Chapter 122 The Big Deception at Hogwarts

The weather on Saturday was gloomy, and the depressed people felt uncomfortable. Ada's short vacation was about to end.

During the few days she stayed in Little Whinging, Ada did nothing serious and wandered around the town all day long. As for picking up the Boy Who Lived in the playground, it was purely an unexpected gain and was not part of the plan. .

These days of comfort can be regarded as Ada taking the opportunity to take a vacation for herself. She is not a witch in Little Whinging, nor is she any other identity. She is herself, doing nothing and trying not to think about anything.

If the twins hadn't sent the "Modern Dark Wizard Process", Ada could still have been leisurely. It was just that she was deceived by a bad old man. It was no big deal. At least for now, this bad old man has not shown any greater signs. of malice.

There has always been a rumor in Hogwarts that no professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts can teach for more than one year, and they will always be unable to continue teaching for various reasons.

No one knows when this rumor started, but everyone believes it deeply, because there is really no strong person who can be re-elected, and there are even people who give up after only half a semester.

There is less than a month left in the semester, which means that in one month Ada will have to say goodbye to Cecil, and Cecil is not a stupid boy, he has fought against Dumbledore Yes, I know how powerful Dumbledore is.

By the end of the semester, the life trajectories of the two people will no longer intersect. Ada would return to the Burrow to live with the Weasleys, and Cecil might return to the country to continue his studies of the Dark Arts, if his body could hold up until then.

To be honest, Ada is actually very conflicted. Cecil and Welfare are different. Although Cecil deceived her, he also gave Ada a lot of help in her studies. Without him, Ada would not be able to do anything at all. Can't get those banned books.

This is what makes Ada feel uncomfortable. She has given her so much help, but yet she is being fooled around. Ada really wants to blow his pipe out of his mouth, but for Cecil's physical condition. It was so bad that Ada even wanted to add some spice to his tobacco and let him live in the bathroom.

Wait, is Cecil really terminally ill? Could the weakness he displayed be another hoax?

But this potion was prepared by Snape, and Ada had seen Cecil drink the potion with her own eyes, so this should not be false. When she first learned about Cecil's illness, Ada still felt sad. If the illness was a lie to her, the feud would be dead!

I can’t blame Ada for being suspicious. When a person deceives you once, there will be a second or even a third time... I can’t think about these things about Cecil anymore. If I continue to think about it, this world will be terrible. There are no good people left.

After gathering herself, Ada went to say goodbye to Ms. Valente and then left the orphanage. Ada's things were sent back last night. This poor owl was in bad luck following her. It traveled back and forth between Scotland and England every day. Ada felt that it had lost weight recently.

The time agreed with Professor McGonagall was in the afternoon, but it was still morning, so Ada went to the cemetery. This was the first time Ada had gone to the cemetery since Lady Mary was buried on Monday.

After today, Ada doesn’t know if she will come back again in her lifetime. With Ada’s temperament, she might accidentally offend a magic giant one day and die. No one can predict what will happen in the future. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Professor Trelawney. It is said that she predicts the death of a student every year. Which time do you think she succeeded?

Ada doesn't know how the British sweep graves. She has no experience in this area, but she at least knows that burning paper money is not popular here, so Ada only brings white wreaths to the cemetery. Don't ask where the garland came from. If you ask, don't tell me. You definitely didn't buy it.

Standing in front of Lady Mary's tombstone, Ada no longer felt much sadness. The street life these days had some effect. At least it allowed Ada to let go of a lot of worries and burdens.

From now on, Ida is just Ida, and all the bad things in the past will be buried in this small cemetery along with Lady Mary, existing only in this deep grave.

Ada felt someone approaching her. Ada held the wand in her hand. No matter where she went, Ada would take her wand with her and place it in a position where she could quickly draw it out.

"It's good to keep your guard up at all times, but you also have to be able to tell who is coming, whether it's a friend or an enemy." His voice was a little hoarse, which seemed to be caused by smoking too much. of.

Ada looked back and saw Grover Cecil who was filling his pipe with tobacco. His face was full of tiredness and his complexion was as white as a piece of paper. Ada had not put away her wand, and Cecil's sudden appearance only heightened Ada's confusion.

Cecil lit the pipe and took a long drag on the cigarette. He closed his eyes and exhaled the thick smoke. He looked at Ada who was still on guard and said with a smile: "It seems you know everything!"

The two people had had a similar conversation before, but that time they talked about Cecil's illness, but this time they talked about him cheating on Ada.

"I saw a story in the book that is completely opposite to what you said." Ada asked, "Which side should I believe? Should I believe you or the book that doesn't even have the author's name?" What about Modern Process of Dark Arts?"

"As your teacher, I will teach you another lesson." Cecil took a puff of cigarette before continuing, "People's hearts are vicious, and as long as they are human, they are unreliable, so never trust anyone. !”

"A person's life is as long as the grass and trees. If you don't even have one person you can trust or trust, isn't this life such a failure?" Ada did not agree with Cecil's point of view. What he said was too absolute. .

Cecil didn't mind the wand in Ada's hand at all. He came over and stood in front of Lady Mary's tombstone like Ada. Cecil said: "Of course you can trust others, but you have to be prepared to be betrayed at any time. Just like you chose to believe my story, only to find out in the end that I was lying to you, and you took nothing from me. There is no way.”

"Of course, if you like to trust others, but don't want to be betrayed, you have to have the same strength as Dumbledore or Voldemort. In this way, you can give trust to whomever you want, because you You are not afraid of betrayal, you can withdraw your trust at any time." Cecil put away his pipe and looked at Ada and said slowly.

Ada suddenly felt that what Cecil said made sense. The magic world was always a place where strength was respected. Being weak was the original sin, and having a big fist was the truth. As long as you are strong enough, even if you kill people and set fires, you can still be the best in the magic world. Handsome boy. Weak and weak fish are not worthy of talking about trust, because there is no price to pay for betraying you.

Just when Ada was thinking wildly, the ring on her left ring finger lit up with a clear light. Ada suddenly woke up and her sense of recognition of Cecil's words also decreased.

Ada moved her left hand and thought: She must have fallen into his trap like this last time. She was directly deceived by Cecil's story. She was capsized by Cecil's hands both times. She really did. Stupid enough!

Cecil has been looking at Ada, and the changes in the expression on her face cannot escape Cecil's eyes. However, even if his means failed, he still did not have any negative emotions, but smiled.
