The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 533 The Beginning Is Always Difficult

The village of Ottery-St Catchpole is in Devon, on the banks of the River Otter.On the other side of this small village, apart from a few small hills, there is a beautiful mountain called Ferret Mountain.

Ada, who left the foothold, was standing on the halfway up the Ferret Mountain. Her eyes carefully searched the small hill opposite, but she didn't see the crooked Burrow.

At the foot of Ferret Mountain, someone began to climb the mountain. It was Cedric Diggory who had just graduated.He was wearing a set of casual clothes, with a dignified expression on his face.

After all, the mountain road has an end, and Cedric, who walked slowly, still walked halfway up the mountain, and saw Ada sitting on a tree stump.

Cedric didn't say hello, and neither did Ida, just like two strangers, and the only sound on Ermine Mountain was the wind blowing through the treetops.

"I thought you weren't coming, Seid. When the sun rises to the middle of the sky, if you don't come, I will go back." Ada broke the awkward silence. She was the one who made an appointment, so naturally she should She spoke first.

Cedric looked up at the sun in the sky. Today's weather is a little cloudy, and the sun is a little dim.

He said in a sleepy tone, "I thought I was walking slowly enough, but I was still early. That's right, I don't really want to see you."

"But you still went to the appointment." Ada was not surprised by this, "Can you tell me what made you change your decision?"

"I'm here to meet my partner at school, to meet the head girl, not a murderer." Cedric stared at the ground, as if interested in the bugs on the ground.

Ada smiled, and she said: "Deceive yourself, Seid. You know very well in your heart that the murderer you speak of is your partner at Hogwarts, the president of the school's female student union."

Cedric was silent, kicking the stones next to his feet once and for all.

"Did you know that my father was there the night the Ministry laid siege to the abandoned manor," Cedric said, "and he almost died."

Ada didn't know about this matter. There were many Ministry of Magic employees in the abandoned manor that night, and she couldn't figure it out alone.And the large-scale magic that Ada launched could not automatically distinguish between friend and foe, not to mention that the employees of the Ministry of Magic that night had no friends.

"Sorry, I'm a bit harsh." Ada said, there was no sense of apology in her words.

In fact, Ada could impress Cedric by pretending to be guilty, but she didn't bother to do that.Even though Cedric's attitude is very subtle now, Ada still treats Cedric as a friend.

"No." Cedric said coldly.

Cedric is a smart man, and he also learned about the situation that night from his father, and Ada had no choice.But even so, he couldn't accept Ada's behavior, his father almost died!
As if some words were not speculative, Cedric continued: "Say what you have to say!"

That's what I said, but the inside and outside of the words are telling Ada, you finish speaking quickly, so I can reject you quickly.

"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point." Ada said, "I need your help. To be clear, I need the help of you and your father. I hope that I can use the help of officials from the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Diggory. identity……"

Ada didn't finish her sentence.

"My father?" Cedric asked, "I've always been very happy to know you and appreciate your help, but...but we father and son have no interest in joining your noble cause, and we don't want to make murder our own. cause!"

Cedric was a man of integrity, a good man, and a brave man.His kindness made him unable to accept Ada's killing, and his bravery made him dare to face Ada alone and refuse Ada's solicitation.

Not everyone likes to kill, not everyone agrees with Ida's approach, and not everyone can be as cruel as Glover Cecil.

In Ada's eyes, other people's lives are worthless, as light as a feather; in the eyes of Cedric, who just walked out of school, life is precious, and it is a sin to deprive others of their lives at will.

In a word, Ada's hands are bloody now, but Cedric's hands are clean.The essence of the differences between the two is the difference in three views and the difference in life experiences.

If Cedric was put in Ada's place, he would be like Ada.

"That's such a pity, I thought you would at least listen to what I had to say before rejecting me." Ada said with a smile, "After all, we are friends."

Cedric said stiffly, "It used to be."

"Okay, it used to be." Ada said, "I didn't intend to whitewash myself in the magic world, nor did I intend to pretend to be wronged and sympathetic in front of you. I really need the help of your father and son."

"I need to have my own voice in the Ministry of Magic, which will be more advantageous for me," Ada continued, "so I thought of you, Mr. Diggory. Your father is an official of the Ministry of Magic, and you With excellent grades, getting into the Ministry of Magic is no problem."

Cedric didn't know how many times he showed a painful expression today. He said, "I really want to help you, because we are friends. But I can't be your accomplice, and I don't want my hands to be stained with the blood of strangers."

"Blood is never shed in vain, especially the blood of wizards." Ada said, "All the blood shed today is for a beautiful new world, a new world where everyone is like a dragon."

The magic society has never been fair, and relative fairness is already very rare.A completely fair magical world only exists in fantasy. Such a world is Utopia, an ideal land that can never be reached.

Ada isn't that great, she doesn't want to build a fair new world, just capitalize on this wonderful vision.Although it is used, but after Ada's success, the magic world will also move in this direction.

At the very least, it will be better than the current bad magic world.

"For this goal, do you not hesitate even to kill?" Cedric asked in a trembling voice, "Do you not regret being a bloody executioner?"

Ada, who was sitting on the tree stump, stood up. She looked Cedric in the eyes and said, "Everything is for the greater good. I think you should have heard this sentence, Ced."

Ada raised her head to look at the sky, and the sun had already risen to the sky.She went on: "I should go, Seid, you can take your time to think about it. Killing is inevitable, but not everyone has to be bloody."

After speaking, Ada didn't stay any longer, and went down the mountain lightly.

Only Cedric was left alone, staring at the swaying treetops, and Ada's last words seemed to be still in his ears.

"My invitation always counts, Seid. Don't care what I say, and listen to your inner guidance."

……

Meanwhile, in an office in the Ministry of Magic, Piers Thicknesse was working.

There was a large stack of parchments piled on the table, all of which were the activities of Voldemort and the Death Eaters in recent days, some were true and some were false.The most wanted man, Ada, was honest and did not cause trouble to the Ministry of Magic, but Voldemort would not let the Ministry of Magic worry.

There was a knock on the door, but Thicknesse said loudly without raising his head, "Come in!"

The office door opened, and a witch in her twenties walked in, holding a stack of parchment in her arms.

Seeing the stack of parchment, Thinknis rubbed his condensed brows away.He said, "Isabelle, any new developments regarding the murder of Emmeline Vance?"

"Sorry, no, Mr. Deputy Director." The witch called Isabel replied.She was Shinkness's secretary, a capable secretary.

Thinknes took the parchment with a little irritability, and waved Isabel to leave.

The young and beautiful witch retreated obediently, but she was stopped by Sinkenis just after taking two steps.

"You're not Isabel, who are you?" Thickness asked, pointing his wand at Isabel who was slowly turning around.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Thicknesse, I'm not here to assassinate you." Isabel said, she raised her hands to indicate that she didn't have a weapon in her hand, and she didn't mean to hurt Thicknesse.

The fake Isabel said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Lola Fournier, from the French Rozier family."
