The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 495 Mr. Weasley was attacked

A few days have passed in a flash, and the Christmas holiday is coming.

Ada didn't go to build a step for Zuko, that was her angry words.After that day, Ada contacted Sergey and asked him to help keep an eye out for any shops in Diagon Alley for sale or for lease.

The twins didn't mention this incident again, as if it had never happened, mainly because they were afraid of Ada's embarrassment.The two brothers turned their heads and continued to test Umbridge's medicine, manually speeding up the curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts position.

On the last night before the holiday, Ada was chatting with her roommates in the dormitory, talking to each other about where to go during the holiday.Putting a spare set of clothes into the small bag, she turned over and lay on the bed, closing her eyes and listening to Katie's vacation plans.

After listening for a while, Ada gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Ada in her sleep felt someone walking into the dormitory.

She opened her eyes slightly, and saw Professor McGonagall walking beside her. Sleepy-eyed, she propped up her upper body with her arms and asked softly, "Professor, what's the matter?"

The night outside the window was dark, and the roommate's breathing was even and gentle. Professor McGonagall didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but ran to the girls' dormitory. Something must have happened.What's more, Professor McGonagall was still wearing a tartan dressing gown.

"Something happened to Arthur Weasley," said Professor McGonagall. "He was attacked by a snake."

"How is Mr. Weasley?" Ada asked anxiously, she was completely sleepy when she put on her coat, and she woke up in an instant.

"He was sent to St. Mungo's. The details are not clear." Professor McGonagall said, "I'll wake Fred and George up, and you'll wake up Ginny, and gather in the common room."

After speaking, Professor McGonagall hurried out of the dormitory.Ada picked up the handbag on the bedside table and ran to Ginny's dormitory in a hurry, wearing fluffy slippers.

Pulling Ginny up from the bed, Ada took the terrified Ginny to the common room.After meeting Professor McGonagall and the twins, they hurried to the principal's office.

The twins were equally panic-stricken, their red hair wilted, but the two brothers kept whispering to comfort Ginny who was even more frightened.Ada unconsciously held Ginny tighter.

Pushing open the door of the headmaster's office, they saw Dumbledore in pajamas, Ron who stood there with a pale face, and Harry who was drenched in sweat.

"Harry—what's going on?" Ginny asked terrified. "Professor McGonagall said you saw Daddy hurt—"

"Your father was injured while working for the Order of the Phoenix," said Dumbledore before Harry could speak. "He has been taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. I'm taking you back to Sirius' quarters, It's easier to get to the hospital than the Burrow, where you'll meet your mother."

Fred took the blame for his brother, asking, "How do we get there? Apparation or Floo powder? How did Daddy get hurt? What's he doing?"

"I will explain Arthur's specific mission to you later." Dumbledore said, "You use the Portkey to go there. The Floo Network has been monitored and is not safe. Now we just wait for Phineas to come back...I want to make sure There is no danger to send you to-"

In the center of the room, there was a flash of fire, leaving a golden feather that floated lightly to the ground.

"It's the Fawkes alarm," said Dumbledore, catching the feather. "Minerva, go and get her off—whatever the excuse—"

"We need to know why Dad was hurt?" Fred pressed. "We have a right to know!"

"I'll give you an explanation, but not now," said Dumbledore. "You must leave before Umbridge arrives."

At this time, Phineas's lazy voice came from the portrait behind Dumbledore, and he said: "Children nowadays are really rude. It was unimaginable in our time. My great-great-grandson has a quirk of keeping people to stay...he These awkward kids are very welcome."

The twins wanted to say something more, but Dumbledore had already motioned everyone to gather around the old teapot (portkey) on the table, so the two brothers had to give up.

Accompanied by a burst of swirling colors and whistling wind, Ada and others appeared in the dark basement kitchen at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

The only light in the kitchen was a dying fire and a flickering candle.In the light of the flickering candles, everyone looked terrible, especially Harry, who looked even worse than the Weasley children.

Sirius hurried in, looking dusty in his day clothes.

"What's the matter?" Sirius asked, "I just got back when I heard from Phineas Nigellus that Arthur was seriously injured."

Everyone looked at Harry, and Sirius looked at his godson worriedly.

Harry coughed, and with difficulty opened his mouth to describe his dream.He said he dreamed that a big snake had bitten Mr Weasley, down a long corridor.

But Harry made a slight change. He didn't say he saw it through the eyes of the snake, but said he was watching.

Hearing Harry's story, Ada knew that this was what Dumbledore had been worrying about all along, and the connection between Harry and Voldemort was getting deeper and deeper.If you guessed right, the big snake that bit Mr. Weasley was Nagini.

Ada walked out of the room silently, changed into the spare clothes in her handbag, and walked back to the dark basement kitchen fully dressed.

At this time the twins were arguing to go to St. Mungo's, and Sirius reassured them that they would not go to St. Mungo's tonight.The Weasley family went to the hospital before the hospital notified the family, which undoubtedly revealed a lot.

But the father was injured and his life was dying, which worried the twins, and they insisted on going stubbornly, but Sirius would not listen to what he said.

"Stop arguing, I'm going to St. Mungo's now." Ada said as she walked back to the kitchen, "Don't worry, I won't be found."

"If the Ministry of Magic knows that Harry can dream of things thousands of miles away, the Ministry of Magic will not let this matter go easily." Sirius said, "Ada, you are a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and you know that means What."

Ada straightened the buttons of her clothes and said seriously, "Of course I know, I know exactly what I'm doing."

Sirius opened his mouth, and finally he just said: "Then be careful, if there is any news, send it back as soon as possible, so that everyone can feel at ease."

Nodding, Ada was about to leave.The twins got up too, in their pajamas and wanted to go to St. Mungo's with Ida.

Ada turned around and looked at the two of them, and said, "Sit back! Are you going to leave your underage siblings here?"

Fred and George looked at Ada stubbornly.In the end, under Ada's stern gaze, the two brothers sat back in their chairs, their heads bowed in silence.

After Ada left, there was silence in the kitchen, and Sirius clapped his hands encouragingly and said, "Come on, we...we'll wait while we drink. Butterbeer is coming!"

He raised his wand, and six wine bottles flew towards them from the pantry, slid across the table, and stopped just in front of the six of them.They drank, and for a moment the only sound was the crackling of the kitchen fire and the tap of the bottle on the table.

Ada hurried out of 12 Grimmauld Place, and as soon as she walked down the stone steps, she apparated directly to the vicinity of St. Mungo's Hospital.

The reason why she insisted on going to St. Mungo despite Sirius' dissuasion was because she was worried about Mr. Weasley's injury on the one hand, and because she was worried that the hospital was not safe.

If Mr. Weasley is really seriously injured, Ida can use the ruby ​​in his hand to save him as long as he is still alive; no reply.

It was late at night, the wide street was deserted and deserted, the old street lamps gave off dim lights, and there were no pedestrians.

Ada, who was hiding in the corner, confirmed again and again that there was no one around, so she put on a hood to cover her face, and trotted to the old-fashioned red brick department store.

The cracked mannequins in the windows were the same, only slightly more eerie in the dead of night.Ada leaned in front of the window, and her exhaled breath made the dusty window even more blurred.

A female dummy dressed in green nylon turned her head to look at Ada who was close to the window, and it was asking the visitor's intentions.

Ada didn't say Mr. Weasley's name, but made up one at random.

Then Ada took out her wand and tapped on the window.I saw the female dummy in the window, as if the battery was low, nodded very slowly, and waved its fingers connected together.

Taking another look at the deserted street behind her, Ida went straight through the glass.
