The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 510
These words startled Henry into a cold sweat.

Ada didn't sleep most of the night, and ran from the luxurious manor in Versailles to the small apartment in Paris, was it just to communicate with her brother and sister?
Don't be funny, even if Ada really thought so, Henry wouldn't believe it.

Moreover, Henry knew why Ada came, which was why he went out to get drunk tonight.

Henry didn't answer, a small drum was beating in his heart and kept beating.He stood up and walked to the small bar in the apartment, wanting to refill himself another glass of whiskey.

Ada didn't speak either, she just watched Henry walking past unsteadily, thinking about what she should do with Henry.

Henry drank a lot of wine tonight. When people are drunk, their hands and feet will inevitably be uncoordinated. He poured half of the wine with the bottle and sprinkled half.Henry gave up, he put the bottle back on the bar, and stopped pouring the wine stubbornly.

He lowered his head and said, "When did you know? Did you discover it yourself, or did your aunt tell you?"

Hearing Henry's words, Ada also remembered Vader's hesitation before he set off. It turned out that his grandmother had already found out about this matter, but she never said it.

"I discovered it myself," Ada said. "Alan Rozier mentioned unicorn blood in the catacombs."

Henry gave a low laugh, a little bit bitterly, and said: "Judging from the state of my aunt today, there is nothing wrong with her body, and the blood of the unicorn is naturally part of the trap. You did it to make people believe that she is terminally ill. set a trap."

"Of course she didn't drink the unicorn's blood. Although I'm a bit cruel, but..." Ada said, "It's better to die than to live with one last breath."

Henry raised his head, he looked at Ada, and asked, "What does this mean? Is she really sick?"

Vader was indeed sick, and his hatred was serious, so he almost made Alan and others get their wish.But Ada happened to have a life-saving gemstone in his hand, and with this gemstone, Vader was able to recover his health.

After discussing with Vader who had recovered, he came up with the current suspended animation plan.

During Vader's faux pas, everything Ada did was to make her look more serious, including the things she said, and the cup of unicorn blood that was spilled on purpose for Thierry to see.

"You've even counted my grandfather. With him by his side, Alan and the others won't have any more doubts." Henry said, "In this way, it will be easier to implement your plan."

Ada shook her head, and she said, "No, this is just for Thierry and you."

Hearing this, Henry fell silent again.It's not so much for their grandparents, but for him alone, because everyone knows that Thierry will never betray Vader.

Henry lifted the bottle and took two sips. The pungent taste brought him back to his senses.He asked: "Does that mean that only five people know about the cup of unicorn blood?"

"No, four," Ada said. "Grandmother doesn't know about it. She won't let me do it."

Only four people knew about it, and three of them would not disclose it to the outside world, but Alan Rozier knew it, and it was obvious where the problem was.Weaving such a big bag and putting everyone in it, the eyes of outsiders who stay in the manor can only see what Ada wants them to see.

"Henry, can you tell me why?" Ada asked, "I really don't see how it would do you any good."

"There is no benefit, I just want to live." Henry picked up the bottle and leaned his body against the wall, "I just want to live."

Ada was confused by what she said, and she really couldn't understand Henry's thoughts.Cooperating with Vader and himself, how can Henry not survive, revealing the secrets in Rose Manor is the real way to kill.

"It's hard to understand, isn't it?" Henry continued, "I'll speak slowly, and you listen slowly."

Henry took a sip, held the small bar with both hands, and said slowly: "It started when my aunt got your news. At that time, someone told Alan and his son your information, and that person was me."

"Why?" Ada asked suspiciously, "I can't think of a reason for you to do this, and it's not good for you."

Henry said: "There is really no benefit, and I didn't do it for benefit. The Rozier family is like a pool of stagnant water that smells bad. It only knows about blood-sucking bugs lying on the merits of their ancestors. They are greedy and stupid. Yours Returning, instead of injecting new vitality into this foul-smelling stagnant water, I threw a huge boulder into the center of the pool! What would happen?"

"The water in the pool is splashing everywhere, and it's no longer calm." Ada continued.

"That's right, your return will bring great confusion to Rozier, and the whole family will have to reshuffle." Henry continued, "Because your identity is too special, you belong to Vader Rozier. granddaughter!"

