Hogwarts Emerald

As the sun set, Dumbledore and Ada left the small amusement park, with Ada still holding a large bag of bread in her hand.

These breads were what she planned to bring to the children, and there were still some little ones who liked them. Ada had grown up in an orphanage and knew how children got along, so she had to buy more bread.

In this way, those little brats can eat bread without being bullied by other children.

With their backs to the sunset, Dumbledore and Ada were walking and talking, but the scene between them looked particularly disharmonious. One is an old man with a white beard wearing a wizard's robe, and the other is a young girl in shorts and a T-shirt, which is very awkward.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, when did you find me?" Dumbledore asked, "When you decided to buy donuts?"

"No, I noticed it not long after I entered the store." Ada glanced at the principal's robe with disgust, "Your outfit is too conspicuous in Little Whinging."

There are only two wizards here, Ada and Harry, and they grew up in Muggle society. They will not walk around the streets in wizard robes.

At this time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road. When people saw the young and old pair of Dumbledore and Ada, they couldn't help but take a second look.

It's not because Ada is eye-catching, but because Dumbledore's dress is really weird, as if he came out of TV. For example, a certain Middle-earth world...

"Okay. Did you stay in the store for so long just to keep me dry?" Dumbledore asked, "But you thought it was not good to keep an old man like me dry, so you bought that sweet Make amends, right?"

Ada's expression became even more disgusting, and she said: "No, you are too pretentious. It took me so long just because I was spoiled for choice. The donuts were just a prank, but I didn't expect you to like them so much. I should have known that." I won’t buy it.”

Regarding this answer, Dumbledore was noncommittal. Some people are just hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

"Remember, the last time the two of us walked on the road like this was when we went to meet Newt." Dumbledore recalled, "You were much cuter and more obedient than you are now."

Ada, who was holding the bread bag, was not in the mood to listen to the principal reminiscing about the past. She said: "Professor, if you don't hurry up, I will be there. You don't want to be regarded as an old madman by Miss Nelson, do you?"

"That's why I said you are becoming less and less lovable." Dumbledore said helplessly, "Harry will go to the Ministry of Magic for trial on the 12th, and you will appear in court to defend him."

Ada suddenly stopped. She didn't believe her ears. She asked, "Me? Professor, are you mistaken? Are you afraid that I will have sex with that old boy Fudge in front of the court?"

Dumbledore also stopped and looked at Ada, his blue eyes full of satisfaction.

"You won't. Now you know your priorities and know when to do something. Just like this time when you were angry with me, you obviously had many places to go, and you could even run home, but you didn't. You chose Little Whinging. Why, because Harry is here."

"I'm not as good as you think. Don't put your hopes in me, you will be disappointed." Ada said calmly, "I'm just too lazy to cross the sea. It's not because Harry lives in Little Whinging."

The two of them walked back to the orphanage in silence.

After walking not far, Dumbledore asked: "You will appear in court on the 12th, right?"

"What if I accidentally send Harry to jail?" Ada asked, "I'm not familiar with those provisions and regulations, so it's better for you to come forward yourself. I think those people will still sell you a For the sake of face, people won’t leave so quickly.”

Ada's refusal was not because she was timid and did not dare to try, but because she was discussing the matter. Ada is not a professional, she is not familiar with the legal provisions of the magical world, and it is very likely that she will be of help when defending.

Even if you can't help, it's better to just watch than to do nothing! The name Ada is quite nice, so forget about Yida or something like that.

Moreover, the Ministry of Magic's trial of Harry's disciplinary violation this time was not so much about upholding laws and regulations as it was about avenging private grudges and using public weapons for private purposes. This was a collision between Fudge and Dumbledore, and he wanted to use this matter to slap him in the face and further weaken his influence in the magical world.

You see, Albus Dumbledore can't even protect the most important Harry Potter, how can he protect you who are insignificant?

Come on, magic is power, and the powerful Ministry of Magic welcomes you to abandon darkness and turn to light at any time!

"Life is about trying again and again, constantly facing new challenges, and you can't back down or stop. If you don't try, how can you be sure that you can't do it?" Dumbledore said, and he always had a lot of truths. It's piled up, just like wholesale.

Dumbledore continued: "Besides, if I wasn't sure of victory, why would I use Harry to practice with you. Do you remember Amelia Bones?"

Ada was still very impressed by this strong woman with square chin and short hair. She was one of the few officials from the Ministry of Magic who left a good impression on Ada.

Reminiscent of the scene when Dumbledore first mentioned the Order of the Phoenix, Ada felt like she understood something. Is it possible that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not only a non-governmental organization, but also an opposition party in the wizarding world?

"No way! Amelia Bones, the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, isn't she also a member of the Order of the Phoenix?" Ada asked uncertainly.

When Dumbledore first mentioned the Order of the Phoenix, the headmaster mentioned the name of Edgar Bones. This outstanding wizard is the original member of the Order of the Phoenix, and can also be said to be one of the founders, and he happens to be Amelia Bones' brother.

If Ms. Bones was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, she would naturally help Harry get away with it. What's more, Harry was not guilty in the first place, but it was the Ministry of Magic and Fudge who imposed the crime.

"Of course not." Dumbledore said, "I think you are thinking about something strange."

Ada lowered her head and remained silent. She admitted that she was a little fanciful.

How could Amelia Bones, the person who might become the next Minister of Magic, be willing to take a back seat to others!

If you don't believe it, go and see Fudge. He was very respectful to Dumbledore before and always asked Dumbledore's opinion on everything. Looking at it now, Fudge wished that Dumbledore would just go over to him.

Dumbledore explained: "Amelia is a very talented wizard and a very far-sighted person. Such a person will not be deceived by Fudge's peace theory. She knows very well that darkness is around her. In Harbin "She will be our support when Leigh goes to trial because she knows that if Fudge is left alone, things will only get worse."

Ada nodded and said: "Okay, I will rush to the Ministry of Magic that day. But I still don't understand, why do you want me to come forward? Obviously it will be better if you go in person."

The two stopped at the same time. They could already see the door of the orphanage, but they hadn't finished speaking yet.

Dumbledore said: "I have my reasons. I want to reduce my contact with Harry as much as possible. This is a kind of protection for him, and it is also a protection for us."

Reducing contact with Harry... is to protect both parties... What the hell? Shouldn't Harry be tied to his belt at this time? I don't understand, I don't understand what Dumbledore is thinking at all.

If I can't figure out the joints here tonight, Ada probably won't have to sleep, and she won't be able to sleep.

Dumbledore continued: "It's too late today. I will explain it to you in detail when I get back to school. In addition, I have something else to show you when I get back to school."

There was no other way, so Ada could only walk back to the orphanage full of doubts.

It was only a short journey, but she walked for a long time. At this moment, how much Ada hopes that the principal can show kindness, stop her, and help her solve her doubts!

And what about Dumbledore?

He stood there, watching Ada turn around with a smile. Whenever Ada looked back, he would take the trouble to wave goodbye, like the windshield wiper on a Muggle car.

In fact, Dumbledore not only didn't make it clear why he wanted to avoid Harry, he even told only half of the reason why he asked Ada to come forward.

No matter how cunning the young fox is, it cannot defeat the old hunter. Still too tender.
