The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 425 Contradictory Acting Style

Although the twins have turned seventeen today, they are adults in the wizarding world and can drink alcohol and cast spells outside of school.

But when they were ordering wine at the bar, the twins still habitually felt guilty when facing Madam Rosmerta's probing eyes.

It's as if you entered and exited Internet cafes and nightclubs with your ID card for the first time.

Fred and George's loud orders and deliberate emphasis are all manifestations of their guilty conscience.The most obvious point is that they actually forgot about Ada!
All along, the three of them have a clear division of labor, Ada takes the seat, and the twins take the order.Today Ada went looking for a place as usual, but the twins who ordered forgot Ada's portion!
The twins glanced at each other, and just about to get up and go to the bar, they were held down by Ada."I'll do it myself," she said.

After speaking, Ada walked through the crowd to the bar.This time she didn't order hot cocoa or other drinks, but ordered a glass of Three Broomsticks' signature red currant rum.

This name was told to Ada by Snape, and now the two of them are drifting apart, and Ada has no good solution to this.

Ever since I got drunk with Laura last time and was ordered by Vader not to drink, Ada has been very obedient and hasn't touched a drop of alcohol.Even on the day of the Burrow dinner, she hadn't touched it.

Ada knew that being drunk was a mistake, and she was not a drinker herself, so she put down her glass easily.

It's just that today is a special day, and Ida didn't want to fool around with a butterbeer or hot cocoa, so she ordered a red currant rum instead.

Red currant This berry contains vitamin C, which can treat colds and tonsil abscesses.It is said that it also has the effect of relieving fatigue and improving eyesight, and it is also effective for arthritis and skin diseases.

After returning to their seats, the three raised their glasses at the same time and touched each other lightly.

Clinking glasses is not just a simple clinking of glasses. After the pleasant collision sound, they are no longer flying teenagers, and they have to be responsible for their own words and deeds. They must be humble and cruel.

The twin tigers took a big sip, and then the two brothers quickly put down the glasses, pretending nothing happened.It's just that the facial expressions of the two of them betrayed them. The two brothers are obviously not used to the hot taste.

Ada took a sip of the rum in the glass slowly. It tasted sweet and fragrant, with a hint of sweet and sour fruity aroma, worthy of the Three Broomsticks signature.

After finishing their glasses of wine, Ada, Fred, and George left the Three Broomsticks. The twins were only here to have fun, not to get drunk.

It is enough to order a glass of flame whiskey that I have been thinking about day and night, and then drink it. What I want is this damn sense of ritual.

Besides, there was a party at night to celebrate the two brothers' birthdays, so they couldn't just get drunk during the day.

It was the same people who came to celebrate the twins, the cake was still made by Mrs. Weasley, and the other food was provided by house elves, just like Ada's birthday.

But everyone had a great time, and it would have been nicer if Angelina, Alia, and Katie hadn't sang "Butterfly" in unison.These three women have been brainwashed by this magical melody.

After the twins' birthdays, the Easter holiday came in a blink of an eye. The sixth graders, who had been idle for most of the school year, suddenly became busy. The teachers of various subjects suddenly assigned a lot of after-school homework.

The holidays had just begun when Ada and the twins received an Easter egg from Mrs. Weasley.

Ada got an Easter egg the size of a dragon's egg, filled with homemade toffee and chocolate, and the twins combined were worth as much as she alone.

April passed slowly during the holidays. During this period of time, there was no progress in the investigation of Barty Jr. Sirius had no news back, and he did not find Barty Crouch.

Not even Barty Crouch is mentioned much in the Daily Prophet, although Percy Wetherby still receives written orders from Mr. Qi was terminally ill.

Next, they just need to reserve a place in the newspaper and be ready to issue an obituary to Director Crouch at any time.

The school still looked peaceful, and nothing unusual happened, as if the Dark Mark and the fourth warrior were an April Fool's Day joke.

