The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 521 Who in the world doesn’t recognize you?

Led by Cornelius Fudge, the Ministry of Magic entered the vast abandoned manor and stopped not far from the ivory-white main building. It was not that they did not want to rush in at once, but that they could not go any further.

There is an invisible barrier in front of the main building. The barrier made of magic can not only block the invasion of raindrops, but also stop the people from the Ministry of Magic.

If anyone dares to step forward, it would be good if they could leave their body intact.

Even though the Ministry of Magic has been at peace for a long time and its combat effectiveness has declined, and the quality of its employees is also mixed, those who can be selected to raid the manor tonight or stand in the front row are all veterans.

They could tell something just by looking at the rain marks on the porch.

One group stood under the porch, and the other group stood in the rain, and the two groups looked at each other across a barrier. Ada and Fudge, the leaders of both groups, did not speak, and there was only the sound of wind and rain in their ears.

Fudge looked at the young Ada with hatred on his face.

At first, Fudge thought that Ada was just Dumbledore's vanguard and pawn. It was not until recently that Fudge realized that Ada had never belonged to anyone and only obeyed herself.

Amelia Bones was also keeping an eye on Ada. When Ada took the initiative to contact her last summer, Bones had a high opinion of her, but it turned out that Bones still underestimated Ada.

Not only Cornelius Fudge and Amelia Bones, but everyone underestimated Ada, including Dumbledore. Even without Dumbledore's support, she could still stand out from the crowd.

The support from Vida Rozier on the other side of the strait made Aida even more powerful.

Ada was also observing the Ministry of Magic, trying to identify the composition of the opposing team as much as possible. Everyone who was supposed to come had come, and it could be said that the lineup was complete. In order to deal with Ada, Fudge had invested a lot of money.

When the heavy rain began to fall, the dark clouds covering the sky were brewing thunder and lightning. Just as the two sides looked at each other, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, opening the curtain of the battle and sounding the horn for both sides to attack.

As the thunder roared, everyone at the Ministry of Magic raised their wands and began to bombard the magic barrier in front of the building. Colorful spells fell on the barrier, creating circles of magic ripples.

The people under the porch would not just sit there and watch. A six-man counterattack led by Sergei was also carried out simultaneously.

This time they were under siege, and people could die if they were not careful. In this situation, Ada would naturally not be so stupid as to restrict them, so the six people shot out green spells from their wands, all aimed at killing whoever they could.

Ada did not attack. She was maintaining the operation of the magic barrier to prevent it from being broken by the people from the Ministry of Magic.

Once the barrier fails to protect the building, they will be trapped in the dilemma of being besieged by a group of people, and their life and death will be left to fate.

The green light of the Killing Curse passed through the barrier and fell into the crowd of people in the Ministry of Magic. Some people dodged it, but those who didn't could only lie down and die on the spot, dying in this battle that was neither black nor white, and unclear.

It was unknown whether it was Fudge or someone else who gave the order, but the spells fired from the Ministry of Magic began to be mixed with the Killing Curse, and the frequency of the attacks became higher. Ada's pressure increased sharply, and the frequent explosions of magical energy caused the light curtain in front of the building to shake continuously.

Occasionally, one or two spells would pass through the barrier and hit Ada. Fortunately, Sergei and Hartman were standing beside Ada, and they blocked all the spells and protected Ada.

Human power is limited, and it is still unrealistic for Ada to resist the attack of so many people with her own strength. It is only a matter of time before the magic barrier is broken. Ada is already proud enough to have achieved this point.

Ada knew that this was not a solution, and she couldn't stay in her shell forever. Ada made a very covert gesture, and Sergei and others beside her immediately understood and began to disperse.

Sergei and Hartmann moved towards a nearby pillar, while Sidorov, Laurent, Bernard and Robert entered the building to prevent anyone from outflanking them once the barrier was broken.

The barrier that had held out for so long was finally unable to hold, and seeing this, the people from the Ministry of Magic intensified their attack.

Before the barrier made of magic power was about to break, Aida turned passive into active, and she broke the barrier first. The shocking sound drowned out the thunder roaring in the sky, and the violent magic fluctuations made the earth tremble.

A huge amount of energy poured down, and everyone in the Ministry of Magic had to raise their wands to block it or hide on the spot. They had no chance to attack the ivory-white building the moment the barrier was destroyed.

Even though the defense was timely, many people were still injured or knocked unconscious by the wave.

Ada has always had a special liking for large-scale, high-damage magic, and she is also happy to delve into this type of magic. When she is in trouble, she uses tactical interspersion, and when she is successful, she uses firepower coverage. In today's magic world, there are only two people who dare to say that they can definitely beat Ada.

