The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 459 Gossip
The summer heat wave has finally reached Versailles. The high temperature makes people who are afraid of the heat very unbearable, so they have to hide in the house or soak themselves in the bathtub.

The brick-red building of Rose Manor was shrouded in a drowsy silence, and the lively and active animals on weekdays stopped running. They lay down collectively under the shade of trees and among the flowers, very tired.

Ada hid in the shady wing and opened the windows wide, hoping to blow in a cool breeze that didn't exist.

The heat always makes people irritable and lazy.But in this summer, Ada has no time to be lazy, she has a lot of things to do.

In front of her was a thick and large old book, the paper was yellowed with traces of time.This made Ada have to be careful every time she turned a page, for fear of accidentally destroying the crisp paper.

The Rozier family has a very rich collection of books, and this ancient book is one of them, which records many ancient black magic.

But because the age is too long, I don't know how many hundred years it has been stored, the text of this book is very difficult to understand.Even some words and sentences Ada couldn't read fluently.

In order to be able to read fluently and not be Mr. Baizi, Ada had to prepare another ancient dictionary so that she could consult it at any time.

Ada hopes to find more records about Horcruxes from these collections.If you want to destroy the Horcrux, you must understand it, and knowledge of Tom Riddle's diary alone is not enough.

Since the holiday, Ada has been doing research and investigation on Horcruxes and black magic deformation.

Hiding in the room, holding one or several tomes of ancient books, not going out of the door, not stepping in, just like a lady from a famous family.

Every time Laura came to ask Ada to eat, she would call her "nerd".

Sighing heavily, Ada closed the book in her hand forcefully, and the pages made a crisp sound of being overwhelmed.This sound seemed to make her feel better, to vent out the resentment that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time.

It was in vain again, and Ada still didn't find what she wanted to find, but she remembered a lot of miscellaneous black magic.For nearly a month, Ada's efforts were almost in vain.

She only found a few words about the Horcrux in the sea of ​​books and words, and they were all what Dumbledore had said to her, how could this make people not angry!
At this time, an owl flew through the open window into the shady apartment and landed beside Ada.

Ada waved her hands in disgust, trying to dispel the hot wind brought by the flapping of the owl's wings, but it backfired.Shaking palms just bring more hot air.

The owl stared at Ada with round eyes, and its beak clicked, as if to say: Are you polite?
To express his apologies, Ida held up a little water in his palm, intending to feed it to the owl.An ice basin was placed at Ada's feet, which can not only cool off the heat, but also cool down some fruits and juices.

It's just that Miss Owl (Mr.) didn't accept Ada's apology, she turned her head at an exaggerated angle, and ignored Ada.

Ada was bored, so she gave up apologizing and directly took the newspaper and letter brought by the owl.As soon as the items were untied, the proud owl immediately flew away.

Putting the letter aside, Ada first picked up the English newspaper and scanned it page by page.

The "Daily Prophet" is still the same, saying nothing about Little Hangleton Village or Voldemort, and continuing to pretend that the world is peaceful and the sea is clean.

Moreover, Fudge should have put a lot of pressure on the newspaper staff, and they tried their best to discredit Dumbledore from the beginning of the summer vacation.The choice of words is much harsher than Rita Skeeter.

Almost all reports about Dumbledore do not have any positive comments.They described Dumbledore as a dork, that he was old-fashioned.

In some personal columns, those columnists even described Dumbledore as a conspiring rebel who loves high positions and is obsessed with power in order to attract people's attention.

They believe that all Dumbledore's remarks this summer are aimed at creating extreme panic so that he can seek supreme power in the wizarding world.

In the leftovers of the newspaper, the names of Ada and Harry sometimes appear. One of them is Dumbledore's accomplice, and the other is the puppet that Dumbledore wants to support.

Harry was said to be a highly egotistical, deeply delusional patient who was irritable, irritable, neurotic, and extremely aggressive.The former "Boy Who Lived" has become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats this summer.

Not to mention Ada, her black material has been released.What kind of black wizard Glover Cecil's closed disciple, what kind of killing three people in a row in a fit of anger... It's all half-truths and half-false smears.

In all the articles that mentioned Ada, she was described as an extremely dangerous character, the kind of crazy woman who would kill anyone.A crazy woman like Ada was not expelled from Hogwarts, and she also served as the president of the Female Student Union, which became one of the weapons against Dumbledore.

Ada admitted that her temper was indeed a little bit worse, but she wasn't as anti-social as the newspaper said, right?If she had been that violent, she would have set fire to the Ministry of Magic and the headquarters of the Daily Prophet.

Flipping through the newspaper again, Ada saw a report about the International Federation of Wizards, and Dumbledore lost his position as president.

The newspaper claims that Dumbledore is old and unable to do what he wants, but in fact it is because he has just delivered a speech about "Voldemort is back".

Now, Dumbledore is no longer the Wizengamot's chief wizard, and is even discussing taking back his Order of Merlin, First Class.

ridiculous!Ada's teeth nearly fell out of laughter.I have never seen such a stupid thing before!Fudge's brain must have been kicked by a donkey when he was a child, and it just happened to be caught by a door recently!

Throwing the newspaper full of lies to the ground, just revealed Fudge on the front page.Standing in front of the "Magic is Power" monument, Mr. Minister calmed the hearts of the people with his stupid smile.

Ada leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze.Ada didn't care about these rumors and criticisms. She had already prepared for it, and Dumbledore had also vaccinated her.

What really caught Ada's attention was Voldemort, Voldemort who stood still.

Different from the general behavior of the clown of the Ministry of Magic, there has been no news of Voldemort for more than a month, and the second-generation Dark Lord seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

There was no wanton destruction, no assassination and poisoning, and Voldemort did not engage in any terrorist attacks. These are the methods he is best at, as if he really regained his life that night.

Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.How could such a thing have happened to Voldemort?No matter which part of the body is used to think about it, this is an impossible thing.

This is the most dangerous situation. You never know where and how your enemy will attack you.

I don't know if Voldemort, who is hiding in the dark, reads newspapers. If he reads the "Daily Prophet", he probably will laugh his teeth out by now. He is so happy.

The more the merrier.The slander and slander that lasted for a month caused Dumbledore and Harry's status in the hearts of the people to plummet, and they lost most of the public's support.

This situation couldn't be better for Voldemort, Fudge and the Ministry of Magic are really good teammates for him!Voldemort and Death Eaters may be behind these remarks to smear Dumbledore and Harry.

After posting for a while, Ada's irritability was relieved, and she picked up the letter, the letter from the twins.

Originally, Fred and George planned to come to France to play during this holiday, but some personal matters got in the way of the two brothers.The two of them were going to take the apparition exam, and they had to prepare more products to deal with their increasing orders.

No way, Fred and George had to shelve their plan to visit France.

The letter was very short, with only a few lines of words. The two brothers briefly talked about two interesting things in life, the dark house, and the portrait that cursed people without repeating.

At the end of the letter, there is a line of large words, and in order to emphasize the point, the twins have deliberately thickened this line of words.

"Dumbledore wishes you to return to London as soon as possible."
