The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 367 Questions in My Heart

In the long history of the Triwizard Tournament, Hogwarts is the school that has won the most championships, followed by Beauxbatons. However, Durmstrang, which has always taught dark magic and sounds very tough, is ranked last.

As the headmaster of Hogwarts and the host, Dumbledore naturally did not want Hogwarts to lose the championship. Without Ada, the competition would have been left to chance, and we would have trusted the students to perform well. But with Ada, it was like locking the victory.

Do you think Dumbledore is stupid for having such an advantage but not using it?
As Dumbledore said, no matter how incredible and unreasonable Ada's strength was, she was only in the sixth grade when school started, and she still had two years to graduate. She was a student of Hogwarts, and there was no doubt about that.

Even if Madam Maxime and Karkaroff are dissatisfied, this is my student of Hogwarts, so what! If you have the ability, you can also draw such an SSR! Pinching waist jpg...

When the competition officially starts and Madame Maxime and Karkaroff see Aida's strength, their expressions will definitely be very interesting.

Madame Maxime would be heartbroken, after all, Ada now lives so close to Beauxbatons, and several of Ada's cousins ​​are also students of Beauxbatons. Karkaroff would also be heartbroken, because Louis was once an outstanding graduate of Durmstrang.

Both schools can be related to Ada, but in the end, Hogwarts got the upper hand, a school that has nothing to do with Ada. There is no way, because Jessica is British, Louis went to Britain, and Ada was born in Britain!
The world is so unpredictable that it makes people sigh from time to time that fate is playing tricks on people...

After listening to Dumbledore's introduction and his request, Ada's mind began to work rapidly. The Triwizard Tournament seemed to be getting somewhere, and she just wanted to do something to change the status quo. The competition was held again. It was like someone gave her a pillow just because she wanted to take a nap!

Although she was very happy, Ada did not show it on her face. Instead, she pretended to be very embarrassed. After thinking carefully about her words, Ada said, "Professor, you know that Durmstrang is my father's alma mater, and Beauxbatons is..."

"Don't say anything more," Dumbledore interrupted Ida, "Just be direct and tell me what you want to do."

Ada's train of thought was indeed different from that of ordinary people, and even Dumbledore couldn't grasp it. But the headmaster knew Ada's personality, and she didn't care about those two schools. Her current embarrassment was completely fake, and she must be thinking a lot in her mind.

No matter how cunning the hunter is, he can never beat a good fox!
"Many of Beauxbatons' students are my brothers and sisters, relatives, and beloved brothers..." Ada suppressed her joy and tried to sound very sad. "It costs more!"

After hearing this, Dumbledore dropped the fork in his hand onto the table, leaned back on his chair, and spread his hands. What he meant was: You already live in a garden like this, and you tell me to pay more, what are you thinking?
Ada Grandet Drizzt did not intend to cosplay as the monk who added money. She just subconsciously wanted to blackmail Dumbledore. But after thinking for a long time, Ada could not think of what she could get from Dumbledore.

Ada does not need wealth. The wealth in this world is just a string of empty numbers. As long as you are strong enough, wealth will come to you naturally. As for power, what others give you is never as good as what you get or snatch yourself. If others can give you power, they can naturally take it back. As for magic, what Ada needs now is thinking, not the accumulation of spells, which is often called enlightenment.

After worrying for a long time, Ada finally said something she wanted, which was not excessive but something she really needed. She said, "I want to be the Head Girl, right now!"

The position of student union president is usually held by seventh graders, such as recent graduates Percy and Penelope, who held this position in their seventh grade.

Dumbledore was surprised to hear this condition. He thought Ada would ask for his personal guidance! Dumbledore had already made his attitude clear and was ready to accept Ada's high request. But this was the result?

Dumbledore had originally chosen Ada and Cedric Diggory for the position of Student Union President, just one year earlier and one year later. This position would have been in Ada's pocket sooner or later, so why was he in such a hurry? Besides being obsessed with money, was he also obsessed with power?
Dumbledore looked at Ada, with a more and more probing look in his eyes. The headmaster probably wanted to say: I really don't understand you!
The inquiring gaze was a little hot, which made Ada feel a little uncomfortable. She looked down at her clothes, thinking that a button was buttoned in the wrong place.

"Is this your only request?" Dumbledore finally withdrew his gaze. "You only have this one chance. After today, I won't acknowledge anything I said."

Hints, strong hints, but Ada nodded as if she didn't understand. Ada was very interested in Dumbledore's past, such as him and Grindelwald, such as him and Voldemort. But these were Dumbledore's privacy, and Ada would not explore other people's privacy in this way.

"The badge will be delivered with your supplies list for next term." Dumbledore did not go on to hint that the headmaster would try to guide others and give them the opportunity to choose, but would rarely force others.

In the eyes of many people, Ada is a childish person who acts at will and does things with a strong sense of purpose and utilitarianism, but this is not the case in Dumbledore's view.

In Dumbledore's view, Ada is a person who knows her limits and sticks to her own inner principles.

If Ada is determined not to do something, she will never go beyond the line; if she is determined to do something, no one can stop her unless she dies.

The two of them finished their desserts in silence. After the desserts were removed, Ada couldn't help but ask, "Professor, are you ready to face the darkness?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "There is never any complete preparation for darkness. When darkness comes, you will find that your previous preparations are far from enough."

"Is there really no way for us to find him in advance?" Ida asked, "We should nip the darkness in the bud before it comes."

It's better to take precautions than to strike first. It doesn't matter what you say. The current passive defense and waiting for darkness to fall made Ada a little unhappy.

"No, I have been looking for him, but I have found nothing." Dumbledore shook his head again. "Tom is a genius. He has never received help from me or Gellert on his way to growth, but he has done better than you."

"Ada, he has become stronger and stronger, stronger than the last time you saw him. I think you know what this means." Dumbledore continued, "All we can do is to make as many preparations as possible to deal with his return again."

Although we didn't know where Tom was hiding, we knew he was getting stronger. So how did Dumbledore get the information? Ida suddenly thought of something. She lowered her voice and asked like a mosquito, "Professor Snape?"

Dumbledore nodded to confirm Ada's guess. The headmaster said, "I trust him. Even though he has many selfish motives, I still trust him. In major matters, he will never be as confused as he was this year."

"One last question, Professor." Ida asked again, "Why didn't Harry stay with Sirius and the others this summer, but returned to the Dursleys? They are really the worst Muggles I have ever seen."

"That's because the Dursleys are Harry's last relatives," Dumbledore said, without hiding anything. "Before Lily died, she left behind a very powerful ancient magic on Harry. This magic can protect Harry from harm from others. But in order to continue this protection, Harry must maintain the current connection with the Dursleys."

So the Dursleys' house is used to charge Harry! The Dursleys are human power banks!

No wonder, no wonder Dumbledore let Harry face Quirrell alone in Harry's first year. So that's why.
