The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 379: Girls' Leader (Thanks to Alliance Leader Baba)
On the morning of September 1, the Burrow was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere of the end of the holiday. It was raining heavily outside the window, and the big raindrops were hitting the window.

Mrs. Weasley was clattering about the Burrow, hurrying everyone through their packing and making sure nothing was left behind, while Mr. Weasley was by the fire, discussing work with Amos Diggory, who was hanging in the flames.

The two were talking about Alastor Moody, a retired Auror from the Ministry of Magic. It seemed that Moody thought he had been attacked and had caused some trouble. His Muggle neighbors even called the police, but the people at the Ministry of Magic didn't seem to take it seriously.

Bertha Jorkins had been missing for so long that all the staff at the Ministry knew that this colleague was missing, but no one had ever thought of looking for her. Now Moody claimed that he had been attacked, and the Ministry of Magic also ignored it.

The wizards in the magic world are really kind. They actually allowed such a Ministry of Magic to exist for so long...

Mr. Weasley hurriedly left the Burrow after stuffing two mouthfuls of bread. Only he could exonerate Moody and save the retired Auror from punishment.

Alastor Moody, an Auror with outstanding achievements, was the one who captured half of the people in Azkaban prison. But such an Auror has now become crazy, and everyone calls him Mad-Eyes.

This was not the first time that Moody had gotten into trouble. He seemed to have really become abnormal. He always felt neurotically that someone wanted to harm him. Whether it was paranoia or post-traumatic stress disorder, Ada was not sure, but she felt sorry for Moody.

Mr. Weasley was not around, so Bill and Charlie decided to take everyone to school instead of their father, but how to get there was a problem, as the green Anglia was still running freely in the Forbidden Forest!

Eventually, Ada and Hermione went to the village and used the phone at the village post office to order three Muggle taxis to travel to King's Cross Station in London.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. In the pouring rain, the taxi driver stuffed six heavy Hogwarts boxes into the trunk. After a little hardship, everyone finally squeezed into the taxi, and the taxi driver's face was full of despair.

The noisy owls, the cats that scratched people with their sharp claws, the dogs that got on and off the bus, the magical fireworks that exploded by themselves... This experience was enough to make the driver unforgettable for a lifetime.

The rain in London was even heavier, and when they got off the train at King's Cross Station, everyone was soaked. They could only hide in the corner and queue up for Bill and Charlie to dry their clothes.

After squeezing sideways through the partition wall, Platform Nine and Three Quarters appeared again. The Hogwarts Express was already parked there. It was a crimson steam locomotive that was spewing out thick smoke.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Weasley, Bill and Charlie, Charlie approached Ada mysteriously and whispered, "I think we'll meet soon."

Ada was confused. She asked, "Are you going back to Hogwarts? What for?"

"You will know," Charlie said, "Then you will know what I am going to do. Come on, you must win the Triwizard Tournament trophy, Ada."

The engine's pistons made a loud hissing sound and the train gradually started moving. Bill and Charlie stood on the platform and waved goodbye to their younger brother and sister on the train.

"Oh, I really hope I can go back to Hogwarts this year, it will be a very interesting year!" Bill said, with his hands in his pockets, looking at the train with a melancholy look on his face.

"Want to make a bet, Bill?" Charlie said, "I bet Ada will become the champion of Hogwarts and win the championship."

"Even the nerdy Percy knows how amazing Ada is. I'm not stupid." Bill looked at his brother unhappily, "What an enviable talent!"

The train turned a corner and disappeared from the sight of Mrs. Weasley, Bill and Charlie. The people on the train also could not see the platform. The new school year began in the heavy rain.

On the train, Ada and the twins found Angelina and the others, sat together and talked for a few words. Then Ada changed into her school uniform and walked out of the carriage. She needed to attend the prefect meeting.

After passing through the carriages, Ada came to the prefect's box. When she opened the door, she saw that there were already quite a few people sitting in the box, and some unfamiliar faces. They were probably the prefects who had just been elected this year. The badge of the male student union president was pinned on the chest of a seventh-year Ravenclaw student. Several students in the box stood up. Ada was now very famous in the school, but not many people had really met her. These new fifth-year prefects were a little restrained. Cedric greeted Ada in a familiar manner, and Cody Avery also smiled and greeted Ada.

"We were just wondering who will be the female student union president this year, and you just happened to be here," said Cedric.

"We can't seem to think of anyone else who could do the job except you," Cody Avery flattered.

In the discussion in the box just now, everyone was indeed more optimistic about Ada. The position of student union president is usually held by seventh-year students, but no one has ever said that sixth-year students cannot hold it. Besides, no one except Professor McGonagall can control Ada. Choosing someone else to be the female student union president would be embarrassing!

After a while, more and more people came into the box, all the class leaders arrived, and the meeting officially began.

The male student union president from Ravenclaw presided over the meeting and said some random things, which were nothing more than nonsense about cooperating with professors to do a good job in student management, which is also the main work of student self-government.

After speaking for a while, the Head Boy said, "I'm done, Drizzt. Do you have anything to add?"

Normally, at this time, Ida should have said, "Then I'll say a few words," and then it would get out of control until everyone couldn't stand the whistling anymore. But is Ida an ordinary person? She is not, although she does want to say a few words.

Ada looked around at the heads of the prefects, and then she said, "Some of you are familiar with me, and some are not, but I hope you can all follow what I say next and not let anything unpleasant happen in our cooperation."

As soon as these words came out, the prefects immediately said that they would definitely follow the Chairman's instructions and would never disobey. Even if they were not familiar with Ada, they should have at least heard of Ada's reputation (bad reputation) in Hogwarts. If they went against her, they would not end up well!

"Very good." Ada said, "Some of you know what big things are happening at Hogwarts this year, and some of you don't. It doesn't matter if you don't know, just listen to me."

Ada continued, "This year the school will hold a very important event, and students from other schools will come to Hogwarts. I hope you can do your part and maintain the school's discipline."

"What about Fred and George?" Cedric asked at the right time. He saw the hidden look Ada gave him.

Others who did not see or understand Ada's eyes all looked at Cedric in surprise. Everyone in the school knew about the relationship between Ada and the Weasley twins. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to the new chairman to mention the twins at this time?
But what Ada said next surprised everyone. Ada said seriously: "We will never tolerate any mistakes made by the two Mr. Weasleys and will punish them severely!"

Did they have another falling out? Everyone was so superficial in their thinking that they simply thought that Ada and the twins had had a quarrel.

Only Cedric understood what Ada meant. The prerequisite for violating school rules at Hogwarts is to be caught. If you are not caught, you can set fire to the castle and it will be fine.

The Head Girl is on guard herself, how can anyone catch Fred and George?
"Secondly, I hope you can remember your identities. You are first and foremost a student of Hogwarts." Ada raised her voice to emphasize this point. "If there are any conflicts or contradictions between students from our school and students from other schools this year, you must protect our students, no matter if they are right or wrong."

"I don't want to see any student at Hogwarts suffer. If there is any mistake, we will teach it ourselves. No one else needs to intervene." Ida tapped the table twice with her knuckles. "Do you understand?"

The class leaders nodded one after another. They all knew that Ada was protective of her students, and this year everyone finally felt it.

"Ada, any students including Slytherins?" Cody Avery suddenly raised his hand and asked.
