The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 694 The Deathly Hallows
"Yes, it's a test."

Ada said seriously: "As I said just now, the Elder Wand gives its owner tyrannical power. When you have power that others don't have, power will lower its proud posture to you and crawl at your feet. This is a test of the desire for power.

The resurrection stone cannot really recall the dead, but is more like an illusion created based on the user's memory. This method of "resurrection" will only double the pain of missing the dead. This is the second test, which can be said to be the longing for the dead, or the obsession with the past. "

Ada turned and looked at the distant, blurry white grave.

Dumbledore resisted the temptation of power. Even though he was the ceiling of the magic world, he still tried to stay away from the vortex of power. But he finally couldn't resist his longing for Ariana and didn't forgive his past self.

Ariana's early death was an eternal pain in Albus Dumbledore's heart. He could convince himself countless times and pretend that nothing had happened. But when the Resurrection Stone was placed in front of him, he still put on the ugly ring and fell for the ring of "remembering the deceased".

"What about the Invisibility Cloak in Harry's hand?" George asked. "What kind of test is it?"

Retracting her gaze, Ada smiled and said, "Do you remember the ending of Ignotus in the legend?"

"Of course," Fred said first, "Ignotus was wearing an invisibility cloak, so the god of death couldn't find him, so he didn't die like his two brothers."

George went on to say, "In the end, he took off his invisibility cloak and greeted the god of death. Only then could the god of death take him to the underworld."

"But in reality, the invisibility cloak can't do these things. It can neither hide from the gaze of the god of death nor prevent death." Ada said, "To put it bluntly, the invisibility cloak only deceives human eyes and erases the person wearing the invisibility cloak from other people's vision - but humans have more than just vision, they also have touch, hearing, and smell... The invisibility cloak cannot hide from everyone's 'eyes'."

Ada is the one who can penetrate the invisibility cloak.

Even if the Invisibility Cloak successfully blinded her eyes, she could still sense Harry under the Invisibility Cloak in other ways, such as the sudden sound of footsteps in the silent corridor, or Harry's heavy breathing.

If there really is a God of Death in this world, and he is deceived by such an imperfect invisibility cloak, and is even weaker than a "weak" human being, how weak is he?

It doesn’t matter if I am not the master of the god of death.

In addition, the invisibility cloak cannot stop the invasion of time, it cannot offset the wear and tear that time brings to humans. Time is the most powerful, it will eventually take away everything in this world.

"You still haven't told me what the test of the invisibility cloak is." Fred complained, "We don't care whether the invisibility cloak has the legendary power."

After organizing her words in her mind, Ida continued, "You don't think so, but many people do. They believe that people with invisibility cloaks can avoid death, just like the legendary Ignotus. But this is the test of the invisibility cloak. It tests whether a person has the courage to face death."

Overcoming the desire for power, not dwelling on the past, thinking too much, and having the courage to face death, this is the test of the Deathly Hallows. Those who pass the test are the masters of death, no, to be more precise, the masters of death.

People do not fear death, so why scare them with death?

Passing the triple test means that you have understood death and are no longer afraid of it. Death is just your unpleasant old friend.

To the owner of the Deathly Hallows, death is nothing more than a tired person finally getting to bed after a long journey, and another new adventure.

Harry was willing to die for everyone, and from then on he had conquered death. Voldemort feared death and was willing to split his soul for it, but he never conquered death. In this comparison, Harry and Voldemort were clearly superior. When Voldemort's killing curse hit Harry, how could a dirty, broken soul possibly defeat a pure, complete soul?
Faced with the ruthless Killing Curse, the remaining soul of Voldemort hidden in Harry's body could only tremble in fear, waiting for destruction to befall him, paving the way for Voldemort's defeat.

"From what I've heard, it seems like you have nothing to do with this!" said the smart Fred.

"That's right. It's obvious that Harry overcame his fear of death by himself. From the perspective you explained, Harry is also the owner of the Deathly Hallows!" The smart George followed.

"Well...how can you say that!" Ada spread her hands. "When he needed comfort and encouragement the most, I gave him the comfort and encouragement he needed, and gave him the courage to keep going. How can you say that! It's too much!"

Getting angry and refusing to admit one's mistakes is a unique right of girls, especially beautiful girls.

As it happens, Ida is not only a girl, but also very beautiful. When she exercises this power, what can the twins do but spoil her?

After much persuasion, Ada's face finally turned from cloudy to sunny (this statement should be acceptable, right?), and Fred and George also breathed a sigh of relief (they finally managed to appease this little ancestor!).

The two brothers exchanged glances and never mentioned the Deathly Hallows again, let alone the Master of Death.

In a place where the twins could not see, Ada quietly reached out her hand and silently swore in her heart: From now on, I will never lie to you again. This is the last time. Really!
In fact, it cannot be said to be a deception. Ada told all her views on the Deathly Hallows without hiding anything. She just vagued her role and concealed the protection she provided to Harry.

After all, this is Ida's biggest secret, and she cannot tell it to even Fred and George, her closest friends. This secret will follow Ida for a long time and sleep with her in the ground.

The sun was shining and the breeze was not cold, as if the impending winter had gone away with Voldemort's death.

The three of them bathed in the warm sunshine together, playing and laughing as they returned to the dilapidated castle. This ancient castle, which had stood for a thousand years, was in urgent need of repair.

"By the way, what are you going to do next?" Fred asked. "Still staying at the Ministry?"

Ada shook her head violently. She said, "No, I will definitely get moldy if I continue to stay in the Ministry of Magic! In fact, I don't know what to do next now."

When Voldemort was around, Ada spent every day thinking about how to deal with him. Although such days made people feel irritated, they were still quite fulfilling. Now that Voldemort is dead, Ada is a little uncomfortable.

"Go back to school?" George suggested. "I think Professor McGonagall would welcome you."

"Continue studying?" Ada asked uncertainly. "That's not a good idea. Will it put too much pressure on other students? I am now the invincible Esmeralda Drizzt!"

Seeing that Ada's tail was about to reach the sky, the twins decided to pull her down.

"Do you dare to say this again in front of Vida Rosier, Minerva McGonagall, and Molly Weasley?"
