[HP] Alchemy and Love

Caradoc Dearborn and Dorcas Meadows are missing.

While crying, Lorencia directed everyone to grope for the box from the tree branch.The service life of the invisibility cloak is going to be greatly reduced, but fortunately the people inside are all fine. Edgar's grandmother tried to wake him up, and Edgar gave his father emergency treatment.His mother was also quickly sent to St. Mungo's together—in general, none of the Burns family was in danger of life, and Lorenthia, who was no match for a chicken, survived basically intact.On the contrary, Dearborn and Meadows, who were the most combative, disappeared, almost certainly captured by Death Eaters.

This fact is indeed a bit ironic, but no one can laugh.The Order of the Phoenix quickly held an emergency meeting. Lorencia, who had been crying a lot, poured two bottles of potion, sat down at the scene, and listened to the progress of the incident with others—actually, she didn’t know much about it. , after looking at the communication card after the war, she already had a general outline of the events that happened out of her sight.

Edgar Bones was the first to send out an emergency call for help, and added a message to inform everyone that there are a large number of Death Eaters, and they must not come to die alone.Immediately afterwards, several people sent messages saying that they could not apparate directly, asking if anyone knew the nearest apparation location to Burns' home.

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix is ​​a comrade-in-arms who can be entrusted with life and death, but not everyone is close enough to be a guest at home anytime on weekdays; As far as I can remember, the place where apparition can be disapparated is basically blocked by the anti-apparition spell, and the two people who are most familiar with the Burns family, one is Dearborn, and the other is Dorcas Meadows.

From the communication records that she didn't have time to see, it can be seen that in a few minutes, everyone communicated with each other, gathered quickly, and quickly picked a relatively short distance to Apparate—but it was still far away from Burns. Home is quite far away, and it will take time to come here.And Dorcas Meadows was delayed by something. Several minutes had passed by the time he saw the distress message. The first batch of reinforcements was already on the way, and the rest of them were basically busy. .As someone who was more familiar with the Burns family, she remembered the more recent apparition location, so she boldly went to help alone.

Judging from the follow-up analysis of the battle traces, Dorcas Meadows approached the house from around the back door, and exchanged fire with the Death Eaters guarding outside the house.It may be because her appearance attracted some of the Death Eaters that Dearborn and Mrs. Burns stayed in the room for so long until Lorenthia blew up the house.She and Mrs. Burns were buried after the house collapsed, and the battle trail outside was a mess. It's impossible to know what happened during that time. It may be that Dearborn managed to continue with the Death Eaters who were not suppressed. Fighting—but in short, the result was that two Death Eaters were crushed to death on the spot, and two were injured in fighting or blowing up the house and did not have time to retreat, so they were captured alive; the rest captured Dearborn and Dorcas, fled.

Lorenthia has already finished telling what happened intermittently.Right now, the room is in a mess. Those who went to St. Mungo's guards, those who went to the Ministry of Magic to inquire about the news, and those who tried to rescue the hostages through various channels to inquire about the Death Eaters' movements, everyone performed their duties, and Lorenthia was treated as a wounded person. , She silently huddled on the sofa in the corner, she looked at everything in front of her blankly, still a little bit in shock, wanted to help, but felt that she didn't know what she could do.

This accident shocked her unprecedentedly, not only because of the dangers she encountered, but also because it was the first time for her to witness the disappearance of people around her so closely——Dearborn seemed to be fighting against the Death Eaters just a moment ago, The next moment, he was suddenly knocked down and taken away.And he was captured, at least half of it was to protect Lorenthia.

She couldn't help thinking: If I had his fighting strength... No, even if I could only be half as good as him, maybe I could last a few more minutes until other people came to help.Perhaps if Dearborn can hold on, Dorcas Meadows will not be captured.Or maybe even with her current combat power, if she could restrain her fear at the last moment and climb out of the ruins to help Dearborn resist, maybe Dearborn would not be knocked down by them.

