Hogwarts Emerald

Ada has also thought about the situations mentioned by everyone in the Order of the Phoenix, and even thought about them more.

The Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, and even the recently established wizarding gathering area, these three places may become the venue for the decisive battle, and the initiative lies in Voldemort's hands.

However, if you can't figure out where Voldemort is hiding, and you want to have a decisive battle with him, you can only use this method to lure Voldemort out.

Leave the door open and let Voldemort pick a place he likes and take the initiative.

Although she gave up the initiative to attack, it didn't mean that Ada could only be forced to fight. There is a lot that needs to be done to check for deficiencies and fill them, especially to ensure smooth information transmission channels.

The purpose of luring the enemy deep is to catch a turtle in a urn, to kill Voldemort in one fell swoop and to annihilate all his Death Eaters and dark creatures, but not to take the initiative to show up.

If there are any mistakes in one's own defense, luring the enemy in will lead to a refusal and a welcome. Simply put, it will be in vain.

If that were the case, Dumbledore would probably be so angry that he would jump out of the graveyard and give Ada a brain-shattering blow.

Although there are many places to guard against, the most important ones are the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, not to mention the help of Snape's intelligence. With Snape's support, Ada became more confident in her defense work.

But about Snape, Ada didn't plan to tell anyone, and she wanted to keep this secret until the end of the war.

Feeling everyone's eager gazes, Ada retracted her thoughts and said, "I have made arrangements. I cannot say that they are foolproof, but I am very sure that I can figure out Voldemort's movements."

No matter where Voldemort chooses in the end, he will eventually gather a large number of people and prepare for battle. As long as Voldemort does this, Snape's eyes will inevitably be caught.

This is the benefit of having an undercover agent. You can understand the enemy's dynamics and deploy a targeted combat plan.

But Ada couldn't put all her treasure on Snape. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what might happen. What if something happens to Snape?

Either the undercover identity is discovered by Voldemort, or there is a problem with the message transmission path. Any situation may cause an accident, and Ada must be prepared to deal with accidents.

With Ada's response, everyone took a collective reassurance and felt much more at ease.

Immediately, everyone began to discuss how to resist the Death Eaters' attack, especially the slightly weak defense of Hogwarts.

Although Hogwarts has a lot of defensive magic left over thousands of years, and Dumbledore also strengthened the school's security measures while he was still alive, it ultimately failed to stop the Death Eaters from invading.

Nowadays, all the ancient secret passages leading to Hogwarts are blocked, as is the Twilight Cottage. There are Auror patrols arranged by the Ministry of Magic outside the school, but these defensive measures are far from enough.

The fortress was always breached from within, and was defended day and night, making it difficult to defend against domestic thieves.

With so many Slytherins in the school, there might be a few more people like Theodore Nott who betrayed Hogwarts to Voldemort.

"The thief sensing spell, the howling spell, the anti-intrusion spell..." Sirius suggested, "I mean these spells can be set up within the playground. Once someone tries to invade the school at night, these spells can alert us. "

Fred and George shook their heads together and said in unison: "The curfew at Hogwarts is just a decoration. Students will sneak out of the castle from time to time. You know this very well, Sirius."

"Not everyone is as dishonest as you two!" Mrs. Weasley appeared at the entrance to the living room, frowning angrily.

Even though the twins were now making a lot of money, Mrs. Weasley was still a bit bitter about the two dropping out of school.

If you just want to open a joke shop, you can't open it after you graduate from Hogwarts. You can't hold on for just a few days!

After being scolded by their mother, Fred and George immediately fell silent. They followed Fleur's previous example and shrank themselves up. It's just that Bill's body can block the view of Fleur, but Ada's small body can't block it, let alone two people.

Fred and George hid, but that was as good as not hiding.

Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley did not continue to criticize and educate the two of them, so the discussion was able to continue.

"Fred and George are right. What if a student sneaks out of the castle in the middle of the night and triggers the alarm?" Kingsley said, "Once or twice is fine, but once the number of times increases, our vigilance will no longer be There will be an avoidable decline.”

The whole thing is a Hogwarts version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", except that the wolves in the story are replaced by Death Eaters.

These students from Slytherin House are really troublesome.

Ada now particularly agrees with Sirius' joke. As long as all Slytherin students are imprisoned in the dungeon, the defense of Hogwarts can be immediately raised by several levels.

Every one counts, I would rather kill the wrong one than let him go.

In this way, the school's defense has been improved, but Hogwarts has also lost its meaning as a school.

Ada thought for a while and finally came up with a not too bad idea, an idea that many Muggles could think of.

She said: "The reason why Hogwarts' curfew cannot restrain students is that, firstly, there are too many interesting places in the castle that attract students; secondly, even if the curfew is violated, the school's punishments are not strong enough to deter students. to the students.”

"But they are students who have not left the school after all," Bill said with a serious expression. "We cannot treat them as harshly as we treat Death Eaters."

After hearing Bill's concern, the others nodded. There is no problem with the school's strict management of students, but if the punishment is too severe, it is overcorrecting and may be counterproductive.

Moreover, it is easy to be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions. Students who do not know the truth can easily be stirred up, which will in turn increase the internal problems of the school. There are also a group of ignorant parents outside the school. They just follow the wind and the public opinion will become unfavorable to Hogwarts.

Ada rubbed her temples. There was something wrong with being a decent person. She was restrained in everything she did and was not happy at all.

"We can be polite first and then be careful. We can clearly explain the punishment for violating school rules in advance, so that they can have a clear understanding of the rules." Ada said, "Make the rules clear and understand. If anyone violates the rules again - it will be embarrassing and will be severely punished." No loans, no appeasement.”

The idea Ada came up with was actually very simple. The idea came from her past dormitory life.

At the curfew time set by the school, the deans of each college closed the common rooms of each college, and no one was allowed in or out. After the lounge is closed, teachers will be arranged to check every dormitory and every student.

If there are students who evade bed checks, lock the door, and go outside late at night to violate the curfew, points will be deducted for individual confinement for the first time, and the entire dormitory for the second time.

If there is a third violation, the student's college will go to the dungeon.

Whether it is punitive measures or even punishment, the ultimate goal is to prevent those who violate school rules and prevent them from destroying the school's defensive measures. Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures.

"It's a little stricter, but as long as we explain the rules clearly, they won't be able to say anything," Mr. Weasley said. "At that time, school administrators could still punish students corporally!"

While Mr. Weasley was a student at Hogwarts, he began dating Mrs. Weasley. One night, the two of them went out for a walk as usual. As a result, Mr. Weasley was caught by the school administrator at the time, Apollyon Pringle, and was severely punished.

To this day, the scars from that punishment are still evident on Mr. Weasley.

"After I go back, I will talk to Professor McGonagall. She should support it." Sirius said, "I can finally put the Slytherin bastards in the dungeon!"

There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the living room.
