"Eileen, do you know Nymphadora Tonks?" Ivy asked casually.
"Why do you suddenly ask about her? Do you know her?" Irene asked doubtfully.
"We met when we were fetching water at noon...well...I was quite impressed."
"You're talking about her fancy hairstyle, right?" Wendy often went to the Ministry of Magic, and it seemed like she had been exposed to it.
"Are you familiar?"
"We have chatted several times." Wendy leaned back tactically, looked up at the ceiling and recalled, "I only remember that this guy is a talkative person. Every time we chat, he always complains to me, saying how boring and boring the current work is. If
It would be great to be an Auror, go out on adventures, etc. Anyway, it’s all similar.”
"Do you want to become an Auror..." Ivy's heart moved
"But her ability to change is really convenient, and it suits the Auror profession very well." Wendy added another sentence.
"By the way, I was just about to ask this. What is her ability? It seems like it can change at will. It doesn't look like some kind of magic effect."
"Of course magic won't work. Disguise Magus is much more powerful than magic. For now, Tonks is the only one in the wizarding world."
"Animagus?" Betty thought she heard wrongly
"It's a disguisemagus... he can change into whatever he wants. The intensity is not comparable to that of animagus." Erin corrected her.
"Can you really change anything you want?" Rebel didn't quite believe it.
"I've seen her head turn into a Tom," Erin said.
"Uh--Tom...yes..." Rebel faltered awkwardly.
"Tom and Jerry - the cartoon Tom and Jerry~haven't you seen it?"
"..."
Erin knew about this cartoon thanks to Ivy, who often watched it when he was a child. To be honest, even though he was already in his twenties at that time, he still thought it was good-looking.
"I heard she is Sirius' niece"
"Originally, there are five people in this generation of the Black family. The eldest daughter, Bellatrix Lestrange, is a Death Eater and the most important confidant of Voldemort - not one of them is currently imprisoned in
Azkaban. The second daughter Andromeda Tonks, who is also Tonks's mother, has passed away. The youngest daughter Narcissa Malfoy was also a Death Eater, as you can tell by her name - she married
Lucius is the mother of your classmate Draco Malfoy."
"In addition to these three sisters, Sirius also has a younger brother - Regulus Black. He also joined the Death Eaters, but he is already dead."
"...Their family is really full of talents." Rebelle has been coming to this family for a while. She has been influenced by her ears and eyes, and although she doesn't know much about the situation in the wizarding world, she at least knows that Death Eaters are not good people.
"During the time when Voldemort rose, this situation was very common." Wendy was a witness after all, and she knew it. "Most of the people in Slytherin College now have their families who have fallen into the Dark Lord's camp, but it's just that
It was just cleared up later.”
"Is it difficult to learn the Metamorphosis Magus?" Betty, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked
"I can't learn it." Erin waved her hands. "It's a talent, just like Parseltongue. If you don't have it, you don't have it."
.....
After eating and taking a lunch break, Ivy took Betty and Rebel out.
"Where are we going?" Rebel, who had eaten, drank, and had enough rest, was full of energy, and her bright eyes looked around frequently.
"Go to the water source and see if Tonks is still there. Come on - give me your hand"
"What?" Rebelle obediently put her palm into his.
Ivey didn't answer, first rolled up Rebel's sleeves, and then held her forearm.
In an instant, Rebelle felt a slight burning sensation coming from the contact point.
"Okay." Ivey released his palm, looked at the translucent mark and nodded with satisfaction.
"What is this?" Rebelli rubbed it curiously, and saw a silver round shadow that stood out against her wheatish skin. The internal pattern of the mark was not complicated, with two thickened curves starting from the center.
Extending to both sides of the frame, it looks a bit like Mazda's logo at first glance, but the curvature is larger.
"I told you that you don't understand, as long as I know I can protect you." Voldemort will be resurrected soon, and the situation will become chaotic again, and Ivey has to think of some ways to protect him.
"What's the danger in watching a game?"
"You can't say for sure! If those fanatical fans get too excited and use their wands as fireworks barrels... the campground will be blown up for you."
While chatting, they arrived at the water source. It was no longer as lively as it was at noon, and there were only seven or eight children playing next to the lonely faucet.
"Leaved?" Betty said
"It should be" Ivey glanced around and couldn't find anyone.
"Would you like to inquire?"
"Um"
It happened that... among the children playing around, a fat guy with a strong build who was bullying other friends caught Ivy's attention. The huge figure reminded Ivy of Harry's old cousin, Dudley.
"Give it back to me!" The thin little girl opposite stared at the fat man angrily, and her angry look was quite cute.
"It's Dumbledore!" The fat man ignored her, but excitedly held up an animated wizard card with Dumbledore's portrait on it. The fat on his cheeks trembled with excitement.
"Billy! Give it back to Lisa!" the little girl's friends were also scolding him for his behavior.
"Don't mind your own business!" The little fat man turned his round face and grinned, showing a fierce look.
"Hey, kid"
The sudden shouts made them turn around. Under the setting sun, a tall figure slowly stepped forward. With the sun behind him, his face could not be seen clearly.
