The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 395

It was extremely cold at the heights, and standing on the Astronomy Tower was colder than being on the ground. Ada tightened the cloak around her body, and turned to look at Dumbledore.The headmaster had a smile on his face, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile seemed to gloat over others' misfortune.

"Even if you are looking for short-sightedness, it will be at the door of the principal's office. Maybe one day when you open the door, you will see me hanging myself, with my tongue sticking out so long." As she spoke, Ada gestured with her hand.

It's just that the length of Ada's hand gestures reaches her waist. Even if she is extremely talented and reincarnated as a hanged ghost, she can't stretch her tongue that long.

"As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and evil people live for thousands of years. I think you can live a long life anyway." Dumbledore said, ignoring the angry Ada.

Dumbledore also leaned on the wall and looked at the whole of Hogwarts with his head. He said, "It's great, you can have a panoramic view of everything on the campus. Overlooking all this, do you have the feeling of being in charge of everything?"

"Dominate all things? Unless there is really a god in the world." Ada said sullenly, "No, even if there really is an omniscient and omnipotent god, he can't control everyone and every creature."

Dumbledore looked at Ada and said, "I thought you hadn't thought of this! Since you know you can't control people's hearts, why do you want to do things to control people's hearts? Are you still annoyed by this impossible thing? "

90.00% of what happened at Hogwarts can't be hidden from Dumbledore. If there is a god in the world, Dumbledore is the god of Hogwarts. Of course, gods also doze off sometimes.

The rules Ada set for the prefects and students naturally couldn't escape Dumbledore's eyes, and even Dumbledore knew about Ada's going to the Slytherin common room.

But the principal didn't say anything, and didn't do anything, he just watched quietly from the sidelines.Some things are useless to preach. Only after you have done it yourself can you know the depth and right or wrong.

Just like Ada, she originally thought that she could persuade everyone with her own strength, let everyone act according to her ideas, and maintain superficial peace, but the result?
The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. When Harry unexpectedly became the No.4 warrior, the students no longer feared Ida's personal strength, and the students united for their own "purpose" and began to rebel, shaking Ada's "rule".

Regardless of whether Harry took the initiative to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament by means of cheating, and regardless of whether Harry voluntarily, in the eyes of the students, Harry was a vested interest and violated their interests.

Thus, there was the previous exclusion and isolation, and the current "Potter's stinky dung", which also means that Ada's attempt to make everyone act according to her will, and to control people's hearts, failed completely.

The reason why this superficial peace was maintained for two months, and the students bowed their heads and obeyed orders for two months, was only because Ada did not touch their vital interests, nor did they harm their interests.

Once their interests are damaged, or Ada's orders go against their wishes, they will become what they are today, and even further force the palace, or directly overthrow Ada.

This is why Dumbledore has been on the sidelines. He hopes that Ada can experience such a thing in person. Where else is there such an opportunity except in school?If the experience and reversal this time were placed outside the school, it is possible for people to lose their lives.

The human heart is the most difficult thing to understand in this world, and it is even more difficult to control the human heart.People's hearts cannot be subdued by power, they can only be destroyed.

Ada raised her eyes and said softly, "I don't want to control people's hearts. I just want the school to maintain a superficial peace. It's just that the taste of this matter has gradually changed in the process of doing it."

"Although the starting point is different, I think you have learned a lot of useful things, haven't you?" Dumbledore said with a smile, "Failure is not necessarily a bad thing, the key depends on whether you can learn from it."

Ada was still depressed, and said absently: "I know, failure is success, mommy."

"The words are not rough." Dumbledore continued, "The rule brought about by power will one day be overthrown. Voldemort ruled the Death Eaters with terror. After he lost power, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the Death Eaters were routed. Only Very few people are still loyal to him. Gellert ruled his followers with his own strength and faith, and there are still many Gellert followers in Europe today."

Dumbledore quickly emphasized again: "Of course, I'm not saying that Voldemort must be wrong and Gellert must be right. I hope you can also learn from their failures instead of repeating their old ways .”

Ada tilted her head and looked at Dumbledore with dissatisfied eyes. She said, "Why do you only mention the Dark Lord? Do you think I will become the third Dark Lord?"

"Of course not, it's just that there are no better examples," Dumbledore explained. "The two of them are the most famous, aren't they?"

Dumbledore went on to say: "You and I are not on the same road, and the end point will be different. I hope you will not keep your head down and drive on the road, but pay more attention to the scenery along the way. Those scenery are the most beautiful on the road. "

"How do you know that we are not going the same way? Didn't I already say that I would be the headmaster of Hogwarts!" Ada said stiffly, and she herself didn't know this, making her become like Dumbledore. People like Lido, Ada can't do it.

"Looking at the big from the small is somewhat biased, but it is not unreasonable." Dumbledore said, "You are not a person who can make yourself wronged, unless the person who wronged you is extremely important to you."

Dumbledore suddenly stroked Ada's hair very intimately, and continued: "As your teacher and as the chairman of the International Federation of Wizards, I should have let you go on the same path as me, but this The road is too bitter. You shouldn't accept these pains, so how can I impose them on you..."

The topic got a little heavy, and Dumbledore withdrew his hand, as if he had never done it.

The cold wind of November blew past, messing up Ada's hair, and brushing the broken hair behind her ears, she asked softly, "If you could do it all over again, would you still go on this road?"

"I don't know, and I don't know if I still have the same courage to embark on this road full of thorns."

The cold wind also messed up Dumbledore's hair and beard. For the first time, Ada noticed that Dumbledore was so old.Ada knew that if he could do it once, Dumbledore would still go on this path without hesitation, and he would do better.

Ada didn't know what happened to Dumbledore when he was a teenager, but it must have been painful to think about it, a hundred times more painful than his journey along the way.

"How are you preparing? The first project is very difficult. Don't cry when you are ashamed." Dumbledore changed the subject and brought the topic to the Triwizard Tournament.

"I didn't make any preparations, so I just notified the game time. How can I prepare for this?" Ada said along the way, "Just participate in the game on time, no matter what the content is, just push it over."

In the face of absolute strength, any schemes and traps are just bells and whistles and paper tigers.

If the difficulty of the competition is tailored according to Ada's ability, Ada will naturally be cautious and make good preparations.

However, the competition items must also take into account the strength of Klum and Furong. It is impossible to set the difficulty to be extremely high, so it is not for the competition, but for the feast.

Therefore, Ada does not need to make too much preparation, she just needs to adjust her state and rhythm, and concentrate on the upcoming project.

Dumbledore suddenly thumped the wall, and said in a fuss, "I almost forgot about what I was talking about. The warriors have to undergo a wand test, and they have to cooperate with the publicity and take pictures together."

"Really, when?" Ada asked.

"Uh... right now..."
