The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 274: Undercurrents (Part 2 of the Extra Chapter for the Alliance Leader)

Her biological father died in a foreign land, and her biological mother was nowhere to be found, but fortunately, her grandmother was still alive, otherwise Ada's fate would be no different from that of a lonely star.

Vida did not find out what happened to Louis in England that year. Why did Ada appear at the door of the orphanage, why was Jessica missing, and why did he die so suddenly? Not even a clue was left.

Everything can only be associated and inferred from his uninjured body and what happened in the British Isles at that time. Vida believes that it is very likely that someone discovered Louis's identity as a wizard and knew that he married a Muggle. It was these two things that attracted others to hunt him down, and the people who hunted Louis down were most likely Death Eaters.

Most of the Death Eaters are pure-blooded, including Louis' relatives and the Rosier branch of England.

But this was just the old woman's speculation. No one would come forward to admit to murder, not to mention that it would invite revenge from Vader. The Death Eaters were not fools. Who would be willing to accept such a thankless task?

From that day on, Ada lived in this house that was still in the 1920s and 1930s. Ada had her own suite and even a large dressing room. She experienced the life of the rich in the magic world.

Neither the grandparents nor the grandchildren ever mentioned Louis and Jessica again, as these past events were full of sadness.

Every morning, Ada would help Vida take a walk in the residential area, and in the evening, the two would sit together and talk about the interesting things that Ada had experienced at school.

She only reported good news and not bad news. If Vida did not ask about dangerous things, Ada would not say a word. She also did not tell her grandmother many of Ada's secrets. As Dumbledore said, many things do not need to be known to everyone.

Vida's house is right next to the famous Champs Elysees. During the day, Ada would stroll along this street, or go to the "Diagon Alley" in France, which is not far from here.

Compared to Diagon Alley behind the Leaky Cauldron, this place is more like a bustling shopping mall with a crossroads, and the intersection is a large brick-paved square.

In addition to the two main shopping streets, east-west and north-south, there are also some crooked and narrow alleys leading to other less popular trading shops.

Whether in Muggle society or the wizarding world, Paris deserves the title of fashion capital.

Soon, Ada's huge cloakroom was filled with clothes, shoes and hats. Ada finally experienced the pleasure of buying things without asking the price.

In this world, there are always some people who can only go back to inherit the family property if they don’t work hard, and Ada is one of them now.

The joy of recovering what was lost made Vida Rozier somewhat dote on Ada. For many things, Ada would just take a closer look at them and Vida would buy them home directly, showing the word "rich" to the fullest.

Gold Galleons may not be able to make up for more than ten years of missing family affection, but shopping is really fun!
While the grandparents and grandchildren were enjoying the family happiness, the Rozier family was not happy at all. Although Vida had become obsolete due to time, the news that the Rozier family had a new mixed-race member still spread like wildfire.

In just a few days, the Rosier family became the object of ridicule by other pure-blood families. This made the Rosier family unable to sit still, as the thing they worried about finally happened.

That afternoon, Ada rarely went out, but stayed in her room and wrote back to the twins, telling them about her life in Paris.

From the twins' letter, she learned that the Weasley family had won the Daily Prophet's grand prize of 700 gold galleons. Mr. Weasley waved his hand and took the whole family to travel to Egypt, and they could also visit his eldest son Bill who was working in Egypt, which was the best of both worlds.

The twins' letter also contained a newspaper clipping with a photo of the Weasley family, including a beige Galleon, which had become quite fat due to the twins' feeding.

During this period, Ada lived a very comfortable life in Paris, but the British wizarding world was in turmoil, and the Ministry of Magic and Fudge were in a state of panic.

Because the serious criminal Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban.

This Sirius Black was the last male of the "eternally pure" Black family, and like the rest of his family, he was a supporter of Voldemort. After Voldemort's fall, he even blew up a street with a spell.

After being arrested by the Ministry of Magic, Barty Crouch, then Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, imprisoned Black in Azkaban without trial. But now, this serious criminal, who was only 22 years old when he was imprisoned, has successfully escaped from prison. He is also the first prisoner to escape from Azkaban independently.

When Ada finally finished writing the reply, there was a knock on the door. Ada answered without turning her head: "Come in, Agnes!"

"I'm not Agnes, I'm Henri, do you remember me?" A male voice sounded in the room, and Henry Rosier pushed open the door and walked in.

Ada was still impressed by this cousin who was sometimes serious and sometimes not. She asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course it's because of you!" Henry said in a sad tone, "It's all because of what you did. I've been laughed at by those pure-blood bastards for several days."

This sentence sounded like something a young master from a pure-blood family would say, but Henry immediately added, "So, when you are choosing your future cousin-in-law at Hogwarts, can you be more serious? Choose the best of the best!"

Still the familiar taste, still so indecent, Henry loves freedom and wants to marry a Muggle-born wizard, Rosier.

Ada stood up and wanted to go to the reception room. Henry was laughed at. The Rosier family would definitely not let Henry or Thierry Rosier come alone. There must be other people accompanying them.

But Henry stopped her. Facing her questioning look, Henry said, "You'd better not go over there. They are all dirty words. These are not words that a minor like you should listen to. I came here to get some peace and quiet, why are you still going over there!"

"Then I should go over there. Do I want to let an old woman listen to these unpleasant words?" Ida asked, bypassing Henry's obstruction. She would not leave her grandmother alone there.

Henry thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He not only gave way, but also planned to go with Ada.

But before the two of them reached the door, a young man appeared at the door and said something quickly. Then the young man left the door faster than he spoke, as if the room was filled with a bad smell.

"Who was that just now? What did he say?" Ada asked. The young man who had just performed the teleportation trick at the door spoke French too fast, and Ada had some difficulty understanding it.

"Vincent Rosier, the next generation heir of the family." Henry explained, "Let's go, our great aunt wants us to come over."

Just now, Fan Shang looked like he didn't want to contact not only Ada, but also Henry.

Ada asked again: "Besides me, he doesn't seem to like you either."

"Good eyesight. When I was a kid, I was skinny and weak, and Fan Shang, that brat, always bullied me." Henry said, "Then the situation turned around, and he naturally didn't want to see me anymore."

"Didn't you say you would beat him up when you got back? Did you do that?"

Henry frowned and looked at Ada. He said dissatisfiedly: "How can you doubt my sincerity! I beat him up as soon as I came back. If you don't believe me, I will beat him up again later!"

While they were talking, the two of them came to the door of the reception room. The door was ajar, but the quarrel inside could be heard clearly.
