Chapter 81
Gail played with the wands for a while, and the elf delivered the prepared food. Shortly after the two had eaten, Doodoo gave Severus a letter that looked like a hastily written note.
It was Lucius who sent the note. He said on the note that Voldemort was furious because of what happened earlier in the day, because it was not his handiwork. It probably mentions that there are factions within the Death Eaters, and one group wants to pull the other group down and take the position themselves, and it is obvious that this time it is the result of a factional struggle.
Although the note did not say in detail which faction had stabbed such a big basket, it was good that the Malfoy family had not been affected by the ease of reading between the lines.
Severus put down the sticky notes and frowned a little in a low voice: "I don't understand." ”
"What?" Gail didn't know what Seaver didn't understand.
Severus looked at Gail, then at the note in his hand, and threw it into the fire: "I just don't understand...... What the hell was Voldemort thinking, what the hell were these people thinking? What a bunch of psychopaths. ”
"Well, since you said so," Gail tilted his head to see the sticky notes inside the fire burned to ashes, his eyes a little out of focus, "they're all mentally ill indeed. In fact, although Grindelwald was also mentally ill decades ago, his mental illness is world-level, and it is not a petty fight by these people. Incompetence and psychopath, tsk, it's not far from extinction! ”
Since the full moon of this month had passed, Severus did not indulge in his potion anymore, but began to read a lot of the latest medical journals. Especially when it comes to genetics, Severus plunges headlong into medical theories whenever he reads something he doesn't understand. So before receiving the school's next semester book list, Severus moved from the Potions studio to the study.
Ever since Gale had performed the mana source reduction operation on more than a hundred Death Eaters that day, he had felt that the realm that had been imprisoned had loosened a little. This hazy state that can be advanced by piercing a layer of window paper makes Gail still very excited. Because it was only a small ascension, Gale didn't have to worry about any visions, so he was very relieved and boldly went to Diagon Alley with Severus to buy books, parchment, and other things for the next school year.
Gale prefers fountain pens to quills. Unfortunately, the core of the fountain pen does not seem to be able to withstand the pressure of magic ink for long - after only a few days of use, the pen is like it has been corroded by time for decades, and it is only one step away from being scrapped. Thankfully, Gail's recent success in his magic has freed him from the fact that he had to change pens every five days on average last year.
Obviously, what happened at the Longbottom family's wedding before, no matter which side of the Death Eaters faction was dealt a blow, and in the end, it indirectly locked the Death Eaters into the rampant behavior of the lately. Diagon Alley has regained a certain bustle, and it is full of wizards coming and going. They had a relieved smile on their faces, unaware that the darkness and terror had not left them.
At Florin's cold drink shop, Gail meets Jared, whom he met at a wedding, and a Ravenclaw girl. Jared blushed the first time he saw Gail and Silver, and stammered a little to greet Gail.
"You can't do that!" Gail lowered his voice to Jared by saying hello, "If you can't be proud of this girl, she might think that you don't want to introduce her to someone you know, or that you're embarrassed because you don't really like her." ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Severus thinks that Gail thinks too much, and no one has a rule that they can't come to the cold drink shop together with ordinary classmates, right?
Jared thinks Gale has a point. He glanced back at the girl who was about to enter the fourth grade after the start of school year, and this time, although his voice was still not very loud, he clearly introduced the girl to Gail and Seaver: "This is my girlfriend, Teddy Brown from Ravenclaw." ”
Teddy smiled generously at Gail and Seaver, "Hello. Jared told me that you must be Gale and Severus. It seems to be Gail, and a little stricter is Severus, and I'm right! ”
"Hello, senior sister." Gail replied to Teddy with a smile.
Teddy waved his hand and said, "You don't need to call me Senpai, just like you call Jared by her name, just call me Teddy." ”
Teddy is a very cheerful girl, with an open-mindedness that is rare for girls of this age. Although Teddy doesn't mind Gail and Severus joining them for a cold drink, Gail and Severus are not blind people, and will make two high-wattage lights to get in the way when the couple is dating.
