The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 365 Unexpected Guest

It is difficult to grow up without poverty, and you are naive without fighting.

Under Ida's relentless attack and the repeated impact of "beautiful flowers", Hector finally got over the shadow of his broken heart. If Hector still couldn't get over it, Ida would have to ask Henry to help.

Ida didn't know how Henry, who had an equally strange way of thinking, would comfort Hector, but she estimated that Henry would open a door to a new world for the naive Hector...

Life in Rose Manor was peaceful and tranquil. Vida would walk the dog, take a walk, or feed the fish in the fish tank. Vida finally realized the joy of raising a dog, especially when the dog ran towards her.

It’s really thoughtful of Ada. There are so many dogs in the yard, but not a single Husky.

Ada was also enjoying this hard-earned peace. Since the beginning of the holiday, she had not even opened her textbooks. She would sleep until the sun was high in the sky every day, and her first meal of the day became lunch. She wandered around all day, and was just short of carrying a bird cage.

If I hadn't seen Hector doing homework in his room, Ida would have forgotten that Hogwarts was also a summer homework. She hadn't even opened the textbook, let alone homework. She hadn't written a single letter.

If Hogwarts is a school and a workplace, and will one day become a battlefield in the future, then Vida and Rose Manor are Ada's safe haven, where she can rest.

During this time, Ada and the twins have been writing letters to each other, sharing interesting things in life. The twins have been locking themselves in their room during this holiday and continuing their joke toy experiments.

In fact, Fred and George have already produced many products and have also conducted small-scale trial sales in schools, which have received rave reviews. However, due to the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination, they have suspended production and research and development, so they plan to make up for the "wasted" time this summer.

In the twins' letter, Ada also learned that Harry was still living at the Dursleys' house this summer. Ada thought he would be with Sirius and Lupin, and the three of them would travel around the world together, but it turned out that he was still living at the Dursleys' house, which was a bit strange.

Another thing Fred and George mentioned repeatedly in their letters was the Quidditch World Cup. They reminded Ada to return to England as soon as possible so that everyone could watch the final together.

The English Quidditch team has never disappointed people in terms of disappointment. In the game a few days ago, they lost to the Transylvanian team by 10 to 390. This was not a game at all, but a massacre.

The Three Cats Army lived up to its reputation. When she learned the result of the game, Ada even thought about where Transylvania was for a long time, and then she remembered that this place belonged to Romania.

In mid-July, Ada received her Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination results. Passing all of them was no problem, and Ada even got full A's, and even got an A in Herbology by a narrow margin.

You know, during the herbology practical exam, Ada almost messed up her exam. She thought she could only get an "E" at best!

Vida was very satisfied with the report card, and she gave Ada a small reward, allowing Ada to drink some butter beer. But what Ada got was not a bottle of butter beer, but a pitiful glass.

Everything is afraid of comparison, and comparison hurts. Looking at Lola and Hector, who had just become an adult, drinking happily, while Ada could only drink a glass of butter beer, the gap between them was really sad.

That morning, the sun had already risen in late July, and it was sunburnt enough to expose her buttocks, but Ada still stayed in bed and refused to get up. Ada, who was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, had actually woken up a long time ago, but she just didn't want to get up.

From time to time, Ada waved her hands and cast a spell to lower the temperature in the room. The weather was too hot, making people irritable. Ada, who was fuzzy, kept muttering "air conditioning" in the air. She now hoped that Willis Carrier was also a wizard.

The summer of 1873 is one of the three hottest summers since France began keeping weather records in 1994. Moreover, the sunshine time in France is very long. It is bright at or in the morning and it is not dark until in the evening. I feel so blue and want to use air conditioning.
Just as Ada was lying on the bed, kicking her legs because of the heat, Lola Fournier appeared in the bedroom and saw Ada being beaten.

Laura leaned against the bed and said, “Miss, can’t you check the time? What time is it? Why don’t you get up?”

"It's too hot outside. I don't want to move." Ada said lazily, "It's great that you're here, Laura. Please bring me a pot of iced juice, the coldest kind!" After saying that, Ada waved goodbye to Laura.

“Of course, you are the ancestor, you have the final say.” Laura said as she turned and left the bedroom.

But when Laura walked to the door, she suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, a man came to the manor today, and Vida is meeting him in the Sun Hall."

Hearing the word "sun", Ada immediately felt the temperature in the bedroom rise. The sun and the man had nothing to do with her, unless the man was called Willis Carrier.

Seeing that Ada still refused to get up, Laura had to continue to add to the ante. She continued: "This man is from across the sea. He has a pair of blue eyes. He said his name is Albus..."

Before Laura could say the word "Dumbledore", she felt a gust of wind passing by her. Ada was no longer on the bed. Ada rushed out of the bedroom like the wind.

The man coming from the other side of the sea had a pair of blue eyes. Ada had a bad feeling even before she heard "Albus". So Ada jumped out of bed, rushed out without combing her hair or washing her face, and didn't even have time to put on her slippers.

Ada was afraid that if she was a step late, Vader would start fighting with Dumbledore. It would be so exciting to see her grandmother fighting against her headmaster!
Lola picked up the slippers beside Ada's bed like an old nanny and followed the wind out of the bedroom. Lola chased after her, shouting, "Slippers, you haven't put on your slippers yet!"

The weather was so hot that Ada would sweat every time she moved. She rushed to the first floor and to the Sun Room in a hurry.

Ada, panting, pushed the door open, and then she saw Vida and Dumbledore sitting opposite each other. The two of them did not blush at all, but were talking happily. There was iced lemon juice and French specialties on the coffee table.

It was unbelievable. Judging from Vader's previous attitude towards Dumbledore and the howler letter, Ada thought that when Vader met Dumbledore, it would definitely be a scene of Mars hitting the Earth.

But what the hell is going on between the two of them now? Not only are they not arguing, but Dumbledore's face hasn't been scratched by Vader. Instead, they are talking and laughing. Is it because the way they opened the door was wrong?
Under the surprised gazes of Vida and Dumbledore, Ada quietly left the room and closed the door. Just as the door was closed, Ada opened the door and walked in again under their surprised gazes.

Nothing changed. The two people did not quarrel and lived in peace. The French specialty on the coffee table was not baguettes, but crepes from Brittany.

"Ada!" Vida shouted in reproach, "How can you come down to meet guests dressed like this!"

Whether Vida was really criticizing Ada or emphasizing that Dumbledore was a guest was a matter of opinion. It was indeed outrageous for a girl who was about to turn seventeen to come out barefoot to meet a guest in just a nightgown.

At this moment, the "old lady" Laura also chased after her with slippers in her hand and dropped them at Ada's feet. Ada lowered her head in embarrassment, put on her slippers, and quietly left the room again.

After closing the door, Ada realized that she was a little sticky and uncomfortable. Just running for such a short distance, Ada was sweating all over. Her long golden hair was sticking to her face and she was sweating all over.

Ada finally understood why the two people in the room didn't fight. It was simply because the weather was too hot!
