The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 370 Return to the Burrow
The purpose of Ada's coming to Nurmengard this time was simply to visit Grindelwald. She had no other thoughts except to repay her gratitude.

Perhaps in Grindelwald's eyes, he had only done a trivial thing and said a few words, but for Ada, these words were like a revelation, and made Ada suddenly realize.

Anyone who corrects a word or a sentence can be called a teacher. Grindelwald said a lot of things and can be respected as a teacher. It's just that Ada can't call him that, and Grindelwald won't recognize him.

This created an awkward atmosphere in Nurmengard Castle. Clearly both of them wanted to ask about the other's recent situation and show concern for each other, but neither of them could open their mouths or wipe their faces, and in the end they could only stare at each other.

Grindelwald probably never imagined in his life that one day he would be tongue-tied, and in front of a girl who was almost a hundred years younger than him.

As for Ada, when she faced Snape, she realized that she was tongue-tied. In other words, she was used to it. Dumbledore and Grindelwald were both old foxes. It was not shameful to be defeated by them, and it was not shameful to be speechless by them.

The number of ways to write the word "卉" is not the most important thing, what is important is the method of spiritual victory. It doesn't matter if you can't win the argument, as long as you are not brainwashed by them, it is your own victory, as long as you feel that you have won, you have not lost!

But Ada has now mastered the skills, and she is not without any chance of winning. She just needs to pull the opponent into the field she is good at, and then use her familiarity and experience in this field to defeat them.

So, on the second night in Nurmengard, a very heated discussion broke out between Grindelwald and Ada about when the productivity of Muggles surpassed that of wizards.

At first, the two of them argued back and forth, but the balance of victory was slowly shifting towards Ada.

Although Ada did not live to be over a hundred years old, she was still able to refute Grindelwald speechless with her understanding of Muggles and the knowledge points she had memorized.

For every word Grindelwald said, Ada had ten words waiting for him. The Industrial Revolution, the steam engine, the spinning jenny, the technological revolution, the new energy, all were thrown at Grindelwald.

Especially now that computers have gradually become part of the homes of ordinary people, it has become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Although the victory was unfair, Ada didn't mind at all that her victory was not so glorious. After saying "magic is the last fig leaf of wizards", she walked away, leaving Grindelwald in deep thought.

On the third morning in Nurmengard, after thinking hard all night, Grindelwald finally came up with a way to refute Ada, so he rushed to Ada's room impatiently.

Grindelwald knocked on the door, but there was no response. Grindelwald called Ada's name, but there was still no response. Grindelwald had no choice but to push the door open, but there was no sign of Ada in the room. Not only in the room, but also in the entire Nurmengard.

After finally winning once, in order to prevent Grindelwald from making a comeback, Ada ran away with the bucket before dawn today. This was also the first time in all these years that Ada successfully left without saying goodbye.

Ada left a gift for Grindelwald in the room, which was a photo of her and Vida. But after eating the big melon of the wizarding world, Ada had already realized that the first Dark Lord might need a photo of Dumbledore more.

How about giving Grindelwald a box of chocolate frogs next time you come to Nurmengard?
===Separating line===
The Burrow was very lively today because the Weasley family welcomed three guests in the morning, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Harry Potter.

Just after Harry's birthday, Sirius and Lupin appeared at the door of number four Privet Drive, which scared the Dursleys.

Just imagine, at midnight, two strange wizards knocked on your door, and one of them was a murderer. Would the Dursleys not be scared?

This summer vacation, Harry had a happier time than last year. He went to a tropical island with Sirius and Lupin for vacation, drinking coconut juice while enjoying the sunshine, beach and waves there.

The tropical sunbathing seemed to have a healing effect. Although the three of them were obviously darker, they looked much healthier. After a few months of recuperation, Sirius had regained some of the charm that had once fascinated thousands of girls. And he was a little different from when he was young. Now he had the charm of a mature and handsome uncle, and most importantly, he had no belly.

Remus Lupin did the same. He changed out of his old robe that was covered in patches. This made Professor Lupin look a lot younger and more bookish. He was also the handsome uncle type that girls liked.

As the Quidditch World Cup final was approaching, the duo of charming middle-aged uncles brought their burden Harry to the Burrow, ready to watch the World Cup with everyone.

At noon, Bill and Charlie were setting the dining table in the yard, but the eldest and second sons of the Weasley family did not act like brothers at all.

The two of them drew their wands and set two tattered old tables flying across the lawn, crashing into each other, each trying to knock the other out of the air.

Fred and George cheered, Ginny laughed, and Hermione wandered by the fence, looking amused but also nervous, not knowing what to do.

It was not Mrs. Weasley who stopped this prank, but Percy, the third son of the Weasley family.

Percy, who had just started working, was even more irritable than when he was preparing for the Ultimate Wizarding Level Exam. This summer he even lost his temper because someone was talking loudly in the Burrow.

However, neither Bill and Charlie, who were older than Percy, nor the twins, Ginny, and Ron, who were younger than Percy, took Percy's temper seriously. They continued to do their own thing, playing and making noise as they pleased.

At around eleven o'clock, the two tables were groaning under the weight of the delicious dishes made by Mrs. Weasley. The nine members of the Weasley family, Harry and Hermione all sat down, as well as the duo of middle-aged charming uncles who ate and drank for free.

Just as everyone was preparing to enjoy lunch, a very familiar voice was heard outside the Burrow.

"Do I have such low status in this family now? You don't even wait for me when I eat!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ada standing outside the courtyard gate, looking at them with a pretended sad look.

Mrs. Weasley left her seat, walked to Ada, and gave this little girl in her eyes a big hug. When Mrs. Weasley first met Ada, she was still a thin and short girl, but now she is much taller than Mrs. Weasley.

"Mom, ignore her!" Fred yelled, "Miss Drizzt has betrayed us further!"

Charlie asked curiously, "Did something happen in the past few years since I graduated that I don't know about?"

Before Ada could speak, George answered for her. He said, "It was this woman who got the position of Head Girl! Is Dumbledore's eyes blurry?"

"My dear, that's great!" Mrs. Weasley gave Ada another hug. "There are already three head boy presidents in the family!"

Everyone in the Weasley family looked at the twins, and Harry and Hermione also looked at the twin brothers. Their eyes seemed to say: In and out together, advance and retreat together, Ada is already the president of the student union, what about you two?
Sirius and Lupin looked at each other, and the charming middle-aged uncle group seemed to remember the past, when Sirius was naughty and mischievous, Lupin was the head of Gryffindor, and James was the president of the Student Union.
