Chapter 297 Halloween Surprise

As Halloween approaches, the temperature in Hogwarts is getting colder and colder, and the students are no longer enthusiastically discussing how long Lupine will survive Snape's torture.

It wasn't that the rumor was unfounded, or that the two professors had some intimate behavior that broke the rumor. The rumors were dissipated only because students could go to Hogsmeade on Halloween, the first Hogsmeade break of the semester.

The appeal of Hogsmeade is not something to be blown away, especially for third and fourth year students. Some of them have never been to Hogsmeade once, and some have only been there a few times and haven't had enough fun yet.

Only people like Ada and the twins who come and go frequently would think that Hogsmeade is just like that, nothing more than that.

The students were happily talking loudly about what to do first in Hogsmeade. Honeydukes Candy Shop, Zuko's Toys and Joke Shop, and the Shrieking Shack were the three place names that appeared most frequently.

What makes the students so excited is that besides being able to go to Hogsmeade, the Halloween dinner is also today.

What a perfect day it would be to go to Hogsmeade for a day of carefree fun and then come back in the evening to enjoy a sumptuous dinner!

While everyone was having a heated discussion, one person seemed to be very unsociable. Harry had been looking glum these past few days. Because he ran away from the Dursleys, he didn't have a parent's signature, so he wasn't allowed to go on holiday to Hogsmeade.

In previous years, Professor McGonagall would have raised her hand and allowed Harry to go to Hogsmeade to relax. But not this year. Sirius Black was probably here for Harry, and it would be unwise to let Harry leave school at this time.

On the morning of Halloween, students could obviously sleep in, but the auditorium was filled with people early. Everyone wanted to get to Hogsmeade as soon as possible, and they didn't want to waste a minute.

Just as everyone was devouring their food, six owls flew into the auditorium carrying a slender package. The owls circled down, placed the package in front of Ada, and dropped a letter.

As soon as a few owls flapped their wings and flew away, Ada pushed the slender package to the twins and opened the letter to read it. The above are all clichés such as "Thank you for your order and wish you a happy life". There is no sincerity at all, and there is no mention of any gifts.

The twins' eyes were wide open. At this moment, the package was in an elongated shape. You could figure out what was inside without opening it. Fred said: "You won't really buy it..."

"No, what are you thinking about? I have already promised Mrs. Weasley." Ada threw the letter aside, picked up the porridge bowl and continued to drink porridge. On a cold morning, a bowl of steaming porridge is so comforting!

George pointed at the package and asked, "What's in it?" He agreed not to buy it, but secretly placed an order behind his back. He was a master at building plank roads and secretly crossing the warehouse!

The slender package had already attracted the attention of the Gryffindor students, and Angelina picked up the letter that was thrown on the table.

After she read it, she answered George's question on behalf of Ada who was busy eating porridge. She said: "A letter of thanks from Nimbus Company, thanking Miss Drizzt for her love of the Nimbus series."

Fred and George opened the package under the encouragement of everyone, and two brand-new, gold and red Nimbus 2001 were placed in front of everyone. In addition to the Nimbus Company's logo, the smooth wooden handle of the broomstick is also engraved with the word Weasley.

"Aren't you untrustworthy? You don't keep your word!" Fred didn't get the advantage and behaved, but he still felt that Ada should not spend the money. He and George are both hitters, and relatively speaking, the requirements for flying broomsticks are not that high.

The Gryffindor Quidditch players also came over. They didn't show any fuss at the twins receiving such a gift, nor did they feel any dissatisfaction because Ada only ordered two broomsticks.

If they knew that Ada originally planned to buy two Firebolts, they might be a little surprised and a little envious.

"Speak," George snatched the porridge bowl from Ada's hand, "don't act dumb."

Ada took out the silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth. The slow look on her face made George anxious, and he wanted to grab the silk handkerchief and wipe it for her. Ada said slowly: "Watch your words, Fred Weasley, don't ruin my reputation for no reason."

The Gryffindors gathered in a circle all rolled their eyes, and even Hermione, who was joining in the fun, rolled her eyes with difficulty.

They seem to want to say: Sister, don’t you know your reputation? Was it something that happened at the end of last semester that gave you some wrong illusions?

"I just promised Mrs. Weasley not to buy Firebolts. I did what I promised!" Ada said confidently.

She promised not to buy a Firebolt, and she did not buy a Firebolt. Who said the Weasleys didn't say they couldn't buy other brands of broomsticks. There's nothing wrong with this. This reason is impeccable. The only fault is that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were not rigorous enough in their explanation.

After hearing that Ada originally planned to buy the Firebolt, the Gryffindor players finally couldn't sit still. If Ada had really ordered two Firebolts, Oliver Wood might have jumped over and kissed Ada by now.

Captain Wooden is a man who spends his life playing Quidditch. He is the player on the team who has been injured and left the field the most times. He is very likely to express his excitement in this way of risking his life to thank Ada for helping the team.

No one asked Ada such silly questions as why she didn't order Seven Nimbus 2001. Ada and the twins had a life-and-death relationship, so two broomsticks were nothing.

Since the first grade, the three of them have experienced so many things together, which no one else has experienced before. There is no such thing as being unfair to one another. The relationship between the three of them can no longer be measured by external objects like Jin Gallon.

Even if Ada did order seven broomsticks, no one would or could accept them. If they accept this "funding", the relationship between them and Ada will change, and they will no longer even be friends.

The crowd watching the fun gradually dispersed. Fred and George played with Nimbus 2001. They would be lying if they said they didn't like it, but it didn't stop the two brothers from talking about it.

"You shouldn't do this. Your behavior is like squandering." George said naggingly.

The two brothers were worried that Ada would get into the habit of spending money lavishly, and they were also worried that one day she would be kicked out. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.

Ada pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It did leave a bad impression."

"Look what I'm talking about!" Fred said as if he really meant it. "Being proud of yourself is not a compliment."

Ada nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then continued: "Grandma thinks I am too petty. If you want to give me something, I will give you the best one, even if you are short of three melons and two dates. But I promised Mrs. Weasley..."

The twins did not listen to Ada's endless chatter, but picked up their brooms and returned to the common room. I went to Paris and didn't learn anything else. I just learned some about Versailles and came back.

Ada puffed her lips and walked outside alone. When Fred and George came back, the three of them went to Hogsmeade to hang out together. Anyway, they had nothing to do.

There is also a lone figure at the gate of the castle, looking at himself in pity. Harry Potter was standing alone outside, looking eagerly in the direction of Hogsmeade, like a watchstone.

The students passed the inspection by the professors talking and laughing, and the wonderful Hogsmeade was waiting for them.

But no one knows what kind of surprises this Halloween will bring to Hogwarts, and today has just begun.
