Hogwarts Emerald

It's getting late but not too late, and the gray-blue sky is a rare gentle moment in the day.

On the street, pedestrians walked in a hurry with their heads lowered, and no one stopped to admire the sky at this moment. After a day of running around, they want to return to their warm home and share today's interesting events with their families.

Ada stood on the street corner, still wearing the dark green dress. Her figure made the gray buildings around her beautiful. She was waiting for someone, someone who refused to go home.

The sky got darker again, and a young man with fiery red hair suddenly appeared on the street corner. There was a pair of glasses on his nose, and he looked lonely. His clean and tidy clothes could not hide his tiredness.

Percy Weasley, the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

He turned against his family this summer and moved to London alone to pursue what he believed to be power. Every day after get off work, Percy would apparate around this street corner and return to his tiny home.

This street corner is very secluded, and even the naughtiest children rarely come here, but today Ada was waiting for him here in advance.

Percy naturally saw Ada in the shadow, but he did not come forward to say hello.

Lowering his head, Percy pretended not to see anyone and left quickly. But before he took a few steps, a tall man with very thick hair blocked his way.

"Sergey, get out of the way." Ada ordered from behind Percy, "Don't block the way of the distinguished Mr. Weasley, lest he find a reason to put you in Azkaban."

The shaggy man stepped aside and closed his eyes.

The road was cleared, but Percy didn't leave. He turned and looked at Ada. He said coldly: "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be celebrating at the Burrow now? Celebrating that you let Harry Potter get away with it."

"Oh, you still know me, and you still remember the Burrow." Ada said, "I thought the big red man in front of the minister had forgotten all this long ago!"

Percy didn't want to hear Ada's weird comments, nor did he want to quarrel with Ada.

He turned back, wanting to go home. No, home is where your family is. The place where Percy Weasley went back was just a house, an empty house.

"Let's chat for a while, alone for a few words." Ada said, "Just you and me."

"There's nothing to talk about," Percy said with his back to Ada, "I'm very busy and have a lot to do."

"Are you busy with the thickness of the bottom of your crucible that can change history, or are you busy monitoring your parents?" Ada asked angrily, "Or maybe the minister has given you some very important task?"

The words were full of sarcasm, and Percy's face suddenly turned ugly and he stopped walking.

Crossing the dirty and narrow streets, Ada and Percy came to a small coffee shop. This small shop on the street is a bit dirty and messy, and the attitude of the waiters is also very bad.

Percy put his hands around the coffee cup, his eyes never leaving the coffee, and said, "The coffee here is very good, you can try it."

Ada had no desire to try the coffee in front of her, for fear that she would drink something from the cup.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot." Percy said, "You are now the eldest lady of the Rozier family, and your identity has changed a long time ago..." A very sad sentence.

Percy took a sip of coffee and continued: "Tell me what you want to talk about. If you are trying to persuade me to go back, there is no need to speak and waste each other's time."

Of course he knew the purpose of Ada's trip, so he blocked the conversation directly to avoid making both of them look bad by saying it.

"We have known each other for so many years, do you think your words are useful?" Ada looked out through the window, just enough to see Sergey's figure.

Percy sighed and said: "I will not go back. You are all wrong, you were all deceived by Dumbledore..."

"That's what I saw with my own eyes." Ada rushed to say: "Did you forget about Ginny so quickly? That's your biological sister!"

Ada continued: "Or are you being carried away by the so-called power? Look at your power, it allows you to live in such a shabby place and let you be ordered around like a dog by a fool! "

Percy wanted to refute, but Ada was right. He did live in this dirty and shabby place, and his status in the Ministry of Magic had never been improved.

The reason why he can become the minister's assistant now is because Fudge wants to use him.

"This is just an appearance, the minister trusts me very much!" Percy said, but he didn't believe it himself, and he was very unconfident.

He took a sip of coffee to adjust, and then said: "I have just entered the Ministry of Magic not long ago, and my political career has just begun. I will become more and more important and closer to the core of power. I can do it."

Percy, the least humorous child in the Weasley family, is terrifyingly stubborn.

The Weasleys treated Ada well and regarded her as their daughter, and Ada also regarded the Weasleys as family. Ada didn't want to make them sad, so she came to persuade Percy, hoping that Percy could change his mind.

But looking at Percy's appearance, Ada's idea was destined to fail.

"Go back, they miss you very much." Ada picked up the coffee cup, but couldn't drink it.

"What are you going back for? Are you being teased by Fred and George?" Percy also looked out the window. The blurred glass made his face a little distorted, and he couldn't recognize his original appearance.

