"Faint!" A dwarf, seemingly goblin-looking black shadow, suddenly burst out of the grass, a flash of white light, and Xie An's spell hit the target accurately. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's that?" the twins looked curious about what the first creature they attacked was, and Shayne whispered a warning not to use the lighting spell, and then Shayne quietly approached the back door of the house.

The backyard of the Blotted Bookstore is not small, but it seems that the owner of the bookstore is not a person who likes to take care of his own backyard. The backyard was overgrown with all kinds of wild grass, and several squares covered with tarps were stacked against the courtyard wall. The miscellaneous items were scattered casually on the ground, and no one had cleaned them up for a long time, and the four of them had to be careful under their feet in the dark to prevent anything from happening.

After opening the back door with the door opening spell, the four of them quietly entered the house. The twins looked nervous, and Xie An could hear their breathing, and Hermione quietly followed behind Xie An, holding the corner of Xie An's clothes with one hand and her wand in the other.

"It should be on the second floor, the guys in the bookstore don't rest here, the boss is a widower, the children don't live with him, Hermione you stay down there, I'll go up and have a look." Xie An said in a low voice.

In the dark, Xie An saw the three of them nodding.

The stairs of the room creaked, and a bust of a male wizard hanging on the wall seemed to be asleep. After learning from the jazz paintings at the top of the Ravenclaw Tower that these kinetic paintings were expensive and required complex maintenance, Shea was once again surprised by the depth of Hogwarts. For ordinary wizards, it is a very face-saving thing to be able to hang a moving oil painting at home. Of course, those wizard drawings of the chocolate frog are an improvised imitation.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, a slight smell of paper mold came in. Xie An tiptoed to a room in the middle and heard a slight snoring coming.

Taking out the Yi Pan in his hand again, and looking at the complicated long and short silver lines and complex symbols for a while, Xie An muttered: "A small alarm device triggered by a speculum, the boss should really sleep in it." ”

After unleashing some small magic on himself, Xie An tried to trick the alarm magic, and then used Muggle unlocking to open the bedroom door. However, it seems that the owner of the bookstore forgot to lock the door, and Xie An pushed it, and the door opened by itself.

The room didn't look much different from a normal wizard's bedroom, with the only feature being stacks of old books on the floor. Xie An didn't rush to find anything, but came to the bookstore owner's bedside, and gently placed Yi Pan next to a small speculum, which seemed to sense something, and stopped weakly after turning slightly.

The boss slept soundly, and Xie An used a poplar staff to make him sleep more sweetly. Only then is it illuminated with a fluorescent flicker spell. The books piled up on the floor everywhere looked old and new, most of them were travelogues and novels, and Xie An casually flipped through a few books and found that it was a complete waste of time. It doesn't help if the bookstore owner ever had a diary. Xie An, who was secretly thinking about what the key sign was, suddenly heard a muffled sound downstairs and hurriedly rushed out of the bedroom.

Looking down from the second floor, the three of them were not in the living room, Xie An was silent and hurriedly walked down the stairs, and saw that the three of them were really gathered together at the other end of the living room.

"What's going on?"

"Andrew, we've found the entrance to the wizard's basement!" Fred hurriedly explained.

Hermione's wand glowed slightly blue, and there was a small door embedded in the floor, and thinking of the habit of wizards to hide secrets, Xie An also felt the need to enter the basement to check.

"Can't you open it?" Xie An asked.

The spell didn't work, but Fred used the mute charm just in time. Hermione replied.

Xie An squatted down, there was no handle on the door, and the door and the floor were tightly combined, and nothing could be inserted into the gap in the middle. Xie An took the dagger out of Mock's bag and tried to pry the door open with the dagger, but found that the door that seemed to have some spell attached to it did not move.

"There's a protective spell attached to the door, and I don't know how to open it. Hermione whispered. The four of them couldn't make much movement for a while, so they had to scatter in all directions, looking for the mechanism to open the door.

Hermione looked around and noticed an old wall clock hanging from the fireplace wall, and a delicate hourglass filled with silver grit was placed on the fireplace. Hermione flipped the hourglass model over, and with a soft click, the basement door popped up on its own.

"A time-triggered magic trap, the hourglass has only one hour in time, we need to hurry. Hermione, who had stumbled upon the mechanism, looked at the speed at which the silver quicksand was falling, and determined that the hourglass was only an hour.

Xie An opened the small door, and there was indeed a wooden staircase below, and he entered the basement along the stairs, and a pungent smell of ink came from the surface. The lighting spell unleashed by the four of them illuminated the basement, which was a hundred square meters in size, and appeared to have a powerful spatial spell attached to it.

In front of him are rows of old but well-maintained printing machines, one after the other in the basement. Against the wall were piles of white paper, as well as barrels of printing chemicals. The twins walked up to the machine.

"It looks like a pirated book workshop, you look at these books, many of them are best-selling Gildero's travels, "Tibetan Western Snowman", "Vampire Companions" and some Muggle books, I didn't expect that the Blotted bookstore still has such a business, no wonder it can make a lot of money Galleons. George flipped through what was being printed and said in surprise.

