The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 99 Holiday II

Ada was woken up early the next morning. The ghouls in the attic would always make some noise when the house was quiet, either by screaming loudly or banging on pipes.As long as this ghoul feels quiet, then none of us will be quiet.

Ada, with disheveled hair, came downstairs while yawning. Her clothes were neat today, but the mirror on the kitchen mantelpiece was still yelling at her: "Combine your hair, it's messy!" What does it look like!"

Mrs. Weasley was cleaning the kitchen, and the cups, dishes and forks were being cleaned automatically in the sink, making a clashing sound as if they were playing a kitchen march.Hearing the sound of the mirror, she turned around and said, "Are you awake, dear?"

"Good morning, ma'am." Ada casually pulled up a bun, revealing her fair and slender neck.

When I was in the orphanage, only the very young girls would have their hair combed. The older ones did it by themselves, and no one taught them how to comb a complicated hairstyle.

Ada has never paid attention to her hair, so she usually wears her hair, and occasionally puts a single ponytail behind her head, or pulls a ball head like today.

While the other girls in the school were dressing up, Ada was holding thick books and chewing on them. That means she was naturally beautiful, otherwise, how many people would call her a nerd!
As soon as the eggs and bacon were fried, Mrs. Weasley put them on Ida's plate, and after a while the plate was piled up like a hill.If Ida hadn't stopped her, Mrs. Weasley might have built another hill.

Ada had intended to go to Ottery St Mary, on the banks of the Otter, after dinner, not to play, but to post a letter to Lady Mary.But Mrs. Weasley told her that letters could be delivered in the village, and she didn't have to travel so far to the town at all.

The people in the village got up very early, and there was nothing weird about the way they looked at this stranger, Ada. Christmas was coming soon, and the villagers just regarded her as someone who went to the town to perform.

Several children were playing in the village, and the bolder ones would look at Ada curiously, asking if she was an actress in the town, and what programs would be on at Christmas.

Annoyed and half dead, Ida didn't get rid of the gang of brats until she entered the post office.It is said that it is a post office, but in fact there is only one staff member. Ada came just in time. If it was one o'clock in the evening, the postman would have left here.

Back at the Burrow, Ginny was following Mrs Weasley around the kitchen, and the boys were working with Mr Weasley on setting up the house.There was a Christmas tree fixed in the corner of the living room that Mr. Weasley had just brought in, and the twins were hanging bells and ribbons on it.

Ada went to the kitchen, stood by the sink and peeled potatoes with a knife. She envied Charlie very much now, because Charlie could use magic outside of school, and Ada could only use it secretly without being discovered by Mrs. Weasley.

There are so many people, and the Burrow has been completely decorated in the morning, exuding the atmosphere of Christmas everywhere, so Mrs. Weasley allows the children to go out in the afternoon. They can play Quidditch, as long as they don't Just be seen by the Muggles in the village.

The boys led the way on broomsticks, followed by Ida and Ginny, and the seven headed up the hill to a paddock at the Weasleys' property, surrounded by trees and out of sight from the village below. .

Except for Ron, who is still young, the Weasley boys all use the sweeping series of broomsticks. Among them, the twins use the sweeping five-star broom, which is old but still easy to use.

Ada didn't have a broomstick, so when they left the Burrow, Charlie picked out an old broom from the broom shed for her, and Ginny wanted to take one too, but Charlie and the others didn't agree.

After arriving at the paddock, Charlie took the lead on the broom and lifted into the air, and several others followed suit, and began to throw and catch apples at each other.They couldn't play real Quidditch, they would be easily spotted by Muggles, and they didn't even fly very high.

The apples were passed around in the hands of several boys. They have been playing this game since they were young. The youngest Ron is very good at it, but his broomstick is a bit slow, which makes him look less handsome than his other brothers. elegant.

"Come on, Ada, stop grinding!" Fred began to urge Ada, everyone in the family knew that she was not good at broomsticks.

Several other boys started to follow suit, especially Percy and Ron, who were eager to see the embarrassment of good Ida riding a broomstick.But they are destined to be disappointed. Although Ada's talent is a bit weaker, her long experience and proficiency are not in vain.

"Come on!" Ginny encouraged Ada in a low voice, and then stepped aside.

Ada got on the broomstick and kicked the ground with both feet, and the broomstick lifted off steadily. The boys looked at Ada in disbelief, and the twins even opened their mouths wide, blowing a cool breeze.The twins who get along with Ada day and night, have no idea that she has made such great progress, and she couldn't fly stably before.

As a player, Ida is definitely not good at playing Quidditch, but she can still use the broomstick normally, at most, she flies a little slower and needs to pay more attention.

After the novice female driver Ada joined, the apples that were thrown well became difficult. Either Ada couldn't catch them, or she didn't throw them accurately enough, making it difficult for others to catch them.

If Charlie hadn't been a Seeker and had great skill, the apple would have been smashed by Ada long ago.Charlie paused the game, and he redistributed the teams. He put the twins on the same team as Ida, and he took Percy and Ron himself.

Three against three, roughly equal in strength, the twins side Ada is holding back, Charlie's side Ron and Percy are not on the school team.The twins placed Ida in the middle so that if Ida couldn't get the apple, both brothers would be there to help her.

After joining the team, Ada gradually found the fun of the game, and she received more apples.It was not until the sun was setting that the seven people left the paddock and went down the mountain to go home.

"Ada, when did you fly so well?" George asked.If you ask this question to others, it must be that George is mocking the other party for flying too badly. Asking Ada is praising her. After all, Ada's starting point is too low.

Fred and Charlie also looked over. They were equally curious about Ida's "surge" and how badly she played with the broomstick before. They had seen it with their own eyes in the first grade.

"I've told Fred and George a long time ago that I'm very good at learning." The system is Ada's biggest secret, and she can't tell anyone, "Remember the crackling exploding cards in first grade?"

The twins remembered the fear of being dominated by Ida when they were playing cards, it was a double insult to the spirit and IQ!
"Then we have a game tonight?" Charlie said, "Ida, don't worry, I won't bully you."

The twins shook their heads again and again, hoping to prevent Charlie from committing suicide, but Charlie, who was full of confidence in his card skills, still challenged Ida. A bloody battle of crackling and exploding cards seemed inevitable.
