The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 520

On the outskirts of London, there is a manor that has existed for hundreds of years, covering an area of ​​about 300 acres. Since the owner of the manor passed away unexpectedly decades ago, this ivory-white mansion has been abandoned until now.

The main building of the manor turned out to be a very beautiful mansion. Due to decades of no maintenance and the relentless invasion of wind and rain, the whole building has become dilapidated, desolate and damp.

Broken windows, missing tiles, and creepers on the walls make this house even more eerie, like a haunted house in a story.

The green plants in the courtyard that have not been taken care of for many years have grown wildly. Sidorov pushed aside the leaves and branches in front of him, walked through the path covered by green plants, and walked into the main building that was once ivory white.

In one of the best-preserved reception rooms in the building, Sergey sat in front of the fireplace with four other wizards.There were unfinished wine bottles and cleanly gnawed bones in their hands, and they could vaguely recognize that they should be left after the leg of lamb was gnawed.

And there was another leg of lamb perched on the fire in the fireplace.

Seeing Sidorov walk in, Sergey and others greeted him.Sidorov simply responded, and then walked into a small room in the back of the reception room.

A few minutes later Sidorov came out of the little room and sat down before the fireplace.After Sidorov said a few words to everyone, everyone stopped drinking and only focused on the fragrant roast leg of lamb in their hands.

In the hut that Sidorov walked into, only Ida was there. She sat on the large sofa and looked out the window at the cloudy sky.Sidorov had just told her that the Ministry of Magic was on the move.

Even a wimp like Fudge knew that he had to fight back after being beaten, and he would not and could not do such a thing as waiting to die.

Killed Umbridge, killed the Aurors, and ran to the office of the Ministry of Magic. Ada gave the Ministry of Magic a big mouth, and no one could bear this matter.

The Ministry of Magic's first initiative was to use Dawlish, an objective intended to ambush Ada.In the end, Ada saw through it, and used hard power to defeat the Ministry of Magic's initiative.He even claimed to ask Cornelius Fudge to wash his neck and wait, completely ignoring the Ministry of Magic.

Under Ada's persecution, the Ministry of Magic united with the enemy and vowed to bring Ada to justice and save everyone's face.Even opponents of Fudge, such as Amelia Bones.

If Ada still can't be caught, Fudge will definitely take the blame and resign, or be killed by Ada altogether. At that time, the Ministry of Magic will definitely lose its majesty and be despised by wizards from this country and from all over the world.

At that time, no matter whether Amelia Bones or someone else is in charge, they will take over a mess, a Ministry of Magic with extremely low credibility.You must know that it is easy to lose a heart, and it may take years or even decades to restore a heart.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic decided to concentrate its elite forces to eliminate Ada, in order to show that the Ministry of Magic is still powerful and inviolable.

This is what Sidorov reported just now. Aurors and strikers from the Ministry of Magic began to gather, and the target was the abandoned manor where Ada and the others were hiding.

Ada's eyes still stayed outside, and the dark clouds hung low, as if a downpour would rain down at any moment.The creepy wind hummed non-stop, and the plants outside the window swayed with the strong wind, like demons with teeth and claws.

Ada is not too worried about the actions of the Ministry of Magic. She is confident that she will survive. What she is worried about is Voldemort hiding underwater.

During this period of time, Ida was making troubles in England, as if she was the Dark Lord who made a comeback, but the real Voldemort was standing still.

It can't be said that he didn't move at all, because Voldemort's small movements have always been made, but these things are done very covertly, and they don't attract too many people's ideas.

Like Broderick Bird, who was hospitalized with Mr. Weasley.

The scowling, scowling wizard is a Reticent who works in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic.For some reason, Death Eaters attacked Mr. Bird, who lost his ability to speak and thought he was a teapot.

Bird was sent to St Mungo's for treatment, and while he was in hospital, someone gave him a plant anonymously.It was the devil's web, and the Reticent Man of the Department of Mysteries was strangled to death by the devil's web.

