The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 462 Ada's Progress

Whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, anyway, the Ministry of Magic has already used this trick, and it depends on how Dumbledore takes it.

In this regard, Dumbledore is not defenseless, he is well aware of the Ministry of Magic's indiscriminate means, but he entrusts others.

In order to protect Harry's safety, Dumbledore took great pains.Not only did he find a way to continue Harry's underage protection law, but he also arranged for Mrs. Squib Figg to take care of Harry secretly.

Now that Voldemort has made a comeback, Harry's security level has naturally been raised accordingly.Dumbledore arranged for Harry's bodyguards to work in shifts to protect Harry's safety.

Today's bodyguard is Mundungus Fletcher, an unreliable fellow.

It was precisely because of Mundungus Fletcher's absence from duty that Harry lost the protection he deserved, which made the Ministry of Magic's tricks succeed.

In the kitchen of No. 4 Privet Drive, under Vernon's repeated questioning, Harry explained clearly what happened tonight.

But Vernon doesn't trust Harry, especially with the delirious Dudley misidentifying him.

With a deafening roar at the top of his voice, Vernon yelled, "You cast a weird spell on my son so that he could hear someone talking in his head and think he... would never be happy for the rest of his life ,Yes or no?"

"How many times do I have to tell you?" said Harry, his voice rising with anger, "It's not me. It's two Dementors!"

"What?" Vernon yelled in bewilderment, "two what kind of mess?"

A Muggle could be forgiven for not being able to understand dementors, since they couldn't see them at all.

Harry paused, "Dementors! And two of them! I cast the Patronus Charm and drove the dementors away, so the two of us can come back safely!"

"What kind of weird thing is this dementor?" Vernon asked, the fat on his face shaking with anger.

"They guard the Azkaban wizard prison." Petunia, who was taking care of Dudley, said suddenly.

As soon as the words came out, there was a two-second silence, and then Aunt Petunia suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, as if she had just accidentally said a disgusting swear word.Vernon stared at his wife with wide eyes.

Petunia glanced at Vernon apologetically. She wanted to explain to her husband, but Ada spoke before her.

"I think it's only natural that Mrs. Dursley knows what a dementor is. Her sister is a witch."

Petunia's expression became as ugly as eating a dead fly. She had tried her best to hide herself for so many years, but in fact she remembered everything she knew about the wizarding world.

Vernon opened his mouth and closed it, then opened it and closed it again.

After a while, he said hoarsely, "If, I mean, the things you're talking about are real, what are they—what are these monsters?"

"You can think of them as depression, Mr. Dursley. It feeds on human happiness and other positive emotions, driving people crazy, and even losing the courage to live." Ada said, "I don't think it's entangled now These times. For Harry's sake, I can help your son."

At this moment, another owl fluttered into the kitchen, this was already the third owl tonight.The owl sent an official letter, which was the latest punishment notice for Harry.

Ada and Harry don't know how Dumbledore talked to the Ministry of Magic, but the Ministry of Magic changed the previous sentence.Wait until August [-]th, when Harry goes to trial, to make a decision.

The alarm is lifted, at least in a short period of time, there is no need to worry about the Ministry of Magic getting involved again.Dumbledore's personal visit made the Ministry of Magic restrained a lot.Now it was only the Dursleys who were left with the problem.

"What's the matter?" said Vernon gruffly. "Have they sentenced you? Is there a death sentence for your kind?"

"I'm going to stand trial," said Harry, who was used to Vernon's rough treatment.Harry was more worried about the trial than Vernon.

Harry is used to it, but Ida has never seen it!
Ada knew that the Dursleys had treated Harry badly, even mean and abusive.But she never expected Vernon Dursley to ask that question anyway!
Growing up in such a bad environment, not only did he not become black, but he was also kind-hearted. He really deserves to be Harry Potter!
Ask yourself, if the roles were reversed, she would never be able to be like Harry.Ada would just let the Dursleys know what cruelty was.

For example, right now, Ada really wants to go to the North Sea to catch a few dementors, and then throw them all in front of the Dursleys.

"If it's over, I want to have a private chat with my friend..."

