Chapter 695 Room
The old trees with dense branches cast a cool, dark and dense shadow. Allen walked out from the shadow. He went directly from Granger's house to the door of Gaunt's old house in Great Hangleton, and then picked it up casually on the ground. A pebble.
At the place where he found the Resurrection Stone, Allen took out the Gaunt ring that had been pried off the Resurrection Stone. Although the Resurrection Stone set in the Gaunt ring, which was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, is already in Luna's hands, the ring holder as a Horcrux still protects Voldemort's broken soul and has not been destroyed.
Dark black, flashing blue magic power emitted from Allen's hand, slowly brushing over the ring and the small stone he picked up just now, layer after layer where the Gaunt ring originally had the Resurrection Stone. Layers of ground entwined and flickered, and finally turned into a diamond-shaped black stone.
This stone seems to be exactly the same as the Resurrection Stone, but it is also different. The curse originally belonging to Voldemort on Gunter's ring can be easily eliminated completely by Allen, who has mastered the power of death. But Allen didn't do that.
Allen only absorbed a small part of the curse energy from it, making the actual erosion speed it can cause slower, but he immediately added an additional trap that can seduce people's hearts, allowing people to be attracted by the ring when they see it. Passionately aroused the most secret thoughts in his heart, making him eager to wear this ring - Allen knew Dumbledore's inner desire for his lost family members, and Allen was already quite familiar with the devil's way of deceiving people. He was familiar with it and had personal contact with the Resurrection Stone, so Allen specially made this trap to suit Dumbledore's personal situation, as if it were tailor-made, and added it to the Gaunt ring.
Of course, Allen, who was able to declare a duel to Voldemort, was obviously not afraid of a one-on-one duel with Dumbledore. But the reason why Allen went around in a circle and set up this trap to target Dumbledore was because he didn't want him and Dumbledore to have a confrontation face to face. If in this case, the two people really got into a duel, At that time, even defeating Dumbledore was not necessarily a good thing. The greatest white wizard in the world had been famous for a long time, and he had just recently proved his correctness in the return of Voldemort. When his reputation was just right, as a new recruit As the savior, Allen still needs time to solidify his reputation and prove to the wizards that he is stronger than Dumbledore and that his decisions are more correct than Dumbledore.
So Allen wanted to use this method to make Dumbledore directly realize the fact that he could not be his opponent in this state during this period, and to prevent the other party from letting him suffer because of his subsequent actions. He and his Order of the Phoenix took more radical actions to cause unnecessary losses - in that case, the two sides might have to become life-and-death enemies after the fierce friction escalated.
After all, Allen feels that Dumbledore and he only have ideological and political differences at present. If possible, he still wants to try not to harm the other party's life, let alone those members of the Order of the Phoenix who are actually more innocent. As long as the control slows down the other party's curse, The erosion rate of If you insist on going against yourself, you will at least be able to resolve the other party quickly and avoid unnecessary losses for both parties.
Glancing at the ring that was put back in its place, Allen turned around and teleported back to his house in southern Dorset County.
When Allen's figure finished appearing, he found that the house was even more lively. Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood was wearing a bright yellow wizard robe with silver star and moon patterns on it, sitting in the spacious room at home. On the sofa, she leaned forward and gestured to her father, Owen Harris. Luna sat next to him, twirling her fingers around a carnation and sighing from time to time.
"Minister Harris, I think Helena should go back with me. She has already had a dinner at your place and reunited with you. Why not let her stay at my grandfather's house for a while? I also want to give my granddaughter Take her back and reunite with Luna. After all, she was raised by my daughter alone in the past years. I think she is more willing to live with Luna, which may make her more comfortable." At this time Xenophilius' language talent as a media person was fully revealed. He had a well-founded desire to take his granddaughter back, and it seemed that he was not affected by Owen Harris' status as minister at all.
For this father who loves his daughter, he not only wants to be with Helena, but also feels that his daughter may prefer to live with Helena.
For a moment, Owen Harris actually felt that what he said made sense, but no matter what the reason was, he really couldn't say it and let Helena leave with her. After all, he really liked Helena. This is the first grandchild of the Harris family. His son has indeed failed to fulfill his responsibilities, but isn't this just making up for it...
