The Emerald at Hogwarts

It was night, the wedding ended, the guests left, and the Burrow returned to its former peace and tranquility. The driven goblins also returned home under the cover of night. These annoying little guys liked the Burrow.

There is a shed dedicated to Mr. Weasley in the small courtyard of the Burrow, which is filled with many old things from the Muggle world, such as wires and sockets.The Anglia that ran in the Forbidden Forest was modified here.

The lights were on in the shed, and four figures could be vaguely distinguished.

Mr. Weasley was sitting at a workbench, using a screwdriver to remove a socket; Sirius sighed at a pile of scrap metal, the remains of a motorcycle that Harry had broken down that night.

Kingsley sat across from Ada, looking at her intently.

As for Ada, she was actually playing with a rubber duck and some other toys that Muggle children played with. She was really childlike.

When Remus Lupine returned to the Burrow (he had sent Tonks home first) and walked into this shed filled with debris, Ada's childlike innocence was confiscated by Sirius.

Taking the rubber duck away with his hands, Sirius threw the poor duck with one hand and asked, "Can we tell it now! The big secret about the Dark Lord that cannot be told."

This secret is not the same power. Not only is it ugly, it is also terrifying and bloody.

Ada took out the fake locket and the destroyed locket and placed them on the table together.

Kingsley suspiciously picked up the locket and looked at it carefully. Mr. Weasley stopped disassembling the socket and came over to watch it together.Sirius picked up the note and looked at his brother's handwriting.

"Horcrux... Horcrux," Sirius looked at Ada, "What is that?"

"Of course it is the Dark Lord's biggest secret." Ada replied, "This is the reason why he was not killed by the rebounding Death Curse that night in Godric's Hollow, and the reason why he was able to be resurrected in Little Hangleton. .”

Kingsley put down the locket and said doubtfully: "I have never heard that there is magic that can resurrect people in this world."

With that said, Kingsley looked at the others. Sirius and Mr. Weasley shook their heads together, and Lupine leaned against the pillar, looking worried.Lupine shook his head only when Kingsley asked him.

"Indeed, essentially the Dark Lord is not resurrected." Ada explained. She picked up the locket. "This thing saved him from death, but he only lost his body and power."

Sirius clenched the paper in his hand tightly and said loudly: "Now that you have destroyed this locket, does it mean that we can defeat the Dark Lord? Just like Regulus said! "

Hearing this, Kingsley also turned to look at Ada, hoping to get a positive answer from her.

Without Ada answering, Mr. Weasley broke their illusions.

"Ginny!" Mr. Weasley said suddenly, "Ginny's diary, the diary where she was bewitched by the mysterious man!"

The Chamber of Secrets opened in 1992, and Ginny almost died in the Chamber of Secrets in 1993.After rescuing Ginny, Dumbledore told the Weasleys the whole story.

Listening to Ada explaining the function of Horcrux tonight, Mr. Weasley immediately thought of the evil diary.

Ada nodded and confirmed Mr. Weasley's guess. Sirius and Kingsley looked confused. They didn't know what happened in the Chamber of Secrets that year, nor did they know Tom Riddle's diary.

Lupine, who was leaning against the pillar, was still the same as before, seeming to be listening to everyone, but also not listening.

As Mr. Weasley explained the diary, Ada quietly observed Lupine's face.It's not a full moon tonight, it's still a long time before the full moon, and Lupine doesn't look like he's feeling unwell.

As if aware of Ada's inquiring gaze, Lu Ping put away his worried look and joined the discussion on Horcruxes.

As an excellent Auror, magical attainments are important, but meticulous observation is also indispensable.Kingsley said in a deep voice: "The diary was placed with Malfoy, and Malfoy had no idea about the purpose of the diary... With such a casual way of handling it, I'm afraid there are far more Horcruxes than these two."

There was a moment of silence in the shed. Everyone present was smart. Whatever Kingsley thought of, they naturally thought of it too.Even if your mind is not spinning so fast, someone has already given the correct answer, so you can still get hints.

"Yes, as long as there is still one Horcrux in the world, the Dark Lord cannot be killed." Ada said, "Even if we defeat him, he will come back one day in the future."

Ada had also thought that regardless of Sanqi 21, she would first gather all her strength to kill Voldemort, and then calmly search for the whereabouts of the Horcruxes.

This method can reduce casualties to a certain extent, but it only temporarily delays Voldemort's harm.If you want to completely eliminate him, you need to invite him to drink the old father's Shiquan Tonic Decoction again, which is an extra step.

Not to mention whether Old Tom's bones can still be found after the fire in Little Hangleton. Judging from Voldemort's current behavior, it will not be easy to kill him.

So Ada has always been working on a two-pronged approach, searching for Horcruxes while seeking a chance to fight Voldemort.

If we can find all the Horcruxes first, we can solve the problem once and for all; if we can find the opportunity for a decisive battle first, we can put out the flames of war first.

Ada didn't have Dumbledore's ability to predict the enemy's plans first, nor could she prepare for a rainy day.Taking every step steadily and watching and thinking along the way is the most suitable for Ada at this stage.

"Is there anything we can do to help you?" Kingsley asked. "Gathering clues, or looking out for something?"

As Kingsley asked the question, the frustration on the four faces disappeared, and their determination to resist Voldemort became stronger.

From the first day they resisted Voldemort, they knew how rugged and difficult this road was, but they still embarked on this road without hesitation.

Ada shook her head. She didn't need the help of the four people for the time being.Ravenclaw's diadem was hidden in Hogwarts, and they were not at school on weekdays, so they could not search the castle; the remaining Horcrux was taken by Voldemort, and the four of them were even less able to access it.

This vital information came from undercover ace Snape, or rather from Dumbledore.

Before the Order of the Phoenix transferred Harry, Ada had secretly contacted Snape to learn about his "stand-in" plan, how he "betrayed" Harry to Voldemort, and what Dumbledore's arrangements were before his death.

Not to mention being cunning, Dumbledore had already arranged his plans after his death.He gave Snape, who had returned to darkness, an important task to observe the big snake around Voldemort.

[...If at some point, Voldemort no longer sends the big snake to carry out orders, but lets it stay by his side and protect it with magic...]

This is one of Dumbledore's legacy.Snape couldn't understand the meaning and didn't know Dumbledore's intention, but Ada understood it immediately - the big snake named Nagini was the last Horcrux!

Making a living creature into a Horcrux and taking it with you was a completely unexpected choice.Without Snape's words, Ada might not have imagined that she would become a bald girl.

"No need for the moment, I already have a plan." Ada said, "If Regulus's name appears in the Daily Prophet one day, it means that the moment of decisive battle has arrived."
