Chapter 1108 Intertwined Lies

? Facts have proved that escaping also requires experience. A place with a relatively dense flow of people like the Leaky Cauldron is obviously not suitable for a temporary hiding place.

Of course, it may also be because the raid on the underground church happened so suddenly, and then it fell into a scuffle in the blink of an eye, so that Pan Xi hasn't really realized what happened to him until now.

And if she could calm down and think about it carefully, she would find that the plan that came from Maca and was implemented by Malfoy and his son was basically a series of pressure on Martin.

What Maca wants are two results - the first is to force Martin to go to Hai Erbo for help, and the second is to provide Panxi, a spy, with the convenience of going deep into the opponent's organization.

As long as Martin is cornered, it will be easier for Pansy to take the opportunity to get closer to him. After all, friendships in times of adversity not only tend to develop extremely quickly, but they can also be quite strong.

For Pansy, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to lay a solid foundation for the completion of the task.

It's a pity that Pansy, one of the insiders, didn't have time to think so much, so that she couldn't even foresee the Ministry of Magic search that would inevitably occur afterwards.

Not to mention, she doesn't even know where that Martin has gone now.

...The Auror office of the Ministry of Magic, please cooperate to show the wand, we need to conduct a temporary inspection and compare it with the registration file.

The leader of the three Aurors outside the door couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw Iluli, but he didn't say anything.

And the other two Aurors beside him, one was holding a thick booklet, and the other was responsible for showing his Ministry of Magic ID.

Pansy was actually a little nervous about the three Aurors who knocked on the door. But fortunately, having seen many scenes since she was a child, she can at least maintain her superficial composure.

Oh, sorry! Three gentlemen... my wand just broke. You see, I'm going to Ollivander early tomorrow morning to get a new wand!

As she spoke, she took out the magic wand that Iluli had just broken, and handed it to the other party in a natural manner.

The leading Auror reached out to take it and looked at it a few times.

It can be seen that Iluli was indeed quite decisive at the time, and now the wand that was originally intact is only barely connected by a few wood threads, as if it would be completely broken in two with a little force.

Ok,

It looks like a well-maintained wand, but unfortunately... The Auror muttered casually, and then looked at Iluli who was standing next to Pansy, Miss, please show me The wand—couldn't have just broken, had it?

Ah, no, no. Iluli shook her head hastily, and then took off the hood on her head, Sir, I think you can understand... I'm just a servant, and I don't need to wear a wand.

Well?

The Auror thought Iluli was just a child at first!

Fairy... no, is it a half-blooded elf? Okay, okay...

According to the current law, goblins are not allowed to hold magic wands, but there are no specific regulations for mixed descendants like Iluli.

So generally speaking, she can either wear a wand or not, of course, everything depends on her actual identity and personal circumstances.

After seeing some of the characteristics of Iluli's goblin, the Auror seemed to understand her excuse. However, it is clear that things will not be so simple.

I saw him casually handing the wand to the colleague holding a booklet beside him, and then said again:

Then, what's going on with the two of you staying up so late?

Yes, although Pansy and Iluli's rhetoric is passable, it is already late at night. Not only did the two of them not sleep in the room, but they were also dressed neatly, which did look suspicious.

We just had a drink downstairs and were about to go to bed! Then we heard the sound of three people coming up to check— Pansy quickly explained, I ordered a glass of Belgian raspberry beer at Carl's before, he must have If you still remember, you will find out after asking!”

Having said that, she thought to herself, and then added:

By the way, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Pansy Parkinson, and I'm in the sixth grade at Hogwarts this year-I'm in a hurry to buy a wand today. If necessary, Professor McLean can help me testify!

Oh, a Hogwarts student?

Today, Maca's name has indeed become a very useful signboard. Even if it's just a few words about nothing, it will naturally give people a sense of trustworthiness at critical moments, especially in front of people from the Ministry of Magic.

In contrast, the name of the Parkinson family was subconsciously ignored by the other party.

