Chapter 183 Change of plan

Ada has made all of the potions here, except nettle wine. Although these potions may not have been made by her, she is familiar with them. So Ada just took a look and smelled it to determine which potion could pass through the black flames.

Ada usually carries snacks in her pockets, but before coming here today, she packed two fireproof potions she made. She felt that these things must be useful, otherwise why would Snape let him make this.

The three people who drank the fire-proof potion walked straight through the flames. The black flames licked their bodies but could not cause any harm to them.

Through the black flames, the three people came to the last room.

Looking at the Mirror of Erised in the center of the room, Ada breathed a sigh of relief. It was nice to have a level without ancient runes.

But when she turned around, Ada was a little worried again, because it was so easy for them to go this way. Let alone them, anyone with similar abilities could have made it through.

"Is this the magic mirror you mentioned before?" Fred pointed at the mirror and asked, "The mirror that can reflect people's deepest desires?"

Ada nodded and said: "Go and see, see how ugly you are inside..."

"Don't worry, it's definitely not as ugly as yours." George walked over immediately, "We won't see ourselves turning into a pile of gold with the magic stone."

When she and the twins were looking at the Magic Mirror of Tieris, Ada told them what she saw, her parents whom she had never even seen in this life, and the scene where stone was turned into gold.

The two brothers stood in front of the mirror, and they both said in disgust: "Fred (George), why do I still have you in my heart!"

Of course they don't dislike each other. They have been with each other from the earliest stage of their lives. In their hearts, the other person is the most important person to them. These two guys are duplicitous.

"What did you see?" Ada also stood in front of the mirror. What she saw in the mirror was the same as before, a healthy self and a strange young couple.

"I see George (Fred) and I opening a joke shop, and our product is a big success, it brings everyone happiness, and of course makes a lot of money." The twins said at the same time, obviously what they saw It's the same content.

"There are still differences." George said, "In my mirror, I am the brother..."

Fred looked at George inexplicably. He couldn't figure out why George would think this way. Is there any difference between who is older and who is younger?

There used to be a pair of twins in Ada's orphanage, and the two sisters fought every day because of their rivalry. Fred and George had never argued about this kind of thing. Ada also felt that they didn't care who was older and who was younger. It turned out that George really wanted to be an older brother in his heart.

"Is there anything else?" Ada asked, "Your desire is really simple."

"Of course, I saw you counting coins at the counter," Fred said.

"Although you look very embarrassed when you count a lot of money," George added, "but I believe that you are in pain and happiness."

At a loss for words, Ada couldn't think of anything to retort. Counting money must be a joy, unless the money was too little, or she was counting money for others, like a Gringotts Cursebreaker.

After learning about Bill's job, Ada was envious for a while, finding treasures for Gringotts and solving the curses attached to the treasures. It was a cool job. But after thinking about it, Ada no longer envied her, because they saw so many treasures every day, but these did not belong to them. This was really sad.

The three of them stood in front of the Mirror of Erised for a long time. The twins tried hard to control themselves and not allow themselves to think too much, but the scene in the mirror was still the same as before, without even the shadow of the Philosopher's Stone.

Even if Ada used Occlumency, she would not be able to get the Philosopher's Stone from the mirror.

The previous levels are indeed very simple, and even first-year students can pass them, but those levels are just foils and good-looking. As long as this last level is there, the magic stone is safe.

The three people who had looked in the mirror returned the same way. The troll was still unconscious and had no reaction to Ada and the twins who passed by again. The chess pieces in the chessboard room also returned to their original positions and stood in their positions again, but Ada who returned did not have to win another game, and the chess pieces automatically moved out of the way.

All levels have been restored, and the three people returning do not need to worry about being discovered.

The three chatting and laughing people had just opened the door to the fourth floor corridor when they saw Professor McGonagall standing at the door with a livid face. There is no doubt that Professor McGonagall, who is still up so late, must be waiting for Ada and the twins to come out.

Professor McGonagall walked in front without saying a word, and Ada and the twins followed behind with low eyebrows.

None of the three people escaped. They were caught by Professor McGonagall. There was no point in escaping, and the end would be even worse. Professor McGonagall led them directly to the eighth floor of the castle, where Dumbledore was waiting for them in the principal's office.

Dumbledore discovered that someone had broken into the restricted area on the fourth floor. He thought that Quirrell could finally bear it no longer, but it turned out that it was only Ada and the three of them who broke in, which disappointed Dumbledore. So the principal notified the vice principal and asked the vice principal to wait for them to come out at the door and bring these three ignorant students to see him.

