[HP]Blue Soul
Chapter 58 Goodbye My Dad
At the beginning of December, Allen Manor was basically emptied, and there was only one last trip left to bring the magical animal food stored in the warehouse.On this day, Allen was going to finish the warehouse with Charlotte, so he went directly to Godric's Hollow.
Allen prepared a bag, and used the shrinking spell one by one, and put the barrels into the bag.It was almost dusk, because the pile of wooden barrels was slowly decreasing, and the setting sun shone in from the glass window at the back, casting warm yellow light on the ground.
Charlotte tugged at the mouth of the bag with her right hand boredly, and grabbed the warm light with her left hand, but of course it was in vain.The left wrist was empty. Xiao Bai was already enjoying the warmth of the fireplace in the manor in Godric's Hollow, and she didn't have time to put on her watch.I don't know what time it is, whether Xing Xing has prepared a sumptuous dinner, waiting for them to have their first housewarming dinner together, Charlotte swallowed.
Afraid that the more she thought about it, the more hungry she was, Charlotte had to look around to divert her attention. She looked up at the fur on the wall that was dyed orange under the warm sun. She remembered that Allen said that it was made of the hair of an invisible beast. made.She turned her head and said to Alan who was working, "Alan, don't you need to take those on the wall?"
Allen looked up, and patted his head with the hand holding the wand, "Oh, I forgot, but fortunately you reminded me." The wand in his hand continued to shake, and the barrels became the size of palms, automatically Flying into the bag, "I'll put it away when I'm done with these."
After spending some time, I finally put all the barrels in.There was only a single table and a few rows of benches left on the ground.It was already getting dark, and when Allen was about to reach out to pull off the last piece of invisible hair, he suddenly heard a series of "bang" explosions from outside the house, shaking the ground.
Through the half-open warehouse door, Charlotte seemed to be able to see a glimmer of fire.Frightened by the explosion, she shivered and asked in horror, "What's wrong?"
Allen's face sank quickly, he grabbed Charlotte's hand and chanted a spell silently, but nothing happened.Allen said anxiously: "Charlotte, leave with your bracelet."
Charlotte didn't know why, but she followed Allen's instructions.She wiped the bracelet on her right wrist, but it didn't work. The familiar and annoying feeling of hooking her belly button didn't appear. She still stood firmly beside Alan. She opened her mouth and said, "It's no use, let's go!" No, I remember ten more times!"
"Damn it!" Allen stomped angrily, then quickly pulled off the invisible hair on the wall, pushed Charlotte's shoulder, and pressed her to the corner behind the door, "Star! "The stars did not appear, "Sure enough, damn it! Damn it! You stay in this corner for me and you are not allowed to come out."
"Ellen?"
The sound of the explosion was getting closer.
"Be obedient!" Allen said solemnly, frowning, and he put the invisible hair directly on Charlotte's body. Charlotte was surprised to see that his shoulders had completely disappeared, "cover yourself completely , don't move here."
Charlotte hesitated a little, but she realized the danger, she nodded, and hid her head under it in fear and novelty, the strange thing is, she can still clearly see the outside through this invisible fur everything.
"Alan, what's the matter?" Charlotte still couldn't help asking.
The flames outside the door continued one after another, and Charlotte couldn't help but see the ruins of the destroyed walls in his mind.
"I still found the door." Alan's voice was full of worry and frustration, "Xing Xing shouldn't have stayed in Godric's Hollow today." Alan looked out, "Charlotte, promise me , No matter what happens later, you are not allowed to make a sound or move. You know you can't help, I just need you to protect yourself!"
There was ominousness in Allen's words, and Charlotte was a little scared.
"Charlotte, can you call me Dad?" Alan suddenly said inexplicably.
Charlotte opened her mouth, but couldn't cry out.Allen didn't wait, he put his finger on his mouth, hissed, and quickly hid in the corner behind the door on the other side like a rabbit.The half door blocked Charlotte's view, she retracted herself into a corner, and tightly grabbed the invisible skin on her body.
The explosion outside had stopped, and the surrounding silence made Charlotte panic.Suddenly the sound of "da da da" footsteps appeared, getting closer and closer.
A female voice with a shrill voice said, "Cosmo, are you sure he's still here?"
