Aly couldn't tell whether it was a nightmare or reality. [phoenix\/huang\/ updates quickly, please search //ia/u///]
It was winter and there was no sign of complete warmth yet - so he wore a very thick winter coat, and the cloak was also made of cold-proof material. However, on the stone tiles where his feet were stepping, the cold was still uncontrollable. The ground dug into the seams of his bones, as if it would not stop until his soul was frozen.
He looked around and almost fainted from fright - although it was still clean and tidy, the room made of stone bricks always had some flaws, at least the smell of fermented sewage that had been accumulated for a long time went straight to his nose. The sun couldn't warm this place at all. The most terrifying thing was that standing here, he couldn't feel any magic at all. He took the wand and chanted the spell three times, but the wand still didn't bring him any light.
If you want to see something, you can only use candles and matches. He thought numbly and desperately. But this means that his magic power really doesn't exist anymore.
This fact made his eyes darken, and he almost fell to his knees.
It's so quiet that you can't hear anything, it's so dark that you can't see anything but black, the magic power can no longer flow through the body, he holds the wand but can't even light it up, this kind of scary place... this kind of place ...Why is he in a place like this!
But then a hand supported him.
"."
A familiar voice sounded behind him, and tears truly filled his eyes at that moment.
ar——
Just as he was about to turn around and hug his friend and cry, he heard arry shush.
"Stop talking—someone's sleeping there."
I can't even see my fingers clearly in this damn place. How on earth did you find someone sleeping!
As if aware of the doubt, Larry took out a lighter from his pocket, lit up a small spark with a click, and then the spark floated in the air, illuminating the space where the two people were standing.
"..."
Under the light of the fire, I looked at the lighter in his hand as I was looking for matches on my body, feeling like a stupid fool.
"Look there."
arry's face was very calm. He pointed to a corner, and through the corner of the firelight, he did see a little bit of a long strip there... If you think about it, it should be a bed.
But this is not normal, no one is sleeping and there is no sound of breathing - if there is really someone there, then... I firmly believe that he will not be breathing. Otherwise, I just can’t breathe anymore.
He suddenly felt even more terrified.
"," arry suddenly said softly, "What is the relationship between the German Ministry of Magic and the British Ministry of Magic?"
"Why...are you asking this?" Although he wished he could pick open the other person's head and understand what the other person was thinking before answering, "Don't you also know this - German and British wizards have always looked down on each other, but on the surface There are still occasional friendly interactions on the Internet, at least the people from the German Ministry of Magic don't dare to mess with Dubledre. You know the reason. But if you want to expect - hiss, cold - that they are as close as brothers, that is delusional. "
arry nodded thoughtfully. He is a w, of course he knows it, but all this still needs confirmation.
He pulled his hand and let the flames float forward a little.
In fact, if you look carefully, this room is quite habitable. There are extinguished candles, matches and dinner plates on the table. The window next to it has simple curtains, stone tables and chairs, and strangely filled with books on the wall - although there are no bookcases, the wall is deeply recessed. Many books that do not look very new are placed there in rows and rows. If you look carefully, you can smell the smell of old pages.
"What are you doing?" His eyes widened and he didn't dare to move forward. "Can't you disapparate? Let's get out of this damn place quickly." As he said this, he remembered who brought them here and got angry. Grinding his teeth, "Damn it, that necklace of his is actually a door key!"
Shh. arry quietly made a gesture and stretched his neck to look at the person on the bed.
This is an old man - he must have had an extremely perfect physique when he was young, because even if he is covered by a layer of blankets, the old man's body is still strong, and his arms exposed outside the quilt are not as thin as ordinary old people. Slender, on the contrary, no different from a young man, except for some chilblains caused by the cold and the loose skin caused by time.
His hair, eyebrows, and beard are all gray. This is the second such old man with white hair that arry has seen this year. The first one is Principal Dubledre.
I seem to have seen him. arry thought.
