Chapter 160 Six Accidents
In southern Germany, in a silent forest.
"This is it?" A tall and thin gray-robed man pointed to a small wooden house that suddenly appeared in the forest.
Another taller and thinner wizard took off his hood. It was Dumbledore.
"That's right, my old friend Aigudo lives here, and he was the one who made the magic item that was made according to your request last time."
The gray-robed man nodded and took off his hood. It was Skool.
"That's good."
Knock on the door, and after waiting for a while, a cursing skinny goblin opened the door. He first glanced at Dumbledore, and then stared at the earhook on Skool's ear.
With a look of satisfaction in his eyes, Aigudo kicked the door open completely very rudely.
"Come on in, what's the matter? You old thing is fine and won't come to me?"
Two large oak barrels suddenly appeared in the air. Dumbledore directed the two barrels to fall to the ground. Aigudo's eyes lit up, and he climbed up and opened the cork of one of the barrels.
A strong bouquet.
"Damn, 50 years old wine?" Aigudo jumped to the floor and kicked the metal lump on the ground, "Quickly, quickly, what's the matter?"
Dumbledore looked at Scull.
Pulling out his wand, Skool put a wooden box on his back on the ground and knocked on it.The box was burst open by the things inside.
A strong smell of animal blood spread in the hut.Aigudo screamed, and then frantically picked up the purple fur of some kind of animal on the ground.
"Oh, old thing? What did you do?" Aigudo said roughly, but his movements were extremely gentle as he stroked the fleshy fur, "I haven't seen such a complete and fresh horned camel's fur for many years. .”
He raised his head and glanced at Dumbledore and Scull suspiciously, "According to this level of freshness? You killed an adult horned llama yesterday?" After speaking, he shook his head in disbelief, "Haha, it's impossible, Old man, I admit that your ability is not bad, but just the two of you? Want to kill a horned camel that can't be killed by a troll with such a small trauma?"
"Mr. Egudo," Scull began, "regardless of how the horned camel's hide was obtained. I think . . . "
Aigudo waved his hand irritably, and grabbed the fur tightly with the other hand, "I know, you want to make armor? Humph, I didn't say that, I'm the only elf that still retains armor making skills! This Pizi, I want half of it."
Scull frowned all of a sudden, "Mr. Aigudo? What do you think? I'll give you some more money..."
"Who cares about those stinky money!" Aigudo jumped up and pulled the fur into the room, "Do you understand what such a complete horned camel fur means?"
He held up four fingers and said with puffy eyes, "Four sets of leather armor! Half a year! Half of leather! Ten thousand Galleons!" After speaking loudly, he glanced at Dumbledore again, "If it weren't for This old thing brought you here, I will hack this skin today! Are you going to do it or not?"
He dragged his fur and walked a few more steps into the room, and said impatiently, "You wizards have ruined all the good things, I have to deal with it quickly!"
Scull frowned and looked at Dumbledore. Although Dumbledore had said that Aigudo was a bad-tempered goblin before, but now.
Dumbledore nodded secretly.
"Okay," Scull compromised, "but Mr. Aigudo, half a year is too long! Can you compress the time, this is very important!"
Aigudo widened his already big eyes, as if he wanted to eat Skur, he growled at Skul, "This is armor! Do you know what the armor is for?"
"Sorry," Scull bowed slightly to Aigudo, "Can you please compress the time, up to three months."
Aigudo's chest heaved violently a few times, and then he gritted his teeth and said viciously, "You wizards! Wizards!! Thirty thousand Galleons! Keep the money, get out! It will come in three months. The effect will be announced in due course! "
"Thank you, old friend." Dumbledore said politely.
Aigudo glanced at Dumbledore, then looked at Dumbledore's withered arm, blew his beard and snorted angrily.
Skool placed an anonymous private account Gringotts withdrawal slip on the only corner-missing table in the hut.
As soon as he went out, the rickety wooden door slammed shut, and then the chimney of the hut began to emit strange green smoke.
"He'll do his best," said Dumbledore.
Scull nodded in agreement, "I probably understand from the way he is protecting his fur. How do you know him? Don't elves have always had a dislike for human wizards?"
"Ah, it's a long story to tell. Anyway, I saved his life by chance."
The Easter holiday is over, and Hogwarts Castle is bustling again.
In winter, some tender green shoots sprouted from the trees that have fallen off their leaves. The snow on the top of the mountain has all melted. And more and more.
One morning in mid-March, Ann and Fanny walked to the Slytherin table side by side. When they passed by the junior students, Balcomb greeted them both. Smiling and nodding towards Balcomb.
"Ann, Balcomb is really good. He is improving very quickly every time he trains. We have won these few games. It seems that the Quidditch Cup this school year must belong to our academy."
"Yeah, yeah." Ann patted Fanny on the shoulder, "It's all because of you as a great strategist! Every time I go to practice, the fans of the Slytherin team can be said to be at the peak of history now— —”
"Let you make fun of me..." Fanny rubbed Ann's hair abruptly, and then ran away immediately.
Ann shook her hair, just smiled, and walked towards her position without changing her pace. Of course, when she walked halfway, she didn't forget to cast a glance at the Gryffindor table, and smiled tacitly at Hermione.
Sitting down, An served a plate of toast with shrimp paste and a glass of milk.
Countless owls carrying letters or packages landed all over the restaurant.
Fanny took off the "Daily Prophet" on the leg of a yellow-headed eagle in a good mood, "A few days ago, an operation by the Ministry of Magic captured the three Death Eaters. I don't know what will happen today information."
Anming smiled knowingly, and said meaningfully, "Yeah, it seems that the Ministry of Magic is doing a good job—"
Momo landed in front of An with a letter in his mouth, and An muttered strangely, "Hey, why did Dinah and Aaron think of writing to me together?"