The man named Cosmo sneered, "Bella, I never do things I'm not sure about."
The woman named Bella laughed loudly, "You have done too many unsure things. The last time you said you got the news, it was in the damn Spider's End Alley. How long have we been looking for it but haven't found it?"
Cosmo yelled angrily, "That's enough! Bella, I'll let the bastard Alan Travers explain to his master, he doesn't deserve the surname Travers at all!"
"Stop arguing, I set up the anti-transition spell and the soundproof spell here yesterday, there is absolutely no way for him to escape." Another male voice sounded.
"Bah, you're just a mixed race, what right do you have to order me?" Cosmo angered.
"So what, I'm much more useful than you." The man mocked Cosmo with a sneer.
"I heard that the master gave you an isolated black magic book the day before yesterday? Duke." Bella said suddenly.
"That's my reward!" Duke, who was scorned as a mixed race, said proudly.
"Crucio!" As soon as Bella finished speaking, Charlotte heard Duke's voice screaming in pain.
"Bella, you!" Cosmo was a little panicked. He didn't seem to have expected Bella's madness.
Charlotte gasped, these people were so cruel that they shot at their companions.
"Oh, I just missed it, Cosmo, he's just a half-breed, why are you panicking!" Bella said in a good mood.
"We have a mission today!"
"Of course, of course, the task is more important."
Duke's screaming of pain stopped, and he let out a hoarse growl, "You crazy woman!"
Bella laughed sharply, "Come, let's find out where he is hiding, such as this smelly warehouse."
As their voices got closer and their footsteps got louder, there were several shorter and shorter shadows in the moonlight penetrating through the door.Charlotte held her breath, her heart beating violently.
"Torn apart!" As soon as Bella's voice fell, Charlotte saw a red light hit the table in the warehouse, making a huge explosion.The tables were completely blown to pieces, and the glass windows at the rear of the warehouse were also shattered.
The voice seemed to be right next to Charlotte's ears, and she covered her mouth in fear to prevent herself from screaming.
"Let me see where he is hiding."
Another flash of red light flashed, half of the warehouse door in front of Charlotte was shattered, and the debris splashed under Charlotte's feet. She shrank her feet and curled herself up tightly.Soon a tall, lanky man with tousled brown hair came in, as if he had come from somewhere in a hurry.Under the moonlight, his face was pale.
He grins wickedly and makes a goosebump-creeping Koko sound, "Maybe hiding in the corner like a mouse."
It was Cosmo, Charlotte recognized the voice, but she covered her mouth tightly now, because Cosmo had raised his wand and pointed it at the corner where she was.
Charlotte thought she was exposed, she could hardly breathe.She seemed to have seen death, and she began to think of all kinds of regrets in her mind. Her best friend Lily, her family like Davis and Mrs. Betty, and she always kept in her heart that she never wanted to be with him. Separated Severus.
Her hand holding the invisible hair became tighter and tighter, and the hand covering her mouth began to tremble.
"All petrochemical!"
Charlotte's eyes widened, it was Alan's voice.
Cosmo quickly dodged out the door, dodging Alan's spell, but at the same time a light from his wand blew up half of the door on Alan's side.Allen rolled out of the corner, because the warehouse had already been emptied, and he couldn't find a place to hide.Charlotte stretched out her hand, wanting to pull him.But Allen seemed to feel it, and he shook his head secretly towards the corner where Charlotte was.
"Quick imprisonment." The woman named Bella also joined in.
Allen blocked Bella's spell with an "armor bodyguard", and immediately raised his wand and said to the door: "Torn apart!"
The wooden barrel outside the warehouse exploded. It was a wooden barrel full of ants, which Xingxing had just caught before.As the wooden barrel exploded, a large wave of dense ants began to crawl around, and one even crawled under Charlotte's invisible hair. She put down her hand covering her mouth, grabbed the ants and held them in her palm.
Enraged, Bella roared angrily: "It's really a hiding mouse. The flames are blazing!"
Soon a bright flame flashed by, and Charlotte smelled a very unpleasant burnt smell.The fire spread into the warehouse along with the desperately crawling ants, igniting the sawdust on the ground, and black smoke rose.Charlotte was now breathing in less air than she was exhaling, and she tried to hold back her coughing.
