London, Diagon Alley, today the Blotted Bookstore seems to be a little deserted, the door of the store hangs a sign that is closed, a wizard in a trench coat stands vigilantly at the door, a wizard who knows a little about the Ministry of Magic, can judge the identity of the wizarding Auror from that iconic dress.

Passing through the business premises in front, there seemed to be no customers today, several solemn-faced witches and wizards were whispering something in the living room of the owner of the Blotted Bookstore, at this time, two wizards, a man and a woman, came in from outside, one of them looked like a dusty man, as if he had made a long trip.

"This is Jack from the United States, he has permission from the Ministry of Magic, Jack, show him your license. The witch looked like she was doing business and said to the wizard who was guarding the living room.

The tall white wizard said with a smile while checking Jack's permission, "Merry, your team leader is already under the basement, you are a little late today, haven't you always been very positive?"

The witch named Merry rolled her eyes helplessly, tilted her head at the white wizard and shook her head towards Jack, who was looking at the room, and said, "It's not because of temporary trouble. ”

The white wizard understood, smiled, and said to Jack, "Hey man, welcome to England." ”

The male wizard, who looked to be in his thirties, energetic and steady at the same time, replied kindly. Murray motioned for Jack to follow him, and the two went to the hidden basement entrance, Murray went down first, and found that Jack didn't seem to be following, and when she looked back, Jack was really holding his wand and casting magic spells at the entrance.

"What are you doing?" asked Murray, curious.

"Nothing, just checking. Jack smiled kindly at Merry.

"What's there to check here, don't you want to see the captain outside? He's down there, hurry up. Merry said impatiently to Jack.

"Okay. ”

The two of them went down to the basement one after another, similar to what Xie An and the others saw that day, but it seemed that these equipment had been used today, and they hadn't had time to clean it up, and some paper was still on the machine, as if printing had just stopped.

Three male wizards, dressed in gray magical robes emblazoned with the Auror logo, were discussing something, one with his back to the entrance without looking back, and the other two facing the entrance, glancing at Merry and Jack.

"Lestrange, there's a guy who wants to see you. The witch Merry said to the three.

The wizard, who had his back to the entrance, turned around, and seemed to notice Merry, and with a sneer, he expressed his doubts.

"This wizard is from the United States, he wants to see you, he has a warrant from the Ministry of Magic. Merry explained again impatiently.

"You must be Jack, right? I know, it's about that incident, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, I thought you would have a few more days, is the road going well?" Lestrange thought for a moment, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly greeted Jack happily.

"Yes, I'm a little tired after a day's flight, but I heard that you're dealing with a tricky case, and I'm curious, so I'm going to take a look. Jack replied kindly.

"Oh, nothing more than a little pirate merchant, no big deal, as you can see, a greedy bookseller's little secret. Lestrange Auror Team Leader said with a smile.

"Indeed, you are busy, I just take a casual look, and if I have time in a while, we will talk in detail. ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll discuss it with the two of them for a while, right away, Phyllis, what do you think, I think it's time to settle the case, hand over that boss to the Ministry of Justice, what do you think?"

"Team leader, I agree with you, but I don't think those doubts seem to have been resolved, especially the account about the elves, and maybe some greedy goblins are also involved in the dividends of this underground factory. Phyllis replied.

"Well, it's not a big deal, someone has already reported it, I think maybe the greedy boss has a bad premonition and wants to transfer the finances. So be it, search the side more carefully and see if you can find any other evidence, especially the goblins you just mentioned. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Team Leader Lestrange Auror finally confirmed the notebook in his hand, and motioned for Jack to go up with him.

"It's just a small case, and it seems like a lot of possibilities, but in fact it's just a wizard's excessive suspicion. I've heard that you're also an expert over there, so it's up to you this time. The two went out of the basement to the backyard, where Lestrange pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Jack.

The cigarette lit automatically, and Jack thought for a while before saying, "Actually, I don't know much about this mission, can you tell me about it?" I only know that I came to find something very important this time, but I don't know what it is, is there any trace of dark magic in it?"