"What's the matter?" The fat man named Billy looked a little timid when he saw Ivy's tall figure, but he seemed more polite when he spoke.
"Did you see a strange woman with pink hair?" The black shadow slowly covered several people, and Ivy, who was standing in front of Billy, looked at him condescendingly.
"Strange - strange - woman, so... seems... not seen"
"Huh?" Ivey pretended to be dissatisfied, and his calm eyes became dangerous.
"I really didn't lie to you! I just came here not long ago!" Billy said with strength, holding on to his trembling body. He regretted that he shouldn't have come here when he saw someone opening a card.
"Are you talking about the lady with hair like bubble gum?" In contrast, the thin girl named Lisa was very calm. She waved her hands twice and asked uncertainly.
"That's right"
"That's right, sir. About half an hour ago, a wizard wearing a Quidditch robe asked her to patrol the field." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the other end of the forest.
"Really?" Ivy smoothly took the card from Billy's hand, handed it to Lisa, and then touched her head, "Good girl."
After getting the news, they immediately entered the forest. Before leaving, Ivey deliberately glared at Billy, scaring the little fat man to death.
.....
"Speaking of...I've been walking for such a long time, but I still haven't seen the magical animal you mentioned?" Rebel said with some disappointment as she walked through the forest.
"This is still Muggle territory, so of course you can't see them." Ivy replied casually, "Besides, it's not like you haven't seen magical animals before. You have two at home."
"No matter how amazing they are, aren't they just cats and dogs...what's there to see?" Rebellious rolled her eyes at him.
"Then I'll get you two copies of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them later, so you can enjoy yourself first."
While chatting, the three of them arrived at the edge of the forest.
"Huh?" With a slight doubt, Rebel, who was about to walk out of the forest, suddenly stood still. She still had an unclear expression on her face, but a flash of anxiety flashed in her eyes. At the same time, the magic seal on Rebel's arm suddenly lit up.
.After a while, it returned to normal.
"What's going on?" Ivey was fine. She thought it was a deliberate attack on her, and her mental strength immediately went on alert.
"It seems to be a spell to expel Muggles." Betty stared at the empty space in front of her thoughtfully. "Because we are wizards, we are not affected."
"I'm fine." Rebel's answer also confirmed Betty's guess. "I just suddenly remembered that Ollie hasn't been fed yet."
"That's right. The effect of the spell is that when a Muggle approaches, they will suddenly think of urgent matters and then walk away in a hurry."
"It's fine," Ivey said worriedly. He searched around again and took back his strength after confirming that there was no threat.
"Let's go in, let's go in quickly." The sudden episode did not disturb Rebel's interest. She urged the two of them, eager to enter and watch.
The moment they stepped out of the forest, everyone was enveloped by a huge shadow.
In the empty valley, under the afterglow of the setting sun, a majestic building similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum stands majestically. The white marble-like stone slab walls reflect the red clouds in the sky, like hollow tulle, solemn and gorgeous.
However, Aiwei and the others could not appreciate such beautiful scenery. With their sight blocked, they were dazzled by the exquisite reliefs on the wall.
“It’s really spectacular.”
“Really beautiful”
The exquisite carvings made Rebel and Betty express their admiration one after another. This kind of medieval style building is quite impressive when seen up close.
"It's very spacious." But an artistic idiot like Ivey can't appreciate relief sculptures at all. His aesthetic only needs to be large and grand enough.
"Sorry - everyone." Unfortunately, I couldn't appreciate it for a moment. A witch from the Ministry of Magic walked out of the entrance and said, "It's not yet the opening time. Visiting is declined."
She is not tall, fat, and has no outstanding appearance.
"I'm sorry." Faced with the staff's dissuasion, Ivey apologized and then said, "My name is Avi Shafiq, and I was invited by Minister Fudge to visit the venue. These two are my family members."
"Shafiq..." Although it was just a random sentence from Ivey, the name of the Shafiq family is indeed very useful. The witch pondered for a long time and then spoke again, "It's not that I have any doubts about what you said. As far as I know
, the heir of the Shafiq family is only a third-year student at Hogwarts, but your appearance seems..."
"It doesn't matter, I was negligent. Because I grew up early, I look very mature. It's a matter of identity..." After saying that, Ivey closed his breath and concentrated. Suddenly, a wave of air spread from his body, stirring up the grass and trees in the sky.
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. But out of duty, I will report the matter and ask for your forgiveness." Feeling the magic power of Ivey that boils like boiling water, there is no need to doubt the identity of the person who came.
.
"Of course, we took the liberty." Ivey was very cooperative. After all, it was his whim, and the security personnel were doing it as a matter of routine. As for the report, he didn't take it to heart at all. Ivey believed that as long as his identity was confirmed, even if it was
Fudge wouldn't have a problem with that either.
After successfully passing the customs, the three of them walked straight to the venue.
A small accident like this that wasn't even an episode didn't make Avi think much about it. But he still missed one thing. Although he knew that Bertha Jorkins was a key figure, he had never seen her, or even met her.
