Chapter 174 Disney Princess on the Run

Other people are obsessed with ghosts or sex, but Ada is different. She is not an ordinary person, she is obsessed with money. Although the twins often have qualities that harm their friends, one of their evaluations of Ada is very pertinent, that is, Ada tied every copper nut to her rib fan, and every time she spent money, it was no less than that. It's killing her.

Ada, whose eyes are full of small coins, is a strange woman who regards immortality as nothing but wealth as life. If any little thief dares to steal Ada's money bag blindly, Ada will hunt him down forever.

Everyone has desires, and these desires often become the motivation and support for human beings to go on. Dumbledore didn't think that Ada's love for money was vulgar. She didn't steal or rob, so what happened to her liking for sparkling things?

"I'm sorry, I am not the owner of the Philosopher's Stone, and I am only temporarily keeping it for its owner." Dumbledore declined Ada's discussion. He could not make this decision for Nicolas Flamel.

It was just a joke, and Ada never thought that Dumbledore would agree. This is the Philosopher's Stone, the only Philosopher's Stone in the entire magical world. If Dumbledore really agreed, Ada would not dare to accept it. Who knows if there is any bottomless pit waiting for her to jump into.

"However, if you can get the Sorcerer's Stone before Quirrell, or get it before I send it away, I can turn a blind eye or close one eye." Dumbledore continued, "But, you only have Two days’ time.”

The elixir made from the magic stone needs to be taken continuously. Your life will continue during the period of taking the medicine. Stopping taking the elixir means death. Ada only borrowed it for two days. Even though it was an imaginary number, it proved that she had no interest in immortality. She just wanted to turn stone into gold.

Dumbledore was very confident in his arrangement. As long as he had a desire for the Sorcerer's Stone and wanted to take it for himself, he would not be able to pass the protection he had set up. Quirrell can't do it, and neither can Ada, because both of them have the same desire for the Sorcerer's Stone.

With just an empty talk, you can get a hint of Ada's favor without paying any price, and you can get one more powerful fighter to protect Harry and the Sorcerer's Stone. For Dumbledore, this is a sure-profit deal. Why not do something with your mouth?

Even if Ada really gets the Philosopher's Stone, doesn't that mean she no longer wants to have the Philosopher's Stone? Then there's nothing to worry about. It's not worth lending it to her for two days, just to coax the child.

Ada turned her head and looked at Dumbledore with confusion. His blue eyes were like calm lakes, and she couldn't get any information from them, but Ada just knew that the old bee was definitely trying to trick her!

She said: "Professor, something is wrong with you. I think you must have dug a hole for me to jump into, and you also asked me to jump on my own initiative. I couldn't even find a place to roll around afterwards."

You were the one who took the initiative to jump in the first place, but now it's too late to regret it. When you get on this train, you have to weld the door shut. No one can get off until the end!

Of course, Professor Dumbledore would not talk like this, but Ada felt that the meaning should be similar. Find a "gentle and caring" big sister to be Harry's bodyguard, which would save worry and effort.

Although Harry Potter does not have magical hair, he does have a bunch of hair that is always stuck on the side, and even the most effective shampoo cannot do anything about it.

Although Harry Potter has not yet revealed his Parseltongue, talking to animals is not uncommon in the wizarding world. It is said that Dumbledore can also talk to mermaids.

Although Harry Potter has never been poisoned, he was injured by Voldemort with the killing curse and was marked as a powerful enemy by Voldemort. This is much more powerful than a poisoned apple.

Harry Potter had never been kidnapped, but the Dursleys' treatment of him was not good, it could even be considered abuse, and it was not much different from slavery.

There are many people who help Harry Potter resolve troubles, including Hermione Granger, Dumbledore, etc., and Ada may be added in the future, so...

It’s true, Harry Potter is Disney’s fugitive princess, the magical princess of Hogwarts, and you are worthy of being Harry Potter!

Ada doesn't know that the world she lives in is a world where a "princess" maintains peace and avenges herself. She was not interested in princesses or anything else. She was wondering if there was any chance that she could pass this test and get the magic stone.

Ada turned back to face the Mirror of Erised, and in the mirror appeared a young couple holding a baby, and a young man with a ruddy complexion and good health. But this time there was more content. Ada saw herself holding a red magic stone and turning a pile of scrap metal into yellow gold!

If she wants to pass the test, she must eliminate her desires. Ada asks herself that she cannot do this. She only looks fourteen years old, but her heart is not fourteen years old. As a human being, these years have made her heart no longer pure. This is not only a test of the Mirror of Erised, but also a cleansing of her own heart.

"In life, it is inevitable to encounter setbacks. Setbacks and opportunities often coexist. What we have to do is to seize this opportunity and overcome the setbacks that stand in our way." Dumbledore said. This bowl of chicken soup was cooked in a hurry. All I could do was hold Ada's collar and pour it in.

"Can I know why you want a lot of money?" Dumbledore continued to ask, "As far as I know, the money you have now, even if you do nothing in the next few years, will be enough for you. graduated."

"I'm afraid of being poor."

Three simple words, but they hide great fear. All Dumbledore could see was Ada's smiling expression, but he couldn't see Ada's hands behind her back. Her fingers were twisted together, and her knuckles became a little pale due to excessive exertion.

Ada could have lived in the orphanage or the Weasley family during the holidays and lived on the meager welfare fund from Hogwarts. But she didn't. She chose to work at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and the Leaky Cauldron just to have some money on hand for emergencies.

Although the reason was only three words, it was enough for Dumbledore. Dumbledore thought, being abandoned at two months old and being abandoned twice in childhood made Ada very insecure about everything she had. If one day, the Weasley family no longer likes her and accepts her, and Hogwarts cannot accommodate her, even if she loses everything she has now, as long as she still has the money, Ada can find a shelter. There is no need to live on the streets or suffer from hunger.

That's why when Professor McGonagall gave Harry Potter the broomstick, she reacted so strongly, with three words: a sense of crisis.

"By the way, did you and the two Mr. Weasleys have fun at the Shrieking Shack?" We can't talk about this topic anymore. Dumbledore was afraid that Ada would be upset if we continued talking, and then turned to find Quirrell's Not happy.

"Uh..." Ada glanced at Dumbledore's waist. The topic changed so abruptly, wasn't he afraid of flashing his own waist?

"What's wrong with my waist?" Dumbledore asked. He didn't understand what Ada meant by glancing at him. There was no precious metal hanging on his waist, and Ada wasn't sniffing either.

"It's nothing," Ada withdrew her gaze. It seemed that although Dumbledore was old, his waist obviously had no problem, because he was still standing very straight at this moment.

"If the principal has time, you can come to the cabin as a guest. Winnie helped me a lot. The cabin is very warmly decorated." Ada initiated the invitation as the owner of the cabin. This behavior was somewhat shameless.

Although it was unclear how Dumbledore knew that he had the Shrieking Shack as his own, Ada didn't find it strange at all. There weren't many things that could be hidden from Dumbledore in this school, and he had fallen into the eyes of the principal. It was even more impossible to hide what he had done in the Shrieking Shack. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

"If you promise me one thing, be it the Shrieking Shack or the Twilight Cottage, from now on, you will be the real owner there!" Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a cunning light. As long as he is not blind, Everybody can see it.

Dumbledore's pit has been dug, and it is clearly in front of Ada's eyes. It's up to Ada to decide which posture to jump in.

Thanks to book friend Luo Yue Ruzheng for the reward.
