Chapter 395
Back to the castle, because of the competition, this afternoon's class was cancelled, so Wayne was going to go back and continue to work hard to study the Dragon King's inheritance.
He found that the reason why he couldn't make a perfect command spell was because he didn't understand magic deeply enough.
And the knowledge about energy conversion and consumption in the Dragon King's inheritance is his main focus in the near future.
But before he even reached the dormitory, he was pulled away by the jubilant Sirius.
Harry was also there, saying that he was going to the Three Broomsticks to celebrate Harry's winning the first place in the individual event today.
Wayne, who couldn't resist him, had to follow him to Hogsmeade.
Entering the hotel, the three found a small table near the fireplace and sat down, and Harry's eyes were dazed.
He was sitting here before, and heard the conversation between Fudge and several professors, and regarded Sirius as his father's murderer.
Sirius didn't notice Harry's expression. After ordering with the waiter, he smiled and said to Wayne:
"It's a pity that I'm too busy today, otherwise I must call Ms. Rosmerta to chat."
"When I was still in school, she liked me very much."
"Without me, James and Remus couldn't drink so much good wine."
Wayne pouted: "Don't talk nonsense, I guess it's because you are generous. You are the eldest son of the Black family. If I were a tavern owner, I would like you too."
Sirius blushed: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about."
Harry came back to his senses and laughed out loud. Sirius ruffled his hair in annoyance.
Soon, the waiter brought the drinks and food over. Wayne looked at them and asked in confusion:
"Why four cups? Who else did you call?"
"Remus, oh, he's here!"
Sirius was halfway through his speech when he saw a slightly haggard figure coming in from the door.
Lupin also saw them, walked through several tables, and sat down in front of the three of them.
"Long time no see, Wayne, Harry."
The two also greeted him.
"Harry, you did very well just now." Lupin took a big sip of tequila, and then praised:
"Especially the two spells against the mermaid, which were really wonderful."
Harry said modestly: "It's all because of the teacher's good teaching. I haven't mastered it well yet."
Both knew that Harry was taking classes with Wayne, and thought that the teacher he was talking about was Wayne, so they didn't ask any more questions.
The group chatted while eating.
The topic turned to Lupin's work unconsciously.
"Has Borgin found any good stuff recently?" Wayne asked.
Now Lupin is a curse-breaker and thug at Borgin and Burke's - the regular kind.
He only fights in ancient tombs or dangerous places in the wild, and does not get involved in disputes between Borgin and Burke and customers.
After hearing WayneWhen asked, Lupin put down his fork and shook his head: "I've been very idle recently. Burke is busy dealing with the Rosier family and doesn't need me at all. However, my salary is still paid as usual, but there is no performance bonus."
Sirius became interested: "I remember that the relationship between the Burkes and the Rosier family was pretty good, right? Why did they suddenly fall out?"
"I don't know about that. I don't care about these things." Lupin took a sip of tequila and continued: "Anyway, Burke is ruthless this time. The dark magic items in the store have been reduced by one third."
"I guess most of them were used by him on the Rosier family."
"Go back and find out for me the specific reason. This dog has a brain."
Sirius was happy. He liked this kind of dog-biting story between pure-blood families the most.
"If it's a feud with the Rosier family... I think I know what's going on." Wayne said with a strange look on his face, attracting the attention of the three people.
Harry was also very interested in the conflicts between wizard families and listened carefully.
Wayne told the story of Grace and Burke's previous encounter, but he did not mention "The Most Toxic Magic", only saying that it was the tomb of a very powerful dark wizard.
But he did not expect that it would take so long for Borgin and Burke to start their revenge.
Isn't this procrastination too severe?
After listening, Sirius gloated: "The Rosier family likes to do this kind of shady things behind the scenes, and they are very gambling."
"They chose the wrong master before, I thought they would be honest for a while, but I didn't expect to offend Burke again."
"That old guy is not simple, it's their bad luck."
Lupin looked up at him: "Sirius, I remember your mother is from the Rosier family?"
"Yes." Sirius nodded: "Before she died, she had a close connection with the Rosier family, but now she has no connection."
"What if I say... your grandfather may have passed away..." Lupin carefully observed Sirius's expression.
