The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 501 The Difference Between People
It was dawn, and Ada, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She changed her clothes lightly, and quietly walked out of the bedroom again.

The old house was very quiet at this moment, even the loudest Mrs. Black was still.Ada walked downstairs quietly, walking along the dark corridor to the foyer.

Near the foyer, Ada stopped suspiciously, took a few steps back, and looked at a framed picture on the corridor wall.In the frame Phineas Nigellus is stroking his goatee and looking at Ada's handbag.

This portrait does not belong to Phineas Nigellus, but the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts is standing here.That's why Ada stopped and took a few steps back.

"Dumbledore asked me to keep an eye on that kid named Harry Potter. I didn't expect that I would have some unexpected gains." Phineas Nigellus said, his voice was a little shrill, and it sounded unreasonable Hate.

"He wanted to run away, very noble act," said Phineas Nigellus lazily, with a sarcasm in his tone.

"Dumbledore won't let him go," Ada said softly.

Phineas Nigellus went on to say: "Of course, of course, so that poor pompous kid threw a tantrum. It's not good, he would have been hanged and tortured in our time... ...Don't look at me like that, if you lived in my time, you would be beaten even worse."

"So go and look at Harry, don't chatter with me here." Ada said, and was about to go out after speaking.

"Wait a minute, let's talk..." Phineas Nigellus said, "I tell you to wait, if you don't stop, I'll wake everyone up."

Ada stopped again, and retreated to the portrait helplessly.Why is it so difficult to leave without saying goodbye?It's been a success for so many years.

"Please hurry up if you want to talk about anything, I have something to do later." Ada said helplessly, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts is not just talking.

"Ah, where do I start!" Phineas Nigellus said, "Dumbledore went out yesterday morning, and he came back in a bad state. I've never seen him like this before."

Ada didn't say a word, she didn't know how to respond.Now that she has decided to do this, Ada will never regret it.

Phineas Nigellus was also secretly observing Ada's reaction, and he continued: "Until just now, I didn't know why Dumbledore was like that, but when I saw you planning to leave, I figured it out." .”

"I didn't expect you to care about Dumbledore." Ada looked at the portrait in surprise.

"What's so strange about it. It's a Hogwarts rule that successive headmasters should serve the current headmaster." Phineas Nigellus said, "I don't like Dumbledore, but he is still headmaster."

Hearing this, Ada smiled and said, "Maybe he won't be anymore soon. Then you won't have to see his crooked nose."

Phineas Nigellus in the portrait clapped his hands happily, and he said excitedly: "That's really great, I wish for it! But after thinking about it, I don't think it's so good. After all, obeying Dumbledore's orders is also I haven't lost anything."

Phineas Nigellus said this to Ada on purpose.

Anyone who can be the headmaster of Hogwarts is not a good person, and he is worthless. Even Armando Dippet, who was limped by Voldemort, is a dragon and a phoenix.

"People's ideas are different." Ada said, "It's better to walk your own way."

"Yes, yes, you are right in saying that." Phineas Nigellus said lazily, "Young people always think that they are absolutely right in everything, but they don't know that Dumbledore has eaten There's more sugar than any meal she's ever had..."

"That's because he is addicted to sweets, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't eat sweets for a day..."

Phineas Nigellus ripped off his silk gloves irritably, and said, "Don't interrupt me, you nasty brat! That's why I hate being a teacher!"

Ada raised her hands to signal that she was wrong and let him continue.To talk back, Ida was sure Phineas Nigellus would have woken the old Hag Black, and then the shouting through the house would have woken everyone.

"Where did I say?"

"That's why I hate being a teacher."

"Oh, that's why I hate being a teacher..." continued Phineas Nigellus. The way you see things changes. And with that the way you approach things changes. No matter what happens between you and Dumbledore... he values ​​you."

Phineas Nigellus looked at Ida as he fiddled with his glove.To his disappointment, he didn't see the slightest emotional change on Ida's face, and he seemed to be doing nothing.

The most unpopular headmaster Hogwarts has ever had sighed secretly.

"Thank you for your words, although it won't do anything." Ada said, "Professor Dumbledore has Professor Dumbledore's considerations, and I have mine. Professor Dumbledore may not be right, and neither may I." It’s wrong, you have to go and see.”

Phineas Nigellus said grimly: "Arrogant, pompous, obstinate, poor thing."

"Whatever you say," Ada said, "I hope next time we meet, we will be in the headmaster's office, not in this decaying old house." After she finished speaking, she walked out of Grimmauld Place without looking back 12th.

The wind outside was so cold that it hit my face like a knife.

Ada wrapped her coat tightly, walked down the old stone steps, and walked into the messy lawn in the center of the square.She glanced back, and No. 12 Grimmauld Place had disappeared in the morning light.

At this time, the street lights on the street were extinguished one by one, and the sky was bright.Withdrawing her gaze, Ada disappeared on the lawn of Grimmauld Square in an instant.

Ada reappeared in a residential area in Sutton, where the houses were patchwork and completely different from Grimmauld Place.Sutton is located southwest of Charing Cross and is part of the Greater London area.

When she came to a house, Ada knocked on the door according to a specific rhythm.

Just after knocking, I heard the door lock click, and the door opened.Pushing the door open, Ada didn't make a sound, she thought Sergey should be resting.

Quietly walking to the living room, Ada found that Sergey was not resting, but was sitting in the living room topless.Sergey seemed a little flustered, the bottle in his right hand was nowhere to be placed.

Not only Sergey was a little flustered, but Ada was also a little flustered. This was the first time she saw a palm-wide heart guard, and she had only heard about it before.

Ada turned away silently, giving Sergey time to tidy up.

The owner of the house was a Muggle newlyweds who were traveling, so it became Sergei's temporary residence.Take a sip of the wine, take a puff of the cigarette, not to mention that Sergei's childhood life is quite comfortable.

Sergey, who was dressed neatly, invited Ada into the living room until the living room was tidied up and the mixed smell of tobacco and alcohol was eliminated.There was an embarrassed smile on his face, but this smile was a little strange because of his thick beard.

Both the wine bottle and the ashtray were put away, and I don't know where they were hidden.

Ada sat on the sofa and looked at the respectful Sergey opposite, with his hands on his knees honestly, like a child who had done something wrong.It's just that the child is growing too fast.

"We're going back to Versailles for Christmas." Ada said, and then said: "Do you need to take a break? It's still early. We'll just leave in the afternoon."

Sergey probably felt insulted, he ran out of the living room excitedly, and came back with a suitcase in a short while.

"We can leave immediately, Miss Ada." Sergey said, his voice was very delicate, which did not match his rough appearance.

"Don't you really need to take a break?" Ada asked, "We really still have time." If she read correctly, Sergey was holding vodka in his hand at that time, and it was vodka that didn't mix anything.

Sergey shook his head violently, and repeated again: "You can leave at any time, don't worry."

"Have you packed it already?" Ada asked, pointing to the suitcase.Sergey came back so quickly just now, it must not be sorted out now.

"Yes, after you inquired about Cornelius Fudge's address, I put everything away," Sergey said.

Ada looked at Sergey, she was satisfied.Sergey guessed his own thoughts, but Sergey didn't do anything, just packed his luggage silently.

"You could have suggested to me," Ada said.

Sergey shook his head, and he said, "I can't influence your judgment, that's not what I should do."
