A magical journey that begins in Azkaban

The Flash Apparition House in Diagon Alley has customers coming in and out from time to time. Sophie behind the counter was holding a stack of pictures, hesitating which one to put on the chessboard.

When she heard a customer coming in, she said without raising her head: "The camera is on the left, the materials are on the right, and the lens is inside. Look at the price tag, and the checkout will be automatic after you select it."

"Automatic checkout?" The red-haired wizard seemed to be here for the first time and had no idea what automatic checkout was.

"Just run the label over the scanner and put the money into the cash box next to it." Susan said without looking back, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she put the picture of the dark wizard Sipley on the chessboard.

"Scan it?" The guest was stunned. Seeing the two people who were addicted to playing cards, he had no choice but to give it a try.

"Hey, you really know how to change money automatically!" The red-haired wizard looked at the change that jumped out of the box, 3 Sickles and 6 Knights, no more and no less.

"Just right! It's so interesting." He smiled and picked up the product with the label cut off, looking curiously at the light and shadow of the wizards fighting on the chessboard.

The picture disintegrated into light spots over the chessboard, and a vivid wizard soldier stood on the chessboard. He looked exactly like in the picture, drawing his wand and attacking Jessica's wizard.

Sipri moved very quickly and quickly chanted the incantation to remove your weapons at the opponent. Artemisia, who had been fighting fiercely for a long time, was hit by the curse, and the wand in her hand fell down.

"What is this? Wizard's chess?"

"Magic cricket fight, alas..." Rogge came over and sighed deeply. He should not have promised Sophie to make her a toy to relieve her boredom.

Jessica and she were completely obsessed with it, just like some parents who played mahjong in their previous lives. Her children had all returned home from school, and she didn't even know.

"Cricket?"

"Oh, a kind of creature. You can simply understand it as a beast chess."

"Beast fighting chess?" the red-haired wizard muttered, always feeling that the name was strange.

"It looks interesting to me. Where did you buy the chessboard?"

"Make it yourself, don't sell it!" The battle on the chessboard reached a critical moment, and Sophie nervously held her hand tightly.

Artemisia, who lost her wand, did not admit defeat. She took a few steps back and quickly disappeared from the chessboard.

"Eh? Where did you go?" The red-haired wizard looked at the chessboard and became obsessed with it.

Suddenly, a huge fist struck Sipri. It turns out that Artemisia can cast spells silently without a wand and decide the outcome with her fists.

Susan's wizard quickly dodged, and his fist hit the chessboard, leaving a hole.

"Oh my god, so awesome!" the red-haired wizard exclaimed, is this still a cartoon?

Artemisia, who once again lost the initiative, had to face Cypri's counterattack.

Sipri gathered enough energy and fired a splitting spell.

boom!

Artemisia was instantly blown up on the chessboard, turned into a picture and flew away. Jessica, whose winning streak was ended, looked at the chessboard unwillingly and quickly checked the remaining pictures.

"Jessica, we agreed! The failed cartoon of the same name can no longer be shown!" Susan stretched out her hand and won over Artemisia just now.

"Ahem, I'm on vacation!" Looking at the two of them, Rogge had given up hope of their welcome.

"The camera is..."

"I said I was on holiday!" Roger rapped his knuckles on the table, and Jessica and Sophie raised their heads.

"Roger!" Susan turned her head and shouted in surprise, "Would you like to play a game of beast chess?"

"Uh..." Rogge was stunned for a moment, almost hallucinating Susan's words as: Do you want to play Gwent cards?

"Son, are you on holiday? What day is it today?" Jessica stood up quickly and kissed him twice on the cheek.

"Give me your picture quickly, Susan has won all my pictures..."

"It turns out that I'm not as popular as my paintings..."

"Roger, the automatic cash register is so easy to use! Now I'm not afraid of miscalculation~"

"You can buy a macaw, and you don't even need to say welcome next time." Rogge said angrily. Sophie's eyes widened after hearing this.

"Yes! You are so smart!" Susan said excitedly, as if she had discovered a new world: "I'll go to the Magic Zoo and ask about it."

"Okay son, it's mom's fault, I forgot you have a holiday today." Jessica pinched her son's face and coaxed him like a baby.

"Ahem..." Rogge's old face turned red, and his body's age became more and more obvious.

"Um, do you sell your chessboard?" The red-haired wizard pointed at the chessboard and asked before he left.

"Maybe later." Rogge answered uncertainly.

"Great, this is my address. Please write to me when the chessboard is on sale! I have collected a lot of pictures, and they are finally coming out!" The red-haired wizard excitedly tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve and wrote While talking.

