The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 209 The world is worth it
The Gryffindor common room was noisy, everyone was celebrating the long-lost championship in their own way, and every team member was treated like a hero.

Fred, George and Lee Jordan hugged each other and sang an unknown song loudly. The song was more terrifying than encountering Filch around the corner, but there were people around them listening.

Angelina, Aaliyah and Katie Bell stood in the crowd with red faces. The boys shouted their names and vowed to follow them forever.

Even Percy forgot the decency of a prefect. He jumped up and down like a madman, standing on the table and cheering wildly, then jumping on the armchair and dancing, as happy as a child.

Compared to Percy, the team captain Wood behaved more like a child. He squatted in the corner and cried, while his friends were comforting him. If you didn’t know, you would think that Gryffindor had lost the championship!
Ada never expected that after she said the password and passed the dormitory manager, the fat lady, she would see such a chaotic scene. This eye-catching scene made the knowledgeable Ada stunned, but the others were not stunned. They crowded in front of Ada, and they were so excited that they were incoherent, but from the intermittent sentences, you could also hear their gratitude to Ada.

Especially some senior students, who had waited for more years, so they understood better how hard it is to win the championship. They couldn't even utter a complete word and could only smile at Ada to express their gratitude with their smiles.

This was probably the most popular day Ada had ever had since she entered Hogwarts, even more popular than when she had just been sorted into Gryffindor.

Surrounded by students, Ada stood at the table in the middle of the lounge. Everyone knew that Ada was a little difficult to get along with, but today she was the hero of Gryffindor, and all she had to do was stand there and accept everyone's thanks.

Looking at this group of excited classmates, Ada felt a little complicated, but she did not spoil everyone's fun. She had a smile on her face, just like when she was in the Leaky Cauldron.

Ada suddenly remembered the lyrics of the Sorting Hat: Perhaps you belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried deep in their hearts. Their courage, spirit and generosity make Gryffindor stand out.

Ada took a glass of iced pumpkin juice from George. She raised the glass and said, "We are brave and fearless. We are fearless. We are Gryffindor!"

Today's Hogwarts belongs to the brave and fearless Gryffindor. Today's Gryffindor belongs to Esmeralda Drizzt. Today, she is the best witch in the world, no doubt about it.

After several years, I finally won the Quidditch Cup again, but the excitement of winning the championship did not last long because the final exams were coming.

It's like you drink a big glass of iced juice in the hot June, and when you turn around you find it's snowing heavily outside, and you feel cold from the inside out.

The exams were approaching, and even Fred and George were studying hard, let alone everyone else. Even though the air outside was particularly tempting, the students could only stay in the castle, and the number of people in the library suddenly increased. Madam Pince's irritability increased as the weather warmed up.

It was under such circumstances that the savior Harry was discharged from the hospital. He missed the crucial Quidditch final but did not miss the insignificant final exam.

This behavior was incomprehensible to the twins. If they were Harry, they would definitely wait until the final exams were over before leaving the infirmary. They would rather face Madam Pomfrey than stay in the room to review and sit in the classroom to take the exam.

Probably except for people like Ada and Hermione, no one likes taking exams, and Harry Potter is no exception. Maybe he just doesn't want to take sick leave again, or maybe he regretted it as soon as he left the school infirmary.

Not long after leaving the school infirmary, Harry found Ada and the twins. He apologized to Ada for the incident of protecting the Philosopher's Stone that was circulating in the school.

In Harry's opinion, it was Ada who contributed more in this matter, but all the credit went to him, as if he was the only one protecting the Philosopher's Stone.

This is what makes Harry Potter so valuable. He did not keep the honor for himself, nor did he lose himself in the praise of others.

Although Harry still has some shortcomings, Ada has gradually understood why Dumbledore values ​​him so much. Apart from the lightning-shaped scar, this child himself is worthy of being valued.

The exam week arrived as scheduled, but Ada, who had been absent from school for a long time, was not panicked at all. This was her third final exam at Hogwarts, and she had already figured out the professors' routines. She felt that she would undoubtedly take first place in her grade again.

This was indeed the case. After the results were announced, Ada was still at the top of the grade. Even the result in Potions, which she was most worried about, was an "O".

