The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 662, The curtain opens (2)



On a late autumn night, the wind is howling, and fallen leaves cover the path leading to the burrow.

Mr. Weasley was walking home after a long meeting, and Ada followed him obediently, just like before.

After the meeting, the two of them apparated to the path outside the village of St. Catchpole, and were inspected by the Aurors guarding here, and then walked step by step towards the Burrow.

It was always such a hassle for Mr. Weasley to come home, but there was nothing that could be done about it.Arthur Weasley is the Minister of Magic, and his safety is important to the Ministry.

In addition to being Mr. Weasley's home, the Burrow is also the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.Security is the reason why the Order of the Phoenix chose the Burrow. Aurors are outside and members of the Order are included. Even if the Death Eaters guess that the Burrow is the new headquarters, they would not dare to invade.

Mr. Weasley suddenly slowed down. He had a few words to say to Ada before going home.

"You shouldn't have said those words today." Mr. Weasley said, a cloud of white mist rising around his mouth, "You are still young, and you still have a long way to go. If you are always so straightforward, , it will offend many people invisibly."

"I know that my personality is easy to offend people." Ada responded, "But at this time, I should have a strong attitude and a clear-cut stand. I should give courage to the timid and cowardly people, and at the same time, give some warning to the wallflowers that are swayed by the wind."

The war is imminent, and there must be no second voice in the Ministry of Magic. No one can question the decisions made by the Ministry.With unified voice and unified pace, Voldemort and his Death Eaters were defeated in one fell swoop.

As for whether this would offend the International Federation of Wizards, Ada didn't care at all, and stupid Smith couldn't represent the International Federation of Wizards as a collective.

If Akinbad became angry just because of Ada's words, then this wizard from Africa had nothing to fear.

Babajide Akinbad should be a smart man to succeed Dumbledore and become the president of the International Confederation of Wizards.

Smart people should know that the current British wizarding world is a powder keg, and it can be left unadulterated.If you accidentally ignite this powder keg, it will not be as simple as setting yourself on fire.

A smart person should also know how annoying it is to point fingers.Have you ever been criticized for interfering in the internal affairs of the Ministry of Magic and talking about the International Statute of Secrecy at this time?

When Voldemort failed for the first time, the entire British wizarding community celebrated the end of victory.There were a large number of violations of the International Statute of Secrecy that day, and the International Federation of Wizards also reprimanded and held them accountable.

But Millicent Barnold, the then Minister of Magic, said: I firmly defend everyone's right to indulge in carnival.

"You always have all kinds of strange reasons. I can't explain you." Mr. Weasley said with a smile, pointing helplessly at Ada with his right hand. He had no way to deal with the girl in front of him.

Ada looked unhappy. She frowned and pretended to be angry.She said: "This is not unreasonable! If someone repeatedly questions our authority and our decisions, it will shake the morale of the military."

Facing the terrifying Voldemort, many people in the army were timid before fighting. If the morale of the army was shaken again, morale would inevitably drop below sea level.Don't forget those outsiders in the wizarding world. If they stir up trouble in secret, or turn their backs on the battlefield, the consequences will be disastrous.

In that case, the Ministry of Magic might as well not join the war, as it wouldn't be enough to hold them back.

The two armies faced each other. As soon as the battle started, they scared away a group of people and surrendered a group of people. What followed was a one-sided massacre.Unless someone can kill Voldemort instantly, but that is not realistic at all. It is better to hope that the Death Eaters will abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.

"I understand your considerations." Mr. Weasley said, "But these words are not yours to say. You can leave these words to me. The effect will not be too bad, and you don't have to offend anyone."

In Mr. Weasley's opinion, Ada's future will be as broad as the sky. She should make more friends and accumulate more connections.It was Mr. Weasley who said these offending words. He had no intention of staying in the position of Minister anyway.

If unfortunately he loses the war, it will be difficult for Mr. Weasley to retire as a minister, and the position of minister will also be filled by a Death Eater.

If he wins the final victory, Mr. Weasley will take the initiative to step down as Minister after dealing with the follow-up matters of the war.After experiencing this war, Mr. Weasley paid more attention to his family, and he wanted to take Molly out for a walk.

Ada didn't know that Mr. Weasley was crazily setting a flag in her heart. She only felt warm in her heart.

A kind word warms you for three winters, but a bad word hurts you for six months.Mr. Weasley's words of concern for Ada warmed her heart.

While they were talking, the crooked burrow appeared in front of them, and the orange light illuminated the last section of the path, which was reassuring.

When Mr. Weasley and Ada returned home, Mrs. Weasley was busy in the kitchen, and others were sitting around the living room, listening to the twins recount what happened in Diagon Alley during the day.

Ada finally understood why Ron was so good at making up stories. She obviously just slept under the Black Lake, but she was suddenly told into "The Black Lake" by him.

Water has a source and trees have roots.Ron's ability to make things up stems from his long-term exposure to Fred and George's true stories.

The twins are very talented in telling stories, and their narrations are very immersive. The members of the Order of the Phoenix sitting around will change their expressions as they tell.

When he heard that Vader was almost killed, Bill frowned, and Fleur even covered her ears and didn't dare to listen anymore; when he heard the big dung egg thrown at Voldemort, Sirius exclaimed, "It's fun, it's fun," and he just wished he could see it with his own eyes. See; when it came to Scrimgeour's unfortunate sacrifice, everyone fell silent, and Sirius, who had always disliked the Ministry of Magic, also let out a long sigh.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix gathered at the Burrow, of course, not to listen to the twins' talk, but to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Yes, it’s another meeting.Voldemort has made a big move in Diagon Alley, and it's hard to say where he will point next. Is it Hogwarts and Harry, or the offices of the Ministry of Magic?

No matter what Voldemort's next goal is, there must be a countermeasure.

Ada also walked into the living room and squeezed into a sofa with the twins.As soon as she sat down, before she could take a breath, everyone started asking questions and caring about Vader's injury.

Fortunately, Vader's injuries were not serious and he would recover after a while.

If Vader had a hidden disease in his past, even if he didn't die today, he would still lose half his life.But after Ada's "treatment", Vida is now in good physical condition. This minor injury is nothing, and he only needs a few days of rest and recuperation.

At this time, Mrs. Weasley walked into the living room carrying a dinner plate with the dinner she had prepared for Mr. Weasley and Ada.Bread, bacon, fried eggs, and a glass of mulled wine, a simple but delicious dinner.

"Why did the Dark Lord go to Diagon Alley?" Sirius asked, "It doesn't look like he has a vault in Gringotts."

Although Voldemort was a descendant of Slytherin, he failed to inherit even a copper Knut from the Gaunt family.The ring and locket were priceless, but they were made into Horcruxes by him and became worthless.

However, even if Voldemort was penniless, he would still be able to live and clothe himself. There were many wealthy people in the Death Eaters' ranks, and they would be happy to donate their wealth to their master.

The twins looked at Ada who was devouring her food. She looked like a hamster with her bulging cheeks.Fred and George winked and asked Ada with their eyes if they needed them to answer for her. After all, she had no time to speak now.

Ada nodded, and Fred spoke immediately, expressing his thoughts.
