The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 277: In front of people and behind their backs (Additional chapter 3 for the leader's discussion on the sword)

Although both came from an orphanage, were half-blood wizards, and were extremely talented, Ada and Tom Riddle were fundamentally different.

Ida is also very good at using black magic, but she never ignores life and takes pleasure in taking the lives of others. The most important thing is that Tom never knows what love is, but Ida knows the value of family and friendship.

It is precisely because of this difference that Ada was able to gain the friendship of Fred and George, receive the care of Professor McGonagall, and make Dumbledore turn a blind eye to some of her extraordinary behavior.

They knew that Ada would not become the next Tom Riddle.

Vida sat back on the soft sofa. She rubbed her temple and said, "Since you stole Ada's identity from me, you must have done a lot of research, right? Don't say you didn't do anything. Don't treat other people as fools."

"I checked, she doesn't have good relationships with many pure-blood families." Alan replied, and then he looked at Ada with disgust.

"Since you've checked, have you ever thought about why a little girl who is alone and powerless can still be safe and sound after offending so many powerful people?" Vida asked, "Do you have a pig brain?"

Henry, who was standing nearby, answered quickly, "Dumbledore. We have a good relationship with the Avery family. I heard from them that Dumbledore warned them not to meddle in other people's affairs."

The Avery family genealogy has been broken, and some say that the family originated from Normandy and followed William the Conqueror to England. Others say that the surname originated from Navarre.

But whichever of these two statements is true, the Avery family is closely related to the pure-blood families of France.

"I shouldn't have said this in front of Ada, but you guys are really disappointing." Vida said helplessly, "Although I really don't like that old man, you keep pushing away the girl he likes. You deserve to be scolded!"

Ada didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence, nor did she think her grandmother wanted to use her. It's not poisonous to speak out, only those who keep things hidden are the ones who really have ulterior motives. Vida said it very frankly, and there's nothing wrong with wanting your son to be successful.

Is Vida really thinking about Rozier? Of course not. These persuasions are just to make these people accept Ada better. Killing is only the last resort.

Dumbledore took notice of Ada right after she entered school. Although the reason he took notice of her at that time was because Ada might be an Obscurus, other people didn't know that. They only saw that Dumbledore valued her.

Many families would be eager to get a person with such a bright future. Didn't you see so many people going to Hogwarts to claim their relatives this year? Only a fool would not want a person who could elevate the family's status by himself. Bloodline? Do you think anyone dares to ask about Voldemort's bloodline? Do you think anyone dares to talk about Dumbledore's parents?
"One day, when Ada rises to prominence, Alan, you should be thankful. Be thankful that Ada still has at least half of Rosier's blood." Vida continued to persuade, "This blood will make Rosier proud, and will bring tangible benefits to the family."

Now that Ada has slapped someone, as her grandmother, Vida will naturally be responsible for finishing the job and giving the other person a sweet date.

There is no actual loss and there is a possibility of making the other party accept Aida, so why not do it?

An old man and a young boy, it was their first cooperation, and they had a tacit understanding. If possible, Vida still hoped that the Rosier family could continue to exist, at least while she was alive.

Thierry said angrily, "Alan, if you can't even see through this, you are such a disappointment as the head of the family!"

Ada turned to look at Thierry. She had received so many surprises today. First, she knew there was a story between her grandmother and the stubborn old man in Nurmengard, and then she discovered the French drumming artist Thierry. Was there any secret hidden in this family that she didn't know about?
"Tsk! That sounds nice, but when has this world ever lacked geniuses? How many of them survived to the end!" Alan said. He was not interested in this sweet treat, which was invisible and intangible, just a pie in the sky painted by Vida.

Ada was also good at playing the supporting role. She was not only good at playing the supporting role, but also good at backing off. How could she let the old man who was out of tune take the lead? Ada said, "Grandma, are people from other families like this too? If so, it's really not easy for a pure-blood family to be passed down for so long!"

This was very impolite, and the contempt was directly reflected in Alan's face. In order to express her meaning clearly, Ada spoke the whole sentence very slowly, making sure that every word was pronounced correctly.

This murderous remark did not receive any criticism from Vida. The old woman just poked Ada's forehead with her finger. She said, "You are such a talkative person. When you learn French well, you will annoy me to death!"

"I've said everything I should and shouldn't say. I'm tired, go back and think about it." Vida continued, "Remember, you are the head of the Rozier family, so how can you achieve anything with such petty things!" This sentence finally touched Alan's heart. He didn't care about the rumors outside at all. What he was most worried about was that he would lose his position. Only when the position of the head of the family was passed down to his branch, he could feel at ease.

Power is the poison of this world. Even Dumbledore dare not touch it easily, but Alan Rosier holds on to it without knowing his own limitations.

Alan helped his son up. Fan Shang still hadn't recovered yet. He was angry and distressed. Just a Cruciatus Curse made the heir of the family unconscious. He didn't know whether to say that Ada was cruel or Fan Shang was useless.

After the father and son left, Thierry also stood up and said goodbye to Vida. Today's matter had been resolved, but Thierry still had a mission to complete, and he needed to convey Vida's meaning to other tribesmen.

Henry followed his grandfather and winked at Ada before leaving.

"Is there any unspeakable little secret between you and Henry?" Vida asked curiously.

"He wants to find a Muggle-born wizard to be his wife, and asked me to help find a suitable candidate in Hogwarts." Ada puffed her cheeks and said helplessly.

"How could he have come up with such an idea!" Vida scolded with a smile, "Isn't Beauxbatons enough for him to choose from?" Henry has good looks, a good figure, and a good family background. Such a man is indeed very attractive to the opposite sex, and he also has the capital to raise fish.

After a while, Vida suddenly asked, "What do you think about letting Henry be the next head of the family?"

This is not only a less radical solution that Vida thought of, but also a test for Ada. Ada can choose to keep to herself and not fight for power, but she must understand the twists and turns involved.

"Emmmm... I don't know much about Henry." Ada rubbed her earlobe, "But from what I have seen so far, this seemingly unreliable cousin is a good choice."

While the grandparents in the house were arranging Henry's fate, the grandparents outside the house were also busy. A similar test was going on simultaneously.

"What do you think of your cousin Esmeralda?" Thierry asked.

"Either try your best to make friends with her, or kill her with one blow. Don't give her any chance to breathe." Henry gave the answer without thinking, and his face no longer had the unruly look he had just had in the house.

If you beat the snake, you will not die, but you will be harmed by it.

"Then how should we choose?" Thierry continued to ask.

After thinking for a while, Henry finally gave his opinion. He said, "I don't know Esmeralda well enough, but from these two encounters and her attitude towards my great-aunt, she is someone we should bet on."

"Well, not that stupid." Thierry nodded with satisfaction. "Get ready. You will probably be the next head of the family."

"Who will be the next head of the family?" Henry asked in surprise. "Didn't my great aunt say that Uncle Alan is the head of the family?"

Thierry slapped Henry on the back of the head and cursed: "Pig brain! Are you a pig?"

"Don't call your offspring pigs!" Henry covered the back of his head and quickly jumped away. "From the perspective of Muggle genetics, it's not good for you."
