Chapter 517 Reunion After a Long Absence
If the political center of the British wizarding world is the Ministry of Magic, then Diagon Alley is the commercial center of the British wizarding world. The bustling Diagon Alley is famous throughout the wizarding world.
It's just that it's late at night now, and Diagon Alley has faded away from the hustle and bustle and bustle of the day. Most of the shops on both sides of the market have closed, and there are only a few pedestrians on the street who are unwilling to leave.
Ada walked down the street, still wearing the same robes she had worn at Hogwarts. She's not that particular. She has to change her clothes after killing someone, which is really troublesome.
Continuing along the street, Ada stopped at the door of No. 93 Diagon Alley. This place is different from other stores. It is currently closed for renovation. There is also a sign at the door of the store that reads:
Closed for renovation, only accepting orders
Weasley's Wizard Wheezes W.W.
Looking at this standing sign, Ada let out a sigh, and she was amused by the thoughts that flashed through her mind. The twins' surname is Weasley, so they added two letters W after the store name. What if they bring Ada with them?
W.W.T? W.W.R? Or W.W.E?
Fortunately, it was late at night and no one could be seen on the street. If someone saw Ada smiling silly while looking at the standing sign, they would probably sigh: She is a good little girl, but she is a fool.
After laughing, Ada knocked on the store door.
After only a moment, I heard someone inside: "Coming, coming, who is it?"
Listening to the familiar voice coming from the store, Ada's fatigue seemed to be swept away. She deliberately pinched her voice and said: "From the Diagon Alley Commercial Management Office, come and take a look."
There was a sound of the door latch, and the locked store door was opened a crack, revealing a very familiar face with messy fiery red hair and something that looked like paint on the face.
The door was pushed open suddenly, and George walked out excitedly and hugged Ada at the door.
Fred and George are twins, but there are some subtle differences in their looks. George's nose is straighter and more compact, and his face is thinner than his twin brother Fred's.
Although George was delighted to see Ada again, he did not get carried away. After the hug, George hurriedly pulled Ada into the store, while he poked his head around to look around. After confirming that no one was around, he bolted the store door again.
In the store illuminated by orange lights, Ada carefully looked at everything in the store.
The decoration was only more than half completed, and rows of shelves were stacked in front of the painted wall. There were also some gadgets that Ada had never seen before on the shelves. They should be things that the twins developed and researched after she left.
At this time, Fred's voice came from upstairs in the store. He said, "George, what's going on?"
Fred said as he walked downstairs quickly with his wand, and then he saw Ada standing there happily. Like George, Fred was also very excited, and he hugged Ada after a long separation.
There are many words that don’t need to be said. People who understand will naturally understand an action or a look.
Although they haven't seen each other for just a few months, it can be described as a long time for the three of them.
They randomly pulled three boxes of similar heights and sat down casually. The twins stared at Ada hard without blinking. Even though Ada was thick-skinned, she felt a little feverish at the twins' hot eyes.
After a long time, Fred suddenly said: "Are you fat?"
These words made Ada lose her defense a little and she almost fell off the box she was sitting on. This was nothing, but what George said next made her want to lift the box and hit the two brothers on their heads.
"It's okay to be fatter. She was too thin before." George said, "It's just that the fat seems to have grown on her face."
The first sentence was pleasant to Ada's ears, but the latter sentence almost killed her head. The leisurely and comfortable life during this period did make Ada gain a little weight, but it was not as exaggerated as the twins said.
It's just because they haven't seen each other for a long time that the twins' eyes look particularly sharp. It's like every time you go home for the New Year, your elders tell you you've lost weight. These are all visual errors caused by not seeing them for a long time.
"I'm not fat!" Ada squeezed out a sentence through her teeth. Even though she is shouting and screaming, she doesn't like people saying she is fat, especially her face. At most it can be described as round and cute.
After making a joke, the three of them chatted passionately again.
There was no Umbridge, no Ministry of Magic, no Voldemort, all the talk was about this joke shop. There was no intrigue or intrigue, just the dreams of the three of them when they were young.
It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that the three of them went to bed separately.