"The clear spring is like this!" Allen quickly reacted, and a stream of water flowed from the tip of his stick, splashing out the fire on the ground.
However, at this moment, he was hit by Bella's "cruciating wrist bone", and Allen fell on the sawdust that had just been turned off, rolling on the ground in pain.Charlotte had never seen Alan like this before. He rolled his eyes, his arms hugged him tightly, blood was bleeding from his lips, and the bulging veins at his temple seemed to break through his skin.As if something was stepping on him and beating him, he trembled and moaned in pain.
Charlotte felt a lump in her throat, and tears began to flow down her face.In order not to make a sound, she bit her fist.She began to complain about herself, why she lost her strength, she was like an ant in her fist now, she couldn't do anything except struggle secretly.
Bella laughed sharply, and she slowly revealed herself in the moonlight, a remarkably beautiful woman in her twenties, more beautiful than any movie star Charlotte had ever seen.But at this moment, this beautiful face is as ferocious as a ghost.
"The mouse is caught, hahahahaha." Bella laughed.
Cosmo followed Bella into the warehouse. He squatted down and grabbed Alan's chin with one hand, "Look, who is this?"
Allen gritted his teeth and said with pain: "Cozmo Travers, you are such a beast."
This man's last name is Travers too!
Cozmo Travers shook Alan's face vigorously, and laughed loudly, "That's not okay, my uncle, if I'm a beast, then what are you?"
He also gave Alan a Cruciatus, and Alan bit his lip tightly, letting out a dull cry of pain.The sweat on his head glared brightly under the moonlight, making Charlotte's eyes hurt, but she was unwilling to close her eyes, watching people like her father being tortured and insulted like a masochist.
"Look at this touching scene of meeting relatives." Bella walked around Allen's trembling body, and then stepped on Allen's hand.Allen's arm shook violently, but soon fell to the ground limply as if he had no strength.A fire burned in Charlotte's stomach, causing her stomach to twitch violently.She put down her hand helplessly, wanting to pull off the invisible hair on her body, rushing up to push Bella away, wanting to stop Alan's pain.
Allen looked at her corner again and shook his head.Charlotte bit her lip.
Suddenly an ominous green light shot in from outside the door and sank into Allen's body.Slowly, his warm brown eyes lost their luster, but a smile played on his mouth.Charlotte understood that it was a smile of relief, that he was free from pain because he was dead.
An ink bottle seemed to be blocked in Charlotte's throat, making her unable to speak, but unable to swallow.She bit her fist hard again, biting harder and harder, as if she wanted to crush her fist.
"Look at what you've done, Duke," Bella said unhappily.She removed the foot that was stepping on Alan's hand, lifted it up and kicked Alan's body. "It's a pity to be dead."
Cozmo Travers spat in disgust, "Damn it, this should be my job. Your hands are too long, Duke."
There was still weakness in Duke's voice, and he said bitterly, "We've lost enough time! Do you want to play until dawn?"
"It's boring. Let's go and report to the master." Bellatrix walked out first, then Cozmo Travers, and finally that Duke.He was still groping around on Allen's body, and finally took a pocket watch away before cursing away.
With a few short explosions, the surrounding area became more and more quiet. Charlotte squatted in the corner blankly. She tremblingly ripped off the invisible hair on her body only when she could not hear any sound at all.Her whole body was weak, and she didn't have the strength to stand up at all, so she could only crawl to Alan's body with her hands and feet, and knelt down.The dead ants in the palm of the hand also fell silently to the cold ground.
She raised her trembling, bloody hand, trying to touch Alan's body but withdrew it as if she had been scalded.But in the end, he pressed it on Allen's chest as if he had made up his mind.There was still a trace of warmth in the palm of the hand, but there was no heartbeat at all.
She shook Alan, as if all this was just an illusion, and she could wake him up in this way, "Alan." Her hoarse voice sounded suddenly in the silent night, like a broken bellows. . "Alan."
Charlotte got no response.
Finally, a suppressed and heavy cry came from Charlotte's throat.She slowly held Alan's right hand with broken fingers, and the bright moonlight shone on the side of Charlotte's face, reflecting the tears welling up in her sapphire-like eyes.Like a pearl with a broken thread, it slapped on her leg.
