The right way to attack Moriarty

Jim tried many ways to say a few words to Newt.

Unfortunately, all failed.

At the beginning, he tried to meet and talk with Newt, but later, he gave up completely.He blocked the door of Hufflepuff all day long, almost trying to identify all the people in Hufflepuff, but he still couldn't find Newt.

It made the whole of Hogwarts know that he was looking for Newt.However, he still hadn't found Newt.If it wasn't for seeing Newt at the school opening banquet before, Jim would even suspect that Newt wouldn't have come to school at all this semester.

Speaking of the opening banquet, Jim said he was also very desperate.At that time, his eyes were closely following Newt, and he planned to run to Hufflepuff's long table as soon as the principal finished speaking, but who knew that Newt would disappear after the principal finished speaking!

He even sends letters to Newt through the owls in the owl shed, however, it fails without exception.The letter on the owl's leg is sent out, and it will come back again, without even moving it, let alone removing it for reading.

Although Newt didn't reply to him, Jim accurately captured what Newt meant.

Newt didn't want to hear his explanation.

Jim sighed deeply and extinguished the tobacco in his hand.The black lake outside Slytherin was pitch black, and the sun could not be seen, which was very similar to Jim's mood at this time.

The unique fishy smell of the lake seems to spread in along the window, pass through the nasal cavity, and pass into the mouth.

A fishy smell.

The project of witchcraft experimentation continues.

The feasibility of the proposition about the integrity of the soul and immortality has been verified.Grindelwald and the others are still continuing to study the so-called how to divide the soul, but he no longer needs it.

Jim lit another cigarette, and his mouth felt a little fishy.

He has learned the bonding technique of the soul.

Jim looked at the endless lake outside, his heart was dark, he was lost, and the emptiness made people panic.

Will Newt forgive him if he withdraws from that project?

No way, Jim sighed deeply, lowered his head in frustration, the burning tobacco spread to his fingers little by little, but Jim didn't notice it at all.

The smell of burnt fingers spread throughout the room.

Jim smelled burnt protein, and his first reaction was whether the Hufflepuff schedule was still there.He breathed a long sigh of relief when he confirmed that the parchment on which Newt's class schedule was written was still intact.

He managed to get a copy of Hufflepuff's schedule, which he treasured very much.In fact, he cherishes everything related to Newt now.

Jim touched the worn cuffs on his sleeves and sighed deeply.

In the days that followed, Jim skipped all his classes.Carrying Hufflepuff's timetable all day long, wandering around the door of each classroom, trying to block Newt directly when get out of class is over or in class.

However, even though he was the first to appear at the classroom door and the last to leave the classroom door every day, he never saw Newt.

Maybe he didn't come to class again?Jim touched his cuff, thinking uncertainly.

Maybe I went to study something else, maybe it has something to do with magic?Jim comforted himself like this. Every time Newt skipped class before, it was because of him. This time, it should be the same, right?

Although I know that this is just self-deceiving comfort, at least, every time I think about it like this, I will always feel a little comfort in my heart, so as to cover up the panic that has been floating around.

Even when he was kicked out of the house by Moriarty, Jim had never been so flustered.

As if I was a piece of duckweed, floating around, not knowing where to go.

There is no foundation, no support, everything is passing through the hands along the water, and you hold your hands tightly thinking that you have grasped everything. In fact, they just pass by your world, and what is left in the end is the loneliness of a person.

Jim's house has been smoky and smoky these days, with cigarette butts everywhere, dirty and messy.Jim, however, was in no mood to tidy up the house, nor was he in any mood to take care of himself.

Until the day he met Dumbledore again.

"You came to find Newt?" the handsome transfiguration teacher looked at the young man at the door and asked clearly.

"Uh, did he not come to class again?" Jim asked uncertainly.

"No, Newt has been in class this semester, wait a minute," the Transfiguration professor looked around the room, "Newt." Any figure indicated that Newt had left early in the morning. The handsome man shook his head, "He may be gone. It's okay. He has been in class for the past few days. It's the same when you come to him in the next class."

"No," Jim said bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't see the slightest difference on his face.

Newt was like a gust of wind, you thought he would always be there, but in just an inadvertent moment, he completely disappeared from the entire Hogwarts.

Jim tried many other methods, however, all failed.

Newt doesn't have many people around him, and there are almost no friends who have been in close contact with him.Jim asked someone to pass the news several times, and without exception, they all said they didn't know where Newt was.

Even if Jim wanted to find someone to help deliver the news, no one could help.

Hufflepuff could talk to Newt, except for Gavin who often helped him with his homework, and those on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

"Newt?" June looked at Jim a little strangely, "What conflict happened between you and our handsome Seeker?"

Jim bit his lip: "I wanted to ask him to explain clearly, but I couldn't find him."