Ada also had to praise the other party for his patience. She even suspected that the other party's zodiac sign might be a tortoise. Otherwise, why was the other party so patient?

Fred even said with a smile, "The other party is outliving us, trying to consume us all to death."

Although it was a joke, what Fred said was not unreasonable. Only the one who can stand to the end is the ultimate winner. At this time, what you say is what you say, because those who oppose you are lying in coffins.

To be honest, Ada is somewhat disdainful of this kind of victory and this kind of winner. She enjoys the thrill of defeating the enemy more than snickering at the enemy's grave.

However, the opponent is now like a tortoise, with his mind, hands and feet shrunk into a solid shell, making it impossible to attack.Sometimes Ida wanted to rush to the kitchen and let a drunken Winky feel the power of the thumb clip.

But Ada knew that she couldn't act rashly at this time, and her impulsiveness would only make the other party hide in a deeper place.Even if she really proved that Barty Jr. was not dead, it would be useless. At best, she would just let her know who her opponent was.

At this moment, the competition between the two sides is patience, and it depends on who can't hold back first, whoever moves first, and whoever shows his feet first.At that time, the other party can adapt to the circumstances and better achieve their goals.

Before the arrival of the third project, both Dumbledore and Ada had time to continue spending time with each other.

After the summer semester started, the weather was getting hotter day by day, and only the dark basement classroom could make people feel a little cool. Of course, that was before everyone lit the fire to boil the potion.

The coolness of the dungeon ceased to exist when the students of the Advanced Potions class lit the flames and set up the cauldrons.

If you want to feel the cool breath again, then you can only piss off Snape, in his eyes you will experience what it means to be "falling into the ice cave".

In Potions class that day, when Snape walked up to Ada for the third time, he finally stopped his steps.

Snape didn't criticize the poorly shaped potion in the cauldron, which was abnormal. He just lowered his voice and said, "My private storage room has lost a lot of materials recently. Do you know what's going on, Miss Drizzt?"

The private storage room, as the name suggests, belongs only to Snape's personal storage room.But the potions professor's storage room is "the door of my house is always open", and people visit it from time to time.

"I don't know, I haven't been to your storage room for a long time." Ada said, her hands were not idle, and she casually filled the crucible with follow-up materials.

Under her mysterious operation, the medicine in the crucible became like unstirred cement.

Snape looked at the cement in the crucible, blocked his nose in distaste, and continued, "Of course I know it's not you. You always only take finished products, and you'll leave a note in a 'kind' way."

Although it's not an extremely arrogant and provocative note like "I'll come too", Ada will leave a list every time she visits, explaining what she has taken.

Under normal circumstances, Ada would also help the Potions Professor take inventory of the inventory to see what was missing, what was missing, what should be added, and what needed to be used up as soon as possible.

But Ada hadn't been to the private storeroom once this school year, so Snape had to take inventory by himself.

Ada finally put down her work and asked, "So, what's missing from the professor's private storage room this time? If it's the gill weed, I think you know where it went."

"Of course I know where the gillweed has gone, although he doesn't admit it," said Snape. "I'm missing some woodsnake skin in my storeroom."

This "he" naturally refers to Harry, after all, Harry has a "previous record" with Snape.

Although Harry did use gillweed in the second project, he himself did not know that gillweed came from Snape's storeroom.Dobby had given Harry the gill-weed, and Harry hadn't asked the elf where the gill-weed had come from.

Snape continued: "The amount stolen each time is very small, and it does not constitute the amount of a potion."

If you take less, it will not be easy to be discovered by Snape, reducing the risk.But if you take less, it means you have to take it multiple times, which also increases the risk virtually.

Who could this slightly contradictory style of acting be?African tree snake skin, another polyjuice?

"Also, if you don't want to go to class, you don't have to come, no one is forcing you." Snape said,

With that said, Snape drew out his wand and cleaned Ada's cauldron. He really couldn't keep looking at the cement in the cauldron.
