Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard
Chapter 837 Search
"Dear Mr. Auror, if it's ok, could you please move aside?"
At the entrance of Diagon Alley, a double-decker bus was forced to stop here. The conductor looked at the Aurors around and said impatiently: "I have said many times that the person you are looking for has never taken the Knight Bus."
"But we know that someone has taken the Knight Bus here." The leading Auror said expressionlessly.
"Is there any problem with this?" The ticket seller became even more annoyed. "We are here to help wizards in trouble. Not just today, we receive passengers from Diagon Alley every day."
"But today is the most special." The Auror continued, "Someone killed five wizards in Knockturn Alley. With such cruel behavior, he will definitely attack other wizards. We must catch him as soon as possible. You don't want to be targeted by a cruel dark wizard."
"Kill... five wizards..." The ticket seller panicked instantly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his ticket wallet. "Oh, you just mentioned Knockturn Alley. Could it be that the wizards there did it?"
"Knockturn Alley has its own rules. It won't be chaotic. "If you come here, you won't cause trouble for yourself."
"Then are you sure he left on the Knight Bus?"
"These are not what you should ask." The Auror said coldly, "Now you just need to cooperate with us."
"Okay, what do you want to know." The conductor said, "But you'd better ask quickly, there are many wizards waiting for our help."
"Don't worry, it won't take too long." The Auror said, "But your answer is too vague, I may have to take some other measures."
"Legislative mind."
Before the conductor reacted, she saw a wand, and then everything that happened in the past three hours began to flash through her mind quickly.
It's just that these fragments can not only be seen by her, but also by the Auror opposite.
"You actually... dared to use... Legilimency on me!"
The conductor who had reacted was furious, "You can't do this, I'm going to the Ministry of Magic to complain to the Minister!"
"It doesn't matter, go ahead." The Auror said calmly, "The situation is urgent, some means are necessary, as long as we can catch that dark wizard, even if I will be punished, I will accept it."
"It's a nice thing to say." The conductor did not calm down because of his words, "So, have you found any clues?"
The Auror did not speak.
He did not find the rich stranger wizard described by the shop owners in the conductor's memory.
In this memory, only two people have taken the Knight Bus.
The first one is a middle-aged wizard, who is also the first to be excluded, not because of his different appearance. It is too easy to change your appearance in the magic world, whether it is Transfiguration or Polyjuice Potion.
The main reason is that the man did not even have a complete Sickle, and he counted his Knuts twice. It can be seen that he is very tight on money, which does not match the other party's character of spending money like water.
As for the second one, it was a witch who looked very anxious. It was possible that she was the one they were looking for, but it was only a possibility.
Because such cruel dark wizards were usually very cunning. They had many ways to avoid the Ministry of Magic's pursuit. Perhaps they had already slipped away without his knowledge.
The Auror rubbed his forehead. No matter what, he had to go and take a look. At least he had to keep himself busy, otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the Ministry of Magic.
Now he could only make as much noise as possible to make the other party afraid to act rashly and keep quiet for a short time.
Otherwise, if five more wizards died, his job as an Auror would be over.
He waved his hand, indicating that the Knight Bus could leave.
The conductor snorted and got on the bus.
"You guys stay here." Then, he turned to the people following him and said, "Bartok, come with me to Northamptonshire."
"Captain, you don't really believe that guy would leave on the Knight Bus." An Auror came over and asked, "A wizard so rich, he may not even know there is such a means of transportation.
"I still think that we should check on that old guy Malfoy. Everyone knows that Holykin works for him. Is it possible that he knew too much and was silenced?"
"Do you have evidence? Malfoy is the favorite guest of many directors." The Auror Captain said in a deep voice: "Maybe we will be asked to evacuate as soon as we enter his manor."
"Evidence can be found." Bartok said, "Didn't we get the news that someone saw Holykin get a dragon egg, but the dragon egg disappeared in the end.
"Malfoy is the person who is most opposed to the establishment of a dragon protection area. Maybe Holykin was silenced because of this matter.
"It makes sense. "The Auror Captain said without turning his head, "Then you don't have to go to Northamptonshire with me. Go find the dragon egg. If you can find it, my position will be yours."
"This..." Bartok scratched his hair awkwardly, "I, I don't know where to find it."
