Vol 16 Chapter 11: variable

Back to Gabrielle’s small shop, it was three poles in the sun, and the warm winter sun toasted the stone-paved streets. Even inside the room, the stale atmosphere of the scrolls was swept away by the sunlight.

Lockhart came back much earlier than they did, and was sitting at Gabriel’s counter looking through the messy parchment. Seeing them push the door in, he greeted casually, "Yo. Our young people are back."

Gabriel started chasing people directly, "Go away from my counter."

Lockhart was noncommittal.

"Okay, if you want to indulge in bad information, you have to wait to explain it to me." Xie Chen split his hand and grabbed the page in his hand, "From the **** door key to the Death Eater to what your purpose is."

"Wrong. I'm innocent. The great Professor Lockhart just rescued the hapless Muggle boy once again."

Xie Chen glared at him.

"I said. I can't say it. Young man, curiosity killed the cat—"

"And you! Lockhart, you must be too long-winded when you die one day!"

"If you guys want to fight, just let me go out." Gabriel still said flatly, but when she spoke, the whole house was silent. Her gaze swept over the two of them one by one, and then stepped forward and walked into a door at the back of the house. Xie Chen and Lockhart followed.

This is a living room. Compared with the darkness of the shop, it is unexpectedly bright and bright. The walls are covered with light green patterned wallpaper, and a small round table by the window is covered with a clean checkered tablecloth. A teapot, a teacup, and a book underneath the teacup. There are several chairs around the table.

In addition, there are a few cabinets and bookshelves.

Three people sat down at the table. Gabrié flicked his magic wand, and the teapot and cups immediately clanged and flew towards the samovar. A cabinet in the corner also automatically opened the door, and a plate flew out of it, and various pastries lined up one after another. Serve on the plate.

Xie Chen looked stunned. He had seen Lockhart's scorched pants and the magic of keeping warm before, but what he saw at this moment was completely beyond his understanding.

"Go ahead. Gabriel," Lockhart pointed to Xie Chen, "How did this guy come to you?"

A word awakened Xie Chen's attention. He retracted his gaze and listened intently to Gabriel's account of how the two people met, without exaggerating or adding to the jealousy. Gabrielle seems to have no interest in portraying herself in the story as an image of abusive lynching that does not listen to others' justifications.

But sighed and sighed, the next three people shared the experience of the encounter on the knight bus and the door key. Of course, Xie Chen also briefly described how he met Harry Potter.

auzw.com "Now you should explain." He said to Lockhart, "What exactly is a Death Eater?"

The teapots and plates flew back one after another, spinning over their heads, Lockhart took a cup of tea down, and actually thanked the teapot solemnly.

"You see, nearly thirty years ago, there was a big demon in our wizarding world-Voldemort. Under his rule, the entire wizarding world was shrouded in a cloud of terror. One day, he obeyed a He predicted that Harry, who was just born, would be the one who killed him, so he ran to Harry’s house and killed Harry’s parents. Harry’s mother Lily, used the last bit of energy to protect her Child, she planted a curse in Harry's blood, so that instead of killing Harry, Voldemort was seriously injured and disappeared. Our world therefore once again ushered in a brief peace."

"Speaking of the important point, I will ask you what a Death Eater is." Xie Chen didn't take him in the least.

"I'm telling a story. You don't want to know what even children know, do you?"

Gabriel ate the muffin blankly.

"Okay." Xie Chen disarmed and surrendered.

"After Harry grew up, he naturally went to Hogwarts school. When he—what grade was he here? Forget it’s not important—, Voldemort returned. In this way, Harry’s side, by Huo The Order of the Phoenix led by Dumbledore, the principal of Gwarts, began a fierce confrontation with Voldemort’s forces. This was the largest war in our history. The so-called Voldemort’s forces are those who sworn allegiance to him. These People will have the mark of Voldemort, which we call the Dark Mark. These people are Death Eaters. In the post-war trial, most of them went to the wizard prison Azkaban, but there were some A particularly dangerous Death Eater, escaped the hunt of the Ministry of Magic and disappeared to this day—"

"Then where were you going on the Knight Bus that night?"

"Entrusted by Harry, go to the appointed place to connect with the people in the Order of the Phoenix, and get the information in his hands." Unexpectedly, Lockhart replied extremely candidly, "I know what you want to ask. But magic, since it is used. Then there must be traces to follow, so one of our guidelines for conducting such secret activities is to try not to use magic to transfer, so as not to be found."

"Then you didn't expect someone to put the door key on the bus, right? But since they wanted to catch you, why did we stay in the wilderness for so long, but there was no movement at all?"

"I don't know about that." Lockhart shook his head, and the teapot obediently filled him with tea. "Probably to delay time."

"Then there is another question. Since you know it is delaying time, why don't you leave quickly without magic? You have such a kind of magic, right?"

"But I can't take you a Muggle Apparition." Lockhart said bluntly. "And I also want to observe what the person who set the trap wants to do. There is only one variable in this operation. Enough, I can't take any more risks."

"Do you think there is such a possibility that someone wants you to know something, but he can't say clearly, you can only use this way to find it yourself?" Xie Chen proposed.

"you--"

"Shut up!" Gabriel said sharply. She put down the tea cup and stood up, staring at the window, and withdrew her wand. ..
