Chapter 35 The Twins’ Sage Time

1989 passed like this, and Ada ushered in 1990 in a storm.

This winter, Ada no longer has to go out to work in the wind and snow. Instead, she can do what she loves in a warm room and enjoy the food provided by the house elves, just like a wealthy landowner.

Reading and studying when busy, chatting and playing cards in free time, Ada has not had such comfortable days for a long time.

As the first day of school approaches, students begin to return to school one after another. They share interesting things about the holidays with the people around them. Couples who have never seen each other during the holiday talk to each other as if no one is around. The whole Hogwarts is filled with excitement. With a happy atmosphere.

The four Weasley brothers came back together, with Charlie leading the way, followed by Percy and the twins. The short few steps from the entrance to the lounge to the armchair made the Weasley brothers look a bit bossy.

Seeing the four brothers walking in the wind, Ada thought about whether she should give each of the Weasley brothers a newsboy hat for Christmas next year.

But it was agreed in advance that if they were beaten, it would have nothing to do with her.

Charlie and Percy said hello to Ada and left. The twin brothers sat directly opposite her and looked at Ada with a smile.

"It's a shame you didn't come back with us," Fred said.

"Mummy made a lot of delicious food, and Percy got fat from eating it," George said, raising his hands in an exaggerated gesture.

"Mom was very happy when she received your thank you letter and told us to take you back with us next Christmas."

The twins told Mrs. Weasley about Ada during the holidays. They hoped that Mrs. Weasley could send Ada a Christmas gift. One more gift would be enough to at least make Ada's Christmas better. The holiday was not so miserable.

The kind-hearted Mrs. Weasley also agreed to their request, and she was also very fond of the girl she met at the station. This is Ada's own talent. She always makes a good first impression.

But Ada doesn't like to socialize, so these good feelings will always be wasted by her, which I have to say is a pity.

"That toffee was the best gift I've ever received," Ada said. In fact, she liked all the gifts she received, especially Mrs. Weasley's toffee and Professor McGonagall's notes.

"By the way, I found the secret passage behind the mirror." Ada lowered her voice and reported the results of her vacation to the twins, looking forward to seeing the twins' excitement.

"Well, good job," Fred said.

His reaction was very dull, very different from what Ada expected, which made Ada feel that she was rejoicing in vain.

So, "love" disappears, right?

George tried to soothe Ada's wounded heart with a rainbow fart, saying, "You are indeed the smartest witch!"

"Why don't you look excited at all?" The twins' reaction was beyond Ada's expectations. "Didn't you always think about this tunnel before?"

"In the evening, let's go take a look tonight." Fred said in a perfunctory tone.

"You don't have to worry about being discovered this time. It's absolutely safe." George who spoke looked a little enigmatic.

"You almost said the same thing last time, but what happened next?" Ada felt that her fragile little heart was hurt, so she also wanted to attack George's inexplicable self-confidence.

"We were caught by dear Filch," the twins said together, "but not this time, because we have this."

George took out an old piece of parchment from his arms. Yes, it was the big treasure stolen from Filch's office.

Ada glanced at the parchment in confusion, wondering why George took out this crap again, but she soon figured it out. She asked: "So, you two found a use for this 'big baby'?"

"That's right."

"correct answer."

But the twins did not show its magical effect in the common room. They took Ada out of the common room and came to an uninhabited corner.

The three people stood in the corner, staring at the corridor to prevent anyone from peeking into their "secrets".

"Now I hope it can be worthy of your mysterious look just now." Ada said, leaning on the wall.

She suffered so much for that broken mirror. If the twins don't give her an explanation today, they will stop trying to copy homework in the future!

"Please open your eyes Miss Drizzt, look carefully and don't blink. This will be the secret to our success." Fred spoke to Ada while putting the parchment in Ada's hand. superior.

"Are you ready? Next is the moment to witness the miracle."

Ada held the parchment and raised her eyebrows at the two brothers. Her meaning was clear: Come on, show it.

"Let's do it, George."

George pulled out his wand, tapped the parchment lightly, and said seriously: "I solemnly swear that I will do no evil."

In an instant, thin lines of ink spread like a spider web from where the tip of George's wand touched, connecting, criss-crossing, and extending to every corner of the parchment; then words appeared on the top, green. Large floral letters:

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Gentlemen who are here to help magical mischief makers.

Introducing

Marauder's Map

Ada looked at the parchment in her hand in surprise. This piece of junk, which looked no different from trash, was so magical. All the details of Hogwarts Castle and the grounds were actually drawn on the paper.

If it were just like that, it wouldn't be considered a treasure, but there were still many small black dots moving on the map, each with their name marked in tiny fonts, and Ada also found the names of the three of them on it. , it’s just that the three names are crowded together and it’s hard to distinguish.

It seems that this Marauder's Map has everyone in the school marked on it. With this thing, there is really no need to worry about Filch anymore. Ada found Foley's name on the map. At this moment, he was staying in his office with Snape, wondering what they were discussing.

"There are many secret passages up here, most of them leading to Hogsmeade." George continued.

"There are seven in total. We can look at them one by one in the next few days." Fred also pointed out the seven routes with his fingers.

No wonder the twins were not interested in their discovery. They had known it for a long time, and now it was just their time as wise men. Ada asked while looking at the map: "When did you figure out this map?"

"Of course these days at home." Fred continued, "We had a little accident..."

"Mom found out and she gave us a lesson. She said we never did good things." George rubbed his butt after speaking.

"This gave us a lot of inspiration. After a few attempts, it turned into what you see." The twins turned on the double surround mode again.

Fred pointed to the location of the library and dormitory, and said to Ada: "Through the map, we found that during the holidays, besides being in the dormitory, you were also in the library..."

George followed up and said: "If it's not the auditorium, you need to go out more. Sunshine and fresh air are also important."

"You two really have enough free time at home. You actually have time to study where I have been." Ada said. In fact, she was not dissatisfied with the twins' behavior. This was because the two brothers were caring about her.

Anyway, all you can see on the map is a small black dot and a name, which doesn't involve anything too private.

If Ada and the twins swapped roles, she would probably do the same. This Marauder's Map is equivalent to a real-time GPS positioning.

"At first we thought the map was a little out of order because it hadn't been used for so long, because you always appeared in those places."

"Later we felt that the problem was not the map, but you." George said, "Without us, you would only appear in these few places."

Ada really didn't leave the castle much during this holiday. It wasn't that she really wanted to be a homebody, but it was just too cold outside. When spring comes, Ada wants to go to the big tree by the lake and take a nap there. It should be very comfortable.

"It's really amazing!" Ada didn't have the ability to create such a map, so she admired the four seniors who created the map.

"Moon Face, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs." George took a photo of the map title and exclaimed, "What an amazing senior."

"George, we must also become such noble people, they are the targets we chase!" Fred said solemnly.

"When we tried the wrong secret commands, they would also share some prank ideas with us!" George said with nostalgia.

The expression on Fred's face was very holy. He said, "I really want to get to know them. They are really good mentors and helpful friends on the road of life!"

The three people who each have their own merits are amazed by completely different aspects. Ada is amazed by the four people's magical attainments, while the twins are amazed by the four people's ability to play pranks.

Seeing that Ada had read almost everything, George tapped on the Marauder's Map again and said, "The prank is over!" The map that was full of lines just now turned into white paper again.

"This way it won't be discovered. No one will be interested in an old piece of parchment." George said with a wink.

"Yes, you! Weren't you the one who stole it?" Contestant Ada, the arrogant player, was entering the room.

"We just connected with those four seniors and discovered the difference of parchment."
