Chapter 116 Lady Mary

The first time Mrs. Mary woke up, she was actually concerned about Ada's well-being, just like she had cared about countless times before, as if nothing had changed.

It was this simple sentence, but it pierced Ada's heart like a sharp blade, making her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"I am living a good life and have made two very good friends in school. You are always worried that I cannot get along well with others. Now you can rest assured." Ada said. Ada stood up and poured a glass of water, gently lifted Lady Mary's head, and fed her little by little.

"No one bullies me in the school, and the professors treat me very well. It was Professor McGonagall who sent me back this time. You have met her. She came to visit me at home." Ada continued, " Mr. Weasley also treats me very well, he and his wife treat me like a daughter...I'm doing well, ma'am, really well."

Mrs. Mary wanted to raise her hand to touch Ada's cheek, but she struggled to do this simple action. Ada leaned down and held Mrs. Mary's hand to help her put her hand on her face. .

"Okay... That's good. I watched you grow up. When you first came here, you were like a kitten. I was always afraid that I wouldn't be able to feed you. Now you have grown into a big girl." Lady Mary gently stroked Ada's cheek. Although her complexion improved a little, she still struggled to speak and had to take a break every few words.

"You raised me well, that's why I am so smart and beautiful." Ada said with a smile. Both Ada and Ada are very grateful to Mrs. Mary for taking care of them. Without Mrs. Mary, she might have died on the winter night of 1977.

When she was in London, although the conditions in the orphanage were not good, no child ever suffered from hunger. Lady Mary always did her best to take care of every child so that every child could be fed and clothed.

"You know, my grades are all very good. I even got the first place in the school year in the final exam last year!" Ada said, "By the way, I also have a dog, which is very well-behaved. Next time I Brought to you to see..."

Ada chattered and told Mrs. Mary about her life at school. When she talked about some interesting things, Mrs. Mary would laugh along with her.

Of course, what Ada told was an abridged version. All content related to magic was omitted or changed by Ada. Those unhappy and dangerous things were not mentioned at all by Ada.

Lady Mary kept holding Ada's hand and did not interrupt her. Mrs. Mary liked to hear these things about life, so she let Ada talk non-stop. The Ada before had not talked so much, which was a good change.

Among the children now, Ada seems to be the most obedient and sensible, but in fact she is the one who worries the most. Now that she has really grown up a lot, how can Mrs. Mary be unhappy?

From these trivial things, Mrs. Mary could tell that Ada really liked life in school. She found the meaning of her existence and the direction for the future in school. This was what made Mrs. Mary happiest.

Ada said this not because she really became talkative. She just wanted to tell Mrs. Mary that she was indeed living a good life and reduce her worries, so she talked endlessly about good news and bad news.

One person spoke seriously, the other listened carefully, and the sky darkened in the blink of an eye.

A knock on the door interrupted Ada's words. Ms. Valente opened the door and walked in. Miss Katherine Nelson followed behind her holding a dinner plate. The food on the plate was all easy to chew. Food that is also easy to digest.

Ms. Valente walked to the bed and said with a smile: "I hear you talking about little Ada every day. Now that she is back, you look much better!"

"It was quite interesting to hear Ada talk about some things about school." Mrs. Mary said slowly, "I raised her by myself. When Nancy and I brought her back, she was only more than two months old. In a flash, My son has grown so big, Nancy passed away, and I...I am also old."

"This child is good at everything, but he needs to change his bad temper. He is smelly and stubborn." Mrs. Mary continued. In her memory, Ada had a good temper when she was a child. It was after she was abandoned for the second time. His temper got bad. Mrs. Mary has always felt guilty about this. She felt that if she had not recommended Ada at the beginning, then Ada would not have to experience this hurt.

"Really? Why didn't I notice that Ada has a bad temper? I think I like Ada very much." Ms. Valente looked at Ada standing aside and said, "By the way, Ada, you sit in the room." You must be hungry after such a long time, right?"

I didn't feel it when I didn't mention it. When Ms. Valente mentioned it, Ada also felt a little hungry. The last meal she had was breakfast when she was far away in Scotland.

"Catherine, you take Ada to her room to get familiar with it, and then you take Ada downstairs to have dinner. I'll be here." Ms. Valente continued.

"Go and go to the room with Catherine," said Lady Mary. "You must be very tired after walking such a long way. Go and have a good rest!"

Ada picked up her schoolbag and followed Catherine out of the room to the third floor. The room Ms. Valente arranged for her was at the stairs of the third floor. It might be a little noisy, but Ada lived alone.

The bedding had just been replaced and still smelled of washing powder. A single bed, a desk, a chair, and a wardrobe were all the furniture in the house.

Leaving her schoolbag in the room, Ada and Catherine went to the restaurant on the first floor. The person in charge of serving food was a fat, middle-aged black man. He and the custodian of the underground storage room were also employees of the orphanage. security guard.

The children in the courtyard were also eating in the restaurant. The discussion in the courtyard in the afternoon had spread, so whether these children knew Ada or not, they were all staring at Ada. The children who knew Ada had a look in their eyes. Some fear, but the children who don't know her are curious.

Ignoring these glances, Ada walked straight to the corner with her dinner plate and ate alone in silence. The food in the orphanage is naturally not the same as that in Hogwarts, but it is enough if it is just used to fill the stomach.

Ada ate very quickly, and the bottom of her dinner plate soon reached the bottom. She had no intention of having another portion, so after rinsing the plate, she left the restaurant and returned to Lady Mary's room.

Lady Mary had been trying hard to listen to Ada's words, so she only ate a little food and fell asleep again. Ada originally planned to stay and take care of Mrs. Mary, but under Ms. Valente's persuasion, she returned to the arranged room to rest and shelved her original plan.

As soon as she returned to the room, Ada saw an owl sitting on the desk. It not only brought two letters to Ada, but also brought her own food rations. The two letters were from Professor McGonagall and the twins.

After Ada left the classroom, the twins had been worried about what kind of trouble she would get into. They didn't find Ada after class. It wasn't until Professor McGonagall returned to school that the two brothers knew what had happened, so Fred and George wrote this letter to comfort her and ensure that they would follow her instructions even if Ada was not at school. She made a plan to review, so she didn't have to worry.

The content of another letter from Professor McGonagall was very simple. It just told Ada not to worry about school matters, and asked Ada to take care of herself and write to her at any time if she has any questions.

Ada left school in a hurry, taking nothing with her except clothes and toiletries. Fortunately, she found paper and pen from the desk, so that she could reply to Professor McGonagall and the twins respectively.
