Now there are two paths before Lukewood, one is to take the opportunity to take all the money in Anthony Weasley's vault and fly away, the other is to obey the new king.
No one is loyal forever, and anyone will be shaken to some extent when faced with this choice.
Especially the environment has changed, and he has escaped from Azkaban and gained freedom.
When he walked on the street, he watched the pedestrians hurrying, watched the children playing, and watched his wife smilingly handing the wrapped bread to the guests, wiping sweat with a handkerchief.
Everything seemed to have gone away from him, and only the pastry shop in the corner of Diagon Alley remained in his eyes.
The customer has left, and my wife is packing up the things in the store.
Rookwood didn't rush in excitedly. He didn't know what would happen after being imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years. Maybe she had remarried.
His wife did not owe him anything, but was implicated because he was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Magic.
Rookwood didn't know how his wife survived that period of reckoning.
It must be hard, he knew.
He met this beautiful girl when he was studying at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After graduation, the two had a romantic wedding. His wife supported him in returning to England to restore the glory of the Rookwood family, and he lived up to her expectations.
He joined the Ministry of Magic and became the Silent Person.
Everything seems to be going smoothly, a career that everyone respects, and a beautiful and virtuous wife.
Until the Dark Lord named Voldemort appeared.
Pureblood supremacy, what a wonderful title, he saw the opportunity for the rise of the Rookwood family.
However, everything seemed to be different from what he imagined. His identity as a Death Eater could not bring him anything, except for the huge hooded black robe and the metal mask that he dared not take off.
Rookwood stood on the street corner for a long, long time.
Until nightfall, when the wife started to pack things in the shop, a man in a hurry appeared at the door of the shop.
"..."
Rookwood pursed his lips and watched this scene in silence.
He sighed slightly, tightened the hood of the wizard's robe, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Huh?"
I saw the man turning sideways, revealing a delicate but weathered face.
He has a high nose bridge, platinum blond hair, gray-blue eyes, and his skin has the unique pallor of the Malfoy family.
Lucius!
"!!!"
Rookwood's eyes turned cold. He was also a Death Eater. He had been in a cell for more than ten years, but Lucius was free and at ease outside. What's more, he dared to touch his wife?
It is unbearable!
Zhengzhengzheng~
Dagger-like bear claws stabbed out from the ends of his fingers. He took a deep breath to calm down.
Anton's transformation into his constant animal form seems to be through emotional manipulation. When he is in agitated mood, it is especially easy to complete the transformation. He needs to use more spiritual power to control this new ability.
Soon, he saw his wife entering the house with Lucius.
After a while, the light in the second floor window came on.
In just an instant, Rookwood's wizard robe stirred, and his body suddenly burst out with infinite power, rushing towards the pastry shop at a speed far exceeding that of a normal human being.
Phew~
He raised one foot high and gently used it on the wall to use force, and gently grabbed the outer eaves of the window with two fingers. He jumped from the ground to the side of the window in an instant.
He felt that his heartbeat was extremely fast, the blood was hot and surging in his blood vessels, and his infinite power could not be squandered.
This feeling was amazing. He had never felt the power of his body like this.
His hearing seemed to have become extremely strong, and the two breathing sounds in the room could be clearly heard. In which direction, whether rapid or gentle, he could even feel the other person's emotions.
In just an instant, his waist and abdomen brought a lot of strength, and he turned over and jumped into the window. He kicked off the ground and appeared behind Lucius in an instant.
"Ms. Rookwood, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. I hope you can write a recommendation for this book..."
Before Lucius could finish his words, a huge fist hit his head.
Bang~
Lucius couldn't even react. He fell to the ground with a snap.
The physical version passed out.
"Merlin's beard!" The wife quickly pulled out her wand and pointed at the figure that suddenly appeared. This person was wrapped in a huge hooded wizard's robe, and his face could not be seen clearly.
but……
It's so familiar.
She also remembers turning into ashes.
"August..." She covered her mouth hard and looked at this man in disbelief.
Rookwood was silent for a moment, put down the hood on his head, and looked at his wife with a complex expression, "Audrey..."
Before he could say anything, his wife had already rushed over and grabbed the collar of his wizard robe with both hands, sobbing.
While crying, she hit his chest hard.
It was really hard, without the power of the big white bear, he was beaten until he grinned and cried.
He hugged his wife so hard, as if he never wanted to let go.
…
"Hey~ wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"It's no use, dear, look at me."
Wow~~
Rookwood looked at his wife blankly, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Audrey was feeling proud, and when she saw Rookwood's expression, she quickly put down the bucket, combed her hair, and smiled sheepishly, "You know, well, a beautiful lady living alone will always
It’s about dealing with various things.”
Rookwood touched her hair with some emotion, "Thank you for your hard work these years."
"Oh~Auguste~"
"Oh~Audrey~"
"Ahem~" Lucius spit out a mouthful of water, struggled to raise his head, stared at Rookwood with wide eyes, and quickly touched his coat pocket.
Audrey smiled and waved the wand on her left hand, "I guess you are looking for this."
Lucius glanced at the two of them, sighed, and lay back on the ground.
"You are so awesome for escaping from Azkaban."
Rookwood shrugged, didn't say anything, and just stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground.
"I bumped into you escaping from prison and was caught by you, but you haven't killed me yet." Lucius pondered for a moment and smiled softly, "It seems that you need my help."
"I need a channel to enter the Department of Mysteries, and I think you can provide me with a way. After that, I want you to help me leave the UK."
"Okay." Lucius agreed very readily.
Rookwood and his wife looked at each other, then looked at Lucius, "I know what kind of person you are. It seems that you also need my help, right?"
"Oh, don't say that, we used to be comrades in arms."
Lucius raised an eyebrow, "Of course, it would be better if you could do me a small favor."
"explain."
He quickly took out a thick tome from his woolen coat and said, "I need your wife to write a recommendation for me. She is a famous transfiguration expert. In fact, I have already found many people."
Rookwood was stunned for a moment, "That's it?"
"I think you should go to France. The Malfoy family doesn't have much power there. I hope you can help me run a bookstore and promote this book."
This can't stop Rookwood. This is obviously not an equal deal. Lucius, a greedy man, could have offered a higher price.
He stared at Lucius for a long time, and pulled the book from the other person's hand with an expression like "Are you kidding me?"
Look down.
