The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 571 Exchange of Interests
The interrogation room was never a comfortable place. The proud and powerful Master Malfoy felt sore in his waist and back after sitting for a while, but he kept holding on and finally waited for the person he wanted to wait for.

During the summer vacation, Draco Malfoy overheard part of the Death Eaters' conversation and learned that Ada might be backing the Ministry of Magic, and that Ada might be in charge of the Ministry of Magic herself.

So when Malfoy was taken to the Ministry of Magic by the Aurors for interrogation, he refused to say anything just to see Ada.

It's not because Ada abused him thousands of times, he took Ada as his first love, there are others in that position, Ada is not worthy. The reason why he wanted to see Ada was because Malfoy felt that only Ada could help him.

In exchange for benefits, Draco Malfoy will tell everything he knows.

In this way, Malfoy waited for Ada as he wished, and when Ada sat down, Malfoy couldn't wait to speak. Obviously, this was the first time for Master Malfoy to do such a thing. Whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage. He didn't understand this principle because he was inexperienced.

Ada was still observing Malfoy. It wasn't that she wanted to show off, but she was a little surprised by Malfoy's transformation.

From the first year of Draco Malfoy's school, Master Malfoy jumped up and down, looking down on others. Until Ada left school, Malfoy was a staunch believer in bloodline theory, like a peacock that only knew how to show off.

Today, Draco Malfoy showed a different side of himself. Although he was still immature, he had indeed grown up. Could it be that the failure of Lucius Malfoy was too much of a blow to Draco?
Ada was deep in thought and kept silent, but Malfoy opposite her was extremely anxious. He was already nervous, and now he felt even more uneasy.

"I only have one request, just one!" Malfoy said anxiously, "Oh, and money... You know, the Malfoy family is very rich... I can give you more money!"

Grown up, but not completely. Malfoy only thought of Ada's money-grubbing side, but forgot that what he just said was very rude, especially when he needed to ask someone to do something.

Looking at Malfoy who was full of anxiety, Ada said slowly: "Tell me your request first, I will consider it."

Draco Malfoy swallowed and said a little excitedly: "I only ask you to rescue my parents! They are in Malfoy Manor, always there. This is my only request!"

Ada clenched her fists subconsciously. After Lucius Malfoy and other Death Eaters were rescued, the Ministry of Magic had conducted a surprise inspection of Malfoy Manor, but apart from Narcissa Malfoy and Draco, no one else was found in the manor.

Now that she knew that Lucius had been hiding in Malfoy Manor, Ada was naturally dissatisfied with her work in the Ministry.

Ada said coldly: "Go on."

Unconsciously, Ada's tone became a little cold, which made Malfoy mistakenly think that Ada was unwilling to help. So, the panicked Malfoy said: "Help me! Just help me, I will tell you everything!"

"I said: Go on." Ada's words were still cold. "Are you deaf?"

The inexperienced Draco Malfoy finally understood, and with a beaming smile he told everything he knew.

It turned out that after Voldemort attacked Azkaban and rescued the captured Death Eaters, he arranged all these people in Malfoy Manor, because the place was so big!
Nowadays, the huge manor has become the world of outsiders, and the Malfoy family has become guests, living under someone else's roof.

If that were not bad enough, what was worse was that because of his poor performance, Lucius Malfoy was no longer valued by Voldemort, and his status plummeted from a superior person to an inferior person.

Even the werewolf Greyback didn't take Lucius seriously. You know, although Greyback was the leader of the werewolves, his status was not very good.

Greyback was only allowed to wear the robes of the Death Eaters when Voldemort needed him. Most of the Death Eaters looked down on Greyback, and the crazy woman Bellatrix even called Greyback a "filthy scavenger".

Even Greyback is such a person, but now he doesn't take Lucius seriously, which shows how low Lucius's status as a younger brother is.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was Voldemort's mission. He gave Malfoy an impossible task - to assassinate Albus Dumbledore.

"The Dark Lord asked you to assassinate Dumbledore?" Ada asked in surprise, "And within a year? He is absolutely crazy!"

Unbelievable, Draco's words made Ada think that Voldemort was crazy, it must be caused by soul slicing. The person who could come up with this idea must be a bit sick!
What was Draco Malfoy thinking when he assassinated Albus Dumbledore?
But Ada changed her mind and thought that perhaps Voldemort was counting on Draco to succeed, and he intended to let Draco die in order to punish Lucius and deter other Death Eaters.

"Yes, I have no choice." Malfoy continued, "Either die immediately or take this mission." What he didn't say was that he was not afraid at all when he took this mission, but was excited. Assassinating Dumbledore is an extremely difficult mission. If you are not careful, you will never return. However, the more difficult the mission, the more it can reflect a person's value. As long as Draco Malfoy succeeds, his family will be valued by Voldemort again, and Malfoy will regain his former glory.

Malfoy, who had a high opinion of himself, ignored his mother's worries and returned to Hogwarts in a heroic manner. At that time, he felt that he could handle everything and that the Malfoy family would regain its reputation in his hands.

But as time went by, Malfoy's mysterious self-confidence was also worn away, and he lost his previous ambition. But facing the pressure of Voldemort, Malfoy could not be a salted fish, he could only continue to move forward towards the bottomless abyss.

So Draco Malfoy ordered the opal necklace by mail, wanting to try it for the first time.

As luck would have it, when Katie was receiving the necklace, she caught Malfoy. Malfoy had no choice but to use the Imperius Curse to control Katie and make her his puppet.

"Who was your original choice?" Ada asked. Since Katie was just an accident, there must be an original scapegoat.

"Neville Longbottom," said Malfoy. "That idiot is easy to get. I'm not sure about the others."

After hearing this, Ada was speechless. Draco Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange were really a family, and they were a disaster for the Longbottom family.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

First, he was caught by Katie, and then Lini quarreled with Katie and accidentally broke the package of the opal necklace, causing Katie to be cursed by the necklace and Ada to come. Draco Malfoy was really unlucky, and even drinking cold water would get his teeth stuck.

Malfoy was also frightened when he learned that Katie was injured. In Slytherin House, Ada's name could stop children from crying at night.

After all, this man was the one who dared to kill the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Wolf Mie, with his own hands in front of the entire school.

Malfoy wanted to escape, but he couldn't. His parents were still in Voldemort's hands, and he couldn't ignore their lives. He could only pray that Ada would not come, and prepare for the next assassination.

While waiting for the verdict, Malfoy's mind should have been a mess, but he surprisingly figured out a lot of things.

So there was the scene in the interrogation room today. It was a decision that seemed absurd and even whimsical. Malfoy decided to ask Ada for help.

If Ada had not gone to Hogwarts, or if she had not been able to trace him back, and if Dumbledore was still unaware, Malfoy would have continued his plan to assassinate Dumbledore and used his own power to rescue his parents.

If Ada had found out and taken him away from Hogwarts, things would have turned out like this.

Ada smiled. After all, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Draco Malfoy's decision was not because he found the sea of ​​suffering boundless and wanted to turn back. He was still considering himself and his parents.

"In fact, you can ask Dumbledore for help." Ada said, "He has been waiting for you to change your mind! Even if you don't really change your mind, but just want to get rid of the control of the Dark Lord."

"Dumbledore?"

Malfoy repeated uncertainly, rubbing his cheeks in pain, and soon his pale face turned red.

"Yes, Dumbledore is willing to give a misguided person like you a chance."

Ida then asked, "I have a question that you must answer. Why me?"
