Chapter 141 Hogwarts Letter and the Principal

On August 1st, Ada didn't have to go to the Leaky Cauldron today because she had the day off. She would choose one day a week to relax. When she came back last night, Ada gave Ginny's autograph from Harry Potter as her tenth birthday present.

It was a joyful thing to receive an autograph from her idol (dream lover). Excited, Ginny pulled Ada and chatted for half the night, focusing on Harry Potter.

Ada, who had not fallen asleep until early in the morning, stayed in bed without any surprise. When she and Ginny were sitting in the kitchen having breakfast, everyone was already there. The twins sat there very honestly. Mrs. Weasley discovered that they were hiding in their room to work on their business. They have been very restrained recently after being criticized.

As soon as Ada sat down, the letter-delivery owl arrived, along with a copy of the Daily Prophet. Percy, who was closest to the window, carried a chicken coop to get the mail, and stuffed five knuts into the small leather bag on the leg of the owl that delivered the newspaper.

Percy handed the newspaper to Mr. Weasley and distributed the Hogwarts letters to everyone. Although he did not receive a letter from Charlie this year, Ron received his admission notice.

Opening the letter, as expected, the textbooks she needs to use are still the same. This year Ada has three more elective courses, so she also needs to buy "Parting Through the Fog to See the Future" for the divination class, and "Magical Creatures" for the Care of Magical Creatures class. Where”, and “Magic Phonetic Chart”. In addition, Ada also wants to buy "Magic Dictionary" and "Magic Symbol Collection".

Fred tapped Ada on the shoulder and asked her to look at Percy. Ada raised her head and looked at Percy opposite, and saw Percy smiling like a maniac towards her right hand, as if his right hand had some magic power.

"Prefect, we have another prefect in our family!" Mrs. Weasley looked at Percy's right hand and said, "Percy, is there any gift you want?"

From Bill to Charlie, and from Charlie to Percy, the Weasley boys will get prefect badges as soon as they reach fifth grade. Two years later, Fred and George will also be in fifth grade, but...

Ada turned her head to look at the twins, and the twins also sensed Ada's gaze. Their heads turned around in unison, with four eyes staring at Ada at the same time.

"We wouldn't do such a thing!" Fred whispered.

"We will never let that thing taint us!" George also said in a suppressed voice.

Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley was happily discussing with Percy what gifts to buy and didn't notice the twins' dangerous remarks at all, otherwise the two of them would not have seen the sun tomorrow.

"Mom, I want to change a pet. Scabbers is too old. How about an owl?" Percy suggested to his mother. He really didn't like Scabbers, a stinky mouse, and he didn't want to deal with a puppy for Scabbers. Garen, this is inconsistent with his status as a prefect.

Before Mrs. Weasley could speak, George spoke first: "Mom, Ron is also going to school this year, and he has to buy more things."

After hearing George's words, Ron raised his head and looked at Mrs. Weasley expectantly. He had been looking down at the long shopping list in his hand before. He knew that most of the things on it would be second-hand, but if he could have new ones, who would want second-hand ones?

Ada was about to raise her hand and say that she had money here, but she put her hand down under Mrs. Weasley's glare. Mrs. Weasley would not ask for a single coin from Ada. They did not accept Ada for money, but because they really liked this sensible girl.

"Keep eating, kids," said Mr. Weasley, the head of the family. "There will be a way."

What else could be done was Bill's old robes, the textbooks used by the twins or Ada, and maybe Charlie's old wand. The paint on the old wand was so badly peeled that the unicorn core was exposed, and Ada doubted whether it could still cast spells.

After breakfast, Ada and the twins carried buckets to the creek outside the village. They did not continue talking about what happened at the dinner table, but were talking about today's Daily Prophet.

"Who would be so brave and dare to rob Gringotts!" Fred said. He was not worried about Gringotts at all. Instead, he felt that the person who did such a thing was too fierce.