"No!" roared Vernon threateningly. "Dudley! I want to know my son... what's wrong with him!"

Vernon questioned and yelled one after another. His rudeness and stupidity not only angered Ida, who was watching, but also made Harry angry again.

Harry stood up abruptly, he clenched his wand tightly, sparks spewed out from the tip of the wand, the chandelier flickered, and the furnishings in the kitchen trembled.

Preventing underage wizards from casting spells outside of school is not only for compliance with the International Statute of Secrecy, but also for their own sake.

Underage wizards have good and bad mastery of magic, and some underage wizards' magic power is not stable enough, and their own control ability is weak, so they are forbidden to cast spells outside of school.

Harry puffed up Maggie before, and his current performance is a manifestation of the out-of-control magic power.If the magic cannot be well controlled and the magic power continues to get out of control, it may be dangerous to Harry himself and others.

Ada hurriedly got up after her. She turned Harry's face to her own, looked into Harry's eyes and said softly, "Calm down Harry, calm down! I'll leave the rest to me, I'm here."

Maybe it was Ida's ring that helped, maybe it was Ida's emerald green eyes that made Harry feel at ease... In short, Harry calmed down, his hands were no longer clenched, the chandelier was no longer flickering, and the furnishings in the room No more shaking.

Seeing Harry sitting on the sofa like a deflated ball, Ida walked towards Vernon."Sit down!" she said in a commanding tone.

When the words fell to the ground, Vernon's eyes instantly became lifeless, and he sat on the ground with a "duang".

Maybe it hurt too much from the fall, and Vernon was sober all of a sudden.He struggled to get up, but his body was disobedient, and he tried several times, but he couldn't stand up from the ground.

"It's you!" Vernon finally recognized who the girl in front of him was.In the summer three years ago, this girl used the same tone to let herself go.

"If you know me, don't move, move, I'll kill you!" Ada said, "Now, let's solve the problem. Dementors appeared in Little Whinging tonight and attacked Harry and Dudley Dursley ,Is there a problem?"

Ada's aura was not comparable to Harry's. As soon as she got serious, Vernon immediately became more honest.Vernon nodded, though the idiot still couldn't figure out what a dementor was.

"Very well. Next, Harry used magic to drive the dementors away, protecting himself and Dudley Dursley. Harry was only punished for using magic outside of school. Is there a problem?" Ada continued.

Vernon grunted, making a small, out-of-body noise, like a mosquito.He said, "No."

"Very well. For some special reasons, Harry must remain with you, however reluctantly you may wish to. Is there a problem?"

Vernon didn't speak, nodded, or shook his head, just sat on the ground.

"Do you understand, Mr. Dursley? If you understand, just call me back." Ada urged softly, looking down at Vernon Dursley who was sitting on the ground.

"Impossible!" Vernon said excitedly, "Here, this place is the only one...he is the only one! That thing came here must be because of him, I can't let this kid stay, absolutely!"

Vernon didn't dare to say the word "wizard". He was full of fear of wizards in his heart, but for the sake of his wife and children, he mustered all the courage to say "no" resolutely.

Moreover, Vernon also discovered part of the truth about the "Dementor Attack" incident, and found that all this was not a coincidence, and it was directed at Harry.Probably because the blood supply to his brain suddenly became sufficient, and his clever IQ once again occupied the high ground.

"It's a pity that we couldn't reach a consensus!" Ada said. "It doesn't matter, it's the same if we change someone else. How about Sirius Black? Harry's murderer godfather?"

As if passing the breath ahead of time, just as Ida said Sirius' name, an owl immediately flew into 4 Privet Drive.The fourth owl of the night brought a letter from Sirius himself.

"I've had enough, let him, get this kid out of my house with these nasty owls!" Vernon roared hysterically, "And you! I don't care what you are, I will never allow any Crazy hurt my family!"

He ignored the crazy Vernon, who couldn't break free anyway.Ada read the letter first, and Sirius wrote on the letter: Stay there!In any case, you must never leave that house again, I will pick you up as soon as possible.

