Chapter 520 On the Verge of Breaking Out

There is a manor that has existed for hundreds of years on the outskirts of London, covering an area of ​​about 300 acres. Since the owner of the manor passed away unexpectedly decades ago, this large ivory-white mansion has been abandoned to this day.

The main building of the manor was originally a very beautiful mansion. Due to decades of neglect and the ruthless invasion of wind and rain, the entire building became dilapidated, desolate and damp.

The broken windows, missing tiles, and creepers on the walls made the house look even more eerie, like a haunted house in a story.

The green plants in the courtyard that had not been taken care of for many years have grown wildly. Sidorov pushed aside the leaves and branches blocking his eyes, walked through the path covered by the green plants, and walked into the main building that was once ivory white.

In one of the best-preserved reception rooms in the building, Sergei and four other wizards sat in front of the fireplace. On their hands were unfinished wine bottles and cleanly gnawed bones, which could be vaguely identified as the remains of the mutton leg after the meat had been gnawed away.

And there was another leg of lamb propped on the fire in the fireplace.

Seeing Sidorov walking in, Sergey and others greeted him. Sidorov simply responded, and then walked into the small room deep in the reception room.

A few minutes later, Sidorov came out of the small room and sat in front of the fireplace. After Sidorov said a few words to everyone, everyone stopped drinking and only focused on the fragrant roasted leg of lamb in their hands.

In the small room that Sidorov walked into, there was only Ada. She was sitting on the large sofa, looking out the window at the dark clouded sky. Sidorov had just told her that the Ministry of Magic had taken action.

Even a loser like Fudge knows that after being beaten, he has to fight back and wait for death. He doesn't know how to do it, and he can't do it.

After killing Umbridge, killing the Auror, and even running to the Ministry of Magic's office, Ada gave the Ministry of Magic a big slap in the face with her bow and arrow. No one could tolerate this.

The Ministry of Magic's first proactive attack was to use Delis, hoping to use this target to ambush Ada. As a result, Ada saw through it and used hard power to defeat the Ministry of Magic's initiative. He even told Cornelius Fudge to wash his neck and wait, completely ignoring the Ministry of Magic.

Under Ada's coercion, the Ministry of Magic united with the same enemy and vowed to bring Ada to justice and save everyone's face. Even those who opposed Fudge, such as Amelia Bones.

If Ada is still not caught, Fudge will inevitably take the blame and resign, or simply be killed by Ada. By then, the Ministry of Magic will be in disgrace and will be despised by wizards in this country and other countries.

At that time, whether Amelia Bones or someone else takes over, they will inherit a mess, a Ministry of Magic with extremely low credibility. You must know that it is easy to lose people's hearts, but it may take years, or even decades, to win them back.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic decided to concentrate its elite forces to eliminate Ada to show that the Ministry of Magic is still powerful and inviolable.

It was this news that Sidorov just reported. Aurors and thugs from the Ministry of Magic began to assemble, and the target was the abandoned manor where Ada and the others were hiding.

Ada's eyes were still outside, and the dark clouds were low, as if a downpour would fall at any time. The frightening wind whined non-stop, and the plants outside the window swayed with the strong wind, like a demon with teeth and claws.

Ada is not too worried about the actions of the Ministry of Magic. She is confident that she will survive. What she is worried about is Voldemort hiding underwater.

During this time, Ada was causing trouble in England, as if she was the Dark Lord who was making a comeback, while the real Voldemort was standing still.

It can't be said that he is completely motionless, because Voldemort has always made small movements, but these things are done very covertly and do not attract too many people's ideas.

For example, Broderick Bird was hospitalized with Mr. Weasley's front and rear legs.

This sad-faced wizard is a silent man who works in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. For some reason, Death Eaters attacked Mr. Bode, who lost the ability to speak and believed he was a teapot.

Bode was sent to St. Mungo's for medical treatment, and while he was in the hospital, someone anonymously gave him a plant. It was the Devil's Net, and the silent man of the Department of Mysteries was strangled to death by the Devil's Net.

