The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 54 The Gap
In the Forbidden Forest, Foley cast the Death Curse at Dumbledore, and a green light rushed towards Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stood still, and with a wave of his hand, a cut tree flew directly towards the death curse, blocking the spell.

Foley attacked almost frantically, and the wand kept firing spells, but these spells did not cause Dumbledore too much trouble.

Dumbledore didn't even move much, he blocked all of Foley's attacks with a graceful wave of his wand.

If it was Fuli who was teasing Ida before, then the situation has completely reversed now, and Fuli has become the one being teased.But Dumbledore didn't play tricks on welfare, he wasn't the type to do such things, it was because the gap between the two was too great.

Foley was still standing on the ground, and Dumbledore had already reached the atmosphere. The difference was huge, which made all of Foley's attacks seem powerless.

This situation makes it difficult for the self-esteemed Welfare to accept. He has always been called a genius, and he was appreciated by Voldemort to join the ranks of Death Eaters.

It's just that before he officially joined, Voldemort fell.

Foley has always blamed himself, thinking that he joined too late and failed to help Voldemort. He thought that if Voldemort had treated him as a confidant and cultivated him himself, everything would have been different.

Foley gasped heavily, feeling powerless one after another. He knew that he was no match for Dumbledore, but he never thought that the gap between himself and Dumbledore would be so big.

But now that he fought Dumbledore, he finally realized how naive all his plans were. He was like a child in front of Dumbledore.

Of course, he only fought Dumbledore. If McGonagall or Snape were left today, he would probably feel the same sigh.

Dumbledore started to fight back. He, an old man, needs to rest earlier instead of standing in the Forbidden Forest and blowing the wind.He twirled his wand slightly, and a bright white light rushed towards Foley.

Foley, surrounded by white light, waved his wand violently, but no matter what he did the white light still surrounded him.There was something like a whip in the white light, hitting Fuli one after another, and Fuli howled angrily.

The dazzling white light illuminated a large area of ​​the Forbidden Forest, and when the light dissipated, Fuli reappeared.He was kneeling on the ground, and the vines that appeared from nowhere bound him tightly in place. He couldn't struggle at all, and the more he struggled, the tighter the vines bound him.

Exhausted, Foley said loudly, "Are you going to kill me? Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore looked at Foley who was tightly tied up, and there was some regret in his eyes. From the point of view of magic alone, Foley is indeed an excellent wizard, and his combat power is very good even in wartime .

It's just that Fuli took the wrong path and chose a path of no return.If he's going the right way, he should be able to achieve more, instead of sinking into the dark arts and becoming an executioner who can only use the killing curse.

"No, I won't do that, you will pay for what you have done." Dumbledore said, "Daniel Bell, and Ada, you are responsible for these two attacks."

"Responsible? Send me to Azkaban?" Foley said with a smile, "They will welcome me like a hero."

Dumbledore said: "Maybe, but I think dementors would welcome you more. Although I don't like those creatures, they are the masters of Azkaban."

"I will watch you in Azkaban, and I will definitely celebrate the day you are killed by the master!" Foley cursed viciously.

"Even if I die, there will still be people who will continue to resist Voldemort, and there will be people who will defeat him." Dumbledore thought for a while before he said this, "There is no shortage of heroes in this world, and they will always be there. Show up when needed."

"I have no intention of arguing with you about this. You will see that day come. Darkness never obscures the light." Dumbledore continued.

He raised his wand and cast a stun spell at Foley, and the bound and strong Foley passed out directly.

Ada lay on the stretcher and stared blankly at the dazzling white light. She really didn't want to leave.She wanted to see Dumbledore teach Foley a lesson, and she wanted to see what Dumbledore's fights were like, to see how the greatest wizards fought.

Ada wanted to be Kangkang, but she couldn't do it, she could only lie on a stretcher.Her life was threatened, her spirit was in a state of high tension, and she was constantly casting spells. Under all kinds of pressure, Ada was a little sluggish now. She couldn't stand up at all, and even the color of her hair became dull.

Professor McGonagall, who was always considerate, suddenly became inconsiderate. She didn't see Ada's meaning at all, and thought Ada was in pain, so instead of stopping, she accelerated her pace.

The three of them plus a stretcher quickly walked out of the Forbidden Forest. Outside the Forbidden Forest, they encountered Hagrid in full armor and the twins who were spun around in a hurry.When the twins saw the three of them, they ran over directly.

During the time when Ida was in danger, the twins had been suffering. If they hadn't been tripped by Filch, maybe Ida would have someone to talk to and wouldn't run to the basement alone. You will not be kidnapped by the vicious Welfare.

Worry and self-blame have been torturing the hearts of the twins. If Hagrid hadn't forcibly hugged the twins, the two brothers would have entered the Forbidden Forest with Dumbledore and the others.

"Ada, are you okay?" The two people cared about Ada loudly, and they were finally relieved when they saw that Ada was still alive.

"Keep your voice down, Mr. Weasley." Professor McGonagall said displeasedly, "She needs to rest now."

The twins nodded repeatedly, but the two brothers did not leave, but kept following the stretcher. They held Ada's hand tightly, for fear of losing her again.

"I'm fine, I'm worrying you." Ada whispered, she looked at the twins with a smile, and signaled the two brothers not to worry anymore.

Seeing Ada's smile, the twins blamed themselves even more. Fred said, "We will stand in front of you next time. No, there will be no next time, and you will no longer be in danger."

George also said: "You will never be alone again, we will protect you."

"We won't let anyone bully you again until we die," the twins said together.

"None of us will die, we will all live well." Ada smiled again, although this smile consumed a lot of her energy.

Looking at the three comforting each other, Snape seemed to recall some bad memories.He speaks to interrupt the warm moment of the three people, and he is very suitable to play the role of spoiler or atmosphere destroyer.

He said, "Weasley, you guys better stop talking to her, and I wouldn't mind giving Drizzt another bottle of Dumber."

The twins and Ada who had been "threatened" stopped speaking. The twins were afraid that they would disturb Ada's rest, and Ada really had no strength and energy.

"Professor, how is it?" Hagrid came over and asked in a low voice, lowering his voice.It's just that even if he lowered his voice, the words he said were still very loud.

Professor McGonagall replied: "It's nothing, Ada needs to rest now. You are waiting here for Dumbledore, he will come out soon."

"Okay, Professor." Hagrid said, he lightly touched the top of Ada's head and left the line, returning to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

The group of six quickly returned to the castle. They took Ada to the school infirmary and handed her over to Madam Pomfrey. The moment she touched the hospital bed, Ada fell into a deep sleep.

The twins wanted to stay and guard her, but Professor McGonagall forcefully drove them out and directly escorted them back to the common room.

Indeed, as Professor McGonagall said, not long after McGonagall and the others left, a figure came out from the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Who is it?" Hagrid raised his crossbow, aiming at the figure.

"It's me, Hagrid."

"Professor Dumbledore!" Hagrid heard Dumbledore's voice and recognized his figure.

Behind Dumbledore was Foley, who was tightly tied up floating in mid-air.Hagrid carried the unconscious Foley on his shoulders, and he asked, "What shall we do now?"

"Professor McGonagall should have written a letter to Minister Fudge, and when he comes, we will hand over the benefits to him," said Dumbledore.

"Is he going to be sent to Azkaban?" Even a strong man like Hagrid still couldn't help trembling when he said the name of the prison in Azkaban.

"Maybe, it all depends on how Fudge wants to deal with it. The Ministry of Magic hasn't caught a Death Eater for a long time."
