The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 577: Voldemort's Belated Arrival
The huge black fire seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth, and suddenly exploded in the melee crowd. The courtyard instantly turned into a black ocean, madly devouring the surrounding lives.

Voldemort was very angry! Even an ordinary person would be furious if his lair was robbed, let alone the Dark Lord who was famous throughout the universe and shook the world.

When Voldemort was rampant, Louis had not yet met Jessica, and Rosier had not yet been changed to Drizzt. Now Voldemort is being ridden over by Ada, how can the Dark Lord not be angry about this.

Even though the spies planted in the Ministry were eliminated one after another, how could Voldemort not see the clues in the Ministry's actions?
The changes in the Ministry of Magic were not in line with Dumbledore's style, so the only person who had the courage to attack Malfoy Manor was Ada. If Ada was excluded, no one else would be so bold.

The burning fierce fire surged like a black sea. The people who had been fighting fiercely in the courtyard immediately ran away and waved their wands frequently to avoid being touched by the fierce fire. No one wanted to be cremated while they were still alive, or to be cremated without even ashes left.

Tonight, the Ministry of Magic's sneak attack on Malfoy Manor was well-planned, and with a certain advantage in numbers, they were able to overwhelm Voldemort's followers. Not only did they break into the manor, they also found Ollivander, who had been imprisoned for a long time, in the dungeon.

When Ollivander was found, the wand-maker was covered in scars, having obviously suffered inhumane abuse.

The Death Eaters are all loyal servants of Voldemort and have been trained by the Dark Lord. Not all of them are proficient in dark magic, but they do have many advantages in duels, and the members of the action team have suffered a lot at their hands.

If Ada had not taken advantage of her strength to bully the weak and acted as an arrow to pierce the Death Eaters' defense, and if Voldemort, who could have fought against Ada, had not arrived yet, the battle tonight would not have been so one-sided.

Many of the Ministry of Magic's shortcomings were exposed tonight, and Ada needs to summarize them one by one after returning in order to prepare for bigger battles in the future.

In the bedroom where the portraits were arguing, Lucius's expression became even more painful. As a Death Eater, he knew very well the power of the black flame. After tonight, the Malfoy ancestral home would become a barren land.

Ada didn't want to continue to entangle with the couple. She pointed her wand at the exquisite teacup on the table and whispered, "Mentos."

Under the effect of magic, the teacup trembled for a while, emitting a strange blue light, and then gradually stopped. The exquisite teacup had become a door key leading to the interrogation room where Draco Malfoy was imprisoned.

"If you want to see your son, just touch the teacup. I think you should know how to use the portkey." Ada said quickly, "Of course, you can also choose to continue to be loyal to Voldemort. I will kindly reunite your family of three."

After saying that, Ada hurried out. She still had to stop Voldemort. If the task force she brought tonight was wiped out, the Ministry of Magic could announce its disbandment tomorrow morning.

Having lost their trustworthy "elite" and in a crisis situation with a powerful enemy at the doorstep, the Ministry of Magic is in trouble!
The Malfoys looked at each other, and before Lucius could make a decision, Narcissa took her husband's hand and used the door key without hesitation. The couple disappeared in an instant, along with the exquisite teacup. And Ada had just walked out of the bedroom door.

There were no more people fighting in the main building of the manor, as everyone was avoiding the attack of Fiendfyre. The same was true in the courtyard, where the Ministry of Magic's action team and the Death Eaters separated and resisted Fiendfyre on their own.

At this time, the difference between the two groups became apparent. Although both were avoiding the fierce fire and retreating, the two groups were completely different.

Voldemort's followers were in disarray. The dark wizards who had come here because of his fame were terrified and fled without paying attention to the rest of the world. The Death Eaters were not in a panic, for they were not afraid of the raging Fiendfyre; they were afraid of the punishment from Voldemort.

The Ministry of Magic's action team was also evacuating the manor. Although some people were fleeing, most of them were still orderly. Under the leadership of Mr. Weasley and others, they huddled together to resist the Fiendfyre together.

The fire grew more and more fierce, and soon surrounded all the people in the Ministry of Magic. It seemed only a matter of time before they were burned to death.

