The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 665 The Curtain Opens ([-])

On a night in late autumn, the wind was howling, and fallen leaves covered the path leading to the Burrow.

After the long meeting, Mr. Weasley was walking home, and Ada obediently followed behind him, just like before.

After the meeting, the two first apparated to the small road outside the village of San Catchpole, accepted the Auror inspection by the guards here, and then walked towards the Burrow step by step.

It was such a hassle every time Mr. Weasley came home, but there was nothing he could do about it.Arthur Weasley was the Minister for Magic, and his safety was important to the Ministry.

The Burrow is not only the home of Mr. Weasley, but also the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.Safety was the reason why the Order of the Phoenix chose The Burrow. Aurors were outside, and members of the Order of the Phoenix were included. Even if the Death Eaters guessed that the Burrow was the new headquarters, they would not dare to invade.

Mr. Weasley slowed down suddenly. He had a few words to say to Ida before heading home.

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

"I know that my personality is easy to offend people." Ada replied, "But at this time, I should be tough and clear-cut, to give courage to the timid and cowardly, and to give some warnings to the walls that are shaking with the wind."

With the war imminent, there must be no second voice in the Ministry of Magic, and no one should question the decisions made by the Ministry.Unify voices, unify steps, and defeat Voldemort and his Death Eaters in one fell swoop.

As for whether it will offend the International Federation of Wizards, Ada doesn't care at all, and the idiot Smith can't represent the International Federation of Wizards.

If Aginbad got angry just because of Ada's words, then this wizard from Africa has nothing to be afraid of.

To take Dumbledore's place and become the president of the International Federation of Wizards, Babajid Akinbad should be a smart man.

Smart people should know that the current British wizarding world is a powder keg, and if you don't get involved, you don't get involved.If the gunpowder barrel is accidentally ignited, it will not be as simple as setting yourself on fire.

A wise man should also know what a nuisance it is to dictate.Interfering in the internal affairs of the Ministry of Magic at such a time, and talking about the "International Statute of Secrecy", hasn't anyone been insulted?
When Voldemort lost for the first time, the entire British wizarding community celebrated the end of the victory.A large number of violations of the "International Statute of Secrecy" occurred that day, and the International Federation of Wizards also reprimanded and held them accountable.

But Millicent Barnold, 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 say no to you." Mr. Weasley said with a smile, pointing at Ida helplessly with his right hand, he has nothing to do with the girl in front of him.

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

In the face of the frightening Voldemort, many people in the army were timid before fighting. If the morale of the army is shaken, the morale will inevitably drop below sea level.Don't forget those fools in the magic world. If they secretly poke trouble, or turn their backs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In that case, the Ministry of Magic should simply not participate in the war, and it would not be enough to hold them back.

The two armies confronted each other. As soon as the battle started, a group of people were scared away, and then a group of people surrendered, followed by a one-sided massacre.Unless someone can instantly kill Voldemort, but that is not realistic at all, it is better to hope that the Death Eaters will turn their backs on the dark side.

"I know your consideration." Mr. Weasley said, "but these words should not be said by you, you can give these words to me. The effect will not be too bad, and you don't have to offend anyone."

In Mr. Weasley's mind, Ada's future will be as vast as the sky. She should make more friends and accumulate more contacts.Mr. Weasley said these offending words, and he didn't intend to stay in the minister's position anyway.

If unfortunately the war is lost, it will be very difficult for Mr. Weasley, as the minister, to retire unscathed, and the post of minister will also be held by Death Eaters.

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 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 holding Flag crazily in her heart, she just felt warm in her heart.

A good word is warm in three winters, but a bad word hurts others and it is cold in June.Mr. Weasley's words about Ida's consideration warmed her heart.

While talking, the crooked burrow appeared in front of the two 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 the others sat around the living room, listening to the twins tell what happened in Diagon Alley during the day.

Ada knew why Ron was so good at making up stories. He obviously just slept under the Black Lake, but he forcibly called it "Death in the Black Lake for an Hour".

Water is active, and trees have roots.Ron's ability to make up nonsense stems from his long-term immersion, and he has won the true biography of Fred and George.

The twins are very talented in storytelling, and their narration is very immersive. The members of the Order of the Phoenix sitting around will change their expressions as they narrate.

Hearing that Vader was almost killed, Bill frowned, Fleur covered her ears and didn't dare to continue listening; when she heard the dung thrown at Voldemort, Sirius called out "Enjoyment, enjoyment", wishing he could see it with his own eyes. See you; when it came to Scrimgeour's unfortunate death, everyone was 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' vernacular, but to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

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

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

Ada followed into the living room and huddled on a sofa with the twins.As soon as she sat down, before she could catch her breath, everyone asked questions about Vader's injury.

Fortunately, Vader's injury is not serious, and he will recover after a while.

If Vader had a hidden disease in the past, even if he didn't die today, he would lose half his life.But after Ada's "treatment", Vader's physical condition is very good now, this minor injury is nothing, just need to rest and recuperate for a few days.

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

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

Although Voldemort is a descendant of Slytherin, he failed to inherit a single copper Knut from the Gaunt family.Rings and lockets are invaluable, but he turned them into horcruxes and became worthless.

However, even if Voldemort is penniless, he can still live in wealth. There are many big dogs in the ranks of Death Eaters, and they are happy to offer their wealth to their masters.

The twins looked at Ada, who was devouring her food. She looked like a hamster with puffy cheeks.Fred and George winked, and asked Ida with their eyes, if they need to answer for her, after all, her mouth is not free to speak now.

Ada nodded, and Fred spoke up, speaking his mind.
