[HP]Aluet

Jenkins was dismissed not long after, and because of her old friendship, Dumbledore sent her safely out of England as she wished, and she finally escaped from this dangerous place that frightened her.

We thought that with the new Minister of Magic, things might be going in a good direction, but the new Harold Minchem is a hardliner.

On the second day after he took office, he vetoed the non-resistance policy. This was something that many people were happy to see. The Ministry of Magic began to take the initiative. It was all over. In just two months, the UK gradually resumed some trade with foreign countries. However, the sudden attack they violated the agreement also aroused the anger of the black wizards. At this important juncture, Minchum But more dementors were placed around Azkaban.I'm guessing that part of the reason may be to prevent jailed dark wizards from escaping, but this seems to me to be an extremely stupid approach.He actually forgot the dementor out of control incident in the Ministry of Magic so quickly, wouldn't he use his brain to think about why those dementors suddenly out of control?

I remembered what Riddle had said about the more enticing terms he had promised the dementors.A dementor, a creature that only succumbs to food, it's not hard to imagine what Riddle would do.He wished that the war would be fiercer, the more people died in the war, the more food sources the dementors would have...

In desperation, Dumbledore could only start with the Secretary of Justice of the Ministry of Magic. He approached Barty Crouch several times alone, and proposed to temporarily lift the restrictions on the Unforgivable Curse, because after a fight with the unscrupulous dark wizard In the battle, the Aurors who could only use ordinary spells were at an absolute disadvantage.Once the time has passed, they simply cannot afford such a high cost of casualties.

Barty Crouch hesitated to delay because it meant changing the order without the permission of the Minister, who still considered the Unforgivable Curse "evil" and "disgusting". , this matter is so stalemate without any progress.

Fletcher never brought any news about the Lin family.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, which built up day by day and gradually turned into annoyance.I naturally know that he won't be paid to do nothing, but doing useless work for a long time has almost exhausted my patience.

According to Alphard, they searched many places, but found no trace of the Lin family.He thought it might have something to do with the space magic of the Lin family, they were safely hidden in a certain place—at least temporarily.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, as long as Riddle doesn't take the lead, everything is still under control.

But I'm still worried, I can't just wait for Riddle to find it.Yongmu Lin wanted me to bring this "time artifact" to the Lin family, but he didn't give me the slightest clue, so it's unreasonable.I regret that I didn't think of this, I should have asked him first.

It suddenly occurred to me that the Lin family might have a way to connect with this time artifact, after all, it belongs to them.I turned the ring out and turned it in my hand a few times, it began to change shape, I finally stopped when it turned into a thick book.

I turned the pages of the book, took out my wand, and reorganized the words in the order I remembered.I didn't understand the meaning of the combined sentence, I just memorized it abruptly based on the shape of the characters.I think that if I have time, maybe I should look through Chinese books again-in fact, I had the idea of ​​wanting to learn Chinese a long time ago, but I swear I have never seen such complicated strokes and complex meanings, so I gave up on the idea after a few cursory glances before feeling a headache.

After a violent suction, I slipped and fell to the ground.

I shook my head, looking at this magical space that I entered once.

I walked between those whirlpools that rotated at different speeds, carefully avoiding them, but I walked for more than ten minutes, and the surrounding scene was still the same.

I waved my wand, and they became countless disjoint rivers in space, flowing in front of me and behind me.But this time, I observed much more carefully than last time. I was surprised to find that the water flowing in those rivers was not water. I saw tiny pedestrians passing through the road and countless high-rise buildings. I saw two cars colliding. Together, I can even see a dog with a rope that broke free from the hands, and its owner is desperately chasing after it... As I keep getting closer, the picture keeps zooming in front of my eyes, almost overwhelming me. Wrapped in, and those thin voices in the ear are also quickly becoming clear.

I didn't come any closer, I was afraid I would be drawn into it.I walked along the direction of the river, and the messy sounds poured into my ears along the way, and my brain gradually couldn't process the messy information.

I try not to blink my eyes to make sure I can barely see what's moving fast.

I saw the sea. There was an old man wearing a hat fishing by the sea, and there was a little girl reading a book sitting on the fence by the shore.

I look away.

After staying here for so long, I originally thought that if someone used the time artifact, the Lin family would probably feel it, but now it seems that there is no reaction at all.

"Space replacement." My wand clicked in mid-air, and I uttered a spell, intending to get out from here.However, I closed my eyes and waited for two seconds, nothing happened.

I opened my eyes and frowned.

There are still flowing rivers around.

Did you say the wrong spell?

