Chapter 169 Family inheritance
At three o'clock in the morning, the three female residents in the black tea house who were supposed to be sleeping soundly were now each holding a cup of tea and listening to the story told by the only male resident.
"...Little A tremblingly pushed open the door of the public toilet from the inside. A thick liquid flowed from her feet. There was a ticking sound outside the door. At this time, a hand grabbed her from behind. shoulder, a low but harsh voice sounded in her ears..."
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of the door being opened on the coffee table.
"Zhi'er~"
Hermione and Margaery were so frightened that they hid back and hugged each other tightly. As soon as Esther saw this situation, she quickly grabbed Marne's arm and pretended that she was also frightened.
Things have to start a little earlier.
The three girls went back to the room to rest not long after Ma En left. Around six o'clock in the afternoon, both the front and rear legs woke up together. It happened to be dark, so they had to come and watch.
But it was too boring to just watch here, so a few of them studied to find something to do.
In the beginning, it was a four-player chess game, and Esther kept winning. Later, Margery got so bad that she started cheating, and she became the winner. She didn't quite understand Mahn, but... Mahn's chess skills were basically good. Ignore it, everyone started to feel bored after playing for less than two hours.
Then they found two more dice and started competing. It wasn't boring, but after repairing the table that was blown up because everyone cheated together for the third time, they had to give up the game.
In the end it was Hermione who suggested telling stories, taking turns telling the story.
The stories of the three girls were lackluster. Margery told a fairy tale, Esther told a story about being buried for love, and Hermione made up a story in which the hero and heroine went through many experiences and finally came together---if Marn guessed right, this should be a copycat version of Lockhart's new novel.
When it was Ma En's turn...he had an idea and slightly adapted the ghost story from the past, and used the method of "the more he listened to it, the more scared he became" to trick them into listening until now.
Ma En turned his head and glanced at the parchment. There was a sneaky figure looking around in the hot spring building, and soon walked back to the newly built storage room.
"Okay, stop talking, it's time to get to work." Ma En said, looking at the three girls curled up on the sofa.
They looked at the dark night sky outside...and shook their heads at the same time.
Ma En sighed: "Then you are waiting for me here?"
They shook their heads again.
"What should I do?"
"How about...trap them in the hot spring and talk about it tomorrow? Please finish telling us the story first." Margery said tentatively.
Ma En was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. He wished he could slap himself in the face for telling such a story in such a leisurely manner.
Seeing that the number of people in the hot spring building was increasing, and after the number stopped increasing, Ma En snapped his fingers, activated the door key preset on the disappearing cabinet, and moved it to an altitude of 1000 meters above the ground. , let it stay here.
Then he turned his head and continued to talk to several girls: "The low and harsh voice said, 'Little girl, you broke the toilet and you want to run away? You are fined 50 pounds.'"
"?" x3
"Hey, Marne, what story are you telling?" Hermione said angrily.
"A story about a broken toilet leaking? What happened?"
After a while of noise, the scary atmosphere was successfully eliminated. Several girls stood up and straightened their clothes angrily. Just as the people inside started talking, they gathered in front of the parchment and watched.
They were not in a hurry to catch these people, so why not listen to their plan here first, maybe there would be an unexpected harvest.
Hogwarts prohibits disembodiment. Unless it is a special door key like Marne, other door keys cannot be activated normally. Unless these people also have a phoenix, otherwise they are like turtles in the urn and have nowhere to escape.
But this is impossible. There are currently only three owned phoenixes in the entire wizarding world, and there are only two private phoenixes, both of which are in Hogwarts.
A person standing in front of him ordered in a low voice: "Have you remembered all the master's orders? Half of the people are following me to catch Harry in Gryffindor Tower. Remember, you have to survive. The other half of the people follow the two Go to the Hufflepuff common room and try not to make a big noise or disturb the Langley monster."
Ma En listened to the voice giving orders, then looked at his size, and his face twitched: "Is Voldemort crazy?"
"He... is indeed not normal..." Margery's expression was a bit awkward, and her face kept twitching, as if she had seen something funny.
Hermione asked a little strangely: "What are you two talking about?"
Ma En pointed at the dark figure in the night: "Do you know who the leader and the number two he just pointed out are?"
"I don't know. Do you know him?"
"The leader is Crabbe's father, and the second is Goyle's father... How can I put it, the wisdom of these two families is basically the same."
Hermione was speechless and tried to control her expression. The attack on the school was a very serious matter after all, so it was not appropriate to laugh out loud. The frequency of muscle twitching on her face was gradually approaching that of Margaery.
"I don't think there's any problem," Esther said, putting the cold tea in her hand on the table. "Voldemort's men are not short of manpower now, especially good ones, but as long as they have a brain, they won't Will come to attack Hogwarts, and... I very much doubt that he deliberately sent these two guys to die, follow the family... It's very annoying, and besides, what if it succeeds? If you think about it, their The success rate is not that low, it’s just bad luck.”
Marn nodded. What Esther said actually makes sense. If he hadn't discovered the disappearing cabinet in advance, and Sirius hadn't deliberately made the werewolf relax his vigilance, they might have really caused danger.
After chatting for a while, several people's eyes were focused on the parchment again. At this time, the people inside had realized that something was wrong, and were running around like headless flies, releasing one or two powerful attack magic on the outer wall from time to time. .
It's a pity that Marn has taken care of this place. It is estimated that getting an Obscurus can almost blow open the wall. These guys... let's forget it.
But now how to deal with them has become a new problem.
Kill him, that's not appropriate. Their son is Draco's follower. He doesn't intend to embarrass Draco yet, but it doesn't seem like that if he doesn't kill him. These people are here to kill.
In the end, he had no choice but to call Old Wald and wake the old man up from his sweet sleep. Old Wald didn't care about such a small role at all. He just said to let Ma En figure it out and don't let him run away. That’s it.
