The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 280 Chaser of Light

I can follow behind you, dreaming like a shadow chasing light.

For some reason, Ada thought of this line inexplicably.Even though Grindelwald never had her place in his heart, even if Grindelwald only regarded her as his most loyal subordinate, Vader still had no regrets, no hatred, no resentment in his heart.

Perhaps in Vader's heart, being able to follow Grindelwald is a gift!Vader is that light chaser, and Grindelwald is her light.

The grandfather and grandson left the noisy streets and returned to their home, which was once Grindelwald's stronghold.

Apart from staying in the decoration style of the 30s and [-]s, this house does not see anything related to Grindelwald at all.There is neither a portrait of Grindelwald nor a sign of the Deathly Hallows in the house.

If Vader didn't take the initiative to mention it, who would have thought that Grindelwald planned those earth-shattering events in this house back then.

Perhaps for Vader, after leaving the prison, he came back to live here alone because it has his own memories!There is no more high-spiritedness at the beginning, nor the disdain for the world, but only the bits and pieces of getting along with Grindelwald in the past.

How Vader slept that night, Ada didn't know, anyway, she herself suffered from insomnia.Ada was a little entangled in her heart, whether she should tell that she had been to Nurmengard and spent a month with Grindelwald.

Even though half a century has passed, the name Grindelwald is still influential. Will revealing his relationship with him cause unnecessary trouble in his life?

Early the next morning, Ada went downstairs with dark circles under her eyes to have breakfast with Vida. After this meal, she was about to leave for London.Although gold-rimmed glasses can play a blocking role, they can't hide from the eyes of those who are interested.

"Didn't you rest well last night?" Vader asked, "Is it still homesick?"

Living in Paris for just over a month cannot overwhelm England. After all, Ada has lived there for more than ten years, where she has her teachers, friends, and everything she is familiar with.

"It's just that I haven't rested well." Ada replied.She was still a little conflicted, her sensibility told her that she should speak out, but her rationality told her to shut up and keep silent.

"Have you packed everything? Clothes, accessories, and the gifts you bought." Vader asked again, "Also, remember to let me know when you arrive in London."

"It's all packed. Agnes packed it up last night." Ada didn't plan to struggle any further, "Grandmother, when you investigated my identity information, did you notice that I disappeared for a month? ?"

Not only Vader, but even Alan knew that Ada had disappeared for a month inexplicably. They only found out the reason for the disappearance, but they had no way of knowing where Ada had gone during this month.

There are only three people who know about this, not even the twins, so how can Vader and Alan on the other side of the strait know the truth?

Vida shook her head, she said: "I thought you were going to keep it a secret, are you planning to tell me?"

Everyone has their own secrets. Although Vader really wanted to know everything about Ida and what she had done this month, but she didn't want to talk about it, so Vader didn't ask.

"I spent that month in Nurmengard, and I learned a lot from Gellert Grindelwald." It felt so good to say it, and Ada instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

There was a brief pause in the movements of Vader's hands. She thought that Dumbledore took Ada somewhere to teach secretly that month, or was hidden somewhere by Dumbledore, and she would let Ada come back when the school was calm. .Never thought that Dumbledore would let Ada go to see Grindelwald.

"Is he alright?" Vader asked softly, her voice was unexpectedly calm without trembling.

This question is a little redundant. Living alone in Nurmengard for half a century, this loneliness is not something ordinary people can bear, let alone a long prison life?
Half a century of wastage and loneliness took away Grindelwald's health.The Dark Lord, who was once astonishing, has long since grown old, and now he is only alive.

"The body looks good. Although it is a bit old, but it can eat and sleep. The spirit is also good, and I still have the strength to quarrel with me!" Ada tried to pick something nice to say, she couldn't say Grindelwald's His health is very poor, and he is almost at the end of his life!

"Time is really ruthless, and he has reached this age in a flash..." Vader said softly, the deepest thoughts were hidden in the light words, and he expressed countless helplessness.

Once high-spirited, now only memories.Time is not forgiving, no matter how amazing and talented a person is, they will not be able to withstand the erosion of time after all.

A hero's twilight and a beauty's gray hair are the most helpless sorrows in this world.This kind of sorrow is the most sympathetic and most regrettable.

"I know the way to enter Nurmengard." Ada said, "There are no guards there either."

"He won't meet me." Vader politely rejected Ada's proposal.

This should have been an extremely sad sentence, but Vader said it calmly.Vader could neither face the old and frail Grindelwald nor let him see the afterglow of his own twilight.

Seeing each other is like not seeing each other, how can it be ruthless to be affectionate.

Some things can only be felt, but cannot be expressed in words.Ada has never experienced this. She doesn't know what it's like to be in the depths of love, so she came up with such an unreliable proposal.

"If you have a chance to see him again, say hello for me," Vader said.

She got up and left the restaurant. When she reached the door, she denied what she had just said.She said, "Forget it, no need."

Only Ada and Agnes were left in the restaurant. Ada asked inexplicably, "Agnes, did I say something wrong?"

"No, miss said nothing wrong." Agnes replied, "You can't understand it because you haven't experienced similar feelings. It's your luck."

After breakfast, Ada and Agnes made a final inventory together to see if they had left anything behind.

Meanwhile, Vader was lost in thought in an empty bedroom.She was sitting on a chair, looking out the window into the distance, and the sky in Paris seemed to be shrouded in black silk again.

The knock on the door awakened Vader, who was lost in memory, she put down the girdle in her hand, and asked, "Is it time?"

"Yes, grandma, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Aidada walked to her grandmother.

After living here for more than a month, this is the first time Ada has entered this bedroom.The bedroom is fully furnished, but it is always empty and usually locked.

Vader held Ada gently in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "I haven't given you the gift of being a prefect yet." After speaking, Vader let go of Ada, and Ada's fair neck Except for a rose gold necklace.

Vader asked: "How is it, do you like it?"

"I like it," Ada said.She picked up the pendant and observed it carefully, and she found that the rose shape of the pendant was composed of a string of letters, which was her grandmother's name - Vida Rozier.

And in the stamen part of the rose is also dotted with a delicate emerald gemstone.

"This necklace has accompanied me for many years, and now it is yours." Vader said, "I hope it can bring you good luck."

　The branch line in Paris is temporarily over, and Ada's life experience is basically sorted out, and then I will return to the main line!
