Chapter 506 Please Give Me Back My Home
"Hey, the 50 galleons are for my labor fee! I, a beautiful woman, will run errands for you personally, and I also have to do such offending things as persuading people to check out. Is tipping too much? But people don't want to Let me give you the room, what can you let me do?"
At the bar, Charlotte still had one hand on her hip, and with the other hand stretched out her white jade finger to poke at Draco for a while, as if there was a huge reason. But this eldest sister has not lost her extraordinary charm because she is too arrogant, and the guests crowded outside the bar even nodded their heads.
Draco was so angry that he opened his mouth several times in a row, but he couldn't get out the words at all.
Not to mention that there are other young male wizards around to help, even if he only faced Charlotte, he might not be able to repay it at all. After being depressed for a long time, he finally chose to retreat from here wisely.
If he didn't leave, he would be the target of public criticism. Can he still bite the bullet and stay? Those 50 Galleons should be regarded as feeding a dog...well, a beautiful dog...
Draco stood at the door of the Pig's Head Bar, sighing expressionlessly.
Having suffered a dark loss under Charlotte's hands, he took another step and walked unsteadily along the street in front of the Pig's Head Bar to a distance.
If it doesn’t work, just take a short detour and live in Diagon Alley or somewhere else for a few days! This British wizarding world is not too big or small, but he is not too small, the sole heir of the Malfoy family, can he really be forced to sleep on the streets?
It's just that it's still early today, and it's good to wander around Hogsmeade village to relax.
The road in front of the Pig's Head pub is not the main road. It extends from the side of the main road and leads to the southernmost end of Hogsmeade village. Draco knew very well in his heart that there was a small slope in the snowy forest with a beautiful scenery, and it was quite pleasant to take a walk there.
Of course, the most important thing is that there will definitely not be people everywhere like a village!
...
"Huh? Isn't that... that who... who's from?"
"It's Lucius' son, Draco Malfoy."
"Oh! That's right... that kid... Lucius is so bad, his son must be so bad!"
"That's for the future too, now he's a child."
Beside two cedar trees, a pair of figures are talking softly. They cast a protective spell of invisibility around here, so that even if they stood there, they would not be seen.
Of course, you still have to speak as quietly as possible, especially when someone is approaching.
And as far as they could see, Draco was pacing down the hillside step by step, seemingly absent-minded, as if he was worrying about his own future and the future of his family.
"I'm talking about Remus," one of the women asked suddenly, "do you think our Order of the Phoenix can wipe out the Death Eaters in one fell swoop this time?"
"Who knows? I hope!" The other man said silently, "I tell you, regardless of whether McClain's plan will succeed this time, the most important thing is to try not to sacrifice anyone else!"
"Alas..." The woman sighed softly and nodded, but shook her head again the next second, "If you don't want more people to sacrifice for this, isn't the best way to get rid of that Voldemort? It's a pity that even wizards as powerful as McLean and Dumbledore let him escape several times in a row..."
Hearing what his companion said, the wizard next to him couldn't help turning his head and took a deep look at Hogwarts Castle in the distance.
"...Speaking of which, it was better when Dumbledore was still around, but now Dumbledore has passed away," he said with some seriousness, "No matter how good McClain is, those of us elders will definitely Don't forget his actual age! Tonks, he's still a child..."
That's right, the man and woman hiding here are exactly Tonks and Lupine. In this operation,
They were assigned to be on standby near Hogsmeade village, one was to stay behind and wait for the recovery, and the other was to monitor the wizards attending the funeral.
Their tasks can be said to be relatively light, because they don't have to follow the main team of the Order of the Phoenix to face the battle; but their tasks can also be said to be heavy, because Hogwarts is probably the main battlefield against Voldemort , this retreat cannot be missed.
And more importantly, the secret passage in Aberforth's Pig's Head Bar may become a secret reinforcement route at certain times. If Hogwarts needs more manpower to participate in the battle, then the remaining combat power of the Order of the Phoenix will directly enter the castle from here, as an extremely important reserve force.
It's just that no one could have imagined that such a complete plan would be completely shattered by a mysterious ancient magic mirror.