If Vader doesn't have that much energy, there is a high probability that Ada will be another Nymphadora Tonks, and the two sides will not interfere with each other.Ke Weida has the ability to reshuffle the family cards, and Ada is a half-blood wizard, and conflicts will inevitably break out between the two sides.

And the facts also proved what Henry thought. From the moment Ida returned to Rozier's house, the controversy surrounding her has not stopped, and a serious bloodshed happened today.

Ada remembered the famous sophistry question.Where the rails diverge, there are warning signs on one track because trains pass that way, but not on the abandoned track on the other side.

Now the train is coming, and there are many Roziers standing on the track that the train is about to pass, and there is only a lonely strange child on the abandoned track.You can flip the switch, stupid kinsman on one side, and strangers on the other, which do you choose?
Between strangers and family brethren, Henry Rozier chose family brethren, hopelessly stupid as they were.

Henry said: "In addition to this, there is another point, that is, I don't want to be Rozier's helm, not at all. I don't want to follow the path arranged by others. I have my own ideas and my own will to live."

"Such as marrying a Muggle-born witch?" Ada asked, "Isn't this also a lie to me?"

"That's not true." Henry said bitterly, "But if I was supported by my aunt to take the helm position, would I still be able to do this? Think about what happened to your father."

Even if Vader agreed with Henry to do this, the rest of the tribe would not agree.This turned into a choice between the tribe and the individual again, but this time the "individual" became Henry himself.

"What about this time," Ada asked, "just without the support of Vida Rozier, do you think I will be defeated?"

Henry was silent for a while, and then said: "Sitting here today, it proves that it was the right choice for me to disclose this information to Alan and his son. If you want to blame me, I picked the wrong opponent and partner. You are too smart. And Alan and his son are too useless."

"You thought I was going to kill you, so you acted first and encouraged Alan and his son to get rid of me first." Ada said, she roughly understood.

In Henry's view, Ada is the dangerous one.As long as Ada died in the catacomb, even if Alan and his son would target Henry next, he would have a way to deal with it.

Facing Alan and his son has a better chance of winning than facing Ada.

"Stupid choice, Henry." Ada said, "You do all this on the premise that I will kill you, and why are you so sure that I will kill you?"

"Do you still remember that you raised a dog named Gallon?" Henry said with a smile, "You thought it betrayed you, so you left it at the twins' house, right?"

Ada nodded silently, that was indeed the case.

"It's just a dog, and it didn't threaten your safety, so you abandoned it, what about me?" Henry said excitedly, "I leaked your information to Alan, let you be followed, and even trapped What will you do to me if I am in danger?"

"You are a human, and Garen is just a dog." Ada said, "I can still tell the difference between a human and a dog."

Henry laughed out loud, then he pointed to Ada and said, "Ask yourself, is it important to you whether it is a human being or a dog? Do you kill so few people! Your disregard for life scares me! "

Then Henry pointed out the window excitedly, and continued: "Aren't those who died in the cemetery today human? Aren't those who will be cleaned up tonight? You can say they deserve to die, because they want to harm you, and I don't want to Someone who wants to kill you!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and Henry went crazy and swept everything on the bar to the ground.There was the sound of cups and wine bottles breaking, and the carpet was soaked with wine.

Ada sighed slowly, and she said, "Before I came tonight, your aunt asked me to save your life."

Henry looked up at Ada, he couldn't believe it.In addition to worrying that Ida will kill him, Henry is also worried that Vader will attack him, especially Vader has beaten him more than once.

"Where is Daniel?" Henry asked, "Is he dead?"

Ada got up from the sofa and walked to the door of the apartment. As she walked, she said: "Until you mentioned Danielle, I didn't know he was involved in this. Grandma probably knew, but she didn't tell me anything."

Under Henry’s unbelievable gaze, Ada walked to the door, and she put her hand on the light switch.

"You're drunk, Henry, and a drunk should rest. Tomorrow is another day, and the roses will bloom again."

After speaking, the lights in the apartment were turned off, and the small space was once again plunged into darkness.After the sound of closing the door, Henry sat on the ground dejectedly, sobbing softly.
