The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 463 short-lived happiness

It's hot summer, and although the hottest days of the year have passed, the scorching high temperature has not dissipated for a long time.

Ada was still dressed in a cool T-shirt and shorts, her long blond hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed from side to side as she walked, adding a bit of playfulness.

There was a bakery on Magnolia Crescent, Ada's destination, the impetus for her to go out in the scorching sun this afternoon.

Unlike Privet Drive, which is not far away, Magnolia Crescent Street has no fences made of privet shrubs, and there are no square houses. This street will not give people that closed and narrow feeling.

With brisk steps, Ada and her naughty ponytail came to the door of the small shop.

Before opening the door, I could smell the unique aroma of bread.Pushing open the door, in addition to the pleasant aroma, there is also a cool breath.

Feel comfortable!Sure enough, the bakery is a place to make people happy!
Ada looked left and right in the store, picking and choosing, she wanted to try everything, but she couldn't eat it.At this moment, with her big eyes and small belly, she wished she could turn into Ron Weasley and become Hogwarts cooking king.

Ada, who suddenly suffered from difficulty in choosing, seemed very hesitant. It was not until the sun was gradually setting in the west that she had great difficulty making her own decision.

Ada, who was holding a big bag of bread, did not leave immediately, hesitated again, and asked, "Excuse me, which one is the sweetest in the store?"

The clerk showed a super sweet smile and pointed to the donuts in the window.The young lady is not the kind of very beautiful girl, but when she smiles, it makes people feel very kind and indescribably comfortable.

Just looking at it, Ada felt a strong pain coming from her teeth, it was you!Ada stretched out a finger and said decisively, "Give me one!"

In the end, holding a bag of bread and a donut that was sweeter than the smile of the clerk, Ada walked out of this bakery that made people feel happy.

After going around, Ida came to a small playground nearby, the one where she first met Harry.

Speaking of Harry, one has to mention that he was attacked by a dementor a week ago.Fortunately, it was only a false alarm. If the dementors really succeeded, Voldemort's demonic "hehehe" would resound throughout the universe.

Just a few days ago, the advance guards of the Order of the Phoenix, led by Alastor Moody, went to Privet Drive and took the hard-working Harry to London.

Half of the people protecting Harry's transfer knew Ada, and it could even be said that she was very familiar with them.

Not to mention Moody, Sirius, and Lupine, they all met in school.

Nymphadora Tonks, this is the senior Ida accidentally met because she was being followed.Tonks passed his exams last year to become an official Auror.

Dedalus Diggle, whom Ida met as a waitress at the Leaky Cauldron, always said he'd met Harry Potter.Drinkers at the time thought Dedallo was bragging, but he had actually seen it.

Kingsley Shacklebolt, an Auror that Ada had met many times, an Auror whom Fudge trusted.The first meeting was in St. Mungo's, and the last meeting was in the village of Little Hangleton.

This is the most interesting thing for Ada. The Auror that Fudge trusts is actually a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Ada also wants to "hehehe".

The rest of Elphias Dorge, Emmeline Vance, Sturgis Podmore, and Hestia Jones, these four Ida did not know.But being able to be sent to protect Harry for the transfer should also be trusted by Dumbledore.

Ada sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, took a mouthful of sweet and soft bread, and then a mouthful of cold and refreshing iced coffee, feeling very comfortable.

"Aren't you really going to come out for a while?" Ada said to the air in front of her. She had already finished eating the bread in her hand. "Well, if you don't come out again, I'll eat all of these!"

No one answered, as if Ada was really talking to the air.But just when Ida stretched out her sinful hand to donuts...

"Get your hands away!" Dumbledore's voice came from a distance in the air.It's just that the voice doesn't sound wise at all, but rather hungry.

Ada withdrew her evil hand knowingly, and joked: "I have to come out sooner or later, why delay until this time?"

"When did you find me?" said Dumbledore.The principal appeared on the bench out of nowhere, grabbed a specially bought super-sweet donut with one hand, and picked up an extra cup of iced coffee with the other.