It seemed that just as she lay down and closed her eyes for a moment, Ada was awakened by the noise downstairs. The sleep time was short, and the sleeping place was made of wooden boards, but Ada slept well.
After putting away the blanket, Ada poked her head upstairs to watch. It turned out that someone was delivering goods to her door, so there was some noise. Seeing that nothing happened, Ada went to wash up. By the time she was tidying up, everyone in the shop had also left.
Walking downstairs and sitting at the makeshift dining table, Ada looked expectantly at the covered breakfast in front of her. Before going to bed, George asked her what she wanted to eat for breakfast, and she said casually.
Ada opened the lid with expectation while fantasizing about what kind of breakfast George would prepare for her. After seeing what was under the cover clearly, Ada's face fell instantly.
Under the lid was a saucepan with a piece of parchment inside the pan that said: Whatever.
There's nothing wrong, George did prepare according to Ada's ideas. Ada said it was casual, and George prepared it casually, with strict logic and strictness.
Seeing that the twins were overjoyed and laughing, Ada said angrily: "Is it funny? It's not funny at all. It's a joke from the last century. What's so funny about picking up people's teeth!"
Ada's furious look made the twins laugh even harder, and their throats could be seen.
The two laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if it's old or not, it just works! What's better than starting the day with loud laughter?"
Laughter is contagious, which is why comedies are funnier in theaters. Driven by the laughter of the twins, Ada also laughed. If she hadn't picked up the pan with her left hand, this scene would have been really beautiful.
Of course, George would not really let Ada use parchment paper for breakfast. The three of them had the same breakfast, which was a three-piece set of bread, fried eggs, and milk.
In addition to the three-piece breakfast set, George also handed Ada today's copy of the Daily Prophet. After Ada's name appeared in the newspaper for many years, she finally grabbed the front page. She was much luckier than a certain rock singer.
The entire page is a single photo of Ada, which was taken when Ada participated in the Triwizard Tournament. At the bottom of the photo it says:
wanted! ! !
Esmeralda Twisted
The Ministry of Magic wants to commit a crime and is very dangerous! Tortured and brutally murdered Dolores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic! The secret murder of three Ministry of Magic employees! Suspected of participating in Albus Dumbledore's rebellion!
…
Putting down the newspaper, Ada curled her lips. She felt that Cornelius Fudge was too stingy. Those who provide accurate information to the Ministry of Magic will only be rewarded with fifty gold galleons, and those who capture Ada will be rewarded with five hundred gold galleons.
What an international joke! With such a small bounty, who are you looking down on!
Also, what does "the offender is violent and murderous, and if encountered, it is recommended to kill him directly"! Now, Ada especially wants to go to the Ministry of Magic to let Fudge know what cruelty and bloodthirsty are.
But the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
"Have you finished reading?" George asked, "After reading it, you have nothing to say?"
Ada didn't say anything and continued to eat. Everyone knew what she was going to do when she returned to England this time, but probably no one thought she would do it so brilliantly and directly.
"Don't pretend to be dumb." Fred said, "Silence is not the answer to the problem. You can either take us with you, or you can say something today to let our brothers know!"
Ada angrily chopped the fried eggs on the plate into fine pieces, but the twins had no intention of letting her go.
"Blood debt must be paid with blood, and everyone must pay for what they have done." Ada said, "Including me."
George said: "I don't know what reasons you did this for. I just want you to consider Professor McGonagall's feelings. When she wakes up from a coma and learns about your behavior, do you think she will how to think?"
Speechless, Professor McGonagall has always had great expectations for Ada. If Ada really fell into boundless darkness, she would probably be very sad!
The twins looked at each other, understanding each other's thoughts, and George continued: "We won't stop you, and we won't say anything more. We always believe in you."
Ada raised her head and looked at Fred and George. The faces of the two brothers seemed to become a little blurry. Some people will hold on to your sins and will not forgive you, but there will always be people who don't care about you and will cross mountains and rivers to protect you, just like there is always dawn in the long night.
"I admit that what I did was a bit extreme, but I can't stop. I have a reason to do it." Ada said.