Time slides silently, the moonlight gradually sinks, and the sun gradually penetrates.The body around him has long been cold, and the blood has dried up.But Charlotte turned a deaf ear, she just held Alan's broken hand and stared blankly at a charred piece of wood on the ground.Her face was indifferent and expressionless, her bitten lip had scabbed over, and the tear stains glistened under the sunlight.
This is what the Ministry of Magic saw when they came over.The girl's slender body was stretched straight, as if it would be fragile and shattered in the next moment.
"It's so pitiful, this should be Ellen Travers' adopted daughter, Charlotte Smith." A man whispered.
"Stop talking, come and deal with it!" Another man said seriously.
Charlotte raised her head slowly, and there were two men in black robes in front of her. The thinner one had a serious face, and the fatter one was full of sympathy and anger.She opened her dry mouth, but tore open the scabbed wound, and the blood began to flow again.Charlotte didn't seem to feel the pain, she tried hard to squeeze out the syllables from her dry throat: "Adopted daughter?"
The fat man said, "Aren't you? Aren't you Charlotte Smith?"
Charlotte didn't speak, she looked at the fat man blankly.
The fat man twisted uncomfortably.Although the girl's eyes are very beautiful, but looking at a person with no expression like this will still make people feel scalp numb.But soon the girl closed her eyes and fell on top of Allen's body, passing out.
"Send it to St. Mungo's," sighed the thin man.
……
When Charlotte woke up, her eyes were blurred, and there was still a bitter taste in her throat, as if she had drunk some potion.There are intermittent conversations in her ears, "squib", "poor", "murder", "adopted daughter"...
Adopted daughter... adopted daughter!Allen!
A bolt of lightning struck Charlotte's chaotic consciousness.She sat up suddenly and looked around. This was St. Mungoley.
A man in a green robe walked over quickly, "You're awake, girl." He quickly cast a spell on the girl, and her body glowed with colorful lights.The man in the green robe said, "No problem, you can leave the hospital."
One of the four men in black robes behind him nodded.Charlotte looked at them and said, "Where's Ellen?"
One of the men pursed his lips and replied, "Sorry, Miss Smith, Mr. Ellen Travers has passed away."
Charlotte's nose was sore, and she forcibly held back her tears.
"Miss Smith, I am Tom Campbell, Auror of the Ministry of Magic. I am Alan's friend, and I am very sorry that this happened." Tom Campbell frowned and said to Charlotte, "I went to see the scene , That is undoubtedly... Undoubtedly!" Tom Campbell clenched his teeth angrily, "It was a brutal murder!" He hammered his fist coldly on Charlotte's bedside, making a dull "bang" sound.
Charlotte's throat choked, and she let out an unconscious "ah".
Tom Campbell clenched his fists and continued to say to Charlotte, "You should be at the scene. Although it is a bit cruel, I need you to recall what happened at that time, and whether you remember the appearance of the perpetrator."
Alan's painful red eyes, bulging veins, and broken hands suddenly appeared in Charlotte's mind.She shuddered, and her whole hand trembled.Then she thought of the three hideous people, two men and one woman who were like demons.Her throat was dry, and she wanted to turn her voice into a sharp knife with hatred, "I remember, I remember." She swallowed, "One is called Cosmo, one is called Bella, and the other is called Duke! That Bella Pulling Cruciatus, Alan hurts so much, he hurts so much." Charlotte's tears began to fall, "Then there was a green light, a green light from Duke, Alan was relieved, relieved..."
"Crucio!" said Tom Campbell angrily.
"Green light? Could it be Avada Kedavra?" said the people around Tom Campbell.
"It's a black wizard." Another person said, "This is troublesome. There are so many black wizards running away, it's hard to find."
"Charlotte." Tom Campbell said with some embarrassment, "how specific? You have to know, just a name, we have no way to determine who it is."
"Cosmo, Cosmo Travers. His name is Uncle Allen." Charlotte said with clenched fists.
"My God." The person next to him exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Cozmo Travers the sole heir of the Travers family?"
"It's the heir, and I have to get it back." Tom Campbell said coldly.
"But our minister, he..." The hesitant words made Charlotte uncomfortable.
"We need some conclusive evidence, the kind that the minister can't refute." Tom Campbell frowned and said, "How about the memory, find a Pensieve for the minister to see?"
