The vintage Ford sedan carried the family of three back to 28 Hadlow Road.

It was getting late, and after getting out of the car and waiting for Nick to reverse the car into the garage, Carl opened the door and entered the house with his adoptive parents.

The home is still the same, and there is no change from half a year ago.

"Honey, whatever you want to eat, mom will make it for you now. ”

As soon as she got home and took off her coat, Louise asked excitedly.

Even before Carl could speak, she had already put on her apron.

"Wait a minute, my dear. Nick stopped her.

"We need to get down to business first. ”

"Oh, you said that. Louise seemed to react immediately, took off her apron, and sat down on the couch.

Then, Nick pulled out an invitation from somewhere.

"Son, I received this with your mother, and you are not at home, so we can't give a reply. ”

Carl took the invitation and looked at it, it was a wedding invitation.

The style is a bit old, but it is very gorgeous, inlaid with gold lace, and it is very weighty to hold in the hand, even a little pressing.

When I opened it and came inside, the text was written in flower characters, the format was quite ancient, and the tone was very formal.

The invitation is an invitation to their whole family.

Carl browsed casually, and to be honest, he had already guessed where the invitation was coming from when he took it from Nick.

However, when he saw the column of the married person, his eyes immediately widened.

Isabella Swan and Jacob Black.

What the heck?

Raise your head and look at Nick and Louise.

The two of them had such expressions.

"Carl, we were taken aback at first. Louise said.

"What do you think, son?" asked Nick.

"Let me think about it first. ”

Carl said, rubbing his eyebrows.

Seriously, the world is changing so fast that he can't understand it.

......

Karl didn't give an immediate reply, anyway, it was still a long time before the date written on the invitation, and everything seemed to be just an episode.

Over the next few days, Carl noticed that Nick and Lois seemed to be getting busy.

Except for the day he just came back, the two of them were at home with him, and the two of them were away from home all day these days, and they didn't know what they were busy with.

Today is Christmas Eve, less than a day before Christmas, and the festive atmosphere is already very strong, with colorful lights hanging all over the eaves and corners of every house.

At half past seven in the morning, Carl lazily got up from his bed.

After some washing, he went to the living room, turned on the old-fashioned TV, and prepared to watch it while eating the breakfast that Louise had prepared for him.

Just like the other day, Nick and Louise still went out early, leaving him home alone.

Carl warmed himself a glass of milk and ate the bread and eggs one by one, while glancing at the old-fashioned television from time to time, looking at the morning news that was blurry like a mosaic.

"Bang bang bang!"

Someone knocked on the door, Carl frowned, he didn't order takeout, how could someone knock on the door early in the morning.

Through the doormirror, Carl saw the man standing outside the door.

It turned out to be a police officer.

Carl was secretly a little vigilant, the world he lived in was not a pure Harry Potter world.

It's okay to say if it's an ordinary police officer, but if you encounter a terminator or something, it's easy to be tragic if you're not careful.

Opening the door, Karl asked, "Is there anything wrong, officer?"

At the same time, his gaze glanced at the policeman a few times.

The latter has a round face and looks harmless to humans and animals.

Carl was looking at the police, who seemed surprised that a child had opened the door for him and had not spoken for a long time.

"What's the matter, officer?" Karl asked again.

"Oh!" the policeman came back to his senses and smiled a friendly smile.

Karl noticed that he had a gold tooth in his mouth, and immediately sneered in his heart.

"Boy, where are your adults?" said the policeman with a smile.

As he spoke, he poked his head out and looked into the room.

But because Carl was standing in the doorway, he didn't see anything.

Karl simply stepped out of the way for him to see clearly.

At the same time, it is said: "They are not at home, is there anything wrong with you?"

The policeman looked at it for a while, then retracted his head and said to Carl with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a routine inspection, you know, tomorrow is Christmas, and a lot of burglars like to burglary at this time, so we have to go door-to-door to check to see if everyone is taking precautions." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be this. ”

Carl nodded and said to the police with a smile: "My parents won't come back until late, and I don't know what anti-theft measures are in use at home, do you want to come in and have a look?"

"That's the best, of course!"

The policeman said happily, and then walked back into the house.

It's just that before I took half of the steps, an instinctive sense of crisis came to my heart.

He just felt that once he took this step, he would never be able to get out again.

In an instant, cold sweat soaked his back, but he didn't take a half step behind.

He hurriedly retracted his foot, and said to Karl with a forced smile:

"Still no, boy, when your parents come back, tell them what I just said, and tell them to take precautions. ”

Carl nodded.

"Don't worry, officer, I'll tell them. ”

Then, he said, "By the way, don't you really want to go into the house and have a look?"

After speaking, he looked at the police expectantly.

The latter shook his head vigorously, "No, no, I still have a lot of homes to go, so I won't bother." ”

After saying that, Fei also fled.

Looking at the back of the fleeing policeman, Carl pouted boredly.

Ya's intuition is quite accurate.

When he came to his house, he was really looking for death.

Count him fast!

......

At night, Carl lay on the bed in the bedroom, flipping through a copy of "Standard Mantras: Level 7", the contents of which he could memorize long ago.

At this time, there was a knocking sound on the glass in my ears.

"It's coming, it's coming. Karl muttered, got out of bed, and went to the window.

Hela's large figure took up more than half of the outside of the ledge, and the rest was occupied by Hades, and two birds, one large and one small, stood on the ledge and looked straight at him.

Opening the window, Carl let two birds in.

The two birds follow the Hogwarts Express and join him back to their home at 28 Hadlow Road.

During the day, Carl let them out to let them out, and at night the two birds would fly back on their own.

Carl didn't close the window immediately, and the cold wind from outside the house gave him a burst of refreshment.

Sticking his head out of the window, looking from near and far, the streets and rooftops were full of snow, glistening in the bright moonlight.

Then, he saw what he least wanted to see.

He saw the policeman during the day, and next to him was his accomplice, tall and thin.

However, the two were tied up with ropes at this time, lying on the ground, as if they were unconscious, like two pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

It doesn't matter if these are the four standing on the side.

Two men and two women, one yellow and three white.
