HP's Platinum Temptation

Chapter 9 The danger of passing by

"Hello! My name is Jenny Down. Are you also going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

Standing in front of the Lamberts is a mother and daughter.It was the little girl who spoke back.

Clarence noticed that the little girl had looked back at the two brothers several times since just now.Standing in front of the mother and daughter was a boy about [-] or [-] years old with a frail look. Judging from his clothing, he was obviously a male student in the senior year of Hogwarts.It doesn't seem to be enough to arouse the little girl's interest in talking.

"Hello, this beautiful lady. My name is Theodore Lambert, and this is my brother Clarence Lambert. I am a freshman at Hogwarts this year. Nice to meet you." West Odo put his left hand behind his back very gentlemanly, took the little girl's hand with his right hand, and leaned over to kiss the back of her hand lightly.The aristocratic appearance is completely ten.

The little girl didn't expect Theodore to react like this, and she withdrew her hand in a panic.As if frightened, the little girl took a step back and leaned against her mother, looking down at her own toes, her face flushed with embarrassment, and even her small ears were dyed a beautiful pink.

Seeing this, the three adults of the two families all laughed.

Theodore himself grinned and scratched his head.

After Jenny was shy at the beginning, she chatted very happily with Theodore after a while.Both of them are freshmen this year, and their families live in London, so there are naturally many topics to talk about.From the Leaky Cauldron at the beginning, we talked about the strange shops on Diagon Alley.Both love owls and are planning to buy one as a pet.

Jenny's parents are both Muggles. When they received the admission letter this year, the whole family didn't quite believe it.But early this morning, a professor from the school came to the house to pick up Jenny.Seeing that the professor can display the same incredible ability as Jenny, they finally believed it.Originally, Mr. Dawn also wanted to accompany his precious daughter to Diagon Alley.It's a pity that today is a working day, and he still has to go to work.So Mrs. Dawn had to accompany her daughter and follow the professor.

Originally, the professor was supposed to accompany them all the time, but just now, the professor seemed to have something suddenly, so he sent Mrs. Dawn and Jenny to Gringotts to exchange coins, saying that he would come back to find them later.

"Jenny, what does your professor look like?" Theodore asked curiously: "I don't even have a professor to pick me up. My parents brought me here."

"Professor McGonagall is a very gentle lady. She is taller than my mother, thin, and wears a green skirt." Jenny thought about it seriously, and then replied: "She will be very powerful. Help me turn my little purse into a white fluffy doll." After speaking, she took out the little white fur ball she put in her pocket as a gift.

So the two children started a new round of discussions based on dolls and transfiguration.

Clarence didn't speak much of Theodore and Jenny's conversation, but he listened intently.Even the Duchess patted his head in relief without realizing it.

After the two families finished exchanging coins, they stood at the gate of Gringotts for a while.But it is still a little earlier than the time agreed with Professor McGonagall.So the Duke of Rezlan invited the two Dawn ladies to start the shopping plan with their family.

Ms. Dawn hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

So everyone's first stop was Ollivander's wand shop.

Originally, the place Clarence was most curious about was the wand shop.Unfortunately, the store was too small to accommodate so many people, so the Duchess waited outside the store with Clarence.

"After all, you will come again in a few years, so why not wait for them outside this time?" The Duchess' gentle comfort made Clarence feel better.As a man who is at least in his 20s, it is still possible not to let curiosity dominate his emotions.

After Theodore got the wand, he and Jenny ran out of the store happily, and said excitedly to his younger brother who was waiting outside: "Clay! I got my wand, it's a phoenix feather! Jenny's is a unicorn Damn. Look, my wand is twelve inches. Dad said that I will be as tall as my brother in the future, and his wand is also twelve inches!"

The Duke of Rezlan is very tall and straight, and Terrence is like him, growing to 1.9 meters before graduation.At home, both Theodore and Clarence needed to look up when speaking to the two men, something Theodore had been mindful of for a long time.He always hoped that he could surpass Terrence.

Since the time was about the same, the Lambert family planned to send the two Dawn ladies back to the gate of Gringotts to reunite with Professor McGonagall before separating.Jenny was very reluctant about this.She didn't smile again until Theodore comforted her and said that she would meet again on the train in half a month.

A group of people were walking, and they were about to reach the gate of Gringotts.Suddenly two men in black robes appeared around the six of them, took out their wands, and aimed at the six of them.The red light shot at Theodore.

"Armor protection!" Rezlan's first reaction was to pull out the wand in his pocket and put a shield on his child.

