The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 104 New Home
Hogwarts has resumed normal classes, but Ada's relationship with the twins has not returned to normal.

The twins have been avoiding Ada this week. It is harder than climbing a mountain to see them. The two of them are either wandering around the castle or hiding in the dormitory. The only way to see them is during class or dinner in the auditorium.

Although Ada knew why Fred and George were angry, she obviously underestimated the consequences of this situation. She really didn't expect that the two brothers could be angry for so long and not give them any chance to ease the situation.

Ada, who had failed miserably, was not used to Hogwarts without the twins. There was no one to chatter in her ears, and she could hardly concentrate on reading. Life without anyone to make jokes was extremely boring.

Ada has been working non-stop this week. She has to go to class during the day and also find time to clean the room with Winnie, the house elf. Yes, even after a quarrel with the twins, Ada still did not give up the "Screaming Shack Renovation Plan". The shed has become tidy in their hands, and the rest is to renovate and repair the furniture.

At night, Ada still couldn't rest well. Snape's sharp-tongued class started again. There were many crucibles of different models waiting for her. These were the tasks she needed to complete in January. If she didn't complete them, Merlin would know how beautiful the words Snape would say were.

In addition, Ada did not give up her practice. She was no longer beaten by the trial puppet and was covered in wounds. She could now fight the puppet on equal terms and occasionally even overpower it. However, she had not yet passed the level and unlocked the next difficulty.

In layman's terms, Ada is stuck at a level. If you want to pass the level without spending money, you need to work harder. But I believe it won't take long before Ada, who works harder, will get stuck at the next level.

Every night was busy, which meant that there was a possibility of not having a good meal or not having time to eat. In the past, when this happened, the men behind Ada would always prepare food in advance, but now the twins were still angry, and unless Ada prepared it herself, she would have to go hungry.

The feeling of being hungry is usually very bad. It can make people's minds less sharp and their sleep quality worse. If there were not some snacks stored in the dormitory, Ada would have to go to the kitchen again.

After more than a week, Ada felt that everyone should be able to calm down now, and the three of them could sit together and talk calmly. But the twins didn't give Ada any chance, and the Marauder's Map was in their hands, so it was easy to hide from Ada.

If there is a problem, solve it. Why keep hiding? Although Fred and George are only thirteen years old, Ada still "despises" their unmanly behavior.

Ada, who was dizzy from being "tortured" by Snape, had to take coercive measures. She planned to force a friendly talk with the two of them and properly resolve the problems among the three of them.

Normally, they could avoid meeting each other, but the twins always had to come to class, so this was the best time to stop them. After finishing the torturous herbal class and getting rid of the wailing mandrake, Ada was finally able to talk to the twins.

As soon as the get out of class was over, the twins left the greenhouse with Lee Jordan, and Ada had to chase after them and call out their names. Fred and George clearly heard it, but the two brothers had no intention of stopping or turning back, and continued to walk towards the castle.

Unable to call the brothers, Ada could only run to find them, bumping into several innocent classmates along the way. Ada stopped in front of the twins and said, "We need to talk!"

Lee Jordan looked at the three people who had fallen into silence, and realized that he was now redundant, so he took the initiative to leave, leaving space for the three people. Ada and the twins left the crowd and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

"Is it fun to hide from me?" asked Ada, who was walking in front. Her golden hair was blown by the wind, and she looked like her hair was standing up because of anger.

The twins followed behind silently, neither of them saying anything. Ada stopped and turned to look at the two brothers. The twins didn't expect her to stop so suddenly, and they were not prepared, so the three of them almost bumped into each other.

"If you want to quarrel, just quarrel. Why are you playing with cold violence? Why don't you two just go on a hunger strike?" Ada pushed and hit Fred and George, but she didn't use much strength. She was just venting her dissatisfaction.

When eating, your teeth may accidentally bite your tongue, let alone your friends?
A little scuffle between friends is not a big deal. What makes Ada angry is that these two people are actually in a cold war with her. This is the easiest way to destroy the friendship between the three. Fred stretched out his right hand and pressed Ada's forehead. He said, "So where is the violent Miss Trist going to take us?"

"Are you going to use the black magic you just learned to kill both of us?" George said, "Today is not a good day for traveling!"

Ada tightly grasped Fred's right hand that was pressing on her forehead with both hands, and at the same time stepped back, turned her waist, and took the initiative, pushing Fred to stagger.

Fred, who was pushed to the ground, looked at Ada innocently, as if to say: George said that, go find him, why are you getting angry with me!
George, who was standing aside, had no intention of pulling his twin brother up. His eyes were shining, and he was obviously very interested in Ada's quick and decisive move.

"I am a bad person, so it's no surprise that I did something bad. I'll dig a hole and bury both of you in it later." Ada continued to lead the way towards the forbidden forest.

The twins did not follow Ada's steps. After hearing what she said, the two brothers were stunned for a moment. Ada was called a mudblood more than once or twice, but she had never been heard to call herself a bad seed in a self-abandoning way.

George, who was standing, and Fred, who was sitting, looked at each other. They were both wondering if they had gone too far. The good boy's brain had been forced to work harder.

Ada, who did not hear the twins' footsteps, stopped again and turned back to say, "If you don't catch up, this new home will be mine alone."

Fred and George naturally knew what the new home was. The Shrieking Shack was outside the map, and anyone who entered there would disappear from the Marauder's Map. Ada disappeared from time to time in the past few days, and it was self-evident what she was doing.

George pulled up Fred who was still sitting on the ground, and the two of them ran towards Ada with smiles on their faces, standing on her left and right as they did before, just like when they were looking for the secret passage a week ago.

"Stop dreaming. The house belongs to three people. You'd better not even have the idea of ​​keeping it all to yourself!" Fred said seriously. His expression did not sound like that of a wizard, but more like that of a lawyer.

"Mom asked us to take good care of you, so we can't let you learn bad things from Cecil, that old smoker. We have to keep an eye on you." George said worriedly, and he didn't even believe what he said.

Ada and the twins stood in front of the Whomping Willow again. This time, Ada did not transform into a mouse. Instead, she directly controlled a stone to fly towards the Whomping Willow and accurately hit the knot of the Whomping Willow.

"Maybe we should find an easier way in," Fred said. The brothers couldn't control magic like Ada did.

"Yeah, otherwise it would be a serious problem every time we go home." George said, "Also, we have to take safety measures. Just because we can find a way in doesn't mean others can't find it."

What the twins said made sense, and Ada was also trying to find a solution to these two problems.

The first problem is easy to solve by training the two brothers hard. Another method is to extend the length of the secret passage, which is a bit too much work, and move the entrance from the Whomping Willow to another place.

The second problem is the key. No one wants their door to be wide open and unguarded, but Ada has not thought of any solution yet.
