Chapter 541 Ada’s Suspicion

Since Thicknesse became Minister, the chaotic Ministry of Magic has become more orderly and operates at full capacity, trying to restore its lost public image as much as possible.

As the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley also received strong support from the Minister without any suspicion. Arthur Weasley's personal abilities have also been recognized, and now few people talk behind his back about how he became the Director.

With the joint efforts of Arthur Weasley and Thicknesse, the wizarding world had a peaceful life. The Death Eaters did not find any more opportunities to commit murders, and tragedies such as Emmeline Vance did not happen again.

But everyone knows that this is just the last tranquility before the war. When the war comes, it will be bloody.

But before that, there was another thing that deeply troubled the staff of the Ministry of Magic, and that was an office without a nameplate.

This office is located on the same floor as the minister's office, which was renovated and expanded some time ago. Everyone thought that Minister Thicknesse would work here, but he didn't do that.

The office that consumed manpower and material resources seemed to be vacant, but employees in the logistics department often saw people coming in and out of the office. It was a pity that the employees in the logistics department did not dare to approach. They only saw the back of the person and knew that she was a graceful woman.

Suddenly, rumors began to circulate in the ministry that Thicknesse was hiding a beauty in the golden house.

Thicknesse naturally heard this rumor, so he immediately ran to this office and told the owner of the office that he had never had such unrealistic fantasies, and that they were all made up by outsiders.

In this regard, the owner of the office, Ada, said nothing. Furthermore, it was said that the person seen by the logistics department was not her, but Laura Fournier.

After returning from Little Hangleton, Ada lived in the Ministry of Magic. On the one hand, it was convenient to access files and documents, and on the other hand, it was also a kind of protection for the Ministry of Magic. This would save Voldemort from attacking again and embarrassing the Ministry of Magic.

Thicknesse still had some complaints about Ada moving into the Ministry of Magic and treating it as her home and home. Only after moving in, Ada neither interfered with Thicknesse's governance nor pointed fingers at the Ministry of Magic, so the new minister felt more comfortable.

Thicknesse wasn't sure whether Ada would step up to the plate on her own, but if so, a purge would be necessary.

After understanding Ada's power, Thicknesse did not have any thoughts of resistance, but was thinking about how to improve his own use value and prevent himself from the tragic situation of throwing it away after use.

This is why Thicknesse fully supports Arthur Weasley, he is making his attitude and position clear to Ada.

After Thicknesse, who politely apologized, was invited out of the office, Ada once again buried herself in a mountain of files.

Dumbledore's message through Snape's mouth benefited Ada a lot. She decided to first find the whereabouts of the relics of the four founders of Hogwarts, and then find clues about the Horcruxes from these relics.

These relics are often preserved as family heirlooms by descendants of the four founders. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone like Gunter might end up in a desperate situation and resell the relics of his ancestors in exchange for money.

It is difficult to find objects that cannot speak or move in the vast wizarding world, but it is relatively easy to find someone. Especially after the four founders, there are still some clues to find them.

After Thicknesse, Laura also walked into the office.

"I think you should go out for some activities, or go to Diagon Alley to relax." Laura said, "Why don't you go to the Department of Mysteries to change your mind."

Speaking of brains, Ada thought of the room full of squirming brains in the Department of Mysteries. Ada is not a mad scientist, she is not a zombie, she has no interest in brains.

Looking at the mountain of files on her desk, Ada also sighed. Despite the help of Laura and others, she still has to do a lot of work by herself. Horcruxes play an extremely important role in this war.

"I was not so serious when I was preparing for the ultimate wizard level exam." Ada said, although she planned to stay at home, talk and relax.

"Are you sure it's not because you dropped out of school and didn't take the exam?"

No matter which pot was not turned on, Laura directly complained to Ada that the battery was out of power. In exchange, Ada rolled her eyes.

"Is there anything serious?" Ada asked angrily, "If so, tell me quickly. If not, I'll ask you out. I will hate you very much today."

Laura smiled, she still liked Ada's naughty and childish look. She said: "Cedric Diggory has arrived at the Ministry of Magic and has been assigned to the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters."

This matter is just a small matter, so Laura puts it first.

She continued: "We have found no information about the descendants of Gryffindor, but there is a widely circulated message that you should know that Gryffindor has a sharp sword passed down in the world, and only the brave can find it. This sword was forged by goblins, if you are interested, you can ask Mr. Amos Diggory for help."

"There are no more useful clues at the moment." Laura finally said, "Do we really want to keep looking like this?"

"This is only temporary. If we could know part of Tom Riddle's footprints when he was young, maybe we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble." Ada said, "Professor Dumbledore has given me a big problem. !”

So far, all the clues Ada has obtained about Horcruxes come from Dumbledore. Although the two have never communicated with each other about the fight against Voldemort, their goals are surprisingly the same.

Let’s kill Voldemort first, and the rest of the problems can be put aside for the time being. Although this is somewhat unethical.

"Is there anything going on at Hogwarts?" Ada asked, stretching and loosening her tied hair.

"No, maybe it will be easier for us to inquire after school starts." Laura said, "Do you think there is something wrong with Dumbledore?"

Ada had suspected this when the person she saw in the woods outside Gaunt's old house was Snape, not Dumbledore.

Horcruxes are creations of dark magic. To destroy Horcruxes cannot be as simple as removing Voldemort's protection. The process of killing Horcruxes must be full of dangers.

Outside the tent, Snape inexplicably said, "Go back to school more often when you have time", and he hesitated to speak, which only aggravated Ada's suspicion. Ada guessed that Dumbledore might have been injured in the process of destroying the Horcrux.

His own injuries prevented Dumbledore from coming to see Ada, so he relayed the clues about the locket through Snape.

This suspicion was just Ada's guess, her intuition, and she even underestimated Albus Dumbledore's strength, but this thought kept recurring in her mind, making her sleepless and uneasy.

"I don't know, I just have some doubts." Ada said, "Maybe it's a woman's intuition."

Hearing this, Laura's eyes gradually became lewd, her smile gradually became perverted, and her eyes swept around Ada. At this time, silence is better than sound, and silent ridicule is more lethal than straightforward words.

Ada was also annoyed by the look, and her pale face instantly turned red. Ada pushed all the files piled up on her desk to the floor, even though this would make her uncomfortable afterwards.

"Pack up, let's go out." Ada looked around and talked to him.

"Where to go?" The corners of Laura's mouth twitched, causing the scars on her face to twist and turn.

"Knockturn Alley! I'm going to Borgin's and Burke's store." Ada said, "Such unscrupulous profiteers should be eradicated as soon as possible! I will restore order to the magical world today!"

Ada said as she arranged her clothes and her face. Then he walked to the extinguished fireplace, raised the flame, and sprinkled floo powder on the blazing flames.

The fire immediately turned green, and Ada continued: "Down with the profiteers! Do justice for heaven!"
