if i am not me

The icy rain wet the ground, and the crackling made people feel restless for no reason, but today was Monday, so even if they were reluctant, people still left home in twos and threes, and took transportation to their respective work points.

London, the top international metropolis in Europe, looks particularly bleak in this confused rain.

There were very few people on the street, and a few people walked in twos and threes, also in a hurry.

The war in the wizarding world inevitably spread to the Muggle world.Even though the Muggles still know nothing about magic, the weird climate, frequent spooky accidents, and the increase in unexplained disappearances have brought countless negative emotions to the city—everyone is in danger.

The author has something to say: PS: The author cannot access the Internet due to work, so she sent this article to me on her mobile phone today and asked me to post it for her.It said it was a gift, but I don't know how to get it, so it should be correct.Here is what she said the author had to say, right? ? ? ? ?

The icy rain wet the ground, and the crackling made people feel restless for no reason, but today was Monday, so even if they were reluctant, people still left home in twos and threes, and took transportation to their respective work points.

London, the top international metropolis in Europe, looks particularly bleak in this confused rain.

There were very few people on the street, and a few people walked in twos and threes, also in a hurry.

The war in the wizarding world inevitably spread to the Muggle world.Even though the Muggles still know nothing about magic, the weird climate, frequent spooky accidents, and the increase in unexplained disappearances have brought countless negative emotions to the city—everyone is in danger.

No one knows whether they will run into what the government calls an "accident" when they go out this time.I don't know if those neighbors and friends who often discuss the weather with you have become a string of names in the newspaper in an instant.

Even protests and demonstrations, which are commonplace activities, fell silent unconsciously.

And the man just stood quietly in front of the window, looking at London like this through the rain and fog all over the sky.

"Father..." A low-pitched male voice sounded in the room, and the quiet environment made the slight voice very clear, "Is this also Xiao Huan's doom?"

In less than half a year, the temples of the man in front of the window—the head of the Qiang family have turned gray.

The old man on the sofa looked at his haggard appearance, sighed heavily, and put down the divination tool in his hand. "It is destined to have such a catastrophe. If you can't pass it, it depends on his fortune."

"But I don't want to just admit it like this..." At the beginning, I agreed to Xiao Huan's coming to the UK, just to comply with the hexagram of his doom in the west, as the saying goes, if you can't break it, you can't stand it.This is why they were not particularly worried after Xiao Huan disappeared.Speaking of it, it's just because Xiao Huan is just a bargaining chip for "that person" to negotiate with the entire Qiang family. As long as the Qiang family is still alive, Xiao Huan's life will be safe, and at most he will suffer a little.

Unexpectedly, this trip would become a calamity of life and death for Xiao Huan.

Listening to his son's murmur, the old man didn't say anything for a long time, but quietly closed his eyes.

It wasn't that he was hard-hearted, he was indifferent to seeing his grandson's life in danger.At their age, even if they let go of mundane things, they still see many things more clearly than young people.

Secrets must not be leaked, not a joke.Don't you see that whether it is a hexagram master or a fortuneteller, there are very few people who die in bed, but it is because of leaking the secret, which ruins other people's lives, not to mention their own lives.

As for Xiao Huan's hexagram, although it was dangerous, unexpectedly there was a glimmer of life.It was this glimmer of life that made the old man shut up.

The rain outside the window is still falling tirelessly.

Perhaps this was the most helpless day James felt after taking over the Ministry of Magic. Even though he knew the risk was great, when the truth came, James couldn't help but feel that his previous efforts would be completely overturned. dripping blood.Compared with the physical pain, it has become insignificant.

Of course, this feeling was well hidden, and he couldn't be weak at this moment.

Even though he was so sick that he wanted to vomit blood, he still had to put on a smile and express his agreement with the decision of the head of the Qiang family.

Even if this decision made their plans change drastically.

All right!This matter is indeed their fault, and the Qiang family's persistence in not "turning over" for so long is already the best of benevolence.But now "that person" just wants to let him go with a spell, no matter what, it's much simpler than the previous request, isn't it?

Hell simple!

Who knows, this is the real headache for them.

Judging by the attitude of the Qiang family, it is obvious that they do not intend to continue to interfere.After all, they have spent all their manpower and material resources. Now, in order to exchange for the kidnapped heir, they have even taken out the secret arts at home. If they ask again, the Qiang family...

Thinking of this, James, who was still lying on the hospital bed, darkened his eyes.

At this point, I'm afraid, I can only put all my eggs in one basket.

The continuous rain not only brought a gloomy mood to the Muggles, but also made the students of Hogwarts become a little depressed. The impact of the war is getting bigger and bigger. Even the most optimistic children are now seldom Smile less.

Sunday would have been a good day to sleep in, especially on such a dreary morning, and a good night's sleep is indeed a good choice.Unfortunately, early in the morning, Harry and Draco were summoned to their secret base - the Room of Requirement by the message on the subpoena.

Looking at Ron with an anxious face, Harry felt instinctively that what he heard next would definitely not be a good thing.

Draco and Hermione also felt this way, because generally speaking, it was difficult for him to feel anxious.

"What's going on?" would call them over early in the morning, apparently there was something he couldn't fix.

Ron was obviously in a hurry. As soon as the door on the wall was closed, he said, "Neville has a message that 'that man' wants to exchange Qiang Huan for the secret arts of the Qiang family, and the Qiang family agreed."

Hearing this, Draco said puzzledly, "Is this why you picked him up in such a hurry the day before yesterday?"

"I don't know. It's just that Neville was protected when he got there, and he overheard it this time. It is said that the secret technique is related to restoring the soul."

"So he guessed, 'that person' wanted to use secret techniques and horcruxes to repair the soul?" Hermione was clear, but she still had a little disbelief about the content of the guess.

Ron also knew that this guess seemed ridiculous on the surface, but it was not impossible for them who knew some inside information. "Yes, he is very anxious now, but even though he said he was being protected over there, it was actually no different from being under house arrest. There was no other way, so he quietly sent me a message."

Listening to Ron's remarks, Harry couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Too many things have happened in the past few days. First, the Ministry of Magic was robbed, and then Qiang Huan was exchanged for the Qiang family's secret arts. If there is no connection, no one will believe it.It's just... why did Neville send the news back in such a timely manner?

In this regard, Harry, who has experienced too much, has to think about the dark side.

Draco seemed to have the same idea as Harry. At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and a certain premonition that he had before seemed to be more and more ready to come out.