He stretched out his hand and fiddled with the flame, trying to make it brighter. He took out a lighter and tried to light it up again, but his hand was held by someone.
He almost screamed - the seemingly dead man suddenly opened his eyes, and his not-withered hand grabbed arry's arm holding the lighter.
"I was still wondering where the fire and breath came from here." A hoarse voice said like an echo in the valley, "It turns out I'm not in a dream."
arry watched the old man slowly open his eyelids and blinked himself.
"Sorry to disturb your rest," said arry, "we'll be leaving in a minute - to be honest, we don't even know why we're here."
The old man laughed softly. It was hard to tell whether it was contemptuous or not.
"You can't get out of here with your feet alone," he said, "and you can't apparate yet." He slowly supported the bed with his hands, and his eyes swept over the clothes of the two children, and arry noticed His eyes stayed on her body longer, "It's useless for you to walk out with your feet. Begging for mercy will not buy your freedom."
"——Where is this?" he asked, almost trembling. He subconsciously grasped arry's sleeves, feeling from the bottom of his heart that this would be more reassuring.
arry answered him calmly: "This is Nurmengard."
"What?!" screamed.
"Do you remember this?" Ari spread his hands and showed him the necklace that caused them so much misery. The silver triangle was like a quiet eye, shining brightly in his palm, "This is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows."
…………
"So, that's the end of it, isn't it?"
On a bright sunny afternoon, during the wonderful tea time, arry sat in the principal's office, on the principal's favorite sofa, sitting opposite the principal, enjoying the high-quality black tea prepared for him by the principal. The black-haired boy took a quiet sip before blinking and answering.
"Of course we escaped." Ari blinked and said obediently, "That's the end of the matter, sir. That person didn't make things difficult for us, and we didn't need to resist that person. I took him back to Shengmang Ge, because their strength was exhausted, both of them fell asleep."
——The statement 'falling asleep from exhaustion of strength' is of course false.
You can't even use magic spells in that tower, and moving the territory may consume arry's strength but cause nothing but psychological problems.
However, out of some considerations, Larry chose to hide this matter from Erik and the others. As soon as he arrived at the place, he ordered his friend's head to fall asleep, and he fell down with a thud. Of course, the parents took them away separately, but the triangular pendant was secretly hidden by arry.
The pendant is now placed on the table in front of Dubledre, with the back facing up, and some of the fine inscriptions on it have been scratched and blurred.
"arry, what I want to know is, how did you know that Nurmengard is there?" Dubledre asked with a smile, adding a cup of tea to the boy's cup.
"This is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, isn't it?" arry pointed to the pendant, "I can't even cast a spell, which means there is confinement magic in that place, and it looks like a prison. I'm outside. After looking at it, in addition to seeing the logo of the German Ministry of Magic, what I heard was either German or Russian... It is not difficult at all to contact Nurmengard."
Dubledre nodded: "You are very smart... but promise me, arry, the next time you encounter this situation, you will not act rashly." He touched his white beard, "You never know when an emergency will happen. occur."
"It's okay, I don't think the old man will attack us," said Larry calmly, "He seems to know Gwart's school uniform, principal, he won't do anything to us."
They should be tacitly aware of this.
It's not like he didn't know who the old man was - based on his school uniform, Harry felt that the old man couldn't do the evil thing of strangling a student with one hand.
But to be honest, in a society where wizards are so rare, if there is really someone who strangles a child to death for no reason...arry secretly thought that he was probably either overfed or insane, and the old man looked like both. no.
Dubledre smiled and nodded.
"Are you still used to it after returning to school?" Dubledre suddenly asked, "I know that students always like to listen to rumors... Since the real situation cannot be tested, I think your life should be affected. .”
"Um...well, I don't feel anything." arry replied dryly.