"That old thing Kristula is dead too?" Sirius was startled, then laughed even more happily:
"That's great, that old bastard always called me a bastard and a shame to the Black family. After I was released from prison, he even wrote a letter to scold me. He died well."
Harry pulled the corners of his mouth, but couldn't laugh.
His godfather is... quite filial.
Seeing that Sirius really didn't feel anything, Lupin also told the current situation of the Rosier family with confidence.
Seven or eight of the miscellaneous members died, and two of their generation were missing.
These two people are also the strongest of the Rosier family.
They were all Death Eaters, and escaped prison in the same way as Lucius Malfoy.
Recently, Borgin and Burke have been tracking these two people.
If you don't get rid of the roots, he will be the one who will suffer in the future., since he chose revenge, Burke must exterminate this branch of the Rosier family in the UK.
After dinner, Lupin returned to Grimmauld Place through the fireplace.
Before leaving, Wayne pulled him and whispered, "Come to school to test the medicine in a while."
Lupin's face was bitter, and he remembered the experience of being used as a guinea pig.
Wayne pouted: "Don't worry, I feel that it will succeed soon, at most twice. If you still want to have your period once a month like a woman, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lupin struggled, but finally agreed.
After he left, Wayne and the other two also left the bar and returned to the castle.
In the evening, Wayne was playing chess with Hannah, and the fat monk floated over.
"Lawrence, come with me."
Wayne was a little confused, but still followed him to the steps.
"What's wrong, Fat Monk?"
The Fat Monk looked at him with a strange look, which made Wayne feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Wayne asked again.
"Ms. Grey asked me to pass on a message. We will meet at the observatory tower at 12 o'clock tonight." The fat monk said, and then his voice became very low: "Don't tell anyone else, let alone Bloody Barrow."
He stretched his head and looked around, very carefully, "Bloody Barrow is a fanatical pursuer of Ms. Grey. If he finds out that you and Ms. Grey are having a tryst, you will be in big trouble."
Wayne was full of black lines on his head: "Fat monk, she must have something serious to talk to me about. We are discussing very rigorous academic issues."
"I understand, I understand." The fat monk looked like a person who had experienced it, "I told the nuns the same thing back then. We always discussed doctrines in the church. Virgin Mary, those nuns are really good."
After saying that, he still looked like he was savoring it.
Wayne's eyelids twitched wildly, "Is this the reason why you were burned to death back then?"
"Of course not!" The fat monk said loudly: "This kind of thing was very common back then, maybe it's still common now!"
He waved his fist indignantly: "It's not my competitor's fault. I kindly helped the believers to treat smallpox and found rabbits as food for my colleagues."
"They actually suspected that I was a wizard?!"
Wayne was speechless: "Aren't you?"
"Of course I am, but they can't just suspect me. At least they have to let me become a cardinal before reporting it!"
Good guy, Wayne only then knew that the fat monk had such a high status in the Vatican back then.
Cardinal, that is the highest position after the Pope. If he really became a cardinal, wouldn't it be a huge scandal for the Vatican?
After listening to the fat monk's complaints for a while, Wayne parted with him.
Back in the dormitory, he began to think about why Ms. Grey was looking for him.
Last time, he didn't get any useful information from Ms. Grey, and he even asked about her father.
Since then, the two, um, one person and one ghost, have had little interaction.
Is he trying to get the crown back?
Wayne shook his head. Although Ms. Grey was a bit stupid, she couldn't do such a thing. (To read the novels of rage, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Forget it, don't think about it. Anyway, even if Ms. Grey doesn't come to him, he will go to Ms. Grey after a while.
He always felt that drinking Felixir as oil was not the correct way to use the Ravenclaw crown.
Late at night, twelve o'clock.
Wayne arrived at the astronomy tower on time.
Ms. Grey had been waiting here for a long time. She looked up at the moon, her white clothes fluttering, and she looked a kind of gloomy beauty.
In terms of appearance alone, Helena is indeed very good, but it's a pity that her brain is not very good.
"You're here." A cold voice floated over, and Wayne walked to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, "What do you want from me, Ms. Grey?"
The moon in the sky is almost full, and it seems that Lupin will be called over to test the medicine soon.
"Since you already know my true identity, just call me Helena."
Helena turned around and said lightly: "I have thought about the question you asked for a long time, but I still don't have an answer."