"It's too dangerous. It's not that the memory drawn by me is prone to problems. If I accidentally draw the wrong one, it will turn people into fools."
"Then is there any other way?" Tom Campbell was a little frustrated.
A few years ago, the new minister of the Oro Department was a member of a pure-blood family, and he had interests in many pure-blood families.To put it in a bad way, he has become the boss of the pure-blood family in recent years, and he has settled many things committed by people from the pure-blood family.Not to mention, behind these pure-blood families, there is a powerful wizard Voldemort who is powerful and sees no end to the dragon.
Charlotte felt fire spreading from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, as if someone had set her on a "blaze."She roared as if someone had poked the most painful place: "What do you mean, they can't be punished as they should?"
Tom Campbell said apologetically, "I will, Miss Smith. It's just that there may be some obstacles." He paused, and then said very sincerely, "But I will do my best to let these murderers get what they deserve. There are punishments."
Charlotte knew it might be a blank promise.She turned her head away and stared at the empty hospital bed next to her, her heart felt like it was about to be roasted.She couldn't imagine that a person who committed a murder could be sheltered by others and continue to live a dignified life under the sun.And she, who has lost her strength and has no magic power, can't even take revenge.How useless, useless to the extreme.
"Miss Smith, as the legal heir of Mr. Ellen Travers, we need to go through the inheritance procedures for you." The man who stood behind the three Aurors for a long time said.
"The legal heir?" Charlotte turned her head in surprise and looked at the man who spoke.
"Yes, I am Adams Jackson of the Notary Administration Division of the Ministry of Magic. According to the information of this department, Charlotte Smith is the adopted daughter of Alan Travers, who can inherit Alan Travers after his death. Lavers' property."
"He..." He actually went secretly to apply for a notarization of his adoptive daughter. No wonder he always wanted to call him Dad. No wonder Uncle Bass and Mrs. Betty gave themselves to him so reassuringly. No wonder Xing Xing said that he was his too. Owner.
Tears welled up in Charlotte's eyes again, and her scabbed lips were bitten open again.
"Miss Smith, this is a confirmation of inheritance and needs your signature." Adams Jackson gave Charlotte a piece of parchment and a quill.
Charlotte glanced at the parchment, "What will happen if you don't sign it."
"According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, if you give up signing, the estate will go to the Ministry of Magic, including his house and his house elves." Then there will be no money left for you.The stubborn little girl in front of him made Adams Jackson a little unbearable. "My condolences, Miss Smith. Mr. Allen's funeral still needs you to take care of it."
Charlotte's hands trembled, but she still signed her name.She thought of the stars, of Alan's box of magical beings, of the shared home that Alan had gleefully said they would have—33 Godric's Hollow.
"Where are you going to bury Mr. Allen Travers? We will send his body there." The man beside Adams Jackson said.
Her voice choked out, "He wants to be in Godric's Hollow, he has to be there."
It was a very simple funeral. In just a few years, she had witnessed the death of so many people.Gloria's family came to Allen's funeral, and Gloria almost fainted from crying in front of Allen's grave.
The tea is cold when people leave, and the funeral will eventually end.Charlotte knelt in front of Allen's grave, stroked the still moving and smiling photo of Allen, and touched the epitaph on the tombstone: Life is limited, death is infinite, a future famous magical creature Home.
She seemed to remember Alan's smile that day.
"Goodbye, Dad."
Her voice drifted away with the wind, and went to an unknown distance.
The author has something to say:
There is no Ministry of Magic Notary Administration Department in the original book, this is my private setting.
Let's see off the lovely Allen. He has a limited life and an infinite death. He has embarked on another unknown journey.
Allen prepared a bag, and used the shrinking spell one by one, and put the barrels into the bag.It was almost dusk, because the pile of wooden barrels was slowly decreasing, and the setting sun shone in from the glass window at the back, casting warm yellow light on the ground.
Charlotte tugged at the mouth of the bag with her right hand boredly, and grabbed the warm light with her left hand, but of course it was in vain.The left wrist was empty. Xiao Bai was already enjoying the warmth of the fireplace in the manor in Godric's Hollow, and she didn't have time to put on her watch.I don't know what time it is, whether Xing Xing has prepared a sumptuous dinner, waiting for them to have their first housewarming dinner together, Charlotte swallowed.