Ada has always been good at Potions, so she shouldn't have such worries. It's just that she just snatched the Quidditch Cup from Slytherin, so it's not too much for Snape to give her an "E", right?
Snape's heart is in the armpit, and he often favors Slytherin in various inappropriate ways. No wonder Ada has such a little thought. However, Snape did not tamper with the final grades. He disdains to do such things.

Snape really didn't want to see Ada recently. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and strangle the Gryffindor Seeker to death. Even the "salary" paid to Ada was transferred by the elf Winnie.

And Ada was also very tactful and did not hang around Snape in an obnoxious manner.

A lot of things happened in the 1991-1992 school year, including the admission of Harry Potter, the conspiracy surrounding the Philosopher's Stone, the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, and the Quidditch Cup. Before Ada knew it, she had become a popular figure in Gryffindor, which was unimaginable a month ago.

From the loss at the beginning of the school year, to the frustration more than a month ago, to finding her own direction in life now, this school year can almost be said to be the year in which Ada has grown the fastest. This growth does not refer to magical attainments, but to her mentality. If the experience of the first grade taught Ada how to think in a magical way, and the experience of the second grade taught her how to survive, then this year taught her how to face herself and how to strengthen her heart.

There are many people with talent, and whether they can realize their talent often depends on whether they have a strong heart. It seems that it is only one step away, but countless talented people have failed.

Today is the last day of this eventful school year. Ada packed her luggage early and came to the Twilight Cottage, whose name has been changed many times.

By the way, this cottage has officially become Ada's private property and she is no longer a resident of the house.

The afternoon sun always makes people lazy, so Ada put down the magazine in her hand and curled up lazily on the sofa, with the fan floating in the air gently fanning to dispel the heat in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, the twins, who had been having fun outside, came in. The dog, Garlon, wagged his tail and warmly welcomed them.

The two brothers, sweating profusely, first poured themselves a glass of iced apple juice. After drinking the cool juice, the two brothers felt alive again.

George held onto his iced apple juice and fanned himself to cool down, while Fred walked over to Ada, gently picked up a feather pen from the table, and placed it near Ada's nose.

The shaking feather pen made Ada feel her nose itchy, and her eyelashes trembled, obviously she was about to wake up. Seeing this, Fred quickly put down the feather pen and sat aside obediently, pretending that he was very hot and was too lazy to move.

Being disturbed in sleep is an unforgivable thing, so Ada was a little upset when she woke up. She rubbed her nose and asked, "Who of you did it? Together?"

Fred looked at Ada innocently and said, "What's wrong with us? We just entered the house. Can't you explain it more clearly?"

Although George was still talking nonsense, he still nodded in support of his twin brother.

"Which of you two moved the quill on the table just now?" Ada asked. She noticed that the position of the quill on the table was different from before, so she changed her way to trick the twins.

Unfortunately, George was not fooled at all. He finally put down the cup and said, "It hasn't moved. It might be Galleon. You know, it's always very active."

Garlon, who had been wagging his tail happily just now, stopped wagging his tail now. He stared at the twins with his round dog eyes and tilted his head. Although he could not understand what they said, his animal instinct told him that these two people had bad intentions.

Then Ada and the twins saw the off-white Garlon run away with its tail between its legs, even faster than when it saw Mrs. Loris.

"Look, it's guilty as a thief." Fred said, pointing to the door.

Ada was helpless as she watched the dog disappear like the wind. Merlin could testify that Ada didn't believe the twins' lies at all, and she had no intention of boiling water.

Ida didn't care about the twins playing a prank on her. She took the iced juice George handed her and walked to the piano and sat down.

As the yew wand tapped on the piano, a bright melody sounded in the cottage. Ada also hummed along with the melody. She was very satisfied with her current life.

This was not the first time Fred and George had heard Ada humming softly, but it was the first time the brothers had heard clearly what she was singing.

"The breeze gently carries my name~
It tells me that the world is rich and colorful.
The leaves are swaying and the breeze is warm~
It's a taste of happiness for me.
I have one small wish left~
When today is gone I will hopefully find
You and I can have a tomorrow as beautiful as today~
As long as you are by my side, all my wishes will come true~
I stand on the top of the world and look down upon all living beings~
The only answer explains everything~
Since you have been by my side, I have finally understood what love is.
You put me on top of the world.
......"

Life is bright, everything is lovely, and life is worth living.

I highly recommend the song "Top Of The World" by the Carpenters
