Chapter 1108: A Criss-Crossing Lies

As it turns out, escaping also requires experience, and places like the Leaky Cauldron's Bar, which are relatively densely populated, are clearly not suitable for use as temporary hideouts.

Of course, it may also be because the attack on the underground church happened so suddenly, and then it was in a scuffle in the blink of an eye, that Pansy still hasn't really realized what happened to her.

And if she could calm down and think about it carefully, she would find that this plan from the mouth of Maca and implemented by Malfoy and his son was simply a series of pressure and pressure on Martin.

What Maca wants is two results - the first is to force Martin to take the initiative to ask for help from Helbo, and the second is to provide Pansy, a "spy", with a convenient way to penetrate into the other organization.

As long as Martin is cornered, the easier it is for Pansy to take the opportunity to get closer to the other party. After all, friendships in times of adversity are not only quick to develop, but also quite strong.

For Pansy, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to lay a solid foundation for the completion of the mission.

Unfortunately, Pansy, one of those in the know, didn't have time to think about it so much that she didn't even anticipate the inevitable Ministry of Magic search afterwards.

Not to mention, she didn't even know where that Martin had gone.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Ministry of Magic Auror Office, please cooperate with the two of you to show your wand, we need to do a temporary check and compare it with the registration file. ”

The leader of the three Aurors outside the door couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly when he saw Iluri, but he didn't say anything.

Beside him were the other two Aurors, one holding a thick booklet, and the other showing his Ministry of Magic credentials.

Pansy was still a little nervous about the three Aurors who knocked on the door. But fortunately, she has seen many scenes since she was a child, at least she can maintain her composure on the surface.

"Oh, sorry! Three gentlemen...... My wand just went bad. You see, I'm going to Ollivanders early tomorrow morning to buy a new wand! ”

As she spoke, she pulled out the wand that had just been broken by Illuri and handed it directly to the other party.

The leader Auror reached out and took it and looked at it a few times.

It can be found that Iruli was indeed quite decisive at that time, and the wand that was originally intact was now barely connected by a few wooden threads, as if it would be completely broken in two with a little force.

"Well, it looks like a well-maintained wand, but it's a pity......," the Auror muttered casually, before looking back at Illuri, who was standing beside Pansy, "Miss, could you please show me your wand as wellβ€”it can't be broken, right?" ”

"Oh, no, no." Iruli quickly shook her head, then took off the hood from her head, "Sir, I think you can understand...... I'm just a minion and don't need to wear a wand. ”

"Huh?"

At first, the Aurors thought that Iruli was just a child!

"Fairy ...... No, is it a leprechaun hybrid? Okay, okay......"

Under current law, elves are not allowed to hold wands, but there are no specific rules for half-blood descendants like Eruli.

So in general, she can wear a wand, of course, or not, depending on her actual identity and personal circumstances.

After seeing some of the characteristics of Eluli's fairy, the Auror seemed to understand her excuse. But it's clear that it's not going to be that simple.

I saw him casually hand over his wand to the colleague who was holding a booklet beside him, and then he said:

"So, what is the situation with the two of you not sleeping so late?"

Yes, while Pansy and Illuri's rhetoric was passable, it was late at night. Not only did the two of them not sleep in the room, but they were also neatly dressed, and they did look a little suspicious.

"We just had a drink downstairs and were getting ready for bed! I heard the voices of the three of them coming up to checkβ€”" Pansy explained busily, "I ordered a Belgian raspberry beer at Carl's before, he must remember it, just ask!" ”

Speaking of this, she thought to herself, and then added:

"By the way, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Pansy Parkinson and I'm in sixth year at Hogwarts this year - I'm in a hurry to buy a wand today, and Professor McLean can testify for me if needed! ”

"Oh, Hogwarts students?"

Nowadays, the maca name has indeed become a very useful sign. Even if it's just a few words, it will naturally give people a sense of trustworthiness at a critical moment, especially in front of someone from the Ministry of Magic.

In contrast, the name of the Parkinson's family was subconsciously ignored by the other party.

