Chapter 308 Auror Contact Point (2)
In the warm room, Dumbledore and Ada ate chocolate as if no one else was around, and took a sip of hot water from time to time. They felt indescribably comfortable. Apart from exploding the wooden door at first, there was no sign of trouble.
But the more Dumbledore behaved like this, the more uncertain the four Aurors felt, wondering what kind of charter Dumbledore was. The four people stood there tremblingly, neither standing nor sitting, scratching their hearts and livers anxiously.
Among them, Walker was the most anxious. Dumbledore used to call him by his first name, but suddenly he called him Mr. Walker. How could this balding man not be creeped out?
While waiting for Dumbledore's instructions at any time, he secretly looked towards the door, not knowing what he was waiting for.
The remaining three Aurors looked at Ada secretly. She was wearing the school robe worn by Hogwarts students, with a rose gold necklace hanging around her neck, and a dull ring on her left ring finger.
Apart from her outstanding appearance, there is really nothing special about this girl. If I had to say something, it would be the calmness and composure in Ada.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dumbledore was here to cause trouble. Caught between her principal and the Auror, it was really rare for this girl to be able to enjoy the joy of chocolate wholeheartedly.
After hearing that the Minister of Magic would come to confront Dumbledore soon, Ada was still enjoying herself, and she immediately outshone all the Aurors in the room.
These four Aurors randomly pulled out one of them. He was the age of Ada's uncle.
As expected of someone who could kill three adult wizards in their second year, the four Aurors actually admired Ada at this moment.
With Ada's record, it's not a bad idea to get into the Auror ranks. If Ada wanted to, the director of the Auror Office would immediately approve her to become an Auror, and would also warmly welcome her to join the Auror family.
They couldn't blame these four people for judging Ada with normal eyes. After all, they didn't know that Ada was the girl who had met Grindelwald, the girl who had faced Voldemort face to face, and they didn't know that her grandmother was Grindelwald's die-hard loyalist.
Ada, who has seen a lot of things in the world, if she is so worried that she can't eat when meeting the Minister of Magic, she might as well cut her veins with the chocolate in her hand.
The room was very quiet. The four Aurors did not dare to speak and tried their best to pretend to be dead. Dumbledore didn't want to speak. There was no need for him to embarrass these people, and his anger was not something these people could bear. Ada didn't want to speak, she was still thinking about why Dumbledore took her with him.
For people of Dumbledore's level, no matter what they do, there will be a group of people watching and trying to figure out their intentions. Even if Dumbledore farts in public, some people will think that the fart has a special meaning.
But this time Ada tried to figure out what Dumbledore was thinking, and she was different from these sycophants, because the headmaster really had ulterior motives.
Obviously, Dumbledore came here just to confront Fudge, but he just brought himself as a "burden". It's strange that Dumbledore didn't have any special ideas.
Ada didn't think that Dumbledore took her with him to "collect his body" after the incident was over.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, someone broke into the Auror contact point again. A black-haired man slammed the wooden door open with a loud bang.
This wooden door has suffered a lot today, and I feel heartbroken.
The man looked young, in his twenties, with no baldness or beard. He panted and said: "It's bad... it's bad, the dementors... the dementors ran into the school..."
The man's voice became quieter and quieter as he spoke, gradually becoming no louder than the sound of mosquitoes, because he saw Dumbledore sitting in front of the fireplace.
The Ministry of Magic sent Aurors to Hogsmeade, firstly to assist the Dementors, and secondly to appease the merchants in the village. It was very windy and rainy outside today, so the Aurors on duty were slack. They thought that nothing would happen in this kind of weather, and Black would not choose this kind of weather to appear in Hogsmeade, so they stayed at the contact point and did not go out.
Sirius Black was inactive, but the Dementors were. They put down their responsibilities and went to the school to participate in the party. These ugly dark creatures apparently prefer eating to working.
If Fudge hadn't allowed them to use the Dementor's Kiss on Blake after catching him, they probably wouldn't have been so concerned. And compared with a fugitive, a student who is new to the school and has not endured so much torture is more attractive.
