The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 632 Cooperation
Everyone at the wooden table looked at Alastor Moody, waiting for him to speak. Moody was not only an Auror with outstanding achievements, his strength was also obvious to all. He could be said to be the second most important person in the Order of the Phoenix.

"Albus, Albus has left us." He said, and the people around the table gradually accepted this cruel fact.

Moody continued, "But we cannot stop fighting the Dark Lord. We need to elect a new leader as soon as possible to deal with the next attack by the Death Eaters."

After that, the blue magic eye quickly swept through everyone, and finally stopped at Ada, as if trying to carefully distinguish Ada's facial expression. Moody knew Ada's importance, but he was not sure about her intentions. Moody was a little hesitant about handing the Phoenix Social to her.

For the current Order of the Phoenix, the first thing to do is to elect a person in charge to coordinate the actions of the members.

The eldest brother is gone, and the second brother takes over. This normal operation also applies to the Order of the Phoenix, but today there is Ada, a wizard who is not much different from Dumbledore, and her actions will affect today's election.

The people at the long table did not start the discussion right away. Everyone expressed their own opinions and looked at Ada at the same time. They really wanted to know why she appeared in Grimmauld Place today.

Interestingly, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​even more grand than the Ministry of Magic. Arthur Weasley, the Minister of Magic, is only one of the many members, and the elite Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt is also a member, while the big boss behind the Ministry of Magic can only be an observer...

Seeing everyone looking at her, Ada sat up straight and said, "I came here today only because Professor Dumbledore wanted me to come when he was alive. I made a bet with him, winning and losing half each."

Ada spread her hands. She was not very keen on taking over the Order of the Phoenix. This society had too many marks of Dumbledore on it, and no one could replace Albus Dumbledore.

She also hoped that the Order of the Phoenix would put aside their prejudices and choose to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. The two groups would work together to capture the Death Eaters as soon as possible and leave Voldemort alone.

Isolated and helpless, one Q reduces one thousand health points, uh... I'm getting off topic.

The complicated relationship between Dumbledore and Ada as a teacher and student has always been a subject of speculation among the Order of the Phoenix. When the Order of the Phoenix reconvened, Dumbledore was quite willing to appoint Ada as his successor, and Ada's performance also gave everyone great expectations.

But then Ada ran away, and Dumbledore never mentioned the matter again. After that, the two of them confronted each other several times, and the fights were so fierce, like a collision between Mars and the Earth.

Whenever anyone asked, Dumbledore would just say that he believed in Ada.

Dumbledore trusted Snape wrongly, which led to his own death. What about Ada, who was also trusted? If Dumbledore trusted the wrong person again, the Order of the Phoenix would probably say goodbye to this world.

"I believe in Ada!"

The first person to say this was neither Professor McGonagall nor Mr. Weasley. To avoid suspicion, neither of them spoke. Instead, it was Tonks, whose hair had turned pink again, who was the first to express her attitude.

"Think about it, Kingsley and I both work at the Ministry, what's wrong with us?" Tonks said excitedly. "Nothing has ever happened to us. What do you think, Kingsley?"

Kingsley Shacklebolt's deep, slow voice sounded, and he said, "Look, if Miss Drizzt really wanted to harm the Order of the Phoenix, I would have been dead long ago."

As he spoke, Kingsley looked at Ada, his eyes full of resentment.

Unlike the new Auror Tonks, the elite Auror Kingsley was once marginalized in the Ministry and was not included in many operations. If other Aurors were not really suitable, the important task of protecting the Muggle Prime Minister would not be given to Kingsley.

Embarrassing, that doesn't exist!
Ada looked back at Kingsley and said with her eyes: If you hadn't tipped off, I would have killed that wimp Fudge on the day the manor was abandoned!
"I agree with what they both say." Lupin also began to express his opinion, "Don't forget the Department of Mysteries. If it weren't for the help of Ada and her friends, we might not have been able to escape unscathed." That night, not many people from the Order of the Phoenix rushed to rescue Harry. If it weren't for the help of Sergei, Hartmann and others, someone might have really lost his life.

After speaking, Lupin looked at Sirius, wanting his good brother to say something. Sirius and Ada were equally close, and they had been through life and death together.

"Although, I almost died at the hands of this girl," Sirius spoke slowly, as if he was considering what to say, "but I still want to believe her. She saved me twice."

The first time was at school, when Sirius was still a fugitive from Azkaban, and Ada cured him of his serious injuries and coma with strong medicine. The second time was in the cemetery, when Ada blocked the killing curse that Voldemort had cast on him.

With these four people at the forefront, the atmosphere of the meeting finally became lively and no longer dull.

For example, Dedalus Digger, he actually knew Ada when she was the ushers at the Leaky Cauldron.

The twins also started to make trouble. The two brothers said loudly that they also trusted Ada because Ada was their largest shareholder.

Fred and George played a trick and immediately got Mr. Weasley's cold stare, but they were not afraid at all. In the Weasley family, there were only one and a half people who could scare the twins, one was their mother, Mrs. Weasley, and the other half was the honest man Charlie.

"No one should know the importance of Ada better than you, Alastor." Professor McGonagall, who had been silent, said. She trusted Ada as much as she trusted Dumbledore.

Looking at the entire wizarding world, there are people who can fight Voldemort one-on-one, but the only one who can fight him to a draw or even injure him is Ada.

Of course, the Order of the Phoenix has Harry, the Noble Phantasm of Voldemort, who is also Dumbledore's "most precious hope". But if Voldemort is unwilling to give up and no longer obsessed with Harry, then the Noble Phantasm of Voldemort will not work.

Alastor Moody was once recognized as the best Auror. He was so powerful that he filled half of the cells in Azkaban. Although his strength has declined now, his vision is still there. He knows that with Ada's support, the Order of the Phoenix can better fight Voldemort.

However, because he had too many enemies, Moody became suspicious and overly cautious as he aged. In Moody's eyes, there were few good people in the world, and he found it difficult to trust Ada, who was both good and evil, and he did not dare to hand over the Order of the Phoenix and Harry to Ada.

The blue magic eyes still stayed on Ada. Seeing that she was not angry because of his distrust, but instead pulled the twins' jackets and criticized their aesthetics, Moody felt that his suspicion seemed too unnecessary.

"Drizzt, what do you want us to do?" Moody asked, "Or rather, how do you plan to fulfill your bet with Albus?"

"It's simple. We cooperate." Ada said, "The current minister is Mr. Weasley. It will be cheaper for us to cooperate. We can help each other, share what we have, and fight against the Dark Lord together."

Ida didn't have the energy to take care of both the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix. Instead of trying to take care of both and then not taking care of either, it would be better to combine the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix into one and clench both fists.

The two families cooperated with each other, and with this combined punch, I believe that old Voldemort would not be beaten black and blue.

Alastor Moody nodded, his suspicion a little less.

Instead of relying on her magical powers to forcibly take over the Order of the Phoenix, Ada sought fair cooperation and each side got what it needed. In return, she won some favor from Moody.
