The Emerald at Hogwarts

It was freezing at high places. Standing on the astronomy tower was even colder than on the ground. Ada tightened her cloak and turned to look at Dumbledore.There was a smile on the principal's face, but this smile looked like gloating.

"Even if I commit suicide, I will do it at the door of the principal's office. Maybe one day when you open the door, you will see me hanging myself from the beam, with my tongue hanging out so long." As she said that, Ada made a gesture with her hand.

It's just that the length of Ada's gestures reaches her waist. Even if she is extremely talented and reincarnated as a hanged ghost, she still can't extend her tongue that long.

"As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and evil people live for thousands of years. I don't think you can live for a hundred years." Dumbledore said, ignoring the angry Ada.

Dumbledore also held on to the wall and looked at the entire Hogwarts. He said, "It's great. You can have a panoramic view of everything on campus. Overlooking all of this, do you feel like you dominate everything?"

"To dominate all things? Unless there really is a god in the world." Ada said dullly, "No, even if there is an omniscient and omnipotent God, he cannot control every person or every living thing."

Dumbledore looked at Ada and said, "I thought you hadn't thought of this! Since you know you can't control people's hearts, why do you still want to control people's hearts? Are you still angry about this impossible thing? "

90.00% of what happens at Hogwarts cannot be hidden from Dumbledore. If there is a god in the world, Dumbledore is the god of Hogwarts. Of course, gods also take naps.

Naturally, the rules Ada set for the prefects and students could not escape Dumbledore's eyes. Even when Ada went to the Slytherin common room, Dumbledore was fully aware of it.

But the principal didn't say or do anything. He just watched quietly.It is useless to preach on some things. Only after you have done it yourself can you know the depth and the right from wrong.

Just like Ada, she originally thought she could use her own strength to convince everyone and get everyone to act according to her ideas and maintain superficial peace, but what was the result?

The plan failed to keep up with the changes. When Harry accidentally became the No. 4 warrior, the students were no longer afraid of Ada's personal strength. The students united for their own "purpose" and began to resist, shaking Ada's "rule".

Regardless of whether Harry took the initiative to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament by cheating, or whether Harry volunteered or not, in the eyes of the students, Harry was a vested interest and had violated their interests.

As a result, there was the previous exclusion and isolation, and now there is the "Potter stinking shit", which also means that Ada's attempt to make everyone act according to her wishes and to control people's thoughts has completely failed.

The reason why this superficial peace has been maintained for two months and the students have obeyed orders for two months is simply because Ada did not touch their vital interests and did not harm their interests.

Once their interests are harmed, or Ada's orders go against their wishes, they will become what they are today, or even go further to force the emperor to oust, or directly overthrow Ada.

This is the reason why Dumbledore has been watching. He hopes that Ada can experience such a thing for herself. Where else can there be such an opportunity besides school?This experience and reversal, if placed outside the school, may lead to people losing their lives.

The human heart is the most difficult thing in the world to understand, and controlling it is even more difficult.The human heart cannot be subdued by force, it can only be destroyed.

Ada raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and said softly: "I don't want to control people's hearts. I just want the school to maintain superficial peace, but this thing gradually changed in the process."

"Although the starting points are different, I think you did learn a lot of useful things, didn't you?" Dumbledore said with a smile, "Failure is not necessarily a bad thing. The key is whether you can learn from it."

Ada was still depressed and said absently: "I know, failure is success, mommy."

"The words are rough, but the truth is not rough." Dumbledore continued, "The rule brought by power will eventually be overturned. Voldemort used terror to rule the Death Eaters. After he lost power, the trees fell and the Hozens scattered, and the Death Eaters were defeated. Only A very small number of people are still loyal to him. Gellert rules his followers with his own strength and faith. To this day, there are still many Gellert believers in Europe."

Dumbledore quickly emphasized: "Of course, I am not saying that Voldemort must be wrong and Gellert must be right. I hope you can learn from their failures and not repeat their old ways. .”

Ada tilted her head and looked at Dumbledore with dissatisfied eyes. She said, "Why do you mention the Dark Lord? Do you think I will become the third generation Dark Lord?"

"Of course not, there's just no better example." Dumbledore explained, "Those two are the most famous, aren't they?"

Dumbledore continued: "You and I are not walking the same road, and the destination will be different. I hope you will not keep your head down and rush along, but pay more attention to the scenery along the way. Those scenery are the most beautiful on the road. "

"How do you know that we are not walking the same path? Didn't I already say that I want to be the principal of Hogwarts!" Ada said arrogantly. How could she not know this herself? Let her become like Dumbledore. Ada can't do the same thing as Lido.

"It is biased to look at the big from the small, but it is not unreasonable." Dumbledore said, "You are not a person who allows yourself to be wronged, unless the person who wronged you is extremely important to you."

Dumbledore suddenly stroked Ada's hair very affectionately and continued: "As your teacher and as the president of the International Federation of Wizards, I should have let you follow the same path as me, but this The road is too painful. You are not supposed to accept these pains, so how can I force them on you..."

The topic got a little heavy, and Dumbledore withdrew his hand as if he had never done it before.

The cold wind in November blew by, ruffling Ada's hair and pushing the broken hair behind her ears. She asked softly: "If you could do it again, would you still take this road?"

"I don't know, and I don't know if I still have the same courage to embark on this road full of thorns."

The cold wind also ruffled Dumbledore's hair and beard, and Ada noticed for the first time that Dumbledore was so old.Ada knew that if he could do it again, Dumbledore would still take this path without hesitation and do better.

Ada didn't know what happened to Dumbledore when he was a boy, but thinking about it must have been painful, a hundred times more painful than what he had experienced along the way.

"How are you preparing? The first project is very difficult. Don't cry when you are embarrassed." Dumbledore changed the topic and brought it up to the Triwizard Tournament.

"Without any preparation, I was notified of the competition time. How can I prepare?" Ada said along the way, "Just participate in the competition on time. No matter what the content is, just push it through."

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracies, tricks, and mechanisms are just bells and whistles and paper tigers.

If the difficulty of the competition event is tailor-made according to Ada's ability, Ada will naturally be cautious and well prepared.

However, the competition items must also take into account the strength of Klum and Fleur. It is impossible to set the difficulty level to be extremely high. That would not be for the sake of competition, but for the sake of eating seats.

Therefore, Ada does not need to make too many preparations. She only needs to adjust her state and rhythm and concentrate on the upcoming project.

Dumbledore suddenly punched the wall and said in a fuss: "I almost forgot as I was talking. The warriors have to undergo wand testing, and they also have to cooperate with the publicity and take photos together."

"Really, when?" Ada asked.

"Uh... right now..."
