The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

In the evening of the next day, in the northern part of Yinglan.

John and Michael were standing on a hillside, looking at a manor in the distance.

Although it is called a manor, it is far less large and beautiful than the Malfoy manor.

Under the light of the setting sun, it looked more like a long-abandoned farm.

But there are people living there.

If you look closely at the orange-lit windows, you can even see the silhouettes of people dancing and reveling inside.

"Is this what you call the fun part?"

John glanced at Michael and said.

"This is a wizarding family that immigrated from abroad. From the day they arrived here, they have been holding high-end parties and dances, and have sent out invitations to everyone in the wizarding world who can be called pure blood. wizard."

Michael explained, "At first glance, this is just a new upstart wizard family dreaming of nobility. There are many such guys in the United States. For a long time in the past, these upstarts have been He is keen on using huge amounts of money to buy off the so-called 'nobles' who have fallen into disrepute.

Let them circle around you.

In this way, they can obtain the so-called 'honor' and integrate into the so-called 'upper class', thereby satisfying their vanity and self-esteem.

If that's all it is, it's not really a big deal.

But the problem is that the goblins are also on the family's invitation list.

And it's not just the goblins from Gringotts in the country, but the goblins from other surrounding countries will also come to attend the dance from time to time.

Now do you think this is interesting? "

"Now it's interesting." John nodded seriously, "So why do the goblins come here to attend the dance? Where does this family come from? What's their last name? What they do..."

Michael shook his head and arms and quickly interrupted John's question.

"Please, I just happened to hear a down-and-out pureblood mention a place like this when I was drinking in a tavern, where I could come and eat and drink. As for the rest, I really don't know."

John suddenly turned his head to look at him, with a very strange expression on his face.

"What do you think I brought you here for?" Michael lit a pipe, "Isn't it just to investigate these things?"

"what--"

John said angrily, "You are really diligent! It has been more than a month, and you have actually completed so much work!"

"Don't say that, I'm really busy, and I've only had so much free time recently." Michael smiled, "Besides, I also did some research and planning on this matter.

For example, I know that a member of this family will return to the family tonight.

As long as we intercept him on the road, we can find out what this family and the goblins are up to. "

Michael seemed to have remembered something again and said, "Oh, by the way, you should have the Veritaserum there, right?"

John rolled his eyes and took out a small transparent potion from his deformed lizard skin wallet.

"that is really good!"

As Michael spoke, he looked at the sunset that was about to set, "Everything is ready and the time is almost up. Let's set off."

After saying that, Michael put on his hood, turned around and walked towards the lower road down the hillside.

John shook his head and followed quickly.

It wasn't until the sun completely set and the dim waning moon rose that the two of them stopped.

"Our target appeared."

Michael said, pointing forward.

Following the direction he pointed, John could see a dark ancient carriage driving on the path.

The carriage is engraved with a coat of arms.

The shape of the entire badge is made up of a large number of thorn and vine patterns, and in the center of the badge is a ferocious wolf head.

The carriage was pulled by two large horses with all black fur, and the person holding the reins in the driver's seat was a man wrapped in a black robe, whose face could not be seen clearly.

The carriage was not moving very fast.

John and Michael just stood quietly on the road, watching it slowly drive in front of them, but still showed no intention of slowing down.

"This is not the reaction a normal person should have."

John said with a frown.

If a normal person encounters someone like the two of them blocking the road in the middle of the night, they would either slow down or be wary.

As a result, the carriage in front of him didn't even react at all.

"Try it, and then you'll know."

Michael shook his head and took out his wand.

"Except your weapons!"

"boom--"

A dazzling red light flashed out and directly hit the driver.

The reins he was holding in his hands were knocked away.

The driver's black robe was also lifted up by the air waves.

But what appeared in front of John and Michael was not the panicked expression they expected, but a cold, inhuman face shining with metallic luster.

"The alchemy dolls are still crudely made. They have no defense capabilities and can only perform simple tasks." Michael stepped forward to check the motionless driver again. "It seems that the people in the car are in the family. The status is not high.”

While Michael was talking, John had already opened the carriages.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

The moment the door opened, a bouncing red light bullet was shot out.

Fortunately, John was prepared.

As the phantom of the shield flashed in front of John, the red light bullet was bounced directly into the distance.

At the same time, a 'disarming spell' had been shot into the car by John.

"Bam—"

A wand was knocked away and fell accurately into John's hand.

At this time, John finally saw the situation in the carriage clearly.

But the scene in front of him made John slightly stunned.

Because the person sitting in the carriage turned out to be Alice.

The other party seemed to be startled by John's appearance.

Their eyes were dull and they stared at each other in silence for a long time before Michael came over and said:

"What? You know her?"

John took a deep breath and said:

"It's a classmate."

"That'll be troublesome!" Michael said distressedly, "What are you going to do? I'll leave the decision to you."

John stared at Alice in the carriage, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

To be fair, John didn't like Alice very much, but he didn't dislike her either.

The main reason is that Alice's level of alchemy is indeed very high, and she also masters unique techniques, which is of great help to him.

For example, in the 'Blake Incident', John found Blake thanks to Alice's 'Direction Spell Tracker'.

This kind of thing may happen in the future.

After thinking for a while, John felt that [forgetting everything] might be a good way to solve this problem.

However, before he could express his conclusion, he heard Alice react and say:

"Do you want to kidnap me and blackmail my family?"

As she spoke, Alice's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally she even grabbed John's arm directly, "Count me in, let me join in! I can help, and with the ransom I can get, we can Fifty-fifty split!”
