super pocket watch

One can imagine what kind of subtle feeling Bellatrix had when she saw the back of a strange yet familiar man sitting on the soft chair in the living room early the next morning.

The residences of wizards, or the residences of wizards such as those she knows, are each protected by heavy magic, and then rely on the reinforcement and improvement of their ancestors to be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, even the houses of many old wizard families

It looks very shabby and incompatible with the beautiful houses of the new era, so few people would give it up.

For Bellatrix's class, that house is often more than just a house. It has a lot of value and meaning attached to it. Unless the family is bankrupt, or the family is in decline, no one can

They will choose to abandon their ancient houses. Even their descendants often do not live in them.

From the perspective of the class she belongs to, the older the house and the more complex the spells attached to it, the more precious and rare it is. Just like in the human world, there are always some people who like to use certain things to teach others

Express your own meaning and so on.

It's just that most humans choose books, antiques, works of art, etc., while wizards choose ancient houses that have been passed down for a long time, magic alchemy items, and some special magical creatures that are related to legends.

Most of these things have been artificially given a value that exceeds their own value. Although the collecting habits of humans and wizards are completely different, the same thing is that the older they are, the more they have a prominent history or are of special value.

The more you can win their favor.

Many capable wizard families mostly have such a vague collecting habit. The only difference lies in uncontrollable fanaticism and the ability to consider and treat rationally.

The class to which Bellatrix belongs is called the pure-blood aristocracy in the wizarding world of this world!

And Bellatrix Lestrange, in her teenage years, was called Bellatrix Black!

A family so prominent that with just one name, it can gain the recognition and respect of the vast majority of pure-blood nobles! Even though it has inevitably fallen into desolation, it is even now facing the situation of having no successors and even worse luck.

, will be like those families in the history of wizards that were once prominent, but declined and destroyed, and will end in a terrible situation.

But so far, the upper echelons of the wizarding world, no matter what they do in private, still dare not underestimate this family too much in front of others.

It is a kind of network and heritage accumulated over hundreds of years. As long as the Black family has not completely come to an end, the marriage families that have relationships and friendship with it still exist, and as long as those pure-blood nobles still hold the power in their hands,

Just like Slytherin, which has now declined and disappeared, those nobles will not allow anyone to slander the glory of a once-prominent pure-blood family.

Even though this pureblood family has some darkness.

This is harmless and does not even damage the glory. Which pure-blood family does not carry such a kind of darkness?

These pure-blood families are mysterious, and the real main residence must be strictly guarded. Because there are too many ulterior secrets of the family there. Bellatrix grew up in a family like Black, and perhaps she had already

The Black family, which is showing signs of decline, cannot provide her with many generous resources, but it can help her broaden her horizons and easily expand her connections.

A Black name can allow Bellatrix to enjoy a lot of convenience and glory in many things, especially in the Slytherin House of Hogwarts.

The wizarding world is very dismissive of the safety of houses in the Muggle world. Wizards pay more attention to the safety and inheritance of houses, and the protection is more thorough and rigorous. Except for a few special pure-blood families such as Weasley,

In addition, every pure-blood wizard's house has been cast with various strange and mysterious magics.

Especially inheritance magic, which is a magical magic that is recognized and maintained by the entire wizarding world. When the contemporary head of the family dies, the house will automatically fall into the hands of the descendants of the family owner according to the owner's wishes. And the house and the family members will

Everything will be bound by magic from the dead head of the family to the new heir.

Whether it is a living or dead creature, at the moment of magic transfer, it will have the ability and power to control the entire family's resources and manpower. Of course, there are also cases where someone who is not one's own blood is designated to inherit everything in the family. But that situation is extremely rare.

, many conditions need to be met.

First, there must be no suitable successor in his family who has family blood in his veins. Otherwise, the magic passed down by the ancestors would not allow the family head to do such a thing. Second, the designated successor,

He must have a close and recognized relationship with the head of the family.

It is not easy to casually enter a wizard's home, even an ordinary wizard's home. At least you must have a beautiful unlocking spell, as well as a specific surname for protection and defensive magic.

