The Emerald at Hogwarts

As Vader's words fell, everyone in the spacious room had different expressions. Some expressed their loyalty immediately and insisted on staying, while others thought carefully and had not yet made a decision.

Vader didn't say anything, and Ada didn't either.

Ada, who was sitting on the chair, leaned back and slumped on the chair in an imageless manner.As if the person these people were about to be loyal to was not themselves, they looked on with cold eyes and even found it a bit funny.

Including Sergey, Daniel, and Laura, there is a high probability that one or more of these ten people, it was he (them) who disclosed their information to Alan Rozier.

From that moment on, his (their) loyalty was gone.

Loyalty and trust are very luxurious things, and if they are not done properly, people will die.Those who profess their loyalty may not necessarily be trustworthy, and those who have yet to express their loyalty may not necessarily be untrustworthy.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly and no one left the room. People like them had nowhere to go.No one is born to be a rebel, betrayal is just for profit, just because others give too much.

This is just like job-hopping. A person with a monthly salary of [-] yuan will not change jobs to a place that can only offer him a monthly salary of [-] yuan.The same job content, the same hard work, but the monthly salary is halved. What is the reason for changing jobs? Is it for a dream?

Every dwarf mule knows the three key elements for success in doing big things: the first is money, the second is money, and the third is still money!

Dreams need to be based on reality, either with ability or strength.Without the support of a realistic foundation, a dream is just a dream, and sometimes it makes people laugh.

The people in the room were either dark wizards or people who had experienced major changes in their lives. They were no longer the age where they could just talk about dreams.Compared with unattainable dreams, they care more about reality, cruel and sad reality.

"I'm glad to see you all chose to stay, I'm really relieved." Vader said again.

Then Vida snapped his fingers, and twelve crystal-clear goblets instantly appeared on the long table, filled with fragrant Chardonnay.Seeing Wei Da stand up and raise his goblet, everyone in the room also picked up their wine glasses and stood up together.

"To our glory, to our Esmeralda, cheers!"

"Cheers!" Everyone responded in unison.

Ada also raised her glass, but her movements were much slower than the others.Raising the goblet to her eyes, the Chardonnay carried the aroma of fruit. Through the amber liquid, Ada felt that the figures of everyone in the room became a little distorted.

People can be seen in the cup, and oneself can be seen in the cup. After drinking this glass of Chardonnay, can these people really accompany me to the end?

There was no oath of allegiance, no one kissed Ada's right hand, and no one crawled at Ada's feet, kissed the hem of her robe, or wiped her shoes.The meeting started and ended hastily, but many things changed with a glass of Chardonnay.

Fortunately, there are no such cumbersome rituals and no glory. Fortunately, this is Versailles, not Lordaeron.Nor did Vidal say "My child, from the day you were born, all Versailles whispered this name: Esmeralda."

That scene was simply chilling. The first filial son in Versailles was terrifying to think about.

As night falls, the red brick house seems to be covered with a veil, and the Rose Manor looks a little deserted.Not counting the house elves, there were only three women living in the huge manor.

Vida and Ida each lived in a suite on the second floor of the building, and the remaining woman was Lola Fournier, who lived on the first floor.She would normally not go to the second floor unless she was summoned by Vader or Ada.

Ada's suite is on the south side of the second floor. The suite consists of a bedroom, a private room, a personal study room, a living room and a nanny's room. The decoration in the suite is mainly Gryffindor's red and gold colors.

Lying on the big bed with gold and red brocade, Ada looked at the embroidered canopy with her eyes blankly, and did not fall asleep for a long time.She sat up from the bed suddenly, she really couldn't sleep.

Leaving the bed, she stepped on the thick carpet with bare feet and put on a silk black lace dressing gown. Taking advantage of the moonlight outside the window, Ada walked out of the brick-red building alone.

The garden under the cover of night is exceptionally quiet. There is no baroque dance music, the magic fountain has stopped working, and even the roses of various colors have become shy, no longer as colorful as they were during the day.

Wandering aimlessly among the flowers, Ada unknowingly came to the fountain, and then she heard someone calling her name by the pool.

"Since you can't sleep, why not come over and have a drink together?"

Ada is not the only one who suffers from insomnia on a hot summer night. Lola Fournier is also sleepless. At this moment, she is sitting by the pool drinking and drinking. A bottle of cognac is floating in the pool behind her.

He was obviously drinking alone, but Laura brought two glasses.Both glasses were filled with wine, one in her hand and the other beside her.

Laura handed the cup next to her to Ada, who was walking over. There was also a piece of ice cream in the cup.Taking the ball-shaped cup, Ada took a small taste.

Since coming to France, aside from other aspects, Ada's drinking ability has been getting better day by day.In the past, she would not have been able to tell the quality of this bottle of cognac, but now she can speak clearly.

"This is Louis' favorite wine." Laura said, her eyes seemed to light up when she spoke.

Laura was reminiscing about the past, recalling the beautiful past, and even there were stars in her eyes.But these words made Ada a little embarrassed. She couldn't swallow the wine she just drank or vomited it.

"If the wine is too cold, you can take out the ice cream." Laura also noticed Ada's embarrassment, and she continued, "I have no ill intentions towards you or Jessica. Everything is Louis's own choice. Destiny."

Ada silently put down the ball-shaped wine glass and talked to Laura about Louis or Jessica, which made Ada feel very inconsistent.

"Don't feel embarrassed, even if there is no Jessica, there will be other women standing by Louis' side." Laura said, "Compared to the pure-blood girl named Elena arranged by Vader, Jessica will let I’m more comfortable, at least I’m not lost because of my background.”

In the chain of contempt of pure-blood families, Muggles are at the bottom, and Jessica is a Muggle.Ada, who was silently eating her big melon, picked up the wine glass again, she was afraid that she couldn't help but sing...

Elena, my name is Elena, I am a girl, just like other girls~

"Tell me about it!" Laura suddenly said something irrelevant, "Although I have never raised a child, I am still a woman, and I can see that you have something on your mind. You don't want Vida to worry, so you keep it in In my heart.”

"No, you are wrong." Ada said, "It's just that I'm not used to being in a new place. It's too big here." Because the place is large, it seems empty. Even if Ada stayed up and walked in the garden in the middle of the night, Vida Don't know either.

Laura came close to Ada, wagging her index finger, and said: "Don't question my ability to drink, I can drink four louis!"

"Should I praise you for being able to drink," Ada said, covering her face, "or should I praise you for being able to drink?"

Laura didn't answer, she leaned back, reached out to grab the wine bottle from the sink, poured herself a full glass, and then Laura drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

She smiled and said: "Can you tell me now? I should have forgotten all about it tomorrow morning...hiccups..." This burp was obviously from drinking too fast, and it was a bit loud.

For wizards, getting drunk is easy, as long as they keep drinking, but it is not easy to drink until they are drunk. Wizards have many ways to keep themselves awake when they are drunk.

Laura drank a glass of wine suddenly, not to bully Ada for growing up in the Muggle world, but to express her attitude to Ada again: no matter what Ada said tonight, she would not remember it, just like it was empty Same as a wine glass.
