Chapter 131: Reunion
When he really stepped on this big ship, Ning An intuitively felt how big the space above was, the platform was as vast as a square, the jagged cabins were connected to each other, and the interior must be able to lead to the belly of a whale.
The three of them hidden, climbed the ladder one by one, and stepped on the deck, Ning An could hear the little banshee Charlotte inhaling softly beside her
"That's a big deal—" She lowered her voice, but couldn't help but sigh.
"Durmstrang's big ships have a long history, and they've become a signature every time they travel."
Fabian had a rough voice, and he also lowered his tone very low, and it sounded like he liked the ship very much, and Ning An had nothing more to say to these two rough guys.
We're sneaking into other people's territory now, okay? Even if you use the Illusion Charm, you two can't keep a low profile?
Fortunately, for some reason, the Durmstrang students who were supposed to be on this ship were gone, and the deck was so empty that there was not even a ghost to be seen.
"Let's turn around first-" Ning An is here to find someone, seeing that no one is here, he is a little disappointed in his heart, but he is not in a hurry to make a conclusion, search around, this ship is surprisingly big, maybe there will be something to gain.
Fabian became serious when he heard that he was going to do business, he stopped making a sound, and quietly recited a silent spell to himself, he was too heavy, and it was really difficult to walk on the deck without making a sound, Ning An moved his fingers, and his lips squirmed:
"Silent—"
Two mist-like rays of light flashed, faintly reflecting the hidden figures of She/Chu Ning'an and Charlotte, and before it was over, he said softly:
"Whisper."
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding space was quiet, and when Ning An spoke again, the sound was like a mosquito chirping, and he had to be very close to him to hear it clearly, on other people's ships, he should always be careful, using a silent spell and a whispering spell, plus a phantom spell, the three of them were ready, and slowly groped along the dark brown wooden cabin.
They had not gone far to the bow of the boat, and indeed they did not see any figures, and just as they were thinking strangely, they heard a voice in the distance, and the three of them trotted forward a few steps, only to see that the deck was obviously pressed down together, but there was no sound, which was trampled by Fabian.
"Karkaroff, they all went to Hogsmeade...... Why don't you go ......"
It seemed to be a man who spoke, and his voice was quite thick when he heard it, and he had the feeling of a big man in the north, and Ning An had not yet reached the corner of the cabin, so he could only faintly hear some
"That's right...... You used to be at Hogwarts...... I've definitely been to Hogsmeade......
The voice is always the man's, the dialogue dialogue, it should be at least two people, but this has always been self-talking, if it weren't for the schizophrenia of the person who spoke, it was probably the other person who didn't want to deal with him, but the man was also persevering, chattering about something, but also helped Ning An figure out why there was no one on the boat.
It turned out that Durmstrang's students were organized to visit Hogsmeade, it was rare to come to Hogwarts, it was indeed impossible not to see Hogsmeade, Ning An also felt that he was very lucky, if the ship was full of students, it should be very inconvenient to sneak in, but at the same time he was a little worried, the students all went to Hogsmeade, did he want to go to Hogsmeade to find that person?
He stopped at the corner of the cabin in front of him, and then there was the open space at the bow of the boat, and the sound of talking came from there, Ning An hidden, and suddenly stopped at this time, and the people behind him couldn't see it, and the little banshee Charlotte bumped into Ning An at once, making him accidentally stumble half a step, but fortunately, there was no sound due to the effect of the silent spell, but subconsciously raising his head also made him see clearly who the two people standing at the bow were.
"What are you rambling about here? Wickdore? ”
“…… Over the years, the Triwizard Tournament has had a dance party, and maybe it's a bit early to say it...... I'd like to invite you to the ball, Daphne......"
Wickdore? Krum stared at the blonde girl in front of him with a fiery gaze, his expression was very concerned, he was not wearing a thick robe and jacket now, but a simple gray cloth short coat, and the angular muscles on his body were highlighted one by one, just like the tense expression on his face at the moment.
"How many times have I said it, don't bother me, Victor, you know I won't agree."
