The thin clouds in the sky reflect the afterglow, lighting up the children's way home.
"Professor, these are my newly washed ones."
As soon as they approached the castle, Colin ran over waving a paper bag.
"Thank you, Colin."
Taking the paper bag, Aini handed the boy four galleons. Since he commissioned Colin to take embarrassing photos of Lockhart, he could now tell how many photos there were in the bag by squeezing them.
Colin thanked him and happily ran to the back of the team. He was waiting at the door to find Ani just by the way. The real purpose was to entrust Fred to purchase the developing potion.
Ani is not going to continue to use ugly photos to manipulate Lockhart. This kind of thing must never happen again, otherwise it will be a bit too bottomless. If it were not because the money had other uses and was not for personal gain, he would not use it at all.
This is how to deal with Lockhart.
However, since there was no limit set for Colin at the beginning, Ani will continue to fulfill the agreement in the future.
A few galleons were insignificant to him, but for Colin it was the first time he got paid for his hobbies, and it would even affect the boy's future life direction.
However, we still don’t know what the future will bring. If there is anyone who is happier about this matter than Colin himself, it must be Harry.
In the first few days of school, he was driven almost crazy by boys. God knew that Harry had tried his best to hide himself in remote corners, but Colin would find him every time, which was very confusing.
And since Colin started to keep an eye on Lockhart, the Boy-Who-Lived finally got rid of the fear of being stalked by paparazzi and idiot fans, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Harry, Harry!"
Ron is also very strange. His friend has often been in a daze recently. The chessboard has been set up over there, and Harry is still there with his chin in his hand and not knowing what to think.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
The boy suddenly came to his senses and rubbed his buzzing ears. He realized that at least one of the Weasley children was inferior to Ron. His voice was so loud that it could be used as a salute.
This happened seven times last week, and eleven times this week so far. Ron no longer wanted to speak, but pouted to the side when Harry looked over.
Seeing the chessboard laid out, Harry belatedly slapped his head. He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. He always felt as if he had missed something, but he couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he thought about it.
Unknowingly, Ani has changed a lot of things. I'm afraid he is telling Harry now - you were supposed to attend the ghost's dinner party tonight, and then met the hung petrified cat, and started another adventure from then on, boy
I will only listen to it as a joke.
Of course, the feeling of fate is too elusive, and the reason why Harry was in a daze is actually very simple.
Without Colin's entanglement, the boy's life is more leisurely and he has more opportunities to discover beauty.
For example...
A certain Cho Chang flew by during Quidditch practice...
A certain Qiu Zhang glanced at while dining...
A certain Qiu Zhang passing by in the corridor...
It's just that Harry is now an innocent boy who has had his first heartbeat, and he is still confused and confused about the situation.
Even if a figure occasionally flashes in my mind, I always want to touch something with my hands.
"Zhizhi~"
Banban grumbled helplessly, saying that he was not a real pet mouse. It was very disturbing to be touched here and there by someone of the same sex.
Yes, it’s right here, try harder~
The fat mouse turned over. After all, he was not a human now and couldn't resist. He might as well lie down comfortably.
"Come on, Harry, if you want to play with mice, you have plenty of time at night."
Hearing this, Harry rolled his eyes. What does "playing with mice" mean? There is plenty of time at night, and he said it as if he wanted to do something weird.
Banban is also very dissatisfied. If he can't speak to others, he will shut up. He really should be able to get whatever he wants from him!
The problem is that in Peter's current form, he really can only let Ron flatten and round him. As soon as he finished speaking, the boy came over, pulled it aside, and started playing chess with Harry.
Since the chess pieces on Harry's side would be killed miserably every time, Ron had to spend a lot of time to get them to agree to obey the boy's command honestly and to have a good time before the dinner.
.
After Harry was dragged away, Scabbers looked around, followed Lavender and quietly slipped out of the Gryffindor lounge.
Since discovering Ani's "secret" that day, Peter has often followed him around, looking for ways to replace him.
But he thinks that the secret tracking is a joke to Ani. Even if he doesn't open the eye of true seeing, his extraordinary five senses alone can make the mouse in the darkness have nowhere to hide.
Of course, Peter discovered more "secrets" under Aini's guidance, and felt that he was getting closer and closer to success. Powerful power and a long life seemed within reach.
But every time he reached the most critical place, he had to interrupt his action for various reasons. He still hasn't figured out how Ani contacted that mysterious existence.
If Mr. Pedillo, who had learned the essence of Gou Tao, still had a little doubt at the beginning, when Ani appeared in front of everyone the next day wearing a scarf and smelling of blood, most of Peter's remaining doubts were dispelled. What kind of things are easiest to win people’s trust?
Of course it is something that person is eager to look forward to!
Peter hopes that the demon god is real, hopes that he can replace Ani and become the other party's traveler, and hopes to gain the power and endless vitality to overwhelm the contemporary era. Naturally, he slowly denies some of the doubts from the depths of his heart.
.
The bald rat who once seemed to be hiding in the Weasley family for the rest of his life is now a bit stubborn.
He ridiculed Aini's false compassion and would risk angering the gods for others. It was simply stupid.
Peter heard the name of that adult, Hecate, a great being who had appeared in ancient records. Maybe many people just regarded those legends as fictional myths, but he would not.
As a member of the Marauders and a servant whom Voldemort personally conquered, Peter Pedillo is not a waste.
On the contrary, this traitor actually has very high attainments in certain fields. He is proficient in the history of magic and is good at layout. He has amazing insights when sorting out documents and can always extract and restore some clues.
Therefore, Peter knew that many of the legends that were considered to be fabrications, and some of them even flowed into the Muggle world, did have their prototypes, and they vaguely touched on things that were tried hard to bury in the dark ages.
He has been willing to be a mouse in the Weasley family for ten years, not only to avoid irritating the wronged Sirius, but also to avoid the deep darkness that spans time and space.
Various factors were put together in Peter's mind, making him more convinced of the scene in the Forbidden Forest.
Under the temptation of immortality, the previously firm Taoist heart has long been shattered. There are only ten million souls. If the sanctimonious young professor can't do it, it will not be a problem for Peter.
For him, as long as he can exchange for strength and lifespan, those ten million creatures are not his kind at all.
If it is beneficial to him, what's the harm in having the sacrifice ten times or a hundred times more?