The news that Gringotts was forcibly broken into broke out yesterday afternoon, when Ada was still in the Leaky Cauldron. According to eyewitnesses, the goblins of Gringotts failed to capture the robber, allowing him to escape with the stolen goods.

Some people said that the robbers took away a large sum of gold from Gringotts' underground vault, while others said that the robbers took away treasures hidden in Gringotts. In short, everyone concluded that the robbers had accomplished what was previously impossible, robbed Gringotts, and escaped unscathed.

The goblins only admitted that someone did break into Gringotts, but the robber didn't steal anything. The Daily Prophet also said the same.

"No matter whether he grabbed anything or not, if he could go in and come out, it means that this robber is not an ordinary person." George rolled up his trousers, walked to the river, and started fishing.

Ada, who was sitting on a stone by the river, was also rolling up her trousers. She said, "I hope this is a grand thief who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. When I wake up tomorrow, there will be a big bag of gold on the bedside. If I will pray for him every day."

"Wake up, stop dreaming, it's still early at night!" Fred and George splashed water on Ada, and the cold river water splashed on her body.

Not to be outdone, Ada also went down to the river and began to fight back. It was originally Ada fighting one against two, but just making a fuss turned into a melee between three people. The water fight stopped until all three people became wet.

The three people walked upstream along the river, changed places and continued fishing. Ada is very good at fishing, but she is not good at fishing. If she had a choice, she would prefer to cast an explosive spell on the river, simply and simply.

"Actually, I'm a little suspicious of Quirrell. He happened to be in the Leaky Cauldron on the day of the Gringotts incident. Coupled with his weird behavior, it's hard not to be suspected." Ada bent down and said, she found The fish was much faster than her. When she reached out to catch it, the fish had already swam away.

Ada had told the twins about Quirrell, and also expressed her own thoughts. Ada felt that Quirrell's timid appearance was just an act he was pretending to hide, and he must have some other agenda.

"It's indeed a coincidence, but it's too much of a coincidence! When he went to Diagon Alley, something happened to Gringotts. The coincidence is a bit unreal." Fred said. Like Ada, he didn't catch anything.

"If it was really him, your vigilante wouldn't have appeared. Quirrell doesn't look like a person who would sacrifice himself for others." George was carrying the fishing net and was choosing a place to lower it. He didn't want to go back empty-handed.

Quirrell's timid temperament does not seem like someone who can accomplish such a big thing, but a wizard who is frightened by dark creatures such as vampires actually has the courage to apply for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. No matter how you look at it, It's weird.

"After school starts, we can use the Marauder's Map to observe Quirrell," George said, "just like we did in first grade."

"I agree, it doesn't matter who the professor is or not. I'll make sure Quirrell has clear arrangements for it after school starts." Fred patted the water hard. The fish were particularly cunning today. He tried for a long time without catching a single fish. .

After finding nothing, the three people returned to the Burrow carrying the empty bucket. When the three people entered the house, they saw Dumbledore sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was telling Ginny and Ron a story, and Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen. Prepare lunch.

"Professor, why did you come to the Burrow?" Ada asked.

"An old friend of mine happens to be free today, and I think you should go and meet him." Dumbledore said, "But don't worry, we can go after lunch."

A group of people gathered around the kitchen, Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Percy acting a little reserved, taking Dumbledore's visit seriously. The twins were not flustered by the sudden home visit. The two brothers were still joking and making the principal laugh.

Ada and Ginny didn't show much. The two people who were not afraid of Dumbledore lowered their heads and ate quietly. Ada wasn't even curious about who she was going to see later. She would see him later anyway.

"I always hear Ada praise your cooking skills. I finally tasted it today. It is indeed as good as she said." Dumbledore said with a smile, "right, Ada?"

Mrs. Weasley was very happy. She rubbed her hands on her apron and said, "As long as you like it. These children usually cause you trouble."

"I like them very much. Each of the Weasley children has their own characteristics. This is all due to you and Arthur." Dumbledore continued, "On the other hand, Ada, the child, learned to be naughty from somewhere. Thank you for your hard work, Molly."