"Don't worry, I'll explain to you in detail when I get to the ministry, you really look tired, it's better to do this, arrange for you to stay today, this matter is difficult to solve for a while, and I am not in a hurry for a while." We'll talk about it tomorrow when we get to the ministry. Lestrange pulled out a nice Muggle lighter and lit herself a cigarette.

"Okay, let's go eat something first, I'm a little hungry right now, I got off the plane, and I don't have time to eat. “

"Oh, you haven't eaten yet, reckless Merry, how can you do this to our international friends, let's go, let's go eat something at once. I knew there was a new Chinese restaurant in Diagon Alley, and we could go and have a big meal together. Lestrange said with a smile. The two left the Blotted bookstore together.

Time flies, and Sheaan, who has spent a long time at Hogwarts, is kicked out by Talley, the prefect of Gryffindor. "It's time for a break, it's time to go back to your lounge. Xie An had no choice but to say goodbye to Hermione, instructing that today's events should not be easily known to anyone, otherwise they would put others in danger. He said goodnight to Harry again, and when he left, he saw Ginny bringing Hermione a cup of hot tea, and Ginny sat down next to Hermione.

Tale followed Xie An and sent Xie An out of the Gryffindor lounge, Xie An was a little unhappy, perhaps because of the time constraints, Xie An wanted to stay in Gryffindor.

"Thanks, Tale, just send me here, I can go back myself. Shea said to the beautiful prefect of Gryffindor.

"No, that's not going to work, it's a rule, students can't leave the common room without permission, and if they have to, they need to be accompanied by a prefect. Tale said with a smile.

"Well, it looks like I can't refuse your harassment all the way. Can I ask you not to ask me any questions?" Xie An walked in front with some impatience.

"What are you talking about, am I so annoying?" Talai was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Xie An to be so direct.

"It's not that I hate it, I don't have any prejudice against you personally, I just don't want you to answer anyone any questions at this time. Xie An said coldly.

"Oh oh, I know, the young man who came to puberty has a lot of his own little secrets, I can understand, so can you tell me one of my biggest concerns, do you have anything to do with the monsters roaming the school? I think you can share your secrets with Hermione Granger, and you must be willing to share them with me. Talai walked in front of Xie An in a few steps, blocking Xie An's way, Shuangyang stared at Xie An and asked.

"You and Hermione are not at all a level of stuff to me, we are friends, and you, are an alumnus of mine. And I'm curious, why do you ask, do you suspect that I, a Ravenclaw, am the successor of Slytherin?"

"According to school records, the basilisk appeared once decades ago. After such a long time, it suddenly reappeared, and if no one specially arranged it, do you think it could come out of the secret room on its own?" Talai didn't pay attention to Xie An's impatience, she smiled and continued to ask.

"Do you want to know from me who opened the secret room, and who else is using the secret room now?" Xie An said coldly.

"Yes, that's it, you summed it up perfectly, and that's the first question I want to know. Tale took a step closer, his eyes fixed on Shea'an's.

"You and Penelope asked the same question, is that what the prefects have in common?"

Talai interrupted Xie An's answer, and she said directly: "Don't rush to give me an answer, I want you to think more!"

The flame-like light instantly filled Xie An's eyes, and Talai staggered back and crashed into the stairs, Xie An's poplar staff waved quickly, and said in a low voice, "Silent." Talai looked into the void in fear, his mouth wide open, as if he was screaming desperately, but there was no sound.

His pupils dilated rapidly, and his distorted expression of pain seemed to express that Talai was experiencing great pain at this time, and Xie An watched as Talai fell to his knees with a blank face, reaching out to beg for forgiveness.

However, Xie An, who believed that Talai's adventurous dementoring behavior was actually an act of aggression and labeled her as an enemy, did not have the slightest compassion, considering that this kind of passive conscious torture would not trigger the Hogwarts barrier for the time being, Xie An had no worries and coldly watched the fantasy of the end hell rage in Talai's mind, until the beautiful and charming prefect rolled her eyes and fainted, and then stepped forward to support the girl who was about to fall.

"Hmph, if you want to read my thoughts, you're still too far away. Looking at the female prefect in her arms, who was still trembling despite fainting in her arms, Xie An said coldly. (To be continued.) )