Percy continued: "I don't want to be like my father, who spends his whole life squatting in an insignificant position. Let the children wear old robes and use old textbooks. I know what you are going to say, I just don't want to live like this anymore. .Is this wrong?”

"You are not wrong, are Mr. and Mrs. Weasley wrong?" Ada put the cup on the table suddenly, "You broke up with your family, ran to London alone, and pledged allegiance to the bullshit Ministry of Magic. You can Have you lived a so-called good life?”

Percy scratched his hair in annoyance, which made his hair look like burning wildfire.

He said: "You don't know anything! From the first day I entered the Ministry of Magic, I was influenced by my father's reputation, 'Ah, he is Arthur Weasley's son'. Everyone who met me said so!"

"I finally gained Mr. Crouch's trust, but he disappeared and died! People from the Ministry of Magic didn't trust me, so they investigated me." Percy said almost crazily, "Just because my surname is Wei. Sly, I am Arthur Weasley’s son!”

Paranoid, Percy is a paranoid at this moment. He only believes in what he sees and what he thinks.

The setbacks in his career intensified his ambition, causing him to attribute his failure to his origins and to his father, who was also at the Ministry of Magic, dragging him down.

In reality, whoever was in Percy's position would have been subject to an internal investigation following Barty Crouch's disappearance. This has nothing to do with Mr. Weasley's position or his status.

However, Percy himself couldn't see this, he was blinded by his ambition.

"I struggled step by step to get rid of my father's bad reputation, but what was the result?" Percy continued, "He blatantly sided with Dumbledore, openly opposed the Ministry of Magic, and supported the 'You-Know-Who is back' argument. He thought I haven’t!”

"Bad reputation? Arthur Weasley?" Ada asked uncertainly. "That's the funniest joke I've ever heard! You have a better sense of humor than Fred and George."

Ada is really speechless! If it weren't for the sake of the children, Mr. Weasley could just live his own little life with Mrs. Weasley like last time and ignore the wind and rain outside.

But it's different now. Mr. Weasley is the head of the family and he has to think about the children. That's why he sided with Dumbledore. He didn't want his children to live in a dark world.

"Mr. Weasley's decision was carefully considered and made for everyone's consideration." Ada said patiently, "The mysterious man is back. This is an indisputable fact, Percy."

Percy laughed suddenly, a loud, harsh laugh.

He said indifferently: "Of course, I know, you saw it with your own eyes! But so what, that is not the reason for you to resist the Ministry of Magic. You are now like those bad students in school who were punished for violating school rules. So smug!”

"It was never the Ministry of Magic that we resisted, it was Fudge who refused to believe the facts." Ada said, she was now very disappointed with Percy.

Percy took off his glasses and threw them on the table, rubbing his red eyes tiredly.

"It makes no difference to me. Harry can go against the Ministry of Magic, and he has Dumbledore's support. You can also go against the Ministry, and not only do you have Dumbledore, but you also have Rosier. And Weasley, we Nothing, just the name of a pure-blood."

Percy's voice was a little sad, with a hint of determination as he continued: "You can all retreat and bow to the Ministry of Magic at any time. But Weasley can't. Weasley has no choice but to retreat. I don't want to go on like this anymore. . I want to climb up and climb to a position where no one dares to ignore me. For this, I will do it at any cost!"

Ada said rudely, "You are like a baby who only cries for milk, a coward who only complains!" As she said that, she stood up and wanted to leave. She said to the current Percy Wei Sly was disappointed.

"You make me feel very strange." Ada said coldly, "You are dominated by your inferiority, paranoia, and ambition. Now you are not worthy of the Weasley surname. Also, please call me Cui from now on." Miss Ste, please keep this in mind!"

"If you can, take care of Ron and Ginny for me, they are still young."

Ada didn't respond. She pressed a note to the bottom of her coffee cup and walked out of her seat. She continued: "Goodbye! No, never again! Mr. Weatherby!"

After saying that, he strode out of this crowded and noisy Muggle cafe.

"Wetherby, ho!" Percy murmured, his eyes no longer red as he put on his glasses again.

He picked up Ada's untouched cup of coffee and poured the contents into his own cup. I tasted it and it was very bitter. He stretched out his hand to add sugar, but happened to see Ada outside the window looking at him.

Through the somewhat blurry glass, Percy saw Ada opening her mouth to speak.

He didn't hear what was said clearly, but he knew clearly what his sister wanted to express.

Percy Ignatius Weasley is the world's biggest fool!