During this period of time, Ada's focus was entirely on the Ministry of Magic, and she was somewhat negligent about Voldemort's activities, but she believed that Voldemort would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Even if something goes wrong, Ada will be blamed.

In addition to the sneaky Voldemort, Ada was worried about Dumbledore.Dumbledore hadn't been seen for a long time since he was expelled by Fudge and Umbridge.

It wasn't that he was worried about Dumbledore's death or any accident, but he never showed up, which made Ada feel faintly uneasy, as if there were a pair of blue eyes staring at him in the dark.

The dark clouds finally couldn't bear the weight of the raindrops, and the heavy rain poured down, crackling on the windows.Everything between heaven and earth was covered by the rain curtain, and the sky became even darker.

A knock on the door interrupted Ida's thoughts. It was Sergey.The wine smack on his face has faded.

"They're coming." Sergey said, "The alarm we set up on the periphery has been triggered."

Ada turned her head and asked, "How much longer?"

"Within half an hour," Sergey said, "Sidorov just went out to take a look, and they have already mixed in with the residents around the manor. I think they will launch an attack after the handling is done."

Ada nodded and asked irrelevantly, "Sergey, are you afraid?"

"To be honest, a little bit." Sergey replied after thinking for a while, "We are no longer a problem of inferior numbers, but..."

In the abandoned manor, including Ada, there were only seven people. The menacing Ministry of Magic must have gathered many people, and the number of people could also reflect the determination of the Ministry of Magic to capture Ada.

"If you can't do anything, you will leave as soon as possible." Ada said, "Don't worry about me."

Sergey suddenly half-kneeled in front of Ada, and said, "No matter what, I will never abandon you. This is a man's oath, even if he loses his life, he must keep it."

"I know, I know." Ada said, she didn't laugh, and she didn't think the man's oath was ridiculous.She continued: "Your life is still useful to me, so I can't throw it here. Well, go, get ready, so we can welcome guests."

Sergey was speechless, he exited the room and told everyone to get ready as soon as possible.

Ada, who stayed in the room, said to herself: "It's more convenient to be alone, coming and going like the wind." Fortunately, no one else heard these words, and it would be too sad to hear them.

In the reception room, the flame in the fireplace had been extinguished, and the grilled leg of lamb was also cold. Sergey, Sidorov and others stood up respectfully to welcome Ada who came out of the small room.

Ada did not carry out pre-war mobilization. Although she has ways to confuse people, she doesn't want to use them on those who will accompany her through life and death.She just stopped briefly in front of everyone, from Sergey, to Sidorov, to Laurent, to Bernard and Robert, and Hartmann at the end.

Then, Ada walked out of the cold reception room first, and Sergey and others followed in her footsteps and walked out one by one.

Standing under the porch, Ada lightly stroked the wand in her hand.The yew wand is as excited as its master, eagerly awaiting the arrival of its foes, eager to tear them apart.

The torrential rain showed no signs of stopping, and the huge raindrops formed a line, making people's vision blurry.

Ada under the porch squinted her eyes, she could only vaguely see a large group of people crossing the decaying iron gate of the manor and heading towards the ivory-white building where she was.

Due to the obstruction of the heavy rain, Ada couldn't see the opponent's number clearly, and the sound of raindrops falling on the ground also covered the opponent's footsteps.Ada took one last look at the six people standing behind her. After tonight, I don't know how many people can continue to breathe.

Getting closer, Ada could already make out the leader, Fudge, who should be wearing a pinstriped robe.Beside Fudge is the square-faced Amelia Bones, and Scrimgeour is like an old lion.

On the other side it seemed to be Kingsley Shacklebolt.If Kingsley was present, did Dumbledore know it too?Perhaps Albus Dumbledore was on his way.

　Can anyone tell me why there are so many collections suddenly. . .Puzzled. . .