Daphne shook her hair, her blonde hair shining in the sun, but the girl's face was a little impatient, and she walked far to the forward side of the ship, her hands propped up on the wooden railing, and looked at the windswept pasture under the big ship.
The green grass sloped to one side, like a wave, and the shadows of the castle in the distance, the huge ships in the distance, and the woods were dappled on the ground, mingling with the sunlight, and she couldn't help but take her mind back to the time when she was at Hogwarts.
"Isn't that Wickdore? Krum—"
Fabian lowered his head, and Ning An could feel something huge above his head, presumably the head of a giant.
He had told Fabian some of his plans before, and this time he came back mainly to collect blood, and if he wanted to mix it into Hogwarts, of course, the polyjuice decoction was the most effective, and the target was Wickdor? Krum, mainly because of this guy's identity as a warrior, Ning An is still useful, and among several warriors, it should be the least concerned, Karkarov's guy is worried about the shady all day long, and Voldemort's power is getting stronger day by day, and Karkaroff, who is a Death Eater, also has a sense, which makes him anxious, how can there be so many empty people who really care about Krum.
But now Ning An has no time to take care of Victor, he only has the blonde girl who is holding the railing, and there seems to be a sorrow between her eyebrows, the sun shines down through the clouds, and in an instant it is covered by a stream of dark clouds, and the girl is under the handover of light and extinction, letting the cold wind blow through the beginning.
The ship was not twenty floors, but should have been fifteen stories high, and the wind above it was naturally cold, but it was far from enough compared to the cold wind outside Durmstrang Castle, and Victor walked forward, standing behind the girl, his face was cloudy, and he seemed to hesitate for a long time before he finally spoke:
"You're still thinking about him? That friend of yours at Hogwarts? ”
The expression on Krum's face was a little ugly, the rumors before Daphne's transfer to another school, after he made a special inquiry, he knew a little bit about it, knowing that she had an accident with others at Hogwarts, and there was a boy who seemed to have a good relationship with her, but she had a big accident, as if she had used very vicious black magic, and even an unforgivable spell or something-
Wickdor didn't like the dark arts, and he hated some of them to the extreme, his grandfather was killed by Grindelwald, so he was extremely disgusted with any dark arts or organizations related to Grindelwald, but he went to school in Durmstrang after all, and he didn't have that much resistance to treating the dark arts as ordinary magical studies.
"Shut up." Without hesitation, Daphne scolded, "It's none of your business, Wickdor!" ”
"Yes, people have rejected you, why are you embarrassed to entangle like a kraft candy, such an adult doesn't know how to be ashamed, Charlotte, see clearly, when you see such an uncle in the future, you will have to run away."
There was an unfamiliar voice behind him, and Krum turned around quickly, and Daphne, who was propped up on the railing, also turned around, but the two hands holding the railing were faintly white, it was because he was too hard, and the voice just now sounded ...... It's a little familiar.
Ning An lifted the illusion spell, and Fabian and Charlotte appeared, he was dressed in a black robe, a black hat, and his face was still covered under the brim of his hat, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but Fabian's giant-like figure immediately attracted attention, Victor immediately wanted to take out his wand, but was targeted by a black wand first
"You're too slow to pull out your wand, Mr. Wicktole, so you can be a warrior?"
Ning An's tone was full of banter, somehow, he just suddenly looked at this Bulgarian national team Seeker unpleasantly, even if he didn't watch the Quidditch World Cup game, and he wasn't even a fan of the Irish team.
"When you have the idea of drawing your wand, it means that you are ready for battle, so it is best to cast a spell at the moment of chou/chu wand, and if you hesitate like you, you must have never learned to duel, right? But I've heard that Durmstrang's students learn wizard dueling? ”
Krum's face flushed with humiliation, and his hand, which was only two centimeters away from his wand, continued to stretch forward, nor did it retract, and in any case, all he could be sure of was that the wizard in front of him was hostile to him.
