The Emerald at Hogwarts

In the village of St. Catchpole at night, Ada led Ted and Andromeda towards the Burrow.

Neither of the couple spoke. They knew this day would come when they chose to help Harry Potter.But when that day came, they still felt a little uncomfortable.

The three of them walked to the door of the Burrow in silence, and happened to meet Sirius and Fred who had just returned.

Sirius pointed his wand at Ada and asked, "Who do I like best?"

According to common sense, the answer should be to choose between James, Lupine and Harry, but Ada's answer was not among these three people, and the name she spoke was not even Lily's name.

Ada replied: "Regulus Black, your dear brother."

Hearing this unusual answer, Andromeda was stunned.Andromeda was born in Black, and she knew very well the relationship between the Sirius brothers. The two were not even harmonious, so how could they like each other?

However, Sirius put down his wand under Andromeda's surprised gaze. Obviously Ada's answer was correct.After checking each other's identities, the five of them walked into the Burrow together.

As soon as they entered the house, Kingsley stopped them and questioned them again.

But where did Ada and Fred have the energy to answer the question? As soon as they entered the room, they saw George on the sofa in the living room with his face covered in blood!

The two hurriedly rushed into the living room. Fred suddenly knelt beside the sofa and called his twin brother softly.Ada on the side also seemed to have lost too much blood, her face turned pale.

Lupine stood at the entrance to the living room, flanked by a worried-looking Harry, and behind him Sirius, Kingsley, and Hermione.

George, who was lying on the sofa, looked very weak. His left ear was missing, leaving only a small black hole.His neck and clothes were covered with shocking red blood.

Perhaps hearing the voices of Fred and Ada, George moved and slowly opened his eyes.

"How are you feeling, George?" Mrs. Weasley asked softly. She could not make George's ears grow back, so she could only apply wound ointment to her son's wound.

George's voice was very soft, sounding without any strength at all.

He comforted his mother and said, "Madam, you should be happy. Now you will never be able to tell the difference between me and Fred."

Then George ran his fingers along the side of his head and murmured, "Listen, Fred, listen."

Maybe George's homophonic joke was too clumsy. Fred looked even more panicked. He looked around in horror: "Did he hurt his brain? There are so many ear-related humors in the world, but he picked the most boring one." 'Move (hole) and listen'!"

"There is a deduction for homophonic jokes, George." Ada said dumbfounded, "Mrs. Weasley, let me do it."

With that said, Ada replaced Mrs. Weasley and sat on the sofa.She did not continue to apply medicine to George, but took out the Elder Wand, moved it slowly along George's wound, and kept chanting spells in her mouth.

Lupine spoke up and said, "It's Snape. His hood slipped down while he was chasing us. And... the Shadowless Curse is his specialty."

"It's this damn snot man again, don't let me catch him!" Sirius said angrily, and even kicked the door frame to vent his anger.

Along with a nightingale-like crooning, the bleeding in George's left ear gradually decreased and the wound began to heal.Ada recited the magic spell that Snape had taught her over and over again.

Although the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse has a counter-curse, the parts damaged by the curse cannot be regenerated by any means and can only be healed.

But Ada is the master of the Elder Wand. The counter-spell blessed by the Elder Wand not only healed the wound, but also allowed George's severed left ear to slowly regenerate!

Everyone looked at Ada in surprise. This was not Harry's bones that had been turned away by Lockhart. This was not a small problem that could be solved by a bottle of Bone Spirit. This was a wound caused by vicious black magic. Even with St. Mungo's Magic, In the injury hospital, George's left ear can't regenerate!

Suddenly, everyone seemed to see the omnipotent Dumbledore again, the trustworthy Dumbledore.

Maybe it was a little itchy due to the healing and growing flesh. George wanted to reach out and scratch it, but as soon as he raised his hand, Ada slapped it down.Fred on the side quickly held down George to prevent him from disturbing Ada who was casting the spell.

The left ear that "grows back" is as tender as a newborn baby, with a layer of fine down.Only then did Ada stop singing and put away her wand. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, as if she had just visited the Flame Mountain.

It’s just that although the ear has grown out, it looks very inconsistent with George’s right ear.There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the right ear is original and has been used for so many years, but the left ear is fresh from the factory.

George tentatively touched it with his hand. He could no longer feel the pain from the wound, but felt a little strange.He muttered with a strange look on his face: "I thought Mom would never have the chance to twist my ears again."

"Ma'am, you can't tell us apart again." Fred also said, "Are they Jored and Forge, or are they Freddie and Joad?"

Mrs. Weasley burst into laughter, and everyone else in the room also breathed a sigh of relief, especially Harry, who was blaming himself.Harry felt that it was his fault that George would get hurt, and he was the one who brought misfortune to everyone.

After a while, Tonks, Ron, Bill and Fleur returned to the Burrow one after another. Among the seven teams, only Alastor Moody's team did not come back and would never come back again.

"Mad-Eye is dead."

These were Bill's first words after returning to the Burrow. After a hasty hug with his mother, he told everyone the sad news.

In an instant, the temperature in the Burrow dropped sharply, as if it had changed from a hot summer to a cold winter. The heavy news made everyone breathless.After losing Dumbledore, they lost Mad-Eye Moody. Who will be next?

Bill poured everyone a glass of wine, and after the firewhiskey burned their throats, they buried their grief deep in their hearts.Sacrifice is inevitable, maybe it's you, maybe it's me, but it happened to Alastor Moody today.

With grief and pain, the members of the Order of the Phoenix began to summarize today's failure and wanted to find the person who leaked the secret.

Mundungus Fletcher's name appears most frequently. He claims to be a "serious businessman", but everyone knows that he is just a bad thief. If it weren't for Dumbledore, Fletcher would never have joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Tonight, the experienced and powerful Moody was Voldemort's first target, and Mundungus ran away without looking back after seeing Voldemort.If Mundungus could help Moody, maybe Ada could catch up.

However, it was Mundungus who came up with the idea of ​​stand-ins, and Moody perfected it into the Seven Porters.He was not the one who betrayed Harry, otherwise the Death Eaters would not have known which one was the real Harry.Mundungus Fletcher was just cowardly and afraid of death.

The person who really "betrayed" Harry was Snape, and even the idea of ​​a substitute was suggested by Snape through Mundungus.

Ada sat quietly next to George. She knew everything about tonight, and she also knew that someone might die, but in order to hide Snape and the final plan, she said nothing.

After some debate, everyone calmed down and stopped looking for the leaker. They were convinced by Harry.

Harry wanted to believe everyone tonight, and he also hoped everyone could trust each other.Harry, like his father James, believed that distrusting a friend was the most shameful thing.

Lupine and Bill stood up at the same time. They were going to find Moody's body. They must not let his body fall into the hands of Death Eaters.

"Call God Guard!"

A silly silver-white Chow Chow appeared in the living room, and the patron saint came in response to Ada's call.

"Take it with you. I left a rough mark where Mad-Eye fell. It can be found." Ada said. There wasn't much she could do for Alastor Moody to recover his body. And to avenge him.