After hearing Pansy's words, the leader of the Auror suddenly glanced to his side again, and asked softly:

"How's it going?"

Immediately after, he heard the colleague with the manual look down at the pages and say:

"Hawthorn wood, the nerves of a dragon, twelve and a quarter inches, smooth and straight, with a long-stemmed daffodil at the end of the stem, bearer of Miss Pansy Parkinson."

"Looks like that's right!" The other party turned his head and smiled politely, "Sorry for the delay, please rest as soon as possible!" Also, remember to close the doors and windows, it may not be very peaceful tonight. ”

With that, he returned Pansy's wand before beckoning the other two colleagues to turn and walk to the next room. Before leaving, he was kind enough to help Pansy and the others close the door.

"Whew-"

As soon as the three Aurors were gone, Pansy let out a long breath.

To be honest, a pure-blood wizard like her hadn't been so nervous when facing the Aurors before. It's just that now, the times are obviously different from the past, and the more pure-blood family members who were extremely beautiful in the past, the more they are now walking on thin ice.

Not to mention, she was indeed one of the targets of those three Aurors' search tonight, could she not feel terrified?

After a few moments, Pansy suddenly remembered her previous words, and after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but wonder what to do next.

That's right, when Shicai moved out of Maca's signboard, she did get a lot of convenience. If it weren't for the special use of Maca's name, the three Aurors might not have left so quickly.

But now that the words have been spoken, does she really have to wait until tomorrow to buy a wand and go back to school?

In a way, a lie may be a temporary convenience, but when a lie needs more lies to remedy, that lie often becomes a big constraint for the liar.

Now, Pansy is in a dilemma of not going back and not going back.

"Elully, do you know when Ollivander usually opens?"

In the face of Pansy's inquiry, Iruli could only shake her head slightly.

Not only her, but how many people would care about the opening hours of a wand shop?

According to the use of ordinary wizards, I am afraid that changing the wand two or three times in a lifetime is too much, and some people will not even need to change the wand in their lifetime.

"Or else...... I'll go to Diagon Alley and wait when it's almost dawn! If you change it, rush back immediately, and hopefully it's still too late! ”

"Good luck, Miss Parkinson."

Ilully pursed her lips, but she was also very worried. In terms of the consequences of returning late, she would be in even more trouble than Pansy.

In fact, what she had said to the Auror was not entirely false, for she was indeed only a servant, but her master did not forbid her to hold a wand.

However, having a certain amount of freedom in one's personal life does not mean that one can still be free in the service of one's master.

If she didn't finish her work before her master got up, she would be punished.

"Just one night, go back tomorrow before dawn, it should be fine." Ilully muttered to herself, "It's just that I won't be able to accompany Miss Parkinson to Ollivanders then......"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Pansy's side face again, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

Seriously, the moment before opening the door, Pansy's "friend" really touched her. Because she has never said that to her since she was a child.

And if it weren't for the inferiority complex that penetrated into her bone marrow, she wouldn't have been able to help but buy the ancient magic ritual that Martin had spread out when she went out to buy daily necessities, and even killed someone to complete the ritual afterwards.

But in the final analysis, what she wants is not some outstanding strength, but a self-esteem that can be equal to others.

Now, Iluli, who has embarked on this road of no return like Pansy, actually doesn't know what to do for a long time.

However, just as she was flustered, the previous raid on the underground church was coldly staged. If Pansy hadn't helped, she would have been the only "cultist" to be caught red-handed by Lucius's side in the entire battle.

Therefore, in the face of this Miss Parkinson's who not only helped her lost soul, but also gave her a promise of "friend", a lot of gratitude naturally surged in Yiluli's heart.

If she had to say, she really didn't want to go back to that master's house now. Although her master would not abuse her, that limited "freedom" came from complete disregard.

Rather than returning to that family that lacked the slightest warmth, she might as well stay with Pansy, a "friend".

"Miss Parkinson's ......"

After a moment, Ilully suddenly asked softly:

"I'll ...... tomorrow Can I go to the wand shop with you? ”
