The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 82 The Secret of the Twins
The elf Winnie has been persuading Ada, hoping that Ada will not be impulsive. But in Toller's view, this is not helping him, but the elf's "pity" for him. When did he fall to this point when he was "pitied" by a lowly house elf?
Ada's wand was pointed at Toller's face, and there was a smile on her lips as she spoke. To Toller, this smile was undoubtedly mocking him, mocking his weakness and his incompetence.

Toller wanted to take out his wand to resist, but could he really hold the wand tightly with his shaking hands? Was he really a match for the mudblood in front of him? Ada was a crazy woman, she could cast a spell on his head at any time!
Threatened by the wand against his face and surrounded by fear, Toller was afraid. He didn't dare to continue the stalemate. The force of the wand poking his face was getting stronger and stronger. He felt that Ada's patience was almost exhausted.

Finally, Toller chose to let go of his dignity. He lowered his head and dared not look at the "devil" standing opposite him. His eyes were staring at the ground blankly. He even felt that the sound of his own breathing was particularly harsh.

Ada lowered her wand and took two steps back. Since the other party had already admitted his weakness, there was no need to force him any further. Ada said to Toller, "Go away."

Toller hurriedly moved away from where he had just stood, fearing that he would be hit by the spell if he delayed for a moment. Toller spoke the command to the Fat Lady in a trembling voice, and the portrait moved forward unsteadily. He had never found that the portrait moved so slowly!
As soon as the hole in the wall appeared, Toller hurriedly climbed in. In the lounge, students were chasing and playing, or gathering in twos and threes to do homework or chat.

Toler, who stumbled in, accidentally bumped into other students. The sound of that student's fall attracted most of the attention, and everyone saw Toler, who was in a state of disarray.

Everything in front of him made Toler feel even more embarrassed. He ignored the student who fell to the ground, but quickened his pace back to his dormitory and wrapped himself in the quilt.

Outside the common room, the house elf Winnie let go of Ada's robe and patted her chest gently with her little hands. Winnie was terrified just now. She liked Miss Drizzt very much and didn't want Miss Drizzt to get hurt, but she didn't know how to stop it.

Winnie felt that if Toller had refused to bow his head, Miss Trist would definitely cast a spell; she could feel it.

"Miss, you shouldn't do this. You have hurt other students and the professors will punish you..." Winnie said in a low voice. The house-elf shouldn't say such things.

"Don't worry, Winnie, I was just trying to scare him." Ada leaned down and leveled her eyes with the elf, "He will definitely bow his head."

"Why are you so sure, young lady, that Mr. Toller will admit defeat?" Winnie asked puzzledly.

"Because he doesn't have the guts!"

"In the dungeon classroom, I deliberately bumped into him, but he didn't dare to do anything. He just cursed and gossiped behind my back. Just now, I took out my wand to threaten him, but he didn't even have the courage to resist." Ada continued to explain, "I actually hope he can take out his wand, so that I can still look up to him. I really don't know how he got into Gryffindor."

"It's really too dangerous. Miss, you shouldn't choose this method. You might get hurt! The professors will definitely be unhappy if they know." Winnie said with concern.

"Okay, Winnie, I have to go back. See you next time." Ada waved to Winnie, then turned and entered the cave. The elf bowed deeply and did not get up and leave until the Fat Lady hid the entrance again.

Entering the common room, Ada greeted a few familiar Gryffindors. For some reason, Ada felt that the students in the common room looked at her strangely.

Fred and George were sitting in an armchair fiddling with some gadgets, which looked like some magic tricks they had bought. After Ada came over and sat down, the two brothers put the gadgets into their schoolbags.

"Why are they looking at me like that?" Ida asked quietly, touching the tip of her nose with her right hand unconsciously, "Is my nose obviously red?"

"What are you talking about? Your nose is fine, isn't it?" "Did Snape give you a red nose?"

Although the twins were teasing Ada, they still explained the whole story to Ada. When Toler came in, everyone thought he was frightened, so he looked like that. But when Ada followed him into the lounge, everyone understood and naturally imagined the scene. Toler was indeed frightened, and it was Ada who frightened him.

The Gryffindor students had been discussing Ada and Toller in private. They were bored at the beginning of the school term, so they had to bring their own bench, seeds, and mineral water to eat. They were curious about what Ada had done to scare Toller like that.

"What did you do to Toller? Didn't you give him a good blow?" Fred asked, making a fist-pumping motion.

"Or the Batman Curse. Didn't you discuss this with Ginny during the holidays?" George had always wanted to see this spell. If this spell could summon Snape, he would be invincible.

Ida shook her head and said, "I just scared him. I didn't hit him or scold him."

"Just scare? Do you look that scary? He looks like there's a troll chasing him!" said Fred and George together.

Without caring about the twins describing themselves as trolls again, Ida said, "Let's stop here and don't bother Toler for now. You two are not allowed to do anything behind my back. I don't think Charlie wants his batsman to be unable to play because of confinement, right?"

"Well, we had already planned to give Toler a hard time." Fred said, looking towards the boys' dormitory.

"If you say so, we can just cancel the plan." George said indifferently, "We have a lot of things to do anyway, right, Fred?"

"You two have been acting mysterious lately, what are you up to?" Ada asked with concern. The two brothers have been acting a little abnormal lately and they haven't been running around outside the castle much recently.

Fred waved to Ada, and Ada came over. The twins whispered in Ada's ears, one on each side: "Secret."

Sooner or later, you will pay for what you have done. This saying is very true for Ada. Last year, she kept the welfare information a secret from the twins for more than half a year. This school year, it was the twins who kept it a secret from her. This was retribution.

The twins' faces were filled with smiles of success, which made Ada angry and amused.

Everyone has secrets, things that cannot be told to others, things that one does not want to tell others are all secrets. Ada also has secrets, and she has hidden more secrets than the twins, so if we round it up, we are even.