Dumbledore couldn't beat her, and the two had never fought each other officially. The last time was just Dumbledore's private instruction, and Ada was not in her prime at that time. Voldemort did fight her, but Voldemort had just been reborn, and Ada had just reached her peak. At that time, Ada was slightly inferior to Tom Riddle. It's hard to say now, we have to fight again to know.

The Ministry of Magic withstood the magical bombardment and began to counterattack under the leadership of Amelia Bones. In the British magic world, Amelia Bones is considered a very capable fighter.

Before today, Professor McGonagall and Ms. Bones were probably the two most powerful witches in England. After today, Esmeralda Drizzt will be the most powerful witch in England.

Ms. Bones advanced steadily forward, secretly shocked by Ada's strength.

Ms. Bones found that she always underestimated this girl. Even though the Ministry of Magic now had the upper hand, she still did not dare to let her guard down, for fear that Ada might have some other tricks up her sleeve.

The Ministry of Magic was divided into three groups. One group continued to suppress Ada, Sergei and Hartman under the porch. The other two groups formed a pincer to encircle and annihilate Ada and others.

Soon, the building was in flames. Sidorov and his four companions worked in pairs. The four who were familiar with the layout of the house tried their best to delay the Ministry of Magic's attack and prevent Ada and the other two under the porch from being attacked from both sides.

Ada's defeat seemed to have been decided long ago. She had anticipated this day when she decided to return to England. Moreover, even though she knew that the other party was going to raid the manor, she still chose to stay with all her might.

Is Ada crazy? Has her recent success made her arrogant?

The answer is no, Ada is not crazy, she just wants to know where her limit is, find it, and break it, even if the way to find the limit is to pile up human lives.

Only in front of her family and close friends is Esmeralda Drizzt a girl.

Ada raised her wand high and drew a huge circle above her head. A blue flame instantly ignited in front of the porch. In the blink of an eye, the blue flame engulfed the entire building.

The Ministry of Magic personnel who broke into the building by roundabout means could only retreat from the house, otherwise they would be burned to death by the flames. Those who were touched by the flames would not leave any ashes, they would only become rare nutrients to strengthen the flames.

The Ministry of Magic evacuated the building under the cover of Amelia Bones and several other experts, which relieved Sergei and others who were besieged. But Ada did not retreat but advanced. She jumped up, rushed out of the flames, and rushed to the front of the crowd.

This scene made everyone think that Ada was crazy. Isn’t this courting death?

Despite their doubts, the Ministry of Magic employees raised their wands and used Ada as a target.

But a tall shield suddenly stood up in front of Ada. This shield was not made of magic, but existed in reality, because it blocked several killing curses for Ada!

Ada, who was behind the shield, raised her right hand again, and pointed her magic wand straight to the sky. Then, she made a downward chopping motion with her right hand holding the magic wand, and saw a bolt of lightning falling from the sky and exploding in the center of the crowd.

The crowd had no time to attack and fled in all directions, thus avoiding being burned to a crisp by the lightning.

When the people of the Ministry of Magic fled to a safe place, they suddenly felt no raindrops. Looking up, they saw that it was still raining heavily all around, but the rain had disappeared in the area near the main building.

At this time, no one was wondering why the rain suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at Ada, because that was the key point and the most dangerous one. After looking at it, everyone found the reason why the rain stopped.

Aida behind the shield raised her hands for the third time, and the rainwater above her was all drawn by her, piling up more and more. No one knew what Aida wanted to do, but they knew they couldn't let her go on.

But before anyone could stop them, a chill hit their bodies, and the rain in the air turned into sharp icicles. Ada's hand holding the wand was still chopping down, and the icicles flew towards the scattered people like flying knives.

Two consecutive large-scale attacks caused the employees of the Ministry of Magic to fall into continuous chaos. Many people were injured and fell to the ground, and some lost their lives. Taking this opportunity, Ada flashed and rushed in front of Fudge.

"Avada Kedavra!" Ada shouted loudly. It was the first time she had shouted a spell in a long time.

The green light came on, and Cornelius Fudge's eyes also showed despair. However, Fudge did not fall down. A big bird suddenly appeared in front of Fudge, swallowed the killing curse in one gulp, and turned into a ball of fire.

A soft white light appeared in the manor. In this light, all the icicles that pierced everyone melted, and the late raindrops fell to the ground again.

Ada dropped her wand weakly and slowly backed away, knowing that she had just missed the best chance to kill Fudge.
