The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 678 Dumbledore Knows Everything

Whether it was Draco Malfoy or his successor Theodore Nott, their plan to assassinate Dumbledore was just a casual move by Voldemort, more to punish the Death Eaters who were not doing their job well.

Lucius Malfoy messed up the operation to seize the prophecy, making Voldemort's year-long plan go to waste; Theodore Nott was foolishly raided by the Aurors and imprisoned.

Letting their children carry out the plan to assassinate Dumbledore, a mission that would involve a high risk of death, was Voldemort's punishment for them and also a deterrent to the rest of the Death Eaters.

However, something unexpected happened to Voldemort. Theodore Nott's plan actually succeeded, and it was an unexpected success!

The Death Eaters successfully invaded Hogwarts and blocked Dumbledore, who had no wand, in the Astronomy Tower - even without Snape, Albus Dumbledore was doomed!
"What would you think if I told you that Dumbledore was not killed by your ridiculous plan, but that he died voluntarily?"

Ada couldn't stand Voldemort's smug look, so she decided to give him a blow.

As for the fact that Dumbledore would have died from the dark magic of the Horcrux even if he had not been killed by Snape, Ada would not have said such a thing. Even if Voldemort knew that Dumbledore was dying, Ada could have made excuses.

Why did Dumbledore wear Slytherin's ring and why was he seriously injured by dark magic? The reason was because of the Resurrection Stone embedded in the ring.

I just won’t admit it, even if you kill me, what can you do to me!

Voldemort's pale face suddenly turned gloomy, as if water could drip out of it, but Ada's attack did not end there.

"Every step you take is in Dumbledore's plan." Ada continued, "From the first time we met in the orphanage until today, you have never escaped Dumbledore's control, Tom."

Voldemort has always been arrogant and conceited, and he regards everyone in the world as a fool and a plaything in his hands, except Albus Dumbledore.

Finally, after going through untold hardships, Voldemort finally defeated Dumbledore and succeeded in killing him. Now, Voldemort has to tell a cruel truth - not only did he not defeat Dumbledore, but Dumbledore made him think he had won.

This blow was so great that it was like a bolt from the blue.

Fortunately, Voldemort's face was already pale, so no matter how heavy a blow he suffered, he would not turn pale.

"Don't believe it?" Ada said, "It doesn't matter. I can break it down and tell you bit by bit. When you were in the orphanage, Dumbledore knew that you had taken things from other children and ordered you to return them to them."

A smile as bright as spring blossomed on Ada's face.

She went on to say, "When you were in school, the professors were all fooled by your disguise. He was the only one who knew your true identity. When the Chamber of Secrets was opened, the professors at school and the Ministry of Magic believed your lies and determined that Rubeus Hagrid was the murderer of Myrtle... or him. Only Dumbledore did not believe your lies."

When talking about the secret room incident fifty years ago, we have to mention the then principal Armando Dippet. When mentioning Professor Dippet, Ada will think of Rita Skeeter's best-selling book "Armando Dippet: Master or Idiot".

Based on Skeeter's writing method and style, the content mentioned in this book is likely to be exaggeration and distortion of facts.

But when it comes to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, Armando Dippet has no excuse at all.

Ada didn't believe that Armando Dippet's brain had not been screwed, as he believed Voldemort's lies, and accepted his statements, regarding Hagrid as the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets and killed Myrtle.

Just looking at Hagrid's extraordinary stature, he doesn't look like the heir of Slytherin! Morfin Gaunt has only been away from Hogwarts for a few years, I forgot!
Besides, even if the investigation doesn’t reveal what kind of monster killed Myrtle, doesn’t anyone in the school or the Ministry of Magic know what level of dangerous creature the Acromantula is?
Or does it mean that the professors of Care of Magical Creatures at school and the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic are all just eating for free?

That’s ridiculous!
"Haha, what's the point of you talking about these past events? It can't change the fact that Dumbledore is dead, and you will follow him." Voldemort's voice was filled with a hint of anger.

Ada nodded and continued, "It's really too long ago, so let's talk about the recent events." "Dumbledore knows the cave where the Horcruxes are hidden. That's the cave where you threatened Dennis Bishop and Amy Benson. He knows that your mother was from the Gaunt family, and he also knows how you murdered your own ancestors and framed your uncle. He also knows how you killed Hepzibah Smith and how you tried to steal the Hufflepuff gold cup."

Voldemort shouted, "Albus Dumbledore is dead. My plan leads to his death!"

At this moment, Dumbledore's death seemed to be Voldemort's support, supporting him not to care about Ada's nonsense.

"Dumbledore knew you wanted to get the prophecy. After hearing the half-known prophecy, he also knew you would use Harry to help you get the prophecy sealed in the Department of Mysteries. Otherwise, why do you think Dumbledore came so quickly?"

Ada suddenly raised her voice, drowning out the roar of Voldemort.

She spoke quickly, "Dumbledore also knew about your ridiculous assassination plan. Malfoy and Nott's every move was under his nose. If he hadn't been willing to die, would you and the Death Eaters have been able to enter Hogwarts just because of Theodore Nott?"

Ada kept talking like a machine gun, not caring whether Dumbledore had really planned this or not. She only wanted to keep striking at Voldemort and destroy his complacency and pride.

"As soon as you captured Ollivander and imprisoned Gregorovitch, Dumbledore immediately knew that you were planning to take the Elder Wand. So, before he died, he gave the Elder Wand to me and would never let you get your hands on this legendary wand!"

Ada's mouth seemed to be rented, and she was still anxious, and her speaking speed was faster than Harry's Firebolt.

It was so fast that Voldemort didn't even have time to find the loopholes in her words, even though the loopholes were clearly there, even though the angry Dark Lord gradually calmed down.

The first female rapper in the British wizarding world, the label of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, aka the Emerald of Hogwarts! It really lives up to its reputation!
After talking so much in a row, Ada naturally needed to take a breath for a while, since she couldn't sing or dance.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ada kept silent, Voldemort began his verbal counterattack.

"No matter how you try to argue, Dumbledore died because of my plan. This is a fact that cannot be changed by sweet words."

Voldemort then asked, "And you, have accomplished nothing. You are just Dumbledore's puppet, a marionette in his hands. He is already dead, but you still cannot get rid of this pathetic puppet identity!"

Putting himself in other people's shoes, Voldemort thought that Ada should be the same kind of person as himself - she would never bow down to anyone, nor would she allow anyone to direct her actions.

I am the only one who is supreme in the world.

But Voldemort didn't know his opponent well enough. He didn't know Ada's past, nor did he understand how important Dumbledore was to her.

Moreover, Dumbledore's legacy plan had no problem in general direction, and it had indeed pushed Voldemort into a dead end. In that case, why did Ada overturn his plan and rack her brains to come up with a new one?

It's superfluous and a waste of effort.

Instead of wasting time coming up with new plans, Ada might as well take good care of her hair, or think about how to make Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes bigger and stronger.

More importantly, Dumbledore has left the chessboard, and Ada is the one holding the chess pieces. Whether to tinker with the plan, change the way the plan is executed, or even add or delete something from the plan, it can all be done according to Ada's wishes.

Shameless Ada looked at Voldemort calmly, with an indifferent and upbeat attitude. She was too lazy to even refute him.

When it comes to being irritating, Ada is a little bit annoying.
