Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 212 Another Day for Kavin

There is a very famous street in London called Charing Cross Street. This street is famous for its bookstores. It has everything from modern bookstores to ancient bookstores. You can always find what you love here.

At the same time, it is also the entrance to another world, a place where little wizards of Muggle origin can experience magic for the first time.

This entrance is an old pub, small, dark but cozy. It is protected by many powerful hidden spells, preventing it from being discovered by Muggles and not being disturbed by Muggles.

For centuries it was more than just a pub, a place to exchange wizarding gossip, it was also a haven and sanctuary for wizards.

This was the busiest time of the day in the bar. The small bar was crowded with drinkers, making it a bit noisy but with a bit of fireworks.

Ada carried the tray among the conversing drinkers, occasionally interjecting a few words. At first, Ada stayed in the Leaky Cauldron just to make money. Now she has another reason to stay here. She likes the fireworks here.

A few down-and-out young wizards sitting in the corner were criticizing current affairs. Their clothes were a little old and they were drinking the cheapest brandy. There are also some people gathered together, chatting about their parents, sharing some interesting things in life, or sharing each other's troubles.

Others are bragging about their experiences, saying that they saw a dark wizard or some dark creature at a certain time and place.

Whenever they reach a key point, they will clear their throat or cough a few times, and then a drinker will buy such a person a glass of wine so that they can continue to listen to the story.

These stories may be true or false, but no one cares about the authenticity of the stories. As long as they are told vividly and interestingly, that is enough.

Of course, if you see someone successfully cheating someone out of drinking in this way, other people will follow suit, but not many people can actually cheat them into drinking. Telling stories is something that sounds very simple and only requires a mouth. But when you do it, you find that it is a very difficult thing. Just having a mouth is really not enough.

Only those who can tell good stories can get a glass of wine. Such people are rare in bars, so people will willingly pay for them to buy drinks. If everyone can tell good stories, this kind of exchange will The drinking act has long since disappeared.

There’s no shortage of people in the world who can tell great stories, but there’s no shortage of them in bars. Such great talents would not settle in a small place like the Leaky Cauldron. Instead, they would write books and make a lot of money, such as Gilderoy Lockhart.

Gilderoy Lockhart, a writer who won the Order of Merlin, Third Class, by writing books and relying on his experiences in the books. He has just recently released his new book "Magical Me", which caused a carnival among witches as soon as it came out.

Witches of all ages poured into Diagon Alley in batches, and all the bookstores were occupied by Lockhart's fangirls. If she didn't have a large family to take care of, Ada believed that Mrs. Weasley would also appear in this group of fangirls. She admired Lockhart, a great writer with real skills and a "charming smile".

During this time, Lockhart was often praised in the bar. In his book, he was omnipotent and did many great things. If these things are true, they are indeed worthy of praise.

Ada once accidentally talked to Professor McGonagall about Lockhart. Professor McGonagall had a very bad impression of the great writer. She thought Lockhart was a vain fame-seeker.

Although Gilderoy Lockhart's heroic deeds increased, it still failed to change Professor McGonagall's bad impression of Lockhart.

Mentioning this best-selling author, Ada thought of the wizard who encountered vampires and werewolves in the Balkans. Last year, Ada just said something casually, but this man actually went to write a book like Feng Lunyin, and then Ada never saw this man again.

I don't know if the wizard who was deceived by his words has written a good book or published it, let alone whether he starved to death. Ada felt that her talkative words were really a sin, and now she just hoped that she would be okay.

Holding the empty tray, Ada returned behind the bar, picked up the wine glass and started fishing. This skill has always been self-taught and does not need to be taught at all.

Although she was fishing, Ada did not let herself go. While wiping the wine glass in her hand, she carefully observed the guests in the bar to see if they had any other needs.

Multitasking is a very easy thing for Ada now. After all, Snape's "torture-style" education method is still very effective.

Catching fish is a comforting thing, and Ada just fished and worked in the Leaky Cauldron, and the whole month of July passed before she knew it.

One night in early August, Ada was preparing to rest in her room, but she was called out by the sneaky twins. When Ada followed the two brothers out, she found that Ron was also there.

Looking at Ada who didn't understand the situation, Fred said straight to the point: "Ada, we are going to pick up Harry. Do you want to come with us?"

"How are you planning to go?" Ada asked, "You're not going to drive Mr. Weasley's car, are you?"

Looking at the three people who were silent, Ada instantly confirmed her suspicion that they were indeed working on the idea of ​​a modified Ford. Ada continued: "You should know Mrs. Weasley's attitude towards the car. If you dare to touch this car..."

"Of course we have considered the consequences," said Ron, "but Ada, you heard what Dad said, Harry needs us now."

The cause of the matter originated from a message brought back by Mr. Weasley, a message about Harry Potter.

Harry was warned by the Ministry of Magic because he used magic outside of school and cast spells in front of Muggles, which violated the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act".

After learning about this, Ron couldn't sit still. He thought that Harry must have a reason for using magic outside of school. In addition, since there was no reply to the letter, he felt that Harry must be having a very bad life now.

After thinking hard for two days, Ron found Fred and George, hoping that his two brothers could help him find a way to rescue Harry who was in trouble.

This Ford car that had been magically modified to fly was the method the twins came up with to fly to Little Whinging at night, pick up the missing Harry, and then return to the Burrow at night.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Fred said, "Pick up Harry and we'll be back soon. When we get home, it won't be daylight yet, so Mom won't know."

"After Harry arrives at the Burrow, mother's focus will definitely be on Harry." George said, "Even if mother guesses what we did, she won't punish us. She doesn't care about us."

The three brothers were confident in their plan. They could not only take Harry out of the miserable Muggle life, but also satisfy his curiosity without being punished by Mrs. Weasley. They killed three birds with one stone.

Ada wanted to ask where they got this inexplicable confidence that Mrs. Weasley would not punish them for making mistakes because of Harry's arrival.

In fact, the twins plus Ron are enough to do this, and it doesn't matter whether Ada goes or not. The twins and Ron called Ada, just to ask a question and get to know Ada.

If Ada goes with them, it will be equivalent to an extra boost. If Ada doesn't go, once they don't come back on time, Ada can delay Mrs. Weasley and provide them with a cover.

"How about it, do you want to go together?" Fred asked bewilderedly, "You must have never ridden in a flying car. Do you really not want to try it?"
