The Emerald at Hogwarts

Even the evening breeze was warm on the summer night, and the neat and loud calls of frogs broke the silence of St. Catchpore Village. A green Ford car quietly drove out of the Burrow, not far from the Burrow. The local car flew up unnaturally and disappeared into the vast night.

Mr. Weasley, who was running away, did not expect that his children would take the lead in the car he was thinking about; Mrs. Weasley, who had already fallen asleep, did not expect that her children were flying across England in a car that had been modified by magic. in the sky; Ginny did not expect that she would be surprised to receive "gifts" from her brothers tomorrow morning.

The car had left the town of Ottery-St. Mary. Ada was sitting in the back seat of the car. She lowered the window a little and stretched her hand out of the window, as if she wanted to touch the stars.Next to Ada sat Ron, George sat in the passenger seat, and Fred was controlling the car.

"Wait a minute, are we going in the wrong direction?" Ron, who was sitting in the back seat, pointed out the window and asked, "Why can we see the sea?"

Fred and George, who were sitting in the front row, started tinkering with the dashboard, and they also realized that they might have flown the wrong plane.Fred said, "I remember I was flying east, that's right."

The Surrey county where Little Whinging is located is indeed east of the village of St. Catchpole. Fred's direction of flight was not wrong, but he did not correct the course in time, so there was a deviation.

"Ada?" George asked, "Have you not been to Privet Drive? Do you have any comments?"

This is the wrong person to ask. If you ask a girl for directions (even if the girl is a wizard), you will probably not get a clear result. What's more, this is in the sky, there is no reference, and it is not easy to distinguish the southeast from the northwest. .

"I remember that Surrey is not far from London. How about we fly there?" Ada gave her own suggestion. She had always apparated to Little Whinging, and it was her first time to fly there.

Looking at Fred playing with the dashboard, Ada still felt that throwing the shoes was more reliable.

After a little twists and turns, the Ford finally appeared in Surrey, southwest of London. In order to easily identify the direction, Fred could only let the car fly at low altitude.

Flying over rows of buildings, they finally arrived at Privet Drive in Little Whinging, hovering outside an iron-barred bedroom window.Ron was peeking into the bedroom, and happened to see Harry who was awakened by the sound of the engine.

"Ron!" Harry shouted softly. He tiptoed to the window and pushed it up. "Why...are you...?"

The scene before him shocked Harry again. The way Ron appeared was so magical!Harry saw the twins grinning at him sitting in the front row, with Ada sitting next to Ron.

"Good evening, Harry." Ada waved to Harry sideways, "Why do you look so embarrassed every time I see you in Little Whinging?"

When the two met for the first time, Harry was soaked in the rain. Today, when they met, Harry looked like an animal in a zoo, locked in a cage.

Harry blushed at Ada's question and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Ron asked impatiently: "Why don't you reply to me? I invited you twelve times, and then dad came back and said that you used magic in front of Muggles and you were warned..."

"I didn't cast the spell outside school, a house elf did it!" Harry explained, "But the Ministry of Magic thinks it was me who cast the spell!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Gentlemen, if you have anything you can discuss on the way," Ada waved her hand and interrupted the exchange between Harry and Ron. "I think we should take Harry out of here first."

Fred threw Harry a piece of rope and asked him to tie the rope to the iron fence. After he tied it, Fred said: "Back off, Harry. You can also pack your things for school." .”

"My things are locked in the stairwell," Harry said as he retreated into the shadows. "I can't get out without them."

George, who was in the passenger seat, stretched out his hand to Ada. Ada, who understood the situation, fumbled on her head, then took off a hairpin and handed it to George.

The twins were interested in everything except class. Although they could not enter any neighborhood with a pack of instant noodles, this hairpin was enough to solve Harry's current dilemma.

In fact, there is another solution, which is to let Ada use magic, but there are some things that Ada cannot be sure of, so she did not take action.

Ada doesn't know how Trace Silk works. Although the system helps her block Trace Silk, even if she casts spells outside the school, the Ministry of Magic cannot know about it.But Ada was not sure whether her own magic fluctuations would trigger the traces on Harry or the other three people, causing the Ministry of Magic to think that the spell was cast by the four of them.

Using magic outside of school in a short period of time is against the rules. Even if the Ministry of Magic is easy to talk to, even if this person is Harry Potter, he can't slap someone in the face like that.

The car flew straight into the sky under Fred's control, a "clack" sound sounded, and the iron fence trapping Harry was uprooted.Fred hovered the car outside the bedroom window again. He and Fred carefully climbed into the room, unlocked the door and walked downstairs.

After a while, Fred, George, and Harry, who went down to help, carried a large box back to the bedroom out of breath, and then put the box in the back seat of the car with great difficulty.

As Harry tried to climb into the car, his uncle Vernon Dursley burst into the bedroom.

The scene before him made the neckless man extremely angry. He rushed to the window like a bull, trying to stop Harry from running towards freedom.

"Petunia!" growled Uncle Vernon, "He's getting away! He's getting away!"

George and Ron in the back seat of the car grabbed Harry tightly, and Vernon also grabbed Harry and wouldn't let go. The three of them seemed to be in a tug-of-war.Vernon lived up to his weight, and George and Ron felt like they were wrestling bulls.

Even though Harry struggled hard, he still couldn't break away from his uncle.

Ada, who had moved to the passenger seat, looked at Vernon and said in a commanding tone: "Let go!"

After the words fell, Vernon, who had been refusing to let go just now, unexpectedly let go of his hand.Although Vernon reacted quickly, it was too late and Harry climbed into the back seat of the car with the help of George and Ron.

"Harry, say goodbye to your relatives," Ada said with a smile. "The next time you meet again, it will be next June."

The turquoise Ford rushed towards the moon, flying on its way back to the Burrow.

In the car, Harry leaned back in his chair, grinning from ear to ear. The Weasley brothers also laughed, but Ada was looking out the car window at the evening breeze.

The command she just gave to Harry's uncle was just Ada's experiment. She was experimenting with one of the ring's passive qualities called Unwavering Passivity.

This passive can prevent Ada from being brainwashed by other people, and can also resist the soul-stealing curse to a certain extent. At the same time, this passive can also allow Ada to influence others in turn.It was precisely because of this passivity that Ada's order made Vernon lose consciousness for a moment and let go of Harry's hand.

In Ada's view, this passive is more used to protect herself from being fooled or influenced by others, but it cannot be used as one of her trump cards.

The person who can put Ada in danger at this stage is not a tough-minded person. Ada cannot exert this kind of influence on them, and she cannot take advantage of the opponent's moment of distraction to kill the opponent.

In the back seat of the car, Harry told the story of Dobby, the warning he gave himself, the smashed viola pudding, and the letter from the Ministry of Magic.

After hearing what Harry said, the car fell into silence, it was all so suspicious.

"Could someone be playing a trick on you to stop you from going back to school," said Ron, "like Draco Malfoy?"

Compared with Ron, the twins did not regard this suspicious incident as a joke. The experience of the past three years has made them much more mature. They believed that the house elf's warning was not without purpose.

"Ada, what do you think about this?" Fred asked. When in doubt, he would ask smarter people to brainstorm ideas so that he would not make mistakes easily.

"Whether it's a joke or an unlucky child's prank, it's always good to pay more attention." Ada said with a smile, "It seems that our new school year will not be peaceful."