The St. Mungo's incident actually caused a bloody storm, and the Ministry of Magic once again strengthened the security of Azkaban - to be honest, it was really shameful to be escaped from prison again and again.
arry was ordered by Arle and Erik to rest at home for a period of time. In their opinion, the dust in Britain has not yet settled, and no magic can compare to arry's body and mind. At first, arry could only rely on a double-sided mirror and write letters to communicate with his classmates. Later, all the newly purchased double-sided mirrors were collected.
And their decision was indeed the right one——
——arry heard four pieces of news the next day. First, the crazy Beltrilet Range attacked Neville when she was unconscious. Neville, who could not hold the wand safely, poured the magic potion he brought on her in desperation - it was indeed extremely powerful, and the rapidly growing vines directly The Dark Lord's most effective female subordinate was stabbed and hung outside. Secondly, the Ministry of Magic trumpeted this heroic act, saying that it was very likely to award Neville the Order of Merlin, and hinted at how ruthless R and his family were when they refused to 'just come forward and have a conversation with the prisoner'; thirdly, In the end, he received no punishment, but he would not be able to leave St. Mungo's for a while. Fourth, the Dark Lord's attempt to resurrect should have caused an uproar, but because the last metal box was missing, the Ministry of Magic suppressed the matter.
Before the dust settled, he had a big fight with his father for the first time because he was not allowed to contact arry. In the end, Luiualy, who always valued his face, sent a shouting letter directly in his busy schedule. Although due to lack of evidence and his wife also being a hostage, he escaped once again while a small group of pure-blood wizards became the new residents of Azkaban, but his face and situation were badly beaten, as well as his pride His self-esteem did not allow him to continue to let his son be friends with Arryavier. The wording of the howling letter was very cryptic, but it clearly asked him to 'choose the right friends who are worthy of making friends, and stay away from those who will cause trouble'.
Not to be outdone, the roaring letter reprimanded him, and the roaring letter reprimanded him again, and the roaring letter reprimanded him again, and he continued to reprimand. After finishing the whole reprimand, he burned the letter to ashes. You can imagine how angry he was.
"It wasn't us who was wrong about this matter from beginning to end! It was you!" He didn't say more in the auditorium, but his words were shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.
It was rn and arry who told arry the news truthfully. The former almost choked to death, and the latter laughed half to death.
"You should really look at Nape's face. His face turned green when he saw Aly stand up and yell at the shouting letter! I dare say that he is definitely responsible for that letter!"
This is rn's testimony.
"His father was very angry. I heard that he cut off his pocket money supply, but his mother secretly sent him something, so you don't have to worry."
This is what I said to the senior students.
"He finally stopped being timid for once! What a boy!"
In order to piss off his brother-in-law, Iriu bought his nephew a broom and a large bag of gadgets and sent them to the school. It is said that he even went to complain to Naria, who was having an abortion, to complain about how ruthless Luiu's father was. This was the first time I had received love from my uncle. When I told arry about my feelings afterward, I thought it was "so messed up", but looking at his expression, he seemed to feel like he was dreaming.
During this period, it is like a balloon, very easy to explode.
The "Daily Prophet" promoted the bravery of killing Death Eaters, while he yelled that the Ministry of Magic was evading the important and taking the light out of context. When he saw Neville's face, he wanted to spit it out, which increased the pressure on the round-faced boy. In ten days Lost more than ten pounds;
The Ministry of Magic said in public that r's guardian beat up the Ministry of Magic officials, and that he ridiculed the Aurors (the plural was pronounced with the accent) to bully the many and get punished by the Muggles;
The Ministry of Magic hinted in the newspaper that R's caregiver was probably a dark wizard who had never been seen before. He slapped the table and scolded these shameless losers! A blood-sucking insect that only takes gold galleons and doesn't do any work! If wizards' tax payments are used to bribe newspapers to write nonsense, then what else does Britain have to be proud of? !
Pany saw that he was not in a good mood, so she ordered a lot of cakes for him. In the morning, she was still eating cakes made by her mother. After seeing the cakes given by the girl, she told pany to get away. Don't think that his waist would be affected by her. Her little scheme became as big as hers.
