Chapter 123 A familiar story

As expected of a notorious dark wizard, he could easily change other people's opinions. If Cecil wanted to, could he forcibly change a person's will and then make him commit suicide? This method of deceiving people is really terrifying, and many things can be accomplished silently.

Ada didn't know how Cecil did it, if it was magic, but Ada didn't feel any magic fluctuation at all. This method looks more like hypnosis or psychological suggestion, but the latter two are far from as easy and unpredictable as Cecil.

Fortunately, Ada still had the "last glory". The ring's passive and unswerving determination was prepared to deal with this kind of "chat". It was the flash of clear light that just passed by that woke Ada up, and she was not trapped. Cecil once again lied about being lame. After buying a wheelchair, he still wanted to say thank you.

Cecil has been influenced by this method twice, and this is only the number of times she knows about it. Who knows if there are still others that have not been discovered? How could Ada, who had always had a bad temper, endure it? She immediately closed her eyes and stared at Cecil.

Anyone with good eyesight can see Ada's anger, because she didn't hide her intentions at all. Her eyes and slightly floating golden hair all showed her anger.

An angry person is likely to do anything. Just like Muggle murders, passion is always the most common.

Cecil didn't expect Ada to fall out as soon as she said she wanted to. Of course he knew why Ada was angry, and he also knew that if he flirted with her again or made any changes, Ada would really dare to take action against him. Cecil, who had lost his temper, put away his smile, took two steps back and spread his hands, signaling to Ada that he had no weapons in his hands.

"It's my fault to use this method to force you to agree with my point of view." Cecil said, "But if you don't have any trust in me, this kind of magic will not work at all."

This method was discovered by Cecil from an ancient book. This kind of magic does not require any magic power to activate. All it requires is trust. This is a kind of magic specially used to stab one's own people and to betray.

On the edge of the Black Lake, Cecil used his identity as a professor to pave the way in advance, and used such a tragic story to give Ada a foundation of trust in him, and finally he was able to successfully cast a spell on Ada.

In addition, there is a price to pay for performing this kind of magic. The greater the impact and damage caused, the greater the price you have to pay. Today he just forced Ada to agree with his point of view, so it had no impact on him. But the last time he cast a spell on the edge of the Black Lake cost him a lot. That cast aggravated the burden on his body.

"This is the so-called trust. Even a professor who was very good to you before will trick you once when you are not paying attention, or simply push you into an abyss." Cecil said, "That's why I said Trust no one unless you have the strength to face possible betrayal.”

"Perhaps I am a little naive, but I still want to believe that there are people in this world that I can trust unconditionally." Ada said, "The more you are in darkness, the more you have to yearn for the light, otherwise you will be assimilated by the darkness. "

"Let me tell you another story I heard in Azkaban! I personally guarantee that this time it is true, but it's up to you to believe it or not." Cecil didn't care whether Ada wanted to hear it or not. He started telling the story, "Once upon a time, there were four Gryffindor boys. They had a better relationship than you have with the Weasley twins."

"Let me call the protagonist of the story J. J and the other three people lived and ate together for seven years. Even after graduation, they can still entrust their backs to one of the other three people. Any one. The strong friendship between the four people could have lasted a lifetime. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A very terrible dark wizard targeted J and wanted to kill him. But J and the other three people combined were not the black wizard. The wizard's opponent, so J had to hide and protect his hiding place with the Loyalty Charm, and the secret keeper was one of the other three."

Before Cecil finished telling his story, he turned to Ada and said, "Is this life-long friendship better than the relationship between you and the two Mr. Weasleys? Do you think J must be very good?" Safe because his good brother won’t betray him?”

This story sounds familiar, but there is something missing. It is an abridged version, but the ending should remain the same. J’s friend betrayed him in the end, and he also lost his life.

Even if Ada has never heard this story, she can guess that J will definitely not end well. Cecil has been saying not to trust others. If everyone is happy at the end of the story, wouldn't Cecil slap himself in the face for fun? ?

Ada, who knew the ending of the story, answered truthfully: "J was betrayed by his friend. He died. The friend who betrayed him was imprisoned in Azkaban."

"Yes, he was betrayed by the person he trusted most and died in the hands of a dark wizard." Cecil continued, "The only people in this world who can be trusted a little are his parents, and no one else can be trusted. But...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to expose your scars on purpose."

Cecil talked so much today, just to tell Ada that when she doesn't have enough ability, don't trust anyone. The only one she can trust is herself.

The idea is very selfish and dark, but it is close enough to reality, because the truth is always so cruel that people cannot look directly at it.

"Have you really never trusted anyone in your life?" Ada asked, her tone of voice was very bad, and she did not use any honorific.

Cecil lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he said, "There was once, but she betrayed me. She was also the first person I killed with black magic."

After just saying this simple sentence, Cecil did not continue. Although decades had passed, he still did not want to mention this matter. When he died, this matter would also die with him. .

Glancing at the sky, Cecil whispered: "It's almost time."

"What?" Cecil's voice was too low, and Ada didn't hear it clearly.

"You and me, it's time for us to leave the cemetery."

"Professor McGonagall will pick me up in the afternoon. I won't go anywhere without seeing her." Ada said. Now that Cecil has no credibility with her, she will not follow her. He leaves.

"If you don't want this late lady's tombstone to be damaged, it's best to come with me." Cecil's soft tone persuaded Ada to leave the cemetery with him.

But these words sounded particularly harsh to Ada, making her feel that Cecil was using Lady Mary's tomb to threaten her into submission.

Ada stood opposite Cecil, blocking Lady Mary's tomb behind her. At the same time, she raised her wand. She said: "If you want to leave, you can go by yourself. I will not leave with you. Professor McGonagall will be here soon."

The moment she raised her wand, it meant that Ada had officially broken up with Professor Cecil, and at the same time borrowed the name of Professor McGonagall, hoping to scare Cecil.

Cecil felt more and more that he had lost his temper. He should not have used that magic just now, and things would not have become so difficult. Usually Ada always showed her well-behaved side in front of the professors, causing them to ignore her. He's a Gryffindor with a bad temper.

Now he didn't know how to persuade Ada to follow him and leave the cemetery. Cecil didn't want him to die in the cemetery in one step. Was it too late for him to dig a hole in the cemetery now?

In fact, Cecil didn't have to think about how to persuade Ada at all, because just as he was racking his brains, someone was trying to persuade Ada on his behalf. Three spells with great malice came directly from three different directions. Shot at him and Ada.
