All things are three at Hogwarts

"Emily, how could you think of reading such a book?" Allen was a little curious as to why his little sister would be interested in such a boring book that obviously looked like information.

"Albert got this book back a few days ago. I saw him reading it even while eating a few days ago, but he refused to read it to me." Emily tilted her head and smiled sweetly. "Alan, no one has told me stories for a long time since you went to Hogwarts. Dad and the others only wanted to tell one or two paragraphs and didn't want to tell more. Today I will take it while Albert is not at home." He always hides things under the bed that he doesn't want us to see. Mom, Daisy, and I both know this... I want you to tell me like you did before, Alan, don't tell him. !”

Faced with the little request of his lovely sister, Allen of course agreed, brought milk and cake to his sister, and asked Emily to sit aside and eat obediently, and then Allen just like

Allen opened the book again and started telling his sister the story from the beginning. However, after a while, he found several lines of strange symbols and letters and numbers with unknown meanings written on one page. What was even more surprising was that there was a character that at first glance looked like It's a figure made up of little leprechauns. It's a skull, with a big python coming out of the skull's mouth, like a tongue - this is the dark mark of the mysterious man, but all the words are the handwriting of the big brother. , and it also comes with a signature, and the signature date was exactly one week ago.

"What is Albert doing? Is his mission related to the Death Eaters?" Allen wondered. Thinking of Albert who had not been home for the past few days and how distracted he was on the platform, he was a little worried about his elder brother. After all, Aurors are different from the police in the Muggle world. They are more like spies and have to complete various more dangerous tasks.

He apologized to his sister and promised to make up for it later. Allen quickly read the contents of the book, but he was even more worried about his brother's situation. According to records, this yellow diamond has gone through hardships since the 11th century AD. Anyone who covets it, Anyone who gets their hands on this gem meets bad luck.

Alan's concerns came to a head when he asked his father at dinner if he knew anything about Albert's situation.

Owen didn't have much reaction to this. Not seeing anyone for several days was basically a common occurrence for the Auror job. This was not the first time that this had happened to Albert since he started working. Morgan Le Fay was actually attracted by Albert. Lun's attitude made him a little nervous, and he began to worry about his eldest son.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!" Just when Owen was asked by his wife and turned from confident to a little worried, someone knocked on the door knocker of Harris' house.

Morgan Le Fay motioned to her eldest daughter Daisy to take Emily back to her room first. No matter who would choose to visit on such a windy and snowy night, it would be better for the little girl to go back to her room to sleep first.

Owen Harris, who was a little nervous just now, took out his wand and held it in his hand. He walked over slowly, looked outside through the peephole and opened the door directly.

A tall, bald, dark-skinned purple-robed wizard came in with Feng Xue, then took off his purple round hat and shook the snow on it: "I'm sorry, Owen, to bother you so late, but I There are compelling reasons.”

A deep and slow voice that seemed to calm people sounded in the room, and Allen noticed that the black wizard was wearing a golden earring on one ear.

"Kingsley, what made you come here in such a heavy snowstorm? Did something happen to Albert?" Owen's tone also became very worried - the members of the Harris family stared at him with sharp eyes. Looking at this uninvited guest, Morgan Le Fay even clutched the clothes on his chest.

"Uh, well," facing everyone's gaze, Kingsley Shacklebolt sorted out his thoughts before saying, "That's right, I received a notice from the Auror office last night. According to the plan, Albert should be there in the morning. After finishing the mission, he returned to the ministry to report on his work, but something unexpected happened and he has not returned yet, so I have to come in and talk to you."

Allen noticed that he was hesitant to speak. It seemed that Mr. Kingsley Shacklebolt was hiding something. Owen obviously noticed this, "No matter what, we can accept it, but what we want most now is What I know is whether it is possible to determine whether Albert is still safe?"

Although Morgan le Fay Harris was also very troubled by the news, she still suppressed her worries about her son and politely brewed a pot of black tea for Kingsley.

Kingsley took a sip of the milk-flavored hot tea and let out a satisfied sigh, "Thank you, Mrs. Harris. I have been observing outside your house for most of the day. It's so cold! Owen, Albert It should be safe, at least for now. Otherwise I wouldn't have found those sneaky guys trying to snoop outside your house looking for him this afternoon."

"Someone is looking for Albert? Why?" Mr. Harris grasped the key point keenly, and at the same time motioned to his wife to prepare some food. Allen held down his mother. As a mother who was worried about her son's safety, she remained dumbfounded. It's better here.

"I'll go." Allen stood up and walked to the kitchen. Fortunately, since practicing the wizard's body training, his five senses have become increasingly sharp, so it's not surprising that he can't hear the conversation in the living room.

"Albert took over a task assigned by the office before. I can't say what task it is yet." Kingsley saw Morgan Le Fay's question. "This is highly confidential. I'm sorry that I can't say it."

Allen guessed it was related to the so-called moon gem.

"Today in your village, I found three Indians wearing reddish-brown turbans. They were wearing white linen robes and trousers, followed by a brown-haired, handsome British boy who seemed to be your neighbor? This boy He was probably being coerced by them, and his expression was not very willing." At this time, the smell of the fragrant fried sausages made by Allen filled the whole room, and Kingsley couldn't help but swallowed, "Sorry, I've been hungry all day. !”

"It's okay, sir, you endure hunger and cold like this for us." Alan thoughtfully handed him the plate with fried sausages and toast, and Morgan Le Fay also waved his hand and let the teapot fly over by itself. Another cup of tea for Kingsley.

"What a polite boy. I hid behind the fence that separated the road and the yard at your house and found that the three Indians stared at your house after realizing that no one was around. They He ordered the little boy to stretch out his hand and poured something dark and ink-like into the little boy's hand. Then he touched his head with his hand and made a few gestures on his head. I guess this is India. There was something like Legilimency or Veritaserum over there, and they then started asking him questions like whether Albert lived here.

After they finished asking the questions, they made a few more gestures on the boy's head. The boy was awakened and then staggered into the house down the slope. Then the three Indians muttered for a while and left.

I thought these three people would come back, but now they are nowhere to be seen. But after I sought the director's opinion, we agreed that it would be best for you to leave for a while. The department agreed that you should suspend your work and take a vacation first. Kingsley persuaded Owen with a serious look and then asked him and Morgan Le Fay, "Have you noticed anything different about Albert recently?" For example, have you met anyone or searched for any information? "

The Harrises looked at each other, feeling that they had neglected their eldest son's work too much.

Allen thought for a while and handed the book recording the legend of the Moon Stone that he read to Emily today to Kingsley: "Albert has been loving reading this book recently. I don't know if it will be helpful to you. "

"Thank you, Allen. We will resolve this matter as soon as possible and get Albert back to you, without delaying your return to Hogwarts." Kingsley promised, it seems that this capable and proud man Luo has already figured out the basic situation at home.

"I will stay here to protect you tonight, Mrs. Harris. I will trouble you again." Kingsley's polite appearance made it difficult to imagine that he was a well-trained Auror.

"Of course, I'm happy to help you." Allen heard his mother's answer - if he hadn't noticed her tightly clasped hands under the table, Allen would have thought his mother was still calm.
