Chapter 310 The Disappointing Ministry of Magic

Toads get on the feet and don't bite, but they are disgusting. The first meeting between Ada and Umbridge was anything but pleasant. The appearance of the pink toad made an already bad day even worse.

Although stupid, being able to climb to the position of senior deputy minister shows that Umbridge still has some brains and is not hopelessly stupid. Seeing the situation, Umbridge did not punish Ada despite the objections of Amelia Bones.

The Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement is often seen as a candidate for the next Minister of Magic. Just like Barty Crouch, Amelia Bones is also considered to be the Minister of Magic after Fudge. .

Perhaps this is also the reason why Cornelius Fudge has always lacked confidence, because he has never held this position. Before assuming the position of Minister, Fudge served in the Department of Accidents and Disasters.

To this day, people find it incredible that Fudge became the Minister of Magic. They all think that he became the Minister because of Dumbledore's help.

Ms. Bones is one of the most outstanding and powerful witches of this era. She has always been the target of Fudge's wooing, but Ms. Bones has no interest in the olive branch extended by the minister.

Such a powerful person is not something that Umbridge can handle, and she even has to try her best to please him.

After being pushed back by Ms. Bones and criticized by Ada, Umbridge's face was not only shattered but also stepped into the mud.

But this time Umbridge was not impulsive, and she even turned away from looking at the smiling Ada in order to stay rational.

If you think that Umbridge is a broad-minded person, you are totally wrong. She is even smaller-minded than Ada.

Now Umbridge has no way to deal with Ada, but this does not mean that the matter is over. Umbridge has engraved Ada's name firmly in her heart, deeply hates her, and is waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Since she dares to offend the other party to the death, she will naturally not worry about the other party's revenge. On the contrary, Ada hopes that Umbridge will take revenge on her!

Everyone standing outside with Heavy Rain had their own thoughts in their hearts. No one spoke for a while, and no sound could be heard in the room. It was unknown who won the debate, the principal or the minister.

No one spoke, and no one left. Everyone was waiting in the rain at the door, waiting for the two bosses to end the argument.

Umbridge did not leave to flatter her and gain more support and trust from Fudge; Ms. Bones did not leave because she was waiting for the results, which would directly affect the subsequent arrest of Black. She wanted to get the results as soon as possible. Answer: Ada herself was not that concerned about the outcome of the argument. She did not leave simply because the people from the Ministry of Magic did not leave.

If the people from the Ministry of Magic left here, Ada would definitely find a place to hide from the rain as soon as possible. Not only is it small, but it’s also shabby and dirty. The Pig’s Head pub is the first place Ada thinks of.

After about an hour, the wooden door finally reopened amidst everyone's eager anticipation. Dumbledore walked out of the building, and no one at the Ministry of Magic could tell the winner of the debate from his expression.

Umbridge was the first to walk into the house with Deluxe, thinking that Fudge needed her now. Ms. Bones did not enter the room, but walked up to Dumbledore.

"Professor, what's the result?" Amelia Bones asked with concern.

She wished that Dumbledore had won so that she could preside over the capture of Black instead of having Fudge dictate to him.

Dumbledore shook his head. Fudge was more stubborn than the principal expected, and he failed to convince Fudge to give up his trust in the dementors.

"After I go back, I will select more Aurors to ensure that nothing like this happens again." Ms. Bones said, "Catch Sirius Black as soon as possible...catch Sirius Black as soon as possible."

Ever since Sirius Black escaped from prison, Cornelius Fudge felt like he'd been slapped hard, so he personally presided over Black's capture.

The Legal Enforcement Department and the subordinate Auror Office could only provide assistance.

A layman commanded a group of experts, and the main force in arresting them was the even more unreliable dementors, which made the arresting task extremely difficult.

Blake has not been brought to justice today, and he should really thank Cornelius Fudge and his dementor partners.

"Thank you, Amelia." Dumbledore said, "You'd better go in later, Connelly should be losing his temper." As if to confirm Dumbledore's words, there were indeed reports of things being thrown inside the building. sound.

As Fudge became furious, Dumbledore and Ada walked further and further away, gradually disappearing from Amelia Bones' sight.

"Director, are we going in?" Auror Walker suddenly asked cautiously, "Or..."

"Have you forgotten what your responsibilities are, or do you need me to remind you?" Ms. Bones said, "Besides, I really don't want to see you in the Auror office lately, Mr. Walker!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the five Aurors, including Walker, ran away and braved the heavy rain to return to where they should be. Ms. Bones wiped her face in the rain and adjusted her mood before walking into the Auror's temporary contact point.

In the heavy rain, Dumbledore and Ada did not go back to school directly, but instead went to the Twilight Cottage.

Ever since Dumbledore gave the shed to Ada, it has become more and more like a home. Ada can even take a nice hot bath here.

As soon as he entered the hut, Dumbledore's face instantly elongated, a length that even a donkey couldn't keep up with. The principal sat down on the sofa without saying a word. He didn't even tell Ada the result of the debate.

But he didn't need to say it, he could tell from his expression that the result was unsatisfactory. Fudge must have not agreed with Dumbledore's plan. Otherwise, Dumbledore wouldn't have such an expression as if he had eaten a fly.

Dumbledore didn't care and sat there like an old man, which was very painful for Ada.

Letting the flames rise in the fireplace, heating water for tea, and finding snacks to fill her stomach, Ada did everything by herself. This made Ada miss Agnes very much.

I don't know if it was because the cabin was getting warmer, or because the snacks improved Dumbledore's mood, but he finally stopped keeping silent. He asked: "Did you see everything?"

"You see, the Ministry of Magic is really disappointing," Ada said. "Only Ms. Bones is not that disappointing."

During the two meetings, Ms. Amelia Bones left a deep impression on Ada.

"When Voldemort was rampant, many people did not dare to resist because of fear." Dumbledore said sadly, "In order to fight against Voldemort, I organized and founded the Order of the Phoenix, and the Bones family gave me great support. Big support.”

In the early days of Voldemort's power, the Bones family was one of the most powerful families in England. The best man of the family was Edgar Bones, Mrs. Bones' brother.

Edgar Bones was not only a very good wizard, he was also an original member of the Order of the Phoenix. During those darkest years, Edgar and his family were brutally murdered by Voldemort.

After the war, the Bones family, which was once full of talented people, gradually withered away. In these years, only Susan Bones entered Hogwarts to study magic.

"Professor, what are you going to do next?" Ada asked. She picked up the teapot and refilled Dumbledore's cup with water, and also refilled herself.

Dumbledore looked out the window. It was raining heavily. It was still daytime, but it was dark outside. He said softly: "Connelly and I each took a step back. Dementors will no longer appear near the school, and Fudge will also strengthen management of them."

"The problem is back to its original point," Ada said. "Only if Black is captured, the dementors will return to Azkaban."

Raindrops hit the window randomly, disrupting Dumbledore's thoughts. He agreed casually: "Yes, only by finding him can we know what happened back then."

Ada grasped the point immediately, and she knew that Sirius Black's matter was not that simple.

Thanks to book friend Sususususuyun for the reward.
