The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 470 The Biggest Fool in the World
It's getting late, and the gray-blue sky is a rare and gentle moment of the day.

On the street, pedestrians hurried with their heads down, and no one would stop to appreciate the sky at this moment.After a day of running around, they want to return to their warm home and share today's interesting stories with their families.

Ada was standing at the corner of the street, still wearing the dark green long dress, her figure beautifully framed the dusty buildings around her.She was waiting for someone, someone who refused to come home.

The sky darkened again, and a young man with fiery red hair suddenly appeared on the corner of the street.With a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, he looked lonely, and the clean and tidy clothes couldn't hide his exhaustion.

Percy Weasley, the third son of the Weasleys.

He turned against his family this summer and moved to London alone to pursue what he saw as power.Every day after get off work, Percy would Apparate on this street corner and return to his little dwelling.

This street corner is very secluded, and even the naughtiest children seldom come here, but today Ada waited for him here ahead of time.

Percy naturally saw Ada in the shadows, but he didn't come forward to say hello.

Lowering his head, Percy pretended not to see anyone, and walked away quickly.It's just that before he took a few steps, a tall man with very thick hair blocked his way.

"Sergey, get out of the way." Ada ordered behind Percy, "Get out of the way of the honorable Mr. Weasley, lest he find a reason to cram you into Azkaban."

The hairy man stepped aside and closed his eyes.

The way was out of the way, but Percy didn't move away, he turned to look at Ada.He said indifferently: "What are you doing here, shouldn't you be celebrating at the Burrow now? Celebrating that you let Harry Potter get away with it."

"Hey, you still know me, and you still remember The Burrow." Ada said, "I thought the big celebrity in front of the Minister had forgotten all of this!"

Percy didn't want to hear Ada's eccentricity, and he didn't want to argue with Ada.

He turned back, wanting to go home.No, home was where there was family, and what Percy Weasley went back to was just a house, an empty house.

"Talk for a while, talk alone." Ada said, "Just you and me."

"Nothing to talk about," Percy said, turning his back on Ada. "I'm busy, and I have a lot to do."

"Are you busy with the thickness of the bottom of your crucible that can change history, or are you busy monitoring your parents?" Ada asked angrily, "Or is the minister entrusting you with some important tasks?"

The words were full of sarcasm, and Percy's face suddenly became ugly, and his feet stopped.

Across the dirty, narrow street, Ida and Percy came to a small coffee shop.This small street shop is kind of dirty and messy, and the attitude of the waiters is terrible.

Percy wrapped his hands around the coffee cup, never taking his eyes off the coffee, and said, "The coffee here is very good, you can try it."

Ada had no desire to try the coffee in front of her, for she was afraid she might drink something from the cup.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot." Percy said, "You are now the young lady of the Rozier family, and your status has changed a long time ago..." A very sad sentence.

Percy took a sip of his coffee and continued, "Tell me, what do you want to talk about. If you're persuading me to go back, you don't have to open your mouth and waste each other's time."

Of course he knew the purpose of Ada's trip, so he blocked the conversation directly, so as not to embarrass each other when he said it.

"We've known each other for so many years, do you think your words are useful?" Ada looked out through the window, just in time to see Sergey's figure.

Percy sighed and said, "I'm not going back. You're all wrong, you've all been tricked by Dumbledore..."

"That's what I saw with my own eyes." Ada hurriedly said, "Have you forgotten about Ginny so quickly? That's your own sister!"

Ada continued: "Or are you dazzled by the so-called power? Look at your power, it makes you live in such a crappy place, and lets you be ordered around by a fool like a dog! "

Percy wanted to refute, but Ada was right, he did live in this dirty and run-down place, and his status in the Ministry of Magic had never been promoted.

The reason why he can become the minister's assistant now is that Fudge wants to use him.

"It's just an appearance, the minister trusts me!" Percy said, but he didn't believe what he said, and he said it without confidence.

He took a sip of coffee to make adjustments, and then said, "I've only just entered the Ministry of Magic, and my political career has just begun. I will become more and more important, closer to the core of power. I can do it."

Percy, the Weasley child with the least sense of humor, was terribly stubborn.

The Weasleys treated Ida well, treating her like a daughter, and Ida also regarded the Weasleys as family.Ada didn't want to make them sad, so she bit the bullet and persuaded Percy, hoping that Percy could change his mind.

But looking at Percy's appearance, Ada's thoughts were destined to fail.

