harry potter book of crimes

It has to be said that Miss Parkinson failed as a spy. But her series of fooling around was not completely useless.

Since Maka had no idea of ​​Helbo's plan, Pansy's various behaviors undoubtedly became a hidden troublemaker, and unknowingly, she muddied the entire situation.

And this was obviously something that even Maka had not expected.

However, as one of the key personnel in the entire "Operation Shitstick", the fairy-mixed-blood witch Iluli not only knew nothing about all this, but also got into another trouble on her own initiative.

It is now late at night, and it has been more than six hours since I was locked up in this solitary room.

Since the Flint family did not prepare food for her today, she only ate three hard pieces of bread for lunch and dinner together - this little food was obviously not enough for her after a busy day.

of.

But at this moment, the secretly cramping stomach and the headache after using the goblin magic, coupled with the dizziness caused by Mrs. Flint's two slaps before, made her feel very clearly that she was gradually losing strength.

If she doesn't eat something, she will probably pass out again, right?

"Iluli...are you still awake?"

Suddenly, the young master's voice sounded from next door again.

"Well, you're still awake." Yiluli managed to cheer up and responded softly, "Young Master, please sleep for a while! Madam should let you out by tomorrow morning."

"Iluli?"

Her voice sounded a little erratic, and the other party immediately asked worriedly:

"Are you okay? Why... your voice is so soft?"

"Oh, I'm fine," Iluli said hurriedly and louder, "I'm just a little sleepy."

"That's good...that's good..."

After the young master next door confirmed that Eluli seemed fine, he finally seemed to be unable to resist sleepiness. After a while, a faint snoring sounded in the quiet space - he fell asleep quickly.

However, Iluli couldn't sleep.

Because she knew that if she fell asleep in her current state, it would be difficult to wake up in time. And if she hadn't woken up when the lady asked her to go out and continue questioning, then she wouldn't know where she would be next time she was called.

when……

No, who knows if there is a so-called "next time"?

However, as time passed by, and amidst the regular breathing of the young master next door, Iluli felt that her eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier.

The smell of moss in the air, mixed with the moisture from underground water, lingered in Eluli's mouth and nose, but it made her even more dizzy.

But just when she was about to faint again, another unfamiliar voice with a hint of familiarity suddenly sounded, pulling her back from the seemingly endless darkness.

"Iluli? Are you still awake? Just give me a shout if you are awake!"

This way of talking with a lot of impatience in the first sentence is a typical "Flint style". People who are familiar with it will know that it must be one of those "Flints".

.

"Is it... the eldest young master?" Yiluli forced her head to the side, with a little doubt in her tone, "It's so late, what are you doing down here?"

The "eldest young master" she refers to is naturally Marcus Flint, the Slytherin graduate with a pair of big teeth.

As Iluli was talking, she saw a piece of light suddenly appear behind her. The light from behind immediately lengthened her shadow and printed it on the opposite wall. As the angle changed little by little,

The ground moved from the left to the center.

"What do you think I am here for? Stupid maid... In addition to coming to you, is there any other reason? Could it be that I am still here to come to my cowardly brother?"

More than two years have passed since Marcus finally graduated from Hogwarts. But after two full years, his temper has not improved as he matured, but has become worse.

A bit worse.

Should I say that he deserves to be named Flint?

"The young master is not cowardly" - Although Iluli wanted to say this, she knew that she was in no position to say this. What's more, even if she said it to Marcus, she would only use more and more vicious words.

Taunting her and the young master.

"I understand," Iluli pursed her lips and said with some difficulty, "So... the young master came to me, do you have any orders?"

"Instructions?"

Marcus sneered, as if Iluli was not even qualified to do things for him.

"Listen, there is a rumor about the Ministry of Magic, and you must tell me the truth - I ask you, is the little witch who was rescued from the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic, is you?"

The reputation of the Flint family is indeed bad outside, but even if the pure-blood families at the same level don't want to pay attention to them, there will always be some small families who can't reach the top who want to praise their "stinky feet"

.

Therefore, as long as a lot of gold Galleons are spent, the Flint family has no shortage of information channels.