But the fact was that she was terrified and shivered under the ruins, listening to the sound of fighting outside but not daring to take any action. Dearborn and Meadows, who fought bravely, were captured.This made her feel even more powerless and remorseful.

Suddenly the sofa beside her sank, and she turned her head to look, and saw that Edgar was sitting next to her.The leg that was hit by the curse was numb from the knee down, and he had been hopping on one leg just now, telling others about the process and dealing with affairs. "You didn't go to St. Mungo's?" Lorenthia blurted out.

"I won't feel at ease until the matter is settled here." Edgar said, "Thank you today, you saved our family's life."

Lorenthia shook her head hurriedly, feeling ashamed to bear such thanks: "No, it's all due to Dearborn...I didn't do anything, and I couldn't help."

"You've helped a lot." Edgar said gently, as if he had read her mind, "It's true that Caradoc is very powerful, but he can't protect our family no matter what. It all depends on your box." And the Invisibility Cloak, we were able to escape only because you rescued my parents after they fell. You and Caradoc are good at different things, and you do nothing less than him."

Lorenzia bit her lip, feeling relieved, but still a little guilty, "But I should have done better, I was panicked at the time. If someone else was..."

"If someone else was there, it wouldn't be any better than you," Edgar said. "If it was—say, Frank. Sneaking it out without knowing it, and if you hadn't brought the snowball, we wouldn't have known that the Death Eaters would come. The family was scattered all over the house, one by one. I can't imagine what it would be like If you think about it, I’m more troubled than you, even if I’m awake, I can’t do anything with such a leg. I really want to thank you.”

Lorenthia wanted to cry a little bit at what he said, so she tried her best to hold back, but she felt better in her heart.Edgar sat with her for a while, and just about to get up, he saw Dumbledore walking towards them.

"There's news from Moody that St. Mungo's will arrange for Aurors to be on duty." He first told Edgar, then turned to Lorenthia: "Is there any way to track the whereabouts of the two of them? ASAP."

"Tracking people..." Lorenthia hesitated, "Maybe you need to use some relatively unorthodox blood magic. You need the blood of close relatives, the closer the blood relationship, the better."

Professor McGonagall, who was standing next to him, shot his sharp eyes straight over immediately: "Dark magic?"

"According to the more common and broad definition, it can be regarded as black magic, but in fact, it is actually an evolution of a spell in India, and the spell needs to be carried out in conjunction with an alchemy circle." Lorencia explained, " It's the fastest way I can think of."

"If there is such black magic, wouldn't Sirius be tracked?" James interjected.

"This is really different from ordinary black magic..." Lorenthia shook her head and argued, "This kind of spell is only used to strengthen the blood connection and develop a sense of direction based on it, and there is a condition that only if both parties are willing It only works when the connection is established, and if one of the parties does not want to be found, the magic is ineffective. For centuries in the past, this spell was even secretly circulated among some Muggle nobles, those whose families had disappeared or been found. Kidnapped nobles use this sense to find where their children are trapped, or, or..."

She stuttered one last time and didn't finish—the last word should have been "the dumping ground."The few people around were silent for a while, and no one asked her about the end of her unfinished sentence. "Anyway, this method sounds a bit evil." Finally, Sirius said first, "but with such a fiasco, killing several Death Eaters and killing none of the Burns family, Voldemort must now fly into a rage."

"We don't have a lot of time." Professor McGonagall nodded and admitted, "Voldemort will probably vent his anger on them first, torture them for a while before killing them-but we have limited time to find them, and we need to consider how to save them The problem."

"The matter is urgent and human life is at stake. I think this method can be tried." Alice Longbottom said, "I know Dorcas's mother, I will contact, Dearborn—"

She looked at Edgar, Edgar frowned and shook his head slowly.

"As far as I know, Dearborn doesn't have any blood relatives. He's an orphan."
