Chapter 319 Girls’ Curiosity
Early the next morning, the Christmas vacation officially begins. The auditorium became deserted, and the students left the school in a hurry without even eating breakfast.
There are even fewer students staying on campus for Christmas this year than last year. Counting the professors staying on campus, there are only a dozen people in total. Also in the 1+1 mode, the combination of Sirius Black and Dementors is no less intimidating than the heir of Slytherin and the Basilisk.
If nothing else goes wrong, Sybill Trelawney will make her prediction about "13 people at the same table" at the school Christmas dinner.
Unfortunately, Ada could no longer hear Professor Trelawney's prophecy. After bidding farewell to Fred and George, she went to the other side of the strait alone.
When Ada returned to Paris and returned to the house near the Champs Elysées, a feeling of home arose in her heart.
Agnes, the house elf, would wait for her at the door and say, "Welcome home."
Grandma Vida would sit closest to the door, greet her with a smile, and then gently hold her in her arms. This is a home that only belongs to Ada. No matter how late it is, there will be people waiting for her to come back.
A wanderer returns home and a tired bird returns to its nest. This is probably what it feels like!
Ada didn't know exactly. She just felt that the bumpy journey back here from the Scottish Highlands was worth it.
At dinner, as if she was worried that Ada would starve and lose weight at school, the house elf Agnès prepared a large table of French delicacies and despised her British counterpart with practical actions.
French oysters, foie gras, snails, black truffles and other foods are available, in addition to red wine from the Medoc. Ada has not done any research on wizarding red wine, but she knows that many of the top wineries in Muggle society come from Medoc.
Whether it is a wizard who thinks highly of himself or a Muggle who is constantly improving, they all have something in common in terms of luxury and enjoyment. After all, regardless of the existence of magic power, everyone is essentially human and can be killed by a bullet.
After a carefully prepared dinner, Vida and Ada went to the newly built balcony on the top floor of the house to admire the winter night in Paris. Ada likes the place in front of the window very much, where she can read a book or watch people and scenery.
Vida leaned against the railing of the balcony and said while shaking the glass: "Do you like it? This is Agnès's Christmas gift to you. She also specially raised the height so that you can't see the outside. It’s obscured by other houses.”
The balcony juts out from the house abruptly, looking out of place and hardly to anyone's taste. It seems to exist only so that the owner of the house can better appreciate the scenery outside, and other issues are not considered.
Ada had also seen the shapes of houses in the magical world. Ada felt that the reason why the Burrow was built like that was entirely because there were too many children to live in, so it could only be built one layer on top of another.
Most of the houses in the magical world can be evaluated as illegal construction. Privately built buildings and strange shapes are also common phenomena. Wizards seem to think that practicality is the purpose of a house, and beauty is not the first priority.
House elf Agnès also puts practicality first. She built the balcony to be very comfortable, and the cold breath from outside can't be blown in. She considered every aspect. But I don’t know if house elves are really divided by nationality. Agnes’s aesthetics is quite good, and this slightly awkward balcony cannot be seen from outside the building.
Ada also shook the red wine glass in her hand as she did. She looked out the window at the night and said, "I'm a little reluctant to leave here now, and I don't even want to go to school."
Go to the Dementors, go to the special students of Azkaban. It’s because the French food doesn’t taste good, or the red wine doesn’t taste good!
"I'm glad to hear that, but I still have to go to school." Vida smiled and said, "Otherwise there will be an uninvited guest in this house. Honey is good, but I don't like bees at all, especially bees. It’s the buzzing sound they make when they fly.”
What my grandmother said were all stories. How much resentment she had towards Dumbledore! After the summer's "My Grandmother and the Dark Lord Have to Tell Stories," is there another sequel? Just call it "My Grandmother and the White Lord's Stories to Tell"?
You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. If Vader could hear what Ada was thinking, she would probably let her granddaughter know what it means to "strike the granddaughter with a sword in her hand. Twelve sword strikes in a row, and the sword strikes critically."
There is no story between French Rose and Takamura Ichika. Their lives only intersect because of the appearance of a crucial man.
If Vader was initially full of resentment towards Dumbledore, this hatred has long since been diluted by time. As time goes by, Vader's view of Dumbledore has changed, and it's hard not to have respect for such a man. However, this did not affect Vader's idea of not wanting to see Dumbledore.
Ada sniffed the aroma of red wine in the goblet, and said half complaining and half coquettishly: "If this continues, I will be spoiled."
"That's right. Only in this way will you not be deceived by the wild boys outside with just a few words, seduced by your soul, or tripped up." Vida reached out and gently brushed Ada's hair behind her ears. , "And a child who can be spoiled is not a good child. Being spoiled is just their cover and excuse."
There are no absolutes in this world. Vader's words are a bit absolute, but there is still some truth in them.
"Grandma, three underage wizards, is it possible for them to successfully stop the werewolf's rampage without killing or seriously injuring the werewolf when it transforms?" Ada asked, looking at the rounding moon in the sky. "By the way, among them there is a male student council president, a prefect, and the remaining one is a little better than ordinary."
Ada is enough to deal with the werewolf in its transformation stage. She has plenty of ways to solve this furry little problem. But she couldn't use herself as the hypothetical object. It would be too unfair to Professor Lupine if three versions of herself of the same level were placed in front of a werewolf.
"Is there a werewolf in your school? Can I take this opportunity to send a howling letter to Dumbledore?" Vader's eyes suddenly lit up.
Vader didn't know about werewolves, who might be dangerous to others, but she had faith in Ada. This roaring letter that has not yet been sent out is most likely an excuse to take advantage of the situation and seek personal revenge.
"It's unlikely. A werewolf that has lost its mind is a formidable opponent. Its sharp claws and quick speed are its deadly weapons." Vader continued, "When facing a werewolf, it's best to have the will to kill. Determined, a wizard who becomes a werewolf is no longer a human being, but a beast more ferocious than a real wolf."
Vida's idea coincided with Ada's own idea, and she also felt that it was unlikely. To save others by oneself, if her friend is a werewolf, then Ada will definitely try her best to help her friend, do her best to protect him, and do her best to prevent the things he worries about from happening.
But in the face of extremely dangerous werewolves, what can three underage wizards do? Unless they, like themselves, have the strength to suppress the werewolf without hurting it. Or, they have some special method, a secret that even Dumbledore doesn't know.
The answer seems to be right in front of us, but it is as out of reach as the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. Is such a difficult idea really feasible?
The pleasant sound of clinking glasses interrupted Ada's contemplation. When she came back to her senses, she saw that Vida's goblet was empty.
"When you are thinking about something, if you fall into a bottleneck or misunderstanding, then stop and do something else, and the effect will be surprisingly good." Vader said, "I think you should also understand this truth."
Ada nodded and stopped thinking about school. She raised the goblet and tasted the rose-red liquid in the glass. Ada was sure that her cup-shaking skills needed to be improved.
"Are there really werewolves at Hogwarts? Students, or professors?"
I am very curious. At this moment, Vida does not look like a high-ranking old woman, but looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
