The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 336 No chance of "Starbucks" in this life 2
The amount of work involved in making the Marauder's Map was huge, and Ada and the twins, who were Party A, put a lot of demands on themselves, who were also Party B, which made the already large amount of work even bigger.

"Programmer" Ada doesn't want to be bald early in life, so she doesn't want to fix bugs, and she is stubbornly unwilling to admit that the map is wrong.

The "testers" Fred and George carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and difficulties, and wanted to take Ada to see if there was any error on the map.

Just as the twins carried Ada out of the room, they were stopped by a cat and a dog at the entrance.

These cats and dogs were Crookshanks and Garen. They were supposed to be locked in the girls' dormitory and not allowed to go out, but they appeared in the Twilight Cabin, their bodies still dirty.

The off-white Garen had turned into black. Not only was his body covered in mud, but his round eyes were also injured, as if he had been scratched by a cat's paw.

Crookshanks' body was also dusty, but it wasn't injured, it just got some blood stains from nowhere.

Fred and George stopped still suddenly, and Ada broke free from their control, and then she saw the cat and dog combination blocking the way.

Looking at Garen who seemed to have just danced the phoenix dance for nine days at the head of the village, Ada's eyes were full of disgust. She no longer cared how Garen escaped from the dormitory.

Garen kept barking at his master Ada, and his barking sounded a little anxious.Garen kept circling around Ada, rubbing his head against Ada's calf, as if he wanted his master to follow him.

Crookshanks also made a meowing sound, looking back at Ada and the three of them every two steps.After seeing that the three of Ada hadn't moved, Crookshanks' cry became more and more sharp.

"Get out of the way, good dogs don't get in the way." Ada kicked Garon lightly to prevent the dark Garen from dangling at his feet, turned around and walked back into the hut.

But Gallon didn't give up, it chased Ida into the house, leaving a footprint.Crookshanks anxiously passed the twins and followed into the house.

In the hut, Garen kept coming to Ada's side, and whenever it came close, it was Ada's feet that greeted it.After repeating this several times, Garen, helpless, pounced on Ada's feet, bit the corner of Ada's robe, and dragged Ada out of the door.

"Why don't you follow along?" George persuaded.

"Yeah, looking at the anxious looks of the two of them, it seems that something big has really happened." Fred also persuaded.

Seeing the anxious and pitiful looks of Garen and Crookshanks, the twins couldn't bear it, and the two brothers thought of the hippogriff Buckbeak again.

The trial of the Judgment Committee should be coming to an end by now!

Ada was indifferent, and she became more and more dissatisfied with Garen's performance.Garen didn't give up, no matter whether Ada slapped it with his hand or kicked it with his feet, Garen bit the corner of his robe and refused to let go.

People are not grass and trees, how can one be ruthless, Ada finally softened her heart, she said: "Relax, I will go with you."

Hearing this, Garen immediately let go of Ida, and after barking twice excitedly, he and Crookshanks led the way out of the hut.The twins followed curiously, Ada sighed helplessly, and secretly made a decision in her heart.

After leaving the secret passage, a cat and a dog anxiously led the way, turning around every few steps to see if the Twolegs behind them were following.The twins followed closely, and kept turning their heads to urge Ada, who was full of worries, to walk a few steps faster.

Led by a cat and a dog, Ada and the twins walked to the Forbidden Forest and kept going deeper along the forest path.

Sunlight could not penetrate the layers of leaves, which made the Forbidden Forest very dark during the day. Ida and the twins followed Crookshanks around, and deviated from the path after a while.

Walking through the Forbidden Forest, there is no sound other than the snapping of branches and the rustling of leaves.The trees were getting denser and the sunlight was getting weaker and weaker. Ada and the twins raised their wands and used the light from the tip of the wand to discern the path under their feet.

The Forbidden Forest seemed to be boundless, and the robes of the three of them were covered with dust, and some places were cut open by low branches and thorny vines.There were fallen dead trees and roots and stumps everywhere, and they had lost their way long ago.

After walking for about an hour, Garen and Crookshanks finally stopped. They climbed up a steep slope and were standing on the slope anxiously waiting for Ada and the others to climb up.

The twins lost their initial excitement, and now Fred and George wanted to grab Garen and beat him up.

Ada's face became even more gloomy. She had already guessed the destination of the trip. Even in the process of climbing, her wand was still tightly held in her hand.

When the three climbed up to the top of the slope, they found that the visibility at the top of the slope was much higher than that at the bottom.Garen and Crookshanks stood in front of a dense branch and leaf. If you looked carefully, you would find a hidden hole behind the dense branch and leaf.

The cat and dog got into the narrow hole first, and made a whining sound to urge Ada and the three outside the hole.The twins regained their wands and followed in the old formation of three.

The height of the entrance of the cave was very low, and the three of them could only crawl forward in a row. Fortunately, the brightness inside the cave was not too dark, and the brightness of the fluorescent spell allowed them to see each other clearly.

After walking dozens of steps, the cave became much wider, and at least three of them could straighten their backs.There were unfinished food on the ground, some of which looked familiar, some from the Hogwarts kitchen, some from Ada.

Seeing the wrapping paper printed in French on the ground, Ada finally understood why her snacks ran out so quickly. There was a beige dog guarding against theft. How can it be unhappy if the snacks are gone?
A dark figure curled up in the corner of the pit, his figure was very thin, the original color of the clothes on his body could no longer be seen, and the blood stain on the shoulder was very eye-catching.

"Sirius Black!" said the twins at the same time.

They had doubts on the way, but they were still surprised when Black actually appeared in front of them.

Black curled up motionless on the ground, Crookshanks circled around him anxiously, Garen kept licking his face with his tongue, as if he wanted to wake up Mr. Fugitive who was "sleeping".

The twins aimed their wands at Black on the ground, and the Luminescent Charm was just bright enough for people to see his face clearly.

Blake's face looks haggard, 12 years of prison life, and more than half a year of life as a fugitive made him no longer handsome when he was young. His black hair was messy and dirty, and his body smelled bad.

"What should we do?" Fred lost his mind, "Should we take him back?"

"Or kill him directly?" George's voice trembled slightly, and his right hand kept adjusting the posture of holding the wand.

After George said this, the twins were shocked at the same time.Although the "sin" committed by Black is beyond redemption, the two of them did not hesitate to say "kill him". When did it become like this?

Crookshanks, who had been circling around Black, stopped. It arched its back and hissed menacingly, and stared at the three of Ada with its round and big eyes.

In the dark cave, Crookshanks' eyes were frighteningly bright.

Ada also pointed her wand at Black, she hesitated in her heart, to kill or not to kill?

Black, who was curled up on the ground, suddenly twitched, and then he slowly opened his eyes.Black's gray eyes were beautiful, but there was no color in them, they were empty.

"Lily," Black said in a weak, slurred voice, "Lily, James, I'm sorry..."
