The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 137: Brave Ron Fights the Dragon
When the Hogwarts Express arrived, Fred and George finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had lost miserably. If they really had to wash socks, they would have to wash Ada's socks for the rest of the year. Gryffindor's gambling god really lived up to his reputation.

However, Ada did not really plan to let the twins wash her socks. She just wanted to add some fun to the game so that everyone would be more serious when playing cards and the game would be more fun.

After getting their luggage, Ada and the twins got off the train and soon found the Weasleys on the platform. After a while, Charlie and Percy also came over.

The Weasley family left King's Cross Station and returned to the Burrow in St. Catchpole. The summer vacation of 1991 officially began.

Charlie didn't say much along the way, looking like he was worried about something. Mr. Weasley mentioned dragons or Romania from time to time. It seemed that Charlie and Mr. Weasley were planning to tell Mrs. Weasley that Charlie wanted to go to Romania.

The twins also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so they started to make jokes to lighten the mood. Ada also joined in the jokes, trying to be a qualified seamstress.

It's just that the twins' thoughts were too jumpy. One moment they were talking about this matter, and the next moment they were talking about Percy. Ada really couldn't keep up with the speed of change, so she stopped getting involved.

Only Ron and Ginny, who knew nothing, were still laughing, being amused by George and Fred. Their laughter relieved the boredom of the journey.

In the evening, after eating the big meal prepared by Mrs. Weasley, the children gathered in the living room downstairs. Percy was sitting on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about, perhaps thinking about his future.

The twins were playing cards with Ginny, and they transferred all their anger for losing to Ada to Ginny. Fred and George hid and stole cards right under their own sister's noses, cheating on a ten-year-old girl. They were not going to be human beings.

And Ada, the instigator of all this, was playing chess with Ron. Ron had a firm grasp on the position of the younger brother in the family, and he was the one with the lowest status in the entire Burrow.

Ron was forced to play wizard chess by Ada, who promised Ron that she would buy him snacks as long as he played chess with her. Under Ada's carrot-and-stick policy, Ron had no choice but to play a few rounds with this bad chess player.

Charlie and the Weasleys were not in the living room. The three of them were in Charlie's room, discussing what to do after Charlie graduated. Although Mr. Weasley was a little reluctant, he supported Charlie's idea of ​​going to Romania and was willing to help his children pursue their dreams.

The father and son, who had already discussed the matter, had been hiding it until today when they told Mrs. Weasley. They didn't know what Mrs. Weasley would think and whether she would support her second son's dream.

The twins only played with Ginny for a while and then stopped bullying her. After all, she was a younger sister, not a younger brother, so they couldn't use such harsh methods. In addition, they also wanted to see how Ada was abused. Is there anything more fun than seeing Ada being abused?

Obviously not. Such an uncommon scene is worth watching carefully, pondering over and over again, and then bringing it out from time to time to stimulate Ada.

In this small wizard chessboard, Ada was ruthlessly dominated by Ron. No matter whether Ada chose the Sicilian Defense or the French Defense, she would soon be defeated. She walked step by step into the trap set by Ron, and then was killed by Ron who was sure to win.

Ada knew she would lose, but she didn't expect to lose so badly that she couldn't even force a draw. Ada could only push down her chess pieces again and again and admit defeat. If she wanted to defeat the great devil Ron, Ada still had a long way to go.

Ron's presence has always been low among the Weasley boys. He is not as good as his brothers and seems to have some inferiority complex. However, in this world composed of 64 small black and white squares, ordinary Ron becomes so dazzling. Ron showed a proud smile on his face. He stretched out five fingers and shook them, indicating that Ada had lost five games to him, and reminded her to remember to fulfill her promise.

The twins were equally excited, as if they were the winners of the chess game. They excitedly high-fived Ron. That was about it.
(〃￣︶￣)人(￣︶￣〃)
"Today is a day worth celebrating because our little brother has defeated the female devil of Gryffindor!" Fred said loudly. As he spoke, he winked at Ada, with the words "You have come to this day too" written all over his face.

"Our little brother will be crowned king today, the great King Ron, who defeated the ferocious and brutal dragon with his own hands!" George waved his arms to imitate a dragon, looking the same as before, and more like an old hen pecking at food in the yard.

Ada was furious and chased Fred and George to fight, but how could she catch the two brothers? One chased and the other two ran away, and their chase actually dispersed the low pressure over the Burrow.

"Kids, I just heard that Ron defeated the dragon. Can anyone tell me what happened?" Mr. Weasley came downstairs. Apparently they should have reached an agreement.

Behind Mr. Weasley, Charlie walked down with his mother, both of them had red eyes.

"Dad, it's Ada. Ron just won five games of wizard chess against Ada in a row!" Ginny ran to her father and said loudly.

"Oh, really? It turns out that our Ada also has things she is not good at." Mr. Weasley said as he looked at Ada who had stopped chasing. "But this is normal. Everyone has areas that they are not good at."

"Dad, there are still many things that Ada is not good at..." Fred was about to continue revealing the news when Ada ran over and covered his mouth, preventing him from speaking. Fred could only make a whimpering sound.

Unfortunately, although she was able to defend against Fred, Ada was unable to defend against George. George stood far away from Ada and revealed, "Ada's herbology is terrible. She even killed a precious herb. Professor Sprout was almost pissed off by her, and..."

"And what?" Mrs. Weasley's voice was heavily nasal, as if she had a cold. "Shouldn't you two take the initiative to tell me your final grades?"

"Okay, now I have something very important to announce." Mr. Weasley clapped his hands, and when everyone was quiet he continued, "Your brother Charlie has graduated from Hogwarts. He will go to Romania to study dragons to fulfill his dream. Let us bless him!"

Mr. Weasley started clapping when he finished speaking, and motioned for the children to join him. However, the applause was not very enthusiastic, because everyone knew that Charlie wanted to go to Romania, except Ron and Ginny. Even Ada and the twins knew it earlier than Mr. Weasley.

Charlie scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

After Bill, another Weasley child left home to work. The twins and Ada's eyes fell on Percy, who would be the next to graduate.
