Hogwarts Emerald

What is Draco Malfoy's purpose?

This was something that neither Arthur Weasley nor Ada had thought of yet, but Dumbledore knew it well. Malfoy's target was Dumbledore himself, and he was following Voldemort's orders to assassinate Dumbledore.

This is Voldemort's reward and punishment for the Malfoy family.

Because Lucius Malfoy not only lost Voldemort's diary from his student days, but also messed up his plan to seize the Prophecy Ball.

If Ada is petty, then Voldemort is petty. From the moment he was born, there were no words like forgiveness and forgiveness in Voldemort's life. It was Voldemort's greatest kindness not to directly kill the Malfoy family in Avatar.

After Hogwarts started, Draco Malfoy began his own plan to assassinate Dumbledore. Dumbledore, who knew Malfoy's mission, was also watching him secretly, hoping that he would soon find his way back.

Just like with Benedick Foley, Dumbledore knew the other party's conspiracy, but insisted on hoping that the other party would change his mind. On the one hand, it felt that Draco Malfoy could help, but on the other hand, it was also to take advantage of the situation.

But Master Malfoy seems to be a bastard who is determined to prove himself and regain the glory of the Malfoy family. As a result, Master Malfoy had a brain attack and chose Katie Bell when transporting the opal necklace, which attracted Ada's attention.

If Ada hadn't intervened, Malfoy could still have stayed in school and continued his plans, or he could have turned around. But after attracting Ada's attention, Master Malfoy's school life means the end.

Ada has never been a teacher and is not willing to teach and educate people, so she will not forgive Malfoy like Dumbledore, guide Malfoy onto the right path, and give Malfoy a chance to start over.

After the incident, Dumbledore naturally knew that Ada would find Malfoy sooner or later. Things like the opal necklace were so eye-catching that its origin could easily be traced.

The students at Hogwarts were seriously injured. If the Ministry of Magic insisted on asking, Dumbledore, even as the headmaster, would have no reason to stop it.

It can be said that from the moment Draco Malfoy chose Katie, he was destined to fall into Ada's hands. Unless Ada is indifferent to Katie's life and death, but how is that possible?

The reason why Dumbledore was waiting outside the school gate was just to try his best. If Ada is willing to listen to his persuasion, everything will be happy. If not, Dumbledore will have to adjust his plan.

After seeing so many people coming all at once, Dumbledore clearly realized that he could no longer protect Draco Malfoy, and there was no need to do so any longer.

Malfoy has been exposed to public view, and his secret mission can no longer continue. When the secret mission is no longer secret, Malfoy loses his due value.

When a chess piece loses its own value and meaning, it will no longer be important and will become an abandoned piece.

This is the cruelty of the world, survival of the fittest, and everything must follow this principle.

Dumbledore did not stop Ada anymore. He was not a mother-in-law person, but he did not let Ada and others enter the school. Dumbledore handed Malfoy over to the "AWOL" Aurors, who took him back to the Ministry of Magic.

This is also to prevent Ada from lynching Malfoy on impulse.

While trying to clear Ada's name, Dumbledore didn't want to see Ada get involved in any more wrongdoing. Although Draco Malfoy has become a Death Eater, he is still a student at the end of the day.

Ada returned empty-handed and hurried back to the Ministry of Magic. She wanted to interrogate Draco Malfoy personally. The others also dispersed. Their purpose of coming to Hogwarts had been achieved. It would be great if they could avoid conflict with their alma mater.

…

There were only two people in the narrow, cramped interrogation room of the Ministry of Magic, a guard, and Draco Malfoy, who was sent to the Ministry.

Malfoy's hawthorn wand had been confiscated, as was customary, and it was impossible for a suspect like him to continue to possess it. However, the Ministry did not put shackles or chains on Malfoy, probably because he had not graduated from Hogwarts yet.

People from the Legal Enforcement Department had just briefly interrogated Malfoy. Malfoy said nothing and insisted that he had done nothing and had nothing to do with Katie Bell being cursed.

While being questioned, Draco Malfoy kept looking out the door, whether waiting for his father to come to his rescue or someone else. If Lucius could save him, he would have done so on the way to London, why wait until now.

After an unknown amount of time, the guard guarding Malfoy was called out by his colleagues, and Malfoy was the only one left in the interrogation room.

Draco Malfoy stretched out his hands, which were shaking uncontrollably. Although Malfoy has been arrogant these years, he really doesn't have the guts to hurt other people, not to mention that Katie Bell almost died.

If Katie had touched the opal necklace for a longer time, or if the area of ​​contact had been larger, Draco Malfoy would be the murderer at this moment!

The door lock clicked softly, and the closed door was opened.

Draco Malfoy immediately retracted his hands and looked up. The person who walked in was Ada who was hurriedly returning to the Ministry of Magic.

Ada looked calm and did not act impulsively because Malfoy hurt Katie. He neither took out his magic wand to dig out the bones, nor prepared any punishments such as pinching his thumb.

"Long time no see, you're still so useless, Draco."

Pulling out the chair opposite Malfoy, Ada sat down on her own. She spoke as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Ada had been observing Malfoy from the moment she entered. His light blond hair was a little messy, and his pale face looked even more haggard. It was obvious that the task assigned to him by Voldemort put him under great pressure.

Come to think of it, that's Albus Dumbledore, not someone on the roadside. Does that mean he can be assassinated? What's more, Draco Malfoy is only in the sixth year and has never had any friendship with Dumbledore, so the task is even more difficult.

If you want to say that Ada and Harry still have this possibility, the possibility of Malfoy is infinitely close to zero. Furthermore, Dumbledore knew Malfoy's intentions very well. If Malfoy could succeed, it can only be said that Dumbledore gave him a chance.

When Ada sat down, she strangely found that Malfoy's face not only had a look of horror and fear, but also a feeling of relief. It was as if Malfoy had been walking for a long time and could finally stop and rest.

Ada was a little suspicious, wondering what kind of trick Malfoy was playing.

"During the summer vacation, I learned Occlumency." Draco Malfoy suddenly said, "But it shouldn't be of use to you, right?"

Indeed, Occlumency can indeed resist the invasion of Legilimency to a certain extent, but it also depends on the attainments of both parties.

Just like Ada and Malfoy, their magical attainments are completely different. Malfoy's brain is defenseless to Ada. Just like her own backyard, Ada can come and go when she wants.

"There is no need to use Legilimency on me. I can tell you everything I know." Malfoy continued, "I have only one request. As long as you agree, I will tell you everything."

In the interrogation just now, Malfoy didn't say a word, but when facing Ada, he took the initiative to talk about the conditions.

Ada leaned back in her chair, putting some distance between her and Malfoy. Draco Malfoy, the dandy and loser in his eyes, seemed to have grown a lot in the summer of 1996.

Interesting, very interesting.
