch once or twice. up.

"Sooner or later, I will definitely give you two a good look!" Filch gritted his back molars vigorously, and he grabbed the back collar of the Weasley brothers' school robes and walked towards his office.

Fred and George, who were grabbed by the back of the neck by "fate", could only follow Filch away, leaving only Ada hiding behind the statue in this empty corridor.