Owen Harris changed his sitting posture uncomfortably, and noticed that Allen, who was standing in the corner of the room and secretly looking over here, his eyes lit up. He could be relieved now that his youngest son was back. This Xenophilius was really Difficult.
"Eh?" Owen Harris watched as Allen noticed his sight and turned around neatly and stepped into the shadows. His figure immediately disappeared, and then he realized that his grandson had run away...
Albert and Daisy also saw Allen. They saw their father's reaction. The brother and sister smiled at each other and hid next to the wine cabinet in the corner. Albert poured a glass of red wine for himself and Daisy each. , while tasting the wine, he smiled and watched his father being pestered by Xenophilius.
But at this moment, Luna said: "Dad, Helena has a room here."
Although she didn't say much, Xenophilius obviously understood what his daughter meant. He did not prepare a room for Helena. "What's the matter? I can give up my room to Helena." Xenophilius disagreed and insisted on taking Helena away.
"Xenophilius, I understand your feelings of wanting to take Helena back, just like I want Helena to live here and be close to us. After all, we are all her relatives, We all love her dearly. But it's getting very late now. With Helena's special physique, she can't apparate. How are you going to bring her back to such a distant place?" Owen Harris is, after all, Senior politician, this persuasion really persuaded Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood. Although he wanted to take his granddaughter home, in fact there was really no way to take his granddaughter back easily.
Seeing Xenophilius's deflated expression, Owen Harris stood up and said, "Xenophilius, Helena is in her own room upstairs now, why don't I take you to see her. "
Xenophilius was more straightforward this time and stood up immediately.
As their figures disappeared from the corner of the stairs, the previously tense atmosphere in the living room also eased. Daisy swished a glass of red wine and sat on the high chair opposite him. She gently tucked her messy hair behind her ears, "Albert, Tonks, please ask me to take leave from you."
"What's wrong with her?" Albert put down the red wine in his hand and looked at Daisy, "The Aurors are in need of manpower recently. We have foiled several cases of Death Eaters trying to kidnap ordinary wizards in Diagon Alley. Incident."
"She fell in love with Remus Lupin." Daisy sighed, leaning one arm on the wine cabinet and supporting her head with her hands.
"Lupine is a werewolf." Albert frowned. There were so many young and handsome Aurors in the department, why did Tonks choose a werewolf?
Daisy was keenly aware of the meaning of Albert's words. She turned the wine glass in front of her and sighed: "You see, even you are surprised by such feelings. Tonks told me that she had a crush on Lupin She confessed her feelings, but Lupine not only did not respond to her feelings, on the contrary, he closed his heart. He avoided contact with Tonks, did not even talk to her, and almost made Tonks unable to find him. Traces.”
"Tonks is a beautiful girl, and her humor has attracted many Aurors. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net She has many suitors." Albert found it difficult to understand, "Lai is so much older than her. Mus Lupine would actually reject her in turn? If it were me, Lu..."
Daisy rolled her eyes at her brother and reminded her in a low voice: "Although I know you don't mean that, I suggest you watch your mouth in front of Fleur... Tonks thinks that his refusal to admit his feelings for her is due to a certain reason. Some noble reasons. I think Lupine, as a werewolf, decided that he was unworthy of love after enduring years of prejudice and insult, and believed that some of his flaws would make Tonks refuse to respond to this affection. Tonks knew that Lupine would never stay with her again, so she became depressed." Daisy tapped her slender fingers on the table, "She worked very hard when she went on missions, as if she wanted to use her work to To numb herself, but when there is no work, the state is very bad. She has been in a particularly bad state recently. She no longer shows off her disguise magus skills with the Aurors. She usually likes to keep her disguise. Her pink hair began to turn taupe. She even often stared blankly at the air in the office. Therefore, I suggested that she take a break, take a vacation, and change her mood. Fortunately, she listened to me suggestions.”
"Well, it's not easy for them to get together. They have to overcome a lot of difficulties, anxieties and fears, and the contempt and prejudice of others may accompany them for life. Let Tonks relax and take care of her. After all, I'm your guard." Albert pretended to be calm and didn't hear Daisy's warning about the slip just now, and agreed to the other party's request.
