Chapter Fifty-Eight: Uncle
Norlin slept soundly in one breath, but luckily there were no other classes except for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the morning.
When he woke up, it was dark outside the window, and the stars were slowly peeking out of the night.
"Smith?"
Norlin shouted loudly, getting no response, not knowing where to run again.
A pang of hunger came through his stomach, and Norlin realized that he hadn't eaten for a day.
Arriving in the auditorium, Norlin looked left and right, but did not see Smith. Instead, Elena sat at the end of the Slytherin table, unhurriedly eating a pizza, her eyes staring ahead, not knowing what to think.
Norlin walked straight over and sat down, tore off a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth, and said indistinctly:
"I've rarely seen you lately."
Elena glanced at him and sat down next to him. She swallowed the food in her mouth and asked:
"You went to our common room yesterday?"
"Yes, Mr. Headmaster's wise decision."
Norlin replied, and a plate of fragrant fried chicken quickly appeared on the table.
"I didn't see you last night, only your friend, it's Ruth Ryan, right?"
"Ruth is very interested in you, and asks me about you all day long."
Elena smiled and raised her eyebrows, "So, you heard that voice too?" ”
"It's hard not to hear it."
Norlin glanced at the side of her face, slightly meaningful, and pointed to a small scrap of food on her face.
There weren't many people in the auditorium, except for the occasional ghost or two that popped up from the long table, and Norlin greeted them with a smile.
The two were chatting casually, and suddenly there was a noise outside the window, and Hua Luo flapped his wings and flew quickly, holding a note in his mouth.
Norin's face changed, and normally Hua Luo would not deliver letters at night, unless there was something particularly urgent.
Sure enough, he took the note, and after just one glance, his heart stirred.
There was only one sentence on the paper: Liana Yaxley Davis had recently been seen in the Forbidden Forest.
The gold gallons given to Mundungus were not given in vain...... Norin sighed excitedly in his heart, it was a surprise that the notorious thief was able to maintain his professionalism.
Elena consciously did not squint, and did not inquire about the contents of the note. She looked at Norin's smiling face, and the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc, and asked:
"Rich?"
"What's it to get rich?"
Norin laughed and couldn't help but rub her long silky hair, "I'll go first." ”
Elena wrinkled her nose and looked at Norin's figure walking away, a light smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemnity that did not match her age at all.
When he arrived at Professor Krel's office, he was mixing wine. Norlin knocked on the door, and the door opened automatically.
"You've slept long enough."
Professor Krell smiled, shook the glass in his hand, and drank it down.
"Thank you, Professor."
Nolin said it was rare to meet a professor who allowed students to go back to sleep during class.
Professor Krell squinted in intoxication, and sighed for a while:
"It's still brandy, and Muggle wine is still good. It's a pity that you're still young, otherwise you can feel it together. ”
Norlin was noncommittal. In his previous life, he was not keen on drinking, and of course, not being able to drink was a very important factor. Not to mention being underage now.
"Let's get down to business, then."
The confusion in Professor Krell's eyes cleared, and he looked directly at Nolin, "Of course, before I do that, I want you to change my name." For example......"
"Uncle."
There was a silent silence in the room.
Norin, who had predicted it a long time ago, couldn't help but shrink his pupils and repeated:
"Uncle?"
"Little one, don't pretend to me."
Professor Krell looked at him with a smirk, "I'll recognize you in Hogsmeade." I really didn't expect you to show up in Hogsmeade in your first year, and there was some accident. If something happens to you, I'm doomed. ”
"After giving you the permit, I was thinking about how long you would endure before I came to ask me, but I didn't expect you kid to be so enduring."
Norlin touched his nose. Professor Krell has the same surname as his mother, and fools know that they don't have an ordinary relationship. He didn't take the initiative to ask, just because he was afraid.
I am afraid that Professor Krell will also use the reason that he is too young to prevaricate him.
Professor Krell said faintly:
"Any idea why you were at the Leaky Cauldron before school started?"
I thought it was a coincidence, but now Norin has some understanding.
"I want to see how many excellent genes my sister's children, my nephew, who has never been masked, have inherited from my sister."
Speaking of this, Professor Krell paused slightly, revealing a hint of heartfelt pride:
"Now it seems that you are even better than your mother was when she was in school."
Norlin blushed a little from the praise and didn't answer.
"Your mother is a witch with great talent. My strength is not bad, but it won't last long in her hands. ”
Professor Krell's fluttering words stirred up a wave in Nolin's heart.
"When I was a child, my sister's light overshadowed my peers, and I was no exception. She is the brightest jewel of the Yaxley family, and even the mysterious people are afraid of her. ”
"Speaking of which, that little girl in Slytherin has a bit of a shadow of her. I was really taken aback by that duel of yours. ”
Professor Krell looked at Norlin with a "it's nice to be young" look, and Norlin felt that the topic was a little crooked, and asked:
"Why did my mom stay with my dad in the Muggle world for more than ten years? Listen to Mondongues, it seems to be with Volt...... What's the relationship with the mystery man? ”
Professor Krell was silent for a moment, an unpredictable look in his eyes. He looked out the window and said into the dark night:
"You may not know that more than ten years ago, it wasn't just the Mystic and his Death Eaters who were the only ones."
Norlin swallowed. Of course I don't know! They are all hidden, where do I know?
"The few people I met at Hogsmeade, including the one who attacked me at Christmasade, belonged to another dark organization. The wizarding world calls it the Dark Cult. The rumored dead Cook Alger is also a Dark Cultist. ”
Nolin's mouth opened wide in surprise, and Professor Krell nodded affirmatively:
"It's my predecessor in this profession, last year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Professor Dumbledore had given him a chance, but he had escaped the previous year. Professor Dumbledore didn't want to make a noise, so he announced that he had died in an accident. ”
"I was ...... Some mistakes were made. Speaking of this, Professor Krel's voice was a little bitter, "Some mistakes that are hard to forgive. My sister made a deal with the mystery man with one thing, and when she faced the Ministry of Magic, she took all my faults on it. ”
