The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 275 Grindelwald's Romantic Debt

She lived in an orphanage when she was just a few months old. The orphanage had no decent funding, so Ada did not receive a good education as a child and naturally had no exposure to French.

Ada's current French level is the result of her learning in the past half month. Usually, Vida or the elf Agnes would communicate with Ada in English, and occasionally when speaking French, they would speak very slowly so that Ada would have enough time to react.

But the strange voice in the room obviously didn't care about Ada. He spoke French very fast, as if his mouth was rented and he was in a hurry.

Ada could only judge based on the other person's voice and mood swings, and naturally she didn't say a single good word. She asked quietly, "Who is speaking?"

"Alain Rozier, the father of that kid Vincent." Henry rolled his eyes in an extremely exaggerated manner, "The head of the family. Sigh... it would be great if Uncle Louis was the head of the family, then the family would definitely be full of freedom."

"You can go to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. It must be full of the atmosphere of freedom that you like." Ada said jokingly.

"No, that place is awful." Henry protested with all his might. "I'd rather rot in Paris! Rot in the ossuary!"

Pushing the door open, Ada and Henry walked in.

Thierry sat on a sofa, his head down, not talking or moving, as if he had fallen asleep. Alan stood in the middle of the living room, yelling, his big beard twitching as he opened and closed his mouth, and Vincent stood behind him.

Vida sat on the sofa without saying a word, her eyes full of mockery. When she saw Ada, her eyes lit up instantly, and she waved to Ada, asking her granddaughter to come over and sit down.

But this action caused dissatisfaction among some people. Henry, a giant man who was nearly two meters tall, actually acted like a spoiled child. He said, "Grandma, you have changed. You used to like me the most!"

"How old are you? How old is she?" Vida said softly. She pulled Ada to sit next to her, with indescribable joy in her eyes.

In the room, Alan was still roaring. He didn't even look at Ada and ignored the girl's appearance. Thierry "woke up" and nodded in response to Ada's greeting.

"I and other members of the clan hope that you can be more restrained!" Alan said loudly, "Your actions have already touched upon the vital interests of the clan!"

"Personal interests?" Vida said, "Is it because I made you lose face?"

Vida's voice was not loud, but his aura suppressed Alan. The loudness of the voice is not the reason for being right, otherwise why would we need a court or arbitration? Wouldn't it be better to just compete to see who has the loudest voice?

Alan took a deep breath and said again, "We should expel people who have connections with Muggles from the family like other pure-blood families, and Louis Rosier should do the same! His name does not deserve to appear in the family tree!"

"You try it?" Vida said this indifferently, with a sense of authority without even getting angry!
Alan was choked for a moment. He took a moment to calm down before continuing, "In a word, the Rosier family will never allow a dirty half-blood to appear in the family!"

"Ada, do you want to change your last name to Rosier?" Vida did not act on his own, but asked Ada for her opinion.

Due to the language barrier, Ida only understood part of what Vida said, but Vida spoke slowly, so she still understood it. She asked, "Grandma, can I not change it?"

What is a surname? It can't change a person's nature. Is Rosier noble? If he changed his surname to Merlin or Gryffindor, Ada might consider it. Rosier? What is that?
"Of course." Vida nodded and continued, "My granddaughter can have whatever surname she wants. If she wants her surname to be Drizzt, she is Drizzt; if she wants her surname to be Rosier, she is Rosier. No one can stop her."

Alan wanted to say something, but Vida didn't give him the chance. Vida continued, "Even if Ada wants to be called Grindelwald, then she is Esmeralda Grindelwald!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room became instantly quiet, and you could hear a pin drop, with only the heavy breathing of Alan and Fan Shang.

Ada looked at her grandmother in surprise. She knew that the Rosier family was involved with Voldemort and Grindelwald, but she didn't expect her grandmother to say this name so casually. Thinking of her grandmother who had always been single and even her father was adopted, Ada thought of a possibility. I can't believe it, I can't believe that Grindelwald, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually has a romantic debt!
Many pure-blood families have even been passed down for thousands of years, and their power should never be underestimated. In various books about Grindelwald, many people's names have been deliberately hidden, leaving only a surname.

So Ada didn't know that her grandmother was the person Grindelwald trusted the most back then. She also didn't know that it was her grandmother who held the skull in the Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Vida's attitude was very tough, just like when she let Louis' name remain in the family tree. If Rosier was blind, Vida didn't mind stretching her muscles with her old friends.

Although they are old and their reactions are much slower, this does not prevent them from burning one last time before they die.

If the hard approach doesn't work, try the soft approach. Seeing that threats didn't work, Alan chose to beg.

He said, "Aunt, you were also the head of the family back then. You know better than anyone how difficult it is to lead a family. It was you who brought Rosier to glory. Do you have the heart to watch your descendants being laughed at and insulted?"

Alan hoped that Vida would make a choice between his granddaughter and his tribe. After all, Louis was only adopted, and the blood relationship between Ada and Vida was similar to that of other tribe members.

Whether it is for one person or for a group of people, Alan hopes Vida can be more rational.

The palms and backs of the hands are made of flesh, and most people might have to struggle for a while, but Vida immediately gave her answer. She said, "My tribe? When you tried to kill Ada behind my back, did you ever think that she also has Rosier's blood flowing in her body?"

"Her blood has long been polluted by her filthy Muggle mother!" Vincent couldn't stand his father's humble appearance. He continued, "Lowly, inferior blood, bastard!"

"Shut up, Fan Shang!" The tall and strong Henry stood up, "You have no right to speak here!"

The murderous aura brought by his height and physique made Fan Shang retreat a little, and his momentum was weakened a lot, but he was still unforgiving and continued to curse: "Fils de pute!"

As soon as he cursed, Fan Shang flew backwards and hit the wall behind him with a "bang", knocking the ornaments on the wall to the ground. This hit Fan Shang hard and he curled up on the carpet like a cooked shrimp.

The one who took action was naturally Ada, who kept swearing and using foul language. Did he really think that she couldn't understand, or did he think she had a good temper?

Besides, "fils de pute" was the first beautiful French phrase Ida learned, and it means almost the same as "son of bxtch" in English.

The dirty words she had learned for more than a decade were surging in her chest, but she couldn't vent them because of the language barrier, so Ada could only choose to be a lady and not talk. What's more, compared to talking, Ada prefers to take action, which is direct and effective.

Ada's movements were too fast. She just waved her hand and sent Fan Shang flying. Not to mention Alan Rozier, even Fan Shang who was sent flying did not react.

While everyone was stunned, Ada had already taken out her magic wand and pointed it at Fan Shang who was lying on the carpet. Fan Shang suddenly let out a heart-wrenching wail, he turned over and curled up, and his body twitched violently, shaking from side to side.

At this time everyone reacted. Thierry and Henry, grandfather and grandson, looked at Ada in surprise. They didn't expect Ada to be so ruthless and decisive. Is she really only 16 years old?

A smile broke out on Vida's face. I love this kind of Ada!

But there was a flash of heartache in Vida's eyes. At the age of 16, he was so proficient in this torturous spell. This child must have suffered a lot!
Alan Rozier immediately pulled out his wand to fight back, but he only pulled out half of it and was knocked away like Fan Shang. With the same wave of his hand, Alan crashed directly into the wall near the window.

Ada turned her wand and pointed it at Alan Rosier, a smile as bright as the sun appearing on her face.
