The 205th Aftermath
After Harry escaped into the night sky on a firebolt, the excitement of Privet Road in Little Huijin District was not over tonight, the street lamps were extinguished one after another, and the streets became pitch black, and it was almost impossible to reach out to the five fingers.
There was a piercing explosion in front of the open door of the Dursleys' house, "Thorn-"
"Oh my god, damn it, something must have happened—" Arthur? Weasley didn't bother to put away his wand and rushed into the house.
"Wait, Arthur—" Lupin said slightly hoarsely, tugging at his cuffs, and a second, deeper voice rang out
"Let me go first—" The voice said gruffly, walking heavily towards the main entrance of the Dursleys, Arthur? Weasley followed closely behind him.
"Alright, Moody—" Lupin sighed as he suppressed his voice, "Tonks, you stay here and watch out—Kingsley, let's go in......"
"Why should I stay here!" The violet-haired woman named Tonks screamed all over the place, "I think I can be the first to go in, you know I can turn into a more inconspicuous Muggle or something......"
However, Lupin and Kingsley clearly had no intention of joking, and they held their wands flat and carefully walked along Arthur? Weasley walked the route into the house, the living room and kitchen lights were on, the incandescent light bulbs were swaying brightly above everyone's heads, Moody stood in the kitchen and carefully surveyed the surroundings, and when he saw Lupin and Kingsley, he gestured to silence.
Several people fainted on the ground.
"Barnes—" Arthur threw himself down in front of the robed wizard who had fallen to the ground, his face full of panic.
"There's something big going on—" Lupin muttered to himself, trotting up the stairs to the second floor, where Moody gestured to Kingsleyby, who had come later, for him to stay here, and caught up with Lupin, the two of them leaning against the wall, raising their wands and quietly walking upstairs.
After a while, the two of them shook their heads and walked down from the second floor with a dejected expression, the frustration on Lupin's face was palpable, and Moody was clearly trying to cheer up.
The Dursleys were helped to the couch in the living room by someone and piled together as if they were asleep. Weasley pushed him to the dining table and stools for him to lie on the table, Tonks had been inspecting the whole house for a week, and now he was in the living room.
"We're in big trouble now—" Lupin looked tired and haggard, rubbing the growing gray hair on his head, and gently sat down at the table with his patched old robes.
"Harry isn't upstairs, we must find him as soon as possible, Arthur, your colleague-"
"What do you think is the chance that he was knocked unconscious by Harry? There's no way the Death Eaters can find it, and the Ministry of Magic has detected that Ha has used a slug charm, a Patronus charm, and a stun charm—"
"He must be stopped from speaking out now, there is still room for mediation in the use of magic outside of school, but if you attack the Ministry of Magic staff—" Lupin looked directly at Arthur.
"Barnes is in the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, and I have some friendships, I can try to convince him, but I have to find Harry as soon as possible."
Moody twisted his prosthetic leg and "kicked" on the floor, his gray hair was long, long, his nose was missing a large piece of flesh, and his two asymmetrical eyes looked rather intimidating, and he retrieved his magic eye, which was now flashing an electric blue, flipping up and down, as if looking at the roof of the house.
"We don't have time to chat here—" Moody said in a dismissive voice, looking around the room and arranging it at once
"Arthur, you'd better ask Barnes what's going on, maybe he'll know where Harry has gone, and the rest of us go find Emmeline?" Vance and Feige—"
"Ah, I hope nothing happens to them—" Tonks exclaimed suddenly.
"They didn't complete the task Dumbledore, so I think they must have been attacked, I know Emmeline she's a guy in charge, if she dies-"
"Well, no one is going to die, and there are obviously no Death Eaters here." Kingsley? Shacklele interrupted Moody, and both Tonks and Lupin looked uncomfortable, and no one wanted anything to happen to their companions.
"All right, let's go—let's see," said Lupin, picking up his wand, and walking first towards the door, and the men ran in turn toward Mrs. Figg's dwelling, a few blocks away from the Dursleys house.