"Go back, they miss you very much." Ada picked up the coffee cup, but couldn't drink it.

"What are you going back to do? Were you being teased by Fred and George?" Percy also looked out the window, his face was distorted by the blurred glass, and he couldn't recognize his original appearance.

Percy went on: "I don't want to be like Daddy, squatting in an irrelevant position all my life. Let the children wear old robes and old school books. I know what you're going to say, I just don't want to live like this again .Is this wrong?"

"You're not wrong, are the Weasleys wrong?" Ada slammed the cup down on the table, "You broke with your family and ran to London alone to serve the shitty Ministry of Magic, and you can Are you living a so-called good life?"

Percy scratched his hair irritably, which made his hair look like wildfire.

He said: "You don't know anything! From the first day I entered the Ministry of Magic, I was influenced by my father's reputation, 'Ah, Arthur Weasley's son'. Everyone who saw me said so!"

"I managed to gain the trust of Mr. Crouch, but he disappeared and died! People from the Ministry of Magic don't trust me, they investigate me." Percy said almost frantically, "Just because my surname is Wei Sly, I am Arthur Weasley's son!"

Paranoid, Percy at the moment is a paranoid, he only believes what he sees and thinks.

The setbacks in his official career intensified his ambitions, making him attribute his failure to his background, and to the fact that his father who was also in the Ministry of Magic dragged him down.

In reality, whoever was in Percy's shoes would have been subject to an internal investigation after Barty Crouch's disappearance.It has nothing to do with Mr. Weasley's position, or Mr. Weasley's status.

Only, Percy himself couldn't see this, he was blinded by his ambition.

"I struggled step by step to get rid of my father's bad reputation, but what happened?" Percy continued. I haven't!"

"Bad reputation? Arthur Weasley?" Ada asked uncertainly. "This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard! You have a better sense of humor than Fred and George."

Ada is really speechless!If it wasn't for the children, Mr. Weasley could have lived his own little life with Mrs. Weasley like last time, ignoring the wind and rain outside.

But it was different now, Mr. Weasley was the head of the family, and he had to think about the children.That's why he sided with Dumbledore. He didn't want his children to live in a dark world.

"Mr. Weasley's decision was deliberate and for everyone's consideration." Ada said patiently, "The mysterious man is back. This is an indisputable fact, Percy."

Percy laughed suddenly, loud and harsh.

He said indifferently: "Of course, I know, you saw it with your own eyes! But so what, that is not the reason for you to rebel against the Ministry of Magic. Now you are like those bad students in the school, who are punished for violating the school rules." Be smug!"

"It was never the Ministry of Magic that we rebelled against, but Fudge, who refused to believe the facts." Ada said, she was very disappointed with Percy now.

Percy took off his glasses and threw them on the table, rubbing his red eyes wearily.

"It doesn't make any difference in my opinion. Harry can be against the Ministry, he has Dumbledore's backing. You can be against the Ministry, you have not only Dumbledore, but you have Rosier. And Weasley, we Nothing but a pure-blood title."

Percy's voice was a little mournful, with a hint of determination, and he continued: "You can all back down, you can bow your head to the Ministry of Magic at any time. But Weasley can't, Weasley can't back down. I don't want to go on like this .I want to climb up, climb to a position where no one dares to ignore. For this, I will pay any price!"

Ada said bluntly, "Now you are like a baby who can only cry for milk, a coward who can only complain!" As she said, she stood up and wanted to leave. Sly was disappointed.

"You make me feel very strange." Ada said coldly, "You are dominated by your inferiority, paranoia, and ambition. Now you are not worthy of the Weasley surname. Also, please call me Cui in the future." Miss Sturt, please keep this in mind!"

"If you can, take care of Ron and Ginny for me, they are still young."

Ada didn't answer. She pressed a note to the bottom of her coffee cup and walked out of her seat.She went on: "Good-bye! No, never again! Mr. Weatherby!"

After speaking, he strode out of the crowded and noisy Muggle cafe.

"Wetherby, huh!" murmured Percy, his eyes no longer red as he put his glasses back on.

He picked up Ada's untouched cup of coffee and poured the contents into his own.Tasted it, it was very bitter.He reached out to add sugar, but just in time saw Ada looking at him from the window.

Through the somewhat blurred glass, Percy saw Ada opening her mouth to speak.

He didn't hear what was said clearly, but he clearly knew what his sister wanted to express.

Percy Ignatius Weasley is the world's biggest fool!