During this period, Ada's focus was entirely on the Ministry of Magic, and she was somewhat neglectful of Voldemort's activities, but she believed that Voldemort would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Even if something goes wrong, Ada will still be blamed.

In addition to the sneaky Voldemort, Ada is also worried about Dumbledore. Dumbledore has not been seen for a long time since being expelled by Fudge and Umbridge.

It wasn't that she was worried that Dumbledore would die or have an accident, but he never showed up, which made Ada feel vaguely uneasy, as if there was a pair of blue eyes secretly staring at her.

The dark clouds finally couldn't bear the weight of the raindrops, and the rain poured down, pattering on the windows. Everything between heaven and earth was covered by a curtain of rain, making the sky even darker.

A knock on the door interrupted Ada's thoughts. It was Sergey. The alcoholism on his face had faded.

"They are coming," Sergey said. "The alarm we placed on the perimeter has been triggered."

Ada turned her head and asked, "How long will it take?"

"Within half an hour," Sergey said. "Sidorov just went out to take a look, and they have blended into the residents around the manor. I think they will launch an attack after they are dealt with properly."

Ada nodded and asked casually: "Sergey, are you afraid?"

"To be honest, a little bit." Sergey thought for a moment and replied, "It's no longer a matter of our numerical disadvantage, but..."

There were only seven people in the abandoned manor, including Ada. The menacing Ministry of Magic must have gathered a lot of people, and the number of people could also reflect the Ministry of Magic's determination to capture Ada.

"If nothing can be done, you can leave as soon as possible." Ada said, "Don't worry about me."

Sergei suddenly knelt down in front of Ada and said, "No matter what, I will never abandon you. This is a man's oath, and he must keep it even if he loses his life."

"I know, I know." Ada said, she did not laugh, nor did she think the man's oath was ridiculous. She continued: "Your life is still useful to me, so I can't leave it here. Okay, go ahead and get ready so we can welcome the guests."

Sergey was speechless. He exited the room and told everyone to prepare as soon as possible.

Ada, who stayed in the room, said to herself: "It's more convenient to be alone, coming and going like the wind." Fortunately, no one else heard this. It would be very sad if she heard it.

In the reception room, the flame in the fireplace had been extinguished and the roasted leg of lamb was cold. Sergei, Sidorov and others stood respectfully to greet Ada who walked out of the small room.

Ada did not mobilize before the war. Although she had a way to confuse people, she did not want to use it on these people who would accompany her through life and death. She only paused briefly in front of everyone, from Sergey, to Sidorov, to Laurent, to Bernard and Robert, and to Hartmann who stood at the end.

Then, Ada took the lead and walked out of the reception room, which had become a little cold. Sergey and others followed her footsteps and filed out.

Standing under the porch, Ada gently rubbed the wand in her hand. The yew wand was as excited as its owner, excitedly awaiting the arrival of its enemies and eager to tear them apart.

The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, and the huge raindrops formed a line, making people's vision blurry.

Ada squinted her eyes under the porch. She could only vaguely see a large group of people crossing the decaying iron gate of the manor and heading towards the ivory white building where she was.

Due to the obstruction of the heavy rain, Ada could not clearly see the number of people on the other side, and the sound of raindrops falling on the ground also covered up the sound of the other side's footsteps. Ada took one last look at the six people standing behind her. She didn't know how many of them would be able to continue breathing after tonight.

Getting closer, Ada could already distinguish Fudge, the leader. He should be wearing a pinstriped robe. Next to Fudge are Amelia Bones, who has a square face, and Scrimgeour, who looks like an old lion.

On the other side appears to be Kingsley Shacklebolt. If Kingsley is present, does that mean Dumbledore also knows? Perhaps Albus Dumbledore was on his way.

Can anyone tell me why there are so many collections suddenly? . . Puzzled. . .
