Joel watched Draco Malfoy leave Diagon Alley with a basket in one hand and Lucius in the other, and a heavy boulder was finally removed from his heart.
"What a good example to the children..." Mrs. Weasley muttered as she waved her wand to clean the dust on her husband's robes. "Thankfully it's outside. What would happen if Gilderoy Lockhart saw it?"
think……"
"Molly!" Mr. Weasley felt helpless, "What Malfoy said was so unpleasant."
"That's right, Mom," the twins acted as witnesses at this time, "I heard Malfoy and Malfoy talking nonsense and calling us pure-blood traitors."
"Brother Joel, did I look like what I just acted?" Ginny walked up to Joel holding the crucible and asked.
"What?" Joel didn't hear what Ginny said clearly. He saw Ellen walking out of the crucible shop carrying a large box and waved to him.
Ginny repeated the question, then wrinkled her nose, "Malfoy wanted to drop the basket just now, but there was no door!"
"By the way, what's the effect of that prank diary you put in the carrier?" She seemed to be very curious about these weird things, with a smile on her lips, "It can make him dizzy, his nose bleeds, and he foams at the mouth.
? Then I would be so happy."
Joel: "..."
"Absolutely," he answered vaguely, "This is also my first time using it."
Ron suddenly came over, "Li Zai Gan God Demon?"
He was chewing a few pieces of nougat in his mouth, and his words were difficult to hear. He and Hermione were each holding several signed books by Lockhart.
"You can't lie to my sister again," Ron put down the book in his hand, and then inserted himself between Joel and Ginny, "She is so naive and easy to be fooled!"
Ginny is innocent?
Joel turned his head to look at Ginny, who was blinking cutely, and thinking about what she said before, it seemed that Ginny was more thoughtful than Ron, who even believed that "the Sorting Ceremony involves fighting the Welsh Green Dragon".
At this time, Allen came over carrying a big box and sweating profusely.
"Are you done? I want to eat ice cream." He was a little weak. He had just used all his strength to grab the last limited-edition crucible among a group of senior students in the crucible shop.
"Okay," Joel started to leave, but suddenly remembered something, "Can you wait for me for two minutes?"
After getting Alan's consent, Joel stepped forward and came to Mr. Weasley's side.
"Mr. Weasley, can you come with me? I have something to say to you." Joel leaned close to Arthur Weasley and said softly.
Mr. Weasley turned to see that his wife was still causing trouble for the twins, and followed Joel to a remote corner.
"Sir, have you been searching Malfoy Manor recently?"
"That's right," Mr. Weasley nodded, "Someone reported that there were prohibited dark magic items in Malfoy Manor. Our people from the Ministry of Magic have been checking for several days, but nothing has been found."
This is not a secret. Joel must have heard the conversation between him and Lucius before the fight.
As for why no dark magic items were found in Malfoy Manor? Mr. Weasley is not stupid. He also knows that the Malfoy family has spies in the Ministry of Magic. Such a high-profile search will definitely not be effective.
"Let me tell you something..." Joel stood on tiptoe and leaned into Mr. Weasley's ear, "Little Malfoy has a diary in his hand that is a dark magic item. Lucius Malfoy doesn't know about it yet.
If you want to take action, hurry up."
Mr. Weasley's eyes lit up. He wanted to find Lucius's sore spot and stab him with a knife, but he didn't expect that Joel would provide a clue.
He patted Joel's shoulder hard, with a hint of approval on his face, "Uncle, thank you very much this time."
After solving all this, Joel took Allen and rushed to Florin's Cold Drink Shop, which was crowded with students. Eddie and Sergey had already eaten more than half of the box of ice cream and waved to them when they saw them.
"Guess who I just saw?" As soon as he sat down, Eddie came over and asked mysteriously. Sergey pursed his lips and remained silent.
Joel shook his head and stuffed a mouthful of ice cream into his mouth. The taste of cream mixed with jam was so delicious that it left a lingering aroma in his mouth.
"Sisters Selwyn!"
Joel raised his head suddenly, holding a spoon in his mouth, "Have you seen Haylis?"
"Not only me, Sergey also saw it," Eddie raised his eyebrows, "She seemed to be in a bad mood."
Joel sighed, not knowing how Haylis had been living for more than a month.
"You two had a fight?" Eddie asked.
"Hiss..." Allen hit Eddie's waist with his elbow, "You talk a lot, eat your ice cream quickly."
"Oh." Eddie also realized that his words were a bit inappropriate and quickly lowered his head and remained silent.
"There was no quarrel," Joel said after careful consideration. "She just had some trouble with her family. It's okay."
After purchasing supplies for school, Joel returned to his home in Godric's Hollow. Over the past month, he had changed all the furniture in the original room to his own liking, leaving the first floor for the kitchen and living room.
, three rooms are opened upstairs, a master bedroom, a guest bedroom and a study room.
Joel neatly stacked the books he purchased from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore on the bookshelf in the study room. When you open the window in the study room, you can see the garden downstairs and the orchards on the hillside in the distance. Joel also specially arranged two windows on the balcony.
Bring a chair and a tea table, and when you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can lie on the chair, make a pot of tea and look at the scenery outside.
He enjoys a relaxed and comfortable life, but the Malfoy family is not so leisurely.
On the afternoon of the second day of his trip to Diagon Alley, Draco Malfoy discovered the black diary tucked into Lockhart's autobiography. He knew that he had never bought such an old diary, so he quickly handed it over to
Lucius in the study.
"Where did you find this diary?" The moment Lucius saw Riddle's diary, his eyebrows were raised high, and he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"...In the basket I went shopping in Diagon Alley yesterday." Draco Malfoy answered honestly.
Lucius opened the diary and found a small piece of parchment inside.
Opening it, I found a few lines written on the paper:
I found this diary when I was sorting out the inheritance last time. I checked the accounts with Greengrass, Director of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and confirmed that this diary was not included in my parents' inheritance. It seems that you were not careful when you were checking and returning the inheritance.
Stuff it in and put it in your son's carrier when we meet in Diagon Alley and return it to you.
ps: The way you are pulling your hair out while being held down by Mr. Weasley is really cool.
The last sentence made Lucius furious, but now is not the time to be angry. The school day is getting closer and closer, and this diary must be sent to Hogwarts.
It was here that the shrill ringing of the doorbell reached their ears through the manor.
"What's going on?"
"Open the door and check the water meter!" Mr. Weasley's voice was full of anger.
