"I said, Olivia...... You'd better throw that guy out of the unknown origin! It's okay to throw it anywhere...... It's too dangerous to keep such a guy at home! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you leave a comatose person outside? If you say that, Dad will be sad! ”

"Huh? I care about you! It's okay for me to be myself, I'm leaving tomorrow anyway, but what are you going to do? What if the guy wakes up and turns out to be a criminal...... Oh! Then Dad will be sad! ”

Right next to the Jackson Trade Square, as the female reporter had spoken, on the upper floor of an old-fashioned pharmacy, a pair of sisters were talking to each other without giving in.

My sister looks older, about 30 years old; The younger sister is only in her early twenties at most, and the age difference between the two sisters is a lot.

But in fact, compared to her older sister Olivia, her younger sister Abigail is more intelligent and clever, and she is much more vigilant against the darkness of society.

"Whatever you say, I have to leave him behind anyway," said her sister Olivia stubbornly, "Dad never gave up on any of his patients, and we, as his daughters, should follow his example!" ”

"That being said, didn't you get into the therapist either?" Younger sister Abigail said disapprovingly as she sorted out her suitcase, "As Dad's daughter, we have already failed. ”

"No, even though I have to visit the store every day, I haven't stopped......" Olivia said with a determined face, "I'll never give up!" ”

"It's thirty, my sister!" Abigail dropped the clothes in his hand, straightened up and said angrily, "Isn't it good to put this thought of yours on potions?" You are at least more talented in potions than a more demanding healer, and can't being a pharmacist also heal and save people? ”

"......" Olivia sneered as she leaned her neck and squirmed on the couch, writhing like a coquette, "It's just a little stronger, Potions is much harder than you think......"

"It's thirty!" Abigail looked at the creature on the sofa speechlessly, and said weakly, "Forget it, let it be!" What a love for it......"

She paused, but then changed her voice and pulled the topic back again: "...... But before then, you'll have to get that suspicious guy away! Otherwise, I don't feel at ease! ”

"No way!" Olivia jerked off the couch.

"My sister—" Abigail groaned.

Olivia suddenly stretched out her hand to her sister with a hint of approval in her expression.

"That's right! That's it! She was pleasantly surprised.

"Huh?" Abigail had long been frightened by this unreliable sister who was often startled, and said unmoved, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm my sister!" Olivia emphatically said, "My sister should listen to my sister!" Got it? ”

"Then act like a sister!" Abigail scolded dissatisfiedly, "How long has it been since the store had a new potion?" People's 'gilt crucibles' are all out of the UK! Called...... Well, the 'Immortal Hidden Elixir', the profit is high! ”

"'Immortal Hidden Elixir'?" Olivia tilted her head and said, "Sounds weird?" ”

"You've got weird brains!" Abigail hung his head and said, "Forget it, you can do it yourself......"

For this sister who wants to be a therapist, she is helpless. Her good sister is not only simple-minded, but also perfectly inherits the stubbornness of her dead ghost father, and she doesn't listen to what she says.

She should really suffer a loss, so that she may be able to understand some common sense of life.

“…… Well, that's it! Abigail nodded to himself.

Although according to the itinerary, she should leave for New Orleans early tomorrow morning to inspect the local mandrake-growing area.

When she was in school, she showed great potential in herbalism, and her own efforts laid a solid foundation for her to find the good job she is now.

Compared with the hopeless sister in front of her, Abigail's sister is obviously more mature and sensible.

But after all, it is a family, and in the case of the death of both parents, the relationship between the sisters is still very good. So even if she postpones the trip, she has to work hard for her sister.

However, plans don't always keep up with changes. She had just made up her mind to pretend to leave, and then hid to secretly observe the follow-up situation at home, but the door of the house creaked open at this moment.

“…… It's you...... Did you save me? ”

He has a hoarse voice and messy medium-length hair, a sickly pale face on his thin face, deep eye sockets, dry lips, and a thick bandage on his upper body.

Look at him like that, he looks like a seriously ill patient.

But just looking at the resolute silhouette and unyielding eyes, it still exudes stubbornness and strength. It was Sirius Black, a wizard who dared to break through the darkness with his blood and life.

