The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 368 Angel Bay and Nurmengard
The tranquility of Rose Manor was not broken by Dumbledore's unexpected visit, and the manor returned to its usual lazy appearance.However, Ada finally put away her lazy attitude and started to go to bed early and wake up early.

Every morning, Ada would run around the garden, and a large group of cats, dogs, sheep, deer and other small animals happily followed behind her.Physical fitness has always been a factor that bothers Ada, and she also looks thinner than her peers.

Not to mention training a body of tendon and vest line, at least you must be able to fight and run, so that you won't be panting like a broken bellows every time you run wild in the future.

Ada also talked with Vader about his previous worries, and also talked about the Triwizard Tournament.Vader didn't say anything consoling, nor did he say that Ada was her pride, but directly demonstrated to Ada what it means to "grow old and grow strong".

Although he is very old and his body is not as good as before, Vader can't be manipulated by others. This old bone still has the power to fight.Suddenly, Ada felt that Wei Da would definitely become the main square dancer and the prettiest old lady in the square.

Regarding the views of the Triwizard Tournament, the old lady was more straightforward, and if there was no other way to say it, just beat them up and it would be over.The three best magic schools in Europe, and all the warriors are carefully selected among the students, and they fight the elite special brews!

In the summer vacation of 1994, Ada didn't stay in the Rose Manor all the time. She and Vida came to South France for a free trip like Muggles.Using the Muggle way of travel, staying in a Muggle hotel, and visiting Muggle attractions, it really looks like the Muggle grandchildren who came out to relax.

The first stop was Nimes, Avignon, and then the grandparents and grandchildren stayed in Provence for two days.In the picturesque city of knights, two wizards are in the endless lavender fields, imagining about Ada's life after graduation.

After knowing that Ada actually wanted to be the headmaster of Hogwarts, Vader opposed Ada's idea for the first time.Vader hopes that Ada can work in the Ministry of Magic in France after graduation, with more money and less work to be close to home. If you like joke shops, opening a shop is also possible.

However, the two of them just discussed the future for a while. After all, it will be a few years later, so who can say for sure!
After leaving Provence, the grandparents and grandchildren visited several cities, and unknowingly reached the end of the journey, the Bay of Angels in Nice.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and close to the sea on one side, the two ends of Angel Bay face each other far away, like a pair of wings of an angel stretching out to embrace the sea, forming the most beautiful scenery of the entire azure coast.

Overlooking the window of the hotel on the Anglo Avenue, the blue sea water shines with incredible brilliance under the sunlight, and the pure color is as perfect as the radian of the bay.

The pebbles on the beach are a bit rough, the blue water is calm and clear, and the refreshing sea breeze from the Mediterranean blows gently. It is really a good place to spend summer.

The endless stream of tourists and the bustling beach did not affect the good mood of Vader and Ida.For the two of them, this companionship is the most important thing, and the famous Angel Bay has also been reduced to a foil.

Of course, Ada’s characteristic tourist photos are also indispensable along the way. The always dignified and elegant Vida also made her “poisonous hands” worse, leaving one photo after another of elderly tourists.

The photos of these elderly tourists are full of beautiful scenery. Vinda, who is unwilling to appear in the photo, is forced to raise his arms. Of course, the silk scarf fluttering in the wind is also indispensable.

After the photos were developed, Vader's face was full of disgust, but Ada called out, "There's an inside smell"!
After the free tour in South France, Vader and Ada returned to Rose Manor, and Ada also got a list of items for the new semester, as well as her brand-new student council president badge.

Unlike the prefect's badge, the letter on the badge of the student council president was changed to "H", which looked a lot like the coat of arms of Hogwarts, with a lion, an eagle, and an eagle around the capital letters. Badger and a snake.

Ada has also completed the long-term task previously released by the system and became the prefect (chairman of the female student union).The system rewards also arrived in time when Ada got the badge, and there was an extra part on Ada's system panel in an instant, which showed loyalty.

The names on the panel are only the names of these ten people including Lola and Sergey.It seems that only after the establishment of this kind of relationship similar to the subordinate, the name will appear on this panel.

Among the ten people, Lola's loyalty is the highest, close to full, reaching the evaluation of absolute loyalty.Sergey and Daniel were next, and the loyalty of the remaining seven people also exceeded half.

This made Ada a little confused. Theoretically, there were traitors among the ten people, but their loyalty didn't seem like they would betray Ada. What went wrong?

The evaluation of loyalty will change with time and changes in mentality. Is it possible that the traitor once betrayed himself and then reformed?

Or is it that the traitor accidentally leaked information about himself, but he didn't realize his "betrayal" at all?

The person who hid, the person who leaked Ada's news, seemed to be hiding deeper and deeper, and the truth hidden behind the mist was getting further and further away.

Before Ada understood the criteria for "loyalty", she had to leave Rose Manor again, this time not for a vacation, but for real.

Before returning to England, Ada has one more thing to do, she is going to visit Grindelwald.After taking her bags and leaving the hot France, Ada appeared alone in the mountains of Austria.

The snow-capped mountains here do not melt all year round, like white-haired old men, looking down at the people at the foot of the mountain.Nurmengard is hidden among the white mountains, the castle is still the same, forbidding, and the mountain road under the feet is still difficult.

It's just that when I came to Nurmengard this time, Ada's mentality was completely different.When I came last time, the road ahead was unknown and I was confused. Ada didn't even get to appreciate the scenery along the way.

This time, Ada's heart was no longer disturbed, and the road under her feet became more determined. She still had the leisure to collect wild flowers and weeds by the roadside.

In front of the platform made of huge stones, Ada waved her wand and chanted long and complicated spells.The gate of the castle appeared in response, and it was still mottled before leaving last time. Pushing the gate open, Ada once again stepped into Nurmengard.

This time, the interior of the castle is not covered with dust, and there is no dust flying in the air with every step.It's not tidy, but it's clean. It seems that Grindelwald finally started cleaning the castle after Ada left.

The thin and wizened old man descended slowly from the spiral staircase. This scene was both familiar and unfamiliar.What is familiar is the same scene and the same characters; what is unfamiliar is a clean castle and a change in mentality.

"I had a premonition that someone would come here in the past two days," Grindelwald said, still looking old and weak, "I just didn't expect this person to be you."

Looking at the expression on Grindelwald's thin face, Ada said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that I am not the person you desperately want to see, or should I go?"

There are four major tolerances in this world, which are: those who have a big festival, come here, it is not easy, and everyone dies.

These four tolerances can be properly transformed according to different situations and different contexts. Ada now belongs to the category of "everything is coming".

Grindelwald sat on a high-backed chair, didn't say anything to drive people away, and didn't say "everyone is here".The first-generation Dark Lord held on to his airs and refused to let go, completely gone from the shrew he was when he quarreled with Ada two years ago.

Seeing Ada go down the slope and the donkey sat down, Grindelwald spoke again, and he asked, "What mistake did you make this time to be sent here?"

"In your eyes, am I just so stubborn?" Ada was even more dissatisfied, who is this!I came to visit him, a widowed old man, with good intentions, but he turned out to be so kind to treat him like a donkey!
"Stubborn, no, no, no...you are not naughty." Grindelwald waved his hand, "I just saw the flame deep in your heart. When I saw you this time, I found that the flame in your heart burned more violently. .”