And from the slight connection between the time when the Ministry of Magic prisoners disappeared and the time when Iluli returned home, it is not surprising that anyone who pays attention to the Ministry of Magic can deduce certain possibilities from it.

To be honest, I can only blame Iluli because her body shape is so obvious that anyone who knows her would find it hard not to doubt her.

only……

"Young Master, you——"

Iluli was very surprised that Marcus noticed this.

In fact, she thought that basically no one in the Flint family was interested in the Ministry of Magic. Apart from occasionally contacting Hogwarts for the education of male offspring, this family almost lived on its own.

During my days, I rarely go out to mess around with the outside world.

In terms of whether this means knowing how to protect yourself prudently, or whether you are always unwilling to make progress? It is difficult to explain clearly the gains and losses involved.

After all, the Flint family has been doing pretty well until now, perhaps thanks to this low-key and neutral stance and attitude.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that every generation of heads of the Flint family has been female.

However, Marcus is different now.

When he was at Hogwarts, he liked to form cliques. In the next few years, he always hung out with Draco of the Malfoy family, and he obviously got the best of the benefits of being "cuddled up".

You know, although Draco is always suppressed in front of Maka, the Malfoy family behind him is still second to none among modern pure-blood families.

In the two years before and after Marcus graduated, the Malfoy family was in a state of decline, so much so that Marcus had to deliberately distance himself after graduation to avoid getting burned.

But how could Marcus, who had already tasted the benefits, be willing to be lonely again? He then thought about it and set his sights on the "official thigh" of the Ministry of Magic that had grown stronger after his friendship with Maka.

It's a pity that with his poor grades when he graduated, he had to be qualified to get close to him if he wanted to hug him!

So, Marcus got a deputy steward in the family and lived around all day, while he tried every possible means to figure out how to get into the Ministry of Magic.

Now, should we say that his hard work paid off? Or should we say that he just got lucky?

When he associated the fugitive from the Ministry of Magic with Iluli, the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that it was very possible - if Iluli could be handed over to the Ministry of Magic, maybe he could just use Flynn to

Is it possible to open the door of the Ministry of Magic by just using the name of the special family?

Tossing and turning like this, Marcus thought about it late at night in his bed, and finally couldn't help but go down to the confinement room overnight to try to confirm.

But it must be said that he was still too stupid after all.

Iluli may not be able to think of Marcus's thoughts, but as a wanted criminal from the Ministry of Magic who escaped from prison, is it possible for her to honestly admit it?

"Young Master, I have never been to the Ministry of Magic." Iluli quickly calmed down after being slightly surprised, "But, Master, when did you start to care about the Ministry of Magic? What if Madam knew about it?"

If so, you will definitely be very happy!”

"Huh," Marcus snorted immediately after hearing this, "Why, you don't admit it? As soon as the prisoners in the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic disappeared, you came back without knowing where you went in the middle of the night - how could it be such a coincidence?

thing!"

"But things are indeed such a coincidence, young master..."

Iluli was so weak at the moment that it was very difficult to even speak a word, but she had to continue talking like this.

"Young Master, I just went out to meet a friend, whom I met when I was out shopping. This time I came home late because I was too selfless chatting with my friend, so I made such a big mistake... I already know

wrong."

While she denied it, she also intentionally or unintentionally took the topic elsewhere. She hoped to dispel Marcus' suspicions and at least temporarily avoid getting entangled in the same topic.

Sure enough, after Marcus heard what she said, he immediately asked:

"Friend? Then tell me, who is your friend?"

This question was what Eluli expected him to ask, because she knew very well that Marcus and Pansy were classmates in the same college.

"It's Miss Parkinson," Iluli replied immediately, "I think you also know Master, she is Miss Pansy Parkinson of the Parkinson family!"

"What?"

Of course Marcus knows Pansy, he even remembers her appearance. Because Pansy was always by Draco's side at Hogwarts. Although Marcus didn't have much interaction with the rather unruly little girl,

We have talked, but we see each other often.

"Miss Parkinson?" He immediately said in astonishment, "As a servant, you can make friends with her who is full of arrogance? How is this possible!" (To be continued)
