Chapter 61: Chopping the Grass
Aberforth blew his long gray beard, waited with wide eyes as he waited for the pumpty and fat wizard, and said with some anger:
"Shut up, Mondongues, you big mouth, walk around, I won't let you in here-" he said, turning impatiently, glancing sideways at Mondongues? Fletch glanced at it and said:
"Since it's Dumbledore's account, you'd better go to Hogwarts and find him quickly." After saying that, he flashed back to the bar, and the broken wooden door was slammed shut.
Montungus stomped hard on the ground with his thick, short looped legs, and muttered in great dissatisfaction, "Damn it, damn Aberforth—you look down on me like that......"
Even though he was furious, Aberforth wouldn't let him enter the pig's head bar, and Fletch couldn't help it, so he could only curse and put the glass bottle containing the silver liquid back into his arms and staggered down the avenue.
Looking at his swaying figure, I am afraid that he had already drunk before coming to Hogsmeade, so he said that he could not afford to go to three broomsticks, I am afraid it is true.
However, Ning An was not in the mood to pay attention to these at this time, and the alarm had already sounded in his heart.
Leicestershire?
What did Dumbledore send Mundungus to Leicestershire? Montungus was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and it wasn't until Aberforth called out his name that Ning An remembered.
The Walz foothills are in Leicestershire, and the Ralph mansion where Voldemort spent some time in his youth is also in Leicestershire, and it is there that Caridora died!
Dumbledore's intention to let Fletsch go to Leicestershire was obvious, it must be to investigate something related to Calydora, and more importantly, Ning An had said that he had traveled to Leicestershire after leaving Shafiq's house during the interrogation of Delix.
So who did Dumbledore target when he sent people to Leicestershire to investigate? The answer is obvious! What's more, Fletch took out the glass bottle.
"Muggle memories?" Ning Anxin wondered if Fletch must have found something in Muggle's memory, so he dared to conclude that this would be useful to Dumbledore.
The night was getting deep, the cold wind was howling, and a raven stood on the sign of the pig's head bar, his pitch-black feathers made his body almost merge with the night, and if you looked closely, you could find a fierce light in the smart eyes.
Whatever that memory was about, Ning An didn't want it to fall into Dumbledore's hands.
He didn't think that Dumbledore would be on his side and then spend his energy helping him resurrect Calidora, he would only become an obstacle to Ning'an, and a very powerful one.
With a burst of wings, Ning An flew up in the cold wind, followed by the somewhat staggering Mundungus? Fletch.
The stocky wizard came to the avenue of Hogsmeade, and in the darkness of the night, there was no one to be seen on the road, and Mundungus was still muttering something indignantly.
But the next moment, he reached into his arms and took out his wand.
Ning An secretly screamed badly, it seemed that Mundungus was planning to apparilate here and manifest directly outside Hogwarts.
As soon as his heart tightened, Ning An suddenly accelerated, his body rushed over like a sharp arrow, and at the same time opened his mouth, wanting to shout, but let out the chirping of a crow:
"Dumb—ah—"
Mundungus subconsciously felt something approaching behind him, and then a desolate and hoarse birdsong sounded, which made his hand move slowly, and instinctively glanced back.
A dark shadow swept past his eyes, and the sound of the wind swept away Fletch's few stray turmeric hairs towards the back of his head, and in an instant, he felt empty in his hands.
When he opened the eyes that had been closed again, he saw a sturdy raven, with the wand he had just taken out in its mouth, and flapping its wings in the air as if mocking.
Mundungus was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, a raven snatched his wand?!
Is it really unlucky to stuff your teeth when you drink cold water, you don't drink butterbeer, you are taunted by Aberforth, and now even a little crow comes to bully yourself?
He hated it to the roots, lifted the hem of his tattered leather jacket like a flower, and stomped on the ground with his stubby calves in his boots, venting his anger.
"Come back to me—you damn stinky bird!"
He had to run and chase after him, and Mundungus was so angry that he thought angrily, when he caught this crow, he must put a curse on him!
Although his size was not too big, Ning An felt that flying with this wand in his mouth was still very easy, and he was even afraid that flying too fast would cause Mundungus to catch up with him, so he deliberately reduced his speed.
Sometimes they will fly to the wooden stakes on the side of the road and pretend to rest.
Montungus was even more angry at this, and he chased after him in a bit of a rage, and several times he was about to catch the damn stinky bird, but it flew away by a fraction of a second.
