In the suburbs of Nottingham, a house stands alone with no residents around it.
Even if there are pedestrians passing by occasionally, they just turn a blind eye to them, as if they don't see anything.
Likewise, they couldn't hear any sound coming from inside.
For example, heart-rending screams.
In a cozy bedroom, three strange-looking creatures hugged each other in fear. They were short in stature, gray-yellow in color, and their round heads were much larger than human heads.
These are three goblins.
They pressed hard against the wall behind them. The younger goblin was held in his mother's arms, and his eyes were covered with force.
The husband trembled and stood in front of them. It looked at the figure standing in the center of the bedroom, its eyes full of fear.
This figure was wearing a dark witch robe, a hood, and his face covered.
He pointed his wand at the leader of the goblins and shouted harshly: "Speak quickly!"
"Where is the thing?!"
The goblin's face was full of tangled expressions, and the black shadow gradually lost patience.
He didn't give these goblins a chance to quibble and shot a spell without hesitation.
"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"
The shrill screams sounded again, spreading from the bedroom to the luxuriously furnished living room.
But the atmosphere here is completely different.
An exquisite sofa is placed facing away from the bedroom and facing the wide window.
Outside the window is a clear and beautiful scenery, with light clouds and mist lingering on the top of the mountain, and green grass reaching to the foot of the mountain.
A young and beautiful woman stood respectfully on the side of the sofa, with a slightly lowered head and a face that was very similar to Andromeda.
Now, there is an unabashed fanaticism on it.
"Exquisite creation."
At this time, a cold voice came from the sofa, and the surprisingly long fingers stretched the silver cup that had been studied repeatedly out of the armrest.
Then, the fingers loosened.
The precious silverware was thrown onto the luxurious carpet like garbage, and the dull sound when it landed was completely covered up by another scream.
"Owner......"
The fervor on Bellatrix's face intensified, and she couldn't help but cry out in a low voice.
The figure on the sofa did not respond to her. A copy of the "Daily Prophet" that was just released this morning floated up from the coffee table and slowly landed directly opposite the sofa.
Printed on the front page was a bold title: [Malfoy Manor Searched: Hidden Cellar and Countless Dark Magic Items]
The text reads: [Reported by our reporter Rita Skeeter.Recently, under the leadership of Alastor Moody, the Auror of the Ministry of Magic, Malfoy Manor underwent a rigorous search. 】
[During the search, they discovered a basement that had been hidden for an unknown period of time. The types and quantities of black magic items inside were eye-opening, and the staff who went to search couldn't help but wonder when they suddenly appeared. In Knockturn Alley. 】
[Perhaps, this is just a branch opened by Borgin Burke in the basement of Malfoy Manor, although the scale of this branch may be much larger than the main store...]
The figure on the sofa let out a sneer of unknown meaning.Bellatrix said contemptuously from the side: "A secret place like the family secret room can be found so easily by those idiots from the Ministry of Magic. Malfoy is really stupid."
The figure ignored her words and slowly opened the newspaper.
On the second page, there is also a line of bolded headlines, but this time the name of the reporter who reported the report is not written.
This is an anonymous article.
The title reads: [A murderer with high status? 】
The text of the article is filled with a lot of metaphors. It mainly tells the story of a centaur and a house elf who fell in love with each other, but were opposed by another centaur.
The opposing centaurs believed that this behavior greatly offended the dignity of their race, and even wanted to kill the house elves.
At the end of the story, the opponents did not succeed, and the two people who loved each other finally lived happily together.
This article is not long and can only be regarded as a moderate fairy tale.But it was full of controversy, especially when it was published on the second page.
The most important thing is that in recent days, it has been reported that Andromeda Black was expelled from the family precisely because she fell in love with a Muggle-born - Ted Tonks.
"Damn traitor!"
The expression on Bellatrix's face had already become furious, and her beautiful face was gradually distorted by anger. She cursed in a low voice: "Don't let me find out where they are hiding. This is a shameful betrayal!"
"And Lucius, that idiot, can't even handle such a small thing! You have obviously provided him with so much help generously, but he still hasn't killed even a single Mudblood! He even had the nerve to come to me. help!"
"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get away and was busy with the things you ordered, master, how could they still be alive today..."
At this time, the figure on the sofa glanced at her faintly, and Bellatrix immediately lowered her head in fear.
"I don't mean to blame you, Master."
"It is an honor to serve you..."
On the other side, the screams coming from the bedroom gradually weakened, but soon another voice suddenly sounded, even more shrill than the previous one.
The figure returned his gaze to the newspaper. At the bottom of the second page was another report.
[First-year students won the Silver Award for Pioneering Contribution at the Cairo International Alchemy Congress]
Under the title, there is a moving photo.
But Gaspard remained motionless in the photo. He held the silver medal trophy in both hands and looked at the camera expressionlessly, with only a thin blue line dancing back and forth around him.
Gaspard didn't look happy at all, but rather depressed.
The text of the article details the extraordinary alchemical item of magic thread, and even ventures to speculate whether it will be included in the Hogwarts back-to-school shopping list.
However, at the end of the article, it was mentioned that the reason why Gespard did not win the gold medal was because the judges raised appropriate questions about the content he kept secret.
Although it was not clear which part he was referring to, Gespard did not respond to this, which resulted in him only receiving a silver medal in the end.
"Excellent talent."
The figure on the sofa commented in a cold voice: "Know how to hide your own secrets, even in the face of temptation."
It seems that in the eyes of the figure, Gaspard's character is more valuable than his achievements.
Bellatrix's head was buried low.
This time, she didn't dare to say anything.
For fear of losing the hard-earned reward.