It takes a deep understanding.

Since Muggles can train skills such as lock picking into a black art that is "closer to art", then in the wizarding world, which is much more troublesome than Muggle houses, this skill naturally takes more into consideration.

The reason why Bellatrix and Gargson were able to break through Mellen Watts' residence and force him to sell his property at a low price was because the house was just a random property of Mellen Watts.

It's just a residence. Naturally, the security protection cannot be comparable to that of the family main house he inherited and the house where he often lives.

But if Bellatrix and Gargson wanted to break into the house purchased by Tang Bai, they would have to spend at least a lot of effort. And it would be impossible not to alert the owner of the house.

If you want to sneak into this house silently, you must either find a loophole in the time node of the house's magic - the protective power of the house cannot last forever, and it is in the best state of protection at all times, and those magics are always

Chaos and disorder appear alternately. This makes it possible for no one except the owner of the house to immediately determine what the current protective magic is and start to break it with a surname-specific cracking spell.

Either a loophole was inserted into the house in advance and other powers were used to bypass the protective magic of the house and appear in a safe place. This possibility is not high, because the wizard's vigilance is strong enough, and they

We will always use various magic to monitor the items we take over, and only after confirming that they do not pose a threat to the main house, we will put them into the main house for storage.

But in some places, this kind of monitoring still has loopholes. For example, people are always coming and going, and the books, alchemy items, and even houses stored inside are not even clear to the principal who owns them. So even Hogg

Watts exerts the most powerful and thorough protective magic defense, but because too many people have lived in it and are extremely familiar with certain parts of it, compared with the ancient houses of some prominent families, privacy and security are

On the contrary, the surname is not as good as it is. And it is easier to find loopholes.

Draco Malfoy, the new Death Eater in the future, used the special name of the Vanishing Cabinet to bypass the guardian magic outside Hogwarts, causing a great panic and chaos in Hogwarts.

, and labor pains.

Just as Bellatrix frowned slightly, from the corner of her eye, she spotted a familiar little figure hidden under the man's back.

With a big head, a thin body that looks like malnutrition, a strange appearance, and a rough-skinned body, he is always wearing a dwarf with various stains on his body - which is regarded as proof of hard work and no laziness.

House Elf - Krikulu!

"Good morning, Bella."

Tang Bai turned his head from the soft chair, looked at Bellatrix who was holding on to the staircase railing, and said hello.

"The time you spent on this trip was a little longer than expected. Nott and Mellen Watts have been here so frequently in the past two months that I feel uncomfortable." Look.

Seeing Tang Bai's face, Bellatrix's heart instantly calmed down and she responded to Tang Bai.

"Crickrew has prepared breakfast for the master, what does Mrs. Bellatrix need?" Crickrew happily jumped onto a soft chair nearby, stood on the armrest of the chair, and faced Bellatrix.

Latrix bowed diligently.

Crack!

An equally short figure appeared from the air behind Krichru. He stretched out his feet and kicked Krickru down on the armrest. He held a large dinner plate filled with food high with both hands and looked at Kricklu.

Both of Crewe's eyes were full of anger.

"Go away! You clumsy guy! Just let me take care of Miss Bella. How many more times do you want me to tell you!" Kreacher's shriveled chest bullied fiercely, holding the dinner plate high in his hand.

, and his trembling short body swayed as if he was unable to lift it, making people worry that the food on the dinner plate would slip from it at the next moment.

But the fact is that no matter how violently the dinner plate shakes, and no matter how Kreacher's short and thin body shakes, the food on the dinner plate always stays within its own "territory" and never slides out.

Take even one step.

"There were some emergencies that needed to be dealt with, so it was delayed for a while." Tang Bai ignored the two noisy house elves. In fact, he had seen this scene many times, and he was watching it again after about a year.

It's warm, but it has a special feeling.

"Really?" Bellatrix looked at Tang Bai. She vaguely felt that the temperament of Tang Bai who returned this time had some strange changes compared to before. (To be continued.)
