The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 698 Scarborough Fair
This small town has a market, a beach, a bay, a church, and a castle on the top of the hill...

There are many places to visit in Scarborough, but Ada only chooses a small cafe.

Fred and George sensed something in their hearts, but Ada didn't take the initiative to say it, so they didn't take the initiative to point it out.

Since Ada decided to bring them here, the answer will be revealed to them sooner or later, so why rush.

Fred and George didn't say anything more, it was too cold outside.The two brothers pushed open the door in a gentlemanly way, and Ada, who was not resistant to the cold, walked into the warm cafe first.

Like the narrow front door, the inside of this corner cafe does not give people a sudden sense of openness, and it looks a little crowded.

A bar, a few tables and chairs, a piano and guitar in the corner, sporadic guests, and warm and soft lighting make up the whole cafe.

Ada glanced at it seemingly casually, and chose a seat by the window to sit down.

Neither paying attention to the customers in the store nor the owner of the café, Ada quietly looked out the window, as if she was just tired from walking and came in for a cup of coffee.

According to the tacit understanding in the past, since Ada is going to occupy a seat, Fred and George will naturally go to the bar to order.

"How do you do, gentlemen, what do you need?"

The voice of the cafe owner sounded softly, and her voice, like this small restaurant, brings a warm feeling.

"Three cups——" Fred, who was about to order, was stunned, and only half-spoken.

"What's the matter, is there any problem?" the cafe owner asked, a bit of puzzlement and confusion appeared on her beautiful face.She looked about 40 years old, with the charm of a mature woman.

If Ms. Rosmerta of the Three Broomsticks is a middle-aged woman with a charming charm, who is the dream lover of many Hogwarts boys, then if the woman in front of her appears in Hogsmeade, she will be completely smashed Rosmer Tower.

However, what surprised the twins was not her beauty, but her appearance gave the two brothers an illusion, and the two brothers felt as if they had seen the middle-aged version of Ada.

"No, it's nothing," George said quickly, "um... three cups of O'Leary coffee... uh, thank you."

The cafe owner smiled amiably, and she said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

"It's okay...it's okay..."

Under the puzzled eyes of the cafe owner, Fred and George fled quickly and ran to the seat by the window, panting and sitting opposite Ada.

The eyes looking out of the window were finally taken back.

Ada asked, "See?" Her voice was nasal, as if she had a severe cold.

"I see." The twins nodded in unison, so much that it made people worry whether their heads would fall off.

Ada asked casually again, "Does it look like it?"

"Like." Fred and George said in unison again.

The twins can't say that they don't have the same conscience. The eyebrows and the corners of the mouth that rise when they smile seem to be carved out of the same mold.

If two people stand together, anyone will say that this is a pair of beautiful mother and daughter who have been blessed by God, and absolutely will not think that the two have nothing to do with each other, and will regard them as strangers.

"Is she really...?" George asked cautiously.

If it was really what he guessed and what he saw, why did Ada seem not very interested?
Ada rested her elbows on the table, clasped her hands together, and the knuckles of her index fingers just touched her soft lips. She said in a muffled voice: "Yes, she is Jessica Taylor, my biological mother who has been missing for many years .”

The twins turned their heads and looked at Jessica who was busy at the bar. The mother and daughter who had been reunited for a long time really looked more and more alike.

Looking at Jessica's current appearance, one can probably know what Ada will look like 20 years later; looking at Ada's current appearance, it seems that one can see the beauty of Jessica 20 years ago.

"But...why..." Fred didn't understand, he was full of doubts.

In 1977, Ada, who was still a baby, was placed at the gate of the orphanage and was taken in by Mrs. Mary.

And now it is 1997, since Ada's biological mother Jessica is still alive, why has she never returned to London to look for it?
Fred lowered his head, he really wanted to slap himself hard now, he didn't think he should ask this question.This is a very hurtful question, especially for Ada who seems to be strong.

"Her," Ada also looked at the bar and saw Jessica greeting the new guests.Then said: "She doesn't remember. Can't remember anything."

Does not remember her husband Louis, nor her daughter Esmeralda.