The letter was very short, even shorter than Mr. Weasley's, so short that Harry felt that Sirius was too uninteresting, and the reaction was too flat.He beat off two dementors by himself tonight, didn't anyone say "well done" to him?
Fortunately, fortunately, there was still the phrase "I will pick you up as soon as possible" in the letter, so Harry's mood would not fall to the bottom again.

Vernon was still yelling, telling Harry to get out of his house and put his wife and children in danger.

It was so noisy, Ida waved her left hand in front of Vernon's eyes, and the world finally became clean.

"Mrs. Dursley, I think you should know Professor Dumbledore, right?" Ada walked towards Petunia slowly, and said meaningfully, "Professor Dumbledore asked me to greet you."

Petunia said with a trembling voice, "I don't need his greetings... I don't need..."

Ada tilted her head and motioned Petunia to look at Vernon. She said, "I don't think you want Professor Dumbledore to visit you in person, do you? Harry, he must stay."

Petunia's breathing became rapid in an instant.Dumbledore's name, and Dumbledore's visit in person, terrified Petunia, who looked like she might faint at any moment.

Petunia's body was still shaking, she swallowed hard, and she said weakly to her husband, "The child—the child must stay here, Vernon."

"Very good! We've reached a consensus!" Ada said. "Now it's just Dudley Dursley."

With that said, Ada sat back on the sofa and untied Vernon's restraints.Vernon, who had regained his freedom, was flat like an old tire, and his eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension.

Ada took off the satchel on her body and put her hand in it, her whole arm didn't go into the small satchel.After searching for a long time, she finally took out a glass bottle from her small bag, and the liquid inside was golden yellow like sunshine.

"Give this to your cousin." Ada said while putting the medicine bottle into Harry's hand.

"This is……"

"The euphoria potion, people who drink it will have a strong sense of happiness. The side effect is that sometimes they can't stop singing." Ada explained, "But it doesn't matter, I added peppermint to it, so this potion won't produce any side effects."

Harry nodded, and walked towards Dudley with the potion.

But Vernon and Petunia were very worried. They didn't want their son to touch anything related to magic, even though the color of the euphoria was pretty.

"Do whatever you like, drink it or not!" Harry said sarcastically annoyed, "Just let your Dada continue like this!"

After speaking, Harry threw the bottle over angrily, and Petunia subconsciously reached out to catch the medicine bottle.

Husband and wife, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.They didn't want Dudley to drink the potion, but they didn't want their son to continue to be so stupid and unable to speak.

After hesitating for a long time, Petunia finally became cruel and poured a whole bottle of golden potion into Dudley's mouth.

In an instant, Dudley's pale face turned rosy, and there was a happy smile on his face.

The way to deal with dementors is the Patronus Charm, and casting the Patronus Charm requires not only superb skills, but also a happy memory.Therefore, happiness and happiness are unobtainable factors for resisting dementors.

This can be regarded as the right medicine.The happiness brought by the euphoria can alleviate the damage caused by the dementor to Dudley to a certain extent.

The matter has basically been resolved, Dudley has also improved, and Ada has successfully completed the task assigned by Dumbledore.

She put her satchel back on her back and left the Dursleys' kitchen.

On the lawn in front of No. 4 Privet Drive, Harry caught up with Ada, and he wanted to send Ada off.Harry said, "Thank you tonight."

"You're welcome." Ada said, "Do you know there is an orphanage near here?"

"Yes." Harry nodded, "It's not too far from Privet Drive."

Ada said: "That's good, I'll live there temporarily. Before Sirius comes to pick you up, if there is any trouble, let Hedwig go find me there."

"Okay," said Harry, "be careful, too. Now, it's not peaceful."

"I think you can have a heart-to-heart talk with your aunt. She seems to be hiding a lot of secrets. About your mother, about Dumbledore."

"I don't think she would be willing to talk to me about this." Harry smiled and said helplessly.

The two waved goodbye, and Harry stood at the door of the house and watched Ida walk down the road.

Just when Harry thought Ada would use Apparition to leave, Ada suddenly turned and looked at him.

"Harry! Great job tonight!" Ada said, laughing as she backed away.
