The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 509 The Leaker
Alan, who was insatiable and murderous for money, died, and Vida came back to life, but Rose Manor still did not return to peace.

Not long after Vida brought Ada back to the manor, the Rosier people followed them all the way from the cemetery. They wanted to know how Vida would deal with them and wanted to ask for her forgiveness.

Vida did not meet them. She had long been disappointed with the Rosier clan. Previously, the reason why Vida had not taken action and had not taken drastic measures to cleanse them was because she still cared about her family ties.

However, the actions of his tribesmen once again broke Vida's heart, and even the last bit of family affection was squandered by these people.

Since Vida avoided seeing people, they shamelessly asked to see Ada, hoping that Miss Ada would spare their lives.

At this moment, the nobility of the pure-blood family disappeared. Some people even called Ada "Miss Rosier", completely forgetting the "purity" they had mentioned before and forgetting that they called her "bastard".

Isn't that ridiculous? It turns out that in the face of death, the noble, pure-blooded family is so weak.

Vida chose to avoid them, and they were even more at a loss as to what to do with Ada. Ada couldn't even call out their names, so how could she come out to see them and spare their lives?
The two responsible persons were not there, so Rozier and the others could only turn to Laura. They were all accompanied by Laura Fournier when they went down to the crypt, which was definitely a treatment only confidants could have.

Laura was so annoyed that she couldn't even drink a sip of wine. Laura had to run away, but before she ran away, she gave Hector Rozier a bottle of good wine from his cellar, which she herself was reluctant to drink.

This was Ada's order, and of course Laura did it.

They said they wanted to wish Hector a happy birthday, but Hector's birthday had already passed. Everyone in the manor understood the intention behind this, which was a "reward" for Hector's keeping of Ada's wand and for choosing the right side.

As night fell, only a small number of Rosier left the manor, and most of them stayed here. Although the house-elf Agnes did not provide them with any food, making them hungry, they refused to leave.

They didn't dare leave before seeing Vida and asking for his forgiveness.

Previously, they thought that Vida would not do anything to them, after all, they were of the same clan, and the law did not punish the masses. But today, the ruthlessness of Vida and Ada really frightened these people.

This group of people didn't dare to leave, let alone go upstairs to disturb Vida, so they just stayed downstairs, which was very troublesome.

On the second floor, Ada changed out of the clothes she wore during the day and burned them together with the clothes Vida had been wearing recently. It wasn't because of superstition, but she always felt that keeping such clothes was unlucky.

Just burn it down and be done with it, out of sight, out of mind.

The annoying clothes can be burned, but the annoying people downstairs cannot be burned. Ada doesn't have the appetite to destroy the Rozier family in one go.

It would be satisfying to get rid of them all, but the troubles that follow are equally annoying.

Ada just sat upstairs, waiting for the group of people to disperse. But this group of people didn't know what was going on and refused to leave, which made Ada feel a little helpless. She had to think of a way to avoid them and sneak out. She wanted to meet someone and do something.

Just when Ada was about to run away, she met Vida who was taking a walk upstairs.

"Grandma, aren't you resting yet?"

"Because of your idea, I have been sleeping a lot recently. I really can't sleep at all now." Vida said, without any blame in his tone. Although this idea was proposed by Ada, it was only implemented after Vida nodded.

Ida smiled sheepishly, and Vida continued, "Come back early and don't stay out too late. And if... forget it, it's up to you. It depends on how you want to deal with it."

……

The night in Paris is dazzling, with bright lights, extravagance and a charming atmosphere everywhere. Henry Rozier, drunk, walks on the street, indifferent to the temptations around him.

Today in the cemetery during the day, Henry was still not optimistic about Ada. He thought it was foolish for Ada to be led by the nose, and agreeing to enter the crypt was just walking into a trap.

Rather than being caught in a trap, it is better to kill them all in the cemetery. As long as one person dies, most of the Rozier will calm down.

Henry knew these people's temperaments too well. It was not until Ada handed over her wand and took the initiative to follow him into the catacombs, and watched her figure disappear in the stone steps, that Henry came to his senses. Henry realized that Ada dared to do this, she must have something to rely on, and she was not seeking death.

Sure enough, Ada came out alive, and the resurrected Vida was her support. They planned everything, opened their pockets, and waited for the greedy people to get in!
Whenever he thought of this, Henry felt a chill down his spine and all over his body.

After leaving the cemetery, Thierry and Henry did not go to the manor to "apologize", but went straight home. Thierry returned to his courtyard, and Henry returned to his apartment in Paris.

Henry was very tired and annoyed. He wanted to have a good sleep, but when he closed his eyes, all he could see was Ada's shadow, which made him unable to sleep. So Henry ran out of the house to get drunk and didn't come back until now.

After walking on the street for a while, the drunk Henry finally stopped in front of an apartment building.

This was a Muggle apartment, and Henry did not lie to Ada about his love for Muggles and his willingness to learn about their lives.

Henry walked into the apartment building and went up to his floor. He held the door frame and fumbled for the key in his trouser pocket. After finally finding the key, he couldn't find the keyhole due to his drunken eyes.

After several insertions, Henry finally got it in, and a smile finally appeared on his face. He turned the key and opened the door, and the small one-bedroom apartment was dark.

As Henry took off his outer robe, he reached out and groped on the wall beside the door. With a "click", the light came on.

The sudden light was a bit dazzling, Henry rubbed his eyes and walked to his small wine cabinet, probably wanting to drink more. He took out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, and then took out an ice bucket and a glass, and was about to add ice to the glass.

Henry looked up suddenly, thinking he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes hard, and he confirmed that he had not seen it wrong. His cousin Ada was sitting on the sofa in the living room, her white shirt reflecting the soft light.

"Would you like...a drink?"

"it is good."

Henry added another cup, took two glasses of wine and walked to the living room, handing one to Ada.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Henry asked. Perhaps the alcohol made his brain a little dull, so he just asked Ada why she came, but forgot that he had never mentioned this apartment to Ada.

Ada took a sip, the cool liquid stimulated her taste buds. She said, "I came to see you and communicate with you. After all, we are cousins."

"Ah, yes... yes, we are brother and sister." Henry said. His speech was a little slow, as if he was thinking while speaking.

Henry continued, "Well...it was an ingenious plan that fooled everyone, even my grandfather...the people in the cemetery were also kept in the dark...very good!"

"Didn't you expect it? Not at all." Ada stared at the wine glass in her hand and shook it slowly. The ice cubes hit the wall of the glass, making a crisp sound.

"Uh... I figured it out. It was only when you followed them down that I figured it out a little bit." Henry said with a smile. Maybe he was drunk or something, but his smile seemed a little exaggerated.

Ada was still shaking the glass, the sound of the ice cubes was still crisp and pleasant. She said meaningfully: "It's a blessing that Alan and Fan Shang are not as smart as you, otherwise I would have died down there."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be your enemy?" Henry said, raising his glass and taking a big sip to hide the slightly trembling corners of his eyes.

Putting down the glass, Henry continued, "How could we be enemies? You are drunk just because of a little whiskey... By the way, what are you going to do with those tribesmen? The Rozier family now respects you."

Ada leaned back on the sofa, looked at Henry and said, "I can drink a lot, so this little whiskey is nothing. It's up to you to deal with those tribesmen who intend to cause trouble. You seem to have forgotten that your great-aunt originally planned to help you take the position."

"Also, you know better than me why I'm here so late at night."
