Chapter 39 Weird Charity Auction

Seeing Elena's strange expression, Tom didn't realize anything at all. He still looked at Karis with a smile on his face, and introduced to Elena: "Elena, this is Karis, who was here before. The sister of senior Joanna whom we met in the Boneyard. She was a friend that Vijay and I met in Diagon Alley two years ago before we came to Hogwarts. Her family is in France, so she has been in Beauxbatons. During school, we often communicated, but recently I haven’t received emails for a long time because I was busy with club affairs..."

"Oh~" Irina made a strange sound, and then murmured in a low voice: "It turns out that you have a hard time getting over it..."

Because the voice was too low, neither Tom nor Karis heard Elena's strange annoyance. The two of them were chatting enthusiastically at this time, and neither of them paid attention to Elena.

If looks could kill, Tom would have been slapped three times by Elena at this time.

…

In the afternoon, Tom showed his loyalty as a landlord and took Karis to visit the entire Hogwarts. Elena followed the two angrily, playing the role of a high-wattage light bulb.

Elena was also very depressed at this time, why should she always be a light bulb?

When Vijay was here, Tom and Vijay hung out every day, and he was like a light bulb. Now that Vijay was gone, he and Tom had only had a happy life together for a few days, and another Karis came...

Just taller than me, better-looking than me, more coquettish than me, cuter than me, better than me... Well, it’s better not to bring trouble to yourself. If the comparison continues like this, Elena is afraid that she will find a Whomping Willow on her own. Hanging on the southeast branch.

"Hey, by the way, Karis, have you been in contact with Zhou Mengyu? Last year, you said in your letter that you had contacted Zhou Mengyu. I originally wanted to ask you where she was, but then she ended up in the Bone Burial Ground inexplicably. Okay, just forget about it!”

Tom followed Elena Kalisi to the Black Lake, leaned against a tree casually and asked.

Karis smiled softly: "Are you asking about Vijay..."

Tom scratched his head in embarrassment, but then he thought about it, he was embarrassed about the wool, so I asked Vijay for it. If it was embarrassing, it was also embarrassing for Vijay, and then he admitted directly: "Yeah, okay, ask for Vijay." , that guy has always been obsessed with Zhou Mengyu, I asked him to find it, but he didn’t dare, he was very confused! "

"Mengyu has changed her name now. Her name is Emma now. She lives with her mother at the University of St. Andrews. Her mother is the librarian of the University of St. Andrews. I went to St. Andrews before coming to Hogwarts. I met Emma at the university..." At this point, Caris suddenly hesitated to speak.

Tom also noticed that Caris was hesitant to speak, and asked hurriedly: "Why don't you say anything?"

"Something happened at Emma's family, and I was a little worried. I originally used magic to help her, but then I found that the matter involved a lot, and I couldn't help her alone."

"What's going on?" Tom asked, and Elena frowned slightly and moved closer.

Caris frowned slightly and lowered her voice and said: "The thing is like this, Emma's stepfather Mr. Stoker has disappeared inexplicably. He has been missing for three months. I used magic divination to find that Mr. Stoker should not have been killed. , but was imprisoned.

But when I wanted to continue to divine the place of imprisonment, my magic was remotely interrupted, and some power even came back to bite me. I could sense that the power was very evil and should be related to magic. "

"Missing? What's the specific situation?" Tom asked again. Tom also planned to help Emma when this kind of thing happened. Although the force formed by Vijay and the others had just started, there were many talents in the organization and they should be able to solve this matter.

"I don't know the specifics. Emma told me that around April or May of this year, Mr. Stork was invited to Manchester to participate in a charity auction. However, after the donation meeting, there were five attendees. The inexplicable disappearance seems to be related to an auction item, but the specific Emma is not clear. The only people who know the details are those who attended the meeting.

The weird thing about this matter is that Gu Yan, those participants were willing to disclose the details of the auction that day no matter what. Emma found a participant of the auction that day through some channels, and asked for a long time using some It was through supernatural means that we learned that the disappearance of the five attendees was related to an auction item.

When Emma wanted to continue asking, the man suddenly suffered a heart attack and died instantly without any warning. Afterwards, Emma also tried to find other participants, but strange things happened one after another, and those participants I don't know why they all died inexplicably or fell into a deep coma, and all the clues were broken. "

Tom thought for a while and said, "Someone put a curse on those participants?"

Karis nodded: "I think so too. A few days ago, Emma and I went to see those who fell into coma. Based on their state, I guessed that they drank the 'Water of Life and Death', and the dose was relatively large. , so he fell into a coma.”

"Since you discovered it, why don't you prepare the antidote?" Elena asked.

Karis shook her head: "'Water of Life and Death' is a high-level magic potion that only sixth graders come into contact with. I don't know how to prepare an antidote at all. I thought about asking my sister to help me prepare the antidote after I came to Hogwarts, and then I thought I can send it to Emma, ​​but my sister is very busy recently. She is the president of the student union, and she has to arrange for other students to merge with the three schools. "

Hearing this, Tom smiled teasingly: "I'm afraid this is just one reason. The more important reason is that he is busy falling in love! Alateng has been hiding in the club activity center recently. I didn't know what was going on at first. When I heard After Joanna came, I finally understood why he was hiding..."

"Alateng!? Do you know that senior? I'm really curious about what kind of person he is. My sister told me that senior Alateng is a powerful and domineering man. I feel particularly safe with him. I've always wanted to meet him. What about him..."

Powerful and domineering! ? A macho man? ? !

Tom and Elena looked at each other, both of them almost couldn't help but squirt...

The current Alateng is indeed relatively normal, but who would have thought that more than a year ago, Alateng was still a big girl, a super hunk who matched the George sisters and loved Mickey Mouse!

"Hey, if you want to see him, I can take you there, but you have to wait a little while..." Tom said, reaching into his expandable pocket and taking out a few medium-rare steaks from it.

"What are you waiting for?"

Just as he was talking, he saw a black-haired monster slowly walking out of the black lake. The 'monster' was nearly three meters long, with a fierce look in its eyes. Its strong limbs left ferocious footprints on the mossy road.

"Ah!" Karis was startled, and hid behind Tom. Her little hands tightly grasped the skirt of Tom's clothes, and timidly looked at the monster walking out of the black lake.

"Woo~ woof!" The monster's nose twitched, and after a few sniffs, a look of surprise appeared in its eyes, and it quickly ran towards Tom and the others: "Woof woof woof..."

"It seems that Ergou has recognized you!" Tom said, taking out his wand and helping Ergou clean up the water stains and dirt on his body. The next second, Ergou revealed his true form and turned into a mighty and domineering big dog. , wagging his tail and rubbing against Karis.

Karis was stunned at first, and then she smiled happily: "Ah, the two dogs have grown so big! He was only this big last time I saw him..."

As she spoke, Caris gestured to her side about the size of Ergou when she saw him before, and then timidly stretched out her hand to touch Ergou. Seeing that Ergou had no ill intentions, Caris felt relieved and touched Ergou. head, letting Ergou lick her hand.

Tom fed Ergou a few pieces of steak, played with Ergou for a while, and then walked towards the club activity center with Karis and Elena.
