The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 273: Summer in Paris (Part 1 of the Extra Chapter for the Leader)
The two people in the room no longer hugged each other and cried, but sat on the sofa together.

Ada didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. Should she ask about her parents directly, or comfort the old man, or act cute first? Although women who act cute have the best life, Ada really doesn't know how to do it. She hasn't practiced it!
Vida Rozier also did not speak, she just held Ada's hand and looked at her granddaughter quietly. She knew how much this girl had suffered, and how much pain she had endured.

Vida knew exactly what the orphanage was like, and she was glad that Ada met the kind-hearted Lady Mary, instead of falling into the hands of an anti-witch organization like Second Salem like Credence.

The origin of the Second Salem can be traced back to the witch trials that took place in the British colony of Massachusetts in 1692. The daughter of a local pastor fell ill with a strange disease, and rumors of witchcraft quickly spread in the village.

But in fact, these children just suffered from "dancing disease", which had nothing to do with wizards.

The year was 1692, and the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, officially signed in 1689, had come into effect. Wizards went into hiding and had no interest in this North American village at all.

This disease caused by fungi was rumored to be the result of witchcraft, and they eventually selected three witches for trial. In the summer of that year, 19 people were sent to the gallows, 4 died in prison, and more than 200 people were arrested and tried.

It was not until last year, in 1992, that the Salem witch trials were vindicated and the victims' reputations were restored. However, the second Salem that emerged in the past three hundred years, this evil organization, persecuted many people.

What's funny is that the leaders of Second Salem are actually descendants of Squibs.

Vida thought of Credence, who was also born in an orphanage, and was still happy that Ada did not become an Obscurus. But what she didn't know was that Ada did become an Obscurus, and only four people knew about it.

"I know you have a lot of questions now, but it doesn't matter. I will tell you everything." Vida held Ada's hand and said, "We still have a lot of time."

"My father, what kind of person is he?" Ida asked, "and what kind of person is my mother?"

Vida took Louis' photo album and showed it to Ada one by one, telling her how old Louis was or why the photo was taken. Through the photos and Vida's explanation, Ada got to know her biological father to a certain extent.

Appearance reflects the heart. Louis is as cold as the wind when dealing with outsiders, but as warm as spring when dealing with his family. He and Ada have some similarities in character. However, Louis is more gentle and not as strong as Ada.

Under Vader's arrangement, Louis went to Durmstrang School of Magic and graduated with excellent grades. Vader placed all his hopes on Louis, and Louis never let Vader down.

After graduation, Louis, who was so outstanding that he shined, went to work in the French Ministry of Magic. He treated all his colleagues equally, and did not get close to them because they were pure-blooded, nor did he distance himself from them because they were not pure-blooded.

Coupled with Rozier's last name, Louis gained a lot of prestige.

With Vida's support, Louis also launched an attack on the position of head of the Rozier family, and his opponent was the first opponent in his life - Alan Rozier.

Although the French Rosier family is not as good as the British Malfoy family or the Lestrange family, it is not a small family. The head of the family is the helmsman of the entire family, and the family's rise and fall, honor and disgrace all depend on one person.

This spot once belonged to Vida Rozier.

In the competition for the head of the family, Louis has always been in the leading position thanks to his own excellence and Vida's teaching by example. Alan Rozier can't even see his back.

But in the summer of 1975, a girl from England broke into Louis Rozier's world and changed Louis' life. This blonde girl was Jessica Taylor, Ada's mother, an ordinary Muggle.

And Ada's full name is Esmeralda Jessica Drizzt.

Whether it is the first name, the last name, or the Christian name, none of them has much to do with the wizarding world, and Louis is not a student of Hogwarts at all. Even if Ada finds someone with a similar name in Hogwarts, she will not know her origins. The summer of Paris in 1975, or more accurately, Louis' summer, became brighter because of the arrival of the blonde Jessica.

That day, Louis went to the Seine River by some strange means, and he met Jessica Taylor near Notre Dame. Louis swore that he had never seen such a beautiful girl.

All love at first sight is just based on lust. Louis' love for Jessica at first sight was just because he wanted her body. It would be great if Jessica was not a Muggle or Louis was not a wizard.

Louis knew that his mother would not agree, so he did not get too close to the girl. Louis just followed her, protected her, and dealt with several pickpockets who had bad intentions towards her.

Everything that happened that day was like a dream. The heir of an ancient pure-blood family fell in love with an ordinary Muggle girl. There seemed to be no other way to describe it except melodramatic.

Louis hid this desire deep in his heart. He did not want to go against his mother's wishes or her arrangements. In a few years, he would marry a daughter of a pure-blood family under his mother's arrangement and then give birth to a pure-blood child.

This is Louis' fate, a life that is clearly arranged. As for that girl, let her stay in his heart forever!
But fate always likes to play tricks on people, Louis Rozier met Jessica Taylor again. This time, he could no longer control his heart.

He changed his name to Louis Trist, and he accompanied Jessica on a tour of Paris.

Because of Jessica, Louis was deprived of his qualification as the family heir; because of Jessica, Louis became the shame of the Rosier family; because of Jessica, Louis contradicted his mother for the first time in his life.

In the winter of 1975, Louis left home secretly despite Vader's opposition, leaving behind all his glory, and came alone to England, which was shrouded in the shadow of Voldemort.

There was no blessing for the wedding and no hope for the marriage, but Louis and Jessica tried their best to maintain this small and warm home.

In 1977, the arrival of a little life made this little home even warmer.

Louis named his daughter Esmeralda to commemorate the Notre Dame de Paris where they first met. At the same time, Louis and Jessica also hoped that their daughter could be as beautiful and kind as Esmeralda in the book.

Well, the intention and desire were good, but Ada only accomplished the first half - beauty.

"This is the worst decision I have ever made in my life." Vida's cheeks were covered with tears. She had never been so weak in her life. "Because of this wrong decision, I lost my proud son, my daughter-in-law, and you."

Aida held Vida's hand tightly, giving her strength. These hands that once changed the world could not protect her son, and could not even avenge him.

"I only found your father's body, and there were no wounds on his body." Vida continued.

Ada gently wiped away the tears from Vida's eyes and asked softly, "What about my mother?"

"I don't know. Louis didn't leave any clues about you or your mother." Vida replied, "I even thought you lived with Jessica."
