Hogwarts Emerald

This small town has a market, a beach, a bay, a church, and a castle on the top of the mountain...

There are many places to visit in Scarborough, but Ada only chose a small cafe.

Fred and George noticed something in their hearts, but Ada didn't take the initiative to say it, so they didn't take the initiative to point it out.

Since Ada decided to bring them here, the answer would be revealed to them sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.

Fred and George didn't say anything more. It was too cold outside. The two brothers opened the door in a gentlemanly manner and let Ada, who was intolerant of the cold, enter the warm cafe first.

Just like the narrow facade, the interior of this corner cafe does not give people a sense of openness and seems a little crowded.

A bar counter, a few tables and chairs, a piano and guitar in the corner, sporadic customers, and warm and soft lighting make up the entire cafe.

Ada glanced at it seemingly casually, then chose a seat by the window and sat down.

Neither paying attention to the customers in the store nor the owner of the cafe, Ada looked out the window quietly, as if she was just tired from walking and came in to have a cup of coffee.

According to the past tacit understanding, since Ada went to grab a seat, Fred and George naturally went to the bar to order.

"Hello, what do you two gentlemen need?"

The voice of the cafe owner sounded softly, and her voice gave people the same warm feeling as this small restaurant.

"Three cups-" Fred, who was about to order, was stunned and only half of his words were spoken.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" the cafe owner asked, a bit of puzzlement and confusion appearing on her beautiful face. She looked about forty years old, with the unique charm of a mature woman.

If Ms. Rosmerta from the Three Broomsticks is an old lady who still has charm and is the dream lover of many young boys at Hogwarts, then if the woman in front of her appears in Hogsmeade, she will be completely blown away. Rosmer Tower.

However, what surprised the twins was not her beauty, but her appearance gave the two brothers an illusion. The two brothers felt as if they had met a middle-aged version of Ada.

"No, it's nothing," George said quickly, "Well... three cups of au lait coffee... uh, thank you."

The cafe owner smiled kindly and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

"No...it doesn't matter..."

Under the doubtful gaze of the cafe owner, Fred and George fled as fast as they could, quickly ran to the seat by the window, and sat panting across from Ada.

He finally stopped looking out the window.

Ada asked: "Did you see it?" Her voice was thickly nasal, as if she had a severe cold.

"I see." The twins nodded in unison, nodding so loudly that it made people worry that their heads would fall off.

Ada asked casually: "Does it look like it?"

"Like," Fred and George said in unison again.

The twins couldn't conscientiously say they were different. The eyebrows, the corners of the mouth that raised when they smiled, seemed to be carved from the same mold.

If two people stand together, anyone will say that they are a beautiful mother and daughter gifted by God. They will never think that the two have nothing to do with each other and regard them as strangers.

"Is she really...?" George asked cautiously.

If it was really as he guessed and saw, why did Ada look so uninterested?

Ada put her elbows on the table, clasped her hands, and the knuckles of her index fingers were just touching her soft lips. She said in a muffled voice: "Yes, she is Jessica Taylor, my biological mother who has been missing for many years." ."

The twins turned their heads and looked at Jessica who was busy at the bar. The mother and daughter who had reunited after a long separation looked more and more alike.

Looking at Jessica's current appearance, one can roughly know what Ada will look like twenty years from now; looking at Ada's current appearance, one can also seem to see the beauty of Jessica twenty years ago.

"But... why..." Fred was puzzled, and he was full of doubts.

In 1977, Ada was left at the door of the orphanage as a baby and was taken in by Lady Mary.

And it's already 1997. Since Ada's biological mother Jessica is still alive, why has she never returned to London to search?

Fred lowered his head. He wanted to slap himself hard now. He felt that he shouldn't ask this question. This is a hurtful question, especially for the seemingly strong Ada.

"She," Ada also looked at the bar and saw Jessica greeting the new customers. Then: "She doesn't remember. Can't remember anything."

She doesn't remember her husband Louis, nor her daughter Esmeralda.

"Forgetting Curse!" George said in a low voice.

