Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 449 Scorched Earth

In front of Riddle's house, Voldemort and Nagini disappeared at the same time, and Ada's heart that was hanging in her throat finally fell back to her chest safely.

Repeatedly entering and exiting the gate of hell, jumping left and right under the eyes of the God of Death, this night can be described as thrilling.

At this moment, the danger was lifted, Voldemort was far away, and Ada breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Ada sat down on the ground, gently beating her legs, staring blankly at the flickering firelight down the hillside.

Finally, the fierce fire that reached the sky was extinguished, the tall yew trees and the chapel were all reduced to nothing, and the entire cemetery was reduced to scorched earth.

Ada stood up from the ground and walked towards the scorched earth under the hillside. Ada's legs were a little weak, and her steps seemed a little sloppy.

At the foot of the hillside, Ada saw Dumbledore who came very late but not too late, saw Sirius who had escaped, and saw the surprised Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge and several Auror.

And Vida and Lola. There wasn't much worry on Vida's face, but she, who had always been strong, agreed to Laura supporting her tonight. This simple change can show that Vader's mood is not calm at the moment.

Ada called out softly from behind everyone, and Vader immediately turned around with great agility. Hearing his granddaughter's voice, Vida immediately threw away Laura, took three steps and two steps, and rushed directly in front of Ada.

Vida's eyes were full of concern. She held Ada's cheeks with both hands, then took Ada's hand and checked Ada up and down.

After confirming that his granddaughter was fine, Vida hugged Ada in his arms and couldn't stop blaming her with worry. As if words were not enough to express his emotions, Vida pinched Ada's arm twice.

Deep love and deep responsibility, these two expressions of love from Vader made Ada scream.

Fortunately, Lola is still sensible and saves Ada from Vader's "claws". Vida also realized that his hands were stronger, so he rubbed it twice symbolically.

At this time, Dumbledore and Sirius also came over, with concern and apology on their faces.

The sky-high flames in the cemetery could be seen in the town of Great Hangleton. When Sirius saw the flames, his heart dropped, and he felt a strong sense of guilt. He felt that it was all his incompetence that caused Ai's death. Da's death.

This guilt didn't matter, the distracted Sirius was almost killed by the Death Eaters who were chasing him. If Dumbledore hadn't arrived in time, Sirius might have been hard-on by now.

In fact, Sirius didn't have to feel guilty, because leaving the cemetery was the right decision. This is not a sign of fear of death or a coward's desertion. This is a difficult and correct decision.

If Sirius chose to stay in the cemetery, it would seem very loyal and heroic, but it would be the stupidest behavior.

Instead of thanking Sirius for his generosity, Ada would stay as far away from him as possible because Vader wouldn't let Ada play with fools.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, it's not scary. What's scary is that your teammates are as stupid as pigs.

Sirius's personal strength is very good, but he has to compare with others. Compared with people like Voldemort and Ada, Mr. Black is really not good enough.

If they were forced to stay and fight with Voldemort, he and Ada would only die faster. On the surface it was two against one, but as long as Voldemort targeted the soft persimmon and attacked Sirius's kidney reflex area, sooner or later one of Sirius or Ada would be dragged to death.

Not to mention that one plus one is greater than two, even two cannot be achieved.

Furthermore, if you don’t follow martial ethics and choose to beat him up, are those Death Eaters kneeling as VIPs? At that time, it will become Voldemort and his henchmen beating up Ada and Sirius, and then the two of them will fight GG amidst the laughter of the Death Eaters and go to the underworld hand in hand.

After all, Sirius and Ada, one's surname is Black, and the other's surname is Drizzt. Their surname is not Uchiha, let alone One to Seven. Even if one can defeat seven, does this "seven" include Voldemort?

Moreover, Sirius also took several Death Eaters with him when he left the cemetery. Only Crabbe, Goyle and Foley were left in the cemetery, which greatly reduced the pressure Ada had to face.

Crabbe and Goyle were able to join the Death Eater organization entirely because they were two "noble" pure bloods and had nothing to do with their abilities. As for welfare, he can ignore it, he has a bad mind.

If a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old is going to challenge someone in a one-on-one fight, Voldemort might as well stop messing around and go home to nurse the child!

Facts have also proved that Sirius's choice was not a problem. His departure allowed Ada to let go and exert her full strength without worrying about accidentally injuring her teammates.

Ada has an obvious rabbit trait, which is the phobia of lack of firepower. Compared to spells such as the Death Curse and the Gift of Liberation, which can instantly kill a single target, Ada prefers to set fire, in order to have a large range and high damage.

And the most important point is that Sirius is the key tonight. He is responsible for providing Dumbledore with a landing site and coordinates so that the principal can descend from the sky.

If Dumbledore hadn't arrived at the last moment, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to retreat directly on the hillside just now, and it's really uncertain what the outcome would be.

Therefore, Sirius had no need to feel guilty at all. He made the right decision and everything tonight was not his fault.

Whose fault is that? Who caused tonight's loss?

No need to ask, of course it’s Dumbledore! It's all Dumbledore's fault. It was him who came up with the overall plan and failed to take care of little Barty who stayed at school.

Ada hugged Sirius. After tonight, the two of them had a lifelong friendship. Sirius scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't know what to say, but Ada patted him on the shoulder very manly.

Then, Ada looked at the "culprit" Dumbledore. She just wanted to say one thing to Dumbledore at the moment: More money!

However, before Ada could say to Dumbledore, "It's hard for me to help you with your money," the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, jumped out and showed his true clown character.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on tonight!" Fudge shouted, pointing to the scorched earth. "The fire can be seen for miles. Albus, what the hell are you doing?"

Only then did everyone remember Fudge's existence, and that Fudge was the nominal number one brother in the British wizarding world. Everyone looked at Fudge, and saw Mr. Minister holding his waist with both hands, a look of despair on his face.

"Connelly, as I told you at school, Barty Crouch is dead, and his son Barty Jr. escaped from Azkaban." Dumbledore said patiently, "In the With Barty's help, Voldemort is back."

Hearing Voldemort's name, Fudge and the Auror he brought trembled. This name gave them so much fear that they have not forgotten it to this day.

"Absurd!" Fudge waved his arms impatiently, as if to cover up his embarrassment. His movements were very wide. Fudge continued: "Except for this fire, I didn't see anyone tonight. And now you're telling me that mysteriously... that he's back?"

What Mr. Minister said was true. He did not see a single Death Eater tonight.

After receiving the signal transmitted by Sirius using magic props, Dumbledore hurried over. The Death Eaters who were chasing Sirius disapparated collectively the moment they saw Dumbledore, without waiting for a second.

Fudge and his Aurors came after that, using the door key made by Dumbledore. When they arrived here, the Death Eaters had long since disappeared, and they only saw the blazing fire in the cemetery.

By the time Fudge ran to the cemetery with the Aurors, Voldemort had already appeared at Riddle House on the hillside. He didn't even see a hair on Voldemort's body.

No, Ada didn't see a single hair of Voldemort's. The reborn Dark Lord not only had no nose, but also no hair.

Fudge didn't see anything, and he already had a grudge against Dumbledore, so naturally he wouldn't believe the lies about Voldemort returning tonight.

Empty words, unless Dumbledore can produce evidence...