"Space replacement." I repeated it again. This time, the air in front of me began to blur and distort. My limbs felt a force of tearing from all directions, and the air around me was twisting strangely. When all these changes stopped, I found that I hadn't returned to the room, and a deserted path appeared in front of my eyes.

I guess this is just a virtual scene, because it is so abnormally quiet here, there is no pedestrian on the road, only a few houses on both sides.

I still haven't gained the ability to control my body. I walk forward as if I am being controlled by someone else. To say that I am controlled, it is better to say that I am doing this from another perspective.

I turned to the left, walked into the third intersection, and stopped between two low houses. In front of me was a staircase leading to the top.I heard the separation spell uttered from "I", and the stairs leading to the top in front of me began to fall one by one, and soon changed to the stairs leading to the bottom.

Just when I was about to step in, a force pushed towards me like an invisible hand. I fell on my back, and the ground under my feet turned with me. Still holding the thick book in his arms.

I shook my head, still immersed in the shock brought about by the continuous transformation of space.I sat down, took a blank piece of parchment, dipped it in ink with a quill pen, and drew the scene I just saw, and handed it to Dumbledore the next day, asking him to help pass it on. Fletcher went to find the place.

The number of St. Mungo's wounded is increasing day by day, and the medical staff are overwhelmed with work. They keep developing new methods, but the damage caused by black magic is still more and more difficult to solve.

"Let me try it," I said.

"It's unrealistic, Ashley." Dumbledore shook his head, "Saint Mungo can't be mixed in casually, and your identity may be very troublesome. What can really solve the problem is the popularization of black magic." Healing skills, not your own ability. Unfortunately, we don't have much research on black magic, and there is no way to prescribe the right medicine."

I came out of the office with a sad face. I didn't leave in a hurry, turned around and went upstairs to the library.

I sneaked around the Restricted Book Section, and found some books about black magic and jinxes.

My body slammed into a person, and my shoulder hurt from the impact. The person also let out a muffled grunt. I looked closely, and there was nothing in front of me. The person was in an invisible state just like me.

Before I could think of anything to do, my ears picked up the slightest footsteps and meowing.

The long-lost tension prevented me from thinking too much. Even though I was in an invisible state, I dragged that person and hid in the innermost place. I didn’t dare to breathe out. I waited until the footsteps came from far to near, and then slowly moved away until they disappeared. Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.

So, my consciousness finally came back.

When I felt the touch of someone else's wrist in the palm of my hand, an awkward atmosphere flowed infinitely in the dark and quiet space for a moment.

"……Who are you?"

I heard a question from the side.The voice is cold, like a girl.

I let go of my hand and didn't answer her, intending to leave quietly, but she threw a spell in my direction extremely decisively.She was a student and hadn't yet learned the Silent Appearance Charm, so after a brief surprise I blocked her spell and subconsciously knocked her wand down with the Disarming Charm.Her wand twirled and landed firmly in my hand.

So I finally saw her true face——she took off the hat on her robe, her hair almost merged with the night, only her gray-blue eyes shone with cold light.Her hand grasped my sleeve exactly where the wand was.

"give me back."

I had no intention of confronting her, so I obediently returned the wand to her.I turned around and prepared to leave, but to my surprise, she still attacked me relentlessly. This time, I didn't hear the spell from her mouth. After feeling the dangerous magic breath, I pulled out I stretched out my wand and tried to resist it, but maybe I underestimated the enemy. A tingling sensation came from my wrist. My hand trembled and I almost missed holding the wand. Another quick reveal.

My disillusionment spell had failed, and I emerged, looking at the girl in surprise.

"Who are you?" She stared at me strangely.

"It has nothing to do with you." I thought for a while and said, "I was a graduate many years ago, come back to see the professor."

I sized her up and looked down at my sleeve that had been cut by the spell, revealing a wound that was not too deep or shallow, the edge of the wound was a little charred, and the black magic aura had just dissipated.I frowned: "What's your name?"

"It has nothing to do with you." She responded slowly.

I stared at her uncomfortably, and I didn't see a trace of expression on her fifteen or sixteen-year-old face.There is no guilt of hurting others, and no respect for predecessors.

"Perhaps you should be more polite, child."

"Sorry." She was silent for two seconds and bowed to me.Similarly, I didn't see dissatisfaction from her expression, as if the impolite attitude just now was as natural as the apology at the moment.She walked two steps closer to me, and under my shocked gaze, she pointed her wand at my wound and uttered a spell I had never heard before, and the wound began to heal quickly.

"What's your name?" I asked again, and this time I said my first, albeit false, "Alice."

"The Meadows," she responded briskly after hearing my name, "Dorcas Meadows."

"Where did you learn the spell to heal black magic damage?"

