The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 315 Return of the property to its original owner
There's not much to say about Ron's pet mouse, Scabbers. Apart from being more resilient, it looks no different from other pet mice. It's fat and old, and doesn't seem to have any special appeal at all.

Originally the mouse was not Ron's pet. Ron inherited it from his brothers, just like his old robes and old textbooks.

Ron couldn't understand why Crookshanks kept chasing Scabbers. Even if catching mice was a cat's nature, Crookshanks' obsession with Scabbers couldn't be explained by nature.

Not to mention Ron, even Percy, the male student union president, couldn't figure it out.

Back then, when Scabbers was still in Percy's hands, Garlon had launched the first round of hunting for Scabbers. If the cat catching the mouse can be explained by nature, then what about Garlon? Is it meddling in other people's business when the dog catches the mouse?
Under the "negotiation" of her elder brother Percy, Ada had to restrain Garlon's nosy behavior, which allowed Scabbers to survive for a few more years. Now it was Ron's turn. As the youngest of the brothers, he didn't have that much power. Whether it was Ada or Hermione, neither of them could be dealt with by him.

This was a tough time for Banban, as he had to face the overwhelming pursuit and blockade of Crookshanks and Garlon at the same time.

Since the beginning of summer vacation, the life of the mouse Banban seems to be coming to an end. It becomes listless and looks like it will die at any time. However, Banban has persisted tenaciously until now, neither defeated by time nor becoming a meal for its natural enemy.

Banban’s life as a mouse is a little too inspiring. Compared with Bo Ran, he is simply a miracle of life and a role model for mice!
In order to prevent his pet from being eaten, Ron took great pains. Not only did he have a big quarrel with Hermione, but he also wandered around the common room chasing cats and dogs.

With the help of his dear owner, Banban's life was able to continue and he successfully made it to December, reaching a new peak in his life.

The cat-dog alliance was ruthlessly suppressed, and Scabbers was able to linger on and enjoy the rest of his life, but that was all Ron could do, and for Ron, Hogsmeade was much more attractive than a stinky rat.

Nothing serious has happened at Hogwarts since the Dementors stormed onto the Quidditch pitch and Dumbledore went berserk.

The Dementors did not cross the line again and stayed at their posts in Hogsmeade obediently; Sirius Black seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and was never seen by anyone again; even when Harry was discharged from the hospital, Draco Malfoy did not laugh at Harry's performance on the field.

There was no gossip to talk about, no excitement to watch, and campus life was just endless and boring study. Finally, in the eager anticipation of the students, they welcomed the spice of boring life - Hogsmeade weekend.

Students can take advantage of this trip to Hogsmeade to relax and buy their favorite holiday gifts for the upcoming Christmas. Students who are under great pressure can also have a few drinks to adjust themselves so that they don't cry or make a fuss for no reason.

When they woke up on Saturday morning, they found that the sky, which had been gloomy for two months, suddenly cleared up and turned into a bright and dazzling egg white color. Everyone was smiling and talking excitedly about the upcoming trip to Hogsmeade, except for the unlucky Harry.

Wrapped in a cloak and scarf, Harry once again turned into the Waiting Rock, standing blankly at the gate of the castle. The snowflakes floating outside the castle were Harry's crystal tears.

Perhaps good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone, Harry saw Ada again. Not being able to go to Hogsmeade was bad enough, and he didn't want to be hurt by his elder sister again, so he lowered his head and walked past quickly without even saying hello.

Ada sniffed hard. She was sure that she didn't have any bad smell, but why did Harry hide from her? She wasn't going to check Harry's homework, so why was she running so fast?

You can't escape the first day, and this saying is also true in Hogwarts. Harry escaped Ada, who was good at stabbing his heart, but he couldn't escape Fred and George's double knock on the door.

Harry bumped head-on with the twins, and before he could react, he found his feet hanging in the air. By the time Harry realized what was happening, he had been dragged into an empty classroom.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked cautiously, "Why aren't you going to Hogsmeade?" If he could, he wanted to shout: Brother and sister, please spare me!

The twins did not respond to Harry's question right away, but only started talking after they saw Ada lock the classroom door.

Fred said nonchalantly, "We got tired of going to Hogsmeade in our second year."

A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man. The place that Ada and the twins went to was what Harry had always dreamed of. If he could beat them, Harry would definitely let these two people know that he was not a pushover!

"We've known you for so long, but we never seem to have given you a decent gift, Harry." George didn't get straight to the point, but said something like this in line with the castle's recent decoration style. Harry was a little confused by this sentence. He didn't know what the twins wanted to express. It was a little early to give Christmas gifts!

"They both prepared Christmas gifts for you in advance." said Ada who was standing at the door.

Because of helping Harry practice the Patronus Charm, Ada has seen Harry's confused expression many times recently. To be honest, she is tired of it.

In addition to the extremely difficult Patronus Charm, Ada also taught Harry several simple and practical spells to improve Harry's self-protection ability. Every time Ada demonstrated the spell, Harry would put on a shocked face.

It’s the same Hogwarts, the same Gryffindor, and even the teachers are the same, but why are there such big differences between people?
Could it be that Ada is secretly taking extra classes outside? Is there still a chance to sign up? Please give me one too.

Fred glared at Ida, as if to blame her for being too talkative. Fred said mysteriously: "Before we leave, let's create a festive atmosphere for you and tell you what the world of big children is like!"

If Ida didn't know what the twins were going to do, she would have some strange associations with this sentence. After all, the twins started studying the profound question of "how did people come into this world" when they were in the second grade.

Thirteen-year-old Harry was still very innocent, maybe he was really innocent, or maybe he was pretending to be innocent. On his face there was only interest in the gifts, nothing else.

After seeing the twins take out an old parchment, Harry was confused again. The expression on his face was exactly the same as Ada's at the beginning, asking: What is this?

“Don’t make such a familiar expression.” George patted the parchment lovingly. “This is not ordinary parchment, but the secret of our success!”

"I really hate to give it to you," Fred said, "but it's obvious that you need it more than we do now!"

Confused, puzzled, and puzzled, Harry really didn't see how special this parchment, which was treasured by the twins, was. Harry asked in confusion: "But why do I need an old piece of parchment?"

"An old piece of parchment!" Fred closed his eyes and grimaced, as if he was deeply hurt by what Harry had said. "Explain yourself, George."

"It's like this... When we were in first year, Harry... was young, carefree, in two words - green..."

Soon, George explained to Harry the origin of the parchment, including how they got it, how they discovered the secret hidden in it, and how he achieved success through it.

"You're keeping me in suspense," said Harry, staring at the worn piece of parchment.

"Oh, Harry, that's the smartest thing you've said in nearly a month."

Ada's words floated softly across the room and reached Harry's ears. Harry scratched his hair in embarrassment, which made his already bad hairstyle even worse.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." George tapped the parchment with his wand.

In an instant, the old parchment underwent a drastic change. Thin ink lines continued to spread, and everything about Hogwarts appeared on the paper.