"The Oblivion Curse!" George said in a low voice.

Not long ago, the twins learned from Ron that in order to protect their parents, Hermione used the Forgetting Curse to erase their memories.

Apparently, the same goes for Jessica.Of course, the person who cursed her was Louis Rozier. In order to protect his wife, Louis made Jessica forget all this, and forget everything that would bring danger and pain.

"Yeah, forget everything." Ada murmured, she completely understood what Louis did, and she would have done the same.

Louis' identity as a wizard is exposed, and what he will face is the joint pursuit of Evan Rozier and Alan Rozier, and there may be Death Eaters involved.

The situation is critical and outnumbered.Faced with the vicious thugs, Louis chose to put all his eggs in one basket.

He erased his wife's memory and kept her away; he also fostered his daughter in an orphanage, so he didn't have to follow him.

Perhaps, Louis wanted to reunite his family after defeating the enemies who were chasing him; or perhaps, Louis wanted to return to France to persuade his mother Vader to take back his wife and daughter who were far away in England.

Exactly what Louis Rozier's plan was is unknown.

He was dead, at the hands of his pursuers, perhaps just as he was about to depart for France.His death caused his daughter to grow up alone in the orphanage, and his wife moved to Scarborough.

"How did you find this place?" Fred asked.

"I didn't find it." Ada shook her head. "Grandma found it here a year ago. She didn't tell me about it until recently."

In the summer of 1996, Ada asked Laura where Vader had gone, but Laura just told her: Madam asked old friends to reunite, and she was going to do a very important thing, which was more important than Ada's control of the Ministry of Magic. important things.

It turned out that this very important thing was to look for Jessica instead of Ida.

After thinking about it carefully, George said: "Maybe I don't want to distract you! You have been resisting Voldemort before, and suddenly knowing the whereabouts of your biological mother will definitely affect you."

While the three were talking, Jessica came over with a tray.

After putting away the coffee in the tray one by one, Jessica did not leave. Her eyes stayed on Ada, as if she was attracted by the delicate face of the woman in front of her.

However, Ada in Jessica's eyes is different from Ada in the eyes of the twins.

In the eyes of the twins, Ada is naturally a first-class beautiful woman in the magic world, and she has a very similar face to Jessica.

In Jessica's eyes, Ada was just an ordinary girl with fiery red hair and freckles on her face, and she was a little taller than ordinary girls.

But it was this girl who was so ordinary that she couldn't be more ordinary, but Jessica felt a sense of familiarity in her heart: I seem to have seen her somewhere, I seem to have hugged her...she seems to be very important to me.

"Ma'am? Ma'am?" George called softly. "Are you all right?"

Jessica was awakened by George's voice, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just... this lady is so beautiful, I couldn't help but look at it for a while longer. I'm so sorry!"

"It's all right, you don't have to be like this, ma'am," said Fred. "She will be very happy to be praised by a beautiful lady like you!"

However, Jessica continued her apology, saying: "I apologize again for my faux pas!"

"You really don't have to," said Ada, her cold seeming to get worse. "Thank you very much for the compliment. I think my mother would be very proud to know that I've been praised."

Seeing that all three said this, Jessica felt relieved and planned to leave, returning her private space to the three guests.

But before leaving, Jessica still couldn't hold back, she asked tentatively: "Miss, have we met before?"

"No, this is my first time in Scarborough," Ada said, "and probably the last time."

Hearing this, Jessica felt a pang of pain for no reason.That unspeakable feeling is like hearing your own child say that she will never come home again.

"It's okay!" George interrupted suddenly, "Even if you haven't seen it before, haven't you seen it today!"

"That's right, that's right!" Fred echoed, "Although we met for the first time, it can also be regarded as a reunion after a long distance!"

A smile spread across Jessica's face, and she gave Fred and George a grateful look.Jessica said, "Excuse me for being rude again, may I ask your name?"

"By the way, my name is Drizzt," Jessica continued, "Jessica Drizzt."

Ada looked up, and she stared into Jessica's eyes as if fascinated.

After a while, Ada said lonely: "Rozier, Esmeralda Rozier."