"Oh! You can't get up yet—"

Olivia, who was pure, reacted almost immediately, and without thinking about anything, she jumped up from the couch and rushed towards Sirius, who was standing against the wall.

"Go and lie down! You're too badly injured to move around...... Get in and go back to bed......"

Olivia almost dragged and pushed Sirius back into the room.

Abigail, who was standing by the suitcase, seemed to want to say something, but looking at Sirius's injuries, he finally put up with it for the time being.

"It seems that he can't do anything harmful for a while, so let's ask him when he gets back to bed......" Abigail thought as he followed towards the room.

“…… No, thanks though...... But I can't stay here any longer...... I have to ......"

Sirius was still muttering faintly in his mouth as he was pushed back to bed by Olivia, but it was difficult for him to just talk, and he might not be able to get out of this house even if he was allowed to go.

"It's not up to you to decide whether you can stay or not now!" Seeing that he was lying back on the bed, and Olivia was covering him, Abigail said in a tough tone, "Who do you think saved you?" ”

"Abby (Abigail's nickname)!" Olivia shouted out to her sister in anger.

"I'm telling the truth!" Abigail ignored his sister's obstruction and glared at Sirius, "Say! Who are you? Why did it fall at the back door of our house? If necessary, I'll immediately hand you over to the Auror office of the Wizarding Congress for a rigorous review! ”

"Abigail!" Olivia shouted again, "You can't talk like that! It is also possible that this gentleman was simply attacked by thugs! Isn't it? ”

“…… No, this is your sister, right? Sirius said with a faint breath, "She's right, you shouldn't leave an unidentified suspicious man in her home...... It's just that I can't be taken away yet...... I still have things to accomplish......"

"So...... You—You're not a good person, are you? When Abigail heard this, he was startled and dragged his sister away from the bed.

“…… Good guy or bad guy......" Sirius shook his head with a wry smile, "I think it's a 'good guy'...... Right? ”

"You can't be a good person from the moment you still have to hesitate!"

Abigail dragged his sister out of the room with all his might, and then hurried to find his wand. But it was easy to find, but when I finally remembered, the wand seemed to be still in the room.

"This ...... Well, it's okay...... He's hurt so badly, he should be fine......"

The various crimes left by the first generation of Dark Lords in the United States, as well as the traces of dark wizard activities that appear in the American wizarding world from time to time, make wizards who grew up in this land vigilant, and Abigail is naturally one of them.

After all, a simple woman like her sister Olivia has always been a minority.

Abigail plucked up her courage and cheered herself on, and then immediately rushed into the room in front of her sister and headed straight for her desk.

But she seemed to be a step too late, for she had barely run a few steps when Sirius was panting against the wall by her desk, holding Abigail's wand in her hand.

As for his own wand, it had long since fallen in the previous deathmatch and went nowhere.

"This young lady...... Trust me not to hurt you......" Sirius said with a grudge, "but I really should go...... Can't waste any more time......"

He took a few deep breaths of air, but then there was another cough, and the strength he had gathered was now gone. I saw that his body was unstable for a while, and he fell to the corner of the wall with a "bang".

But the wand in his hand was still clenched, and although his eyes were half-drooping, his eyes were still full of determination.

"Don't worry about ......"

Sirius's words weren't addressed to Abigail, but to Olivia behind her.

Although Olivia is very kind and pure, she is not unaware that the strange man in front of her may indeed be a dangerous person. In the current situation, even if she couldn't suppress the worry about the patient in her heart, she didn't make too naïve actions like just now.

Sirius got up again, his sluggish muscles slowing and weak, but he didn't seem to care, and he was bent on getting out of here.

Silently, he pointed the tip of his wand at the two sisters, and with great difficulty but without hesitation, he dragged his wounded body out of the room, through the drawing-room, and down the wooden steps.

“…… By the way," Sirius said softly, pausing on the stairs, "thank you for your room, wise and kind girl. ”

"How do you know it's mine—"

Abigail was halfway through his speech when it suddenly dawned on him that it was his own wand. But in such a chaotic situation, this man can still think about this kind of thing, I really don't know what he is thinking!
