[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Christo received a message from Draco that night, and almost as soon as she saw him, Christo knew that she was in a dire situation.

Mrs. Malfoy's opinion of Bellatrix was not much different from what she had heard from Wormtail.

"And—" Draco seemed to feel that what he was going to say next was very ridiculous, "She may indeed hate you, she has always claimed to be the most loyal subordinate of You-Know-Who, but now..."

"You mean, she's jealous."

Draco nodded, "So, don't think about how to change her, you'd better master the Apparation spell as soon as possible. Can you find your father?"

"No, he was sent to the Ministry of Magic by the mysterious man. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Then are there any other trustworthy people around you?"

"Do you think Wormtail is reliable?"

Draco looked at the ceiling helplessly.

"How did you learn that?"

"Three d's, and keep going around the pillar. It's the same practice at Hogwarts."

Christo had no choice but to flip through some books, but she didn't dare to try it lightly, what if the body was separated?

She kept the theoretical knowledge firmly in mind, hoping to succeed in the first trial under Bella's guidance.

Early in the morning, Bella was waiting for her in the lobby.

"Time is running out, miss." She shook her frizzy hair, grabbed her and left.

Christo looked at her in disbelief, "Morning meeting, Mrs. Lestrange, there is still an early meeting!"

Bella sneered, "How old are you? Child." She couldn't help but dragged her out of the door, and directly Apparated.

There was not even a single bird flying over the barren flat land.Christo was sure she had never been to this place.

"Where is this?"

"It's not a warm and comfortable classroom at Hogwarts anyway." Bella raised her eyes sideways, "Not happy?"

"Master asks, I can't help but answer, right?"

Bella snorted coldly, "Don't worry about it, he will know."

Christophe shrugged.

"Spell." Bella wrote a string of characters in the air, "You have to remember the 3 d's..."

Christo was silent, she suspected that Bella had recited the contents of the textbook last night.

"Now, let me demonstrate to you." Bella finished reciting her explanation, and drew two circles on the ground. Her thin body in black robe twisted, and when she reappeared, she had already landed on another circle. Xin, "It's that simple." She opened her mouth wide and smiled sharply.

Christo stood in the circle suspiciously.She mentally recalled every sound of the incantation, and every corresponding gesture.On the first try, she couldn't move a centimeter in the circle.

"Ah, it seems that your talent is nothing more than that." Bella lay on the ground with her legs crossed and looked at her.

Christo ignored it.She tried five times in a row, but she was a little surprised that none of them succeeded.

"You're wasting my time, Miss McMillan, remember, 3 d's." Bella smiled so wide that it made her skinny face look like it was going to be torn apart.

A day passed, and Chris made no further progress, and she couldn't even get out of the circle with only her wand.

She was a little depressed, she hadn't even completed the transfiguration, and apparition seemed to be more difficult than she imagined.

She guessed Bella must be very happy, because when the sun went down, she hummed a strange tune, "Oh—I taught a fool—"

A week passed, and Christo still couldn't take a step. Once, she felt the familiar space distortion, but she just swayed, and when she opened her eyes, she was still in the same place.

"My Merlin, it's worse than I imagined!" she complained to Draco, "I'm always dreaming about the Apparition spell at night."

The third time, when Draco saw her crying, he subconsciously asked, "Haven't learned yet?"

Chris nodded.

"She guards you every day?"

"Yes at first, but then she seemed to be a little annoying. She took me to the practice site every day, and after the demonstration, she started to disappear. No, she also added a passionate irony."

"Is she so relieved to leave you there alone?"

"She wishes for me to see Merlin, maybe she secretly prays that when she comes back, she can see me split in two, dying..." Christo stopped suddenly, she was not worried at all during the practice. Accident?

"I don't think you will be able to practice there for the rest of your life." Draco showed a clear smile, "An anti-apparition spell, even a mysterious person may not even think about moving half a step."

"She wants to trap me there?"

"You should settle this matter early and go back to the morning meeting."

Christo gritted her teeth, "I really hate your aunt."

"I hate Mrs. Lestrange too now." Draco thought for a while, "Maybe you should contact the professor. It's normal, isn't it? He was your former Potions professor."