Ada didn't answer the principal's question immediately, she was shocked by Dumbledore.She thought that one bite of the donut might be too sweet, but Dumbledore ate it with such relish that he didn't spit out a single tooth.

"Professor, don't you really need to make an appointment with the dentist?" Ada asked weakly, "It happens that Hermione's parents are dentists, if necessary..."

Dumbledore focused on the donut in his hand and didn't want to pay attention to Ada's Amway at all.

After a while, Dumbledore wiped out the donuts. He was sipping his iced coffee, and he was more comfortable than Ida was just now.

After eating and drinking, Dumbledore activated the wise and wise principal mode, and he said, "I'm from Hampshire."

Here I have to talk about the geographical location of Surrey, where Little Whinging is located.Surrey borders London, Kent to the east and Hampshire to the west.

It is the Hampshire where the welfare village is located, and the welfare family, one of the 28 sacred families, has always lived here.

"Oh." Ada responded lightly, and absently picked up a bread roll.

"I went just in time for a funeral," said Dumbledore. "The funeral of Foley's family..."

Ada stood up suddenly, and she pulled out the baguette in the bag with her backhand, ruining the good mood of the whole day.

She said excitedly: "What are they trying to do? When that bastard was imprisoned in Azkaban, they moved around and tried to get him out! Later, they finally got their wish, The bastard ran away from Azkaban! Now, he has no ashes, and they have a funeral! What do they want!"

"Calm down, calm down, let me finish your sentence!" said Dumbledore, holding the iced coffee in one hand and protecting the precarious bread bag with the other.

"I can't calm down!" Ada said, "I'm not as good-natured as you, and I can't move like a mountain after being bullied!"

Over the years, Ada has seen Lucius Malfoy's provocation against Dumbledore and Cornelius Fudge's suppression of Dumbledore.This is Dumbledore. If it is Tom Riddle or Grindelwald, do you think they dare?
They dare not borrow their courage!People who are good are bullied, and horses who are good are ridden by others.This principle applies everywhere.

"Not Benedict Foley's funeral, but his father's." Dumbledore finished what he had just said, "I heard it was a sudden death. A cause of death that applies to any situation."

Ada stopped whining, but sat back on the bench again, and she stuffed the baguette back into the bag.

"What do they mean?" Ada asked suspiciously. "Is this for you, or for the Ministry of Magic? Docking the tail for survival?"

This is Ada's idea.The reason why the Foley family abandoned the father and son was to protect the family itself and prevent Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic from making trouble for them.

"During the First War, the Foleys remained independent," said Dumbledore. "Neither did they openly support Tom, nor did they openly support the Ministry."

Dumbledore didn't let Ada go to Welfare Village before, because he was afraid that she would get angry and offend the family and push them to the opposite side.Ada understood the principal's intentions, so she ran to the orphanage instead of going directly to Hampshire in a fit of anger.

The Foley family is the so-called Holy 28 family. Whether Voldemort, who advocates pure blood, wins, or the Ministry of Magic, which favors pure blood, continues to rule, it doesn't make much difference to this pure blood family.

That being the case, why would the welfare family take the risk of publicly supporting which side?Just sit on the sidelines and watch, anyway, no matter who wins in the end, they will not suffer.

The development of things also proved that there was no problem with the choice of the welfare family.After Voldemort's defeat, the families who openly supported Voldemort did not end well.

Rozier in England simply disappeared, and the whole Lestrange family moved into Azkaban... Even Malfoy and Avery who escaped the trial were randomly manipulated by the Ministry of Magic.

Many pure-blood families had been struck by a thunderbolt, but the Foleys had been spared by their indifference, and the Ministry of Magic had to rely on them for the maintenance of the system.

This time, they chose to repeat the old tricks, still not publicly supporting which side.Anyway, until the day when the war is won, the fruits of victory will be indispensable to them.

Silently cursed, Ada felt particularly disgusted by the so-called neutrality of the Foley family.It's just that they want to gain benefits and don't want to bear the cost, that's all bullshit neutrality.

"Professor, you came here on a hot day, didn't you just want to mention this unappetizing family?"

"Of course not," Dumbledore put down his empty iced coffee, "I came to see you on business."