"Actually, I don't know what Newt is doing recently. Everyone says that you can't find Newt very often." June said regretfully, "Actually, I can't help you, why don't you go to Quidditch?" Odd Stadium? Every Friday, Newt is supposed to practice there."

"We recently had a new Keeper, you know," June explained, "We're not like Slytherins, and every time we change, the whole Hufflepuff Quidditch team has a private chat." We will start training about two months in advance to prepare for this year's Quidditch Cup. Well, every Friday afternoon, you go to the Quidditch training ground to have a look, maybe you can meet him."

"However, I can't say for sure," June shrugged, "Newt has been really weird recently. I heard from the little Hufflepuffs in fifth grade that he was going to class, and with a blink of an eye, Newt The Tets are gone. One second Newt is sitting next to you listening to a lecture, and the next second he's gone. It's almost a Hufflepuff mystery."

June is right that, unlike Slytherin, Hufflepuff Quidditch has a fairly long break-in in private every time it changes.

This year's Quidditch team has changed the goalkeeper. The Hufflepuffs' chasers and batters need to train with the goalkeeper and learn from each other. This has directly caused their training frequency to almost double this year. .

There are still two months before Halloween, and they have already started to apply for venues and conduct training.

"Go on!" A batsman slammed the Bludger into the air, and the Bludger turned a corner and headed for the goalkeeper.

The newly appointed goalkeeper was a little panicked, and the Bludger hit him straight.He subconsciously held his head and let the Bludger go straight into the basket.

The batsman glared at the second-year Hufflepuff keeper with a very rough tone.

"Come again!"

After several rounds, the goalkeeper finally became familiar with the entire game process, and was no longer at a loss when facing the straight approaching Bludger or Quaffle, but was able to use a broom or hands and feet, or other things, to successfully pass the ball. The ball flies.

A Quidditch fight was hearty.

When Newt got off the broom, everyone was greeting the new goalie.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, isn't it just a ball?"

"That's right, even if you get hit, you can at most go to the medical room to drink a bottle of potion and lie down for a day, what a big deal!"

"Don't be too impatient, hold on."

……

Newt didn't want to greet these people, he took a few steps forward, intending to use the time-turner to leave directly.

"Newt!" Newt was slapped behind him, and Newt turned his head to find that it was another Hufflepuff Chaser.

"What's wrong?" Newt stopped and asked him back.

"What have you been up to lately? I can't see you anymore." The Hufflepuff Chaser asked him casually.

Newt smiled: "What about you?"

The man shrugged: "I'm busy choosing courses. By the way, you are also in the fifth grade this year. Have you taken the elective courses in the whole school?"

The Chaser was a sixth-year Hufflepuff, a year older than Newt.The two have always cooperated well in Quidditch matches, so they can talk a few words in private, and they can barely be regarded as casual friends.

While the two were talking, the only Seeker on the field came from the goalkeeper, picked up a towel beside him to wipe off his sweat, and asked Newt casually. "That's right, Newt, what did you choose for this year's school-wide elective? As someone who has experienced it, can you give me some advice for a fourth grader who has just entered the senior class?"

"Come on, it's as if you didn't have electives in the second and third grades. But you, Newt, choose the electives in the fifth grade carefully. I'm a person who has experienced it," another Chaser snapped. Patting Newt on the shoulder, he said earnestly, "Today I will reluctantly fulfill my obligation as a senior to remind you that the elective courses in the fifth grade are very important for your qualification exam. You'd better choose some easier elective courses, so as to This frees up time to prepare for qualifying exams."

"Do you have any recommendations?" Newt smiled, "As a senior, what would you recommend to your juniors?"

The Chaser was about to say something when he suddenly pointed to the door: "That little silver-green snake at the door is looking for you?"

Newt looked in the direction of the Chaser and saw Jim immediately.

"No." Newt's smile disappeared immediately, and he returned to his expressionless look again.

The Chaser whistled frivolously, and sized Jim up with unscrupulous eyes.

"Shoulders are broad and body is long, legs are slender, the waist looks very thin and powerful, and the hips are quite upturned. This should look good, tsk," the Chaser's eyes are mixed with some very adult scrutiny, "Yo, It's still a Slytherin. If this kind of top-notch stuff doesn't belong to your family, then I'll take it?"

Newt was annoying Jim all the time.Every letter said that he knew he was wrong and he knew he was wrong. In fact, people still stay in that organization as usual.Yes, Jim did help Theseus report several dens, but that still couldn't change his bad attitude of admitting his mistakes and not correcting them!

Newt still has a lot of other things to deal with now, and time can't wait to break it into eight pieces. He really doesn't want to talk to Jim now, so he casually said: "Whatever you want, I have nothing to do with him now."