After spending some time, I finally put all the barrels in.There was only a single table and a few rows of benches left on the ground.It was already getting dark, and when Allen was about to reach out to pull off the last piece of invisible hair, he suddenly heard a series of "bang" explosions from outside the house, shaking the ground.
Through the half-open warehouse door, Charlotte seemed to be able to see a glimmer of fire.Frightened by the explosion, she shivered and asked in horror, "What's wrong?"

"The stars did not appear, "Sure enough, damn it! Damn it! You stay in this corner for me and you are not allowed to come out."
"Ellen?"
The sound of the explosion was getting closer.
"Be obedient!" Allen said solemnly, frowning, and he put the invisible hair directly on Charlotte's body. Charlotte was surprised to see that his shoulders had completely disappeared, "cover yourself completely , don't move here."
Charlotte hesitated a little, but she realized the danger, she nodded, and hid her head under it in fear and novelty, the strange thing is, she can still clearly see the outside through this invisible fur everything.
"Alan, what's the matter?" Charlotte still couldn't help asking.

"We have a mission today!"
"Of course, of course, the task is more important."
Duke's screaming of pain stopped, and he let out a hoarse growl, "You crazy woman!"
Bella laughed sharply, "Come, let's find out where he is hiding, such as this smelly warehouse."
As their voices got closer and their footsteps got louder, there were several shorter and shorter shadows in the moonlight penetrating through the door.Charlotte held her breath, her heart beating violently.
"Torn apart!" As soon as Bella's voice fell, Charlotte saw a red light hit the table in the warehouse, making a huge explosion.The tables were completely blown to pieces, and the glass windows at the rear of the warehouse were also shattered.
The voice seemed to be right next to Charlotte's ears, and she covered her mouth in fear to prevent herself from screaming.

Allen gritted his teeth and said with pain: "Cozmo Travers, you are such a beast."
This man's last name is Travers too!
Cozmo Travers shook Alan's face vigorously, and laughed loudly, "That's not okay, my uncle, if I'm a beast, then what are you?"
He also gave Alan a Cruciatus, and Alan bit his lip tightly, letting out a dull cry of pain.The sweat on his head glared brightly under the moonlight, making Charlotte's eyes hurt, but she was unwilling to close her eyes, watching people like her father being tortured and insulted like a masochist.

Bella walked around Allen's trembling body, and then stepped on Allen's hand.Allen's arm shook violently, but soon fell to the ground limply as if he had no strength.A fire burned in Charlotte's stomach, causing her stomach to twitch violently.She put down her hand helplessly, wanting to pull off the invisible hair on her body, rushing up to push Bella away, wanting to stop Alan's pain.
Allen looked at her corner again and shook his head.Charlotte bit her lip.
Suddenly an ominous green light shot in from outside the door and sank into Allen's body.Slowly, his warm brown eyes lost their luster, but a smile played on his mouth.Charlotte understood that it was a smile of relief, that he was free from pain because he was dead.
An ink bottle seemed to be blocked in Charlotte's throat, making her unable to speak, but unable to swallow.She bit her fist hard again, biting harder and harder, as if she wanted to crush her fist.
"Look at what you've done, Duke," Bella said unhappily.She removed the foot that was stepping on Alan's hand, lifted it up and kicked Alan's body. "It's a pity to be dead."
Cozmo Travers spat in disgust, "Damn it, this should be my job. Your hands are too long, Duke."
There was still weakness in Duke's voice, and he said bitterly, "We've lost enough time! Do you want to play until dawn?"
"It's boring. Let's go and report to the master." Bellatrix walked out first, then Cozmo Travers, and finally that Duke.He was still groping around on Allen's body, and finally took a pocket watch away before cursing away.
With a few short explosions, the surrounding area became more and more quiet. Charlotte squatted in the corner blankly. She tremblingly ripped off the invisible hair on her body only when she could not hear any sound at all.Her whole body was weak, and she didn't have the strength to stand up at all, so she could only crawl to Alan's body with her hands and feet, and knelt down.The dead ants in the palm of the hand also fell silently to the cold ground.
She raised her trembling, bloody hand, trying to touch Alan's body but withdrew it as if she had been scalded.But in the end, he pressed it on Allen's chest as if he had made up his mind.There was still a trace of warmth in the palm of the hand, but there was no heartbeat at all.
