The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 318 Prefect’s Bathroom

The dung egg, a product you can find in any joke shop in the wizarding world, is the most popular prank toy in the wizarding world. Of course, the dung egg is not real, it is just made to look like that and add that flavor.

No one likes to play with it for real, unless they are seriously ill. The explosion of the dung egg will produce a loud noise, but it will not hurt anyone. People who use it to make pranks do it for the bionic products that will be sprayed out after the explosion, and the unforgettable smell.

Fred and George, who were hiding behind the wall, both clenched their fists to celebrate their victory, while Ada, who was standing by, rolled her eyes in an unseemly manner. The handkerchief she used to cover her face was useless, and it didn't block any smell. The foul smell kept getting into Ada's nose, making her head hurt. She almost vomited out tomorrow's breakfast.

The strong smell not only explains why the dung balls are so popular, but also shows how cruel Fred and George are, because they prepared not just one dung ball for Filch, but several!
The reason why only one loud bang was heard was because they exploded almost at the same time, and Ada's ears could not distinguish the interval between their explosions.

After the loud noise, Filch's furious howls and Mrs. Norris's screams were finally heard. Ada and the twins took advantage of the school administrator's shock and anger to escape.

By the time Filch regained consciousness and wanted to catch the attackers, they had already run away, leaving Filch no chance at all.

In the whole school, the only people who dared to do such a thing were Fred and George. And it happened right after he checked their belongings. Filch naturally knew that the twins were the culprits, but he had no evidence at all.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall would not let Filch punish the students without evidence, and he could only watch the perpetrators go unpunished. Moreover, Fred and George had the prefects to prove that they had nothing to do with the "Administrator's Office Bombing".

While Filch was in a state of impotent rage, the three people who were fleeing on the other side had gradually slowed down their pace. Ada also tore off her handkerchief and pinned the prefect badge back on her chest.

After the work is done, leave in silence, and hide your name and body. Ada and the twins did the same, but they could not hide their name and body. Although they were far away from the center of the "explosion", the stench still lingered, and the smell had already stained their bodies.

The twins had misjudged the power of half a dozen dung balls, which had led to their current predicament. Whenever someone passed by them, they would surely ask with glee, "Is this your first time playing with dung balls?"

It wasn't the first time for the twins to play with the big dung balls, but it was the first time for them to detonate half a dozen at the same time, which caused the car to overturn and the three of them were also stained with the smell. There was no choice but to temporarily change the destination of the three people, replacing the common room with the bathroom.

Although they both wanted to wash off the smell on their bodies, Ada and the twins went in different directions. Fred and George could only go to the ordinary boys' bathroom, while Ada went to the exclusive bathroom that only class leaders could use.

Same purpose, but instantly becomes more sophisticated.

Ada sneaked all the way to the sixth floor of the castle, fearing that she would run into other people and be smelled by them. Who knows what kind of rumors would spread at that time! It was not until she stood to the left of the statue of Confused Boris that Ada felt relieved.

After saying the password, Ada entered the rest room of the prefect's bathroom through the hidden secret door. In addition to isolating others, this secret door will also take you directly to an unused bathroom.

No one knew how many cubicles were hidden behind this door, but there were never any queues for the bathrooms here. According to the house-elves, each of these hidden bathrooms was laid out identically, with every item in a familiar place.

In the spacious rest room, Ada took off her dirty clothes and put them in the black cabinet in the corner. This cabinet was not a locker, but a special cabinet in the prefect's bathroom. After putting clothes in it, they would be cleaned, which was better than a washing machine. When Ada came back, clean and fragrant clothes would be waiting for her in the cabinet.

After putting away her personal belongings, Ada wrapped herself in a towel and pushed open the bathroom door. The luxurious chandelier hanging from the ceiling immediately lit up, casting a warm and soft light on the room. The decorations here are all made of white marble, and in the middle is a bathtub sunken into the ground, where you can even swim.

There were about a hundred golden faucets beside the rectangular bathtub, and each faucet handle was inlaid with a gem of a different color. Ada snapped her fingers, and some of the faucets began to release water in unison, and soon the rectangular bathtub was filled.

With a fluffy towel on her head, Ada threw herself into the bathtub. The water temperature was just what she liked best, and colorful bubbles surrounded her. Just for this bathroom, Ada was determined to be the prefect, even if Merlin came!
This bathroom is the crystallization of many magics, which is why it is so famous. It is no wonder that wizards look down on Muggles. Magic has indeed brought a lot of convenience to wizards' lives. However, too many wizards have lost their enterprising spirit, causing the magic world to stagnate and gradually become what it is today.

In the hot, foamy water, Ada closed her eyes and stretched her muscles, surrounded by colorful mist. Although she did not shout "Eureka", this environment is really suitable for thinking.

Especially when you can't calm down, this place will cut off all external interference and let you focus on what you want. Abandoning distractions, clearing your mind, not thinking about Professor Lupin, nor thinking about Sirius Black, just analyzing yourself, Ada feels that she seems to be getting more and more impatient recently.

Thinking about it carefully, Ada felt that this change in herself was not recent. When dealing with the basilisk's legacy, all her choices were a bit hasty. Whether it was the negotiation with Mr. Borgin or the final ambush on those men, all the arrangements were not detailed enough.

Without an accurate understanding of the enemy's strength, Ada easily exposed her identity, just because she thought she could keep them all. What if the enemy could escape under her attack?
In addition, basilisks are not common, and if Mr. Borgin really pursues them to the end, Ada's identity will also be exposed. At that time, the initiative will be in the hands of others, and losing the advantage of initiative is not a good thing.

Fortunately, Mr. Borgin was frightened, and as a man of great wealth and power, he had no intention of destroying his own company.

Ada showed the negative effects of the increase in strength. Her high self-esteem and impatience could deal her a fatal blow at a critical moment, or make her regret for the rest of her life.

When dealing with the Alan Rosier and Vincent Rosier incidents, Ada's approach was also not calm enough. If it weren't for Vida cleaning up the mess for her, she would have been in trouble. How could she have thought about the prisoners of Azkaban and my werewolf professor?

It is not wrong to live according to one's own will, but being according to one's own will is not the same as being willful or reckless. Fortunately, Ada's impatience was just a beginning, and the hidden dangers were resolved; fortunately, Ada discovered the changes in herself in time and did not fall into the abyss and make a big mistake.

Ada closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace. All her worries disappeared at this moment.

On the bathroom wall hung a painting in a gilded frame of a blonde mermaid napping on a rock, her long hair falling across her face and trembling with every breath she took.

The person outside the painting closed his eyes, but the mermaid in the painting slowly opened her eyes and looked at the girl in the pool curiously.