"Where is he from?"

"I have no proof, but Dumbledore trusts him far more than the mysterious man trusts you."

Christo had an idea in mind.

She applied to Voldemort to suspend her studies for a day. The potion she had been pondering recently encountered a bottleneck. It would be best to discuss it with Professor Snape.

It was his business, Voldemort approved.Christo hugged a pile of potion books to hide her eyes and ears. Professor Snape, who was summoned by Voldemort, saw the girl in front of him, and his expression instantly became gloomy.

"You'd better have business with me!" Snape glared at her.

"Isn't it a business to discuss how to solve the strange connection between the master and the savior?"

"You can write to me, Miss MacMillan. You should know what a risk I run when I come back!"

"Don't be kidding, professor, he trusts you very much, you are his." Christo pushed the book aside, put her hands together on the table.

"Miss McMillan, be careful, I'm from the Dark Lord." Professor Snape stared at her.

"I thought you were dissatisfied now because you lost an opportunity to inquire. I guess the actions of the Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic caused Headmaster Dumbledore a headache."

"I just think you're wasting my precious time, Miss McMillan."

"Really? Anyway, I'm in a hurry now. Mrs. Lestrange has trapped me. I haven't attended the morning meeting for a long time. This is very dangerous. After all, I don't have as much trust as you do."

Professor Snape's sharp eyes fell on her face.

"I need you to teach me about Apparating."

"What?" Professor Snape couldn't believe his ears, because of this?

"Apparition. I'm not old enough, but no one cares when you're running for your life."

Professor Snape turned to leave.

"Prophecy ball, he wants to predict the ball."

Professor Snape turned his head to look at her, his whole face sank, "I don't know what you're talking about, Miss McMillan."

"Don't you want to know this?" Christo stood up, "You owe me a big favor now. Knowing the master's goal, I must be able to do a lot of things. As long as you can get it back, the master will definitely be more I value you, Professor, don’t I need to keep talking, right?”

Ten minutes later, they left the Death Eaters headquarters and arrived at a nearby open space.

"Need I tell you the spell?"

"Of course not—I just want you to help correct the mistake, or save me in time if I unfortunately separate."

"Anyone can do it."

"I don't want others to know that there is a deep conflict between the two most trusted Death Eaters under the master."

Professor Snape sternly said, "I'll give you five minutes."

"Thank you." Christo immediately began to cast a spell.

In the next second, she appeared five meters ahead with all her beard and tail.

Professor Snape's face darkened even more, "Miss McMillan, please don't make such a joke on me next time." He immediately Apparated and left.

Christo shrugged helplessly, how did she know this would happen.

The next day, after Bella left, she quickly searched the surroundings, and with a little effort, she found the carrier of Bella's anti-apparition spell.She broke the spell and returned to the Death Eaters headquarters without hesitation, and sure enough, she saw Bella in the conference hall.

The meeting hadn't started yet, and the Death Eaters were halfway there.

Crewe looked at her with a smile on his face, "Miss McMillan, long time no see."

"Yes." Christo went to the seat at the top and sat down. "Thanks to Mrs. Lestrange's persistent teaching, I finally mastered the Apparition and Anti-Apparition spells this morning. Dorojo Rest assured, Mr. Fu, the next time we cooperate, there will never be any accidents like last time."

Bella glared at her.

Christo took out a box from her pocket, "A little gift, I'm a poor man, I hope Mrs. Lestrange you don't dislike it." A piece of broken stone, I hope she will find it familiar.

The box was placed on the long empty table, and Bella laughed dryly and blew it to pieces.

Christo said indifferently, "Sure enough, I was disgusted. I hope you like it next time."

"Miss McMillan, you have such a good temper." Antonin's eyes sparkled.

Lucius tapped the scepter, with a bit of hostility in his tone, "I don't think so."

Christo chuckled, "It's all for the master's benefit." The Death Eaters looked at her, guessing how sincere she was.

Voldemort finally appeared, "Kerry? You will disappoint me if you don't show up again."

"I'm stupid." Christophe said obediently, but many people still looked at Bella, stupid?They don't think so, and the master is just turning a blind eye.
