The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 587 Legend
Where do wizards get their magical powers from?
The magic world has discussed this question for thousands of years. Some people say that magic comes from the soul, while others say that magic comes from the blood.

The Department of Mysteries has been researching the mysteries of the soul, but nothing has been gained.The dark wizards created the Horcruxes to slice the soul, but apart from the evil immortality, they also failed to prove that the magic comes from the soul.

Since the theory of soul has never been strongly proved, most people agree with the view that magic power comes from blood.This view is more intuitive and easy to observe, and some special bloodlines can also bring about extraordinary effects.

For example, Rubeus Hagrid has the blood of giants, which makes him tall, with high magic resistance, and thick skin; for example, Filius Flitwick has the blood of elves, which endows him with extremely high talents; For example, Fleur Delacour's Veela blood endowed her with beauty and talents beyond ordinary people.

It is precisely because of these visible bloodline inheritances that some people are proud of their bloodlines, making them look like racing horses and famous dogs.

The blood theory took shape and gradually evolved into today's chain of contempt: pure-blood family wizards > pure-blood wizards > half-blood wizards > Muggle-born wizards (mudbloods) > Muggles (including Squibs).

Even a wizard like Hermione who comes from a Muggle family can find traces of wizards in her family tree.It may be a wizard living in seclusion among Muggles, or it may be from a squib. In short, the power hidden in her blood has been reawakened in Hermione.

According to bloodline theory, whether a person can become a wizard is determined by his bloodline.The children of wizards are almost always wizards, and the children of pure Muggle blood are always Muggles.

It's hard to accept that if you want to become a wizard, you have no choice but to have a good pregnancy. Born equal seems like a joke.

After entering Hogwarts to study, based on the point of view of blood theory, Ada once looked through the school's student roster, trying to find her roots.But Louis was not a student of Hogwarts, and he would not have traveled all the way to Scotland to study since he grew up in France, so Ada had nothing to gain.

Later, the basilisk wounded people. In order to find the heir of Slytherin, Ada looked through the wizard genealogy she could find, and finally found Gaunt's head, the last blood of Slytherin.

When the intricate pedigree of the wizarding family was presented in front of Ada, she realized the constant and chaotic blood relationship between the wizarding families. Most of the wizarding families are relatives, some are far and some are close.

Just like the rows of tombstones in front of me, Doria Potter's surname before she married was Blake, and her name appeared in the genealogy of 12 Grimmauld Place.

There was another woman in the Blake family, Lucretia, who later married Ignatius Prewett.Mrs. Weasley's surname before marriage was Prewett, and Percy's Christian name is Ignatius. Do you think it's a coincidence?
Therefore, the British Wizarding War is nothing more than an internal strife between relatives, which is very similar to the war between Muggles in European history.

It is precisely because of consulting a large amount of information and clarifying the blood connections between wizard families that Ada was able to find clues about the Deathly Hallows.By chance, Ada discovered a crucial clue: a woman named Peverell married into the Potter family.

That was many, many, many years ago. Except for those who devoted themselves to studying the inheritance of wizard family genealogy, probably only idlers like Ada would be interested.

Ada's knowledge is all mixed up!Almost drowned in the ocean of knowledge.

Of course, it is not enough to just discover the connection between the two families. Many people regard the three Peverell brothers and the Deathly Hallows as legends, and even fewer people can think that the Deathly Hallows may be in the Potter family. and less.

Ada didn't realize this at first, until she talked about the Deathly Hallows with Grindelwald, until she knew the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter's hand, the ancestral invisibility cloak.

Isn't it a coincidence that Peverell married into the Potter family, the ancestral invisibility cloak, Godric's Hollow, and the tombstone of Ignotus!
Through these known clues, Ada concluded that Harry's invisibility cloak is Ignotus's invisibility cloak, which is one of the Deathly Hallows!That's why she said it was within reach when Fred asked.

It is not too easy to get the Invisibility Cloak from Harry. Harry himself has lost this treasure, and he has lost it more than once.

Ada deduced the whereabouts of the Invisibility Cloak by herself, and learned the whereabouts of the Elder Wand from Grindelwald.This means that Ada has found two Deathly Hallows, and only Cadmus' Resurrection Stone is still missing.

It's just that if you find it, you can find it, but Ada can't take these two treasures as her own.The Invisibility Cloak belonged to Harry, and Ada had no interest in snatching it; the Elder Wand was in Dumbledore's hands, and it was unlikely to be available in the short term.

As if entering Baoshan empty-handed, Ada found two Deathly Hallows, but it was no different from not finding them.Ada didn't know whether she should be happy or sad at the moment.

The twins felt the same way at the moment. The legendary Deathly Hallows was right in front of them, but they could only see it from a distance.

"Godric's Hollow, besides Ignotus and the Deathly Hallows, is there anything else that attracts you here?" George asked, trying to change the subject and ease the atmosphere of the cemetery.

There was no pot left unopened, and George just asked Ada what else she wanted to do.

According to George's understanding, it is impossible for her to travel all the way here to verify Ignotus's tombstone because she has the attributes of a house girl, and there must be other purposes.

"You are the roundworm in my stomach, George." Ada said, "It's just a tombstone, it can't escape, just find someone to take a look. I came to Godric's Hollow to see if there is any Gryffin Clues to many relics."

Salazar Slytherin had rings and lockets, Helga Hufflepuff had cups, Rowena Ravenclaw had diadems, and Godric Gryffindor had treasures.

There are two pieces in total, the tattered sorting hat and the sword made by goblins.

The sorting hat is in Hogwarts, stored in the headmaster's room, and will be taken out once a year when the school starts.And Gryffindor's sword hasn't been seen for many years, at least Ida hasn't heard of it.

Gryffindor's sword was made by goblins 1000 years ago. This sword is made of sterling silver, inlaid with rubies, and Godric Gryffindor's name is engraved on the bottom of the hilt.

With swords and sticks, magic and martial arts, you are worthy of it, Godric Gryffindor!
As a treasure handed down from Gryffindor, Voldemort must covet it and want to make the sword into a Horcrux, just like the ring and the gold cup.

As a student of Gryffindor College, Ada must not allow such a thing to happen, and strongly condemns this shameful wasteful behavior!

"Then did you find it?" Fred looked around in confusion.Forgive his blindness, he didn't notice anything along the way, and if Ada hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed Ignotus's tombstone either.

"No." Ada said helplessly, "I just wanted to give it a try and see if there are any clues left here."

Gryffindor's sword was born more than 1000 years ago, and it has appeared in history, and there are many legends about it.

Some say that this sword was stolen by Gryffindor from the maker Ragnac I, some say that the sword is hidden in Godric's Hollow, some say that the sword has been recovered and protected by the goblins, what kind of There are rumors.

There is another kind of legend, which is somewhat like King Arthur's sword in the stone. Legend has it that only real Gryffindors can find the sword.

This is also a situation that Ada hopes to happen the most. No matter what she thinks, Voldemort will not be the real Gryffindor, so the sword will not be made into a Horcrux.

If so, the only relic left of the Big Four is the Ravenclaw diadem.