Pushing a small piece of pie in front of Mo Mo, An picked up the milk and opened the letter with one hand while drinking.
As soon as Fanny unfolded the "Daily Prophet", she couldn't help but exclaimed, and many other students in the restaurant who had subscribed to the "Daily Prophet" also let out screams of fear.
"Ann! It's terrible!" Fanny couldn't help reading out, "From the dark abyss—the revenge of the mysterious man?"
In the middle of the "Daily Prophet" is a large photo, a dark devil symbol floating in the air, the streets are full of muggles fleeing with their heads in their arms, and behind them is a burning street.
"According to the latest news from this newspaper yesterday, an attack by Death Eaters took place near a Muggle Richmond Secondary School in the West End of London. According to preliminary statistics from the Muggle World Police Department at Chimead Middle School, a total of 37 Muggle students were killed and more than 100 students were injured..."
"Obviously, this is the mysterious person's revenge for the last incident of catching Death Eaters...A wizard who did not want to be named said in an interview with this newspaper..."
However, the buzzing discussion in the restaurant was immediately interrupted by a sharp, sudden sound of glasses and plates breaking.
"Ann?" cried Fanny, terrified.
The glass containing the milk was completely crushed by An An, and the glass shards were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood. White milk mixed with bright red blood dripped onto the table, and the nearby dinner plate seemed to have been hit by an invisible hammer. , shattered.
Ann didn't seem to feel the pain, but instead tightened her fists, her eyes fixed on the letter held in her right hand.
Snape came down from the teacher's seat like the wind, glanced quickly, and said with a complicated expression, "The magic is out of control, Charles, please take Stoke to the school hospital."
Many college students raised their heads, or stood up and looked at the Slytherin table.But he sat down again after a while, and Snape's cold eyes were not something anyone could bear.
Hermione stood up immediately, and when she saw Fanny pulling Ann away, she dropped her knife and fork and followed without hesitation.
When she saw Ann's bloody left hand, Hermione took a deep breath.
But An didn't notice it, she looked dazed and dazed.
"What happened?" Hermione asked worriedly, not afraid of the glass shards pricking her hand, she stretched out her hand to hold Ann's left hand to prevent Ann from clenching her fist, because some big glass shards were about to penetrate the palm, " Relax, Ann—"
"I don't know. I just read the first page of the Daily Prophet. Ah, Ann received a letter..."
"hiss--"
When her blank brain recovered, An couldn't help but gasped.
Madam Pomfrey just used tweezers to remove the last shard of glass stuck between the bones of her hand, and then quickly applied a thick layer of white plaster.
Jill is dead.
This is what Aaron wrote in his letter.
Richmond Secondary School.
Ann still remembers Jill's uncontrollable excitement when she wrote her a letter telling Ann that she had been admitted to this high school.
"I'm now the top student you mentioned, Ann, which university do you want to go to? Maybe we can go to a university in the future?"
"This dessert double skin milk really tastes good, Ann, how did you come up with it?"
Realizing this again, An instantly turned pale, and bit her lower lip tightly.
revenge.
Words in the Daily Prophet are like a sharpened knife.
"install--"
As soon as Madam Pomfrey walked away, Hermione couldn't help reaching out to caress Anne's biting lips as she sat on the edge of the hospital bed.
Sniffing, An felt extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't express the churning emotions in her heart.
Without thinking, Ann hugged Hermione, buried her face in her neck, and Ann sniffed again.
Fanny drew the curtain, and although Madam Pomfrey shut the door of the others who followed, there were still some students lying down in the school hospital.
Hermione patted Ann on the back lightly.Didn't ask anything.
"Jill, she's dead."
Hermione and Fanny exchanged glances. They had both read the Daily Prophet this morning.Richmond Secondary School.It's just that they didn't expect such a coincidence.
Both of them knew very well that if there was an important person in Ann's past in the Muggle world, it was Jill.They all had a crush on the Muggle that Ann said would spend all her pocket money to keep Ann from coming to Hogsmeade to study.
Both Hermione and Fanny didn't know what to say for a moment, and at this moment, all words seemed so powerless.Hermione just hugged Ann tighter.
The door of the school hospital creaked open.Fanny and Hermione frowned at the noise coming from outside.Madam Pomfrey hurried to the door, and after a while, she led three people in.
Dumbledore walked in with Dinah and Aaron who looked worried.
Fanny looked over her head, and then said in a low voice, "Ann, here comes your Uncle Aaron and Aunt Dinah."
"Don't..." Ann muttered with red eyes.
Hermione didn't intend to let go of Ann at all, she patted Ann's tense back comfortingly, "I won't let go, Ann."
"Xiao An—" Aaron's voice was deep and hoarse, and there was a lot of self-blame. What happened yesterday kept him awake all night. He was also involved in the operation of the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. What happened like this He also had a hard time getting through the matter.
The remorse in Aaron's tone.An heard clearly that this time, An's last line of defense was broken.
"sorry…."
Big tears fell down.
The author has something to say:
horned camel
Rarely found in mountainous regions of Europe.The horned camel has a huge body, and its whole body is purple with a little gray.It has a raised back, two very sharp long horns on its head, and walks on big feet with four fingers.Horned camels are extremely aggressive by nature, and wizards can occasionally see mountain trolls riding horned camels in an attempt to tame them.But they don't seem to be happy in their hearts.So it's not a surprise to see a troll covered in scars from llamas.Powdered horn camel horns can be used in a variety of potions, but due to the difficulty of obtaining their horns, the powder is extremely expensive.A horned camel's hide is even stronger than that of a dragon, and most spells are invulnerable to it.
