The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 514 The Last Question

It was still the loft-like suite, Ada leaned on the railing and looked out the window.The mountains in the distance look like old men with white heads, but one of them has a huge scar on his body.

It was left by a silent person decades ago. Ada once yearned for it very much, hoping that she could have the same power one day.Now she also has such power, and she will no longer be intoxicated by this power.

Uncle Liu, who had spent all his budget before the first emperor started his business, paid three visits to the thatched cottage, and hired Mr. Wolong to divide the world. Ada also paid three visits to Nurmengard, but Grindelwald never taught her any magic.

Despite this, Ada came to Nurmengard during this slightly confused time, and she benefited a lot from here.

Grindelwald is a very good life mentor. What he has done is not worth advocating, but his life experience is worth learning from many people.

If Ada's life in Rose Manor was about indulgence and pleasure, then her life in Nurmengard was about practicing with great concentration and improving her state of mind.

Since Nurmengard Castle became Grindelwald's prison alone, life here has been boring and uninteresting, and even some living facilities have become problems.

Every morning, Ada wakes up early.If the weather is good, take a walk in the mountains and take a look. If the weather is bad, stay in the castle to look at the sky and enjoy the rain.

This activity usually does not last long, and Sergey will deliver fresh food every morning at a fixed time.

In addition to the ingredients, there are some that have been sorted out by Sergey. He thinks that Ada needs to review the news and information.

After receiving these things, Ada naturally wanted to take a look at them, but the more important thing was the meal preparation.Even though there are all kinds of bad things in this world, food and love cannot be let down.

Every time Ada lives here, Grindelwald's life improves.Providing three meals a day to the owner of the house is the rent paid by Ada.

There is a lake behind the castle, which is clear and clean.Ada would take a fishing rod and go fishing by the lake every day, but she couldn't catch a single fish.It's not that she cosplays Jiang Taigong straight hook fishing, but her level is really limited, very limited.

For this reason, Grindelwald often ridiculed her, and the two quarreled several times because of fishing.

Grindelwald insisted that there are fish in the lake, and if the fish does not bite the hook, it only means that some people are too stupid to catch them; The part-time chief of staff has caught a fish, and it won't be too late to come back again.

But no matter what Ada said, or stuffed the fishing rod into Grindelwald's arms, this bad old man just refused to take the fishing rod, and just looked at Ada with the eyes of a fool.

Every time I see this look, Ida can't wait to fill up the lake behind the castle.

Afternoon and night are the truce periods between Grindelwald and Ada. During this time, the two play their own games without interfering with each other.

Grindelwald always locked himself upstairs, alone, not knowing what he was doing.So did he when he first visited Nurmengard.

Ada would practice magic outdoors, hidden deep in the mountains, no Muggles would come over, and wizards would not be seen, no matter how much noise she made, no one would care.

Quiet and thinking about moving, sometimes Ada will go down the mountain to visit the nearby towns, or chat with the villagers in the small village at the foot of the mountain.

There are no animals in the mountains, and the mountain road leading to Nurmengard is already full of wild flowers.

If Ada wins Grindelwald in the fight, she will pick wild flowers and weave a garland for herself while humming the old tune in a good mood.There are already seven or eight garlands on the shelves in the suite, and these garlands are enough to illustrate her achievements.

But everything in the world will not be diverted from Ada, and will not stagnate because of her practice in the mountains.

In Ada's life, she is a well-deserved protagonist, the c position.In other people's lives, she is just a supporting role, or simply a passerby who plays tricks.

On this day, Ada made another garland, embellished in yellow and white, which is playful and lively.Ada was walking around in the castle with great vigor, and Grindelwald's nose was almost crooked.

The two had just quarreled about how to destroy the Horcrux.

Grindelwald thinks that the Fiercefire Curse is enough to destroy the Horcrux, while Ada thinks that the Fiercefire Curse is too wasteful, as long as the soul fragments in the Horcrux are destroyed.

There was no winner or loser in this debate. Both of them were right, but Ida couldn't hold back.She directly turned into a female boxer, and Bang Bang gave Grindelwald two punches, and this was the scene where she showed off in front of the Dark Lord.

But before Ada was happy, she sensed that someone was coming outside through the magic circle of the castle.

"Your bearded friend is here." Grindelwald said, he spoke very seriously, which was not at all the same as the usual quarrel.This is Nurmengard, and Grindelwald can sense far more things than Ada.

Sergey had already been here once in the morning, and all the things that should be delivered have been delivered.

It was afternoon, and there were dark clouds outside the window, and there might be a heavy rain at some point, but Sergey appeared outside the castle for the second time in a day, so something urgent must have happened.

"I gonna go see."

After throwing down a word hastily, Ada rushed out of the castle without even taking off the childish garland on her head.

Walking out of the castle in one breath, Ada saw Sergey on the platform in front of the castle.The bearded friend looked very anxious, walking back and forth in the open space in front of the door with his hands behind his back.

"What happened?"

Seeing Ada coming out, Sergey immediately went up to meet her and said, "An unexpected situation happened in Yinglun, please don't get excited, stay calm, and stay rational."

"I will." Ada adjusted her breathing.

In her opinion, the accident might have something to do with the twins, or the Weasleys, otherwise Sergey wouldn't be like this.

"It's Professor McGonagall, something happened to Minerva McGonagall." Sergey said in a deep voice, watching Ada's face while talking.

Ada tore off the wreath from her head, threw it on the ground, and said coldly, "Go on."

It turned out that Dolores Umbridge led people to raid Hagrid's cabin last night, trying to drive Hagrid out of school while it was dark.Professor McGonagall went to stop him alone, but was wounded by Umbridge and others, and was hit with four stun spells.

"How is the person?" Ada's voice trembled uncontrollably, worry and anger coexisted.

"I haven't woken up yet." Sergey said, "Maybe I'm already awake now."

Ada looked up at the serious bearded face, and said, "Don't comfort me, Professor McGonagall is at this age... four stun spells, you and I both know what this means."

What it meant Sergey naturally knew.Four stun spells hit one person at the same time, even if the person was a strong man, it would be uncomfortable, let alone an old lady like Minerva McGonagall.

The other party has no scruples when they strike, and may even be rushing to kill people.

"Two things," Ada said. "One, write a letter to my family. I need someone I can trust. Two, pack up your things immediately, and we'll go to Scotland."

After speaking, Ada turned back to the castle directly, without giving Sergey any chance to refute her decision.Sergey would not do this either, and after seeing Ada enter the castle, he also hurried down the mountain.

After entering the castle, Ada hurried upstairs without any tidying up, and stuffed all her things into her bag.Then, Ada knocked on Grindelwald's door with her bag.

"Going?" Grindelwald asked after opening the door.

"It's urgent to leave." Ada said, "I have one more question, the last one."

Grindelwald looked at Ada's anxious face, and he guessed what the last question was.Grindelwald said, "Ask, and I'll answer."

"What's it like to go on a killing spree?" Ada asked.

"Nothing special," Grindelwald replied directly. "Do you feel bad when you crush an ant?"

Ada shook her head. Humans don't shed tears over the death of an ant, nor do they have any special feelings, at most they think it's dirty.

"Killing an ant is not much different from killing a group of ants," Grindelwald continued, "unless you are very noble, very noble. But... Esmeralda Drizzt , are you such a person?"
