Chapter 587 Legend

Where does a wizard's magical power come from?

The magic world has been discussing this issue for thousands of years. Some people say that magic comes from the soul, while others say that magic comes from blood.

The Department of Mysteries has been studying the mysteries of the soul, but has never gained anything. The dark wizards created Horcruxes to slice up souls, but apart from evil immortality, they also failed to prove that magic came from the soul.

Since the soul theory has never been proven convincingly, most people agree with the view that magic comes from blood. This view is more intuitive and easy to observe. Some special bloodlines can also bring extraordinary effects.

For example, Rubeus Hagrid has giant blood, which makes him tall, has high magic resistance, and has thick skin; for example, Filius Flitwick has elf blood, which gives him extremely high talents; and again For example, Fleur Delacour's Veela blood gave her beauty and talents beyond ordinary people.

It is precisely because of these visible bloodline inheritances that some people are as proud of their bloodlines as they are of horse racing and famous dogs.

The blood theory took shape and gradually evolved into today's chain of contempt: pure-blood family wizards > pure-blood wizards > mixed-blood wizards > Muggle-born wizards (Mudbloods) > Muggles (including squibs).

Even a wizard like Hermione who comes from a Muggle family can trace the shadow of wizards in her family tree. It may be a wizard hiding among Muggles, or it may be from a squib. In short, this power hidden in the blood has reawakened in Hermione.

Based on bloodline theory, whether a person can become a wizard is determined by his bloodline. The children of wizards will basically be wizards, and children of pure Muggle blood will always be Muggles.

It's hard to accept that if you want to become a wizard, you have no choice but to get a good child. Being born equal seems like a joke.

After entering Hogwarts, based on the theory of blood, Ada once looked through the school's student roster in an attempt to find her roots. But Louis was not a student at Hogwarts, and since he grew up in France, he would not go all the way to Scotland to go to school, so Ada learned nothing.

Later, a basilisk attack occurred. In order to find the heir of Slytherin, Ada looked through the wizarding genealogy she could find, and finally found Gaunt's head, the last bloodline of Slytherin.

When the complicated genealogy of the wizard family was placed in front of Ada, she realized that the blood relationships between wizard families were constantly cut and confused. The vast majority of wizard families were related, both near and far.

For example, in the rows of tombstones in front of you, Doria Potter's maiden name was Black, and her name appears in the genealogy of No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

There was another woman in the Blake family, her name was Lucretia, who later married Ignatius Prewett. Mrs. Weasley's maiden name was Prewett, and Percy's Christian name was Ignatius. Do you think it's a coincidence?

Therefore, the British Wizarding War was just an internal strife between relatives, very similar to the wars between Muggles in European history.

It was precisely because of consulting a large amount of information and clarifying the blood connections between wizard families that Ada was able to find clues about the Deathly Hallows. By chance, Ada discovered a crucial clue: a woman named Peverell married into the Potter family.

That was many, many years ago. Apart from those who devoted themselves to studying the inheritance of wizard family genealogy, probably only idle people like Ada would be interested.

Ada’s knowledge is so complex! Almost drowned in the ocean of knowledge.

Of course, just discovering the connection between the two families is not enough. Many people regard the three Peverell brothers and the Deathly Hallows as legends, and even fewer people can think that the Deathly Hallows may be in the Potter family. And little.

Ada didn't realize this at first, until she talked about the Deathly Hallows with Grindelwald, until she learned about the Invisibility Cloak in Harry Potter's hands, the ancestral Invisibility Cloak.

Peverell married into the Potter family, the ancestral invisibility cloak, Godric's Hollow, and the tombstone of Ignotus, isn't this a coincidence!

Through these known clues, Ada concluded that Harry's invisibility cloak was Ignotus's invisibility cloak, one of the Deathly Hallows! That's why when Fred asked, she said it was within reach.

It's not easy to get the Invisibility Cloak from Harry. Harry himself has lost this treasure, more than once.

Ada herself deduced the whereabouts of the Invisibility Cloak and learned the whereabouts of the Elder Wand from Grindelwald. This means that Ada has found two Deathly Hallows, and only Cadmus' Resurrection Stone is still missing.

Although she found them, Ada couldn't keep these two treasures as her own. The Invisibility Cloak belongs to Harry, and Ada has no interest in snatching it; the Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hands and is unlikely to be obtained in the short term.

Like entering the treasure mountain and returning empty-handed, Ada found two Deathly Hallows, but it was no different than not finding them. Ada didn't know whether she should be happy or sad at the moment.

The twins felt the same way at this moment. The legendary Deathly Hallows was right in front of them, but they could only watch it from a distance. This feeling was so uncomfortable and heart-wrenching.

"Godric's Hollow, besides Ignotus and the Deathly Hallows, is there anything else that attracts you?" George asked, trying to change the subject and soothe the atmosphere of the cemetery.

No pot was left untouched, and George just asked Ada what she had planned.

From George's understanding, it is impossible for her to come all the way here just to verify Ignotus's tombstone because she has the attributes of a homebody. She must have other purposes.

"You are really a roundworm in my stomach, George." Ada said, "It's just a tombstone. It can't escape. Just find someone to take a look. I came to Godric's Hollow to see if there is a Gryffin. Clues to multiple relics.”

Salazar Slytherin has a ring and locket, Helga Hufflepuff has a golden cup, Rowena Ravenclaw has a diadem, and Godric Gryffindor naturally has treasures passed down to the world.

There are two pieces in total, the tattered Sorting Hat and the sword made by goblins.

The Sorting Hat is in Hogwarts, stored in the principal's room, and is taken out for use every year at the beginning of the school year. The sword of Gryffindor has not appeared for many years, at least Ada has not heard of it.

Gryffindor's sword was made by goblins a thousand years ago. The sword was made of pure silver and inlaid with rubies. Godric Gryffindor's name was engraved under the hilt.

Master of sword and stick, master of magic and martial arts, you are worthy of being Godric Gryffindor!

As Gryffindor's heirloom treasure, Voldemort must covet it and want to make the sword into a Horcrux, just like the ring and the gold cup.

As a student of Gryffindor House, Ada will never allow such a thing to happen and strongly condemns this shameful wasteful behavior!

"Then have you found it?" Fred looked around confusedly. Forgive his blindness, he didn't notice anything along the way. If Ada hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed Ignotus's tombstone.

"No." Ada said helplessly, "I just wanted to give it a try and see if there are any clues left here."

Gryffindor's sword has been around for more than a thousand years and has appeared in history. There are many legends about it.

Some say that Gryffindor stole the sword from its maker, Legnarc I, some say that the sword is hidden in Godric's Hollow, and some say that the sword has been recovered and protected by the goblins. What? There are rumors.

There is another legend, some like King Arthur's Sword in the Stone. It is said that only a true Gryffindor can find the sword.

This is also the situation that Ada hopes to happen most. No matter what she thinks, Voldemort will not be the real Gryffindor, so the sword will not be made into a Horcrux.

If this is the case, the only relic left of the Big Four is the Ravenclaw diadem.
