Afterword to the Fall - Ella Gardner

When "2014" was reprinted in [-], at the invitation of the editor, I wrote this "Afterword of Abandoning Autumn".One is to sincerely thank all the readers of "[-]" for their support, encouragement and touch, and the other is to share with you some unknown details in my writing process.

Only my older sister, Cassandra, knew that I had been thinking about Nineteen Four Three since I was 11 years old.

I grew up in a desolate valley on the outskirts of Edinburgh, with our nearest neighbors five miles away.Because of the cold and lonely upbringing in the Scottish Highlands, Cassandra and I grew up immersed in the world of books.Cassandra and I grew up in a quiet, shy and sentimental character.After Cassandra went to Hogwarts, I had no playmates at all. Apart from reading more books, I gradually developed a hobby of hiking and exploring alone in valleys and fields.

In the mouths of adults, the valley where we grew up is called "Stuart Valley".On the other side of the endless hilly area is the gradually rising hillside. My father told me that the hillside is the territory of the Stuart family.A long time ago, when the Stuart family was still a dignitary in the magic world, this desolate valley used to be a place where celebrities from all walks of life and senior officials of the Ministry of Magic used to come.

I always stand behind a wooden railing in a buckwheat field, overlooking the lush beech and fir forests in the distance.Trees and weeds have long invaded the road up the mountain. On the other side of the valley, you can vaguely see the jagged red cliffs.The North Sea of ​​Scotland is just below that steep cliff, and I can hear the crashing crash of the waves, but I have never seen the sea.

On that thorny hillside stood a magnificent gray Regency castle: Stuart House.The castle has been abandoned for decades, almost a ruin that no one cares about.

There are more rumors about Stuart than about Merlin.Among them, the most widely spread is the haunted story.

The ancestral grave of the Stuart family is in the manor. My grandfather told me from a young age that on moonless nights, the ghost of Mrs. Stuart who died in the car accident that shocked the whole country would be in the castle covered with spider webs. wandering about, looking for her husband in the library, her children in the nursery, and cursing the stranger who broke into Stuart Manor.

Every time grandpa said this, grandma would be very angry and think it was nonsense.

"Mrs. Stuart is the kindest woman I've ever known," Grandma yelled at Grandpa, brandishing a saucepan. "If her ghost does appear, I'd most like to visit her!"

My grandma's name is Becca Donavan Gardner.If you finish reading this story, you must remember who she is.

Even after 30 years, Mrs Stuart's death is still a topic that people talk about.According to my grandfather, Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart was one of the most famous ladies in the British magic circle.Her beauty, her love affair with Mr. Stuart, her scandal and deviant behavior with Tom Riddle have long been the stuff of gossip.

"All of England exploded overnight, the August siege and the crash dominated the front pages of every newspaper in England for two weeks, and those who knew her and those who didn't, poured into the Stuart Vale Already." While smoking a cigarette, my grandfather happily recalled to me the events of his youth, "But, you must not have imagined what the most amazing thing is. At that time, the Stuart Manor was famous for its romantic camellias. But when people woke up in the early morning of September 9st, they suddenly found that the camellias all over the mountains and plains were all withered when they should be in full bloom. Do you know why? It’s because those flowers were transformed by Mrs. Stuart’s magic. She When she dies, the magic disappears. Moreover, people say that the camellia is the testimony of her love with Mr. Stuart."

Because of the rumors about the camellia, countless witches come to Stuart Manor every year to make a wish.There is a superstition among Scottish witches that if they make a wish at the bottom of the valley where the camellia once bloomed, their lover will never leave.

After I finished Nineteen Four Three, I took a month's sabbatical to the Bernard Valley.Bernard's Valley is more famous today than it was 50 years ago, not only for being a scenic getaway, but also for being the site of the August Siege.When I rode through the valley with gurgling streams and trees, it was hard to imagine that 50 years ago, this place was once a battlefield filled with gunpowder and smoke.

The Randall Villa, which was bombed into ruins, now belongs to Estella Randall.The villa has been rebuilt, and I have visited it several times, but the door is closed, the curtains are drawn tightly, and there is no sign of habitation.

"[-]" respected historical facts to the greatest extent, but out of the selfishness of a sentimental writer, I still modified some details on my own initiative.

Sylvia Black committed suicide at Elizabeth's grave after Voldemort's fall from power in Godric's Hollow on October 1981, 10. In the spring of 31, I found Mrs. Andromeda Tonks, and Mrs. Tonks handed me Mrs. Blake's memoirs and Mrs. Stuart's memoirs she compiled.

According to Sylvia's recollection, during the August siege, Elizabeth arrived at Malfoy Villa (which was then Riddle's stronghold) in the early morning of August 8.No one knew why it took Elizabeth a whole week to find Riddle. What she did and where she lived between August 30 and August 8 has become a permanent secret.

