The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 464 The Secretive Dumbledore

As the sun set, Dumbledore and Ada left the small playground, Ada was still holding a large bag of bread.

These breads were originally intended to be brought to the children, and there were a few little kids who were quite liked.Ada had grown up in an orphanage, and she knew how children got along, so she had to buy extra bread.

In this way, not only can those little kids eat bread, but they won't be bullied by other kids.

With their backs facing the sunset, Dumbledore and Ada walked while talking, but the pictures of the two looked particularly disharmonious.One is an old man with a white beard in a wizard's robe, and the other is a young girl in shorts and a T-shirt, which is very awkward.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, when did you find me?" Dumbledore asked, "When you decided to buy donuts?"

"No, I found out not long after entering the store." Ada glanced at the principal's robe with distaste, "Your attire is too conspicuous in Little Huijin District."

There are only two wizards, Ada and Harry, who grew up in Muggle society, and they don't know how to walk the streets in wizard robes.

At this time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road, and when people saw the combination of young and old, Dumbledore and Ada, they couldn't help but take a second look.

It's not because Ada is good-looking, but Dumbledore's dress is really weird, as if he walked out of a TV.Like some middle-earth...

"Okay. Did you stay so long in the store just to leave me alone?" Dumbledore asked, "but you thought it was not good to leave an old man like me dry, so you bought that sweet dog Make an apology, right?"

Ada's expression became even more disgusted, and she said: "No, you are too sentimental. The delay for so long is entirely because I am picky. The donuts are just a spoof, I didn't expect you to like it so much. I should have known I won't buy it."

For this answer, Dumbledore was noncommittal, and some people are hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

"Remember, the last time the two of us walked on the road like this was when we went to meet Newt." Dumbledore recalled, "You were much cuter and more obedient then than now."

Ada, who was holding a bread bag, was not in the mood to listen to the headmaster reminiscing about the past. She said, "Professor, if you don't hurry up, I'll be there. You don't want to be treated like an old lunatic by Miss Nelson, do you?"

"That's why I said that you are getting less and less cute." Dumbledore said helplessly, "Harry will go to the Ministry of Magic for trial on NO.12, and you will appear in court to defend him."

Ada stopped suddenly, she couldn't believe her ears, she asked: "Me? Professor, you made a mistake! Are you not afraid that I will fight that old boy Fudge in court?"

Dumbledore also stopped, and he looked at Ada with satisfaction in his blue eyes.

"You won't. Now you can prioritize and know when to do things. For example, this time you are angry with me. You obviously have many places to go, and you can even run home, but you don't. You choose Little Whinging. Why, because Harry's here."

"I'm not as good as you think. Don't put your hope in me, you will be disappointed." Ada said calmly, "I'm just too lazy to cross the sea. It's not because Harry lives in Little Whinging."

The two of them walked back to the orphanage in silence.

After walking not far, Dumbledore asked, "You will appear in court on NO.12, right?"

"What if I accidentally send Harry to prison?" Ada asked. "I'm not familiar with those rules and regulations. It's better for you to come forward yourself. I think those people will still sell you one." For the sake of face, it’s not so fast for people to leave the tea to cool off.”

Ada's refusal was not because she was cowardly and did not dare to try, but because she was discussing the matter.Ada is not a professional, she is not familiar with the legal provisions of the magic world, and it is likely to be a disservice when defending.

Even if you can't help, just watching, it's better than helping!The name Aida sounds nice, so let’s forget about Yida or something.

Moreover, this time the Ministry of Magic's trial of Harry's breach of discipline was not so much about safeguarding laws and regulations, but more about avenging private revenge and using public tools for private use.This was a collision between Fudge and Dumbledore, and he wanted to use this to slap him in the face and further weaken his influence in the wizarding world.

You see, Albus Dumbledore can't even protect the most important Harry Potter, how can he protect the insignificant you?
Come on, magic is power, and the powerful Ministry of Magic welcomes you to turn from darkness to light at any time!

"Life is about trying again and again, constantly facing new challenges, you can't shrink back, and you can't stop. If you don't try, how can you be sure that you will not do it?" Dumbledore said, his truths are always piled one after another. The piles are the same as the wholesale ones.

Dumbledore continued: "Besides, if I didn't have the certainty of winning, how could I practice with Harry. Do you remember Amelia Bones?"

Ida is still very impressed with this square-chinned, short-haired strong woman, and she is one of the few Ministry of Magic officials who left a good impression on Ada.

Reminiscent of the scene where Dumbledore first mentioned the Order of the Phoenix, Ada felt as if she understood something.Could it be that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not only a non-governmental organization, but also an opposition party in the magic world?

"No way! Amelia Bones, the Director of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, isn't she also a member of the Order of the Phoenix?" Ada asked uncertainly.

When Dumbledore first mentioned the Order of the Phoenix, the headmaster mentioned Edgar Burns' name.This excellent wizard was an original member of the Order of the Phoenix, one of the founders, and he happened to be the brother of Amelia Bones.

If Ms. Burns was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, she would naturally help Harry get away with it.What's more, Harry was not guilty in the first place, and the Ministry of Magic and Fudge imposed the crime.

"Of course not." Dumbledore said, "Why do I feel that you are thinking of something strange."

Ada lowered her head and said nothing, she admitted that she was a little whimsical.

Amelia Bones, who may become the next Minister of Magic, how could she be willing to be inferior to others!
If you don't believe me, go and see Fudge. He was very respectful to Dumbledore before, and he had to ask Dumbledore for his opinion on everything.Looking at the present now, Fudge wished that Dumbledore would go straight over.

Dumbledore explained: "Amelia is a very talented wizard, and she is also very far-sighted. Such a person will not be deceived by Fudge's peace theory. She knows that darkness is around. In Ha She will be there for us when Leigh is on trial, because she knows that if Fudge is left alone, things will only get worse."

Ada nodded, and she said, "Okay, I'll go to the Ministry of Magic that day. But I still don't understand why you asked me to come forward? Obviously, it would be better if you go in person."

The two stopped at the same time, and they could already see the gate of the orphanage, but they hadn't finished speaking.

Dumbledore said: "I have my reasons. I hope to reduce my contact with Harry as much as possible. This is a kind of protection for him, and it is also a protection for us."

Reducing contact with Harry... is to protect both parties... what the hell?Shouldn't Harry be tied to his belt at a time like this!I don't understand, I don't understand what Dumbledore is thinking at all.

If I can't figure out the joints here tonight, Ida probably won't have to sleep, and she won't be able to sleep.

Dumbledore continued: "It's too late today, I'll explain it to you in detail when I get back to school. Besides, I have one more thing to show you when I get back to school."

There was no way, Ada could only walk back to the orphanage full of doubts.

It was just a short distance, but she walked for a long time.At this moment, how much Ada hopes that the principal can show kindness, stop herself, and solve her doubts!
And what about Dumbledore?

He just stood there, looking at Ada with a smile on his face.Every time Ida looked back, he waved goodbye like a Muggle car wiper.

In fact, Dumbledore not only didn't explain clearly why he avoided Harry, he even only explained half of the reasons why he asked Ada to come forward.

No matter how cunning the young fox is, it cannot defeat the old hunter.Still too tender.