"It doesn't matter. I know that the dragon egg was most likely taken away by the dark wizard who killed Horliken. As long as you can find him, you can find the dragon egg."
Bartok was even more embarrassed...Searching for the dark wizard, isn't that what they are doing?
He had to shut up and follow quietly.
"But you are right about one thing." The Auror Captain thought for a moment, "So, you go to the vicinity of Malfoy Manor and monitor every move there. Be careful to hide yourself and don't expose yourself. I will find a way to ask the Minister for a search warrant."
"Can it work?"
"Try it. Killing five wizards in a row is a very bad thing even in Knockturn Alley. The Minister will not let go of any possibility."
...
At the same time, in Godric's Hollow.
Kyle has found the Valley Bar that Bathilda Bagshot mentioned.
It is at the lowest point of the valley, not far from her home, only a few minutes away. At the same time, it is also one of the most popular places for nearby wizards.
Many people like to come here for a drink in their spare time, and brag with a few familiar people by the way. This is also the best way to pass the time.
When Kyle came over, it was already lunch time, but there were still many people in the Valley Bar, noisy and lively.
Kyle walked in, probably because of his unfamiliar face, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. They all looked over.
But Kyle didn't care. He walked straight to the back counter and found the boss who was wiping the cups.
"I want a room." He said, and then added: "Ms. Bathilda Bagshot asked me to come."
Hearing Bathilda's name, the boss who was careless just now raised his head.
"Bathilda... Are you also her great-nephew?" The boss looked up and down at Kyle, and finally stared at his black hair.
"No..." Kyle shook his head and said, "I just came to Godric's Hollow today, a student who likes magic history."
"Oh!" The boss nodded suddenly, "No wonder, it's rare to find wizards who have the same hobbies as her."
He took out a key and handed it to Kyle, "Your room is on the second floor, it's on the left after going up, how long do you want to stay."
"Tentatively set it for one month." Kyle thought for a while and said.
"The fee will be settled in one lump sum, you need to pay me ninety Sickles."
"Ninety Sickles?" Kyle thought he had heard it wrong.
It's not too expensive, it's too cheap.
It was equivalent to three Sickles a day. Even a hundred years ago, this price was so low that Kyle thought he was staying in a black spot.
Is Bathilda's name so useful?
Although he was puzzled, Kyle still took out six Galleons and handed them to the boss.
"Please give me a lunch for the rest, if there is any here."
"Too much." The boss said.
"Then add it to tomorrow's lunch."
The boss didn't say anything this time.
Kyle took the key upstairs and opened the room on the left.
The environment here is much better than he imagined. Although it is a little small, everything is available, and many of them look new. If it was placed in the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, such a room would cost at least two Galleons a day.
Of course, it was the Leaky Cauldron in his time.
Kyle took out his wand and tapped it lightly. A circular ripple like a bubble quickly spread out in all directions, and after hitting the wall, it spread to the ceiling.
Search spell, a small spell learned in fourth grade, can check objects or creatures related to dark magic within a certain range.
After making sure that there was no problem with the room, Kyle sat down in the chair with peace of mind.
At this time, lunch was also delivered.
In a place like this, you definitely can't think of a big meal, there is only a very standard meal.
Fried fish, fried potato chips, roasted whole potatoes with skins, boiled mashed potatoes, a piece of buttered bread, and a bottle of pumpkin juice.
The taste was also average, the potato chips were too thick and still raw inside, and the mashed potatoes were just like its name, with potatoes and mash.
But Kyle didn't think it was strange, after all, it was 1899, these were too normal, even a hundred years later, it would be almost the same standard.
That is, places with more wizards... such as the Leaky Cauldron or the Three Broomsticks, will pay a little attention.
Kyle ate a few bites, filled his stomach, and left the room again, returning to Godric's Hollow.
He needed to find the barn that Grindelwald told him in advance.
According to Nico, Dumbledore would suddenly appear at a certain time in the place he thought was most suitable.
What Kyle needed to do was to take him away immediately at that time. For more than two months, no one knew how many times Dumbledore had repeated the same thing here. Even if he was the greatest white wizard, his spirit would probably be exhausted.
This was still based on the premise that he did nothing. If he did something and tried to change what had already happened, the consumption would only be greater.
