Hogwarts Emerald

Ada lay on the ground, listening to the silence. What you see is pure white, like clouds and illusions. There is no one around, and there are no suspicious sounds.

Even if she was really lying here, Ada was a little unsure. A few seconds ago, she was in a cemetery, and now she was lying here upright. This sudden change was beyond her comprehension.

Ada carefully recalled everything that happened in the cemetery. She was aware of the sneak attack from behind, and her body adjusted in time. She should have escaped the life-killing curse.

But now she appears here inexplicably, losing control of her body and unable to move.

Did he not escape completely and was scratched by the death curse? Or is this life just a dream after all?

After what seemed like an eternity, or perhaps no time at all, Ada regained control of her body. She moved her head. She was surrounded by white, and there seemed to be no end in sight.

After a while, Ada felt someone approaching her. She didn't get up. She just looked sideways. What caught his eye was a pair of small bare feet. The person walking over must be a child.

Looking up, she saw slender ankles and a pure white skirt. It was a girl.

The girl was about eight or nine years old. She was holding an ugly bear doll in her arms. Her appearance made Ada a little stunned. She was exactly the same as the little Ada in her memory.

A lot of confusion arose in Ada's heart, and she immediately sat up. Only then did Ada realize that the clothes she was wearing had also changed, becoming exactly the same style as the little girl's, but the color became relatively black.

One is black and one is white, one is large and one is small, all are relative.

The little Ada who looked like a girl looked curiously at the older Ada who was sitting on the ground. The little girl tilted her head, with the childlike charm unique to that age, and looked very cute.

Ada rubbed her long hair in confusion and asked tentatively: "Ada?"

Over the years, others have called her this. Now that she suddenly had to call others this, Ada felt particularly awkward.

The little girl nodded doubtfully, and replied in a cute childish voice: "Your name is Ada, my name is Ada, and we are both Ada. You are a weirdo, and I am also a weirdo, and we are all weirdos."

Weird? Indeed, even Lady Mary once said that Ada was a somewhat weird child. She was adopted twice and was abandoned both times. Isn't it because of Ada's frequent strange occurrences?

"Where are we?" Ada asked again. "Are we all dead?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know. I don't even know the questions you asked." Then, the little girl lay next to Ada's ear and said in a very low voice: "I have been hiding here. There are monsters outside. !”

"Monster?" Ada asked softly, "Oscurus?"

The little girl immediately covered Ada's mouth, and she said nervously: "Shh... keep your voice down, that monster is very scary! It did a lot of bad things with my body, and Mrs. Mary doesn't even like me anymore."

At the end of the sentence, the little girl's voice became aggrieved, her lips pouted, and her eyes became a little moist. For little Ada in the orphanage, after being abandoned twice, Lady Mary was her world.

"How long have you been here?" Ada asked the question in her heart again.

"I don't know, I have been hiding here since the monster came." The little girl said, "Then you came. After you came, the monster also hid. I haven't seen it for a long time. ”

At this point, the little girl paused for a moment, and then continued: "I think you must be an angel given to good children by God."

Ada blushed instantly. She was talking to "herself" and listening to herself "praising" herself. Even as shameless as she was, she couldn't bear it.

"The monster has disappeared. It was destroyed by me. Now you can leave here." Ada asked. This is another temptation for her to trick herself. She is probably the only one in the world who has had this experience.

The little girl shook her head like a rattle, and she resisted and said: "No, people outside regard me as a monster. They will scold me, throw stones at me, and sometimes beat me. Only Mrs. Mary and Nancy Auntie is good to me..."

Strange animals will be protected, but strange people will be ostracized. Muggles who didn't know what magic was were afraid of the strangeness in the little girl and regarded her as a monster. This fear gradually turned into bullying.

If ten people bully one person, that is bullying. If hundreds or thousands of people bully one person, that is not bullying. For an eight or nine-year-old girl, the human heart is far scarier than a monster.

