Chapter 818 The Confused Little Girl
When you want to get to know a person, the most effective way is of course to go directly to that person to get along.
But what if that person is someone you can't easily reach?
In fact, this is not complicated, you just need to ask other people around the other party. As long as you are good at listening and analyzing, and try to sum up the influence of that person on the surroundings, you can gain indirectly in some details.
After all, no matter how good a person is at hiding and disguising, he will always show his true colors at some inadvertent times.
However, sometimes the problem is that people around the other person may not be willing to share their views on that person with you. So, what are you going to do in this desperate situation?
Don't be discouraged, send Legilimency to someone around him!
...Well, at least I won't act like that.
Maca shrugged, and took out an empty potion bottle from his sleeve, corked the bottle and put it back in the bag on his waist.
Before the potion bottle was stuffed in, one could see an inconspicuous word written on the bottle's label - Veritaserum.
What's your full name?
Marius Simmons Augustine.
I didn't ask you.
Volatile veritaserum has this shortcoming, and it is prone to accidental injury once it is used. With a wave of his hand, Maccarus directly cast a stun spell on Young Master Augustine, causing him to lie down on the spot and fall asleep.
But compared to Mario's quick effect, Miriam, who was a little closer to Maca, just stared a little. It can be seen that her strong will has given her good mental resistance.
It's a pity that the effect of veritaserum is not only magical, but the accelerated fatigue of the body is also constantly consuming her willpower.
Not long after, she finally uttered a sentence with trembling lips:
My name is Miriam.
...
The young Miriam lived in a wealthy and happy family.
She was born in London, England in the 1970s to Muggle parents. Although both parents are the kind of people who value their careers and avoid their families, it doesn't mean that they don't even care about their children because of work.
Even if the company of the family is indeed less, they will take Miriam to the outskirts of the city for picnics on weekly rest days.
On weekdays, under the care of a kind maid who has not yet reached the school age, she gradually grows up.
Thinking about it now, that was probably the happiest time she had ever spent in her life.
There are delicious meals when you are hungry, and fresh juices when you are thirsty. Even though her parents can only see each other every morning and evening, she is still content as a child.
What's more, she also met a boy her age in a small park near her home.
Although the boy's clothes were not as bright and bright as hers, they were just as clean and tidy. Moreover, the other party's personality is also very sunny, and she can always convey laughter to her heart in the rainy days of London.
Yes, that boy seems to be called Asaph.
However, just the day before her seventh birthday, Miriam's parents suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
That's right, it disappeared.
In fact, even she herself didn't notice the mysterious disappearance of her parents at first. Even when she realized that she was the only one left in the family, she never questioned the situation.
Even the maid who was originally employed by her family seemed to have forgotten the job and never appeared again.
But in this situation, how should Miriam, who has just turned seven years old, live alone?
The food at home was gone, and she tasted hunger for the first time. Afterwards, she began to lose strength slowly again, and it was extremely difficult to even lift the corners of her mouth.
As a result, this cheerful girl who was originally full of vitality soon lost her former vivacity.
It turns out that even a 7-year-old would want to struggle when he realizes he's cornered.
Miriam suddenly understood vaguely that she had to go out, to leave this empty home.
Asa? Asa...
When she struggled to support her body and opened the door to the street outside, the genius just dawned. And she didn't even know which morning it was.
Miriam didn't know who to go to, so she had to choose the name that was most familiar to her and call it out. Even if she yelled weakly, it was probably better than not yelling.
Asa... Asa!
She failed to meet that sunny boy with a fair face.
Maybe the other party is in the park now?
As in the past, waiting for her to play together... Although she didn't know what time that boy came to the park every day.
Unfortunately, it seems that she will never know the answer...
As her ankles softened, Miriam suddenly fell onto the wet and slippery ground. The palms and cheeks that touched the ground felt icy cold, which almost covered up the pain after falling.
Oh, did it rain again last night? I don't know if Asa didn't bring an umbrella again today...