Not long ago, the twins learned from Ron that in order to protect their parents, Hermione used the Forgetting Curse to erase their memories.

Apparently, the same goes for Jessica. The person who cast the curse on her was of course Louis Rozier. In order to protect his wife, Louis made Jessica forget all this and all the danger and pain it would bring.

"Yeah, forget it all." Ada murmured, she completely understood what Louis did, and she would do the same thing in other circumstances.

Louis' identity as a wizard is exposed, and he will face the joint pursuit of Evan Rozier and Alan Rozier, and Death Eaters may also be involved.

The situation is critical and they are outnumbered. Facing the vicious thugs, Louis chose to make a desperate move.

He erased his wife's memory and stayed away from her; he also fostered his daughter in an orphanage so that he did not have to wander around with him.

Perhaps Louis wanted to reunite his family after defeating the enemies who were chasing him; or maybe Louis wanted to return to France to convince his mother Vida to bring back his wife and daughter in England.

What exactly Louis Rozier's plan was is unknown.

He died, at the hands of his pursuers, perhaps just as he was about to return to France. His death caused his daughter to grow up alone in an orphanage, and his wife moved to Scarborough.

"How did you find this place?" Fred asked.

"I didn't find it." Ada shook her head. "My grandmother found this place a year ago. She didn't tell me about it until recently."

In the summer of 1996, Ada asked Laura where Vida had gone. Laura just told her: Madam had an appointment with old friends to reunite, and she was going to do something very important, which was more important than Ada taking control of the Ministry of Magic. Want important things.

It turns out that this very important thing is to find Jessica on behalf of Ada.

After thinking about it carefully, George said: "Maybe I don't want to distract you! You have been resisting Voldemort before, and suddenly learning the whereabouts of your biological mother will definitely have an impact on you."

While the three of them were talking, Jessica came over with a tray.

After putting the coffee on the tray one by one, Jessica did not leave. Her eyes stayed on Ada, as if she was attracted by the delicate face of the woman in front of her.

However, the Ada in Jessica's eyes was different from the Ada in the twins' eyes.

In the eyes of the twins, Ada is naturally the most beautiful woman in the magical world, and she has a very similar face to Jessica.

In Jessica's eyes, Ada is just an ordinary girl with fiery red hair and freckles on her face. She is just a little taller than ordinary women.

But this extremely ordinary girl in front of her gave Jessica a sense of familiarity: I seem to have seen her somewhere, and I seem to have hugged her... She seems to be very important to me.

"Madam? Madam?" George called softly, "Are you okay?"

George's voice woke Jessica up, and she said quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just... this lady was so beautiful, I couldn't help but look at it for a while longer. I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, you don't have to be like this, madam." Fred said, "She must be so happy to be praised by a beautiful lady like you!"

However, Jessica continued her apology, saying, "I apologize again for my rude behavior!"

"You really don't have to be like this," Ada said, her cold seeming to get worse. "Thank you very much for the compliment. I think my mother will be very proud to know that I have been praised."

Seeing all three of them saying this, Jessica felt relieved and planned to leave, returning her private space to the three guests.

But before leaving, Jessica still couldn't hold it back. She asked tentatively: "This lady, have we met before?"

"No, this is my first time coming to Scarborough," Ada said, "and probably the last time."

Hearing this, Jessica felt a sense of sadness and pain in her heart for no reason. It was an indescribable feeling, like hearing your own child say she would never go home again.

"It doesn't matter!" George suddenly interrupted, "Even if I haven't seen it before, haven't I seen it today?"

"That's right, that's right!" Fred agreed, "Although it's the first time we meet, it can also be regarded as a reunion after a long separation!"

A smile spread across Jessica's face, and she cast grateful glances at Fred and George. Jessica said: "Please forgive me for being rude again, can I ask your name?"

"By the way, my name is Drizzt," Jessica continued, "Jessica Drizzt."

Ada raised her head, staring into Jessica's eyes as if fascinated.

After a while, Ada said lonelyly: "Rozier, Esmeralda Rozier."
