Chapter 176 The Joys and Sorrows of People Are Not the Same

On Christmas morning, the floor of the girls' dormitory was in a mess. The floor was covered with unwrapped colorful wrapping paper. They were not cleaned up until Ada washed and changed her clothes.

After half a semester of practice, Ada has become more and more familiar with the use of silent spells. Ada can cast many spells used in daily life silently. Ada can also use spells that can be used in actual combat silently, but the effect is slightly less effective and requires her to practice more frequently.

After changing her clothes, Ada walked out of the dormitory and followed the stairs to the common room. Because of the holidays, there were not many students staying in school, and Ada only saw a few Weasleys laughing and playing in the common room.

Fred and George, who were also wearing blue sweaters, were putting the sweaters on Percy's body. Regardless, the three-seven-twenty-one twins just put the sweater on Percy's body. His glasses were knocked crooked and his hair looked like a chicken coop.

Ron, who was wearing a purple sweater, and Harry, who was wearing a bright green sweater, were eating melon and watching the show. Sure enough, Harry also received a love sweater from Mrs. Weasley, and he received it in the first year.

Ada sat down in the armchair and the twins came over to sit down, the two of them finally letting Percy go. Percy, whose arms were bound by the sweater, had to ask Ron for help, and then he took off the sweater with the letter "P" on it and put it aside.

"Does that 'P' mean prefect or does it mean Percy?" Ada asked with a smile.

Seeing Ada asking this, Percy's face was a little red, and now it became even redder. He hesitated and said: "Of course... what Percy means is the same as your 'E' stands for, They’re all names.”

"Mom doesn't think you can forget your name." Fred pointed at the G on his chest and said, "So this is what prefect means."

"Perhaps I should suggest, Madam, to replace one P with two, so that 'Prefect' and 'Percy' are both present." Ada said seriously, as if she would really mention this to Mrs. Weasley. The advice is the same.

"Why not three?" George held out three fingers, "That means 'poor', 'prefect', and 'Percy'. I will write to my mother when she comes back from Romania!"

The three people sitting together joked about the blushing Percy. They were all wearing blue sweaters. If Ada's hair were changed to fiery red, the three of them would look like triplets.

"Ada, what's that in your hand?" Harry asked curiously as he saw that Ada was holding a magazine in her hand.

Fred snatched the magazine from Ada's hand and turned to the page with the bookmark on Ada's hand. He read aloud: "The Disappearance and Appearance Curse,... written by Minerva McGonagall, Ada Smeralda Drizzt..."

"So just to show off to us, your name appears in the Transfiguration magazine you often read?" George tilted his head and asked, "We don't care whether you are in the magazine or not, we just want to ask if you have royalties."

"The royalties are nothing compared to my name." Ada took back her magazine, "Maybe I will write your Transfiguration textbook in the future!"

Fred shook his head and said, "I don't think we can catch up, right George?"

"That's right." George walked up to Ron, patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Ron, this task will be left to you. If it doesn't work, just leave it a few levels, and you must wait until Ada writes the transformation spell. Textbook day.”

"No way, mother will beat me to death!" Ron shook his head firmly. Between Mrs. Weasley and Ada, Mrs. Weasley was obviously more lethal.

A few people gathered around and chatted about household matters. There was no Philosopher's Stone, nor Quirrell and Snape. Harry, sitting next to Ron, was enjoying everything in front of him. This was the life he wanted.

Three red-haired boys rushed into the auditorium in a hurry. There was also a girl with long blond hair and a boy with black hair. There was also a boy with red hair who was dragged in.

The boy who was dragged in was naturally Percy. He was dragged left and right into the auditorium by the twins. He was still shouting things like "let me go" and "stop running and jumping in the corridor and making trouble".

Instead of blaming the Weasleys for intruding, the professors sitting on the teachers' bench looked at them with smiles. Even Professor McGonagall, who was always strict, smiled happily.

Ada stayed at school for Christmas again, just like last time, before officially starting the Christmas banquet, she first walked to the teachers' table and bribed the professors.

The pockets of her robe were bulging with all kinds of sweets. She went back to the dormitory to pack these candies before leaving the common room, and grabbed a handful in each candy box.

Professor McGonagall looked at Ada who bribed the professor with a smile. Around her neck was the gold and red scarf given by Ada. Although the scarf was not very well made, she still liked it very much.

You can tell at a glance that this scarf was knitted by a newbie. Some places are more golden and some are more red.

The lion on the scarf didn't look like what it should look like at all. If Professor McGonagall wasn't a Gryffindor, she swore she would never recognize what the pattern was.

This was Ada's most successful work, and the remaining defective products were given to the twins. Ada originally wanted to give it to Winnie, but the house elves would not accept this kind of "clothing", so Ada had no choice but to give it to the twins.

Although it was not as good-looking as the one she bought, Professor McGonagall valued this sentiment more, so she wore this scarf to attend the banquet.

At first, the other professors were very surprised as to why Professor McGonagall had such an ugly scarf and even wore it. But when they knew that this ugly scarf was knitted by Ada herself, they became envious and jealous.

Among the envious professors, there were two people with very strange looks. One was Snape, whose sallow complexion turned dark visibly to the naked eye; the other was Dumbledore, who suddenly felt the wool on his feet. The socks are a bit prickly.

Ada's bribes were given to every professor, and even Quirrell received a handful of candies, soaked in rain and dew, which can be regarded as a model of a master of water transfer.

Seeing Quirrell's "flattered" look, Ada even said "Come on" to her. Whether to work hard in class or work hard to steal the magic stone, it all depends on what Quirrell thinks.

When Ada stood in front of Snape in disgust, Snape's expression was even more disgusting than hers, and both of them frowned at each other.

Looking at the still greasy hair, Ada complained in her heart: I gave you all the scented shampoos. Can't you choose the one you like from so many scents? Can you die if you wash your hair?

Snape also disliked it. What he disliked was not Ada's behavior of giving gifts. He was still very happy when he first received the gift. But when he opened the box, he was instantly unhappy.

Snape wanted to ask Ada: What do you mean by giving this box of shampoo?

Especially after coming to the auditorium and seeing Professor McGonagall, Snape only took one glance and knew what the scarf around the vice-principal's neck was about, and then he became even more unhappy.

Snape, who had a dark face, accepted the candy, but neither Snape nor Ada noticed. At this time, Quirrell was secretly observing the two of them.

After seeing the dislike for each other on their faces, Quirrell moved his eyes away and looked at Harry among the students.

Ada put down the candy in front of Dumbledore. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Dumbledore whisper: "Maybe because I bought it, these woolen socks feel a little prickly..."

It seems that Dumbledore is talking to himself, but he is clearly speaking to Ada. Even though he is over a hundred years old, Dumbledore is still a good actor, unlike some people...

As for you, Quirinus Quirrell, learn from it!

The last stop at the teacher's desk was always Professor McGonagall's. Ada also placed all the candies in her pocket in front of her just like before.

Professor McGonagall pointed to the scarf around her neck and said, "I like this scarf very much, especially after knowing that woolen socks can hurt your feet."

The old man and the young boy turned their heads at the same time to look at Dumbledore, who was there. Their laughter made Dumbledore feel particularly noisy...