Daphne's aqua blue eyes lit up, and the memories in her mind came flooding back like a spring, on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, in that magical room, Ning An said to herself like a teacher with her hands behind her back:
"The moment the ba/chu wand is the horn for the battle to begin, so it's best to cast the spell the moment you have the mo/dao wand in your hand......"
The scene was vivid, and the familiar words and voices appeared in my ears again, and I couldn't help but feel a little dreamy
"Ning'an ......?"
She almost trembled and lightly opened Zhu/chun, she hadn't met for more than a year, and even the news was pitiful, even if Pani still had a trace of contact with her on the way to escape, but this person seemed to have evaporated from the world.
It wasn't until the World Cup some time ago that there was news of him again, and Daphne secretly hated why she didn't go to it at first, but later saw that the report said that he had summoned the Dark Lord's mark and had become a Death Eater, and she was disappointed.
The Daily Prophet really reported indiscriminately, how could he have been a Death Eater, Carly's death was more or less always related to Voldemort, Daphne knew this best, Ning An could not have become a Death Eater no matter what, so he guessed that this was probably a random report, putting the actions of a certain Death Eater on Ning An.
In the end, there was still no news of him.
After the start of the school year, Karkaroff announced the news of the Triwizard Tournament, and then began to select students who would accompany him to Hogwarts.
Daphne was a top student at Hogwarts, and the two years spent with Ning An gained strong combat ability, and the Dementorship also improved steadily, which made her stand out when she first transferred to Durmstrang, and has maintained excellent results since then.
Coming to Hogwarts, it evokes a lot of memories, but Daphne is a little disheartened, and the autumn wind kills her, making her tired for days, and her heart is full of feelings, which is very complicated.
Today, the students were organized to go sightseeing in Hogsmeade, and she came to the bow of the boat alone to relax, but she didn't expect to be taken by Victor? Krum entangled, this guy has been thinking of ways to invite himself since last year, and Daphne didn't go to the World Cup, and there is no reason why people who are not interested in the game or even hate it.
But now, all this was forgotten, and she trembled and pronounced a name, a name that had tormented her throughout the year, and now that she had grown up a little, the girl understood a little bit what kind of feelings she had in her heart, but the person who wanted to tell this feeling disappeared without a trace, and it is not even known whether she could see it in the future, and the degree of complexity can be imagined.
Silence hung over the bow of the ship, and even Fabian's expression became a little strange when Daphne called out the name.
Oh, it turned out to be acquaintance—he had a lot of experience in life, and he took a step back at this moment, causing Charlotte the Banshee to look back strangely, as if she didn't understand why he did it.
Children don't understand, this kind of thing, of course, is a little far away, so as not to be affected.
Fabian muttered in his heart, but in fact, he had been paying attention to Krum, if this guy made any moves while Ning An was distracted, the giant dared to ensure that he would move faster than this hairy child.
"Ning'an?"
Wickdore? Krum chewed on the name in his heart, and vaguely had the impression that it seemed to be the friend of Daphne who used to be at Hogwarts, he heard from others, that he had caused a big accident at Hogwarts back then? But isn't he wanted by the British Ministry of Magic now? Why did you dare to infiltrate Hogwarts?
Could it really be the Death Eaters!? Thinking of Ning An's relationship with the Dark Lord mentioned in the newspaper, Krum's heart was cold, even colder than Durmstrang's weather.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the figure of the person in front of him, he always felt a little familiar, black robe, slightly slender, and didn't look very old, yes, he and Daphne were classmates, and they should be the same age, so they were younger than themselves?
Suddenly, as if a lightning bolt crossed his mind, bringing Krum back to the stormy North Sea that night, the wizard who fought with the sea monster seemed to be dressed like this, and the silhouette of his body was vaguely similar.
No—it can't be—Krum desperately drove this thought away, how could that man be Ning'an? It must be a very powerful wizard, maybe a famous wizard from another country, but it shouldn't be this guy in front of you who is smaller than yourself.
But the more he thought about it, in his memory, the figure that evoked one after another powerful spells in the thunder coincided with Ning An, and finally the stitching made Krum's brain stagnate.
This...... How is that possible......
