The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 460 Unexpected
The sky was clear and blue. With the swing of the clock's pendulum and the jingling of the time, the sunset climbed up the horizon unnoticed.

Ada leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, thinking. She held the letter from the twins in her right hand and tapped the armrest of the chair with her left hand. In the silent melody, Ada thought about the last sentence in the letter.

She didn't know why Dumbledore was in a hurry to find her to go back. She had corresponded with the headmaster during the holidays.

The first time was when Dumbledore asked Ada to receive Hagrid, and the most recent time was a week ago when the headmaster warned her not to act rashly.

From Dumbledore's letter, Ada knew that he had convened an organization called the Order of the Phoenix. When Voldemort provoked the first war, Dumbledore relied on the Order of the Phoenix to resist the second generation of the Dark Lord.

Ada didn't have any special feelings about the name "Order of the Phoenix". She neither liked it nor hated it.

Albus Dumbledore has a phoenix named Fawkes; it is said that his patronus is also a phoenix, but Ada has never seen it; it is also said that whenever any Dumbledore needs help, the phoenix will descend.

So there is nothing wrong with calling the organization founded by Albus Dumbledore the Order of the Phoenix, it is very reasonable.

However, Ada felt that shouting "This is an order from the Order of the Phoenix" was not domineering enough, nor was it intimidating enough, and it was not very satisfying.

But after thinking about the figure and appearance of Birmingham boxing champion Arthur, and then thinking about Mr. Weasley's figure and appearance, Ada felt that the Order of the Phoenix should be the Order of the Phoenix.

After all, the fog over London wasn't the smoke of the Order of the Phoenix, and Dumbledore's blood wasn't running with whiskey. It could have been iced lemonade or a bunch of cockroaches.

The sunset glow in the sky was as red as a burning flame, dazzling people. At this time, familiar footsteps were heard in the suite.

"Nerd, it's time for dinner." Laura leaned against the door and said, "Henry and Hector are here too."

Ida sat up and put away the twins' letter. "Why is he here?" Ida was asking about Henry. She had hardly seen Henry during this holiday. Her cousin seemed to be very busy recently.

"I don't know. You can ask him later." Laura shrugged. "But I suggest you don't get into trouble."

Seeing that Ada looked very interested, Laura continued, "Someone introduced a girl to Henry. She comes from an equally old family. I heard that she is pretty, but she has a bit of a spoiled brat temperament."

Ada pouted her lips. She didn't want to ask. She didn't want to listen to Henry's complaints, and she was afraid that Henry would pester her to introduce a girlfriend. Ada stood up and walked out of the suite with Laura.

"How do you know so much?" Ida asked, "Did he tell you himself?"

"No way!" Laura said, "It was Daniel. Henry told him, and then he told me."

Ada's face showed no expression. She just asked calmly, "Are Daniel and Henry on good terms?"

"Well...how should I put it..." Laura frowned and thought for a while, "Daniel has a special feeling for Henry. Daniel has liked Henry very much since he was a child."

Then, Laura added, "But you can rest assured that in Daniel's heart, Vida's orders come first. Even Henry can't make him change his mind."

Ada didn't say anything, nor did she need to say anything.

Whether Daniel Dubois is loyal or not cannot be determined by Laura, even though Ada and Laura get along very well. The existence of the system is like a scale in Ada's heart, and she just needs to be clear in her heart.

The dinner was a pleasant one. Henry did not complain during the meal. He continued to make jokes and liven up the atmosphere, showing his funny side to the fullest.

After dinner, Henry said goodbye in a hurry and returned to his apartment in Paris under the cover of night, while Hector stayed and spent the night at the manor.

Staying overnight is fine, it's normal to stay with relatives. But Ida avoided the first day, but not the fifteenth; she avoided Henry, but not Hector.

That night, Hector came to Ada's suite awkwardly. At this time, Ada picked up the bulky ancient book and studied hard.

Hector didn't say anything, and Ada didn't say anything either. They just kept on trying to see who could outlast the other. After half an hour, Hector finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stammered, "Fleur has decided to stay in the UK. She found a language course and a job there."

Ada put down the book in her hand and said, "I know this. I heard her say goodbye to Harry Potter on the day she left Hogwarts."

In fact, Fleur Delacour's English is quite good, and it is enough for writing and daily life. However, Fleur's pronunciation is still a bit problematic, and it sounds a bit sticky.

"Why, you want to go to England too?" Ada asked with a smile, "Didn't they use their connections to get you to go to the Ministry of Magic for training? If you don't report, they will break your legs!"

"I will report to the Ministry of Magic." Hector shook his head unexpectedly, his expression was depressed, "There is no point for me to continue following Fleur..."

Is this a change of character? Or is it because I am tired of love?
Ada leaned forward and carefully observed the expression on Hector's face. It didn't seem fake. Ada asked, "What's wrong? Are you giving up your Fleur Delacour so easily?"

Hector's expression became even more painful. He said sullenly, "Furong has someone over there! What's the point of me going over there in this situation?"

This sounded so aggrieved, as if Furong had cheated on him.

Fortunately, Hector was just sad and didn't cry or show any tearfulness. Otherwise, Ada would have beaten him to death.

"Do you know who it is? Do you know where you lost?" Ada asked curiously. Although it was boring to give emotional counseling to Hector, gossip was really interesting.

"William, William Weasley."

Hearing this name, Ada was stunned for a moment. She didn't seem to know a Weasley named William! Who is this?
After thinking for a while, Ada finally remembered who William Weasley was, but she was still more accustomed to calling him Bill.

He lost, and lost completely. Apart from family background and wealth, Hector had no way of catching up with Bill, so his loss was not unfair.

"How do you know? Did Furong tell you?" Ada's gossipy soul continued to burn.

"No, I discovered it myself," Hector said. "On the day of the third event, Fleur looked at Bill with a fiery gaze. She had never looked at anyone, let alone a man, in such a way!"

Ada reached out and patted Hector's shoulder symbolically, comforting her cousin who had been heartbroken again. This time, it might be a complete heartbreak.

At this time, Ada should have filled Hector's glass, but she had no wine, so she naturally couldn't let her cousin "wine bitterly, causing pain in the throat and gurgling."

Moreover, Ada's gossipy heart had been satisfied, and she was feeling sleepy and decided to burn the bridge after crossing it.

She said, "Have you finished complaining? If you are, go back and rest. If you run into Laura wandering around, you can take her out for a drink."

Anyway, Ada will never drink with Laura in her life. Whoever wants to go can go. She is the kind of person who drinks with a bucket!
Hearing this, Hector raised his head in shock, his eyes wide open, like a pair of glass balls. He said: "No, I have another thing to say!"

"Then hurry up and tell me." Ada yawned, "You don't want me to introduce you to a Muggle-born witch, do you? Please forgive me for being unable to help you."

Hector pursed his lips and clenched his fists, seeming a little conflicted.

Just as Ada yawned again, Hector said solemnly: "No matter what others say about you, I believe in you and support you! The mysterious man... is back... on, on that night..."

Unexpectedly, the first person among the Rosiers who said he supported and believed in himself would be Hector Rosier. Not Thierry, not Henry, but the inconspicuous love-brained Hector.

Ada didn't know what to say for a moment, she was stunned.
