In the dim but spacious room, Aglaia sat on the bed and said with a grin, "I have a plan. ”

Hoffa was even more vigilant: "Huh?"

Aglaia's voice was so subtle that it tickled Hoffa's ears.

"I stole one of my mother's orders, and there was a group of wizards in Heldsburg, Wales, who needed a batch of medicine, and I had nothing to do to make that medicine over the summer. ”

As soon as she heard her words, Hoffa immediately wanted to get up and leave, but Aglaia quickly wrapped her arms around him, almost pressing on him: "Hey, hey...... Let's do it. ”

"Do what?" said Hoffa, in a cold sweat.

"Sell medicine to Wales. ”

"Wales?"

"That's right. It's all medicine for injuries and illnesses, and a wizard over there offered a thousand Galleons and asked our family to buy five hundred pounds of medicine. If you'd like, we'll give you a ride. ”

"How much?"

Hoffa was stunned.

"Shh......h

Seeing that Hoffa's voice was a little louder, Aglaia immediately covered his mouth, and was so excited that she couldn't control herself.

"Be quiet, don't let my mother hear me, I'll die if my mother hears me. ”

"Who's going to deliver it?"

Hoffa stared and lowered his voice.

"We, of course we send. ”

"We're smuggling drugs...... I wiped my ......" Hoffa was stunned: "Miss, I'm afraid you're not teasing me!? Five hundred pounds, do you carry it or do I carry it?"

"I have a stretch backpack without a trace, what are you afraid of. ”

Aglaia shook around Hoffa: "Listen, after this ticket is done, we have earned the first pot of gold in our lives, and we can eat and drink spicy ......."

"You can go downstairs now and eat and drink spicy food. Hoffa sensibly exposed her lies.

"It's different!

Aglaia was so anxious that she kicked Hoffa barefoot.

"Listen, Hoffa, you've got to help me, I'm going crazy to stay in this place any longer, machine-like housekeepers, machine-like maids, funless socializing, spending all day with those boring people, I'm almost at the limit......"

Hoffa's eyes widened: "What the hell are you looking for me for!?"

Aglaia: "Please, you don't think I'm here to eat cake for you. ”

Hoffa's eyes widened: "Bastard, I'm here for my classmate's birthday, not to eat cake, but for what?"

"If you want a cake, I'll have someone bring it to you now. ”

Hoffa looked at her in disbelief: "What business, what bullshit first pot of gold, you just want to play, don't you?"

"Yes, take me to play. "You can go anywhere, Wales, Ireland, New Zealand, wherever he is, as long as it's not here." ”

"No, I can't. Hoffa flatly refused, "With your identity, you can't afford to sell me if something goes wrong." ”

"Hey!" Aglaia was anxious, "You are the youngest Animagus in history, and you are the one who has released the legendary shield curse, you can't afford this." ”

"Oh, how did you get this blind trust. ”

Hoffa spread his hands: "I'm just a poor wizard without a wand. ”

"Buy another one, as long as you take me out, I'll buy you another wand in minutes. ”

"Die. Hoffa said lazily, "I've been to the Ollivanders house a long time ago, and I don't have a wand that suits me at all." I can't fart out of those wands. ”

Aglaia was unhappy, she sat cross-legged on the bed, and pouted very unhappily: "Hoffa~ Did you bring a birthday gift, I remember, someone said at Christmas, the gift was made up for the birthday." ”

Hoffa turned his head in embarrassment, unwilling to look directly into the blue eyes.

Aglaia knelt on the bed and moved her knees to the other side: "Look at you, I haven't said a word of happy birthday for a long time, let you take me out to play, you still push back, do you think I'm a friend?"

"You don't come!"

Hoffa pushed her away and sneered: "I guessed that you didn't have a good heart when you asked me to come to your house, and it seems that you didn't have a good heart when you asked me to go to work in St. Mungo." ”

Aglaia: "Hofa, you're the best. ”

"It's useless to pat yourself on the back, you have to die of this heart, there is a war outside, you want to go out with me, let your mother agree first. ”

After Hofa finished speaking, he walked towards the door without looking back. At this moment, he felt that he was possessed by Osivia's spirit, and the woman had changed herself.

But the moment he held the doorknob, a faint cold snort came from behind him: "You pay for the medicine yourself." ”

Hoffa chuckled in his heart, turned his head and asked, "What medical expenses?"

Aglaia showed a devilish smile: "You can handle the injury to Kerrigan Burton, as well as the cost of his treatment, as well as the subsequent criminal liability and judicial proceedings." ”

Hoffa: "Hat?"

"Get out, I don't know you when you get out of this door, you can either take me out of this house, or wait for those black-hearted capitalists to squeeze it dry. ”

Hoffa stopped abruptly.

Aglaia held her head, lay on her side on the bed, scratched her right thigh with the toe of her left foot very tastelessly, and sighed with a strange emotion: "You are responsible for beating people, at least, I have to run to the Ministry of Magic more than a dozen times, hey, I went to that place once, I don't want to go a second time." ”

Hofa groaned, "..... You old witch......"

