The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 298 The Twins' Decision
Batch after batch of students passed the inspection outside the castle and went to Hogsmeade under the escort of the professors.Harry Potter stood at the gate of the castle and looked at it affectionately, full of envy in his heart.

"Hey, Harry, are you abandoned by Ron and Hermione!" Ada suddenly jumped behind Harry and said with a smile.

Heartbroken, old iron!

"No, of course not!" Harry's retort subconsciously increased the volume, "I'm just looking at the scenery... yes, looking at the scenery!"

We all know that people who are not good at lying will deliberately emphasize that they are not lying, and when others refute him, he will subconsciously refute loudly.Harry stepped on two thunderbolts at once, and everyone could tell that he was lying.

Ada, who was standing behind Harry, followed Harry's gaze, and what she saw was Harry's full desire for Hogsmeade.Ada embraced Harry's shoulder without hesitation, and she said solemnly: "Actually, Hogsmeade is not as interesting as you imagined."

"Of course you've been there so many times, but I haven't even been there once." Harry said in a muffled voice.Having lived in the Muggle world for 11 years, Harry is eager to know everything about the wizarding world. He wants to visit Hogsmeade with Ron and Hermione.

The most feared thing in everything is comparison, and only with comparison can there be harm.Everyone around him could go to Hogsmeade, only Harry stayed in the school alone, so he was naturally yearning for the small village outside the school.

The students outside surrounded each other, waiting for the professor's inspection. From the perspective of Ada and Harry, although they could only see the backs of the students, it was not difficult to guess that they must be smiling.The conversations of the students will occasionally float in, talking about where they are going to sit next.

Harry lowered his head, unwilling to look at the students outside.If possible, Harry would rather line up in the howling wind than stay alone in a warm castle.

"I should go back, I still have a lot of homework to do." Harry made an excuse, he didn't want to stay here and suffer, he thought he would suffer even more when the twins came over.

What are you afraid of, why are you coming, Harry, who was walking back, just ran into the twins who were going downstairs.Facing the twins who greeted warmly, Harry muttered something vaguely, and ran away like flying, leaving Fred and George confused.

The twins were a little confused. Harry's behavior just now was really confusing. Is there something wrong with him?How the hell is Harry running faster than a rabbit!
Fred asked with a puzzled face, "What's wrong with Harry? Did you do something shameful to him?"

"I didn't expect that you, with big eyebrows and big eyes, are just as bad at learning as Ced." George said seriously, "Besides, you have gone too far than Ced, and Harry is one year younger than Cho Zhang. !"

Ada clenched her fists and gestured in front of the twins. She explained: "Harry is just a little frustrated because he can't go to Hogsmeade. As a big sister, I comforted him, that's all."

While speaking, Ada walked towards the students queuing up outside the castle, and the twins behind her hurriedly followed. The three of them stood at the end of the line together, waiting for Filch's inspection.

"Comfort?" Fred was full of doubts about Ada's words, "Why do I not believe so, I think it's almost the same."

George thought so deeply, and he said to his twin brother: "Fred, since the big sister is so unreliable, our two big brothers need to be more reliable. I think we should give Harry some help."

"You know, George, you and I want to go together." Fred very much agreed with George's proposal, "Harry will be very grateful for our act of giving help."

Ada had already guessed what the twins were going to do, and she warned: "You two better not mess around, Black might be hiding near the school, which is not a good omen for Harry."

"You don't believe Trelawney's bad story, do you?" the twins said together. "You used to call her the 'glowing old liar'!"

Logically speaking, with the emergence of such idealistic things as magic, things such as prophecy and fortune-telling should also have a market, but there are very few people who can make accurate predictions.

As for dear Professor Trelawney, the students regarded her as the biggest bastard at Hogwarts.

Some students take the prophecy class because they are really interested in this occult knowledge, and some students because the exams of this course are easy to pass.

As long as you predict on the test paper that you are ill-fated and will encounter all kinds of misfortunes in the next month, your grade will get an "E" evaluation.

Ada herself didn't believe in prophecy at the beginning. Although she didn't have a second grade until she shouted "My fate is up to me", she has always disliked these prophets and thought they were all liars.

However, as she read more and more books and learned more about the magic world, Ada also gained a new understanding of the mysterious prophecy.

For example, in the first grade, Ada and the others met the centaur Firenze in the Forbidden Forest.At that time, the centaur said a lot of strange things, and now that I think about it, those strange things he said are all confirmed by Fuli's behavior afterwards.

Although it feels a lot like those scammers active in the square, there are indications that the prophecy is real.It's just because there are too many two knives bluffing and deceiving, it makes this mysterious and infinite magic look more like a deception.

"I still think that Trelawney appeared in the school because Dumbledore couldn't find a more suitable candidate." Ada said, "But we can't bet on Harry, we don't have that qualification."

Ada has always been full of doubts about Black's escape. If he really came after Harry, why did he choose this time?When Harry didn't go to school, when Harry lived at the Dursleys' house, wouldn't it be more convenient to do it at that time?No matter how bad it is, Harry's first year of school is more suitable than now. Could it be that the dark Azkaban made Black lose the concept of time?

The twins were silent for a long time, until the three passed the inspection and walked on the path leading to Hogsmeade, George said, "We can let Harry choose. Don't forget, he has an invisibility cloak."

Although Ada's words sounded so reasonable, the twins still felt that what the professors did was unfair to Harry.Harry had been kept in the dark about Black, as he had been with the Philosopher's Stone.Harry had no idea of ​​his relationship with Black.

Harry had no idea he was in danger now, and he might have gone to Hogsmeade without permission, and the existence of the Invisibility Cloak provided this opportunity.

"Harry's mind is full of longing for Hogsmeade now. He doesn't know the danger outside, and he may run around wearing the cloak of invisibility alone." George continued, "Instead of letting him run around like this, it's better Give him some correct help, at least it's not that dangerous."

Ada thought about it, and based on what she knew about Harry, it was really possible for Harry to do such a thing.Running around without thinking will indeed put Harry in a more dangerous situation, but...

"It's not about the mother-in-law, that's the deal. We're just giving Harry an option, and it's up to him how to choose." Fred made a decision on the matter with a big wave of his hand.

"This is a matter between men and men, so don't get involved!" Fred continued.

Fred's words seemed a bit machismo, and he was easily punched.But in fact, Fred was reminding Ida that Harry had grown up day by day, he was no longer the little brother who just came to school, he was 13 years old this year.

Children who have entered adolescence will have a lot of their own thoughts, and blindly concealing and overprotecting will hurt Harry's self-esteem. It is not surprising that children of this age do any rebellious things.

It's better not to block, at least things can still happen within the scope of control. If Harry really sneaked to Hogsmeade behind everyone's back, it would be too late to cry.

Ada nodded, approving the twins' seemingly reckless behavior, perhaps the Marauder's Map is more useful to Harry now.What does "a man-to-man thing" mean, though?
Ada glanced contemptuously at the fluff on the twins' chins, and said disdainfully, "The hairs haven't even grown yet, you're still a man, bah!"
