In the dark alley, Hermione was nowhere to be found, and she didn't know where she was going.

Evan and the strange girl in front of him were at a standoff, the two of them standing under the Christmas tree, their shadows stretched long into the dark alley with dim candles hanging from the tree.

Evan looked at the girl across from him with a headache, she was dressed in a wide, shabby black robe, with a wrinkled white, cute nose, smelling something in the air, like a kitten, and leaned over to her, getting closer and closer

Her movements seemed to be in no danger other than cuteness, but Evan was under a lot of pressure. He sniffed as hard as she did, and there was no special smell in the air except for the cold air of the night and the faint smell of wine from the revelers in the distance.

At the very least, Evan didn't smell anything.

Looking at the girl's appearance, it seems that she wants to stick to herself like this, relying on her nose to find the food that is not necessary.

Evan took another half step back, even if he didn't feel the danger, it was extremely inappropriate to let a girl he had just met come so close to him.

Under the Christmas tree, the girl walked over to where Hermione had just stood, and by the faint candlelight around her, Evan could clearly see what she looked like.

In the dark corner just now, he just instinctively felt that the other party was very beautiful, with a petite figure, delicate facial features, and fair skin, as if he was a porcelain doll.

Now looking closely under the candlelight, Evan found that the girl's appearance can only be described as amazing.

It is a kind of beauty that can directly touch the depths of the soul.

Her burgundy eyes, in particular, shone like two rubies.

On the contrary, her skin was still not half bloody, as if all the blood in her body was concentrated on her eyes.

"Food," the girl said in a daze, looking a little weak.

"Wait, if you get any closer, I'll attack!" shouted Aven.

He raised his wand in his hand, and as the mana gathered, the light on the end of the wand grew stronger.

Hearing Aven's words, the girl stopped, seeming to hesitate.

"Very good, we need to communicate, as you can see, I have no ill intentions, I just accidentally heard your song singing, so I was curious to take a look at the corner. Evan said patiently, "My name is Evan Mason, what's your name?"

"Evan Mason?!" the girl repeated, without saying her name, she continued to sniff and said slowly, "The smell of food"

She was in a strange state, looking unusually weak, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

There seemed to be nothing else that could attract her other than food.

"I don't have anything to eat on me, and if you don't mind, I can take you to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, where there's a Christmas party going on with lots of goodies. ”

"I can't go, I have to stay here, there's something very important!" the girl shook her head stubbornly, "I smell the food, it's on you"

With that, she approached Evan again.

The other party didn't have a head to say this sentence, which made Ai Wen even more confused.

He was sure he didn't have anything to eat other than a large pile of dark magic books shrunk by the Shrinkage Charm.

Looking at the girl getting closer and closer, Evan did not hesitate, he clenched his wand and shouted, "All petrified!"

Red light flew out of his wand and hit the opponent with unmistakable accuracy.

I don't know what this guy is trying to do, but Evan decides to be careful, the other party's current behavior is too abnormal.

He was going to use the petrification charm to imprison her, and then talk about it.

If you really can't do it, you can take her back to the Leaky Cauldron and ask the bar owner, Lupin, Sirius, or others to find out the girl's family or find out her secrets.

Aven's petrification spell hit the opponent, and just when he thought he had succeeded, the red light of the spell suddenly deflected to the right, changing its original trajectory, brushing the girl's body and falling on the opposite wall.

Evan was stunned for a moment, and he saw the girl's small hand, hidden in the wide sleeve, holding a black wand.

The wand was very short, about seven inches long.

It's amazing that she actually has a wand.

In addition to this wand, what Ai Wen cares about the most is that this girl is very strong.

She had just cast a protective spell almost at the same time as the petrification spell was about to hit, and she was still using a silent spell, a spell that she silently recited in her mind without a sound.

With the quick cast spell and the silent spell alone, Evan thought it would be difficult for him to do it.

Thinking of the strange stains on her body that were like blood stains, and the powerful magic that loomed in the sky, Evan's mind was highly focused, and he didn't dare to be careless.

He waved his wand and cast several spells in quick succession.

The girl didn't fight back, but Aven's spells were all on the verge of hitting her at the last second, deflecting, grazing her body and flying to the side.

There is a magical barrier around her body that protects her from harm.

Evan was sure that the other party was not using the Iron Armor Charm.

It was supposed to be a protective spell he didn't know about, and every time his spell attack was about to hit her, there was always a glimmer of red light around her body.

It's not a way to go on like this, and Evan can be sure that the other party's strength is stronger than his own.

He was going to use more powerful magic, or more directly, to make a loud noise that would draw the crowd in the streets.

But before he could make a move, a red chain suddenly appeared out of thin air, squirming like a poisonous snake, and firmly bound Evan from the bottom up.

Damn, it's a silent spell again!

Evan fell to the ground hard, and it wasn't until then that he realized what had happened.

He found himself too inexperienced in combat, and in fact, he had recognized this problem since the last time he fought Werewolf Greyback and Snape.

Two battles with very different styles, but one thing in common.

That is, Evan has a lot of mistakes that he shouldn't have, and he also has a lot of opportunities that he didn't grasp, just like this time, his real strength has not been fully exerted.

During his communication with Sirius, he also pointed out that Evan had this problem.

Like Hermione, the two of them read a lot of magic books and mastered a lot of spells, but in the actual battle, they couldn't fully display their strength due to their lack of experience.

And this gap became more and more obvious in the battle just now.

Before that, Aven had never fought an enemy with the Silent Charm, and he hadn't mastered the spell-casting technique and didn't know how to deal with it.

The other party used the silent spell to take the lead, and used two spells in succession that Evan didn't know, so that he couldn't defend at all, and he was subdued in such a daze. (To be continued.) )