Her consciousness began to become hazy, and the floor tiles in front of her eyes became a large dusty mass. Even the opposite street that happened to be reflected in the puddle was mixed together, slowly fading away like a dream.
Sleeping on the ground, Dad will be angry... Well, Dad... who is it?
When this question flashed past her heart, her eyes were completely plunged into darkness.
In fact, even now, Miriam finds it hard to believe that she would wake up at that time. But no matter what, she still woke up.
The moment she opened her eyelids, Miriam's vision was still blurred. It wasn't until she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes that everything in front of her was truly reflected in her mind.
Asa!
Although she could still feel her own weakness, she could see a familiar person when she opened her eyes. That sense of security was undoubtedly extremely important for a little girl.
Oh, Miriam, are you awake?
Yasa, who was just dozing off on the edge of the opposite bed, jumped off the bed and ran to her, looking her up and down.
Ah, yes... Miriam blinked her eyes, and her long eyelashes immediately showed a bit of agility, When did I fall asleep? Where is this?
Little Yasa probably heard these two questions, but he didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he turned around and rushed out of the room.
Grandpa LaVine! Grandpa LaVine! Miriam wakes up—
Hearing the shouts in the corridor gradually fade away, Mi Lian, who was suddenly left in this strange room, shrank back and wrapped the quilt around her body a little tighter.
Only then did she have the time to take a quick look at the room.
This is a very simple decoration... No, it can actually be called a simple multi-person bedroom. There were four beds, two old wooden desks, and a half-opened grilled window.
Looking out of the window from her, the blue sky was divided into pieces by the diamond-shaped grille in front of the window, and a few clouds drifted quietly between the grilles to places that could not be seen.
Judging from the feeling that nothing can be seen from the outside except the sky wall, this room is at least on the third floor. Because looking out from the attic of her house, the scene is similar to here.
Of course, the sky in London is gray and white most of the time, and it is not easy to see such a fresh blue color.
Tut Tuk.
Miriam, who was shrinking her neck and staring out the window, was interrupted by two light knocks on the door. She timidly turned her head and looked towards the door.
Milian, this is Grandpa Lavin, he was the one who saved us a few days ago!
Compared with Asan's excited expression, Miriam's face showed more fear.
In a blink of an eye, she saw that an old man came in after Asaph. The old man sat on a chair with wheels and was pushed by an uncle to the foot of the bed.
And the old man who was slumped on the strange chair was not only as thin as a stick, with hands like bird claws, but even his eyes seemed to have a gloomy and cold aura.
When seeing the other party, there was only one word in Miriam's mind - terrible!
Oh, don't worry, Grandpa Lavin is a good man.
Seeing the confusion on Miriam's face, Asa finally remembered how he felt when he saw this old man for the first time.
Indeed, that was definitely not a good start.
However, at that time, he had no one to comfort him, but now Miriam can be comforted by him?
Don't worry, didn't I just say it! It was Grandpa Lavin who saved us—otherwise, not only would I die, but you would also starve to death by the side of the road!
Unlike Miriam, Yasa has witnessed the successive deaths of relatives since she was a child, and she also understands the meaning of death to some extent.
When old Eun saved him from a certain life crisis, it was like an incredible miracle from near death to rebirth.
Good guy?
Miriam clutched the quilt tightly, still shrinking her neck and glanced in the direction of old Eun again.
Well, it's just lunch time, why don't you eat something delicious first!
Old Youn smiled suddenly, and his wrinkled skin moved, which actually made his skinny face a little more gentle.
...
...Later, I lived there with Asa.
Hearing what Miriam said, Maca counted the time in his heart, and understood something after a while.
For example, in that era, it happened to be the period when Voldemort was at the peak of his power. At that time, Death Eaters were quite active.
And in those few years, Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix also came into being.
It seemed that the disintegration of Miriam's family happened at the worst time before the Order of the Phoenix was founded. It can only be said to be very lucky to survive under such circumstances.
So, what about the days after living there? Maca then asked.
