Chapter 268 Sudden concern

The conversation that night not only resolved Ada's misunderstanding about Tonks, but also allowed Ada to passively gain a friendship, the friendship from Tonks. Tonks is impressive and cheerful, and she also likes to play pranks. Ada is eager to introduce her to the twins.

After parting ways with Tonks, Ada considered her proposal. Ada was thinking about whether she should tell Professor McGonagall everything about being watched and let her help make up her mind.

Yes, Ada was thinking of Professor McGonagall, not Dumbledore as Tonks mentioned.

Although the relationship between her and Dumbledore had eased due to Nurmengard and the Chamber of Secrets, the rift still existed and needed more time to be diluted.

Ada no longer regards Dumbledore as someone she can rely on, and she doesn't want to owe him too many favors. Because favors must be repaid in the end.

For Professor McGonagall, Ada had no such burden, as if Professor McGonagall owed her something.

If she has any confusion, she will always think of her dean immediately. And Professor McGonagall never cared about repayment, and always helped her and took care of her unconditionally.

In this cold world, Ada feels that she is at least lucky because she has met so many kind people. Some people may never meet one of these kind people in their lifetime, but she has met many.

It is precisely because of the existence of these people that Ada is not immersed in darkness, because her life is full of sunshine, and the road to darkness is also full of stumbling blocks.

Just when Ada was wondering whether to ask Professor McGonagall for help, Dumbledore suddenly came to the door.

That night, Ada was just getting ready to go to bed when she found Phoenix Fox appearing at her window. Ada quietly put on a lace black dressing gown, put her wand on her body, and then walked downstairs in confusion.

This wasn't the first time Dumbledore had come to the Burrow. He had just rescued the Weasleys' young daughter, Ginny, so why didn't he just visit the Burrow openly? It must be done in this sneaky way, making it look like an underground joint.

With this doubt, Ada walked out of the Burrow, walked around the bushes growing around the base of the wall, walked through overgrown weeds and overgrown turf, and finally saw the "Night Raid" Burrow at the edge of the large pond. Dumbledore.

"Professor Wei Ye came to visit and used this method as if he had done something wrong. Is there any secret that cannot be told?" Ada said softly. The night breeze was a bit cold and carried Ada's words far away.

"There is nothing wrong with others." Seeing Ada pouting, Dumbledore continued, "It's just that there are some things that don't need to cause trouble in the city and only cause trouble to others. It's enough for you to know and for me to know."

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Ada's first reaction was that her own murder had been revealed. But then Ada rejected this idea. She was confident that she had done it covertly enough that Dumbledore would not find out.

Furthermore, if Dumbledore really knew about it, even if he wasn't here to accuse him, he wouldn't be so calm.

"What's the reason?" Ada asked, "Beauties all sleep, and you and your bird successfully made me miss the time for skin regeneration."

"What theory is this? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it newly developed by Muggles?" Dumbledore was a little curious. What is the skin regeneration time?

Of course Ada couldn't explain why, she just complained about Dumbledore delaying her rest. How would she know what this theory was, who came up with it, and whether it was correct?

The moon was sparse and the weather was rare, but what Dumbledore mentioned was not pleasant. He asked, "Someone told me that you were being followed. Is this true?"

"Tonks told you?" Ada turned her head and looked at Dumbledore. Tonks had just discussed this matter with herself, and Dumbledore came to see her a few days later. Ada naturally thought that it was Tonks who told the principal.

"It seems there is such a thing." Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully, "Tonks, I remember she was a Hufflepuff student. I didn't know you actually knew such an enthusiastic girl. "

Dumbledore has been a professor for decades and has taught many, many students. He cannot guarantee that he can remember every student's name, but Tonks is the kind of person who can leave a deep impression on others.

"Tonks and I have just gotten to know each other," Ada said. "I don't know who is spying on me. I even discovered them after Tonks reminded me. By the way, Tonks Attending Auror training."

Dumbledore raised his head and looked up at the night sky. He seemed to be more interested in Tonks. His old friend Alastor Moody had also mentioned this girl before. He continued: "I'm surprised you found out about it only after someone else alerted you to it."

"If you go to the Leaky Cauldron, you will know how good Old Tom's business is this year!" Ada sighed helplessly, "Old Tom seems to be ten years younger all of a sudden. And be happy.”

"Never make excuses for yourself, Ada." Dumbledore's criticism was gentle, much more pleasant to the ear than Grindelwald.

Ada nodded and accepted the principal's criticism. This was indeed her negligence, or it could be said that her mentality had expanded after her own strength had improved. Ada said: "Such surveillance happened once last year. At that time, I suspected Foley or other pure-blood families, but no substantial evidence was found."

"What about this time?" Dumbledore asked, "Are there any new discoveries?"

"The dragons are crossing the river," Ada said. "Some of them don't look like English wizards."

Dumbledore said: "It's similar to the news I received. Some of them entered England in a normal way, and some of them smuggled in illegally."

"Like last time we went to Nurmengard?"

"Yes, but the methods used may be different." Dumbledore replied. No one can tell clearly how many kinds of magic there are in the world, not even Dumbledore. Otherwise, he would not have had to ask Grover Cecil for help before, nor would he have known the magic that Voldemort had cast on the diary.

"I will investigate this matter as soon as possible. Failure to investigate will ultimately be a hidden danger." Dumbledore said. He felt that he did not understand Ada. What secrets was hidden in this child that could attract these people? attention.

"In addition, do I need to provide you with protection?" Dumbledore asked again, knowing that this question was a bit redundant, but Dumbledore felt that he still needed to say it.

In the entire wizarding world, the person who knows Ada's abilities best is Dumbledore, followed by Grindelwald and Newt Scamander. Because these two people don't often come into contact with Ada, they don't understand her recent changes. However, they have their own understanding and knowledge, so these two people are considered to be in the same league.

As for Professor McGonagall, although she often comes into contact with Ada, she does not understand Ada's true strength, or does not have a clear and complete understanding. After all, Professor McGonagall usually only discussed transfiguration with Ada and never discussed other magic.

This was Dumbledore's kindness and concern from the elders, but Ada wanted to ask Dumbledore: Is it a curse? Are you swearing? As an old comrade who is more than a hundred years old, there is nothing he can't do well in learning. He has to learn from Snape's yin and yang.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can still cope with it." Ada had her own considerations, "and there are suddenly more people around me, I'm afraid it might alert the enemy."

Dumbledore didn't have any dissatisfaction because of Ada's rejection. He knew that Ada must have her own considerations, which is the proverbial right idea. He added: "By the way, I don't know why, but a friend of mine suggested that you learn French."

"French?" Ada turned to look at Dumbledore in confusion, only to find that there was Dumbledore's shadow around her.

Ada's doubts disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold sweat. If Dumbledore could disappear without a trace, could he also reappear without a trace? Who else could do this but him?

Tonight's night wind carried a slight chill, and Ada, alone, stood quietly by the pond and did not return to the room for a long time.