Ada silently smoothed out the timeline, and she already had an idea in her mind. Here, this place does not exist in the present world at all, but a corner of her heart, her own thoughts.

The little girl in front of her does not really exist, nor is she the soul of the original owner who has died long ago, although she has the memories and feelings of the original owner.

Rather than describing the little girl as a soul, it is better to say that she is another side of Ada that was split from her heart, another personality that has never been revealed. It was Ada's own nightmare and sense of detachment from the world that created the existence of this little girl!

Ada still didn't stand up. She looked at the little girl and said, "I'm leaving. Do you want to go outside with me? The world outside is wonderful, and no one will bully us anymore."

The little girl still shook her head, but this time she was not so resistant. She whispered: "No, I still like it here better. There are no people and no monsters here."

"Are we going to separate? Will you never come again?" The little girl raised the question for the first time. She was a little reluctant to Ada, or to her own arrival.

Ada stood up, put her forehead against the little girl's forehead, and said softly: "You and I are both Ada. We are one person, so how can we be separated!"

One big and one small, one black and one white, the two laughed in unison, as warm as the sunshine in winter.

The little girl raised the ugly bear doll in her arms to Ada and said, "Here it is for you! This is my favorite doll. It was a birthday gift given to me by Mrs. Mary."

Ada took the bear doll and asked, "Want to go for a walk together?"

The little girl nodded vigorously, Ada stood up, took the little girl's hand, and walked in a random direction. The two barefooted people walked in the white world, as if they were walking on clouds.

The surrounding white mist changed its shape, and one scene after another appeared.

The London orphanage, the adoptee's home, Hogwarts, the Burrow, the cemetery in Little Whinging, the Champs Elysées...at the end of the scene is the unknown dark cemetery. .

At this time, Ada suddenly felt a lightness in her hand and turned to look, only to see the ugly bear doll disappear. Turning to the other side, the little girl in a white skirt also dissipated little by little, and finally merged into the gradually blurring scenery around her.

When the surrounding scenery was completely blurred into a mosaic, the pure white world suddenly darkened, and then became pitch black.

Ada felt herself lying on the ground again. This time she also felt the coolness brought by the ground and the bone-piercing pain that spread throughout her body.

The thickest layer of blood, the most vicious beating. It seems that Ada did not escape the death curse after all and achieved the achievement of "meeting Avada with her face".

The night wind blew, and Ada didn't feel anyone's breath around her. She moved her fingers slightly and touched the yew wand that had fallen to her hand.

Fortunately, no one saw her "body" and no one hurt her wand. Probably in the eyes of the other party, she is already a dead person, and a corpse cannot make any waves.

Ada slowly opened her eyes. The night sky was as dark as ink, which made people feel a little depressed.

A man's crazy and pious voice came out not far away. He chanted: "The bones of your father, donated unintentionally, can make your son reborn!"

Ada moved her body carefully, trying not to make any noise. The man's voice came again, and he intoned: "The flesh of your servant, given voluntarily, may bring about the rebirth of your master!"

The pain in her body gradually subsided, and Ada finally saw what happened in the cemetery. She saw Harry tied to the tombstone, saw Barty Crouch Jr. standing in front of a cauldron, and saw Foley kneeling tremblingly beside the cauldron.

Why is Barty Crouch Jr. here? Shouldn't he be at Hogwarts, patrolling the maze? What about Dumbledore, why hasn't he come yet?

Little Barty, standing in front of the cauldron, continued to chant devoutly: "The blood of your enemies is forced to be sacrificed, and it can revive your enemies!"

In an instant, the cauldron began to boil, and diamond-like sparks flew out in all directions, so bright and dazzling that everything around them turned into a color like black velvet.

It was too late, even if Dumbledore arrived now it would be too late.

Then, a man's black figure slowly rose from the cauldron. He was tall and thin, like a skeleton.