The attacker was obviously taken aback when he saw that the middle-aged man who thought he was a Muggle turned out to be a wizard.But they immediately resumed their attack.The silent offensive spells were all aimed at the three children.When the people around realized this, they all screamed in panic.

"Gretchen, protect Mrs. Dawn and the others! Theodore, protect your brother, come to me!" Duke Rezlan pointed his wand at the men in black robes, staring at their movements intently, commanding calmly while being on guard all the time family.

The battle of wizards is imminent, and the sky is intertwined with various lights representing different spells.It has to be said that although the Lamberts have been in the Muggle world for a long time and have not engaged in wizard battles, the people in black robes they have accumulated over the years and the magical spells they have never forgotten made them attack one-on-one. Fall into the wind.

"You bloody Death Eaters!" A furious voice came from behind Lambert and the others along with the sound of a few messy footsteps.

The two men in black robes were obviously taken aback, and they seemed to be about to retreat.

At this moment, a mutation emerges!

Theodore, who pulled Clarence to hide behind the Duke of Rezlan, discovered that there was actually a black-robed wizard hiding diagonally behind them.The wizard squeezed his way through the chaos, his wand pointed right at him and Clarence.Red rays of light shot out from the tip of the staff.

"Be careful!" Without thinking, Theodore used his body to block the direction of the red light, and threw Clarence to the ground.

I saw the red light passing Clarence's shoulder dangerously.

A piercing pain came from the wound where the curse had rubbed.Clarence turned pale.He and Theodore saw the man in black raise his wand almost at the same time, but he didn't know how to react at all.If Theodore hadn't thrown him to the ground with quick eyes and hands, the red spell might have hit him directly!

Theodore closed his eyes and tightly protected Clarence under his body. He didn't let go of his arms holding Clarence until the noisy fighting sounds in his ears stopped.Opening his eyes, the first thing he did was look nervously at his younger brother, checking his body back and forth, and asked anxiously, "Clay, are you alright?"

For a moment, Clarence was shocked by Theodore's eyes full of worry and tension.

Silently shaking his head at Theodore, Clarence clenched his fists with his hands hanging by his side and then slowly released them.There are mixed feelings in my heart for a while.

"Jenny!!" Madam Dawn's shrill cry instantly attracted the attention of the two brothers.

Regardless of the sharp pain in his shoulder, Clarence suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Mrs. Dawn. The moment he saw the situation clearly, his pupils shrank sharply.

Jenny, who was still lively and smiling just now, was pale and fell to the ground without a sound.

Clarence only felt that his heart was being pounded hard, and the pain was unspeakable.

The danger is so close.

The first trip to Diagon Alley ended in a hurry.When the Lamberts confirmed that their children were fine, they immediately took them away.Theodore was unscathed, while the wound on Clarence's shoulder healed quickly after the duchess applied a healing charm.

On the car ride home, Clarence remained silent.Because of the spell just now, he looked a little weak all over.Theodore seemed a little concerned that he hadn't protected his brother well, and at the same time was a little scared.Although the battle just now wasn't too fierce, it was enough to make the underage children pale.He kept holding Clarence's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Clarence seemed a little calmer than Theodore, but long periods of uncharacteristically low silence could show that he was far from being as calm as he appeared.

For the first time, after coming to this new world, Clarence was deeply stimulated.

Just a seemingly harmless ray of red light, Jenny fell down without a sound, and lost consciousness without even uttering an exclamation.The whole process happened so quickly that there was no sound.

He suddenly realized that this world was much crueler and more tragic than he had imagined.

In the face of danger, his reaction was not even a little bit better than Theodore's.

An 11-year-old boy also has no experience in wizarding battles, but has only received the enlightenment education of little wizards personally guided by the Duke of Rezlan.But from the beginning of the battle to the end, Theodore firmly protected his younger brother in his arms without any hesitation or fear.

Maybe just a knee-jerk reaction without much thought process.But it is precisely because of such resolute behavior, otherwise it would not be Jenny who was sent to St. Mungo's at this moment, but Clarence.

He suddenly realized that he, who looked calm and respectful before, was still not cautious enough to deal with the world, and was still too arrogant.Perhaps it was because of his previous success in all aspects that he didn't even have a basic sense of vigilance, which led to a completely different reaction from Theodore's.

To be honest, he was ashamed.Even if the body is more than five years old, it has not yet learned the stress response to such an emergency.But it is an indelible fact that he himself has lost the awe he should have towards the world.

The magical world is indeed very different, full of magical beauty, but also full of unknown crises.

Clarence spread out the palm of his right hand, suddenly having a strong determination to become stronger.If you want to learn to be more capable, you must be more capable than more people.What I know is not enough.