"I invented it myself," she said, "and it only works for less serious injuries."

"How long have you been studying black magic?" I wanted to persuade her, "Black magic is not a good way..."

"Aren't there a lot of people learning black magic now?" She retorted, "What's the point?" She paused for a while, then added lightly, "It also depends on where it is used."

I froze.I never thought about the benefits of studying black magic, but when she said this, I remembered the difficult problem of black magic injuries that I was facing today, and I suddenly wondered whether my prejudice against black magic was too serious.

"Do you plan to become a medical doctor in the future?" I asked hesitantly.

"No." She looked at me in surprise, "That would be boring."

"It's a pity. If you plan to become a medical doctor, I'm afraid you can have a great achievement." I pursed my lips and patted her on the shoulder regretfully. She shook her body slightly, as if trying to escape, but in the end It didn't, "You're a very gifted kid, Dorcas." I applauded heartily, "Come on."

Her eyes were shining with an unknown light under the moonlight outside the window, I didn't wait for her reply, I was about to leave, when I suddenly remembered something.

"Put your hat on, Dorcas." I softened a little, and teased almost unconsciously. "It's not a normal thing to talk to a dangling head."

My last syllable draws an unnatural beat.

I saw a brief smile appear on her face.However, the familiar and unfamiliar words reminded me of something. I froze on the spot, and after a few seconds, I lowered my eyes, turned around, walked through the bookshelves, and left the library.

After about a week, with a specific goal, Fletcher's search soon came to fruition.He said the place looked like the northern Pennines of England, on a hard road.

I thought of the curse on me, if I went in person, it would be equivalent to revealing the news to Riddle at the same time.

I wanted to ask Dumbledore Fox if I could send the things over there, but then I thought that the step needs a spell to change, but I don't seem to feel at ease when I hand over the things that should be done to me... …

However, just as I took the time to think about what to do about it, the stone connected to Alphard moved again.

He would often tell me where they were operating, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I finished reading the above text, my face instantly turned ugly.

They went to England.

Going to England doesn't mean anything, but when I think that the Lin family is probably there, my chest and abdomen feel a tight colic, and I start to fidget, thinking of Fletcher's personality, in case he is bought by someone...

So, I went to him alone.

We met at random in a shabby little pub.It's not easy to find this small place, I thought he would choose an easy to find place like the Hog's Head, but unfortunately he didn't.

"Why not at the Hog's Head? I've been looking for this place for half an hour." I'm a little annoyed.

"I—oh." He took a puff of the cigarette that smelled like leather boots, shook his head and said nothing.

"Can you guarantee that the drawings I gave you have not been seen by anyone else?" I confirmed this to him.

"Absolutely not!" He swung his hand wildly, opened his eyes wide, and unconsciously raised his voice a little, as if he was very surprised that I had such a thought, or according to my subjective guess, It should be said that it is more appropriate to panic because I am afraid that I will lose his reward because of doubts, "How is that possible?" He smiled to accompany him, "Since I have been paid, of course I will do things seriously... What's the matter? ?”

"It's nothing."

I snorted noncommittally.I admit that I have subjective malicious speculations about him, but I really can't trust him completely.

I just stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale.

I paused alertly.

"Oh—too bad." He muttered in a low voice, his eyes dodged, he didn't dare to look at me, then he stood up hesitantly and walked out.

"What's wrong?" I stopped him.

"I... I thought something might have been left in the Hog's Head..." he stammered.

"Have you ever been to the Hog's Head Bar?" I was dazed with anger, "Then why don't you just meet me there?"

"No——" he denied, "I can't go there, the boss is very fierce, in fact, I am obviously a regular customer there - even though I don't often buy things from his house, I am still a regular customer, right? If you say get angry, you will get angry, I didn't expect him to give me a ban directly, how can I do it?" He finished speaking very quickly.

"Why did he give you a ban?"

"Oh, oh." He seemed reluctant to answer, "Didn't it just steal a few bottles of whiskey from him? Maybe it wasn't because of that..."

"Did you steal other people's money again?" Although such a direct question seemed inappropriate, but thinking about his business, I guessed the cause of this matter with a good degree of accuracy.

"Don't say it so ugly." He curled his lips, "How many people who go to drink are not rich..."

"As long as you do this kind of thing less, you won't be rejected by others." I said, "If you continue to do this kind of thing, there will be more and more things like this in the future."

He didn't say anything, he strode ahead, stupefiedly extinguished the cigarette, and threw it on the ground.

