The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 60 Where Is Ada Going?
Early the next morning, Ada went to find Professor McGonagall on purpose and handed these Galleons to her.There was a lot of money in the box, and even though it had her own name on it, Ada still felt uneasy.

Professor McGonagall checked the small leather bag and Gallon carefully, and she found nothing wrong with it. The bag of money was neither a dangerous item nor a prank product.

Judging from the name on the leather bag, the money was indeed given to Ada. Although it was not much, it could indeed improve Ada's poor financial situation, but the prudent Professor McGonagall temporarily confiscated Garen.

Professor McGonagall believes that it is better not to spend this kind of unclear money, and wait until she finds out the source of the money before returning it to Ada.

After walking out of the office, Ada went to meet the twins, and they should leave Hogwarts today.

Hogwarts did not allow any students to stay in the school during the summer vacation, so Ada had to return to the orphanage to live.Ada has no affection for the orphanage, except for Mrs. Mary, Ada has no nostalgia for it.

It's just that Ada has no choice, she can only go back there and continue to live. When she has money, she must own her own house, and she will not hesitate to be a house slave.

When heading to the station, Ada told the twins about Gallon, and also expressed her thoughts.

The brothers agreed that it might have been given by Dumbledore.Dumbledore prevented the "Daily Prophet" from publishing Ada's name, so this is his personal subsidy to Ada.

As for the money being sent by Snape, the twins did not agree with this statement at all.In their view, Snape didn't need to do this at all, and he didn't have the conscience to make himself feel bad and give Ada some compensation.

Ada thought: Anyway, I can’t think of who sent the money, so don’t worry about it for now, the money is not in my own hands now, I’d better leave this kind of thing to Professor McGonagall .

On the train, six people sat in a box, the twins and Lee Jordan sat on one side, and three girls sat on the other side.Along the way, everyone played cards and talked and laughed, just like when they first came.

The countryside outside the window is getting greener and tidier. The train passes one Muggle town after another. As the scenery outside the window becomes more and more urbanized, Ada and the others also changed their wizard robes and put on Muggle ones. melon clothes.

As the train pulled up to the platform at King's Cross station, the excitement of going home overshadowed the farewell as students poured out.

It took them a long time to get all out of the platform.A wizened old guard stood guard at the partition, allowing only two or three people through at a time, so that they wouldn't burst through the solid walls in a mass at once and attract the attention of the Muggles.

Ada and the twins walked out of the passage together. Mrs. Weasley was waiting there with Ron and Ginny, and she waved to Ada and the twins.

The chubby Mrs. Weasley ignored her twin sons, and said to Ida with a smile: "Honey, you must come to play at home during the holidays, and I will let Arthur pick you up."

"Mom, Ida is not your daughter, but Ginny next to you is!"

"We are your sons, but we haven't seen each other for half a year!"

The twins were jealous, but neither Ada nor Mrs. Weasley responded to them.

"Thank you for your invitation. I'm looking forward to the life of a wizarding family." Ada and Mrs. Weasley hugged each other, as if they were mother and daughter, and the twins were just neighbor's children.

Ada didn't say much to Mrs. Weasley, because she would have to travel halfway across London to get back to the orphanage.

Dragging the suitcase, Ada took the Muggle public transportation to the neighborhood where the orphanage was located. After only one year, this neighborhood gave Ada a sense of strangeness.

Continue to walk along the road in memory, she has been walking this road for a long time, naturally there is no mistake, but when Ada stood in front of the orphanage, her brain stopped immediately - the orphanage was gone !
"Where's my orphanage? Where's my freshman orphanage?" Ada murmured, "Did I go wrong? No!"

Ada rubbed her eyes vigorously, but the scene in front of her remained unchanged.The orphanage was not playing hide-and-seek with her, but had really disappeared, leaving only ruins.

Looking around, some houses not far from the orphanage have also been demolished. A team of construction workers are working on the ruins of the houses. It seems that this place has been demolished for a long time.

No matter how much Ida disliked the orphanage, it was a shelter that could shelter from wind and rain. Now that it was demolished, Ada still felt a bit of bitterness in her heart.

It was already getting dark, so there was no need to stay here, unless Ada wanted to sleep on the street.

Finally, after taking a deep look at the ruins of the orphanage, Ada dragged her suitcase and left. The next block was still there, and she was going to have a look there now.

Ada entered a very small coffee shop, because of the low price, people around would visit here, and Ada had visited once or twice before.

Sitting in the corner of the restaurant, Ida ate a pie and listened to the people talking, but the people said nothing nutritious, either bragging or discussing football.

Sitting in the coffee shop for a while, Ada, who didn't find out anything, was about to leave when a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside her.

"Esmeralda Drizzt?"

Ada raised her head and saw a man standing in front of her with a familiar voice and a somewhat familiar appearance.Ada asked uncertainly, "Mr. Kirk?"

"It's me." Mr. Kirk looked at the suitcase on the ground and asked, "You just came back?"

"Yes, sir, we had a summer vacation, but when we got back, we found out that the orphanage had been demolished."

Mr. Coke took out a pen from his pocket, and then wrote and drew on a napkin. He said: "The block of the orphanage was demolished after Christmas. It is said that it is to build a business district."

"The few neighborhoods around here are not rich, and they can be regarded as gathering places for the poor. In this commercial district, they are not afraid of losing their lives." Mr. Kirk continued.

"Where's Lady Mary?"

"She and the children were arranged to go to another orphanage, where the conditions are much better than here." Mr. Kirk gave Ada the napkin with the writing on it, "Look, this is the orphanage The address of the orphanage."

Ada took the napkin, and she frowned as she looked at the address on it.

"Mrs. Mary has been unable to contact you, so she asked a few people nearby to tell you the address if she sees you." Mr. Kirk continued, "The place is in the countryside near Surrey, not special. Far."

"My school management is very strict and I am very busy studying, so I have never contacted Madam Mary."

Ada only asked Mr. Weasley to send a letter at Christmas, but did not leave any contact information.Mrs. Mary is a nun, and Ada is a witch, so she never told Mrs. Mary about this, she was afraid that Mrs. Mary, who was already old, would not be able to bear the excitement.

"Do you want me to take you there?" asked the kind Mr. Coke. "I went there once to see it."

"Don't bother me sir, I'll go by train myself." Ada prevaricated, "I think I should go now."

Mr. Kirk looked at his watch and continued: "Then be careful all the way, it's getting late, you'd better go tomorrow."

"Thank you, I'll go to my classmate's house to borrow a night tonight."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Cork, Ada left the cafe. She went to buy envelopes and stamps. Ada had no plans to go to Surrey, but she should at least report to Mrs. Mary that she was safe.

After stuffing the letter into the mailbox, Ada dragged the box and left the block. It was getting late and she needed a place to live now.

When a wizard needs a place to live, where is your first thought?What Ada thought of was the Leaky Cauldron, which looked shabby, but it was the first stop of Ada's magical world.

Ada's back on the street is elongated obliquely. Everything started from the orphanage. Here Ada came into contact with a new world. Here Ada met Mag for the first time. Now this place has been demolished up.

Without a source, you can only move forward. Perhaps this is the magical arrangement of fate!
