Chapter 185 Children Who Like Sunshine
After returning to the common room, Ada did not immediately go to the dormitory to rest. Instead, she sat quietly in an armchair with the twins in front of the fireplace. The twins were sitting opposite her. They were watching her, fearing that she would lose her mind and do something impulsive that would be regrettable.
"You two don't have to look at me here, I won't be thinking about wiping my neck." Ada said, "Aren't you tired of staring at me like this without blinking?"
The twins shook their heads in unison, and Fred said, "We know you won't hurt yourself, but we can't be reassured until we see you calm down."
"If Professor McGonagall hadn't appeared in time, Filch would have been lying in the school hospital right now." George continued, "Ada, I know you may not want to hear these words, but I still want to say it."
Ada leaned back, raised her head and looked at the ceiling of the lounge, and said, "Speak, I'm listening."
"It doesn't matter what Dumbledore thinks. It doesn't matter what other people think. What matters is you." George persuaded Ada earnestly, "As long as you do what you should do, that's enough. What other people think won’t make you lose any weight.”
Ada didn't know what George said, and she never paid attention to the rumors in school.
But today Dumbledore's words are no longer just a simple opinion. In Ada's opinion, this is Dumbledore's warning to her: If you want to stay, you must be honest from now on and don't let your own temper lead you to misbehave. , you are not Harry, and you are not qualified to ask everyone to deal with the aftermath for you.
In Ada's eyes, everything Dumbledore had done for her was ultimately for Harry.
Confirm that you no longer have the power of Obscurus and will not become a time bomb next to Harry; cultivating your own abilities is also to provide Harry with better protection and provide him with a useful thug, and also for the future Fighting Voldemort makes a warrior.
Both Ada and Harry are very independent people, but Harry is the core of the whole plan. This means that Ada, who is just an auxiliary, does not need to have her own ideas. She only needs to obey Dumbledore or Harry. enough.
No one likes a tool that has its own ideas. It will be very uncomfortable to use. If you want to be comfortable, you need to constantly polish it. If it still doesn't feel smooth after polishing, just throw it away.
This idea is very narrow, and it also thinks Dumbledore very badly. This is the worst of all Ada's ideas. In this scenario, Ada will lose Dumbledore's cultivation and protection, and those she has offended will come to her door one by one, including Avery, Foley, Flint, and maybe Malfoy.
"I know. I'm just angry for a moment today, but I'll be fine tomorrow." Ada didn't state her thoughts clearly. Things might not be as bad as she thought. There was no need to say it out and let the twins worry together.
The twins were still looking at Ada. They knew that Ada was hiding something in her heart, and they also knew that they might not be able to ask anything more.
"It's already very late, I want to rest." Ada said, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and returned to her dormitory.
It was indeed getting late. They went to the fourth floor just before midnight. They went all the way to the principal's office, plus the time they were delayed by Filch. It was already early morning, and it would be dawn in a while. .
The twins looked at each other helplessly. Instead of going back to the dormitory to rest, they sat in the common room, not knowing what they were waiting for.
After returning to the dormitory, Ada did not lie down to rest, but sat blankly by the bed, not knowing what she was thinking. Angelina, Aaliyah and Katie were all sleeping deeply. They didn't know when Ada left or when she came back.
Sometimes, Ada also envied her roommates. Although they did not have enviable "talents", they lived happily and they did not have so many problems to consider.
Life must go on as usual, and the world will continue to revolve without anyone, and Ada will not feel sorry for herself because she has lost Dumbledore's protection. Without Dumbledore, there is no way to live without him.
Ada found the glasses given to her by the system and put them on. These glasses had been left in the corner of the cabinet gathering dust. Every time Ada put them on, it was to cover the red bloodshot eyes.
After cleaning up, Ada walked out of the dormitory and went to the common room, where Fred and George were leaning on armchairs and taking a nap. The two of them slept very restlessly, but they just walked over and snapped their fingers, and the two brothers woke up immediately.
She said softly: "Go and clean up. We can go downstairs for dinner later."
The two brothers would rather sit here than go back to their dormitory. In the final analysis, they were still afraid of running away. Although Ada did think so, she didn't do it, at least not yet.
Seeing Ada sitting in the armchair with her eyes closed, the confused twins dragged their tired bodies to wash up. The two brothers had suffered a lot.
The two brothers washed up very quickly, running there and back. When they saw Ada still sitting there, the twins slowed down their pace. They were really worried that Ada would leave.
Fred and George are not flowers in a greenhouse. They know that although the outside world is wonderful, it is also windy and rainy. They are worried that Ada will lose herself in the wind and rain.
After walking through the corridors and stairs, none of the three people mentioned what happened before. What has happened has already happened, and no matter what you say or do, it will be irreversible. Ada doesn't want to settle for anything less. While sitting by the bed, Ada thought for a long time. She felt that this was a good thing. It allowed her to recognize the reality earlier and no longer have those expectations that she shouldn't have. She no longer had to learn woolen socks. Yes, pretty good.
In the auditorium, Ada ate her breakfast in silence, out of tune with the noisy students around her. Although Fred and George still greeted people they knew and occasionally told jokes, they were also much quieter.
What happened that night had a great impact on the three people.
The levels under the trap door are useless except for the Mirror of Erised. The twins have figured out that these were prepared by Dumbledore for Harry to train him. They also figured out why Ada had such a big reaction. Both brothers felt unworthy of Ada. It turned out that there was more than one Snape who had a heart full of armpits, and Dumbledore's heart was even more biased.
Professor McGonagall has been paying attention to Ada's every move since she entered the auditorium. She just sat there quietly, making no noise or making any noise. This behavior only made Professor McGonagall even more worried, and also worried about Dumbledore. There are more complaints about the practice.
Where is Dumbledore, who is being "accused by thousands of people" at this moment? He was in the Shrieking Shack, standing in front of the wooden sign that said "Vicious dogs inside, keep away". Dumbledore could even imagine Ada's inner joy when she put up this wooden sign.
Reaching out to push open the wooden door, the morning sunlight shone on Dumbledore's face. He had not been here for a long time, but he still remembered the gloomy appearance of the shack. The windows of the shack were now bright and clear, and it was completely different from before.
There is a rocking chair and a small round table in front of the bright window. It is obvious that the owner of the shack often sits here, basking in the warm sunshine and enjoying life leisurely. There is a teapot and matching teacup on the table, and a copy of "The Quibbler" is placed on top of another open magazine.
Dumbledore walked over and sat on the rocking chair, and picked up the opened magazine. The contents had nothing to do with magic, they were all knitting methods. The open page teaches people how to knit a scarf, and the folded page teaches how to knit socks.
Dumbledore closed the magazine. He couldn't imagine Ada knitting socks. He and Ada both know what wool socks represent, which is family affection and the company of family members.
But Ada actually gave herself a pair of wool socks for Christmas, and after she complained about pricking her feet, she started to learn them.
Dumbledore knew that the word innocence never belonged to Ada, but she did such an innocent thing just because he had taken care of her before and favored her.
The sunshine outside the window hit Dumbledore's body, which was warm and comfortable. Dumbledore realized that he seemed to have forgotten something before. He forgot that Ada was such a child who loved the sun.
Fortunately, I caught up. Thanks to book friend Luo Yue Ruzheng for the reward.
