The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 601: Love Story of the Elderly Group
I can't bear to part with you, so I said goodbye in advance, while both of us are still healthy and have the energy to argue.

Ada left Scotland overnight and returned to London. She did not take the murderer Theodore Nott with her, and she was too lazy to even take a look at him.

Even if Theodore is taken away tonight, another Donodo will appear tomorrow, just like when Master Malfoy is taken away, the task will fall on Nott.

If you want to be merciful, then be merciful. This is not the first time Dumbledore has shown his mercy. Anyway, Ada didn't want to feel the headmaster's compassion again. She felt that she would be so angry that her stomach would hurt.

If Dumbledore had been tough and inviolable from the beginning, perhaps he would have avoided many detours, and perhaps Snape would not have had to face such a life-and-death choice.

Ada had some complaints about Dumbledore. Sometimes she would blame herself, thinking that she had acted too impulsively, and that she had acted so openly and brazenly when she could have done so in a more covert way.

I blame myself, but never regret.

After returning to the Ministry, Ada often still felt a little depressed. Although they were in two different places, she always thought that there were people in Hogwarts waiting for death and waiting for their destined fate.

With the idea of ​​out of sight, out of mind, Ada decided to leave England temporarily to relax.

It just so happens that there hasn't been any major events in the department recently. With the help of Laura and others, Thicknesse should be able to handle it, and Ada can leave without worry.

After packing up, Ada crossed the English Channel back to France, and Rose Manor was her first stop.

Ada thought she would see her grandmother at home, but Vida's mind seemed to be wandering, and she was not at home at all.

Daniel, who stayed behind, told Ada that Vida had come back before Christmas, but left again after staying for less than two days, and took the house-elf Agnes with him.

I don’t know who I’m going to see; I don’t know where I’m going; I don’t know when I’ll be back.

Faced with Daniel who didn't know anything, Ada felt that her blood pressure might have soared to over 200. Did my grandmother run away from home?
With such doubts, Ada set off again. She only stayed in the manor for one night, which was even shorter than Vida's stay.

After crossing Switzerland, Ida arrived at the second stop of her journey - Austria. This was not a planned stop. Ida originally wanted to stop in Versailles and then go straight to Albania, but she changed her mind temporarily and went to Nurmengard instead.

Ada has been to Nurmengard three times elegantly, and this is her fourth time here. Each time she has a different mentality and gains different insights.

But this time the feeling is a little different.

The jet-black castle still stands alone among the mountains, with its sword-like towers piercing straight into the sky. If you stand on the top of the tower and look into the distance, you don’t know how far you can see.

The castle and the tower were still the same castle and the tower, but Ada felt something was odd, a little different from before. She couldn't figure out what was wrong, she just felt something was odd.

With this thought in mind, Ada walked on the rugged mountain road. It was not until she arrived at the platform in front of the castle gate that she realized something was wrong - all the broken windows of the castle had been repaired!
The erosion of time has made Nurmengard dilapidated. It is hard to tell that it was once the palace of the Dark Lord and the ruling center. In short, it is leaky everywhere. This time, the castle cannot be said to be brand new, but it has been repaired.

Just when Ada was wondering if she had come to the wrong place, the house-elf Agnes walked out of the door and enthusiastically pulled the confused Ada into the castle to experience its former magnificence.

Shining armor stood by the wall, like guards guarding the palace; the moth-eaten carpets were gone, and the tapestries on the walls were replaced with new ones. The clean and spotless interior of the castle strengthened Ada's suspicion that she had come to the wrong place.

If Ada hadn't seen the familiar Agnes, she would have run away by now. This is too scary!
Agnes led the way, and Ada followed behind, her legs trembling. How could she not understand that her grandmother chose Nurmengard as her final destination after meeting old friends, and she was not running away from home at all.

Someone slowly walked down the stairs. It was Vida, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. She was in good spirits. One glance at her showed her deep joy. Her face was red and her hair was white, but she looked charming.

No matter how old you are, you will look like a child in front of the one you love. This is the case with Vida now. She is indeed a child in front of Grindelwald. Aida's rapid growth allows Vida to put everything aside and run to the one she loves. Although it is a one-way rush, love is uncalculated and unrequited.

Grindelwald followed behind, looking very old. He was dressed neatly by Vader, but his clean and tidy clothes could not hide his old age. Compared with the last time they met, Grindelwald seemed to have aged a lot.

Grindelwald, who was in a gloomy mood, sat down without saying a word. Vida walked to Ada, took her hand and looked at her carefully.

"You've lost some weight." Vida said, "That's why I asked Laura to take care of you. She knows how to take care of you."

After speaking a few simple words to her grandmother, Ada walked up to Grindelwald and stood there for a moment, not knowing how to call out to him.

If you say you call her the principal's wife, the story between the two of them is full of tears, and you are also worried that your grandmother will be sad; if you say he is your grandmother's second partner, Gaocun Yizhihua will probably be unhappy, and the old man in front of her will not recognize her, and her grandmother will be even more sad.

Dilemma.

"Long time no see, Grindelwald." After hesitating for a long time, Ada finally used the usual address instead of Gellert.

Grindelwald simply raised his hand as a greeting.

The warm sunlight shone through the window onto Grindelwald. He closed his eyes comfortably, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Why did you come here so suddenly? Did you encounter any difficulties?" Vida asked. While she was talking to Ada, she took care of Grindelwald who was taking a nap and covered him with a soft and comfortable blanket. The weather in the mountains was still a little cold.

"I found the whereabouts of the Deathly Hallows." Ada said, she didn't know why she came here. This stop in Nurmengard was not in the plan, she just passed by and came to take a look.

"The Deathly Hallows?" Vida was very surprised. That was what Grindelwald had been looking for. Vida naturally knew how difficult it was to find that thing.

Grindelwald also opened his eyes and looked at Ada. There was no surprise in his eyes, and his reaction was unexpectedly calm, as if he had never pursued the Deathly Hallows, and as if these things were no longer important to him.

"Antioch's Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hands, as you know," Ada said. "Ignotus's Invisibility Cloak is in Harry Potter's hands, and his family is a descendant of Ignotus."

The Potter family is a very famous family in the wizarding world. Harry's grandfather, Fremont Potter, invented the hair smoothing spray, which quadrupled the family's wealth. Harry's great-grandfather, Henry Potter, was a famous member of the Wizengamot. Harry's name should be in honor of him. The family also has another famous member of the Wizengamot, Ralston Potter, who served as the Wizengamot from 1612 to 1652.

This is a family whose history can be regarded as a history of magic, but now only Harry is left.

Maybe Harry has distant relatives in the Beautiful Country. After all, Abraham, one of the first twelve Aurors of the Magical Congress, was named Potter.

This long-standing family has always regarded the Invisibility Cloak as a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. This Invisibility Cloak is a treasure inherited by Hadwin Potter's wife from her natal family. His wife is Iolanthe Peverell, the eldest daughter of Ignotus.

Harry's great-grandfather, Henry Potter, was a direct descendant of Hardwin and Iolanthe.

After listening to the history of the Potter family, Grindelwald seemed a little tired. He asked listlessly, "Where is the Resurrection Stone?"

"I'm not sure." Ada said, "I have two suspicions, Tom Riddle or Albus Dumbledore."
