Hogwarts Homecoming

puff--

Before the squeezed air had time to make a crisp explosion, it was blown away by the strong wind on the top of the mountain and turned into a slight sound of deflation of the balloon.

The two people who appeared on the top of the mountain looked back at the same time, looking at the beautiful scenery of the village of Ottery Saint Catchpol.

Viewed from a high distance, the village looks like a collection of toy houses scattered among the huge beams of light slanting towards the ground between the clouds.

Both men tried to find the 'well-swept broom shed' they had just left.

However, the distance and the clear moonlight made the house that stood alone at the foot of the village look like one of the waves in the endless sea, making it impossible to distinguish it.

The two gentlemen withdrew their gaze and looked at the house that stood like a black pillar between the adjacent hillsides.

Obviously they could disapparate and go directly, but the two people who had not communicated showed a tacit understanding. They picked up their feet and walked towards the house.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to express my regret to you, Lucius--"

Although he was walking down the mountain, every step Adam took in the strong wind was steady. This was not an easy thing for a person of his age.

"I heard that after the Battle of Diagon Alley, the Dark Lord took your wand."

"Where does this begin?"

Lucius Malfoy still had an indifferent expression on his face, pointing at the stone house with an indifferent gaze. There was a trace of unnoticed hidden worry hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"My wand was chosen by the Dark Lord as a sign of his trust in me. I'm afraid you still can't understand that this is a supreme honor for those of us who are loyal to the Dark Lord."

"Ah, sorry-"

Adam said, but there was no apology in his tone. He glanced at Lucius' cane, with an impeccable smile on his face,

"So, whose wand are you using now?"

Lucius' cold face finally showed a hint of sinisterness.

"My wife Narcissa. That's no problem. The Dark Lord has not forbidden me from finding another wand for myself."

"Obviously so-"

Adam smiled and nodded.

The stronger wind rushed towards the two of them, and both Lucius and Adam had to stop their steps and raise their arms to resist for a while.

"I think the Dark Lord might not understand why either-"

The wind stopped and the two started again.

Adam seemed to be in a lively conversation, and he said with interest,

"I also heard about what happened at the Dark Lord's resurrection ceremony, and at the end of this war. Harry Potter's wand seemed to be restraining the Dark Lord's wand.

The Dark Lord seemed to think that Brain's power was not enough to be feared.

But he didn't understand where Harry Potter's power came from. He thought he had overcome the protection given to him by the boy's mother. But the result was nothing more than an accident, so now he is eager to understand the secrets of the Department of Mysteries. That prophecy. "

Adam talked eloquently, but Lucius was only filled with vigilance.

He was not very familiar with this man who joined halfway, but these words just now were not something he could say casually.

Is this a clue? Are you testing?

The level of vigilance in Lucius's heart has increased yet again!

"I must remind you not to speculate on the master's wisdom and power--"

Lucius carefully stepped on the slippery lawn every step he took, just as he had been walking on thin ice for the rest of his life, he had to think more about every step he took.

"Whether it's Amosta Brain or that Harry Potter, they all survived in the hands of their masters because of luck. The final accident of the Battle of Diagon Alley might have been left behind by the cunning Dumbledore. Backhand--"

"Oh, hehe, Lucius, you are as cunning as the rumors say--"

Adam laughed and shook his head.

"I just think that you are the wisest among the many followers of the Dark Lord, so I discuss my views on some things with you."

"Thank you for your appreciation,"

They were already in the yard near Lovegood's house, and the worry in Lucius's eyes deepened, but he couldn't show it.

The guy next to him is a very smart and sharp wizard, to some extent, even more difficult to deal with than the Dark Lord.

"But maybe you don't have enough understanding of us. The Dark Lord's Death Eaters are all the most outstanding wizards in this country. Each of them has powerful magic power and commendable wisdom, but compared with the great Dark Lord , we were left in despair.”

Lucius's answer was spotless.

"Oh, haha, humility is a virtue, but excessive humility will appear hypocritical, my dear Lucius——"

As he approached the yard, Adam also lowered his voice. He looked at the house coldly and spoke softly,

"I'm sure that except for you, the other Death Eaters can't think of using those trash that are not even as clever as magical animals to seduce Bones out of the layers of protection, but I do have a little doubt-"

Standing in front of the courtyard gate, Adam turned sideways and looked at Lucius with a pleasant expression.

"This is obviously your idea, but you didn't show much interest tonight?"

"People who are no different from Muggles make me sick--"

Lucius had expected this question, and he answered calmly,

"The Dark Lord knows that I'm not good at dealing with these lowly people, so he asked you to join this plan, didn't he?

Okay, let's go in and see if the girl really broke into the meeting intentionally as you said. "

Lucius pulled out his wand from his cane.

Disappointment flashed across Adam's eyes.

Most of the Dark Lord's Death Eaters were a group of thugs who simply enjoyed killing and violence. There were not many people like Lucius Malfoy who could remain rational and calm.

He intended to establish a deeper friendship with Lucius, but Lucius seemed very wary of him.

Adam also drew out his wand, and after hiding himself with the Disillusionment Charm like Lucius, he gently tapped the wooden door handle with his wand.

"It's so comfortable"

Seeing that the door handle did not respond, Adam smiled softly.

Lucius understood what he meant.

The magic world is now in a state of open warfare, and ordinary wizards live in fear every day, fearing that they will come to their door at any time.

But unexpectedly, the Lovegood family was completely defenseless against their own house.

The wooden door was pushed open silently by the breeze, and all kinds of magical plants rustling in the wind appeared in front of the two.

After a check, there were no traps either.

Click, click, click--

Mr. Lovegood did not go back to his bedroom to rest. He fell asleep on the workbench in front of the window sill, and the weird printer behind him was spraying out color pages.

Adam picked up a color page floating on the ground and looked at it carefully in the moonlight, his eyes revealing confusion.

The two of them floated up to the third floor like ghosts and quietly opened Luna's room.

Three women of different ages were sleeping on the big bed in the room.

A girl of several years old curled up in her mother's arms, with an innocent smile on her lips. And the mother's arms were around her daughter, and judging from her snoring, she was sleeping very sweetly.

The only one left was Luna.

She lay on her side facing the window.

The fluttering curtains occasionally opened the gap to let the moonlight sprinkle on her fair cheeks.

Compared with when she was awake, Luna looked less crazy and showed a bit of ladylike quietness.

In addition to magic books and Hogwarts summer homework, there was also a self-made bonsai on the desk.

Lucius bent down and squinted at the bonsai.

A magic wand was inserted into the soil as a support, with some thin vines climbing on it.

Adam also came over, and the two looked at the magic wand and were silent for a while.

It seems that the girl's intrusion into their party was just an accident.

But——

Adam turned around with a cold look, looked at the girl in the moonlight, and slowly raised his arm.

Lucius's face changed slightly, and he immediately pressed Adam's wrist.

When did the Death Eaters learn to be merciful?

Lucius read this sentence from Adam's eyes.

Don't forget John Cena down the mountain. It is not wise to kill his wife and daughter at this time.

Lucius moved his lips and said softly.

Adam's eyes shook, and finally dropped the magic wand.

The breeze disturbed, and the two disappeared in the room.

The moonlight ripples like clear water on the walls of the room. Silently, the girl on the bed has opened her silver eyes.