Arthur Weasley, Rufus Scrimgeour and others plunged their wands into the ground and shouted, "All Curses End!"

An orange-yellow light curtain appeared, blocking the Fiendfyre that was coming at them like a wave. The rest of the Ministry of Magic followed suit, and the light curtains suddenly connected into one, blocking the black Fiendfyre.

However, this is only temporary after all. The Death Eaters who did not escape will not allow them to evacuate the manor, and Voldemort, who created the Fiendfyre, will not allow them to leave.

There was inevitably a look of despair on the faces of the action team members; they had forgotten one person.

Some people forgot about Ada's existence, but fortunately Ada did not forget them. After sending the Malfoys away, Ada rushed to the courtyard to stop Voldemort from slaughtering the Ministry of Magic. Ada first flashed out of the main building, then took off and turned into a black mist, bypassing the flames and flying towards everyone.

When Ada landed, she did not use All Curses, but instead faced the Death Eaters who were trying to pursue her, buying more time for the retreating team members to evacuate.

After forcing back the Death Eaters who were surrounding them, Ada turned around and pointed her wand at the connected black Fiendfyre. An orange light lit up from the tip of her wand, and a gap was blown open in the blazing Fiendfyre. No matter how the Fiendfyre rolled, the gap could not be filled.

"Retreat!" Ada shouted loudly, holding up her wand.

Before he finished speaking, the Ministry of Magic's action team had already begun to evacuate. Faced with the hope of survival, these people began to become confused and scrambled to run outside.

The good news is that not everyone is so afraid of death, but some people choose to hold off, or help maintain the gap, or resist the interference of the Death Eaters.

Voldemort didn't care how many people the task force could evacuate. His scarlet eyes were already fixed on Ada. He could no longer tolerate Ada. This young girl made the Dark Lord lose face and also made him feel pressured.

Different from the pressure Dumbledore brought to Voldemort, Voldemort had never defeated him in a 1v1 fight from the beginning. But Dumbledore was too old, and his threat would gradually decrease with age.

There is nothing that can be done about it. No one can live forever and stay at the peak of their magical powers their entire life and destroy anyone they see.

The reborn Voldemort felt very clearly that Dumbledore's strength was not as good as before, and his suppression on him was not as strong as before.

But Ada is different, she is still young, very young. At Ada's age, she can even call Voldemort grandpa.

At this age and with such talent, unless there are any major accidents, her performance will improve every day. This is what Voldemort is most worried about.

One is old and fading, while the other is rising like the sun in the east, shining brightly. Facing Dumbledore and Ada at the same time, even a proud Voldemort would feel overwhelmed.

Voldemort wanted to make a breakthrough. As long as he made a little more progress, the situation between him and Dumbledore would be reversed, and he could also destroy Ada, who was steadily heading towards the peak, in advance.

The legendary Elder Wand just met Voldemort's needs, and Garrick Ollivander didn't get it for nothing.

The invincible Elder Wand, as long as Voldemort has the Elder Wand in his hand, he will be even more powerful. But Voldemort didn't know at this time that the Elder Wand he was thinking about was in Dumbledore's hands.

Malfoy Manor tonight is full of coincidences. Perhaps it is the Malfoy family's fate to be visited by two evil stars, Voldemort and Ada.

Draco Malfoy's actions happened to be discovered by Katie; the quarrel between Katie and Linnie happened to tear the package of the necklace; Katie happened to be Ada's good friend, and Ada happened to remember the opal necklace, and Draco Malfoy thus surfaced.

It was just a coincidence that Ada had a conversation with Draco. Even if she didn't make Draco repent, at least she gave him the possibility of another choice, which led to the raid on Malfoy Manor tonight.

At Malfoy Manor, Voldemort learned many secrets about wands from Ollivander through torture.

The reason why Voldemort was not at the manor tonight and came back so late, causing the Death Eaters to lack top combat power, was because he traveled across the ocean to meet Gregorovitch. Or to kidnap Gregorovitch.

It was fate and time. The destruction of Malfoy Manor was perhaps destined since the generation of Abraxas Malfoy.
