The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 511 A new beginning

After a long dark night, when the first rays of light appeared at dawn, Rose Manor returned to its former tranquility. The Rosier people who had stayed in the manor finally dispersed, no longer worried.

For the Roziers who are still alive, last night has passed and today is a new beginning.

Henry Rozier did not become the new helmsman at the family meeting. He did not want to take this position and was no longer suitable for it. The position of the family helmsman was vacant, and everyone jointly nominated Vida to exercise this power.

Every Rosier knew that Vida's power was only temporary, just a transition, waiting for Rosier to accept Ada's mixed-race identity, and then she would take over.

Of course there is another prerequisite, that is, Ada is willing to play with this group of people.

In less than twenty-four hours, Vida "resurrected from the dead" and many Rosier died, but such a major event did not cause an uproar in the French magic world.

Some people have no idea what happened on that day, while some people know but don’t care. They just wonder why both sides didn’t suffer losses or perish together.

The French Ministry of Magic also knew about this, and they went to find Vida. After all, so many lives had been lost, so they had to intervene.

When asked by the Ministry of Magic, Vida said that he had died suddenly. The officials who came to inquire knew what had happened. It was nothing more than a political struggle within the family, and those who died were the losers of the struggle.

The Ministry of Magic didn't want to get involved in this kind of mess at all. They just felt that too few people died yesterday. It would be better if the entire Rosier family was wiped out!

The cold winter passed, the rainy spring came, and in the blink of an eye, the gloomy March entered the windy and rainy April. During this time, Ada stayed in the manor, admiring the flowers and watching the rain.

If it was sunny, Ada would sit on the swing under the shade of the tree for a long time. Although she had dropped out of Hogwarts and left the British Isles, Ada would still pay attention to the news there and communicate with Fred and George.

Since Ada left Grimmauld Place, Harry began to learn brain blocking from Snape, although both the learner and the teacher were very reluctant. After Hogwarts started, Umbridge's behavior became worse.

Umbridge not only put Hagrid on probation, she also wanted to expel Sybill Trelawney from the school. Seeing Umbridge's behavior, Ada exclaimed, "Wow, Umbridge is definitely a great assistant for the strongest king level."

Voldemort has always wanted to get the prophecy ball about him and Harry, and this prophecy was made by Trelawney. If the professor of divination is expelled from the school, it is not much different from delivering it to the door.

Although Trelawney has no memory of the prophecy, this memory may be hidden deep in her mind. It takes a lot of effort to find it. Voldemort really needs to thank Umbridge.

But Hogwarts was not a place where Umbridge could call the shots, so Dumbledore kept Trelawney. Expelling people from the castle was a power that only the headmaster had.

But soon Umbridge also had this power, she drove Dumbledore out of the school and became the new headmaster of Hogwarts. However, Umbridge was not a legitimate headmaster, and she could not even enter the headmaster's office.

The cause of the incident was that Umbridge discovered Harry's study group, and the abbreviation of the group's name was DA, which immediately reminded Fudge of Dumbledore's Army, which was Fudge's greatest fear.

So Fudge arrested Dumbledore for treason, but Dumbledore ran away in front of Fudge, Umbridge and others. Fudge didn't even touch a hair of Dumbledore's beard.

All along, Dumbledore underestimated Umbridge's ambition and did not take this vicious old witch seriously, which led to his own failure and being expelled from the school in disgrace.

If Dumbledore had cut the Gordian knot, none of this would have happened. Even after the conversation with Ada in her office, or the conversation at St. Mungo's, if Dumbledore had been able to harden his heart again, nothing like this would have happened.

Seeing the result now, Ada did not feel sad for the unfair treatment suffered by Dumbledore, but applauded. She hoped that this lesson would make the old man Dumbledore toughen up and see the current situation clearly. But Ada was only happy for a short while, and she began to worry about the situation of the twins in school. Ada dropped out of school and no longer had to worry about how disgusting the old witch was, but what if the vicious old witch took her anger out on Fred and George?
Especially now that Umbridge has full control over Hogwarts, will she use the methods of torturing non-human creatures on her students?

However, after receiving the next letter from the twins, Ada dispelled such concerns, because Fred and George also dropped out of school. The two brothers set off their special fireworks in the school, making Umbridge very anxious, and then the two brothers rode their flying brooms to freedom.

That scene must have been extremely exciting and would have become a Hogwarts classic, but it was a pity that Ada could not see it.

After Easter, the weather in Versailles gets better day by day, and the mild maritime climate makes the weather here pleasant most of the time.

That day, Ada sat on the swing again, staring blankly at the small animals running around in the yard. Time always flies quickly, and the fawns and lambs have now grown up, and some have even given birth to new lives.

Vida also walked into the garden and sat on the swing. Vida looked very good, with a rosy and shiny complexion. The gem not only cured her sudden illness, but also repaired her chronic illness.

"Sitting here in a daze again, this has become your normal state recently." Vida said, "Has your fishing net not been repaired yet?"

When fishermen are unable to catch fish, they will repair their nets and wait for the next time to set the net. In those days when things seem to be stagnant, you can rest, but don't do nothing.

This is the excuse that Ida gave herself for being lazy. At first glance, it sounds like that, but Ida didn't mend her web at all. She was just being lazy. After dealing with Rozier's internal affairs, she let the sheep run wild again.

"I've heard about what happened over there. If you still want to get involved, now's a good time," Vida continued.

This is a relatively difficult period for Dumbledore. With him being charged with "treason", the activities of the Order of the Phoenix have also gone underground. There are many people who add icing on the cake, but there are few people who provide timely help.

"I won't participate. It doesn't bother me. Let the old man have fun by himself!" Ada said hypocritically, "Let's wait until the noseless bastard can cross the channel!"

"How old are you this year?"

Ada counted on her fingers and said, "Eighteen years old. In October, I will be nineteen."

"How fast!" Vader exclaimed, "Dumbledore is at least a hundred years old. He is no longer young, but time has taught him wisdom. He is a person worthy of your respect and learning."

"But I don't think I'm wrong," Ada said. "I think Dumbledore's weak behavior will lead to a bigger mistake and cause immeasurable losses."

"Then go prove it to him, tell Dumbledore that he is wrong and you are right." Vida said, "Care about what you care about and stick to what you stick to."

Ada looked up at the sky and said absentmindedly, "There are still many things I can't figure out, about the future, about life, so many things..."

"If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for now, or ask someone who is in a higher position." Vida continued, "I can't help you much at this point. All I can do is to help you get rid of your worries."

Ada didn't say anything, still looking at the clear blue sky.

"If you don't want to ask Dumbledore, then go to Nurmengard." Vida said, looking in the direction of Nurmengard, "There, you may find your answer."
