The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 630
It was another bright morning, and the sun filled Nurmengard like in the past, but some people stayed in yesterday forever.

Gellert Grindelwald died just last night, after news of Albus Dumbledore's passing.Silently, it was not discovered by Vader until this morning.

Vader, who got up early, went to the highest room as before, trying to wake up Grindelwald.But what was waiting for Vader was not Grindelwald's response, but a cold corpse, an empty shell without a soul.

The once high head hangs low in this ordinary morning.

The brand new clothes were put on by Grindelwald himself, as if he knew his time was approaching, he tidied himself up and sat on the chair in front of the narrow window, facing the distance, calmly welcoming the arrival of death.

Just as he accepted Dumbledore's death with ease.

Both my love and I perish on a tower.This is Ada's first feeling after seeing Grindelwald's body.

One taught and educated people, and finally died on the top of the astronomy tower in Hogwarts; the other lived half his life, and finally died in Nurmengard's prison.

Vader tidied up his lover's face for the last time, and then let Ada carry Grindelwald's body out and put it on the clean stone platform outside.

The sunshine outside the castle was exceptionally bright, teasing the sad people to their heart's content.

Gellert Grindelwald, once the most dangerous dark wizard in history, was the first Dark Lord who swept across Europe and America. Now he is just a corpse, and only Vader and Ada attended his funeral.

No eulogy, nothing, nothing but simplicity, Vader and Ida stand in silence, saying a final goodbye to Grindelwald.

For Ada, Grindelwald is neither a cold name in the history of magic, nor an evil Dark Lord.When Ida was most confused, it was Grindelwald who woke her up. When Ada couldn't find the way, it was Grindelwald who pointed out the way to the top of the mountain.

Everyone in the world can scold Gellert Grindelwald, but Ada can't.

The title of "Witch Cui" given by the system is no longer eye-catching, because she has already inherited that sentence - for the greater good.

Vader raised his wand when the farewell was over, and the bright flame instantly ignited.The flames jumped higher and higher, distorting the morning light and swallowing the coffin where Grindelwald's body was placed.

The flames blazed, hoping that the flames would wash away his sins and light up another adventure for him.I also hope that in that adventure, Grindelwald will no longer be alone.

The burning flames gradually extinguished, and Vader walked towards the stone platform with a wooden box in his arms, and picked Grindelwald's ashes into the wooden box with pain and sorrow.Nurmengard without summer is too cold and lonely to be Grindelwald's burial place.

After dealing with all the matters of Nurmengard, Ada left Austria, and Vader would go to Hogwarts with her.Without Gellert Grindelwald, this castle surrounded by mountains, Ada might not come back for a long time.

Because of the old Vader accompanying her, Ada couldn't come as fast as when she came, and couldn't be a woman like the wind.So when the two arrived at the school, it was already the morning of Dumbledore's funeral.

It's a pleasant summer day. Hogsmeade, which has been deserted for a year, seems to have taken on new life. A large group of wizards have poured into the village these few days, making it difficult to find a bed here. extremely difficult.

These wizards were all here to see Dumbledore off for the last time. Some of them were neat and decent, some were in rags; some were old and some were young.They stood on the streets of Hogsmeade early, waiting to enter, to see Dumbledore for the last time.

The street was occupied by people seeing off, and it was crowded and difficult to move. Vader hugged the wooden box that never left him even tighter, for fear that he would be bumped to the ground by the crowd.

Vader didn't cry because of Grindelwald's departure, she just talked less.If he asked about it, Vader would only say that he was a little tired from the long-distance travel, and it didn't bother him.

Ada didn't know whether she buried her grief in her heart, or she also took death lightly.

Passing through the crowded crowd and the Aurors guarding the school gate, Vader and Ada walked towards the Black Lake.Albus Dumbledore would be buried there.

The place where the funeral was held is easy to identify, there are hundreds of chairs neatly arranged, and anyone who is not blind can see it.There was an aisle between the chairs, and in front of it stood a marble table, towards which all the chairs were directed.

At this time, there was no one in the venue, and Vader, who was carrying the wooden box, went straight to the marble table. She stood in front of the table for a long time, until the wizards outside the school entered the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of the Aurors.

Vader walked back to his granddaughter with empty hands, and she left the wooden box by the marble table.Vader seemed to have suddenly relaxed, she said with a smile: "I think he will like it here."

Hogwarts has mountains and water, and the scenery is pleasant. It is a good place to rest the soul, and it is also a place full of magic.The most important point is that there is Dumbledore here.

Nurmengard was too far away from Hogwarts, and the towering towers couldn't see the land across the strait. It would be too cruel to leave Grindelwald there alone.

So Ada had this bad idea to bury Grindelwald next to Dumbledore's grave, after all, they were so close.

More and more people entered the venue, and the quiet venue gradually became the sound of conversation.

Among these people, Ada saw many familiar faces: members of the Order of the Phoenix were here, and Remus Lupine and Tonks were indeed in love, and they were holding hands; the old customers of the Leaky Cauldron Bar There were quite a few, too, and old Tom rarely changed into new clothes; most of the shopkeepers in Diagon Alley came, and Fred and George mixed in, the two of them wearing black dragon leather jackets.

In addition, Ada also saw Aberforth in the crowd.He was very inconspicuous in the crowd, no one knew his relationship with Professor Dumbledore, and no one knew that he had broken Professor Dumbledore's nose.

As if sensing Ada's gaze, Aberforth also looked at Ada, his eyes were the same blue as Dumbledore's.

Looking at those extremely similar eyes, Ada seemed to see the wise Professor Dumbledore again.Not daring to look any further, Ada hastily turned her head away from Aberforth's gaze.

When the sun rose a little more, the students walked out of the castle under the leadership of the professor, and lined up to the lake, barely making a sound.

Not only wizards will mourn the great Albus Dumbledore, the centaur in the Forbidden Forest, the mermaid at the bottom of the Black Lake, they are also saddened by Dumbledore's passing.

The mermaids sang their sorrows, and the centaurs expressed their respect with the arrows they shot into the sky.The elegy of Phoenix also sounded again.

When the dazzling white flames burned out, the marble table became a white tomb, enclosing Dumbledore's body, along with Grindelwald's ashes.

With the passing away of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, an era came to an end, and the ups and downs of the century were buried in white graves.From the summer in Godric's Hollow to burying their bones next to each other, they were finally together again after being alone for a century.

100 years ago, you were not you, and I was not me; 100 years later, there will be neither you nor me.

People will remember Albus Dumbledore, and they will remember Gellert Grindelwald.But people will only remember that Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, but they will not remember that they had a brilliant summer together.