****
Ten minutes later, Mrs. Figg was helped by Tonks to a bright yellow hardwood chair, and several cats gathered around her, rubbing back and forth on her lap
"Oh, Kick, Maomao, Cher, you're all right, oh that's great......"
"What the hell is going on? Who attacked you? Moody asked the demure witch in front of him in a gruff voice, with her long, wavy hair, and then put on her wizard's hat and dark green shawl again.
"I don't know...... I was secretly protecting Harry......"
"Harry?" Lupin asked nervously.
"Oh, it's broken, nothing will happen to him, will it?" Emmeline? Vance's face was full of self-reproach and panic, and he lost his former elegant appearance.
"I followed him, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood at the time—" She hurriedly continued to say what she knew.
"I'm in a terrible mood, I guess I'm arguing with that stupid couple again, as they often do—" added Mrs. Figg, her hand constantly slapping the cat into her arms, as if she was still apprehensive of what had happened.
"And then?" Tonks asked in surprise, as both Kingsley and Moody looked at Emmeline with serious expressions, while being wary of what was going on outside the house.
"And then I passed out, someone must have snuck up on me-"
"Somebody snuck up on me, too- oh my God, I was wondering why Emmeline hadn't been out for so long and hadn't come back, and was about to go out to have a look, when I was -"
"Alright, somebody needs to inform Dumbledore a-"
As Moody spoke, Kingsley suddenly raised his hand, and everyone in the room held their breath for a moment and quietly clenched their wands. Shakel added:
"It's okay, it's Arthur—"
Outside the house, Arthur? Weasley hurried past
"How-" He met Emmeline? Vance and Mrs. Feige seemed relieved, and hurried up to say hello
"Don't talk about that yet, is there any news of Harry?"
Arthur swallowed and foamed, and Lupin stopped Moody's questioning, handed him a glass of water, and motioned for him to catch his breath first, but Arthur held the glass in his hand and continued:
"Barnes said—he was attacked, and I don't know who stunned him with a stun charm—"
"I think Harry did it, wow, that's cool!" Tonks shook his fist excitedly.
"Nymphadora!" Lupin turned around and scolded.
"Remus, I said don't call me Nymphadora," she shuddered, her hair color changing from violet to dark blue for a moment, "if your stupid/gua mom calls you Nymphadora, you're going to be uncomfortable too." ”
"Enough!" Moody yelled to end the argument, "Arthur and Kingsley go back to the Ministry of Magic first, Lupin and Tonks, you go and report to Dumbledore-"
"What about you?" Tonks asked.
"I'm going to chase Harry, he shouldn't have gone far, no matter what, he's very dangerous now, if I use magic again, whether it is found by the Ministry of Magic or the Death Eaters, it will be a serious problem, I want to find this kid quickly-"
"Alright, let's act as soon as possible-"
After several people arranged the task, soon there were several piercing sharp explosions, and the privet road, which had been noisy all night, finally returned to calm, Mrs. Feige quietly closed the door, looked at the empty street outside the window, and couldn't help but shiver in her heart, she had a feeling that the person who had attacked her before seemed to have never left, and secretly had always had a pair of eyes watching her.
On the other hand, Durmstrang in the distance in Northern Europe welcomed a new guest, and when Ning An saw Charlotte in the castle for a long time, he was surprised that he almost knocked over the teacup in his hand.
"Why are you here?" He got up from behind his desk, although it was already night, but the sky outside was still as bright as day, and there were a large pile of unprocessed documents on the desktop, during this time, Ning An had gradually become accustomed to putting himself in a busy work, and the polar day happened to become his natural desk lamp.
"Brother Ning'an——!" Charlotte jumped and ran over, and rushed into Ning An's arms at once, the little banshee had indeed not seen Ning An for a long time, and she missed it very much.
"Thank you, Jung—" Ning An said to the wizard standing behind, the German Ministry of Magic was busy, and it would be quite a task for Jung to personally bring Charlotte to Durmstrang.
"It's nothing, master—" He bowed, then straightened up, smiling at the little banshee who was curiously circling around Ning An's wide desk.
