Chapter 211 The Penitent Sleeps Here
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A day at the Burrow begins with the noise of a ghoul tapping on a pipe. Whenever the ghoul feels the house is too quiet, it makes some noise to alert the Weasleys of its presence.
At first, whenever it made noise, Ada wanted to go up and kill it. Now, Ada has become accustomed to the presence of the ghoul, and the sound of it tapping the pipe every morning has become Ada's alarm clock.
As the noise rang out, the Burrow seemed to come alive and began to get busy. Ada was also awakened by this special alarm clock. She pulled up her hair and woke up Ginny in the same room.
Wearing pajamas with a bear pattern on them, Ada yawned as she walked down the stairs. The mirror on the kitchen mantelpiece once again used the word "sloppy" to describe her.
From the perspective of the mirror, there are no neat people in this world, especially in the Burrow, where everyone is sloppy.
Ada stood by the sink peeling potatoes by hand. She suffered the disadvantage of not being able to cook when she was in Nurmengard, so she learned the art from Mrs. Weasley on the first day she returned to the Burrow.
She does not seek to be as good as Mrs. Weasley. Ada's requirement for herself is that the food she makes is not unpalatable and can be swallowed. This is victory.
After a while, the tired Mr. Weasley returned home. He slumped on a chair in the kitchen with his eyes closed. It was obvious that he was very tired from working overtime this night.
Mr. Weasley has been on a roll lately, as the Ministry of Magic has been conducting a contraband seizure operation. However, the Ministry of Magic officials worked overtime but failed to achieve anything. They couldn't even catch two or three kittens, let alone big tigers.
There are a few good people who can hide contraband at home. They have either received wind of it long ago, or they are so clever that no trace can be found. This kind of search not only makes the officials of the Ministry of Magic as tired as dogs, but also makes them as tired as dogs. Doesn't have any effect.
Ada felt that these people were searching in the wrong direction. If they came to the Burrow to search, they would definitely check it. The green Ford was parked in the shed. Weasley had spent a huge sum of money to buy it first.
During the holidays, Mr. Weasley drove this Ford to King's Cross Station to pick everyone up.
The back seat of a family car could easily accommodate five people. If the car had not been modified by Mr. Weasley, Ada would have eaten the potatoes in her hands raw.
Do you think a space expansion can satisfy Mr. Weasley? No, how is it possible? Human beings always yearn for the sky. Mr. Weasley modified his car demon into a flying suit this summer vacation.
In order to prevent Muggles from seeing him while flying, Mr. Weasley also installed a cloaking device.
Not to mention Mr. Weasley's magical attainments, Mr. Weasley must have a place in the car modification industry. Modifying the suspension, engine, etc. is simply too weak. Just ask, have they modified the flying Ford car?
Not to mention that he has changed, they have never seen it, not only have they not seen it, not even the Weasley children have seen it. Because Mr. Weasley has been working overtime and has not yet found a chance to test fly.
After Mr. Weasley returned home, the children also came to the kitchen one after another. The first one to appear was Percy with a chicken coop on his head. He received his O.W.Ls results a few days ago, but the twelve certificates of excellence did not make Percy happy. He had a slumped face throughout the holiday, as if his prefect had been masturbated.
The twins started chatting as soon as they entered the kitchen. Fred couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, did you find anything interesting last night?"
Are the twins really interested in their father's uninteresting job?
Of course not. Officials from the Ministry of Magic could hardly find any contraband and could only find some magically modified Muggle items. The twins just wanted to hear this content from their father to see if they could find new inspiration.
"That's not fun at all, and it's also very dangerous." Mr. Weasley said. "Many times these items are used on Muggles, which can cause great harm to Muggles. Wizards should not do that. "
Breakfast had been prepared and the family began to sit down around the dining table. When Mr. Weasley continued to teach his son about the dangers of abusing Muggle items and how wizards should get along with Muggles, Mrs. Weasley said something He immediately shut his mouth.
"I don't know how dangerous it is to misuse Muggle items, but I do know that that old car in the shed will cost you your job, Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley said as she divided the fried eggs. If you break the law and abuse your power, guess what the people in the ministry will do to you?"
Mr. Weasley lowered his head and did not choose to argue with his wife. He thought of something that could be used to change the subject. He said: "Ada, how was your trip to Little Whinging the other day? Did you get into any trouble?"
A few days ago, Ada took the time to go to Little Whinging, laid down white lilies in front of the tombstone, and after remembering this kind old man for a while, Ada left the cemetery.
"No, everything went well," Ada said. "I went to the cemetery to have a look and then came back. I didn't stay any longer."
The two paragraphs before and after were irrelevant, and although the turn was a bit abrupt, at least it prevented Mrs. Weasley from clinging to the Ford car. From this point of view, Mr. Weasley's tactic of changing the subject was successful. And Ada also found the reason why the twins were not clever in changing the subject, Suigen.
"Little Whinging, when did you go to Little Whinging?" Ron, the cook, finally raised his head. This familiar address made Ron overcome the spirit of the cook. He thought of his good friend who lived in Little Whinging. .
Ron held up the sausage and said, "Ada, take me with you next time you go! I wrote many letters to Harry during the holidays, but he didn't reply to any of them. I'm worried that something will happen to him."
Old Errol suffered a lot this holiday. He dragged his old body to Little Whinging again and again, but failed to bring back a reply from Harry.
Not only Ron, but Hermione also wrote to Harry, but also received no reply. The two friends who lived and died together were very worried about the lost Harry.
"Harry will be fine, you should worry more about yourself, Ronald." Mrs. Weasley said, "If you are really worried, just wait until your father is busy these days and ask your father to see you then. look."
Ron was depressed and silent. He was really worried about Harry, especially after what happened in the first grade, he felt that danger would appear next to Harry at any time.
After having breakfast and changing into a light-colored robe, Ada left the Burrow and headed to the Leaky Cauldron.
Just now at the dinner table, Ada did not tell the truth. She did not stay in the cemetery longer, but after leaving the cemetery, she did not go back to the Burrow directly. Instead, she went to another place. She went to Grover Cecil. 's cemetery.
Glover Cecil's graveyard is in the Cornish countryside, home to beautiful rugged coastlines, green valleys, and Cornish elves.
This iron-green elf can grow up to eight inches and likes to play all kinds of tricks and make all kinds of pranks. Does this introduction have a sense of déjà vu from Fred and George?
However, Ada did not encounter this kind of elf in Cornwall. She went directly to the town where Cecil and his family once lived, and Cecil is buried here.
Although there was the address given by Dumbledore, it still took Ada a long time to find Grover Cecil's tombstone, because his tombstone had no name, and there was only one line on the tombstone that read: A Confessor He sleeps here forever.
The tombstone was a requirement in Cecil's will, and even this cemetery was chosen by him during his lifetime. This is the closest place to the Cecil family cemetery. After his death, Dumbledore buried him here according to the contents of his will, so that he could accompany his family here and repent of his sins.
A year ago, Dumbledore buried Cecil alone. No one came to mourn him. Ada also refused to attend his funeral. She could not face the professor who forced her to kill. A year later, Ada came to visit Cecil's grave. Ada was now able to face the professor, who had taught her a lesson with her life.
Before leaving, Ada said to the unmarked tombstone: "To this day, I still have not forgiven you for your selfishness, but I am always grateful for your generosity."
In fact, I finished writing it in the afternoon, but I was not satisfied with the plot, so I deleted everything I had written... Then I have been holding it back until now, and I re-wrote a new one. The follow-up plot I originally planned is no longer needed... …
