The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 527 New Candidate

There was a second knock on the door, and the three people in the room had different reactions.

Ada sat in the chair without moving. Laura, who was checking the information, took a few steps away from the door. Sergei walked forward and opened the door.

The door opened, and Hartman, dressed in Muggle clothes, walked in. Timotheus Hartman was a serious person, so his Muggle clothes looked normal, unlike other wizards who looked out of place.

In contrast to his strict personality is Hartmann's appearance. Although he is already forty years old, his face is still childish and tender, and with pure blond hair, this appearance makes him very popular.

Hartman stood upright in front of the table and said, "Miss, six Hogwarts students used the guest entrance of the Ministry of Magic. Among them are your brother Ronald Weasley, your sister Ginevra Weasley, and that Harry Potter."

After listening to Hartmann's serious report, Ada turned her head and looked out the window.

London's nights are always brightly lit and dreamy, but Harry and his friends traveled all the way from Scotland to London, definitely not to enjoy the night view on both sides of the Thames. Even if they wanted to experience the customs and culture of London, they couldn't experience it in the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic wanted to catch Ada, so it set up surveillance in the orphanage in Little Whinging, the Burrow, the Leaky Cauldron, Hogsmeade, and St. Mungo's, all of which were places where Ada might appear.

The other party had already made their move, and Ada was not going to take the beating, so she naturally had means of counterattack. So she asked Hartman and others who had returned to monitor the Ministry of Magic headquarters from behind.

As for how Hartman and others monitored and whether they had developed spies, Ada had no idea. If Ada had to arrange everything, she might as well drive all these people back to the other side.

In addition, you can also learn about the infiltration of Dumbledore and Voldemort into the Ministry of Magic respectively, and make preliminary preparations for eliminating and cracking down on dissidents in the future.

Hartman continued, "I'm sorry, we are working under the Ministry of Magic's spy line, and we don't know the internal situation clearly. We have sent someone to follow into the Ministry of Magic to investigate."

"Titi is still so serious, so boring." Laura said, raising her eyelids.

Titti is Timothy's nickname, but only Laura calls Hartman by his nickname. Everyone else calls him Timothy, or just his last name.

Hartman's handsome cheeks blushed, and he said, "I'm not serious. I'm just completing the job that the lady assigned to me."

"Okay, stop teasing Titi." Ada said with a smile, "Titi, this nickname really suits you Timothy, very cute. Really."

Sergei, who was standing behind Ada, had his beard shaking constantly, and he was obviously trying hard to hold back his laughter.

"Timothy, thank you for your hard work," Ada said, "You go to the Ministry of Magic first to prepare for the meeting, and we will rush over later."

No matter who attacks the Ministry of Magic, I, Drizzt, will help! Of course, this is a joke, Harry doesn't have a battalion of equipment, and Ada doesn't have the sentence of Xiangjiang River flowing away.

Ever since the plan to take over the Ministry of Magic was made, Ada has regarded the Ministry of Magic as her forbidden territory. To touch the Ministry of Magic would be like slapping her in the face. Can anyone slap her in the face?

The most important point is that the prophecy is placed in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. That is something Voldemort has always wanted to get. How could Ada let Voldemort get his wish?

Although I don’t know what Harry is up to, it’s impossible for him to come to London for no reason. This is most likely related to Voldemort.

Harry could see Voldemort's thoughts, which was what Dumbledore was worried about and one of the reasons why the headmaster distanced himself from him this year. As the former second-in-command, Ada naturally knew this.

After Harry saw Mr. Weasley being attacked on Christmas Eve, Dumbledore asked him to learn brain defense from Snape to prevent Voldemort from invading his brain in reverse, influencing him, or even controlling him.

Harry, Snape, it was Dumbledore's idea to bring these two together. It would be a miracle if they could learn well.

One is a reckless teenager who regards his father as a hero; the other is a gloomy professor who keeps everything to himself and finds fault with the Potter father and son.

Putting these two people together, I wonder if Dumbledore ate too much candy and felt sick of it.