"Hee-hee, look~"

Aglaia sat up, spread her hands happily, and said with a smile, "My friend is still a little useful, isn't it?"

Hoffa stopped talking, and as he spoke, a cry came from downstairs.

“... Are you ready, honey?"

Aglaia walked to the door, patted Hoffa and whispered: "Then, it's decided, let's go and smuggle drugs together and earn him tens of millions of Galleons, hehehehe......"

Hoffa frowned at her idiotic face and didn't answer.

From downstairs there was another shout: "Dear ......"

With an irritable and impatient expression, Aglaia opened the door and shouted to Tian Tian below, "Okay, here we are!"

After shouting, she quickly ran to the bed, put her high heels on her feet left and right, and then took out a pearl bag from under the pillow, and adjusted the silver ornaments on her head, and said to Hofa: "Now you go down and eat cake, remember to wait for my signal." ”

"What signal?"

Hoffa asked coldly.

He was answered by a slam on the door.

Aglaia lifted her skirt and closed the door and went out.

......

......

Hoffa was left alone in the room, and after three seconds, he grabbed his hair in exasperation: "Damn!"

Hoffa's sudden wayward request made Hoffa uneasy, and he did want to go out to find the wizard's secret realm, but he didn't want to take an oil bottle with him.

If she were Miranda, Hoffa might have begged for it, because Miranda was strong enough and calm enough to be a good helper.

But Aglaia is not a good teammate candidate, although she is not bad, she is too easy to get started. It's like drinking fake wine, and God knows if she's getting better now.

He didn't want to rush down to the party, so he just walked around Aglaia's room for a while.

At this time, there was a sound of air raid sirens in the distance, and he walked to the window, leaned on the eaves of the window and looked out, the dark blue sky was covered with dark clouds, and in those clouds, there was a faint amount of fire.

It's an airplane.

In 1940, he was afraid that the German Muggles were already planning an air war against Britain, and his memory of history was not very clear, but he knew that London would be bombed on a large scale in the next two years.

He didn't know exactly when. I don't know if wizarding colonies will be bombed in this world, or if wizards will be involved in these Muggle wars.

But the only thing that is certain is that it will not be safe everywhere, and this guy Aglaia is really going to pick the time.

After looking at it for a while, the air defense sirens in the distance were gradually lifted.

(Why don't you make a little report to her mother..... ）

The moment the alarm was lifted, a thought suddenly came into Hoffa's mind, he thought to himself that anyway, Aglaia had made so many small reports to himself when he was in the first grade, or he would be able to be a second and fifth boy Murong Fu again.

A wicked grin broke out of his mouth, and he turned to open the door and walked downstairs.

As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, he heard a resolute voice from downstairs.

（...... The more times like this, the more we must unite the family, the family's plan to transform the industry is not a moment, the benefits of this transformation to the future are immeasurable, but the cost and pain of reform, only by working together, can we bear it...... ）

Downstairs, a birthday party is taking place. Standing on the third floor, Aglaia's mother was still giving a speech below, but the content of the speech had little to do with Aglaia's birthday. Most of them are the strategic policies of some families in this era.

In order not to cause embarrassment, Hoffa used a ghost walk to the corner of the hall and sat down.

When he saw Aglaia's mother giving a speech, Aglaia herself was talking to several men and women of the same age, who were supposed to be her childhood playmates or relatives and friends.

At the end of the speech, the crowd applauded. Then the well-dressed people who came to the party began to walk around, talking to each other, but almost all of them were talking about business.

Medicine, munitions, real estate, immigration......

Gradually, Hoffa began to feel that something was wrong.

He had never seen a birthday party like this.

Indeed, as Aglaia had said, her mother was just looking for an excuse to bring the people of those families together. The huge birthday cake was placed in the center of the hall, but not many people cared about it, it was just a decoration.

The original meaning of this birthday party is not remembered or cared about by many people.

Hoffa picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and silently observed his surroundings.

The more I looked at him, the deeper his brow furrowed, and all that was around him was an endless exchange of information. Adult conversations that were extremely complex, these voices were like flies, buzzing and buzzing in his ears.

Aglaia was talking and laughing in the hall with a group of men and women of the same age, her expression was pleasant, but there was irritability and impatience hidden in the depths of her eyes, and she looked around with her eyes from time to time.

It wasn't until she saw Hoffa drinking quietly in the corner that she calmed down a little.

And just as Hoffa was drinking, a woman sat down in front of him.

Hoffa was stunned and put down the glass.

Dressed in a black gown and with black gloves on her hands, it turned out to be Aglaia's mother, who, after finishing her speech, did not talk to anyone about business, but sat down in front of Hoffa. Eyes stared at him without blinking.

She has the same blue ghost-like eyes as Aglaia, and she is very beautiful.

But Hoffa could see the subtle crow's feet in the corners of the other person's eyes, a woman in her thirties, she was well maintained, but she still couldn't resist the signs of the passage of time.