Seeing the other person turning his head three times with each step made Rogge feel embarrassed.

"Actually, I want to tell him that we have paper." Jessica shook her head and opened the book next to her. It was full of addresses left by the wizard.

"So many!?" Rogge didn't expect that the chessboard he made casually would be so popular. It turned out that the wizards couldn't resist the paper figures coming out.

"No, people ask about it almost every day. By the way, son, you have to give him a name quickly."

"How about wizard chess? No, wizard chess is similar to Muggle chess." Jessica shook her head. The name was suitable but it had already been taken.

"No matter what, it can't be called Beast Fighting Chess, let alone Magic Cricket Fighting."

"Then let's call it Auto Chess. The chessboard is flying!" Rogge chanted the spell and put it into the traceless expansion pack.

Anyway, this is 1992, and Muggles don't have this kind of game yet. As for the pictures that were taken away at the same time, I'm sorry, I didn't see them.

"Son, why did you take it away?"

"The chessboard still needs to be renovated. Don't worry, it will be done before school starts."

"Really, the clerk at the Magic Zoo told me that they only sell magical creatures." Susan said with a frustrated look, and looked at Roger longingly.

"Roger, why don't you make a mechanical parrot? Then you don't have to feed it~"

"I'm learning alchemy knowledge, not mechanical knowledge. You might as well go home and go to a pet shop in London to ask." Roger shook his head and firmly rejected Susan's unreasonable thoughts.

"Ah, I still have to teach the parrot to speak." Susan sighed and sent Jessica and Roger away. She glanced back at the table and saw that the chessboard and pictures were gone.

"Roger!..."

In the villa garden by the Thames River, Jessica brought over the French food she made by herself.

"Try it quickly. This is an authentic French dish. I bought all the raw materials from France." Jessica said, putting the sliced ​​Alsace foie gras on the plate in front of her son. The mother and son had been waiting for a long time. No more meals together.

"It's delicious!" Roger took a bite, and the tender and soft foie gras melted on the tip of his tongue. It's like eating a plump cloud, the silky smoothness of liver fat and the mellow flavor of liver fill your mouth and nose.

Rogge couldn't help but take another piece. The layer upon layer of aroma was irresistible.

"Your mother, I'm a good cook. If you weren't on holiday, I wouldn't be too lazy to cook it for you."

"Tch, you obviously didn't pick me up at the station." Rogge ate all the foie gras on the plate and wanted to pick it up and lick it again.

"Mom, isn't Lestrange the surname of a British wizard family? Why do you say that grandpa seems to be from France?" Rogge took this opportunity and asked quickly.

"Although we are all Lestranges, it doesn't matter." Jessica didn't think too much and told Rogge about the origins of the two families.

"Your grandfather belongs to the Corvis bloodline, a direct line of the family. The British Lestrange belongs to the Radolphs bloodline, a branch of the family."

"But the two families have been separated for more than 200 years, and there is no relationship between them. For example, after your grandfather passed away, I never went to France again."

"Now, apart from the same surname, the only thing we have in common is the crow coat of arms. Why do you ask this suddenly? Did you meet someone from the Lestrange family at school?" Jessica looked at her son in confusion. There must be something wrong with Ge's understanding.

Rogge thought about the relationship between Voldemort and Bella, and then thought that Bella's husband also had a surname of Lestrange, and reluctantly said: "That's right."

Speaking of the crow emblem, Rogge quickly called out his patron saint: "Mom, look at my patron saint!"

The silver raven flew out of the wand and fell into Jessica's hand at Rogge's signal.

"Raven?!" Jessica was slightly surprised. No wonder Rogge suddenly asked Lestrange.

"I just said that if my son is so handsome, he must follow me. Hum, this is the proof!" Jessica smiled happily, her eyes full of memories.

"A crow won't peck another crow's eye." Jessica spread her hands gently, and the raven flew back and forth in the garden.

Yumi, Diana, and Sailor saw their glowing friend and curiously played with it.

"This is the French Lestrange family motto, which means never betraying each other. But you don't have to care about them." Jessica's meaning is very clear. If one day she encounters a hostile Lestrange member, no need to Hesitate and show no mercy. If it needs to be done, do it.

"I forgot to write to tell you something. The manor in Ireland has been burglarized again." Jessica laughed happily as she watched her son sweep away the dishes.

"Thief?" Rogge sat in a wicker chair and rubbed his belly. What kind of wizard would go to their shabby house?
