The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 363 The Last Weakness
It was supposed to be in the dead of night, but there were two night owls moving by the fountain pool, looking at the empty spherical wine glasses in their hands, they looked very impatient drunkards.

Laura's attitude has been very obvious. She is waiting for Ada to express her thoughts so that she can give guidance to her predecessors in life.

In fact, Ada has nothing to hesitate. Aside from Laura's somewhat embarrassing identity, she is still Ada's subordinate.It's really not good for the boss to embarrass his subordinates like this on his first day in office.

Ada is not Grindelwald, who has a charming charm; Ada is not Voldemort, who likes to control Death Eaters with terror and intimidation.And some things cannot be hidden, as long as people who pay attention to Hogwarts will find the clues.

"Can I trust you?" Ada asked, useless nonsense.

Ada looked at Laura, who had a drunken, alluring blush on her face.This woman was supposed to be beautiful and attractive, but the scar from her forehead to the corner of her mouth spoiled a beautiful face.

The corners of the mouth moved by the smile made the scar even more ferocious and ugly.

"Yes, and I can't." Laura's words were contradictory, self-contradictory.She filled the wine glass again, and drank it all in one gulp. Wine, it's not how she drinks it, she seems to really want to get herself drunk.

"A lot of times, I feel like I'm a lunatic, and I can't trust myself." Laura continued, "But I have an inexplicable self-confidence. This kind of self-confidence makes me feel that you can trust me."

Ada took the bottle and poured some for herself, and some for Laura.While pouring the wine, he said: "You may be really drunk, and you are starting to talk drunk."

"I've been drunk for years and never got sober."

Drunk talk or crazy talk?Maybe that's why Lola Fournier slashed her own cheek after the death of Louis Rozier.

Ada didn't continue to go around in circles, she said what she had been hiding since the summer vacation.In fact, it can't be said to be a worry, but a worry. Since she entered Hogwarts, except for the second year, the rest of the year has been uneven.

In the first grade, Foley wanted to find something in the school and wanted Voldemort to make a comeback; in the third grade, Voldemort was attached to the back of Quirrell's head, and came to the school in person, trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone and use the power of the Sorcerer's Stone to make a comeback; in the fourth grade I caught up with Slytherin's secret room again, and finally fell on Voldemort, 16-year-old Voldemort; Sirius, who escaped from prison in the fifth grade, and Peter, who had been hiding for 12 years, took a detour to find out that this matter is still related to Voldemort .

In the last five years at Hogwarts, four of them have had something to do with Voldemort.For the rest of the year, Dumbledore invited Cecil to teach, also to find out what Foley was looking for.

All these piles and pieces are inextricably linked with Voldemort. It seems that Voldemort, who has caused countless bloody and killings, is really coming back.He should be hiding somewhere now, accumulating strength in secret, ready to set off the darkness again.

The storm is coming, the calm will be broken, and darkness will fall on this land again, and those who don't like the darkness will choose to rise up and resist.Once war starts, it means death.

Although death is inevitable, it is still unacceptable for this kind of thing to happen to friends and relatives. Ada does not want to see such a scene.However, it is not Ada's character to stay out of it, hide in France and live alone in France, and hide in Rose Manor to indulge in luxury.

That's why Ada was confused and hesitated for a moment.What Ada is afraid of is not Voldemort, not war, nor her own death. She is afraid of losing, and she is also worried about losing.

A lot of things, once you have, you don't want to let go.

As she talked, without Laura's persuasion or any suggestions, Ada figured it out by herself. She was afraid of wolves and tigers only because she thought too much.

The way I am now, I don't look like myself. People who want to stand at the top shouldn't look like this.Do it with your heart and do your best, no matter what the world turns out to be in the end, I just have a clear conscience.

Ada also followed Laura's example and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, but choked a little because she drank too quickly.Ada coughed a few times, and laughed at herself, "It's really embarrassing..."

I don't know if Ada is talking about the embarrassment of her hesitation, or the embarrassment of choking on alcohol, or maybe a combination of both.

"I have been paying attention to you all the time, and you have done a good job." Laura said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Nothing in this world is perfect. It is precisely because of imperfections and regrets, The world will become more colorful."

Laura looked at the brick-red building and said sadly: "Although Vida was very painful because of Louis' death, and even felt that everything was her fault. However, if she hadn't adopted Louis, Louis might not have met him. Jessica, there will not be a girl named Esmeralda born into this world."

"Without you, what would Vader be like without you?" Laura continued, "Just do it and leave the rest to God. Regret and hesitation are the most useless things in this world."

The summer night in Versailles was quiet, only the sound of two women clinking glasses in the garden, and a large bottle of cognac was quickly consumed.

Shaking the empty wine bottle, there was no sound at all.Unwillingly, Ada put her eyes close to the mouth of the bottle, and looked in along the mouth of the bottle. As expected, there was no drop of the amber clear liquid.

"It's gone, it's gone..." Holding the wine bottle, Ada muttered, "It's all your fault, why are you drinking when you say you're fine!"

"He looks so smart, why would he do something stupid?" Laura said with a smile, "It's obviously a glass bottle, so you can tell at a glance whether there is any wine in the bottle. What are you looking for!"

I, Esmeralda Drizzt, the most intelligent person in Hogwarts, how dare someone call me stupid?Ada, who was very dissatisfied, immediately stared at Laura fiercely, as if she regarded herself as a basilisk in the secret room, I will stare at you to death!

"Nonsense!" Ada said loudly, "What if this broken bottle deceives me, how can I rest assured if I don't see it with my own eyes!"

Reasoning with drunk people usually doesn't make sense, so Laura gave up the idea of ​​persuading Ada.Instead, watch Ada carefully to prevent her from losing her balance and falling.

It would be terrible if this fell down, and the headlines tomorrow morning should be: A young girl accidentally fell into the pool and drowned because of drunkenness. Is this a distortion of morality, or a loss of human nature...

Ada, who was holding the bottle, was still muttering, saying "why is there no more" or "this is not magic at all" and other weird words.

Let alone Laura Fournier, no one has ever seen Ada like this.

It's unbelievable to say that Ada has always been very wary, but she got herself drunk in front of Laura. I have to say that it is somewhat strange behavior.

Maybe it's because Lola is really attractive, maybe it's Rose Manor, Vader is here, who knows!The thoughts of a drunk person are somewhat incomprehensible, full of whimsical ideas.

Looking at Ada in front of her, Laura was a little dazed. Ada's eyebrows and eyes were similar to Louis's, and there was also a part of Jessica's shadow, which was completely based on the advantages of her parents.

Facing the weird and cute Ada, Laura finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she did it!

Laura suddenly reached out to Ada, gently pinched Ada's cheek, and sighed with a smile: "You are obviously a stupid kid, why does he look so cute!"

The moonlight was bright, reflecting on the two of them, covering Laura and Ada with a layer of transparent tulle.The scar that was affected by the smile did not feel hideous and ugly at this moment.

Laura pinched Ada's cheek heartily, feeling the tenderness and tenderness from her fingertips, feeling the trust Ada gave her.

Maybe Laura will never know that when she stretched out her hand to Ada, Ada avoided it subconsciously.The reason Laura didn't notice it was because Ada forcibly stopped her dodging movements, making herself look like she was shaking because of drunkenness.

Laura would never know in her life that she was so close to death the moment she reached out.