"Charlotte had been clamoring to see you at Hohenzollern Manor, and when Eric came home this summer and brought up the Hogwarts incident, Charlotte remembered that you had said that you were going to let her go to Durmstrang this year—"
Ning An rubbed her head, and suddenly thought to herself, Charlotte will be ten years old in a few days, just at the age of admission, she was originally a hybrid of wizards and banshees, and it is really difficult to say whether she can enter school, but the obstacle of being the principal naturally does not exist, and Ning An seems to have indeed promised to let Charlotte come to Durmstrang to go to school.
"Yes, Brother Ning An also said that he would buy a wand for Charlotte-" The little banshee ran around the office, and then threw herself on Ning An's legs, grabbing his shirt like a pendant and shaking it, and after a long time, she became a lot naughty.
However, Ning An was happy to see that Charlotte's magic was stable, and there was no sign of going violent, and it seemed that she had a good rest in Hohenzollern Manor during this time.
"Okay, Brother Ning An will take you to buy a wand-" Ning An reached out and ripped Charlotte off her clothes, holding her arm up, although Ning An herself is not very old, but during this time, affected by life and work, she has also developed a calm and convincing momentum, and it seems that her age has suddenly become unreal.
"In the meantime, let Charlotte live with me." Ning An put the banshee down, and the high lift just now made her giggle and laugh non-stop.
"Of course - as you are told." Jung bowed and did not have the slightest opinion on this.
"But you have to stay tonight, and meet Linus and Nils at Durmstrand's feast—"
"Leo Hard often says, haha, you can rest assured that Mr. Zhang has no complaints about you robbing his son, and often expresses his happiness and praises them for finding a good job."
"Both of them are excellent wizards, and they can get a good job even in the Ministry of Magic," Ning An conjured two small glasses full of wine at some point and handed one to Jung, who was not polite and took a sip of it.
"I hope Eric can graduate soon, and when the time comes, whether it's the Ministry of Magic or me, I think he'll have a lot to do—"
"Thank you so much—" Jung bowed again excitedly.
The two talked back and forth, Charlotte posed/nong the strange objects in the office, and the moving bird-shaped silverware was chased by her and flew all over the house, Ning An didn't pay attention to it, the scary things in this room were all locked, or hidden in glass cases, Charlotte couldn't touch them, and the rest was okay for her to play.
"Do you really want to buy Miss Charlotte a wand......?"
Jung inadvertently and naturally said a problem, he knew that Charlotte was a hybrid of a banshee and a human, and that the law "On the Prohibition of Non-Wizard Creatures from Possessing Wands" did not clearly define the offspring of other creatures that were mixed with wizards, which became an ambiguous matter, and in fact there were very few exceptions to interracial unions.
"Rest assured, few people will know that Charlotte is half-blood, except for a limited number of people, and besides, she doesn't look like it, does she?"
Brother Rong nodded, that's right, Charlotte looked at the pink / nen cute, where did she look like an old witch with warts on her face, even if she said it now, I'm afraid no one would believe that she had banshee blood.
"So who are you going to buy ......?"
"Ollivander-" Ning An blurted out, and then laughed, his own wand was bought there, so he was particularly impressed, glanced down at Charlotte, and then said to Jung lightly:
"I'm going to take her to Diagon Alley, which has a lot of stuff, and you know- I'm going to the British Ministry of Magic in August, about that inquiry—"
"Ah, I know about it, Leohard has spoken to Fudge about it, and I'm sure it's not going to be a negative impact on you, but it's a great opportunity for positive publicity!"
"Haha, I heard that Leohard didn't give Fudge less gold? Have you recently unearthed the Irish leprechaun's mines? ”
"Hahaha, you're really joking, it's not all the plans you made at the beginning, whether it's the broomstick company, or the promotion of the German-made crucible brand, it has achieved certain results, plus the participation of the Brin family and the Grosso family, and recently there has been more dragon egg and dragon taming business-"
The more Jung spoke, the more his face bloomed, "There are more and more affairs in the ministry, and I am almost too busy—"