After hearing Pansy's words, the leader of the Auror immediately glanced around and asked softly:

how's it going?

Immediately afterwards, he heard the colleague holding the manual look down at the page and say:

Hawthorn, Dragon's Nerve, twelve and a quarter inches, smooth and straight, with a long-stemmed daffodil at the end of the handle, owned by Miss Pansy Parkinson.

It seems to be right! The other party turned his head immediately, and smiled politely, Sorry for wasting your time, please go to bed as soon as possible! Also, remember to close the doors and windows, it may not be too much tonight. peaceful.

After finishing speaking, he handed back Pansy's wand again, and then greeted the other two colleagues, turned and walked to the next room. Before leaving, he kindly helped Pan Xi and the others close the door.

call--

As soon as the three Aurors left, Pansy let out a long breath.

To be honest, a wizard from a pure-blood family like her would not have been so nervous when facing Aurors before. It's just that nowadays, times are obviously different from the past, the more members of the pure-blood family who were incomparable in the past, the more they are walking on eggshells now.

Not to mention, she was indeed one of the targets searched by the three Aurors tonight, wouldn't she feel terrified?

After a while, Pan Xi suddenly remembered what she had said before. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but start to worry about what to do next.

That's right, when she moved out of Maca's sign just now, she did get a lot of convenience. If Maca's name hadn't been particularly useful, the three Aurors might not have left so soon.

But since the words have been said, does she really have to wait until tomorrow to buy a wand before going back to school?

From a certain point of view, a lie may bring people temporary convenience, but when a lie needs more lies to remedy, that lie will often become a great bondage for the liar.

Now that things have happened, Pan Xi immediately fell into the dilemma of whether to go back or not to return.

Iluli, do you know when Ollivander usually opens for business?

Facing Pansy's question, Iluli could only shake her head slightly.

Not only her, how many people would care about the opening hours of a wand shop?

According to the usage of ordinary wizards, changing wands two or three times in a lifetime is probably too much, and some people even have no need to change wands in their entire lives.

Otherwise... I'll go to Diagon Alley and wait when it's almost dawn! If you change, I'll rush back immediately, I hope there's still time!

Good luck, Miss Parkinson.

Yi Luli pursed her lips, but her heart was also very worried. In terms of the consequences of going back late, she would even be in more trouble than Pansy.

In fact, what she said to the Auror earlier was not entirely false, because she was indeed only a servant, but her master did not forbid her from holding a wand.

However, being able to have a certain degree of freedom in personal life on weekdays does not mean that one can also gain freedom when serving the master.

If she didn't finish her work before the master got up, she would be punished.

Just one night, it should be fine to go back before dawn tomorrow. Iluli said to herself, It's just that I can't go to Ollivander with Miss Parkinson...

Thinking of this, she involuntarily looked at Pan Xi's side face again, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

To be honest, at the moment before opening the door, the phrase friend that Pansy said really moved her. Since she was a child, no one had ever said that to her.

And if it weren't for the deep-rooted inferiority complex, she wouldn't have been unable to resist buying the ancient magic ritual that Martin had spread when she went out to buy daily necessities, and even killed someone to complete the ritual afterwards.

But in the final analysis, what she wants is not some outstanding strength, but a self-esteem that can be on par with others.

Now, Iluli, who has embarked on this road of no return like Pansy, actually doesn't know what to do for a long time.

However, just when she was still flustered, the previous raid on the underground church was suddenly staged. Without Pansy's help, she might have become the only cultist caught by Lucius' side in the whole battle.

Therefore, in the face of Miss Parkinson who not only helped her devastated self, but also gave her a friend promise, Yi Luli naturally felt a lot of gratitude in her heart.

If she had to say it, she really didn't want to go back to that master's house now. Although her master would not abuse her, that limited freedom came from complete disregard.

Rather than going back to that family that had no warmth at all, she might as well just stay with Pansy, her friend.

Miss Parkinson...

After a while, Yi Luli suddenly asked softly:

Can I ... go to the wand shop with you tomorrow?
