The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 36 Ada's Prophecy
That night, Ada, Fred and George gathered in the common room, and when no one was paying attention, the three of them slipped out quietly.

Ada and the other two came to the fifth floor with the help of the [Disillusionment Spell] and the Marauder's Map. Since the curfew had long passed, they did not meet other students along the way. They also did not meet Filch and his cat. At this moment, Filch was patrolling the third floor, and Mrs. Norris was far away.

The three of them entered the secret passage one after another, with Ada leading the way and the twins following closely behind. However, the three of them did not stay in the secret passage for too long, and they turned around and went back.

There was no indication on the Marauder's Map that there were additional secret rooms in the secret passage, so Ada felt more balanced.

Ada and the twins left here to check other secret passages marked on the map. They didn't know when the map was made, so it was even more necessary for them to check these secret passages in person.

However, when the three of them were checking the new secret passage, they were almost discovered by Filch. If Professor McGonagall had not noticed Filch's movements on the map in advance, her sleep would have been disturbed again.

Ada, Fred and George left the secret passage in advance and hid quietly aside. After a while, they saw Filch coming.

He first looked for something on the ground, and then entered the secret passage. Obviously, when Ada and the other two entered the secret passage, they destroyed the mark left by Filch in advance.

This secret passage can be abandoned now. Filch knows about it and has marked it in advance. Anyone who enters here will be discovered by him while patrolling. This secret passage is no longer a secret.

The three of them didn't say anything in the corridor until they returned to the common room where they started chatting.

"Filch seems to know the school very well, but I don't know what secret passage he knows?" Ada asked.

The twins shook their heads in unison. They were also very curious about this. They really underestimated the "old good-for-nothing" Filch. He was indeed quite capable.

"Does he know where the Whomping Willow is?" George said with a sly smile after recalling the locations of several secret passages.

"I hope he knew that I really want to see him being beaten by the Whomping Willow." Fred burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh, I already have the picture..." Ada also thought of it, and seemed to see the scene of Filch being beaten and hit by the thick branches of the Whomping Willow.

Ada, who usually doesn't laugh, couldn't hold it back any longer, and she started to giggle along with the twins. The originally quiet lounge instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The three people who were laughing so hard that tears were about to come out finally stopped. It was not because they did not respect the old man Filch, but some of the things he did were really unpleasant.

The holiday is over and we need to get up early to attend classes tomorrow. After the three of us made an appointment to have breakfast together, we went back to rest.

The next day, Ada got up early and sat in the lounge, memorizing the spell while waiting for the twins to come down. But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see the twins, so she knew that the two must be sleeping in and might not come down for a while.

Ada didn't want to wait any longer, so she went straight into the boys' dormitory.

Seeing Ada suddenly appear here, the male students were all startled, making the dormitory a mess. They were still young, if Gryffindor had a dormitory manager, these male students should have been used to it long ago.

Ada, who had been keeping her eyes fixed on the road, finally arrived at the twins' dormitory after going through all the chaos. It happened that one of the twins' roommates was about to leave, so she didn't have to knock on the door.

Under the surprised gaze of the male classmate, Ada walked in directly without any embarrassment. She saw Fred, George and Lee Jordan sleeping soundly in their beds, unaware of Ada's visit.

Although the dormitory was a bit messy, fortunately there was no strange smell or the smell of heather, so Ada put down her right hand that was covering her mouth and nose.

She first walked to Fred's bed and pinched his nose. Fred, who was having trouble breathing, woke up instantly and looked at Ada in front of him with a confused face.

Fred was a little bit unbelieving. He rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands, then suddenly pulled up the quilt to protect himself.

"How will you be here?"

"Who? Fred, what did you say? Who's there?" George sat up immediately after hearing his brother's voice. After seeing Ada, he hugged the quilt in front of him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"What's wrong... why are you yelling... can't you let me sleep..." The voice came from the only person in the room who was still awake.

"You two, get up!" Ada clapped her hands and said to the twins with a look of disgust, "Put away the shy expressions on your faces. This expression is not suitable for the two of you."

