Chapter 459 Rumors and Criticisms

The summer heat wave finally reached Versailles, and people who were afraid of the heat couldn't bear the high temperature, so they had to hide in the house or soak themselves in the bathtub.

The brick-red buildings of Rose Manor were shrouded in a drowsy silence. The usually lively and active little animals no longer ran around, but lay collectively under the shade of trees and flowers, very lazy.

Ada hid in the cool side room and opened the window wide, hoping to blow in a cool breeze that didn't exist.

Heat always makes people irritable and lazy. But this summer, Ada had no time to be lazy. She had a lot to do.

There was a thick and large old book in front of her. The paper was yellowed with traces of time. This made Ada be careful every time she turned the page, for fear of accidentally destroying the crispy paper.

The Rozier family has a very rich collection of books, and this ancient book is one of them, which records many ancient black magic.

But because it is so old and has been collected for hundreds of years, the text in this book is clumsy and difficult to understand. There were even some words that Ada couldn't read smoothly.

In order to be able to read fluently and not be Mr. White Letter, Ada had to prepare an additional ancient dictionary so that she could refer to it at any time.

Ada hopes to find more records about Horcruxes from these collections of books. If you want to destroy a Horcrux, you must understand it. Simply knowing Tom Riddle's diary is not enough.

Since the holidays, Ada has been doing research and investigation on Horcruxes and black magic transformation.

Hiding in the room, holding one or several large ancient books, never leaving or taking a second step, just like a lady from a famous family.

Every time Laura came to greet Ada for dinner, she would call her "nerd."

With a heavy sigh, Ada closed the book in her hand forcefully, and the pages made an overwhelming crunching sound. The sound seemed to make her feel better and vent the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for a long time.

It was in vain again, Ada still couldn't find what she wanted to find, but she did remember a lot of miscellaneous black magic. For nearly a month, Ada's efforts were almost in vain.

She only found a few words about Horcruxes in the sea of ​​words, and they were all what Dumbledore had said to her. How could this make people not angry!

At this time, an owl flew into the cool suite along the open window and landed next to Ada.

Ada waved her hand in disgust, trying to dispel the hot wind caused by the flapping of the owl's wings, but it had the opposite effect. Shaking your palms only brings more hot air.

The owl looked at Ada with round eyes and its beak clicked, as if to say: Are you polite?

To apologize, Ada cupped some water in her palm and wanted to feed it to the owl. An ice basin was placed at Ada's feet, which could not only relieve the heat, but also drink some fruits, juices and the like.

But Miss (Mr. Owl) did not accept Ada's apology. She turned her head at an exaggerated angle and ignored Ada.

Feeling bored, Ada gave up apologizing and directly took the newspapers and letters brought by the owl into her hands. As soon as he untied the items, the proud owl immediately flew away.

Putting the letter aside, Ada first picked up the English newspaper and scanned the pages one by one.

The Daily Prophet is still the same, saying nothing about Little Hangleton or Voldemort, and continues to pretend that the world is peaceful and the seas and rivers are clear.

Moreover, Fudge must have put a lot of pressure on the newspaper staff. They tried their best to discredit Dumbledore from the beginning of the summer vacation. Her choice of words is much harsher than Rita Skeeter's.

Almost all reports about Dumbledore are devoid of any positive comments. They described Dumbledore as a coward and an old fool.

In some personal columns, in order to attract attention, the columnists even described Dumbledore as a conspiracy rebel who was obsessed with high positions and was obsessed with power.

They believe that all Dumbledore's remarks this summer are intended to create extreme panic so that he can seek supreme power in the wizarding world.

In newspaper scraps, the names of Ada and Harry sometimes appear. One of them is Dumbledore's accomplice, and the other is a puppet that Dumbledore wants to support.

Harry is said to be an extremely egotistical patient who suffers from severe delusions, is irritable, irritable, neurotic, and extremely aggressive. The former "Boy Who Lived" became a street rat that everyone yelled at this summer.

Not to mention Ada, all her dirty information has been released. He was a close disciple of the dark wizard Grover Cecil, and he killed three people in a row... It was all this kind of half-truth and half-false slander.

In all the articles that mentioned Ada, she was described as an extremely dangerous person, the kind of crazy woman who would kill anyone she saw. Crazy women like Ada were not expelled from Hogwarts and even served as the president of the female student union, which became one of the weapons used to attack Dumbledore.

Ada admitted that her temper was indeed a little bit worse, but she wasn't as anti-social as the newspapers said, right? If she was really that violent, she would have burned down the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet.

Flicking through the newspaper again, Ada saw a report about the International Confederation of Wizards, where Dumbledore had lost his position as president.

The newspaper said that Dumbledore was old and unable to do his job, but in fact it was because he had just delivered a speech about "Voldemort is back".

Now, Dumbledore is no longer the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, and is even discussing taking back his Order of Merlin, First Class.

ridiculous! Ada's teeth almost fell out of laughter. I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people! Fudge's brain must have been kicked by a donkey when he was a child, and it happened to be caught in a door recently!

He threw the lying newspaper to the ground, just to reveal Fudge on the front page. Mr. Minister stood in front of the monument to "Magic is Power" and reassured the people with his stupid smile.

Ada leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Ada didn't care about these rumors and criticisms. She had been prepared for it, and Dumbledore had also vaccinated her.

What really concerned Ada was Voldemort, who stood still.

Unlike the clown-like behavior of the Ministry of Magic, no news about Voldemort has come out in more than a month, and the second-generation Dark Lord seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

There was no wanton destruction, no assassination or poisoning, and Voldemort did not carry out any terrorist attacks. These were his best methods, as if he had really regained his life that night.

Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. How could this happen to Voldemort? No matter which part of the body you think about, this is an impossible thing.

The most dangerous situation is when the enemy is in darkness and we are clear. You never know where and how your enemy will attack you.

I don't know if Voldemort, who is hiding in the dark, reads the newspaper. If he reads the "Daily Prophet", he will probably laugh his big teeth out at this moment. He is so happy.

The more the merrier. The slander and slander that lasted for a month caused Dumbledore and Harry's status in the hearts of the people to plummet, and they lost the support of the majority of the public.

This situation couldn't be better for Voldemort. Fudge and the Ministry of Magic are really his good teammates! Voldemort and Death Eaters may be behind these remarks that discredit Dumbledore and Harry.

After being in a daze for a while, Ada's irritable mood was relieved, and she picked up the letter, the letter from the twins.

Fred and George originally planned to visit France during this holiday, but some personal matters held them back. The two of them are going to take the Apparition exam and prepare more products to cope with their increasing orders.

With no other choice, Fred and George had to shelve their plans to travel to France.

The letter was very short, only a few lines of words. The two brothers briefly talked about two interesting things in life, a dark house, and portraits that cursed people without repeating them.

At the end of the letter, there is a line of very large words, and in order to highlight the emphasis, the twins also made this line thicker.

"Dumbledore wishes you to return to London as soon as possible."