"A pirated book workshop is not our goal, what is over there, it looks like there is a cubicle, go and see. Xie An was a little disappointed, it seemed that the owner of the Blotted Bookstore was just making some extra money, and it had little to do with the Dark Lord, whose means were murder and arson, and the goal was to rule the world.

The four of them went to the deepest part of the basement, where there appeared to be a small room. The small wooden cubicle didn't look like it was hiding something important, and when I looked through the papers on the desk, it was all useless accounts and other financial statements.

"Hermione, take these accounts with you, maybe they will be useful in the future. ”

"Andrew, look at this thing, it seems to be a wizard's cabinet, but it looks like it has a strong protective magic attached to it, and I can't open it for a while. Hermione crouched in the corner, studying a medieval chest with three keyholes.

Xie An used the poplar staff to tap on the keyhole, using a few small spells to pick the lock, but it seemed to have no effect. "Why don't we just take this box away. Fred suggested.

"Then we are convicted of burglary. George said.

Looking at the mess around him, he was sure that tomorrow the boss would definitely find Xie An thinking about the bookstore owner's bottom line.

"If he dares to report it to the Aurors, I think the Aurors will let him explain the underground workshop first. Xie An said coldly.

"But this thing is too big, and if we take it with us, I'm afraid we won't be able to go anywhere else. Hermione said.

"In a while, we will divide into two ways, the three of you will return to the school first, you will take the box, and I will continue the following operation. Xie An said.

"Hey, Andrew, it's not a good idea that you're ready to let us out. ”

Xie An didn't answer, and used Transfiguration to try to deform the box, but failed. Then the levitation spell was used again, and the chest floated up. Xie An walked out of the cubicle without saying a word, and the twins protested in a low voice behind Xie An's decision.

A red light shot from the other side of the basement, and the box floating in the air instantly greeted it, and was directly exploded, and countless gold coins exploded from the box.

"Divided!"

"Broken bones!"

"Armor and armor, remove your weapons! Hermione, get down!"

The twins, who didn't even know what was going on, only remembered the responsibility of protecting Hermione, and the two pulled Hermione back into the cubicle, and the three of them hid in the cubicle, and red or white spells kept flying around outside, blowing up the entire basement.

"You damn thieves and robbers, I've informed the Aurors that each of you will get a one-way ticket to Azkaban!" a male wizard roared, his voice full of rage, and it seemed that the four of them had set off some kind of alarm, and the bookstore owner who was controlled by the Sleepy Charm actually woke up.

Xie An didn't answer, and the twins glanced at each other, seeing a hint of worry in each other's eyes. Hermione's face was full of worry at this time, "We have to get out, Andrew seems to have been hit by a spell, he seems to be injured!" Hermione wanted to break free from the twins' suppression and go to see how Shayne was doing.

"Don't move Hermione, this is not the time to be a hero, remember Andrew's explanation?!We'll take the opportunity to escape in a moment, Fred, it looks like we're going to have to try the illusion in advance!" George grabbed Hermione and said to Fred on the other side, who nodded.

"Let go of me, you guys run, I'm going to stay, Andrew might die!" Hermione continued to struggle.

"Hermione, Andrew asked the two of us to come here because he was afraid that you would do something stupid, but George I think we had better make sure of the situation, I'll go out and have a look later, if not, how about we run away?"

"Wait, I don't think Andrew will be hit so easily, look, what is that!"

White light instantly filled the entire basement, and the unicorn with its feet in the Nightmare Flame sprang out of the light, crashing into the bookstore owner hiding behind the old machine.

Xie An, who had completed the raid in an instant in the form of Animagus, turned around twice in place, and only after making sure that the bookstore owner had only been knocked unconscious and that his life was not in danger, he snorted at the compartment.

Hermione rushed out of the cubicle excitedly, she wanted to hug Andrew, but Shea, who was in the form of a unicorn prince with a horse's head of more than two meters, was too tall for Hermione, and finally Hermione could only put her face on the unicorn's chest, and she was speechless with excitement.

"Cool!Andrew, you're so cool now, tell us, what's the secret to your ability to transform into an Animagus form?" the twins followed, looking around Andrew excitedly, as if they couldn't help but caress the golden pattern on the unicorn's body.

After transforming, Xie An, who could only make a horse chirp, snorted a few times in a low voice, and stared at the twins with round eyes.

"Forget to change into the Animagus form you can't speak human words, Andrew you can change back first, and then teach us the experience, by the way, do you need a piece of clothing?"

Breaking free from Hermione's arms, Xie An glared at the twins fiercely, and motioned for the two to go and see Jin Garon scattered all over the place, and the twins glanced at Xie An suspiciously.

"You want us to take these gold gallons, Andrew, we don't steal or rob, even though we believe in your abilities and are short of money. ”

"It's not that, it's something under the Golden Galleon, here. Hermione calmed down her excitement and pointed to a corner of parchment under a pile of gold Galleons.

The twins pushed the mountain-like gold galleons away, digging out three yellow-looking pages.

"Be careful, this thing is like a fragile dead leaf. The twins slowly floated the parchment with their wands.

Hermione carefully took the parchment page with both hands and read it: "It looks like it was torn from a book, six pages in a row, these patterns are somewhat familiar, it seems that I have seen them somewhere, but this text, it seems..."
