The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 609 Sincere Apology

Hearing this, Dumbledore also looked at Ada beside him. He knew the intelligence of his student, but he was always surprised.

"Yes, the black gemstone on the ring is the Resurrection Stone." Dumbledore said, "The Resurrection Stone in the Deathly Hallows."

"The Elder Wand from Grindelwald, the resurrection stone from Gaunt's old house, Harry's ancestral invisibility cloak." Ada said while counting with her fingers, "Although you don't have them all at the same time, you can count them all Three Deathly Hallows."

Although Dumbledore did not own three Hallows at the same time, he had at most two at the same time (the Elder Wand and the Invisibility Cloak/Resurrection Stone), but it can be regarded as unprecedented.

Since the story of the three Peverell brothers spread, the concept of the Deathly Hallows appeared for the first time. For thousands of years, no one can hold three Deathly Hallows at the same time.

This conclusion can be drawn from the reverse deduction of who owns the sacred artifact.

The Invisibility Cloak had been passed on to the Potter family before, and Dumbledore had borrowed it from James.After Harry entered school, the principal returned the Invisibility Cloak to Zhao.

That is to say, except for the years when Dumbledore temporarily kept the Invisibility Cloak, it was in the hands of Ignotus' descendants.

The Resurrection Stone has always been kept by the Gaunt family, descendants of Cadmus.It wasn't until Voldemort made it into a Horcrux that it fell into the hands of outsiders (Dumbledore).

Among the Deathly Hallows, only the Elder Wand has been displaced. Since Antioch was killed, the owner of the Elder Wand has been constantly changing.Its bloody trail has been splattered throughout the history of magic, and every wizard who has possessed it has come to a bad end.

I won't mention the wizards who are too old, just talk about this century.

The wand master Gregovich fell into the hands of Voldemort, and his life and death are unknown; Grindelwald was imprisoned in the tower for half a century, and died alone.Now the old wand is still in the hands of Dumbledore, so he has not been affected by bad luck, and he has temporarily avoided "fate".

"When you look at things, you always have a different angle." Dumbledore blinked. "If other people know, they will definitely feel sorry for me."

Ada walked back and forth by the lake with her hands behind her back. She said, "I don't think so. They don't feel sorry for you, but think about how to take the holy artifact from you. Rob, steal, cheat, Do whatever it takes.”

"You are standing in front of me now," said Dumbledore, "how are you going to take them?"

Ada stopped pacing, she stared fixedly at the lake, and the slightly blurred reflection in the lake was her answer.

She said softly, "I'm different from them. The Deathly Hallows is just a useless foreign object to me."

In the legend, the Elder Wand is powerful and is a wand that will never lose, but in fact it is the wand with the most defeats.The Elder Wand is defeated for each master change.

To become invisible, Ada can use the Disillusionment Charm, which she mastered in first grade.Although it cannot completely replace the role of the invisibility cloak, it is enough for Ada.Besides, why use the invisibility cloak to sneak around, wouldn't it be obvious!

The resurrection stone is even more of a joke, it can't really resurrect people in the story, so what's the use of it in reality!

Does "resurrecting" a person you miss make yourself more miserable?Instead of keeping the resurrection stone for yourself and playing yourself as a severe depression, it is better to give it to the enemy, which may have an unexpected effect.

The three Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand is still somewhat useful, and it really improves the wizard.It's just that no matter how strong a wand is, it's not as strong as a wizard. It's just a tool that can only be held by a wizard forever.

"When I was your age, I was full of longing for the Deathly Hallows." Dumbledore looked up at the sky, and the clouds in the sky seemed to remind him of the old days in Godric's Hollow.

Dumbledore moved his feet, slowly left the water, and found a big rock to lean on.

The principal said: "I am really happy to see that you will not be confused by the appearance of the legend. Sorry, I still treat you as a student habitually, always preaching to you, but forget...you are not a student for a long time gone."

These words are a bit sad, it doesn't seem to come from Dumbledore, but from those old people who often feel that their years are gone.

In fact, Dumbledore had gray hair many years ago, but the entire wizarding world ignored this.

Ada looked at Dumbledore, and she found that the originally tall and thin headmaster of Hogwarts seemed a little shorter than she thought.

Time is cruel, it rushes past human beings and never stops for anyone.Dumbledore is no longer able to frighten Voldemort with a burning wardrobe.

"A teacher for one day, a teacher for a lifetime." Ada said, her voice was very soft, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

Frost and snow on the temples always make people feel sad, reminiscent of their appearance when they are no longer beautiful.

She turned her back not to look at Dumbledore, appropriately amplified the volume, and continued: "Isn't this a common problem of teachers, they never completely forget what students were like back then."

The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind kept on. When the two were silently looking at the lake and the mountains, a gust of wind blew by, wrinkled the previously calm lake water, and stirred Dumbledore's gray beard and hair.

"Horcruxes, Deathly Hallows, your business is over." Dumbledore said, "Now it's time to talk about mine, Ada."

Ada straightened the broken hair in front of her forehead, and turned to face the principal again.Ada didn't know what the other party wanted to say, whether it was about Harry or Snape.

"If it's about Professor Snape, don't say it..."

Before Ada could finish speaking, Dumbledore raised his hand to signal her to stop.

"It has nothing to do with Severus." Dumbledore said solemnly, "I want to apologize to you again. Since the day you came to Hogwarts, I seem to have said sorry to you many times."

Indeed, Foley in first year, Glover Cecil in second, the rift between the two in third.

Since then, Dumbledore has been making up the relationship between the two, but the return of Voldemort and the disturbance of the Ministry of Magic made the pair of master and apprentice gradually drift away.

Dumbledore straightened his waist away from the big rock, and he slowly stood opposite Ada. The distance between the two was just right.

"Young people don't know what older people think or how they feel. This is normal, because they have never been this age, so they can't empathize with them." Dumbledore said, "But if you go to People who are old forget what it was like to be young, and that's a big mistake."

"What do you want to say." Ada said, Dumbledore's sincere eyes made her feel that something was unusual, and she seemed to be in trouble.

"All along, I have ignored a lot of your feelings, and I didn't care about your thoughts, and I went my own way." Dumbledore said, "So, I want to say sorry to you here."

Ada waved her hand. Things have become what they are today, and there is nothing to be redeemed by apologizing. It is nothing more than making each other feel better.

"However, as a centenarian, I still have some willful capital." Dumbledore changed the subject and continued, "So I will make this mistake again and dissuade you regardless of your feelings."

Saying that, Dumbledore pulled out the elder wand, the legendary invincible old wand, a bloody wand.