Harry broke into the Ministry of Magic for no reason tonight. He must have seen something again and thought that Voldemort or the Death Eaters were causing trouble in the Ministry, so he ran over so impulsively.

If Ada is reckless and timid, then Harry is reckless throughout his life, reaching the pinnacle of recklessness. I have never seen anyone so reckless, daring to confront Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, in his first year. If it weren't for the magical protection on his body, Harry's grave would be covered with grass.

If this was really a trap set by Voldemort tonight, then we should just take our classmates with us to send him off!

If it was just Harry and the prophecy, Ada could just sit back and watch Dumbledore clean up the mess. But Ron and Ginny were there too, so Ada couldn't just stand by and watch, and had to go down to protect them.

In Dumbledore's eyes, Ron and Ginny were not as precious as Harry Potter. If they got bumped, Dumbledore would not feel bad, but Ada would feel bad.

At this time, only Ada and Lola were left in the room. Sergei and the lovely Hartmann had gone out to prepare.

Looking at Ada gritting her teeth, Laura asked, "Why? Do you really want to break Ron and Ginny's legs now?"

More than just a broken leg, Ada now wanted to throw away all the spider nests for Ron and all the things related to Harry from Ginny! She had no idea of ​​her own abilities, and she had to learn to be reckless even though she didn't have the courage to do so.

"Have you finished watching?" Ada asked unhappily, "We'll leave after you finish. You're just looking for trouble!"

Laura could see Ada's anxiety and her worry about Ron and Ginny. She said, "After we finish reading, we can talk while walking."

After they finished talking, the two walked out of the room at the same time, and went downstairs with Sergei and others who were ready. Along the way, Laura was whispering to Ada, telling her what she thought after reading the information.

"Thickness and Diggory are really good," Laura whispered, "especially Diggory. This will help you win over Cedric Diggory and other recent graduates. It will also send a good signal that you are not an enemy of the Ministry of Magic, you are only an enemy of Fudge."

Laura continued, "In addition to the person in the photo, I nominate two more people. The first one is Lucius Malfoy. Do you remember what the lady said about this Malfoy?"

Ida couldn't remember exactly what the evaluation was, but it was probably about the same as being a fence-sitter. With Lucius Malfoy's financial resources and his influence in the British wizarding world, if he had someone to support him, his chances of becoming a minister would indeed be great.

But one thing needs to be noted, Malfoy is a Death Eater, and is still valued by Voldemort. In this case, if Ada can't come up with something more tempting, Malfoy has no reason to betray Voldemort.

Following Voldemort is also a mess, following you Drizzt is also a mess, not to mention that Drizzt's current power is not as strong as Voldemort's, why betray him? Is it because of love, or because Ada looks better than the self-harming Voldemort?

"What about the other one?" Ada asked. Let's put Lucius Malfoy aside for now. Fudge hasn't stepped down yet anyway, so there's still time to observe.

"The other one is right next to you. You thought of his son but not him." Laura said slowly, "Arthur Weasley."

Ada was silent for a moment. She had indeed never considered Mr. Weasley. In terms of financial resources, Malfoy was far superior to Mr. Weasley, but in terms of popularity, Lucius Malfoy was not as good as Arthur Weasley.

Mr. Weasley had been in the Ministry for many years, and he knew everything about the Ministry of Magic, inside and out. Moreover, Mr. Weasley would never betray Ada.

Ada still has this confidence.

In addition, if the Minister was Arthur Weasley, Ada would face much less pressure from Dumbledore. With the relatively mild-mannered Mr. Weasley, there would be much less opposition in the Ministry.

One more thing to remember, the Weasleys are pure-bloods.

"Is it feasible?" Ada asked. She was a little worried that Mr. Weasley, who was kind-hearted, would refuse or object.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Laura said, "I think... if Louis were still alive, he wouldn't be much better to you than Mr. Weasley."

It would be great if Mr. Weasley actually agreed!

This way, Percy Weatherby could go wherever he wanted.
