The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 453 Whitewashing the Peace
On the side of Little Hangleton Village, Dumbledore brought Sirius to discuss with Fudge in the tavern in the village, while Vader returned to Hogwarts with Lola and Ida on the other side.

In the dead of night, the three of them appeared on the streets of Hogsmeade, walked along the main road for a while, and after turning a few turns, they saw the lonely Twilight Cabin.

Pushing the door open, before the three of Vader could stand still, the twins rushed to the hall in a hurry. They heard the sound of the door opening.Behind the twins came a worried-looking Mrs Weasley, Professor Lupine, and Harry.

After Dumbledore stopped the game, the students returned to their common rooms, where the professors looked after them.Harry, dressed as Sirius, went to the Twilight Cabin accompanied by Mrs. Weasley, and Professor Lupine was responsible for protecting him.

The twins each gave Ada a big hug to celebrate her safe return. Mrs. Weasley went to the kitchen to prepare some food for the three who had just returned.

Back in the living room, Ada didn't eat, but kept replenishing herself with the water bottle. She felt that she was about to dry up.

After drinking three jugs of ice water, Ada told everyone about the cemetery tonight.Harry clenched his fists so hard his knuckles turned white when he heard Voldemort was back.

After hearing Ada's narration, Professor Lupine comforted softly: "Ada, you are not responsible for what happened tonight. We were too careless. We ignored a detail, which led to tonight's defeat."

In the cemetery, Ada and Sirius acted separately, so Sirius didn't know the specific situation on her side.But Ada still needs to explain, because Sirius was captured by this little Barty and Foley.

Ada's explanation was that she dodged the spell, but because she was too close to dodge, she was stunned by the impact of the spell hitting the tombstone.

As for why little Barty let her go, how could she know what little Barty was thinking, maybe he was careless?
Ada's explanation sounds reasonable at first glance, but it is far-fetched when you think about it carefully.But no matter whether it is everyone present here or the two people who stayed in Little Hangleton Village, no one will hold on to this matter, and people's hearts are long.

"Thank you, Professor Lupine." Ada said, she was indeed a little annoyed, annoyed at her own carelessness and imprudence.

"Call me Remus, or Lupine, I'm not your teacher now." Lupine said, "Don't think about anything tonight, just rest. We still have a long way to go."

In the middle of the night, there was an indelible darkness outside the window. Ada lay sideways on the soft and comfortable bed, her eyes wide open.

She was exhausted, but she couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see Voldemort's pale snake face, and she fell asleep instantly.It's not that I'm afraid of Voldemort, but I'm a little apprehensive about the coming war.

War is always cold and cruel, there is no winner, only some people survived, accompanied by many nightmares.

When the sky gradually turned from dark blue to white, Ada fell into a deep sleep.This sleep lasted until the evening, if it wasn't for the unbearable hunger in her stomach, she would probably be able to sleep for a long time.

After staring blankly for a while, the gloomy sky outside the window made Ada confused for a moment, unable to tell the time.She couldn't tell what day it was, and she didn't know whether it was day or night.

When Ada's brain was also out of the sleep state, she sat on the bed and yelled twice, but there was no response from the cabin, and it seemed that everyone was away.

After getting up and washing up briefly, Ada wandered into the kitchen in her pajamas, looking for food.But she found no food except a few leftover slices of toast.

Just as Ida was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, choking on a slice of bread, Fred and George returned to the cabin, and saw Ida with disheveled hair at a glance.

Fighting for food, Fred snatched the dry slice of bread from Ida's hand, and threw a bag of finger biscuits to her as if by magic.This finger cake looks like it was produced in the Hogwarts kitchen.

George took out a copy of the "Daily Prophet" from the pocket of his robe, shook the newspaper, and then pointed to the contents for Ada to read.

The newspaper's report on the Triwizard Tournament was only a few lines, to the effect that the game ended successfully and Ada won the trophy.There is no mention of the Portkey at the center of the maze, or Barty Crouch Jr. pretending to be Moody and sneaking into Hogwarts.

If it wasn't for Fleur and Krum's withdrawal midway through the third event, Ida probably wouldn't have won the championship, although she did win the trophy.

George turned the paper over again, and the other page was about the fire in Little Hangleton.There were still only a few lines in the report, saying that Fiendfyre had been caused by a Dark wizard, and that the Ministry of Magic was on the hunt.

Nope, the reports in the newspapers were limited to this, let alone Voldemort's comeback, even Barty Jr. and Foley were not mentioned.Don't even think about the names of Dumbledore, Sirius, and Harry.

Cover the cover, anyway, there are only a few people who know the truth, Fudge chose to cover the cover in a self-deceiving way.Apart from whitewashing the peace, Ada couldn't think of any other more suitable words.

"If you ask me, I think Fudge forced their silence," said George.

"Stupid fudge!" Fred said sarcastically. "Reading the newspaper this morning, and especially listening to Laura's comment on Fudge, I feel ashamed that I'm an English wizard."

With a finger cake in her mouth, Ada said vaguely: "As expected, he can only be a greedy politician, and he will never be a leader."

Swallowing the finger cake, Ada then asked, "Where are the others?"

"Grandma Vader was walking by the Black Lake, and Laura was with her." George replied, "Harry went back to the castle, with Ron and Hermione."

"Mommy and Bill are back at the Burrow, but Bill doesn't seem to want to leave," Fred said. "Sirius and Remus left school. Dumbledore should have something for them to do."

While talking, the twins thought of something again, and they both said in unison: "By the way, Karkaroff ran away. He disappeared last night."

Fred and George heard this from Durmstrang's pupils.From last night to now, the Durmstrang students have been looking for their principal for a long time, but they have not found it.

"Karkaroff was a Death Eater, and he betrayed his fellow Death Eaters," Ada said. "He was afraid of reprisals, so he ran away. Maybe it won't be long before we hear about his death." gone."

A traitor like Karkaroff, it was impossible for Voldemort to let him go, or to accept him again.If Karkaroff was spared, it would be difficult to lead the Death Eaters team.

At dinner time, Ada and the twins went to the castle, and the atmosphere in the auditorium was still very lively.

The students didn't discuss the Triwizard Tournament very much, only a few people who knew Ida well congratulated her.Everyone felt that Ada deserved the cup, and there was no dissatisfaction or doubts because the game was suspended.

Everyone was very interested in the fire in Little Hangleton Village, and there were heated discussions about which dark wizard might have done it, and when the Ministry of Magic would catch him.

Few people realize the connection between the Triwizard Tournament and Little Hangleton Village, and few people realize that the danger is quietly approaching, and the peaceful time will no longer exist.

On the long teacher's bench, Ada saw the real Professor Moody. He looked very nervous, and whenever someone spoke to him, he jumped up in surprise.

Nearly ten months of life in captivity made Moody even more suspicious. He didn't believe anyone except Dumbledore.

As expected, Karkaroff's seat was empty, and the students of Durmster didn't seem to be too worried.I don't know if they are big-hearted, or they really don't like their principal.

At the long table, Ada also saw Professor Snape, who didn't look very well.His face was paler than usual, his black eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not all good things happened at the teacher's table, and Hagrid was stuck next to Ms. Maximilian again, as if under a permanent sticking spell.