The two of them found another table to sit down, and Gail silently replaced the large banana boat with ordinary ice cream under Severus's gaze: "I've replaced the banana boat with ball ice cream, don't be strained!" ”
"Who had diarrhea after eating banana boats last time and got a cold in the summer?" While Severus was satisfied that Gale still had a weak consciousness, he still took out the previous things and knocked Gail, "If you do it again, you must not complain about the bad taste of potions!" ”
Severus's words reminded Gale of the bitter, smelly, and spicy taste of the cold potion, and Gale couldn't help but shiver. Fortunately, the ice cream he ordered came up, and the sweet taste saved Gail's taste buds, which were a little uncomfortable when he recalled the cold potion.
Severus didn't quite understand Gail's fondness for sweets, but he didn't have much of a problem seeing that Gale liked it. As long as Gail controls the amount of sweets when eating them, then it is not a big deal...... I hope Gale doesn't become like Headmaster Dumbledore, Severus thought silently, Headmaster's Cheng Dù has really become more and more strict recently!
The time of summer vacation is like a gust of wind, which comes and goes by quickly. The fate of the more than 100 Death Eaters was unknown to Gail, but from his later conversations with Grindelwald, Gale knew Voldemort's intentions - the outcast. Such a person is really only mentally abnormal people who want to follow!
Lucius and Narcissa were engaged at the end of the vacation, and at the same time, it was revealed that Abraxas was recovering from illness. This surprised Gail a little, and he guessed that maybe Lucius had some kind of plan.
On the first day of September, the Hogwarts Express slowly left Platform Nine and Three-quarters and headed for Hogwarts. After Gale got on the train, he met Lucius in the corridor of the carriage. As the two passed by, Gail heard Lucius whisper, "Come to my box," and left as if nothing had happened.
"Gail." Severus, who was following closely behind Gail, knew what Lucius was saying, but despite his proximity to Gail, he still couldn't hear Lucius clearly.
Gail smiled at Seaver and said nothing. The two men continued to act as if nothing had happened, and found an empty box at the back of the middle of the carriage.
After lunch, when all the students were lazy, Gale and Seaver left their box and headed for the Malfoy's private room, which had been set aside by the school trustee.
After Gale politely knocked on the door of the box, the door was pulled open, and Lucius threw a dozen spells at the door after letting Gale and Severus into his box and closing them.
"What's so urgent?" Gale didn't think the train was a good place to talk. Although there is a "clang" sound from the train moving forward to cover it up, no one can guarantee that anyone will eavesdrop, right? You have anti-eavesdropping spells, but you also have eavesdropping spells!
Lucius turned around, still with that proud expression: "I don't think Mr. Green's intelligence will make people notice that you came to my box?" ”
“…… Yes. "What if Gail feels like he's punching this guy who is looking at him with his jaw? Although Gale has begun to develop this year, and his height has also entered 1.63 meters, but in the face of Lucius, who is already more than 1.8 meters, he feels that the other party's chin lifting action is particularly hateful!
But no matter how much he wanted to do it, Gale still held back, after all, Lucius was his partner, not a hostile relationship like before.
Seeing Gael's finger shake again, Severus's Yan zhòng had an unnoticed smile, knowing that Gale was controlling his desire and desire to leave, so he answered the question in Gail's place: "The Confusion Charm and the Ignore Charm are both very useful things, especially when these two spells are used together. ”
"Yes, yes." Lucius said, "The stacking effect of spells is always greater than one plus one. As Muggles, you're good at stacking spells in two years. ”
"What the hell is it that you can't talk about going back to school?" Gail interrupted Lucius's exclamation impatiently.
Lucius is very angry with guys like Gail who don't understand the importance of foreshadowing at all, but based on the current situation, Lucius who is under the roof can only bow his head: "I don't think I still have time after I go back to school." This year it is. years, I don't have much time to disappear from everyone's sight, especially in this situation. ”
"What's the situation?" Gail didn't quite understand what Lucius meant.
Lucius sat down and said to Gail, "There are some things I can't do with an owl. During the summer of this year, after I talked to my father once, the manor was already in a half-state state. The father decided to show weakness by exposing his illness early, giving up some of his fortune and letting the Malfoy family fall from the heart of the Death Eaters. Also, my father felt that my engagement with Sissi could be formalized, so that the fact that the Malfoys had to cling to their in-laws because of the decline of the family at the helm would make my family's regression more convincing. ”
"Very bold and decisive!" Gale said he was amazed that Abraxas was able to give up his family business to protect himself. He felt that ordinary people would definitely not be ruthless to survive so quickly, at least they would have to hesitate for a long time, or they would break their wrists when it was irreversible. The magical life of Gail Green