She shook Alan, as if all this was just an illusion, and she could wake him up in this way, "Alan." Her hoarse voice sounded suddenly in the silent night, like a broken bellows. . "Alan."
Charlotte got no response.
Finally, a suppressed and heavy cry came from Charlotte's throat.She slowly held Alan's right hand with broken fingers, and the bright moonlight shone on the side of Charlotte's face, reflecting the tears welling up in her sapphire-like eyes.Like a pearl with a broken thread, it slapped on her leg.
Time slides silently, the moonlight gradually sinks, and the sun gradually penetrates.The body around him has long been cold, and the blood has dried up.But Charlotte turned a deaf ear, she just held Alan's broken hand and stared blankly at a charred piece of wood on the ground.Her face was indifferent and expressionless, her bitten lip had scabbed over, and the tear stains glistened under the sunlight.
This is what the Ministry of Magic saw when they came over.The girl's slender body was stretched straight, as if it would be fragile and shattered in the next moment.
"It's so pitiful, this should be Ellen Travers' adopted daughter, Charlotte Smith." A man whispered.
"Stop talking, come and deal with it!" Another man said seriously.
Charlotte raised her head slowly, and there were two men in black robes in front of her. The thinner one had a serious face, and the fatter one was full of sympathy and anger.She opened her dry mouth, but tore open the scabbed wound, and the blood began to flow again.Charlotte didn't seem to feel the pain, she tried hard to squeeze out the syllables from her dry throat: "Adopted daughter?"
The fat man said, "Aren't you? Aren't you Charlotte Smith?"
Charlotte didn't speak, she looked at the fat man blankly.
The fat man twisted uncomfortably.Although the girl's eyes are very beautiful, but looking at a person with no expression like this will still make people feel scalp numb.But soon the girl closed her eyes and fell on top of Allen's body, passing out.
"Send it to St. Mungo's," sighed the thin man.
……
When Charlotte woke up, her eyes were blurred, and there was still a bitter taste in her throat, as if she had drunk some potion.There are intermittent conversations in her ears, "squib", "poor", "murder", "adopted daughter"...
Adopted daughter... adopted daughter!Allen!
A bolt of lightning struck Charlotte's chaotic consciousness.She sat up suddenly and looked around. This was St. Mungoley.
A man in a green robe walked over quickly, "You're awake, girl." He quickly cast a spell on the girl, and her body glowed with colorful lights.The man in the green robe said, "No problem, you can leave the hospital."
One of the four men in black robes behind him nodded.Charlotte looked at them and said, "Where's Ellen?"
One of the men pursed his lips and replied, "Sorry, Miss Smith, Mr. Ellen Travers has passed away."
Charlotte's nose was sore, and she forcibly held back her tears.
"Miss Smith, I am Tom Campbell, Auror of the Ministry of Magic. I am Alan's friend, and I am very sorry that this happened." Tom Campbell frowned and said to Charlotte, "I went to see the scene , That is undoubtedly... Undoubtedly!" Tom Campbell clenched his teeth angrily, "It was a brutal murder!" He hammered his fist coldly on Charlotte's bedside, making a dull "bang" sound.
Charlotte's throat choked, and she let out an unconscious "ah".
Tom Campbell clenched his fists and continued to say to Charlotte, "You should be at the scene. Although it is a bit cruel, I need you to recall what happened at that time, and whether you remember the appearance of the perpetrator."
Alan's painful red eyes, bulging veins, and broken hands suddenly appeared in Charlotte's mind.She shuddered, and her whole hand trembled.Then she thought of the three hideous people, two men and one woman who were like demons.Her throat was dry, and she wanted to turn her voice into a sharp knife with hatred, "I remember, I remember." She swallowed, "One is called Cosmo, one is called Bella, and the other is called Duke! That Bella Pulling Cruciatus, Alan hurts so much, he hurts so much." Charlotte's tears began to fall, "Then there was a green light, a green light from Duke, Alan was relieved, relieved..."
"Crucio!" said Tom Campbell angrily.
"Green light? Could it be Avada Kedavra?" said the people around Tom Campbell.
"It's a black wizard." Another person said, "This is troublesome. There are so many black wizards running away, it's hard to find."
