The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 569

As soon as the sharp question came out, the open space in front of the Hogwarts gate seemed to be paused, and even the night wind stopped making noise.

The silent friends looked at each other, not knowing what to say or what expression to make.Like Angelina, Alia, and Lee Jordan, the three of them were angry before, and were angry because of Dumbledore's obstruction.

In the eyes of these three, their good friend Katie is the victim, and Draco Malfoy is the perpetrator, and they are here to ask for an explanation and justice.

As a result, the principal they had always trusted stood on the side of the perpetrators and defended those who persecuted others.How can this not be angry!
Cedric's psychology is a bit complicated. Although the Ministry of Magic looks weak and helpless, and is always bullied by Voldemort, working in the Ministry is still very tempering.

In less than three months, Cedric lost his youthfulness and became more stable.In the Vanity Fair of the Ministry of Magic, Cedric had already seen the coldness and darkness of the human heart.

It can be said that Cedric was not surprised to see Dumbledore tonight, but he still couldn't hide his disappointment.I thought Hogwarts was a paradise, but who knows that the war will start here, and Dumbledore is not the Dumbledore he knew.

After seeing the Headmaster's "true face", part of the pillars supporting Cedric Diggory crumbled.At this moment, Cedric seemed to understand Ada's previous choice.

Only the twins, they were neither angry nor disappointed, and their reactions were flat.

As Ada's best friend, the twins clearly know her mental journey, how much she relied on Dumbledore in the past, and how distrustful she is now.The twins even knew that Ada was ready to run.

Because of this, the twins knew that the first gap between Ada and Dumbledore was because of Harry's appearance.

Dumbledore made his own choice between the stunningly talented Ada and the boy who lived in catastrophe, and Ada became the "first" person to be abandoned.

Tonight, Dumbledore just "abandoned" Katie, just as he once abandoned Ada.Draco Malfoy was the more important one now, and Katie was a minor figure who contributed very little to Dumbledore's overall plan.

The night wind became fierce again, blowing people's clothes and robes flying, blowing Dumbledore's beard and hair flying, and the withered yellow leaves were even blown to the ground.In the oppressive night sky, dark clouds began to gather, and it seemed that a downpour would fall at any moment.

"I will, if necessary," said Dumbledore.

The headmaster's voice trembled slightly, as if blown by the night's strong wind, and it seemed that there was reluctance in his heart.Despite Dumbledore's determination, his voice and his expression betrayed him.

Ada was noncommittal, and she asked: "What if the person who is going to be sacrificed is yourself? Can you still be so determined?"

Alive, in terms of universality, no one wants to be alive.Death may not be terrible, but who really wants to die if they can live?Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "It's better to live than to die".

This time Dumbledore's answer was quick, unlike before that he had considered for a long time.

Dumbledore said; "Death is just the beginning, another journey with an unknown end. You are very smart and know a lot, but you have more to learn, and it may take a lifetime."

"Although I don't want you to understand, it is really a painful thing." Dumbledore continued, "But cruel and merciless time will eventually teach you everything, whether you want it or not."

"Ridiculous!" Ada refuted loudly, she did not agree with Dumbledore's point of view.

Dumbledore's semantics are clear, and he can sacrifice himself if necessary.Ada believed this in her heart, but Ada couldn't agree with the principal's idea. Is it worth it?Is it not good to live?
"It's ridiculous, but worth it." Dumbledore said solemnly, "For the greater good, there is nothing that cannot be given up."

Decades ago, as Grindelwald's fame spread across the world, the slogan "For the Greater Good" became familiar.But few people know that the first person to say this is Dumbledore.

Just as many have forgotten that Voldemort's real name was Tom Riddle, people have forgotten where the slogan came from, only the horror it evoked.

does it worth?Ada asked herself.

She doesn't think it's worth it, why should she sacrifice herself for this cold world?Is it not being happy enough with friends, or the taste of Jin Gallon is not sweet enough?If Ada wanted to hide from the world without fighting, who could force her!
As long as you are alive, everything is clear and the world is lovely; if you die, then everything is gone, and no matter how good the world becomes, it has nothing to do with you.

This is the difference between Ada and Albus Dumbledore.Dumbledore is not only the chess player, but also puts himself on the chessboard, while Ada only wants to be the chess player, and does not sacrifice her self-awareness.

It has nothing to do with vision or heart, it's just that everyone sees the world from a different perspective.

Some people think the world is worth it and are willing to give their lives to make it a better place, while others think it's not worth it.

No matter what the purpose of the former is, they are noble, great, and worthy of being remembered by others.The latter cannot be regarded as wrong, they just value themselves more.

"Forgive me for not being able to understand your greatness." Ada said calmly, without changing her mind because of Dumbledore's words.

To be able to reach the heights she is today, Ada is naturally a person with a tough mind, and Dumbledore can't break it with just a few words.

"I'm a selfish person, so I still want to take Draco Malfoy away." Ada said, "He needs to pay for his actions."

Man is responsible for his sins because man is endowed with free will.The responsibilities that should be borne must be taken up, and the sins that should be redeemed must be atoned by themselves. This is true for everyone, including Malfoy and Ada.

It's just that this world is unfair after all. No one dares to ask about Ada's sins, and no one can force her to atone for her sins.But Malfoy is different, there are too many people who can persecute him, and he and his family are the inconspicuous dust in this world.

Albus Dumbledore, Voldemort, Esmeralda Drizzt, the Big Three in the British wizarding world focused their attention on Draco Malfoy at the same time. Master Malfoy did what his father did not thing.I don't know if this is his luck or his misfortune.

Dumbledore's tired face was even more tired. As the headmaster, Dumbledore hoped that Malfoy, who had gone astray, could turn around as soon as possible and turn his back on the wrong path, before he got into a deep trap.

But Malfoy didn't want to, so he chose Katie Bell without opening his eyes, and got himself into a lot of trouble.

Thousands of mistakes are Malfoy's fault, it's okay to provoke Harry Potter on weekdays, the saint Potter doesn't care about him.Now that this is the case, he still has to provoke the narrow-minded Ada. Isn't that because he thinks he didn't die fast enough?

To hand in or not to hand in, that is the question.

If Malfoy is handed over, I am afraid that Malfoy will have no chance to be a man again, and will disrupt Dumbledore's plan; if he does not hand over, even if Ada is blocked today, what about tomorrow?What about the day after tomorrow?

For Ada, Dumbledore still has some understanding. Although she has a bottom line in her heart, she has no lower limit in her actions.For the greater good, Ada also agrees with this sentence. If her wish is not fulfilled tonight, there will definitely be a large number of Aurors visiting later.

If Ada can do such a thing, maybe it will be directly published in the newspaper.The overall situation in Ada's heart is different from that of Dumbledore. Draco Malfoy is not a pawn, but an eyesore.