Pany ran away crying.
——All in all, during this period, it was quite inelegant and quite disrespectful of face. And he even got up early every day. The sound of leaving the dormitory was so loud that even the others couldn't sleep well. This made arry stunned. If there wasn't a football game on the weekend, he wouldn't have slept until ten o'clock on any day. .
"If you can, please come back soon. He doesn't like anyone during this period. I've really had enough of this low pressure."
This is Bie's request that was sent together with a certain senior's letter. His words were elegant and the meaning was cryptic, but after removing the rhetorical modifications, arry knew that this was what he meant.
In the end, even Zhang Qiu asked him if he wanted her to recommend some prescriptions or recipes for reducing internal heat. She felt that if a boy of this age continued like this, his tongue might get angry and cause blisters, which would hurt by then. .
During that time, arry was looking forward to letters coming from England every day. Anyway, it was so rare and fun to not be timid. It was a pity that he was not in Gwart.
After he finally went to Gwart, the dust had long since settled. When they saw him again, the students were just surprised that the scar on his head had completely disappeared, and then muttered a few words in secret - to be honest, no one dared I asked him directly to arry, because the terrible classmate aly was inseparable from arry every day.
Although some people think that arry and his family are too timid or too ruthless, others think that although r once defeated the dark lord, he is still a w. He is not as brave as neville, who fights the death eaters. There are also people Criticized arry's family... But with Neville's firm and repeated protests, and several fierce outbursts of reprimands and finding faults, the storm gradually subsided.
arry threw himself into the library wholeheartedly - the final exam was not far away, not to mention that he had dropped the class? And he still has things to think about (such as the red magic stone. Ank also said that he will take the physics and chemistry test during the holiday. He also feels that he cannot give up his studies because of magic, so he still has to review basic science and mathematics, which is a heavy burden. Shen Shen.
One word is not enough to describe the number of review subjects he had to review. All the unrelated people who wanted to find Arryavier could only see his hurried back holding his schoolbag.
"What? Looking for arry? What are you looking for! Are you responsible for your ranking in the final exam? Oh no, with your grades, I'm afraid you can't take the responsibility at all, right?"
Everyone who came to Aly and asked where Ary was got such an unpleasant reply. When he said these words, he raised his chin high, raised his eyebrows with disdain, and his tone was more bitter than before. He snorted and turned away.
This made his reputation even worse.
"Well... I think you can try your luck in the w lounge."
This is the answer of the same person who rushes towards the great cause of review without a trace.
Principal Dubledre who also wanted to talk to someone, how should I say, called arry and said that he is worthy of being the principal - Principal Dubledre is very considerate in this regard, but after so many things happened, he only called him to the principal after arry finished the exam. room for tea.
"Ah, by the way, this," arry took out a box from his schoolbag, "is for you - thank you for your Christmas gift, but I can't come up with anything precious to give you..." He said sheepishly He scratched his face and said cheerfully, "I hope you like this, sir."
"Thank you for your gift, arry," Dubledre said happily, "Then I won't keep you any longer - the transcript should have been posted. Congratulations, you got third place."
"What, the results are already out?! No wonder there were so many people in the corridor when I came here!" Larry jumped up from his seat in surprise. He rubbed his hands and said with a grin, "Thank you, sir, I'll go right away. Look! Have a great holiday!”
After saying that, he put the small box on the table and ran out of the principal's office.
In less than three seconds, he ran back again.
"By the way, sir," arry gasped, "this... this gift is a suggestion someone gave me. Well, I mean... I think he wants you to go see him."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Dubledre was stunned for a moment, then his expression softened. He watched arry's figure disappear behind the door, then lowered his head, pulled the box, and tapped the wand on it, and the red bow was untied.
"Oh haha...Is that so..."
He put on his glasses and took out the pair of fluffy wool socks from the box.
"This is...the first time I have received wool socks in so many years."
Looking at the cartoon lion neatly knitted with golden wool, he sighed and said with a smile.
