Chapter 194 Words Are Like Knives
After living together in the castle for five days, this was the time when the first Dark Lord Grindelwald spoke the most. He threw his opinions to Ada and continued to enjoy his breakfast.
Grindelwald ate very slowly. At this age, and living alone as a prisoner, his body was already like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time, and he could not get up quickly even if he wanted to.
Regarding the internal strife with Gryffindor classmates, Ada's thoughts were similar to Grindelwald's. She knew that she was not a charismatic person, nor was she very good at brainwashing, so she tried to teach this group of people a lesson. It's just that she was thinking too much, so when she was ready to take action, it was already too late. She was stopped by Snape who arrived in time.
"I should be glad that I was stopped, otherwise I should be expelled. Just like you were expelled by Durmstrang." Ada said.
"I was not expelled for attacking my classmates. The reason for expelling me is just that mortals cannot understand the genius's conception. Besides, what is the difference between your current situation and being expelled?" Grindelwald sneered, "Been expelled. Take him away from the school and banish him to Nurmengard, with no friends or classmates, and only a living Dark Lord as a companion. Apart from the fact that you can go out and hang out at will, what is the difference between you and Azkaban? Don't talk about soul-obsessing. Weird, only the weak are afraid of that thing."
One word kills me, I can't talk anymore today. Ada said: "Then what can I do? Use the killing curse to kill them all desperately, and then have the wand cut off and thrown into Azkaban to die?"
"At such a young age, don't be obsessed with fighting and killing. Can you only use killing to exaggerate your strength? Killing is the last resort, the last resort." Grindelwald said dissatisfied, "When other people When they don't want to listen to you, you can force them to listen to you, but the method is never killing. You can use appropriate force to suppress them to show your strength and exaggerate your kindness."
"But if I did this, Dumbledore would not show me his kindness. What do you want to do to form your own influence in the school? Become the next Voldemort?" Ada did not agree with Grindelwald. From her point of view, she believed that she could attack her classmates, but she could not exert her influence on them. This would remind Dumbledore of his bad past.
Grindelwald was very dissatisfied with Ada's lackluster performance. He asked: "Are you so afraid of your principal? You haven't done anything. How do you know that your principal will treat you as that idiot? Just because of you Are both from orphanages?”
"It's not just fear, but I always thought that as long as I worked hard enough and obeyed the arrangements, I could grow up under Dumbledore's protection and be protected from the threats of Voldemort and Death Eaters." Ada said mockingly, "It's ridiculous, right? But that's really what I thought, until I discovered that I was not the person Dumbledore needed, and I couldn't be that person..."
"So, why not make up your mind to be the next Albus Dumbledore?" Grindelwald put down the bread in his hand and said seriously, "Or the next Gellert Grindelwald?"
"I need time……"
"Excuse! You have even made excuses for your own weakness. Why are you valued by others? Why do you become a strong person?" Grindelwald's expression was very disdainful, as if he was looking at a useless rag doll. "Relying on your talent? You don't even have the heart to become a strong person. Even if you have such a talent, you can only be a loser in this life, a pitiful and pathetic mudblood!"
These words touched Ada's pain point. She stood up angrily, slammed her hands on the table, and shouted loudly: "I am a loser, aren't you a loser? Your followers are hunted down by Aurors, and are hunted down by various countries. The Ministry of Magic is trying you, but you can only hide in Nurmengard, what did you just say... By the way, just hanging on!"
"I did fail, but at least I have been to the top. A weak person who can only humble himself at the foot of the mountain and look up at the top of the mountain, praying to the people on the top of the mountain to give him some mercy. You have no right to ridicule someone who walked down from the top of the mountain. "Me." Grindelwald said slowly, placing the emphasis on the words "mountain top" and "mountain foot".
Gellert Grindelwald, one of the two most powerful wizards in the wizarding world, a wizard who turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain. He once climbed to the top of a mountain and eventually fell from the top of the mountain. And Ada is just a person who has just started climbing. She is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Grindelwald because she has never experienced the scenery on the top of the mountain.
Ada sat back in her high-backed chair dejectedly. Even today, Grindelwald's name is still taboo throughout Europe. She is also a loser, but she is far behind Grindelwald.
"He said that he saw some shadow of me in you. I think he was probably blinded by his old eyesight. I only saw a cowardly girl sitting in front of me, not another Gellert." Grindelwald continued. , "At your age, I am already ready to be the master of the Deathly Hallows, instead of pitying myself and saying: I need time. Like a resentful woman!"
In Grindelwald's view, the girl in front of him was indeed extremely talented, but she was not properly prepared and did not have a strong heart. She always looks forward and backward when doing things, delaying the opportunity, and does not have the calmness of a strong person at all. If she has always been like this, this talent will be a waste of time on her body.
Grindelwald's ridicule continued, he said: "I heard that you only killed three people, so you are worried that you will be addicted to the pleasure of killing and unable to extricate yourself, and then you are afraid of the left and right, and you are even more afraid of black magic? If that's the case, it would be better for you to put on some nice clothes and walk on the streets of Diagon Alley, or be hidden in a manor, rather than waving a magic wand, wasting your youth and wasting this beautiful skin."
Ada raised her head and looked directly at Grindelwald, the rage in her eyes could even burn him to death eight hundred times.
"What, do you find it unpleasant or disgusting? Then I apologize to you." Grindelwald stood up and slowly walked up the stairs. "You only deserve my sincere apology. Respect must be earned by yourself, and you, Do you have the strength and determination?”
Grindelwald's words were very harsh, as if he had given Ada a hard slap in the face, or like piercing her eardrum with a needle. There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum, but Grindelwald used this method to arouse Ada's shame, and in this way made Ada look directly at him.
If Ada looks at herself squarely and finds her strong heart, everyone will naturally be happy. If it fails to recover, it can only be said that Dumbledore has made a mistake and Ada is just a piece of mud that cannot be lifted up.
These words are indeed a bit cruel to say to a girl, and they are not something that should be endured at this age. If Ada was just an ordinary girl, no one would say these humiliating words to her. She would be cared for and loved, and she would receive dolls as gifts on her birthday or Christmas.
But Ada is not an ordinary girl. She has amazing talents, and she is destined to experience these winds and swords early. Either she will be stunningly talented and stand tall on the top of the mountains, or she will turn into soil and be trampled upon by others. It all depends on whether she has a firm belief and a heart that is not afraid of anything.
Ada, who was beaten to pieces, sat in her seat in despair and did not get up for a long time. Ada has been pursuing a more perfect operation of magic power and a more efficient way of fighting, but she has never paid attention to her own heart. Even if you have extreme strength, but without a matching heart, this strength still cannot be exerted.
Ada was afraid of Dumbledore's strength, afraid of Voldemort's return, worried that she would fall in love with killing, and stay away from the negative effects of black magic... too many things made her feel afraid, and her heart unknowingly became It is no longer sharp, and it has no courage to sacrifice me for anyone else.
So what if there is a system to help? Ada will only become the next Dumbledore's tool and the best knife in the hands of others, but will not become the next Dumbledore or Esmeralda Drizzt.
I don't know how long it took, but Ada finally woke up from her loss. She stood up and left the long table, and her emerald green eyes regained their luster.
She was still wearing the same clothes when she woke up in the morning, and she was still the same girl who hadn't celebrated her fifteenth birthday. Nothing had changed, but everything seemed to have changed.