"Huh? See what he's doing?"
Just as the two were silent about Maca's burden, Tonks suddenly pointed to the distance with a look of surprise. But beside a tree on the opposite side of the hillside, Draco put down the suitcase in his hand, and then pulled out his wand from the inside of his robe.
"Break into pieces!" "Crack!"
He just stared blankly at the trunk of the tree for a while, and then his eyes widened, he swung his wand violently, and cast a shattering spell.
But probably because of lack of practice on weekdays, although the shattering spell was successfully cast, its power was not even half of the standard level.
Tonks and Lupine glanced at the burst bark, then looked at each other, and shook their heads amusedly.
Although they didn't understand why Draco came here to practice the spell, but at such a low level, it was really dumbfounding.
"The Malfoy family still has the confidence to dare to use magic outside when they are young. It's different if it has something to do with it!" Tonks said with a grin.
Lupine didn't know that Tonks was being sarcastic, but he was a relatively calm person after all, so he didn't make fun of it.
"With the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, there is no time to pay attention to these things," Lupine sighed softly, looking at Draco who was still waving his wand, "and the people here in Hogsmeade are really too much lately." Miscellaneous, it's the same if another child comes here to cast the spell."
Ever since the Ministry of Magic became a battlefield where the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix secretly confronted each other, the secret tug-of-war has been going on. Both sides are coming and going, disturbing the entire Ministry of Magic. When Lupine mentioned these things at the moment, he was more sincerely saddened by the chaos in the magic world.
But at this moment, an angry shout suddenly brought the two of them back to reality.
"Voldemort, give me back my father! Give me back my home!" Draco yelled angrily at the tree. "Crucio!"
No one knew whether he had succeeded in casting the spell, after all, the target of his spell was a tree. But the hearts of the two bystanders watching from a distance suddenly sank.
Whether it was the information revealed by Draco's roar or his Cruciatus Curse, it was enough to shock all the wizards who saw this scene.
"Lupine?" Tonks suddenly turned his head and called softly with a questioning meaning.
Lupine pondered for a moment, but shook his head.
"I'm watching here, and I can't take it easily now, or it might alarm Voldemort," he frowned, and said thoughtfully, "Go and tell Kingsley and the others the news."
"Okay! You...be careful yourself." Tonks said, and glanced at Draco again, and then an apparition disappeared in place.
Of course Draco didn't know anything about it, he was just here for a walk. But who knew, walking in this deserted little snow forest, the gloom in my heart became more and more intense, so I planned to cast a few spells to vent it.
In fact, even though Bellatrix taught him the Cruciatus Curse, one of the Unforgivable Curses, no matter who uses such a notorious spell, there will be a great sense of resistance. Whether it's because of going to Azkaban if found out, or because of the evilness of the spell itself, it's repulsive.
However, at the last moment just now, when the hatred in his heart was raised to the extreme by a shattering spell, he somehow used it.
Draco stared blankly at his hand, the wand in his hand was still straight and smooth, with an oily sheen. But he seemed to have seen something terrifying, and the hand holding it began to tremble.
Bellatrix had used the spell in front of him, tormenting an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic. He saw with his own eyes that the wizard curled up on the ground because of the extreme pain, the expression on his face was distorted and ferocious, and his throat let out a terrible roar that didn't resemble a human voice.
He could barely hold his wand when he thought about the experience he had come close to experiencing himself once.
It took a while before he managed to calm down and stabilize his ever-shaking mind. It was just the emotion just now, but it was still lingering in the depths of his heart.
On the hillside, Lupine's eyes were fixed on Draco for a moment, secretly guessing the specific situation of Malfoy's house. This time, I got some very useful news by accident, maybe Kingsley and the others can really gain something.
"It's a poor kid, too."
Suddenly, he seemed to sigh with emotion.
What the Dark Lord has done has caused more than one uproar, and what he has brought to the entire British magic world is precisely those many life and death. Judging from what Draco said, the Malfoy family might also be included as one of the victims this time.
Considering what Lucius has done in the past, this is really a great irony.
