Chapter 272 It’s a long way home

The relationship between Britain and France seems to be very good, but in fact the two countries have been in constant disputes throughout history. One claims to be European orthodox and a descendant of Rome, while the other is alone overseas, far away from the mainland.

With William the Conqueror taking over England, the kings of England became French, and in addition to the crown, they also held the title of Duke of Normandy. The two countries have entered a new era and have more intersections.

It was also at this time that many wizarding families came to England from France, such as the Malfoy family, the Lestrange family, etc.

There were no secrecy laws for wizards at that time, and there were no large-scale witch hunts by Muggles. Armand Malfoy used the land given by William the Conqueror to establish Malfoy Manor, and his descendants lived here for ten centuries.

After that, a war broke out between Britain and France, who disliked each other. What started as a political struggle over the throne evolved into a war that lasted more than a hundred years.

Both sides win or lose, and it is always the civilians who suffer.

It finally stopped for a few years, and the people of the two countries were able to cultivate and live a healthy life. But the Second Hundred Years War began again, this time for a greater benefit, fighting for the status of European hegemony.

It was not until Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena that the Second Hundred Years' War came to an end.

When Prussia was unified and Germany emerged, the enemies of Britain and France finally shook hands and made peace, signed the "Anglo-French Entente", and joined forces to defeat Germany in two world wars.

Fortunately, this is a time of peace, and even if Ada comes here alone, she will not be greeted warmly. However, what Ada didn't know was that her Muggle mother also came to this country alone and met the pure-blood wizard Louis Rozier.

The transportation in the magical world is indeed convenient and fast, but the comfort level is really terrible. After running so far, it didn't take much time, but I was still exhausted both physically and mentally.

Despite this, Ada did not have time to rest, nor did she go to see if the phantom really existed in the Louvre, whether the underground ossuary really led to the underworld, or taste the coffee on the left bank of the Seine.

The first time she arrived in Paris, the tired Ada went to Place Furstenberg, the smallest and most romantic square in Paris. The entrance to the Ministry of Magic in France is here.

Tree roots will rise from the ground around the fountain in the center of the square, forming a birdcage elevator around visitors, leading underground to the Ministry of Magic headquarters. This method looks much more pleasing to the eye than the telephone booths of the British Ministry of Magic or the toilet bowls.

It is indeed a romantic country.

The decoration style of the Ministry of Magic hall is rich in art, and the circular dome is covered with constellations.

When I first looked up, I felt like I was looking up at the stars. Blue, white and red tricolor badges can be seen everywhere, along with the motto of the French Ministry of Magic: Spell, Spell, Summon.

Ada came here to register with the Ministry of Affairs. After all, she entered France legally, which was also Dumbledore's request. There is no problem with her wand detection. If something can be detected, the system will be considered a loser!

Although Ada's French was still a little broken and she had some difficulty communicating with the gentle lady from the Affairs Department, her immigration registration was completed after the wand test. She can now go to the address on the letter.

When it was getting dark, Ada, dressed in an aqua dress, appeared in a high-end residential area in Paris. She hesitated, but still came straight here.

Following the address on the letter, she walked through one high-end residence after another, and finally stopped in front of an old-style house with roses planted in the courtyard.

Ada stopped at the door, hesitant.

If the people living inside regard him as a shame like other Roziers, then everything will be easier to handle. They can just ask the guy to find out his life experience. But if the people inside treat her very well, Ada really doesn't know how to deal with it.

Ada walked through the yard and climbed the stone steps, knocking gently on the oak door.

Suddenly, the oak door creaked open a crack, and a house elf poked his head out from behind the door. The moment he saw Ada, the house elf's tennis ball-sized eyes filled with tears.

The house elf Agnes bowed deeply, the tip of her nose touching the ground. Agnes was so excited that her voice trembled, and she said, "Miss, welcome home!"

The house elf Agnes looked very clean, and the old pillowcase on her body was washed and white. It seemed that her master did not abuse her the way Malfoy abused Dobby.

"Uh...Hello..." Ada responded dumbly. This was too enthusiastic, and the style of painting didn't seem right! Shouldn't you despise yourself?

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the house elf, Ada walked into the house. The decoration style, furniture, and everything in the house are all in the style of the 1920s and 1930s, which made Ada feel like she was in an old movie.

There is also a photo of a young man placed on some tables or cabinets. The man's appearance is the same as what Ada saw in the Mirror of Erised. It's just that his face is greener and there is less vicissitudes in his eyes.

Ada sat down on a sofa, and the elf Agnes handed her a photo album with both hands and poured her a cup of English black tea. Agnes said: "Miss, this is your father, Master Louis Rozier."

After speaking, the elf walked out of the room, leaving Ada alone sitting on the sofa, looking through the photo album in her hand. The man in the photo had a warm smile, which was completely different from the pure-blood wizard in Ada's impression.

But that's right, when you look at Thierry Rozier and Henry Rochell, you know that this family doesn't look serious.

After a while, the door opened again, and Vader walked in wearing a military green robe. Her face was covered with wrinkles, but her back was straight. She looked at Ada steadily, and two lines of tears fell from her eyes.

Ada stood up. She suddenly wanted to run away. The old man's tears made her a little overwhelmed.

Vida walked towards Ada quickly, which was not at all the speed that an old man should have. She pulled Ada into her arms and held her tightly, as if she was afraid that Ada would slip away.

She whispered in Ada's ear: "I finally found you, Ada, my child... I'm sorry for making you suffer so much..."

The house elf Agnes wiped the tears from her eyes with the pillowcase on her body, then she turned and left the room, closing the door gently.

Ada still didn't move, her mind was blank now. She didn't know how to face this crying old woman, how to face her grandmother, this was never taught in the book! Ada stiffly raised her arms, placed them on Vida's back, and gently patted her grandmother's back.

Perhaps Ada herself didn't notice that there were tears in her eyes as well. The pain and grievances of these years also flooded into my heart in an instant. Ada's voice also trembled a little, and she said softly: "I'm back, grandma."

Thanks to the book friend who raised his sword to discuss the Tao, the first leader, hehe
