The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 458 Henry Rozier

France, Versailles, Rose Garden.

The weather was a little hot, the yard was lush and leafy, groups of small animals were running around among the green plants, and colorful flowers were blooming in the garden.

The manor is no longer full of roses. The seeds planted by Ada last year have blossomed into colorful flowers this year.

In front of a large cluster of flowers, Vida was holding a small watering can in her hand. She was watering the flowers to make them look more beautiful.

Standing behind Vida was Henry Rozier, his robe ironed neatly without a wrinkle.

"I'm living well in Paris, why did you come here in such a hot day?" Vida said. While he was talking, he didn't stop working at all. Vida put down the small watering can, picked up a pair of scissors, and started to trim the branches.

"I heard that you came back from England, so I came to see you. I missed you," Henry said. Henry said this very skillfully. Before Ada appeared, he was the only one among Rosier's grandchildren who would visit Vida from time to time.

"With such a sweet mouth, I wonder how many little girls he has fooled!" Vida joked, "Daniel told you again, right? This old man is talking faster and faster."

Henry did not respond immediately. He paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, I met Daniel at the Ministry of Magic. He told me that you were back."

"I knew it was this old guy." Vida said, "Henry, what do you think of this garden? Is it different from the original one?"

Rose Manor has a long history and has always been inhabited by the head of the Rosier family. However, Vida's branch has served as the head of the family too many times, which has gradually turned this luxurious manor into a private residence.

The manor is planted with roses that bloom all year round, which is also the origin of the manor's name. The undefeated rose symbolizes that the Rozier family will never wither.

Now the Rose Manor has been messed up by Ada, with a lot of animals running around, and the tribesmen scolded it as burning the piano and cooking the crane, and cows chewing on peonies; all kinds of flowers were said to be ignorant of rules and disrespectful to the family.

Looking at the sea of ​​flowers in front of him, Henry thought for a while and said, "It's great. The flowers are blooming in all colors, and everything is flourishing."

"That's right." Vida praised, and then said, "Have you seen anything from these newly planted flowers?"

Henry didn't know what Vida was trying to say, so he chose the most conservative statement.

He answered, "I really don't see it. Aren't these flowers, and these puppies and fawns, all made by Ida to please you?"

"It's true that it's to please me, so that I don't stay in the house all the time and walk around more." Vida looked into Henry's eyes and said, "But, Ada, there is another meaning behind it."

Henry had a look of astonishment on his face, and he asked, "Is there another meaning?"

"Of course, Ada is a very caring child," Vida said, "and a very kind child."

Vida pointed to the roses that were already there and continued, "These roses that were originally planted here represent Rosier's people, and the newly planted flowers represent herself. She is saying that even if she is not a rose in the eyes of her people, she can still grow together with everyone, just like this garden in front of us."

"She will not interfere with the growth of other roses, and she also hopes that other roses will not disturb her and live in peace."

"But this is originally a rose manor. The appearance of those flowers has invaded the roses' territory." Henry said meaningfully, "How can the roses just let it go?"

Vida glanced at Henry in surprise, as if wondering why he would ask such a stupid question.

Vida said: "Flowers sometimes grow useless branches, and flower growers need to trim these extra branches so that the flowers can grow better. The same is true for humans, who need to be pruned from time to time."

Henry was a little absent-minded watching Vida trimming the overgrown branches. He asked, "What if this flower cannot be trimmed? What if this person cannot be persuaded?" "Then it's even simpler. Just pull it out. This will free up more soil and nutrients for those flowers that can be trimmed." As he spoke, Vida pulled up a rose from the bush by its roots.

The moment it left the soil, the rose that had just been so beautiful began to wither quickly, its tender green leaves turned yellow and fell off, and its blooming flowers withered and died.

Henry was a little frightened by this scene. He was not a fool, but he was still frightened by Vida's ruthless destruction of the rose. He pulled the rose out of the soil without hesitation, even though the rose was carefully cared for by Vida.

The rose can be Alan, Vincent, or anyone else. The freed soil and nutrients are left to those who are obedient.

"I understand, great aunt." Henry said respectfully. At this moment he realized the decisiveness of the older generation and understood why his grandfather was so afraid of Vida.

Vida put down the scissors in her hand, and threw the withered rose to the ground. The rose was trampled into the soil by the small animals chasing each other and turned into nutrients for other flowers.

"Henry, you are still young and inexperienced. There are some things you cannot see clearly yet. But it doesn't matter. Life is still a long way to go. You can learn slowly." Vida said as they walked, "When you have learned 70% to 80% of Thierry, you will be a qualified head of the family."

Speaking earnestly, Rozier's tribesman Riveda only has high hopes for Henry.

This is not nepotism, not because he is Thierry's grandson and has Thierry by his side to teach and advise him, but because he is indeed a talented person with great potential.

As for Hector, he was just a little brat with a head full of love affairs, and he was not capable of any major responsibility. Hector's parents were blind asses, fools who could not tell good from bad.

After walking for a while, the two came to the fountain. Vida leaned against the fountain to rest, and Henry stood beside her a little stiffly.

"Ada likes your cousin very much. She will support you like I do." Vida said, "When the time comes, you will be in charge of family affairs, while Ada will be in charge of external affairs and do what she wants. With the two of you helping each other, Rosier will only get better and better."

Henry did not feel the slightest bit of joy at Vida's words. He asked solemnly, "Grandma, is the mysterious man really back?"

"Did old Daniel tell you this?" Vida said, "Yes, Voldemort is back, and Ida saw it with her own eyes. There is no need for Ida to lie about this, and neither did Dumbledore."

The first Dark Lord and the second Dark Lord were just the opposite. Grindelwald's power never set foot in the British wizarding world, even at his peak; Voldemort's rule never left the British wizarding world, even at his peak.

But there is one thing in common: the person who stopped the two Dark Lords was Dumbledore. There is only one Dumbledore in this world.

In Europe, although Voldemort's reputation was not as great as Grindelwald's, people were still afraid of him. After all, once Dumbledore could no longer hold on, Voldemort could cross the sea at any time and spread his terror to Europe.

"What can I do to help you and Ada?" Henry continued.

"Hmm... let me think about it." Vida thought for a while before saying, "Help me keep an eye on those dishonest people in the tribe. I don't want anyone to stab Ida in the back. I don't want to see such a thing happen again."

After agreeing to this, Henry walked out of the garden and left Rose Manor.

Looking at Henry's receding back, Vida was a little stunned. She murmured, "It's so similar!"

"Like what?" Laura suddenly appeared next to the fountain, holding a corgi in her arms, a corgi with a very big butt and very short legs.

Laura's sudden appearance did not scare Vida. Not only that, she also snatched the short leg away.

While petting the dog, Vida said, "His back looks a lot like Thierry when he was young, and his panicked look is similar, as if they were carved from the same mold."