"Charlotte." Tom Campbell said with some embarrassment, "how specific? You have to know, just a name, we have no way to determine who it is."
"Cosmo, Cosmo Travers. His name is Uncle Allen." Charlotte said with clenched fists.
"My God." The person next to him exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Cozmo Travers the sole heir of the Travers family?"
"It's the heir, and I have to get it back." Tom Campbell said coldly.
"But our minister, he..." The hesitant words made Charlotte uncomfortable.
"We need some conclusive evidence, the kind that the minister can't refute." Tom Campbell frowned and said, "How about the memory, find a Pensieve for the minister to see?"
"It's too dangerous. It's not that the memory drawn by me is prone to problems. If I accidentally draw the wrong one, it will turn people into fools."
"Then is there any other way?" Tom Campbell was a little frustrated.
A few years ago, the new minister of the Oro Department was a member of a pure-blood family, and he had interests in many pure-blood families.To put it in a bad way, he has become the boss of the pure-blood family in recent years, and he has settled many things committed by people from the pure-blood family.Not to mention, behind these pure-blood families, there is a powerful wizard Voldemort who is powerful and sees no end to the dragon.
Charlotte felt fire spreading from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, as if someone had set her on a "blaze."She roared as if someone had poked the most painful place: "What do you mean, they can't be punished as they should?"
Tom Campbell said apologetically, "I will, Miss Smith. It's just that there may be some obstacles." He paused, and then said very sincerely, "But I will do my best to let these murderers get what they deserve. There are punishments."
Charlotte knew it might be a blank promise.She turned her head away and stared at the empty hospital bed next to her, her heart felt like it was about to be roasted.She couldn't imagine that a person who committed a murder could be sheltered by others and continue to live a dignified life under the sun.And she, who has lost her strength and has no magic power, can't even take revenge.How useless, useless to the extreme.
"Miss Smith, as the legal heir of Mr. Ellen Travers, we need to go through the inheritance procedures for you." The man who stood behind the three Aurors for a long time said.
"The legal heir?" Charlotte turned her head in surprise and looked at the man who spoke.
"Yes, I am Adams Jackson of the Notary Administration Division of the Ministry of Magic. According to the information of this department, Charlotte Smith is the adopted daughter of Alan Travers, who can inherit Alan Travers after his death. Lavers' property."
"He..." He actually went secretly to apply for a notarization of his adoptive daughter. No wonder he always wanted to call him Dad. No wonder Uncle Bass and Mrs. Betty gave themselves to him so reassuringly. No wonder Xing Xing said that he was his too. Owner.
Tears welled up in Charlotte's eyes again, and her scabbed lips were bitten open again.
"Miss Smith, this is a confirmation of inheritance and needs your signature." Adams Jackson gave Charlotte a piece of parchment and a quill.
Charlotte glanced at the parchment, "What will happen if you don't sign it."
"According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, if you give up signing, the estate will go to the Ministry of Magic, including his house and his house elves." Then there will be no money left for you.The stubborn little girl in front of him made Adams Jackson a little unbearable. "My condolences, Miss Smith. Mr. Allen's funeral still needs you to take care of it."
Charlotte's hands trembled, but she still signed her name.She thought of the stars, of Alan's box of magical beings, of the shared home that Alan had gleefully said they would have—33 Godric's Hollow.
"Where are you going to bury Mr. Allen Travers? We will send his body there." The man beside Adams Jackson said.
Her voice choked out, "He wants to be in Godric's Hollow, he has to be there."
It was a very simple funeral. In just a few years, she had witnessed the death of so many people.Gloria's family came to Allen's funeral, and Gloria almost fainted from crying in front of Allen's grave.
The tea is cold when people leave, and the funeral will eventually end.Charlotte knelt in front of Allen's grave, stroked the still moving and smiling photo of Allen, and touched the epitaph on the tombstone: Life is limited, death is infinite, a future famous magical creature Home.
She seemed to remember Alan's smile that day.
"Goodbye, Dad."
Her voice drifted away with the wind, and went to an unknown distance.
The author has something to say:
There is no Ministry of Magic Notary Administration Department in the original book, this is my private setting.
Let's see off the lovely Allen. He has a limited life and an infinite death. He has embarked on another unknown journey.
