Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 424 Adult Twins

April is the season when the grass grows and the orioles fly. Hogwarts has also changed its color, and everything you look at is a refreshing green.

On April Fool's Day, Fred and George finally waited for their belated seventeenth birthday. The once full of beautiful young people were finally about to grow up.

On their shoulders are no longer the breeze and the bright moon, no longer the willows, but heavier responsibilities, the responsibilities of adults.

This day happened to be a Saturday, so there were no classes or Quidditch practice. Fred and George could celebrate their birthdays and commemorate their last teenage years.

In the morning, Ada and the twins walked out of the dormitory and met in the common room.

Everyone in the common room who knew the twins greeted them with a smile and wished them both a happy birthday. The twins responded with smiles one by one. They had been looking forward to their seventeenth birthday for a long time.

Although Fred and George can be a bit naughty at times, it's really hard not to like them.

"Happy birthday, Fred George!" Ada said. She walked to the twins, and several students surrounding the twins left after saying hello to Ada, showing her perfect eyesight.

A look of disgust suddenly appeared on Ada's face, and she said: "You... what happened to your hair? Was it licked by the baby cow?"

The twins were probably so excited about turning seventeen that they got up early to toss their hair.

The twins no longer styled their hair like adults. Only Merlin knew how much hair oil the two of them had caused. Their fiery red hair became smooth and smooth, as if it had been licked by several calves.

"Doesn't it look good?" George asked confidently, "Dad had a hairstyle like this when he was young."

Ada's face was full of disbelief. Did the balding Mr. Weasley also comb his slicked-back hair? She was probably used to seeing Mr. Weasley go bald, and Ada couldn't even imagine Mr. Weasley with hair on his head.

"Don't judge us by your sense of fashion," Fred said dissatisfied, "You little fool who only knows how to style your hair in a shawl and a bun."

Ada was not happy about it this time. Just kidding, what do you mean by only being able to have shawl hair and a bun! She can also do braids! Furthermore, there are many types of shawl hair, and they also need to be taken care of!

Ada lifted her bangs and asked, "Didn't you notice anything different between me today and yesterday?"

"No!" the twins said categorically, "I didn't see it at all. Or did you wash your hair today?"

Yesterday, Ada's hair style was the simplest. Just press your fingers together and it was done, without any bells and whistles. Today, Ada styled her hair "carefully". Not only did she apply hair oil to make her hair more airy, but she also put a lot of thought into braiding it.

Pursing her lips, Ada spread her clenched fists. It was stupid of her to discuss the change in her hairstyle with Fred and George.

The twins were completely unaware that they had just been beaten, and they both opened their palms to Ada at the same time.

Of course Ada knew what they meant, but she pretended not to understand and slapped their outstretched hands hard with her free right hand.

The effect of force was mutual. The thick-skinned twins didn't feel much pain, but Ada waved her hand away.

"Stop pretending, it's a birthday present." The twins said, "Stop hiding it, we all saw it."

Ada had no intention of hiding it, she was just shocked by the two brothers' hairstyles. Ada put the two boxes in their hands and said again: "Happy birthday."

The twins took the gift box, and their next movements were very synchronized. They put the box to their ears and shook it, as if they could tell what was inside just by hearing.

"What's in this?" Fred asked as he shook the box. "Isn't it something strange?"

"It's not perfume, is it?" George asked, shaking the box to imitate the sound.

Ada sat on the armchair nearby and said with a smile: "If it were perfume, if you shook it like this, it would be broken. It's a big dung egg, a mini dung egg."

Naturally, the twins didn't believe this, so they sat down and began to open the gifts. Practice brings true knowledge. Only when you take it apart can you know what is inside.

I have to take it apart anyway, so I just held it to my ear and shook it blindly, which was unnecessary.

Soon, the twins opened the box. The two brothers looked at the gift lying quietly in the box and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"A razor!" said Ada. "Don't you know what a razor is for?"

Of course I do. How can a man not know the function of a razor? It is a must-have item for men. Even if you want to grow a beard, you still need to take care of it regularly, otherwise it will make you look particularly sloppy.

It is difficult for a sloppy man to win the favor of others, unless he has a special occupation.

Giving razors to the twins represents Ada's wish that the two brothers can grow into mature, neat men, and become men worthy of the trust of others.

In fact, Ada wanted to give them watches, but after thinking about it, she felt it was inappropriate. Although she was a few months older than the twins, it was better to give a gift like a watch to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

Just because she was a few months older than the twins, Ada often took advantage of her sister's money in front of the two brothers (although the effect was not very good), and Fred and George often complained about this.

The two brothers' complaint was why they couldn't have been born a few months earlier, so that they would be older than Ada. Especially after Dumbledore said that only those over the age of seventeen could register for the joint entrance examination of the three schools, Fred and George's resentment became even deeper.

In this regard, Ada just wanted to say that the twins were thinking about Peach. If they had been born a few months earlier, they wouldn't even be considered premature babies, it would be a miscarriage.

If it had been earlier, then she simply wasn’t pregnant...

Unless...unless the two of them are willing to join Percy and transform from Weasley twins to Weasley triplets.

After the twins put away the razors and sent them back to their dormitories, the three of them went to Hogsmeade together. Instead of using the secret passage behind the One-Eyed Witch, we took the Twilight Cabin.

The Twilight Shack is the original Shrieking Shack, which was originally built in Hogsmeade. However, in order to prevent the secret that Lupine was a werewolf from being revealed, and to prevent others from accidentally breaking in, its doors and windows were sealed.

After taking over the shack, Ada did not reopen the door to Hogsmeade, she just made some changes to the windows so that the shack could be bathed in sunlight again.

The door to Hogsmeade was opened after Sirius renovated the shack to make it easier for him to enter and exit.

However, in the eyes of the villagers outside, the Twilight Shack was still the Screaming Shack, and nothing had changed.

Three people put on civilian clothes and appeared out of thin air in the desolate courtyard of the Screaming Shack. Fortunately, no one didn't see it, otherwise the news of the shack being haunted would have spread again.

Hogsmeade is always lively on weekends, and the streets are full of wizards who come to play, so no one feels strange about Ada and the twins. They just regard the three as young people who have just graduated.

Ada and the twins walked into the Three Broomsticks talking and laughing. This was their destination.

Fred and George strongly requested to come to the Three Broomsticks today. It was not for anything else. They just wanted to enjoy the power of adults.

Ada found an empty seat and sat down, supporting her head with her right hand and looking at the twins. I saw Fred and George walking to the bar in a hurry, shouting, for fear that others would not know that they were adults.

"Two hot glasses of Firewhiskey!" Fred shouted.

"No ice! Nothing!" George shouted too.

Carrying two glasses of firewhiskey with nothing added, the two brothers walked over to Ada. The two put the whiskey on the table, and their serious faces smiled at the same time.

"It's so cool!"

“It feels so good not to be rejected!”

Yes, back in the day when school wasn't allowed to go to Hogsmeade, the twins snuck here just so they could loudly order a glass of whiskey because they were adults.

Seeing Fred and George smiling, Ada couldn't help but think: How could they be adults? They were obviously still the same!

"As long as you two are happy," Ada said, "I just want to ask, will you just bring back two glasses?"