According to historical data, the only fact we can ascertain is that Mrs. Stuart and Mr. Riddle left the Bernard Valley by car at 8:30 in the evening of August 10th, and then both died in the Car accident in Paris tunnel.The man behind the crash was Sir Francis Stuart's sister, Victoria Stuart.

As to why Mrs. Stuart and Mr. Riddle left together for Paris, and where they were going when the accident happened, no one knows anymore.In my novel, I give a version that is almost beautiful fantasy.Although I believe that it is impossible for Tom Riddle to give up the road of black magic for Elizabeth and go to live in seclusion in Australia.According to the opinions of many historians, it is more likely that Elizabeth was a hostage taken by Tom Riddle at the time and wanted to escape the pursuit of the British Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic has never given an official statement on the reason for the surrender during the August Siege, and Mr. Francis Stuart has never accepted any form of media interview.

If the car accident in the Paris tunnel shocked the whole country, what happened at Mrs. Stuart's funeral shocked the whole of Europe.According to detailed historical records, on September 1955, 9, Tom Riddle, who was originally thought to be dead, was resurrected in the image of Voldemort and appeared at the funeral. In front of all the funeral attendees and hundreds of reporters, Killed Victoria Stuart and sent the first Dark Mark in history into the sky.

Elizabeth Stuart's life was a legend, and even her funeral was epic, leaving an indelible mark on the history of magic.

No one knows why Voldemort didn't kill Francis Stuart that day.Professor Binns, an expert in the history of magic who helped me a lot in my writing, told me his guess: "Perhaps, in Voldemort's long cruel and violent life, the only person he ever forgave was Mr. Stuart. Maybe he understands that Elizabeth's children need him. But why, maybe only Merlin knows."

In the autumn of 2003 I interviewed Ida Woodson, 77, who lived alone in a country house in Cambridgeshire, never married.Ms. Woodson gave me all of her diaries from that year without reservation.Her diary is the most important first-hand information besides the memoirs left by Sylvia Black and Elizabeth Stuart herself. huge help.

"The thing I regret the most in my life is being one step late and watching Tony die at the hands of Death Eaters. I will never, never forgive myself." The old Ada shed muddy tears, full of tears. Deep grief was written on the wrinkled face, "Lestrange cast the first Avada Kedavra curse on Lizzie, and Tony rushed over to block Lizzie and Claudia. Together they After rolling down the cliff, I found them. At this time, both Claudia and Lizzie were seriously injured. Claudia hugged Tony's body tightly and refused to let go no matter what. So I could only give her Cast a stun spell, buried Tony on the spot with Lizzie, and then I took Claudia and left, leaving Lizzie alone in the valley."

Perhaps, Lizzie was seriously injured at the time, and she was deeply affected by Tony's sudden death. In addition, the war in the valley was endless at that time, so it took her nearly a week to find Riddle.

The truth is often extremely cruel, which makes people more willing to believe better lies.

The death of Ida Woodson thus becomes the second historical falsification in my novel.In fact, Ada never arrived in time to save Tony, and Tony died without knowing that Ada loved him so much.After all, reality is not a novel. There is not so much luck to arrive in time, and some are just regrets that leave a lifetime of trauma.

In my novel, and in the hearts of thousands of viewers, Tony, Claudia, and Estella lived happily together ever since, happily ever after.

Claudia was severely injured and disabled, and she later lived with Clarissa Stuart and raised Estella.Claudia did not live for a few years because of excessive grief.I think living is a kind of torture for her, and death is a kind of relief. Maybe at the other end of the vastness, Tony is waiting for her with a smile.

After Claudia's death, Francis Stuart adopted Estella.Mr. Francis Stuart packed up his things the day after Elizabeth's funeral, moved away with all his servants and three children, and never returned to Stuart Manor.Although he later had the opportunity to return to work at the Ministry of Magic, he turned them all down.He continued to run the Stuart family business and lived an extremely low-key life on the outskirts of London.I have no way of contacting him or any of his children, I can only hear some fragments from some friends around him.

The office assistant of Mr. Charles Stuart, who is nearly sixty years old, gave me a succinct answer.Mr. Stuart appreciates my efforts to describe his mother's life, but neither he nor members of the Stuart family will accept any form of media interview.

Ida Woodson, Lady Elizabeth Stuart's childhood friend, always reminded me of myself.Like Ada, I didn't excel at Hogwarts, with mediocre grades, mediocre looks, and no boys ever noticed me.Like Ada, I also fell in love with a very funny boy in the first grade, and I couldn't help it ever since.But this boy didn't know that I had loved him until he died.Also like Ada, I also rushed to save him, but the miracle did not happen after all.He died in the defense of Hogwarts in 1998.His name was Fred Weasley.

Also like Ada, I have never married for life because of the regret in my heart and the memory of my dead lover.
