The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 35 The Sage Time of the Twins

1989 has just passed, and Ada ushered in 1990 amidst the blizzard.

This winter, Ada no longer has to go out to work in the wind and snow, but can do what she loves in the warm room, enjoying the food provided by the house elf, just like a rich landlord.

Reading and studying when busy, chatting and playing cards when free, Ada has not passed such a comfortable life for a long time.

As the start date approached, students began to return to school one after another. They shared interesting stories about the holiday with the people around them. Couples who hadn't seen each other during the holiday talked to each other like no one else, and the whole Hogwarts was full of joy. With a joyful atmosphere.

The four Weasley brothers came back together, with Charlie leading the way, followed by Percy and the twins.The short steps from the entrance of the lounge to the armchair made the Weasley brothers look a bit like a big boss.

Seeing the four brothers walking with wind, Ada wondered whether she would give each of the Weasley brothers a newsboy hat for Christmas next year.

But it was agreed in advance that if they were beaten, it would have nothing to do with her.

Charlie and Percy greeted Ada and left. The twin brothers sat directly opposite her, looking at Ada with a smile.

"It's a pity you didn't come back with us," said Fred.

"Mum made a lot of good food, and Percy got fat," said George, throwing up his hands exaggeratedly.

"Mom was very happy when she received your thank you letter, and let us take you back with me next Christmas."

The twins told Mrs. Weasley about Ada's situation during the holidays. They hoped that Mrs. Weasley could send Ada a Christmas gift, and that there could be one more gift, at least to make Ada's Christmas day more pleasant. The festival was not so miserable.

The kind Mrs. Weasley also agreed to their request, and she herself was full of affection for the girl she met at the station.This is Ada's own talent, she always makes a good first impression.

But Ada doesn't like socializing, and these good feelings will always be wasted by her. I have to say that this is a pity.

"That toffee was the best gift I've ever received," Ada said.In fact, she likes these gifts very much, especially Mrs. Weasley's toffee and Professor McGonagall's notes.

"By the way, I found the secret passage behind the mirror." Ada lowered her voice and reported her vacation results to the twins, expecting to see the twins excited.

"Well, well done," said Fred.

His reaction was very flat, which was quite different from what Ida expected, which made Ada feel happy in vain.

So, "love" will disappear, right?
George tried to soothe Ida's wounded heart with a rainbow fart, saying: "You are the smartest witch!"

"Why don't you seem excited at all?" The reaction of the twins was really beyond Ada's expectations. "Didn't you always miss this tunnel before?"

"Tonight, let's go and have a look together." Fred said perfunctorily.

"You don't have to worry about being discovered this time, it's absolutely safe." George, who was speaking, looked a little unpredictable.

"That's what you said last time, and then?" Ada felt that her fragile little heart was hurt, so she wanted to hit George's inexplicable confidence.

"We got caught by dear Filch," the twins said together, "but not this time, because we have this."

George took out an old parchment from his pocket, yes, it was the big treasure stolen from Filch's office.

Ada glanced at the parchment suspiciously, not knowing what George was doing with this crap again, but she soon figured it out.She asked, "So, you two found a use for this 'big baby'?"

"That's right."

"correct answer."

But the twins didn't show its magical effect in the lounge. They took Ada out of the common room and came to an empty corner.

The three stood in the corner, staring at the corridor, preventing anyone from peeking at their "secret".

"Now I hope it can be worthy of your mysterious look just now." Ada said, leaning against the wall.

She suffered so much for that broken mirror, if the twins don't give her an explanation today, they won't want to copy homework anymore!
"Please keep your eyes open, Ms. Drizzt, look carefully, don't blink, this will be the secret to our success." Fred put the parchment in Ada's hand while talking to Ada superior.

"Are you ready? Next is the moment to witness the miracle."

Holding the parchment, Ada raised her eyebrows at the two brothers, expressing clearly: Come on, show it.

"Go ahead, George."

George pulled out his wand, tapped the parchment lightly, and said solemnly: "I solemnly swear that I will do no good."

In an instant, thin lines of ink spread like spider webs from where the point of George's wand touched, connecting and criss-crossing, extending to every corner of the parchment; Large font:

Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

gentlemen who help magical mischief makers
Introducing
Marauder's Map
Ada looked at the parchment in her hand in surprise. This piece of crap, which looked no different from trash, turned out to be so miraculous. All the details of Hogwarts castle and grounds were actually drawn on the paper.

If that's the case, it's not a treasure, but there are still many small black dots moving on the map, each of which is marked with a name in extremely small fonts, and Ada also found the names of the three of them on it , It's just that the three names are crowded together and it's not easy to distinguish.

It looked like the Marauder's Map had everyone in the school marked on it, and with that in place, there really was no need to worry about Filch anymore.Ada found Foley's name from the map, and he was staying in his office with Snape at the moment, not knowing what else they were discussing.

"There are many secret passages up here, most of which lead to Hogsmeade." George continued.

"There are seven routes in total. We can look at them one by one in the next few days." Fred also pointed out the seven routes with his fingers.

No wonder the twins were less interested in their discovery, the two of them already knew it, and now it was just their sage time.While looking at the map, Ada asked, "When did you figure out this map?"

"These days at home, of course," continued Fred, "we had a little accident..."

"My mother found out, and she taught us a lesson. Said that we are always doing bad things." George rubbed his ass after speaking.

"This gave us a lot of inspiration. After a few attempts, it became what you saw." The twins turned on the double surround mode again.

Fred pointed to the location of the library and the dormitory, and said to Ada: "Through the map, we found that you are not only in the dormitory but also in the library during the holidays..."

George followed up: "If it's the auditorium, you need to go out more. Sunshine and fresh air are also very important."

"You two really have plenty of free time at home, and you actually have time to study where I have been." Ada said, in fact, she was not dissatisfied with the behavior of the twins, because the two brothers cared about her.

Anyway, all that can be seen on the map is a small black dot and name, and nothing too private is involved.

If Ada and the twins switch roles, she should do the same. This Marauder's Map is equivalent to a real-time GPS positioning.

"At first we thought that the map hadn't been used for a long time, and it was a little out of order, because you always appeared in those places."

"Later we felt that the problem was not the map, but you." George said, "Without us, you would only appear in these few places."

Ada really didn't leave the castle much during this holiday, not because she really wanted to be a house girl, but because it was too cold outside.When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Ada really wants to go to the big tree by the lake and take a nap there, it should be very comfortable.

"It's amazing!" Ada did not have the ability to make such a map, so she admired the four seniors who made the map.

"Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs." George patted the title of the map and sighed, "What an amazing predecessor."

"George, we also want to become such noble people, they are our targets!" Fred said solemnly.

"When we tried the wrong secret order, they would share some prank ideas with us!" George said full of nostalgia.

The expression on Fred's face was very holy. He said, "I really want to know them. They are really good teachers and helpful friends on the road of life!"

The amazement of the three people, each with their own preferences, is completely different. Ada is amazed at the magical attainments of the four, and the twins are amazed at the ability of the four to play tricks.

Seeing that Ada had almost seen it, George tapped on the Marauder's Map again, and read: "The prank is over!" The map that was full of lines just now turned into blank paper again.

"This way, it won't be discovered, and no one will be interested in an old parchment." George said winkingly.

"Yes, you! Wasn't it you who stole it?" Contestant Ada, the barbarian, was entering the arena.

"We just communicated with those four seniors and discovered the difference of the parchment."
