The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 567 I hate guessing
As the door of the Pig's Head Bar was pushed open, the cold October wind howled in, blowing the candles in the shop flickering and flickering.

Accompanied by the cold wind, Ada appeared in everyone's sight.She glanced at the busy Aberforth before walking to her little friend by the fireplace.

Today they are the only guests in the Pig's Head pub. It is not known whether Voldemort's return made the bad business here worse, or Aberforth's bad temper scared away the guests.

Taking off the slightly heavy cloak, Ada sat in the vacant seat.Her eyes wandered around the store, as if she was guarding against someone eavesdropping, or as if she was waiting for Aberforth.

It took a while for Ada to focus her attention on her little friend.

The twins and Ida often met, and the two brothers did not show any abnormalities; Cedric also occasionally saw Ida in the Ministry, and he entered the Ministry of Magic or through Ada's matchmaking, and he also did not make a fuss about Ada's appearance.

Angelina and Alia looked Ada up, down, left, and right. They did a lot of mental construction, convincing themselves that it wasn't Ida who was wrong, but this fucking world.

Now that they met, Angelina and Alia realized that the previous psychological construction was in vain. Ada was still the same Ada, just showing a side they were not familiar with.

On the contrary, Lee Jordan, who always didn't care about anything, seemed a little reserved, and he didn't know what was going on.

Ada didn't tease Lee Jordan's thoughts, and the others looked at her like a chick waiting to be fed.Ada didn't hesitate, and said straight to the point: "The person who gave the opal necklace to Katie was Draco Malfoy, and it has been found out."

After speaking, there was an instant silence at the table, only the slight crackling sound from the lamps and candles.

No one thought that this matter would be done by Draco Malfoy. This unlucky boy has always given people the feeling of being sincere.

Picking up troubles and finding faults is always at the forefront, and he immediately hides behind the crowd when there is a real fight.Draco Malfoy, either on the way to find fault, or in the process of being beaten.

Toads don't grow hairs, so he can follow the root of this thing.

It was such an unlucky boy who suddenly rose up one day and wanted to do something big, almost killing Katie Bell.

And Malfoy's target cannot be Katie, he obviously has bigger plans.This sudden and earth-shaking change is really hard for people to accept all at once.

The silence didn't last too long, and soon someone spoke up.

Cedric was the first to ask: "Why? What is the kid's purpose, and why did he choose Katie?"

Ada shook her head, maybe only by catching Malfoy, would it be possible to know what he wanted to do.Ada vaguely felt that Malfoy's target was not Harry, and if he really wanted to deal with Harry, it was unlikely that Katie would be involved.

Compared with Katie Bell, who was in the first grade, Ron and Hermione beside Harry were better choices.Even if these two are difficult to attack, the explosive genius Seamus Finnigan and even Dean Thomas are better choices than Katie.

Unless Malfoy's target is not Harry, but someone Katie can reach.

But who around Katie is worthy of Malfoy's painstaking efforts?The price of that necklace was thousands of Galleons. Even though the Malfoy family was a big family, Galleons were not so profligate.

Anyway, regardless of what Malfoy had in mind, and who his ultimate target was, the fact that innocent Katie was cursed with an opal necklace for him couldn't just let it go.

The members of Lixiao gathered together from all over the world today, just wanting to ask for an explanation, and Katie should not suffer this crime in vain.

Seeing that Ada couldn't continue to give an answer, the friends stopped asking. The big guys silently drank the butterbeer in their cups and started tidying their clothes, obviously planning to go to Hogwarts.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Aberforth came over suddenly and stopped Ada and the twins.

Everyone also stopped. Angelina, Alia, Lee Jordan, and Cedric didn't know Aberforth's identity, but thought he was the bartender at the Pig's Head Bar, so their eyes were a little strange.

"We paid for the beer, sir." Cedric said with a slightly displeased expression. He thought Aberforth's behavior was because he discovered Ada's identity, and he wanted to verify it and report it to the Ministry of Magic. .

Aberforth ignored Cedric. He looked at Ada and said in an unquestionable tone, "Talk alone." Then he looked at the twins and continued, "Just the two of us."

Ada nodded and stepped aside with Aberforth, leaving Fred and George to explain Aberforth's identity.

After knowing that this sloppy waiter was actually the principal's younger brother, the eyes of the friends dropped in shock.It is unimaginable that both Draco and Aberforth have brought great shocks to everyone.

Ada, who was standing in the corner, said bluntly: "You are here to be a lobbyist? To persuade us not to go to Hogwarts, let alone make trouble with Draco Malfoy, right?"

"Someone did ask me like that, but I didn't agree." Aberforth said, his long gray beard twitching as he spoke, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of Hogwarts.

People say that brothers are of one heart, and their profits cut through gold. Brother Dumbledore is so good, they turned against each other directly.

Especially Aberforth, Ada has hardly heard the headmaster's name from his mouth.Fred and George were also having trouble with Percy. They usually called Percy "big fool" or "big fool" instead of "he" or "that" like Aberforth. people" kind of reference.

Ada is more interested in the love-hate relationship between the two Dumbledore brothers. If the scene is not suitable, she can even make up a 70-episode TV series.

"I didn't keep you here to stop you." Aberforth continued, "I just want to ask you, are you mentally prepared?"

"Mental preparation?" Ada repeated, she didn't understand what Aberforth meant for a moment.

In Ada's prediction, the benevolent Dumbledore should protect Draco Malfoy and give Malfoy a chance to reform himself.If Aberforth meant this kind of mental preparation, then Ada was ready.

A vicious old witch like Umbridge can live well under Dumbledore's nose, not to mention Draco Malfoy who has not yet left the campus.

"It seems that you are not ready." Aberforth said, "Yes. If you really knew my brother well enough, you would not have appeared in Hogsmeade today."

"What do you mean?" Ada is a smart person, but she doesn't like this guessing way of speaking.

Talk well when chatting, talk well when talking, always talk half and leave half, are you motivated?If you want to say it, then say it openly, if you don't want to say it, then don't even open your mouth.

"It's boring to say it directly." Aberforth guessed Ada's mind, "What I want to say is that you may be disappointed today, and you will see a very different Dumbledore, a somewhat strange Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore."

Then, Aberforth waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let's go, hurry up. Because of you, I didn't do any business today."

The bewildered people were pushed out of the bar by Aberforth "kindly and enthusiastically", and were exposed to the muddy streets of Hogsmeade.As for Ada, she seemed to gradually understand what Aberforth said.
