The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 121 Snape's Nightmare Collection
Ada did leave the playground. She was not familiar with Harry Potter, so she didn't care whether he was wet or cold. But after walking for a while, Ada came back. Harry Potter would definitely come to Hogwarts to study. They would meet each other every day. It was really unreasonable to leave him alone in the rain today.

Because both of them had emerald green eyes and were orphans, Ada showed mercy and decided to send Harry Potter home.

"Number 4, Privet Drive, not far from here," said Harry. She had clearly left, but then came back, which was something Harry had never expected.

Ada nodded. Of course she knew where Privet Drive was, and Harry had told her it was not far from here. But Ada did not take Harry away immediately. Instead, she used magic to dry his wet clothes, and then motioned Harry to follow her.

As for casting a spell in front of Harry, Ada didn't care. The system could help her block the traces, and no one could detect that she had used magic here. This matter was known to heaven and earth, she knew it, and Harry knew it. As long as the boy who survived didn't talk nonsense, no third person would know it.

What's more, Harry will be enrolled soon, so I can think of this as a senior giving my junior a lesson in advance so that he won't be too surprised when he receives the acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

Harry looked at the steam in front of him in amazement. The girl just waved the stick, and his wet clothes became dry, and his body became much warmer. Harry pointed at the stick and asked bravely, "What is this?"

Ada almost blurted out the word "magic wand", but she resisted the urge and said, "Magic wand, used for magic. Do you still want to leave? If not, I don't mind leaving you here."

Harry quickly got under Ada's umbrella. The invisible umbrella really blocked the raindrops outside, and he would not get wet at all. Harry was full of curiosity about everything about the girl in front of him. He wished he had the ability of this girl. By the way, he didn't know her name yet. Harry asked again: "I'm Harry, Harry Potter, what about you?"

Of course I know you are Harry Potter, and I also know your parents' names! Ada's desire to complain was unprecedentedly high today, but she was not going to confront someone she just met for the first time, so she answered truthfully: "Esmeralda Drizzt."

The two people left the playground and walked in a long alley. The alley was dark and long, and it was very suitable to shout here: This tree was planted by me, and this road was built by me.

"Did you just move into the neighborhood?" Harry asked. "I've never seen you before."

Looking at Harry Potter, who seemed to have a hundred thousand reasons, Ada felt that it was a mistake to come back. She should have let him get wet in the rain in the playground. Ada said, "I don't live here. I live in Ottery St. Catchpole Village. I came here to do some things."

"Don't ask what I'm doing!" Ada added immediately, blocking the conversation. Even if you are the naughty blue cat with three thousand questions, you'd better keep it to yourself.

"Hmm..." Harry actually still had a lot of questions to ask. He was so curious. He had never seen such an amazing ability as Ada's. He really wanted to know how Ada did all this. However, Ada's words directly choked back his remaining questions.

Passing through the alleys that were the best places for robberies, Ada and Harry turned into Wisteria Road. At this time, Harry was just a little kid who had never seen the world. He finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked again: "How...how did you do these things?"

Harry didn't know how to ask without making Ada angry, so he finally said something that was neither soft nor hard. He lowered his head, thinking that this was definitely the end, because she would definitely be angry if he asked such a secret matter.

Ada was silent for a moment, and she hadn't thought about how to answer. Should she say it was innate, or acquired through learning? If she said it could be done through learning, would Harry Potter ask where he learned it and whether he could learn it?

Harry didn't get a reply and thought Ada must be angry, and she didn't even talk to him. "Only one in a million people are qualified to master this ability." Ada stared at Harry threateningly. If he dared to say anything more, she would leave him here and let him get soaked.

Harry stopped asking questions, even though he still had countless more to ask. The two finally reached Privet Drive and slowly walked up the garden path of number 4 Privet Drive.

The distinguished guest did not leave. Harry saw Uncle Vernon smiling happily through the window, thinking that he had accomplished something important through this distinguished guest. Harry did not go directly into the house, but walked to a position where no one in the house could see him. After Ada left, he could just hide here from the rain.

"I live with my aunt and her family." Harry took the initiative to explain, "I'm already here, you should go home soon!"

It was obvious at a glance that Harry's aunt and her family did not treat him well, otherwise they would not have kicked him out just because there were guests at home, nor would they have let him wear such tattered clothes and not repaired his broken glasses.

Ada cast a "waterproof and moisture-proof" spell on Harry, which can help him hold on for a while. After the spell wears off, Harry will have to fend for himself.

"You must keep everything you saw of me today, and all the tricks you saw, to yourself. Don't tell anyone!" Ida said, threatening him by making a throat-slitting gesture. "Do you understand?"

Harry nodded frantically. Even if he was willing to tell others about what happened today, they would have to believe it! Everything that happened today was too dreamy and unbelievable. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Ada had completed her mission of sending Harry Potter home, and it was time for her to return to the orphanage, hoping to make it in time for dinner. Just as she was about to leave, Harry asked in disappointment, "Will we meet again?"

It shouldn't happen. Esmeralda Drizzt is a person with special abilities, and I am just Harry. How can we meet again? Harry thought silently in his heart, and the frustrated emotion was on his young face.

"There is a saying in the ancient East: If two people are destined to meet, they will meet even if they are thousands of miles apart; if they are not destined to meet, they will not be able to recognize each other even if they sit opposite each other." Ada said with her back to Harry, "I think we are destined to meet, maybe we will meet again."

Hearing Ada's words, Harry looked up excitedly. Was this a sign that they would meet again? Would he also have a chance to become someone with special abilities like Ada?
Harry looked up but did not see Ada on Privet Drive. All he could hear were her words and a loud bang like a gunshot.

After saying this, Ada used Apparition to leave Privet Drive. Ada could successfully perform all the spells recorded in the system, but the effect might be unsatisfactory, and she needed to constantly improve her proficiency. This was her first time to perform Apparition, and she was not injured or split, but the place where she appeared was still dozens of meters away from her destination.

Fortunately, the place Ada chose was a large open space, which saved her from the embarrassment of being hung on a tree due to her inability to appear accurately.

Holding an umbrella, Ada walked back to the orphanage. While eating, she was thinking about what happened today. She was still thinking about Cecil, but because of a sudden heavy rain, she met Harry Potter. No wonder Professor McGonagall stared at a house on Privet Drive for so long that day. It turned out that was where Harry lived.

It’s just a pity that Ada forgot to ask for Harry Potter’s autograph, which could have been a birthday present for Ginny.