He and I split into two ways to leave here, but after walking a few steps, I thought about it and turned back.I turned into a bird and followed him among the branches. He turned his head furtively, looked around for a long time, and confirmed that I had disappeared from his sight.He started to run quickly, panting and rushed into the Hog's Head Bar, I flew in through the half-open window and hid under the table, watching him go straight to the counter.

"Fletcher! You're not allowed in here, get out!" The boss pushed him, trying to push him out.

"Because of arguing with you last time, my things were left here, and I will leave when I take them—"

"What do you have left here? Hurry up and get out! If you do this again, I will specially set a spell at the door to prevent you from entering—"

"No, no, I promise it's not for money—it's a blueprint, maybe a little crumpled..."

My breath stopped, and my heart was pounding.

"A customer said that you stole his things, how dare you come back and ask for—"

"What!" Fletcher was shocked, "Who took it?"

I had no time to be annoyed, I didn't listen any more, and flew out the window, not daring to stay for a moment.It took me a few apparitions to get to England, a place I was completely unfamiliar with, and I was asking around anxiously, when the stone in my pocket felt scorching heat, and I immediately took it out.

There was a wave of magic power on the stone. I held it tightly and felt a connection with another piece. Although I didn't see any changes with my naked eyes, I could feel transparent silk threads detached from the stone, floating In the air, it pulled me in one direction, forming a concrete frame in my mind, so I knew exactly where Alphard was.

With a specific goal, I can use Apparition to get there, but I can't help but think that if I go there, I will expose the fact that someone close to Riddle told me the news.

But now, with the safety of the Lin family at stake, I have no choice.

Perhaps, I can guide Riddle's suspicions in the direction of Ranbusi, so that Alphad will not be harmed, and I can use his hand to suppress Ranbusi a little.With that in mind, I no longer have any worries.

[Destroy the stone. ]

Just in case, I gave him one last signal, and the stone was destroyed and thrown away, and the apparition disappeared in place.

The steps of the stairs have collapsed, I walked in, the shattered protective spell was still exuding bursts of black magic, I hit the closed door with the crushing spell, the door shattered, and I saw several figures in it .

"stop!"

I saw Riddle raised his wand, and I wanted to stop him, but he seemed unmoved as if he didn't hear or notice my coming.

A few Death Eaters at the back attacked me.

Green light burst out from the tip of Riddle's wand, and the two people in front of him were struggling to resist, and as the light dispersed amidst the buzzing, a second green light illuminated the dimly lit room one after another.

Maybe those Death Eaters were just trying to hold me back, so they didn't cast any high-damage curses. After I hastily released an Iron Armor Curse, I didn't even think about it, and directly dodged in front of those two people. The magic wand, but the spell has just come out from the tip of the wand, and there is no time to resist it, and the dazzling green light has already filled my startled eyes, and my other hand stuffed the time artifact into the hand of the person behind me at the last moment inside.

"Leave--" I finally said a word.

In desperation, I felt a knife-like pain rushing to my face, and the burning pain spread from my arms to my whole body. I was stimulated by the dazzling light and closed my eyes, and a strong airflow behind me blew me away. There was a flutter of clothes, accompanied by a loud bang, and I breathed a sigh of relief - at least I completed my task.

However, I suddenly realized that the time left for me to think before death seemed a bit too long.

I opened my eyes suspiciously.

"Let's go." I heard Riddle's voice squeezed out between his teeth, and after a few bursts of air, the place became empty again.

I stared blankly at the black-robed figure in front of me standing straight among the ruins. After the Death Eaters obeyed his order and left, his body began to crumble, falling like a thin piece of paper, and fell to his knees. On the ground, one hand was holding the wand tightly to support the ground, and the exposed arm's skin and flesh were cracked, revealing the white bones.I twisted my head vigorously, and felt a sharp pain in my nerves. I saw that my entire right arm and shoulder were blown to a bloody mess, and the wall behind me had already collapsed and sunken.

"Riddle?" I looked at the horrific blood and mess. At this moment, my brain was completely blank. I couldn't think of anything, and only him was in my eyes.

My tears rolled down, and I stumbled and threw myself beside him, holding his body.

"...Go away."

His voice was a little hoarse, and he stood up with force.I looked up and watched him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his scarlet eyes were full of cold haze and monstrous anger.

I haven't seen him like this for a long time.

His intact left hand pinched my jaw fiercely, stared into my eyes, and probably wanted to say something, but his pale lips were tightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

My heart throbbed unbearably like a needle, it surpassed all my senses, my consciousness was about to collapse, white light overflowed from my fingertips, I wanted to do something to compensate, but he quickly Then shook off my hand.

"I will kill you." His cold and resolute voice may have been slightly trembling due to his weakness, "Next time, if you appear in front of me again, I will kill you, Ashley."
