The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 66 The Night of St. Catchpol

The fat chickens pecking in the courtyard have returned to their nests, and the night in the Burrow is peaceful.

Everything is quiet, and the only psychopaths who don't sleep honestly but go out for a walk are probably only Ada and the twins.The night sky was full of stars, and the three of them were strolling in the garden. Although they hadn't seen each other for more than a week, they felt that it had been a long time since they got together like this.

The Weasley brothers lolled ahead, with Ada following behind them.The garden is huge and overgrown with weeds, long overdue for pruning.It looks a bit messy, but not annoying.

There are many tangled trees around the base of the wall, and there is a big green pond with a lot of frogs croaking in it, which is just what a summer night should be like.

"We're angry!" Fred said angrily.

"Very angry!" When this matter was mentioned, George was also furious.

At the very beginning, Ada thought about writing to the twins, telling them about her situation at that time, but the Weasley family is a huge family, and Ada really didn't want to trouble Mrs. Weasley, so Ada hesitated for a long time. Da gave up on the idea anyway.

In fact, there is another way, that is, Ada writes directly to Professor McGonagall.After receiving the letter, Professor McGonagall might take her directly to his home.

The pros and cons of this method are obvious. Living in McGonagall's house, Professor McGonagall will definitely provide one-on-one tutoring for Ida, and the kitten class will start again.It's just that with Professor McGonagall's personality, Ada's vacation may not be so easy, and she doesn't want to think about work-study programs.

That's why Ada stomped cruelly and stayed at the Leaky Cauldron without telling anyone.If it weren't for old Tom's meddling, Ada probably wouldn't be discovered until before school started.

Ada had carefully thought about what Ollivander said in the wand shop back then, and she was also afraid that she would lose her heart because of the bewilderment of power.With the company of the twins and the meticulous care of the Weasleys, Ada is not so lonely in her pursuit of power.

A smiling Ida walks in the garden, her best friend walks in front of her, and the Burrow is behind her. No amount of sweet butterbeer can give Ida this feeling.

It was a good thing, thanks to Tom, that she could walk the summer evenings in Ottery St. Catchpole.

"We really want to live outside."

"There must be a breath of freedom in there."

The twins look yearning, the outside world is very exciting and attractive to them, and the helplessness in the outside world is not within their consideration at all.

"I also secretly drank sherry and fire whiskey." How bad is Ida, can she let the twins fantasize comfortably?
"Mrs. Weasley should be told about this..." Fred said.

"That's right, let this lady know what Miss Drizzt has done." George echoed.

"She won't even let us drink butterbeer!" said the twins together. "She thinks we'll get into trouble if we drink too much!"

The twins were full of resentment, and if it didn't snow for a while, Merlin would not give face and engage in secret operations.

"I think Mrs. Weasley is right," Ada said. "You will get into trouble if you don't drink. If you drink too much, the scene is unimaginable. If Dumbledore is in front of you, you may be able to His beard is all plucked!"

To be honest, Ada is still very curious about the image of Dumbledore without a beard, why don't you try it another day?
"You still don't know us well enough." Fred said, patting Ada on the shoulder.

"If you know us well enough, you will know that not only beards, but even a hair is considered to be our loss." George said arrogantly.

Thinking about the appearance of Dumbledore as a duck egg at the opening banquet, this will definitely confirm his name as an old madman among the freshmen, not to mention it is quite exciting.

"Tell me what does that wine taste like?" Fred really wanted to taste it, and being able to drink is one of the signs of growing up.

"That's it. I don't think it tastes too good. I still like iced pear juice."

George said dissatisfiedly: "How can fruit juice compare to whiskey, real men should drink whiskey!"

"Have you ever heard of vodka?" Ada asked disapprovingly. "The wizards of the fighting nation like this wine the most, and they drink it directly without adding anything!"

"Forget it then. Butter beer is pretty good."

"Are we the only ones living around here?" Ada asked.The Burrow is protected by magic. No matter how weird its shape is, no Muggle will see it, and even the postman will not be able to find it here.

"How come, there are Muggles, they all live in the village." Fred's answer was embarrassing. He knew that Ada was asking if there were any other wizards living around here, but he still chose this answer.

"A few miles from here there is a family of wizards whose son is our own class, Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff," George said, pointing in one direction.

"That Hufflepuff handsome boy?" Ada had some impression of him, a boy with a handsome appearance and a sunny personality.

"Handsome? What kind of eyes do you have?" Fred said speechlessly. "That's a creamy boy! Only you brainless little girls would like it."

Fred directly slapped Ada's waving fist, and as her body grew, Ada's force value was getting farther and farther away from the twins.

"The Fawcetts live around here, too," continued Fred.

"The Lovegood family lives on a hill. His house is weird, and their people are weird," George said, pointing to the hill in the other direction.

The Ada family did not know these two people, or even heard of them.She said, "Should we take some time to visit Digory's house? After all, they are all classmates."

"No, we're not interested in model students like Cedric." The twins walked forward with their shoulders crossed, ignoring Ada behind them.

"Forget it. Anyway, I don't really want to go. Going to work is very tiring." Ada moved her legs repeatedly to barely keep up with the twins.

George stopped in his tracks, and he asked, "You still have to go to work? It would be nice to live here, we can play together during the day, and what to do when we go to work."

"Of course it's to support myself, otherwise it's for what."

Fred also said: "Don't you have relief funds? These should be enough for you to buy things for school."

"I have to buy something else. Hogwarts needs accommodation, and I can't work and study. If I don't make any money during the holidays, what will I do after graduation?" Ada said.

"You always think so much, aren't you tired?"

"Thinking about it so much will make you sick."

Because the twins stopped, Ada walked to the front instead. She turned to the two and said, "I just want to make my life better, and Lihen Bookstore and Leaky Cauldron are very interesting."

"Let's go, let's go back, you go to bed early, so that you can have energy tomorrow." George led the way to the house.

"I was thinking of taking you to catch goblins tomorrow, but let's talk about it later, let's go!" Fred also turned around and went back.

Ada also walked back, and she said, "I'll buy you gifts when I get paid!"

"A broomstick?" George asked.

"There is no need for the light wheel, sweeping or comet will do." Fred said it as if he was thinking about Ada.

"You two, do you think I look like a broomstick, and sweeping, comet... only butter beer, drink it or not!"

The twins responded in unison, they said: "Drink, why not drink, and drink enough."

When Ada came back to Ginny's bedroom, Ginny was already asleep, and the pink rose was beside her pillow.I don't know what dream the little girl had, the smile on her face was very sweet.

The bright moonlight shone into the room, and Ada lay comfortably on the bed. Instead of stuffing the wand under the pillow, she threw it on the table. The Burrow gave her a great sense of security, and Ada could sleep soundly again. Good night's sleep.

"Good night Ginny, good night Weasley, good night The Burrow," murmured Ada lying on her back, "and, good night Esmeralda..."