Wayne's forehead was full of question marks: "What question, Crown?"
Helena was a little annoyed: "About my father!"
"Oh." Wayne suddenly realized, "You are talking about this, Ms. Helena, I just asked casually, don't take it so seriously."
"It has nothing to do with you." Helena floated a little higher: "This is also what I have always wanted to know. I have never heard my mother mention who my father is."
"Even... before you asked me, I didn't even think about this question."
"I suspect that my mother used the magic of suggestion to make me subconsciously ignore this question."
Hmm?
Wayne became interested. There must be something big here.
But...
"Why did you come to me?"
"I want to figure it all out." Helena said firmly: "You are the most powerful little wizard I have ever seen. You will definitely surpass Dumbledore in the future. If anyone can help me, it is only you."
"Sorry, my time is precious." Wayne shook his head: "I can't help with this kind of historical legacy."
He likes to eat melons, but he doesn't like to find melons himself.
It's been almost a thousand years, and he is not interested in playing the game of Where Are We Going, Dad, with Helena.
"I can pay you." Helena was not surprised to see that she was rejected, but continued.
Wayne was not interested: "Then tell me first, what is your reward?"
"My mother's notebook."
"Helping others is a traditional virtue of Hufflepuff." Wayne said seriously: "Ms. Helena, I will help you solve the mystery of your life."
Helena was so angry at his rapid change of expression that her chest was hurtingBullying, the huge scar was looming.
Wayne only looked at it five, six, seven or eight times before retracting his gaze.
"You can actually enter Hufflepuff, the Sorting Hat is really blind." Helena snorted and floated away.
"Come with me, I'll give you the reward first."
Wayne followed behind, a little curious: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the things and not admit it?"
"Then I will go to Dumbledore and all the ghosts to pass on your deeds."
Helena glanced at him: "From now on, the story of Lawrence's breaking his promise will be passed down forever, generation after generation of little wizards will grow up listening to this story, and Hufflepuff will be ashamed of you."
Wayne was shocked when he heard it "You are too cruel, aren't you?"
Helena's lips curled slightly: "Otherwise, how dare I give you the reward in advance?"
"But I can't guarantee that I can find the answer. If you go out and talk nonsense, forget about this deal."
"I understand, but you have to show me the results."
"It's a deal."
The two walked towards the Ravenclaw Tower. On the way, they met a few little wizards who were out for a night tour. Wayne cast a layer of Disillusionment to hide his body.
What the fat monk said still made some sense. Zhishi's problem has not been solved yet. If there are more rumors about him and the ghost, it will be hard to live like this.
"Is Ravenclaw's notebook in the lounge?" Wayne asked with some doubts.
"Well, I just remembered it recently. Ghosts always have poor memory and only remember things they think are important."
"Oh, no wonder you are a poor student. This kind of treasure is not important to you?"
"It is a treasure to you, but it is a burden to me."
"My mother has been imparting knowledge to me since I was a child. No matter whether I can learn it or not, she always thinks that there should be smart people in the world."
Wayne was silent after hearing this.
Ravenclaw's knowledge has become a burden?
This is too Versailles.
The two came to the door of the Ravenclaw lounge. Helena floated into the wall without any hindrance, and Wayne was stopped by the eagle bronze door knocker.
"Little wizard from outside, please return to my question."
The eagle spoke: "Invisible and shadowless, always accompanying me; silent, but able to guide."
Wayne looked at him in confusion: "Is today's question so simple?"
"Please answer." The eagle ignored him and repeated mechanically.
"Wisdom." Wayne said the answer without hesitation. []
The eagle folded its wings and the door opened automatically.
Wayne walked in. He originally thought that at this time, there should be no one in the lounge, but to his surprise, a familiar figure was sitting on the sofa under the candlestick, reading a book leisurely.
"Luna, why don't you go to bed so late?"
The girl looked up and was also a little surprised that Wayne was here, replied softly: "I couldn't sleep tonight, so I came out to watch the latest episode of "The Quibbler."
Wayne touched her head: "Since it's such a coincidence, then come with me later. It just so happens that I need a pillow tonight."
Luna nodded obediently.
After watching the interaction between the two calmly, Helena's eyes were full of disgust.
Scumbag billion! .