Walker finally knew why Dumbledore was angry. He suddenly felt dry and didn't know how to explain to Dumbledore or Minister Fudge.
Walker opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Finally, he had no choice but to close his mouth. Walker knew that he was finished. As the person in charge today, all the blame for this incident would eventually fall on him, and the minister would not take the blame.
The room fell into silence again. Compared with the silence before, this time there was a more uneasy atmosphere. Not only Walker, but the other four also felt that they would not end well.
Even if the five of them did not neglect their duties and a large group of dementors wanted to rush into the school, they could not stop them. The blame would still fall on them.
Fortunately, they were indeed lazy today, so the blame was not so unjustly taken.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Ada felt sleepy, Cornelius Fudge finally came.
Mr. Minister is well-dressed, and his clothes make him look more like a politician. He should be in the Palace of Westminster, not in a shabby hut in muddy Hogsmeade.
Mr. Minister did not come alone. He was followed by Amelia Bones, Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt, and a man and a woman whom Ada did not recognize.
The man looks strong, has short straight hair, and looks very serious. The last woman looked at Ada and frowned. The girly pink dress was really eye-catching.
Pink hairpins, pink bows, pink ruffle skirts, and tiny pink handbags. Ada is sixteen years old this year, and she doesn't even dare to dress like this, but the aunt in front of her dares to go out wearing such delicate clothes.
So ordinary, yet so confident, it was really an eye-opener for Ada.
"Oh, Albus, what is it that makes you so anxious? Is there any news about Black?" Cornelius Fudge acted very enthusiastically, and did not seem to have any discomfort at being called to the cold Scotland. Happy.
But Fudge's enthusiasm rubbed Dumbledore the wrong way. It was okay not to mention Black, but when Black's name was mentioned, Dumbledore became even more angry.
"Cornelly, do you know what happened today?" Dumbledore asked, "Did those dementors you trusted do something?"
Fudge didn't answer or make any sound.
Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, walked up to Walker and asked, "What's going on? What is Professor Dumbledore talking about?"
"Director, those dementors... they got out of control, they broke into the school..." Walker said hesitantly, his expression was very depressed, he had already seen the scene of him packing up and leaving.
"Cough, cough." A sharp, artificial girl's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Ada touched her throat in confusion. She was sure that the girlish voice had nothing to do with her, but she was clearly the only girl in the room!
A short, fat woman in pink clothes stood up and said, "Mr. Walker, what are you talking about? All dementors are under the management of the Ministry of Magic. They will not get out of control, let alone rush in." School."
As she spoke, the woman looked at Dumbledore. She seemed to be saying that Walker was under the instruction of Dumbledore to utter such slanderous words to discredit the Ministry of Magic and the wise minister.
Her appearance really made Ada uncomfortable. When she spoke, her broad, saggy face trembled with the movements of her mouth.
Ada is not a superficial person who judges people by their appearance, but it is really hard for people to like this Ministry of Magic official who is like a gas can turned into a spirit.
"Who are you?" Out of politeness, Ada decided to ask the name of this aunt who thought she was pink.
The woman said proudly: "I am Dolores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, a rude little girl. The education level at Hogwarts is really deteriorating, and the students are all such rude guys. "
Umbridge's remarks about Sang and Huai made Ada's mouth twitch.
Courtesy reciprocates, Ada decided to let Umbridge know what politeness is. Ada asked: "Pink Delicate, how old are you now? Also, have you ever heard anyone say that when you are dressed like this, you look a lot like a pink toad?"
"You impolite little beast!" Umbridge fumed, and she drew her wand. Her wands fit her figure perfectly, they were both short.
"It doesn't seem to be the case, but it doesn't matter. You heard it today." It doesn't pay to be angry, but Ada doesn't care whether he is a senior deputy minister or not.
Umbridge became even more angry. She held her wand tightly. If Cornelius Fudge hadn't been here, she would have tortured this ignorant little girl.
"Professor, she just scolded me, right?" Ada turned to Dumbledore and said, "And she still wants to attack me. So, professor, can I teach her how to behave?"
