The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 281 The Biggest Prodigal Son in Diagon Alley
It is summer in the British Isles. During the long sunny days, there is nothing better than eating a big portion of ice cream. In Florin's Ice Cream Shop in Diagon Alley, two wealthy second-generations each had a big portion of ice cream in front of them.

In the bright sunshine, under a large parasol, Ada was flipping through a copy of "Transfiguration Today".

Although the poor girl turned over a new leaf and sang, Ada did not wear shiny rings on all ten fingers, nor did she show off her wealth like Malfoy. That was too low and did not fit her elegant personality.

Of course, if someone who knows what's good passed by, they would be able to tell from the long skirt Ada was wearing that this girl was either rich or noble.

Opposite Ada, Harry, who was also a rich second-generation, was not elegant at all. He scratched his head while writing a paper on the history of magic, and the ice cream in front of him had melted a little.

Harry was free to do whatever he wanted during this holiday. He got up whenever he wanted and did whatever he wanted, just like a street stalker in Diagon Alley. With only one day left in the holiday, he hadn't finished his summer homework yet.

Harry's already messy hair became even messier after he scratched it, so he had to ask for off-field assistance. Harry asked, "Ada, when is the International Wizarding Conference?"

"In 1289, a special group of Sardinian wizards participated in this meeting..." Ada said without looking up. If Harry opened "History of Magic", he would find that the answer given by Ada was exactly the same as the original text.

The guests around the two of them would occasionally show each other what they had bought, or talk about the case of Sirius Black.

When they saw Ada and Harry, they would deliberately lower their voices and say, "Personally, I won't let my child go out alone until he returns to Azkaban."

After returning to London, Ada had to live in the Leaky Cauldron because the Weasleys had not yet returned from Egypt. Coincidentally, the rebellious teenager Harry who ran away from home also lived there, so Ada grabbed Harry and went shopping together.

There was no other way. Fred and George were not there, and Ada, who was lazy by nature, lacked someone to carry her bag, so this task naturally fell gloriously on Harry.

Did Harry have a choice? No choice at all. But in return, Ada not only treated him to a large portion of ice cream, but also gave him a set of exquisite galaxy activity models. Harry had been coveting this model for a long time.

"What are we going to eat later?" Harry finally finished the paper and he felt his stomach growling.

What to eat is always a serious problem. To show respect for this problem, Ada closed the "Transfiguration of the Day" in her hand. After thinking for a while, Ada still couldn't decide what to eat, so it's better not to mention the delicious food in England.

"Ada! Ada!"

"Harry! Harry!"

Ada and Harry turned and looked to see the twins, Ron, and Hermione waving at them from across the street.

Four people walked towards them, and Ron showed off his new wand as soon as he came over. Hermione was holding a bulging bag of books. The little girl took all the courses, which was really a show.

Fred and George looked at Ada carefully, and finally felt relieved when they saw that she had gained some weight instead of losing weight. The two brothers waved their hands and ordered four more ice creams. Um... Ada paid the bill.

After eating ice cream, everyone went their separate ways. Ron, Harry and Hermione went to the pet store. Hermione wanted to buy a pet, while Ron wanted to buy some medicine for his mouse, which had always looked half dead this summer.

Ada and the twins were wandering along Diagon Alley, she was holding a snack in her hand, and the snack in the twins' hands was also hers.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Quidditch boutique. The shop window was crowded with people, and this situation has been going on for almost a week. Why not take a look when there is excitement? Ada and the twins squeezed through the excited men and women and saw the goods displayed in the window.

The Firebolt is the best flying broom on the market, but also the most expensive. The words "price negotiable" put many people off.

Fred and George stared at her with eyes that were even more fiery than when they looked at Madam Rosmerta. Probably just like many Muggle boys like sports cars, the Firebolt has a magical power that makes men unable to stop.

If you become rich, you will never forget each other. Ada separated from the crowd and walked into the store. She wanted to see what the price was. Ada's behavior finally made the twins regain their consciousness. The two brothers held Ada, and Fred asked, "Don't you have a sweep of the seven stars? Why are you going to the store?"

"It says negotiable, how can I negotiate if I don't enter the store?" Ada said as a matter of course, "Although Malfoy is a bit rude, he is right. The style of the Sweep Five Stars is indeed too old. It's just right to replace it with the latest Firebolt."

"Are you crazy?" George grabbed Ada and said, "I know the Rozier family is rich, but you can't spend money like this! You will leave your grandmother with the impression of a prodigal son!"

Out of nowhere, there was an old French grandmother who was extremely wealthy, and Ada was her only heir, but the twins still couldn't let Ada spend money like that. How many pure-blood families have fallen into ruin because they didn't know how to control themselves?

A prodigal son who squanders his family's wealth will never be liked by others.

Prodigal son? Ada felt that she was somewhat wronged. Even if Vida had not appeared in the family, she would have given each of the twins a flying broom.

However, her goal at that time was the Nimbus 2000 or Nimbus 2001, the prices of these two flying brooms were within her affordability. Now that she had her grandmother Vida as a backing, Ada set her sights on the newly launched Firebolt.

The blood connection allowed Ada to use [Directly to the Heart] on her grandmother, and Vida's deepest wish was to find her and take care of her until she grew up. This was why Ada recognized her grandmother so straightforwardly without any doubt.

Seeing that Ada was still trying to get into the store, Fred and George had no choice but to use force. The two brothers worked together well, one of them restrained Ada, and the other carried her and ran all the way back to the Leaky Cauldron.

Even Ada's wailing, "I don't want to buy it, I just want to take a look, isn't that enough?" failed to stop the brothers. This behavior is simply insane and outrageous.

If the owner of the Quidditch boutique knew what the twins did, he would beat them both to death.

Pedestrians on the road retreated one after another, fearing that they would be scratched by the running twins. After the twins ran past, they would say, "People's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be. The world is cruel and indifferent. Someone is forcibly seizing a woman in broad daylight!"

Fred and George didn't let Ada go until they met the Weasleys in the Leaky Cauldron. Ada was pale and almost vomited on the way.

"Is this decent? Is this decent? Is this decent?" Mr. Weasley scolded the twins. "Ada is a girl. How can you behave like this?"

While helping Ada to tidy up her messy hair, Weslev chimed in: "If I see you guys being so disrespectful again, I'll break both of your legs!"

"That's not the case. We can explain it," said Fred. "This time the fault is all Ada's."

"What's not!" Mrs. Weasley slapped Fred on the back. "No matter what, you can't carry Ada back like this!"

Seeing his twin brother being "harmed", George immediately explained: "It was really Ada, she was crazy, she actually wanted to buy Firebolts for both of us!"

"Even if you want to buy Firebolts, you shouldn't..." Mr. Weasley suddenly stopped, "Wait, what should I buy for you two?"

"Firebolt." George and the beaten Fred said in unison, "The most expensive broom on the market. Price is negotiable."

Mr. Weasley looked at Ada, who looked innocent, and Mrs. Weasley stopped chasing Fred. The couple turned their guns and began to criticize and educate Ada at the same time.

However, because Ada was a girl, Mrs. Weasley did not treat Ada as she did the tough-skinned Fred.