In the principal's office, mist sprayed from the silver vessel filled the air. Phoenix Fox stood on his shelf, tilting his head and looking at the people in the office. No one spoke, whether it was Dumbledore and McGonagall who were sitting, or Ada, Fred, and George who were standing.

The calm before the storm is the most frightening. What is even more frightening is that after the calm, the storm did not come.

The twins were beating in their hearts. Although they often violated discipline, this was the biggest one, and they felt a little uneasy. Ada has always had a good attitude towards admitting her mistakes, but she has no fear in her heart. Dumbledore "allowed" her to get the Philosopher's Stone, but she didn't get it.

"Where are you going and what are you doing?" Dumbledore asked knowingly, his half-moon glasses reflecting the candlelight.

"Look in the mirror." Ada told the truth. They looked in the mirror for a while and then came back. They didn't even see the shadow of the Philosopher's Stone. The twins looked at Ada in surprise. They both admired Ada for being able to say such a sentence without blushing or heartbeat.

"Ada!" Professor McGonagall said sternly.

"How's it going? Did you get it?" Dumbledore didn't care about the childish answer and continued to ask.

"Of course not. The levels set by the professor are impeccable and we haven't found a way to pass them."

That is to say, the atmosphere is not suitable. Otherwise, you should replace it with a sentence: You have set the level yourself. Don’t you have any points in your heart?

Dumbledore didn't blame Ada for bringing the twins through, because he and Ada had an agreement beforehand. As long as Ada could get the Sorcerer's Stone, he would lend it to Ada. Dumbledore asked again: "Have you given up?"

"I have given up on it a long time ago. I just have nothing to do today to go take a look..."

"By the way, you want to investigate if I have any other preparations, right?" Dumbledore stood up, walked around the desk and stood in front of Ada.

"The things I promised you are still valid, but I hope you can say hello to me or Professor McGonagall next time you go there." Dumbledore said, "Also, you don't have to go through these to prove that you are better than Harry is strong, you are not walking on the same path. When you take the initiative to compete with Harry, you have already lost."

"I didn't." Ada said these words very forcefully. Her head, which had been lowered since entering the door, was raised for the first time. She looked directly into Dumbledore's blue eyes and expressed her dissatisfaction.

Dumbledore could feel Ada's anger from her eyes and words. Dumbledore also knew that such words would arouse her dissatisfaction, but he still said them.

Dumbledore wanted to find out what she thought of Harry and complete the extra link in his plan, so he had such a test.

"Professor, we are really bored today, so we went to the fourth floor. We have no other ideas!" The twins, who had been silent for a long time, hurriedly spoke to help explain. They didn't know how much Dumbledore and McGonagall valued Ada. But they know that Ada is certainly not as important as Harry!

"Albus, I know Ada, she would not have such thoughts." Professor McGonagall said softly, "She is unique and the best. She does not need to compare with anyone."

There was silence in the office, and the atmosphere was oppressive and uncomfortable.

"Tonight, you have been resting in the dormitory and have not been anywhere." Dumbledore took a while before continuing to speak. He did not make any punishment, but just waved his hand to let the three of them leave.

"Yes, we know..."

The twins were still talking to the two principals, but Ada didn't say anything. She left the principal's office angrily. Fred and George hurriedly followed, trying to catch up with Ada as she left.

Only Dumbledore and McGonagall were left in the office. Professor McGonagall said: "Albus, you shouldn't miss her so much..."

"Maybe I was wrong from the beginning, Minerva," Dumbledore took off his half-moon glasses, "I ignored her own thoughts."

In Dumbledore's plan, all people serve the ultimate goal, and if necessary, anyone can be sacrificed, including Harry and himself.

There was originally no place for Ada in this plan, but her sudden appearance attracted Dumbledore's attention. It had been a long time since he had seen such a child appear. Dumbledore believed that such Ada would one day Achieve more than you can achieve.

Dumbledore tried to integrate Ada into this plan to add an insurance policy. But Dumbledore found that he was wrong. There was no way for Ada to be integrated into this plan. Her addition would tilt the entire plan. This uncontrollable tilt was something Dumbledore didn't want to see.

Looking at the wide open wooden door, Dumbledore was lost in thought and didn't even notice McGonagall's departure.