"Damn, damn stinky bird, don't let me catch you, I've changed my mind, and when I catch you, I'll roast you and eat you." Against the colder and colder wind, Mondongues's nose turned purple, and his face turned blue, and he didn't know whether he was freezing or angry.
A man and a bird chased like this, but in a moment they left Hogsmeade Village and came to a path outside the village, Ning An saw that it was almost there, so he slowly landed on a tree, gently lowered his wand from his mouth, and sandwiched it between a few branches.
Mundungus was already out of breath, he saw Ning An stop on the tree, his face showed joy, he breathed a sigh of relief and came to the bottom of the tree to stare at Ning An on the tree, and muttered indistinctly:
"Hey, you damn bird, you want to use my wand to build a nest? …… Wait until I climb up......" With his hands on his knees and a little breathlessness, Mundungus was ready to climb up and take off his wand.
The tree wasn't very tall, and he figured he would be able to reach the branch where his wand would be able to climb it a little bit, and hold on to the trunk.
However, before he could act, the raven had already flown down from the book, his wings fluttered lightly, and landed in front of him, a pair of small dark eyes, staring at him coldly.
Montungus couldn't help but pout, ravens had a high IQ, and he also knew that a long, long time ago, wizards preferred to raise ravens to owls.
But the eyes in front of him were no longer animal feelings, they were clearly another wizard staring at him.
Before he could react, the raven spread its wings and covered its head, and in an instant there was an indescribable change in Montungus, and the next second, a boy in the black wizarding robes of Hogwarts appeared in front of him.
The boy was dressed in a black robe, with an oriental face, looking very delicate, with a beautiful silver earring in his left ear, and a wand with a black body and a patterned tail in his hand, and his face was expressionless, looking at him with a cold expression.
The sudden change made Mundungus a little unable to think, and he subconsciously rubbed his head, "What's going on?" Damn, did I drink too much? Leicestershire's wine is so strong, aha......"
But when he rubbed his eyes repeatedly, but did not change the scene in front of him, Mundungus realized that something might be wrong.
"Ahh Animagus? ”
Trembling, he asked in a tone that he couldn't even believe.
"That's right, Mundungus."
The boy spoke, his voice cold, without the slightest emotion, which made Mondigus's bad premonition stronger and stronger.
A boy who doesn't look big can actually train into Animagus! And he deliberately lured himself to no man's land outside of Hogsmeade, which was a terrible conspiracy no matter how you thought about it.
With a heartbeat, Mundungus suddenly remembered the boy Dumbledore had commissioned him to investigate! Around the age of twelve or thirteen, an Oriental, with outstanding talent! Isn't that exactly ......?!
The soles of his feet went limp, and he almost fell to his knees, Mondongues? Fletch felt that this time it was probably a disaster, and he secretly hated himself for talking too much, and he was quite smart, and at this time he had already thought that what he had just boasted about to Aberforth might be heard by the boy in front of him who knew Animagus.
The reason why he lured himself here must have been to ask for the information he had obtained!
Seeing Ning An slowly raise his arm and raise the delicate ebony wand, the chill rose from the tail vertebrae of Mundungus and went straight to the back of his neck, that was the purest intuition, the young wizard in front of him was afraid that he would kill him in the next moment.
The fear of death suddenly took over Mundungus's heart, he had never been so close to death, he panicked, what should he do? With the wand in his hand gone, he couldn't apparition, and Mundungus clenched his fists, the tips of his fingers losing their color from too much force.
"No...... Don't," he struggled to Ning An and said, "I'...... I can tell you what I've investigated—please, don't—"
"No—" Interrupting Mundungus mercilessly, Ning An sneered at the terrified wizard.
"I'm sure I can figure out what you know, on my own terms."
His eyes widened, and the pair of swollen and bloodshot eyeballs seemed to be about to burst open, and Mundungus's legs trembled, waving his hand beggingly towards Ning An.
However, he was greeted only by a cold voice:
"-Dig into the bones!" A red light struck the wizard, and he fell to his knees in an instant, his hands on his chest, and he rolled around.
"Ahhh
Ning An was unmoved, and pointed harder at Montungus, who seemed to have been attacked by more severe pain, his body began to twitch, and his eyelids rolled up, revealing the frightening whites of his eyes, as if he was about to faint.
Raising his wand and calmly looking at Montungus, who was motionless and lying on the ground like a dead man, Ning An shouted softly:
"Out of body."