Kyle returned to the place where he was before. This time he deliberately bypassed Bathilda's house and was not seen again.
He walked forward for a while and finally found the legendary barn on a hidden hillside.
This place has indeed been abandoned for a long time. As soon as you come in, you can smell the smell of rotting straw, and aphids and foxes can be seen everywhere... This place has almost become a paradise for these pests.
Unfortunately, Kyle did not see Professor Dumbledore here, nor did he find any trace of his existence.
"Yeah, there will definitely not be." Kyle shook his head.
He appeared earlier than Dumbledore, and there must be no trace of him at this time.
Kyle walked to the middle of the barn and looked up at the only window.
The window is small, and the visible range is not large, but it happens to be opposite to a person's attic, and all the features match.
Grindelwald said that the attic belongs to Dumbledore's family, and Ariana lives in it all year round, and there is nothing she can do about it.
As an Obscurus, once Ariana is stimulated by the outside world, she will most likely release the Obscurus.
If she is unconscious, the Obscurus will indiscriminately attack everything around her until there are no living creatures and intact buildings around her, and then it will return to Ariana's body again.
And she will not remember anything after she wakes up.
But if Ariana is still conscious, she will probably resist the appearance of the Obscurus and try her best to stop it.
For general emotional fluctuations, Ariana can suppress the Obscurus, but she will become weaker, and this weakness cannot be eliminated until she can no longer suppress the Obscurus.
There is another situation, that is, if Ariana's emotions are too strong and she tries desperately to suppress them, the Obscurus will explode in her body, and the violent dark matter will directly kill her.
The Dumbledore family should know about this situation, so they let Ariana stay in a place where she can't contact with anyone, and don't let her go to school or go out.
Only in this way can Ariana be guaranteed not to be stimulated.
But this way, Ariana can only stay in the small attic. In addition to Dumbledore and Aberforth, her world only has that small window.
Kyle sighed a little. This kind of imprisonment protection is somewhat too cruel for a child.
Especially Ariana is already a teenager, which is the age when she is curious about everything.
Not knowing if his eyes were too eager, he suddenly saw a small head appear in the attic. It was a little girl, who was also looking at the location of the abandoned barn.
Kyle hurriedly took two steps forward to get himself out of the window.
He didn't know if Ariana saw him, she should have seen him, but no matter what, he didn't want to have any intersection with this girl at this time.
Kyle shook his head. Now that he knew the location, it was time for him to go back. Now he just had to wait for Dumbledore to come.
Before leaving, Kyle placed a telescopic ear in the corner of the barn, carefully hiding it with straw and a broken wooden barrel. In this way, even if he didn't come here, he could still grasp the situation in the barn.
But just when Kyle finished all this, the door of the barn creaked open from the outside, and a golden man immediately occupied Kyle's vision.
"Is it you?" Grindelwald looked at Kyle, "What are you doing here?"
Kyle's mouth twitched, he couldn't understand why Grindelwald came to this abandoned barn.
And at this time.
"Oh, you are the great-nephew of Ms. Bagshot." He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I just found this by accident, so I came in to take a look, thinking that I might find some interesting traces."
"You lied, you didn't find this place by accident." Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and said, "But I don't care what you want to do. Although you are suspicious and must have some purpose to come here, I don't think you will harm us."
"Intuition?"
"No, I can see it." Grindelwald said, his eyes still fixed on Kyle, which made Kyle a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, you said you are studying the history of magic." Grindelwald suddenly said, "Then do you know the three holy artifacts?"
"The three alchemical items mentioned in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard"?" Kyle said.
"Do you think they are alchemical items?" Grindelwald's voice rose slightly.
"Of course, how else can I explain it?" Kyle said, "It's impossible that they are really God's creation. There is no magic at all. I prefer to believe that they are the masterpieces of some powerful alchemist, and they have been given a mysterious legend over the course of hundreds and thousands of years.
"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you believe that story?"
"Nothing, just asking casually."
Hearing Kyle's words, Grindelwald's expression suddenly became much calmer, and he seemed to have lost interest in Kyle.
"I have something else to do, you continue..."
"No, I'm done." Kyle said, "This is obviously an ordinary barn, and it has nothing to do with Godric Gryffindor."
"This time Grindelwald didn't even stop, and left without looking back."
