The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 269 Half Rozier

Although this summer vacation has just started, it can be described as terrible. I was bullied by Borgin and Burke, watched like a monkey, monitored by unknown people, and Dumbledore showed concern for me out of the blue, and I had to learn French for no apparent reason.

Destroy it, quickly, I'm tired.

Fred and George would lock themselves in the room during the day. They decided to conduct trial sales at school after the semester started. However, their small-workshop production model was doomed to prevent mass production.

At night, the twins would walk around the village with Ada to relax her. Companionship is the most lasting way to spend time together. Laughing and playing together, joking and scolding, made this summer vacation what it should be.

However, Ada couldn't stay in the Burrow forever. Although she had already planned to quit her job as a housekeeper, the time was not right yet. Before she could thoroughly investigate the other party's purpose and intention, she had better continue to show up in public.

Fortunately, as the days passed, the credulous onlookers gradually dispersed. After all, Ada did not have three heads and six arms, nor did she show any strange qualities, so her appeal had declined.

Old Tom, who looked ten years younger, suddenly looked old again, and he no longer laughed creepily when counting money. It seemed that everything had returned to normal, but there was an undercurrent that others didn't know about.

With the departure of the enthusiastic crowd, the Leaky Cauldron became much quieter, and even Ada's work became a little easier. In her spare time, Ada could also conduct reverse surveillance and occasionally read French books.

Ada is indeed a genius, and she has mastered several French words, such as the gentle "zut", the slightly rude "enculer", and "merde", "fils de pute" and so on.

Yes, they are all swear words. However, Ada learned these not to curse others, but to prevent herself from being cursed by others without understanding what the other person is saying.

After all, from personal experience, Ada has been scolded a lot over the years, although most of the time it was behind her back.

She was not like that. She was not weak. She would repay kindness and take revenge. This was Esmeralda Drizzt.

In recent days, the atmosphere in the Leaky Cauldron has become a little weird. The gloomy owner, the shriveled Walnut Bar, the blonde receptionist holding a thick dictionary, and the foreign guests with ill intentions, everyone has his or her own little thoughts.

No matter what the opponent's purpose is, now is the time for both sides to test their patience. As long as the opponent can't hold on, Ada can turn passive into active and take control of the opponent's whereabouts.

In order to prevent the other party from quietly canceling the surveillance like last year, Ada felt that she should take the initiative to do something to put pressure on the other party and make them anxious.

When working at the Leaky Cauldron, Ada would approach them and chat with them to create a feeling that they had been exposed. In addition, Ada kept adjusting her work and get off work hours to make her life irregular and increase the difficulty of surveillance.

Soon, this oppression took effect, or rather, had a counter-effect, and there was only one group left in the bar staring at her.

The average age of this group of people was a bit older, and their clothes were somewhat retro. In their daily interactions, they didn't care about Ada's approach at all, as if they didn't care whether Ada discovered them or not.

Moreover, after Ada came into contact with them, they seemed to let themselves go and did not hide their behavior at all.

When Ada came to the bar, they would appear soon; when Ada left, they would leave immediately; when they chatted, their language became richer, and in addition to English, they would also use French or other languages.

Ada couldn't handle this trick. She looked at them talking in confusion. Did they give up? They didn't play by the rules at all! However, what happened next made Ada doubt her life. She thought that either the other party was not smart, or she was not smart. Anyway, one of them must have a problem with his brain.

That day, Ada was on vacation, so she took some time to go to Little Whinging to pay respect to Lady Mary. However, not long after she put down the bouquet, she discovered that the middle-aged and elderly monitors appeared in the cemetery.

The leader was a very old wizard, with a white beard longer than Dumbledore's. It was a taboo to show up in front of the target in a swaggering manner. Even Tonks, who had not yet completed Auror training, knew this, but the other party did it anyway.

What was even more strange was that when Ada took out her wand and pointed it at them, the other party not only did not stop, but did not even take out their wands. The old man who led the group did take out something from his pocket, but that thing was definitely not lethal.

The white-haired old man took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, with a blooming rose embroidered on one corner. He waved the white handkerchief like a white flag, then raised his hands and walked to Ada's side.

"Finally we meet Esmeralda Drizzt." said the white-haired old man, "I'm Thierry Rosier, from the ancient Rosier family." The old man spoke very good English and it didn't make people feel awkward.

"I don't think I have any connection with you guys." Ada didn't relax her guard, but quietly moved away from the other party. She thought about it and realized that there seemed to be no student named Rozier in the school, so she should not have had any grudges with the other party.

Ada has offended so many people that sometimes she can't even remember who she has offended.

Thierry did not respond, but took a bouquet of flowers from another person and placed it in front of Lady Mary's tombstone. Thierry said: "I don't like Muggles, but this lady lying here is an exception."

"What do you mean?" Ada's mind began to work rapidly.

Not only did the other party not show any hostility, but they continued to show their goodwill. For a pure-blood family to look at a deceased Muggle in this way, did the sun not rise from the west today?
"In December 1977, this kind lady took in a girl and raised her until she was 12 years old." Thierry said slowly, "In the summer of 12, the girl received an admission notice from Hogwarts... although she should have gone to Beauxbatons."

Ida interrupted the old man rudely and said, "What crazy things are you talking about?"

1977 and 1989, these two time points may not explain anything, but Lady Mary, a Muggle, is enough to explain everything. Moreover, the other party clearly came for him.

"It's not crazy talk, it's about your life story." Thierry said, "Although many Rosier think you don't deserve the last name Rosier, of course I am one of them. But this can't change the fact that half of the blood in your body belongs to Rosier."

The dream came true. The joke in the past has now become a reality. I am really the daughter of a big family who has been lost among the people. But what remains unchanged is that I am still the annoying one.

Half-blood wizards from pure-blood families, think of Tonks, and then think of her mother Andromeda.

Ada frowned. She knew that the other party had no reason to joke about such a thing. Pure-blood families would not do it in such a shameful way. But Ada still couldn't accept it. It was too sudden.

"So, you are here to erase me and remove the shame of your family, right?" Ada asked. It was clearly a question, but Ada said it with certainty.

Thierry Rosier looked at Ada with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you are very familiar with the style of pure-blood families. But generally speaking, people who know too much will not end up well."