"Hello Auntie. ”

Although he didn't know what she was coming for, out of politeness, Hoffa wanted to stand up and say hello to the other party. However, this action was stopped by her wave of her hand.

"Don't be inhibited, your name is Hoffa Bach, right?" the woman asked directly.

"Yes. ”

"This outfit fits you quite well. "It should have been my husband's clothes when he was young." ”

"Thank you. Hoffa politely folded his hands and looked very well-behaved.

But Aglaia's mother didn't let up at his performance, and her eyes turned to Hoffa's ears.

"Did you hit it yourself?"

Hoffa touched his silver stud earrings and smiled a little awkwardly, speaking of which, his image does have the taste of a bad boy, although that is not his intention.

"A friend gave it. He replied.

"Is your hair dyed, too?"

Hoffa was stunned and shook his head.

Elise raised her eyebrows noncommittally, apparently not convinced, and said, "I've heard Aglaia mention you a lot in the past two years, and she's always talking to me about a rival at school, and I'm curious about who can be her nemesis. ”

Hearing this, Hoffa's lips twitched twice.

"Why don't you go with them?" asked the woman, pointing to Aglaia, who was chatting with the crowd.

Hoffa looked at the crowd and shook his head: "I don't understand what they talked about. ”

"I don't understand or I don't want to understand. ”

The woman's eyes were slightly sharp.

Hoffa was stunned.

The woman smiled and waved her hand: "I also graduated from Ravenclaw, and I was proud when I was young. ”

"That's right. Hoffa scratched his head, thinking to himself that the academy seemed to be genetic.

"I heard Jacob about the hospital. ”

The woman suddenly changed her words, and without the slightest drag in the mud and water, Hoffa immediately sat up straight.

"I ......"

"It's not a big deal, it's normal for employees to have friction with each other. It's just that this kind of thing, after all, it doesn't have a good impact when you say it. ”

(Hoffa frowns slightly, this woman is not as strong as Aglaia, and she doesn't give herself the slightest chance to interject.) ）

"I see. Hofa said with restraint that he didn't want to continue the conversation.

The woman nodded, her expression softened a little, and she looked at her daughter in the crowd, her eyes flooding with love:

"Aglaia is a very well-behaved girl, and I don't think she wants to see that happen. ”

Hoffa was drinking water and almost didn't squirt it out when he heard this.

It is said that they know their daughter, but does this woman really understand her daughter? Or do they have differences in their understanding of the word well-behaved?

"How long has it been since you've spoken to her face-to-face?" asked Hoffa.

Elise turned her head and frowned, "What?"

"Nothing. Hoffa shook his head, some words were good to think about, and it would hurt too much to say them.

"What about your parents?" she changed the subject, as if she wanted to talk to Hoffa.

"Uh... None of them. ”

"Orphanage-raised?"

"Almost. Hoffa said dryly, feeling that there was some interrogation in the other party's words.

"Which one?"

"Woo's Orphanage. ”

"It's Mrs. Cole who takes care of you?"

Mrs. Cole's Hoffa thought for a long time before she could find the man's name from memory.

He finally understood that the things that Aglaia's mother had asked him had probably been investigated a long time ago, but he had to ask them again, what was it?

Hoffa's attitude became cold: "What do you want to say, I will listen to you." ”

She said politely, "I'm sorry, I'm a straight-talking person. But as a mother, I always want my children to live in a stable environment. I hope you don't fight casually in the future, can you guarantee it?"

I was stunned for about three seconds.

Hoffa finally understood the other party's intentions, she saw herself as an unstable factor, so she came over and talked to herself.

The glass was pushed away, and Hoffa looked at each other without blinking, and asked, "Why is Aglaia still attending Hogwarts?"

Elise: "What?"

Hoffa: "I mean, with your background, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a transfer, and since you think it's unstable, why don't you just send her to the United States." Isn't there a magic school there, too?"

Elise probably didn't expect this young boy to be surprisingly calm, which was completely different from the rampaging boy she expected.

"Does that have anything to do with what we're talking about?"

"I can understand that you are concerned about your daughter's safety. But why are you reluctant to let her go to a safe place?"

There was silence for a moment.

The woman's body tensed, and she said in a deep voice: "She is too young to live outside for the time being. She should stay with her family, and if she wants to go, she should go together. ”

"You are not willing to give up her company. ”

Hoffa said sharply, "With all due respect, she probably doesn't like you very much. ”

Elise stood up suddenly, her expression was very cold but suppressed her anger, and several men chatting around her were stunned, they stopped chatting in business, and looked at the young woman in black standing in place with some wonder and fear.

Hoffa felt that if she didn't care about face, she might have to kick herself out immediately.

Elise: "Is a 13-year-old boy going to teach me how to take care of a child?"

The idea of having a good chat gradually faded, and Huo Fa sighed secretly, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

He gave up the idea of telling her about Aglaia's thoughts, and the mother in front of him was a little too much.

After glaring at Hoffa for a few seconds, she seemed to suppress her anger and wanted to say something.

However, at this moment, I heard a soft crackling sound from the top, and the lights in the hall suddenly went out.

It was pitch black.
