Chapter 658 Listening to Vida's Stories from the Past

Will Voldemort be fooled?
Ada felt that he would. How could the Dark Lord, who thought so highly of himself, allow himself to be attacked and damaged?

As long as Voldemort realizes that his Horcruxes are no longer safe, he will definitely take action.

When the diary was destroyed, Voldemort was no match for a ghost, and he could do nothing. Now that Voldemort has recovered his strength, there is no reason for him to sit back and watch his Horcruxes being destroyed one after another. That is the guarantee of his immortality and the reason why he is not afraid of Dumbledore and Ada.

With each Horcrux destroyed, Voldemort's confidence would weaken and his anxiety would increase.

This kind of anxious emotion will make him lose his basic judgment ability, and even if he knows it is bait, Voldemort will bite it without hesitation.

Moreover, Ada always felt that Voldemort's brain was damaged due to too many soul splits, and the zombies might not be willing to eat his brain because they thought it would get stuck in their teeth.

In the past, Voldemort was extremely intelligent and full of charm. Not only were the professors in the school collectively bewitched by him, but even the pure-blood wizards outside the school were convinced by him and were willing to be commanded by him.

Later, Voldemort became extremely powerful and immortal, but he no longer used his ability to talk and waste his charm. He only knew how to kill, kill, and kill, as if he could get commissions from major cemeteries.

A brain will rust if it is not used for a long time, let alone a brain that has been sliced.

Although Ada's plan was old-fashioned and even full of loopholes, it was the right medicine for Voldemort's disease. She used the Horcrux and Harry Potter to trick Voldemort and force him to surface for a decisive battle.

As for Snape's suggestion of "sowing discord", Ada did not have such an idea.

This idea is based on the fact that Bellatrix's original surname was Black, and she and Regulus were from the same origin and were cousins.

Since Regulus committed such a "treasonous" act of stealing the Horcrux, did Bellatrix, as his cousin, also participate? In other words, is Bellatrix Lestrange still loyal to her master?
However, Voldemort did not trust anyone except himself. Even though he showed trust in Bellatrix and Snape, deep down he still only believed in himself.

Otherwise, Bellatrix would not be unaware of the use of the golden cup and leave it in her own vault for such a long time without knowing it.

Besides, in terms of closeness, Narcissa and Bellatrix are sisters, and their relationship is closer and more intimate than Regulus. The defection of her sister Narcissa did not affect her status, and her cousin Regulus would not affect her status either.

I just don't know who was the person who was ordered to kill Regulus. If this Death Eater is still alive, he should be prepared to endure Voldemort's boundless wrath, including the Cruciatus Curse and maybe even the Killing Curse.

I hope that people will have something to do. Please help me.

It was almost noon, and Ada hadn't stepped out of the office all morning, living up to the image of a "stay-at-home girl".

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ida thought it was Laura again, so she said nothing. Anyway, whether Ida responded or not, Laura Fournier would come in on her own.

But today, the knock on the door rang three times before the office door was pushed open. The person who walked in was not the smiling Laura, but the serious-looking Vida Rozier.

She said, "No one answered the door, so I thought you finally remembered to go out."

Seeing her grandmother come in, Ada raised the newspaper in her hand and pointed to the list on the table, indicating that she was busy working and was definitely not a homebody.

At that time, homebody culture was not popular, and Vida did not understand what "homebody" meant, but she could not stand Ada's lifestyle of staying at home. Even if there was a lot of work in the department, Ada should not stay in the office all day, basking in the virtual sunlight provided by the Magic Maintenance Department.

"You should go out and walk around more instead of sitting in that chair all the time," Vida said. "When you get to my age, you won't be able to walk for long even if you want to."

Once people get old, the signs of aging become more obvious, and one of them is a lack of energy.

Vida continued to say a few more words, all with the same idea, hoping that Ada could exercise more and not stay in the room all the time, or go around Diagon Alley with the Weasley twins, or take a walk around London, or at least stroll around the Ministry.

"I know, I was wrong, I'm going to go out and get some real sunshine now," said Ada, who had given in to her grandmother's nagging, put down everything she was doing, and got up from the comfortable high-backed chair. "Although the weather in London is not as good as ours, the sun is still the same after all," Vida continued.

The two walked out of the Ministry of Magic underground while talking. After reaching the surface, the old man and the child walked north along the street and arrived at the nearby Trafalgar Square.

This square was built to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar. Interestingly, the two warring parties in this battle were Britain and France.

Under the leadership of General Horatio Nelson, the Royal Navy defeated the Franco-Spanish fleet of Emperor Nazi Germany, thus ending the century-long rivalry between Britain and France for hegemony at sea, and the French Navy never recovered from this defeat.

The most prominent building in the square is Nelson's Column, on the base of which there is a relief commemorating the naval battle. The entire base of the column is made of cannons captured that year.

The grandfather and grandson walked slowly around the fountain, surrounded by flying pigeons.

Suddenly I seemed to be back in Rose Manor, except that the manor was quiet and peaceful, while Trafalgar Square was surrounded by a bustling city with crowds of people.

"You seem to have new worries recently," Vader said softly, "Is it about the boy named Harry Potter?"

Although there were many people around, these Muggles could not hear clearly what the two were saying. The sound of their conversation just sounded like a buzzing sound to others.

"Yes, it's a bit tricky. I'm not sure I can handle this matter well." Ida replied, "Not only him, but also the big snake following the Dark Lord. The big snake named Nagini also needs to be eliminated."

Hearing this, Vader was stunned for a moment, then slowly asked: "You mean a giant snake named Nagini?"

Ida didn't understand why Vida was stunned, and replied in confusion: "Yes, the Dark Lord called it Nagini. What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Vida said, "It must be just a coincidence! If she is still alive, she must be at least 80 or 90 years old."

Ida leaned forward slightly and asked playfully, "Grandma, do you also know a giant snake called Nagini? Maybe it's the same one!"

"I don't know a giant snake named Nagini." Vida shook his head. "But I do know a girl named Nagini who can turn into a snake and was once captured and performed in a circus. But she is an Animagus, a blood-cursed orc."

Blood curse is a special kind of curse that does not kill the target directly, but exists in the blood and is passed on to the next generation. Blood curse orcs are one of the people who carry blood curses.

All blood-cursed orcs are witches, and the curse is passed down from mother to daughter. If the girl named Nagini gave birth to a daughter, her daughter would also become a blood-cursed orc and pass on the curse in her blood.

At first, bloodcursed orcs can switch back and forth between human and animal states at will, but over time, they will gradually lose control and unconsciously transform into beasts, eventually being trapped in the bodies of beasts forever.

The most painful thing is that they will completely lose their human consciousness and forget their memories as human beings, becoming real animals.

"Credence, you should have heard of his name." Vida continued, "The blood-cursed orc Nagini is his friend. She also helped Credence find his true identity."

"What happened next?" Ada asked. She had heard Grindelwald mention Credence, a powerful Obscurial, but she had never heard Grindelwald mention Nagini.

Vader shook her head again. She said, "I don't know. Credence chose to follow Gellert. I don't know where Nagini is. Maybe she died a long time ago. After all, no one wants to be trapped in the body of a beast."

“What a sad story.”

"There are many sad stories in this world, but we cannot be sad for all of them." Vida said, "No matter if it's a giant snake or a pitiful blood-cursed orc, as long as it stands in front of you, it is an enemy and must be wiped out."

The old man and the young man said in unison: "For the greater good."