"Why is there a girl's voice... Am I dreaming?" Lee Jordan, who was still immersed in his sleep, muttered in a daze.

Ada grabbed Fred's pillow and threw it directly at Lee Jordan who was talking nonsense. Lee Jordan, who was hit by the pillow, finally opened his eyes and made the same movements as the twins after waking up.

"How did you get here?" the three confused twins and Lee Jordan said in unison, in true 3D surround sound.

"Meet in the common room in ten minutes. Any questions?" Ada was holding a book in her hand, looking like she was ready to throw it out at any time.

The three of them nodded at the same time, not daring to refute, but their hands did not move.

"You're so slow, is ten minutes too much?" Ida threatened, weighing the book in her hand. "Can you please go out first?" Fred made a humble request.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in looking at your small bodies. I'm afraid I'll get stye." Ada said disdainfully, but she still left the dormitory and closed the door.

After another chaotic experience, Ada returned to the common room.

Five minutes later, the neatly dressed twins appeared in front of the leisurely Ada, and, yes, Lee Jordan too.

In the auditorium, Fred asked again about what had just happened. He said, "Why are you in the boys' dormitory?"

George and Lee Jordan also looked at Ada. Angelina and Alia also looked at her curiously. Ada nodded to them to indicate that she had indeed gone.

The expressions of the two girls became interesting, three parts of surprise, three parts of blame and four parts as if asking why they were not brought along. It was the same old fan-shaped diagram.

"Of course I asked you to come and eat together, what else?" Ada said indifferently while drinking porridge. You know what, the cooking skills of the house elves are really good.

"We know that, but what we're asking is how did you get in?" George asked, craning his neck.

"I walked in..." After seeing the three boys looking like they wanted to strangle her, Ada could only tell the truth, "Girls can enter the boys' dormitory at Hogwarts."

"Then..." A boy sitting nearby suddenly interrupted. He had an unrealistic idea.

"But boys can't enter the girls' dormitory." Ada added another knife while tearing the bread.

The twins, Lee Jordan, and several other boys nearby all said in unison, "That's not fair!"

It's so cold! When will the male students of Hogwarts stand up again?
"How do you know?" Alia asked curiously, pulling Ada's sleeve.

"During the holidays, I always go to the library with Senior Smith. She is a very talkative person."

"Is there anything else interesting?" The twins quickly walked out of the shadows. They were now more curious about what the senior said to Ada.

"Does it matter if Snape doesn't like to wash his hair?" Ada glanced at Snape sitting in the teacher's seat, and immediately lowered her head. After all, there was no need to be mean about breakfast.

"Can this be counted? Isn't this something that everyone recognizes?"

"Then Filch..." Ada was interrupted by the twins before she could finish her words.

The twins said together, "No one knows Filch better than we do."

"That's okay. Senior Smith is not like you. She plans to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future." Ada said.

The senior named Smith did talk to her a lot, but it was basically about study and work, topics that first-year students would basically not be interested in.

Fred said disapprovingly, "Dad works for the Ministry of Magic."

George had the same expression on his face, and he added, "I work so hard from morning till night, but the income is not that good."

Looking at the two second-generation officials in front of her, Ada said, "Maybe one day the Weasley family will have a Minister of Magic? For example, Percy?"

"Stop it, it's impossible for Percy to be an official in his life." George waved his hands in disgust.

Fred started swearing and swearing, saying, "If Percy becomes Minister of Magic I will eat your favorite armchair!"

Percy is Percy, what do you say about that armchair? What did the armchair do wrong? Ada thought.

"I heard from my family that the Ministry of Magic is going to have a change of leadership," Lee Jordan said. "Minister Millicent Barnold is going to resign."

Several boys started discussing who would be the next Minister of Magic. I don’t know if they were really straight or they just never grew up to discuss this in front of the girls.

The twins had little interest in the topic, as they preferred the joke shop to the Ministry of Magic.

It would be even better if I could open my own joke shop!
