Chapter 21: The Portkey

A young witch with violet hair sat by the pool at the entrance of a building, yawning boredly.

There was still a moment before she left to return to the UK, but as a little minion, she had already arrived here an hour early to deal with possible emergencies.

Although the Aurors looked at the scenery, there were no holidays, and it was impossible to leave work on time, so they had to rush to where there was danger.

But Tonks doesn't regret choosing this profession, it's just that she's so bored now, just come with anyone to accompany her sister to relieve her boredom.

The witch picks up small pebbles from the ground, throws them into the pool, and listens to the sound of the water......

Footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, and Tonks cheered up, looked up, and saw two wizards walking slowly.

One old and one young.

Each carrying a suitcase.

Although it looks unremarkable, just those two boxes are enough for Tonks' eyelids to jump.

She hurriedly jumped up from the ground and trotted up to meet her.

"Hello! Mr. Scamander! Mr. Scrimgeour is handing over the prisoners, and you can rest in the lobby for a while...... This side please. ”

Tonks was like a waiter, leading the way towards a building, and several people stepped up the steps, and another Auror stepped out, respectfully welcoming Newt in.

Rove swaggered after Newt and was about to enter the building to rest, when a white hand grabbed him by the collar and dragged him backwards.

"What are you doing...... Oops~ Tonks! Let go! My clothes! Don't......"

The young witch looked very thin, and she couldn't tell the difference between her chest and back, but she didn't expect her strength to be quite strong, so she dragged Rove like a chick and walked towards the pool.

Tonks let go of his collar, and Rove touched his neck and said, "Why did you pull me over?" ”

"Accompany my sister to relieve my boredom." Tonks sat down by the pool, nodded his chin and said, "Sit down, the air is fresh outside, and you can still watch the night view." ”

"Then I'd rather sit on the couch in the house and eat pastries." Rove was disgusted, but sat down next to Tonks.

"I have snacks too." Tonks pulled a handful of melon seeds out of his pocket and handed them over.

Rove grabbed the melon seeds from the witch's hand, and he laughed, "You have this thing in your Auror pocket every day?" ”

"I'm an apprentice Auror, can't I?" Tonks knocks up the melon seeds.

"Will this be temporary? That's not what you said when you lied to me on the train. ”

Rove sighed, "You're really a flexible class attribute. ”

Tonks didn't say anything, but just said with a look of adoration:

"Your grandfather is so majestic, that was my captain just now, your grandfather just casually 'um', and the captain didn't dare to speak...... Cold, it's cool!

Worthy of being a distinguished Hufflepuff alumnus. ”

"My grandfather is afraid of society." Rove scratched his head and said, "It's not that he doesn't want to say more, he just can't say it." ”

“……”

"Why are you going back to England?" Tonks inquired curiously, "Isn't your summer vacation not over yet?" ”

"Attend a funeral." Rove was succinct.

"Could it be ......" Tonks lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Nicol Lemay's funeral, right?" ”

"How do you know?" Rove was really surprised this time, he didn't expect Tonks to be so well-informed.

"A group of wizards with an average age of more than 100 years, or the most famous group in the world, suddenly appeared in the British ......," Tonks said with a roll of his eyes:

"No matter how sluggish the Auror office is, it's time to find out."

"Is the average age that old?" Rove was a little stunned and said, "Then aren't I seriously dragging my feet?" ”

"Don't talk about you, it's just that your grandfather is dragging his feet, and he belongs to a slightly younger wizard in it." Tonks sighed.

“……”

"Okay, you kid can participate in a funeral of this level." Tonks poked the boy in the elbow and said eagerly, "Can you bring relatives?" ”

"Relatives...... Who is it? ”

"Me!" Tonks smiled and said, "I can be your long-lost half-sister...... As long as you can take me, your own sister can do it. ”

“……”

"Probably not." Rove thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I have an invitation letter for a long time, and I didn't follow my grandfather to get in." ”

"So the rumors are true...... Tonks pinched his chin and looked at the boy, "You really stopped Quirrell and saved the Philosopher's Stone, otherwise you wouldn't have given you an invitation." ”

"Even if it were true, it wouldn't give me the Merlin Medal."

Rove picked up a pebble and floated it, and after making four or five ripples in the pool, it slammed into the inner wall of the tile.

"How old are you, just thinking about the Merlin Medal." Tonks continued to knock on the melon seeds, pouting and saying:

"By the time you get the medal, Scrimgeour will probably be dead, and I will definitely be the head of the Auror Office by then."

Rove suddenly turned his head and said loudly, "Mr. Scrimgeour...... Long time no see. ”

Tonks' scalp was a little numb, and her little hands trembled in fright, and the melon seeds fell to the ground, and she turned her head to look, but there was no one.

Rove laughed heartily.

Tonks was disgraced, she had to keep a straight face, and her purple hair turned to grandma gray.

Seeing that Tonks's face was not good and seemed to be about to have a seizure, Rove had to hold back a smile and change the subject: "Why don't you set off yet?" ”

"Director Scrimgeour is still handing over the prisoners." Tonks picked up the seeds on the ground again.

"How do we get back to the UK? This time it won't be on the Orient Express, right? ”

"No, it's a portkey for security reasons." Tonks put all the melon seeds he picked up in Rove's hand, and she smiled evilly:

"The target is Azkaban."

“……”

"Ha, lie to you, don't be nervous." Tonks patted the boy on the shoulder and smiled:

"Rove, you have a chance to go in later...... Or I'll send you in with my own hands! ”

Rove rolled his eyes and said, "Why didn't you come to Romania with a portkey before?" It almost caused the prisoner to escape. ”

"It is a very troublesome thing to use the door key across borders, and you need to communicate with the two ministries of magic in advance." Tonks explained. "There are all kinds of procedures and approvals, and it may not be possible to come down in half a month."

Just then, a group of wizards came out of the building, led by Director Scrimgeour.

Tonks stood up and pulled Rove up by the way, she patted the dust off her ass and said, "Let's go, go home." ”

All the wizards walked towards Scrimgeur, and in front of him stood a statue of a Romanian fiery dragon with rounded rhodolite eyes that sparkled on a face of black marble.

Everyone gathered in a tight circle and put their arms on the statue.
