[HP] Devil is alive

Bill's death did not cause enough panic and attention, probably because the "murderer" had been found.Professor Lyons has been diagnosed with a mild mental illness - fatal for a wizard.Investigators found many wizard-produced potions in his home, and there were even a lot of Muggle medicines.

Of course, these news were all reported by the Daily Prophet, and only the Ministry of Magic knew whether it was true or not.

On the third day, Professor Lyons committed suicide.

The Ministry of Magic did not announce any more news until the Christmas holiday. Suicide was just suicide.Reigns is introverted and graduated from Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where there are very few boys, so he has few friends.He neither joined the Order of the Phoenix nor the Ministry of Magic, nor did he join the Endless City, whether he was wronged, whether there are other secrets here, when the evidence is biased towards him as the murderer, no one can find more clues from the dead clue.In other words, his death has fulfilled Bill's relatives and those who used him.

Headmaster Dumbledore found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor a little over a week after leaving school, and introduced them to everyone before the holidays - a young witch named Abigail.Lucius said that she was of mixed race, and also graduated from Adair College, where Beauxbaton was good at black magic (or defense), and she was very talented in magic.She is not currently involved in any organization, and it is true that the Ministry of Magic wants to win her over.

Putting aside the calm appearance of the magical world, there are dark undercurrents gradually rising, which is very clear to the Endless City, the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix.Just like how Voldemort left soon after he brought out Messiah and Nina that day, the change of something has driven everyone in it, and it has long been powerless to stop it.

……

This year's Christmas seems a bit deserted, perhaps because Voldemort went to Germany, so Messiah has less entanglements.If it weren't for the gifts being delivered in piles as usual, Messiah might feel the same as usual.

A peaceful vacation...that's fine.

The platinum boy came out of the fireplace and put the phoenix tears processed in the jungle hut into the cabinet.Next, you only need to go to the Forbidden Forest to get the blood of the unicorn, and the potion can be prepared.

"Baby Mia, you're back." Downstairs, Heber was sitting on the sofa looking at something, when he heard the voice raised his head and smiled at Messiah.

"Papa and Lucius aren't here..." Messiah looked around, then walked down the stairs to Hebe's side, "What is this?"

"A report... Sean died..." Heber said sadly, "Poor old Barton, he lost his son and daughter-in-law only this autumn, and now his grandson has gone with Merlin. He must be very sad. Yesterday Sean Eun also said hello to me, he didn't seem to have a thing at all..."

"How did he die?" Messiah picked up the newspaper on the table and quickly scanned it. He had also seen the young man in the photo, just a few days before Christmas.

What impressed the Messiah most was the cowardly and uneasy appearance of the young man, cowering like a cub that had lost all protection.

"The preliminary judgment was suicide, and the exact cause of death has not yet been found out," Heber said.

The papers also spoke of the dead Pattons, who had been attacked for unknown reasons and whose bodies had been found in the woods a few miles outside Endless City.At that time, only nearly three days had passed since Barton's family reported the crime. There were only some stumps left on the grass. It was unknown whether it was made by wild animals or the murderer. The scene was shocking.This case is the worst criminal case since the establishment of Endless City. The murderer has not been found yet, and the dark elves of the Department of Public Security are still working hard to investigate.

It may be that the death of his father has dealt too much blow to Sean Button.The Barton family declined in the generation of Sean's great-grandfather and owed huge debts. It was not until Sean's father took over that the Barton family made a turn for the better.When Sean was born, although the former glory of the Barton family could not be restored, they were finally able to be like ordinary people. His father loved him very much.Growing up in such an environment, Sean had much more admiration and dependence on his father than children in ordinary families. It can be said that the death of his father seemed to Sean to be like the sky falling.

Suicide is very possible.

"The Department of Justice will investigate." Messiah put down the newspaper, sat next to Hebe, stroking the woman's back, and comforted her.

"Ma'am, Master Messiah, sir and Master Lucius have returned." The butler came to the sofa, reminded him, and helped Heber hide the newspapers on the table in a well-trained manner.

Abraxas didn't like Heber looking at too many things that affect his emotions... Of course, the housekeeper "keeps" the hostess from sending some things to the hostess, and it must have been weighed.This can be regarded as a little love between their husband and wife...

"They came back together? Didn't Luce go on a date with his little girl?" Heber asked.

"Yes, they went to the study."

Hebe held the handle of the small lupin, tapped his palm lightly, and finally did not go up to disturb them.Abraxas brought Lucius back, there must be something wrong.If something really happened, Abraxas definitely didn't want her to worry too.

"Let me go up and have a look." Messiah patted the back of Heber's hand and stood up.

"Baby..." Hebe frowned. There was no difference between Messiah going up and her going up.

"Late good morning kiss," Messiah said, kissing Heber's cheek, "beautiful lady, you are also very charming today."

"Oh……"

There was a smile on the beautiful woman's lips, and what her youngest son said seemed to make her more gratified than countless costumes and jewels for her. In the end, she could only rely on the small fan in her hand to cover up the growing smile.Messiah smiled, took the silver plate from the butler, and walked step by step to the study on the second floor.

"Things...Mia?" Abraxas, who was sitting at the desk and talking to Lucius, raised his voice in surprise.

Messiah raised the tray on his hand, "I'll bring refreshments."

Not surprisingly, the tray in his hand was quickly taken over by Lucius.

The study on the second floor is usually Abraxas's office, and when Heber is in poor health, he usually handles affairs here.Compared with other rooms, the slightly "plain" room also has eye-catching highlights, not those important books that have been cast with a protective spell, nor the expensive set of out-of-print wooden furniture, nor other decorations ... Turning his head, a giant photo hanging on the wall - yes, that's it.

The background of this photo taken last year was by the lake in Malfoy Manor. Unlike other photos in the wizarding world, it was taken by an ordinary camera in the Muggle world, and it was still.In the picture, Messiah and Hebe are sitting in front, the youngest son of the Malfoy family is holding one hand by his mother, behind them the platinum patriarch and Prince Slytherin are standing side by side, his father's hand is lightly resting on his mother's shoulder, invisibly still A gesture of protection and respect.

It seems that this is an ordinary family portrait.Apart from zooming in to life size, even the clothes were not changed on purpose—and it is true that this photo was taken on a whim by Abraxas, and his proposal was approved by Heber, so the young couple looked Unlike parents who have two children, and one of them is about to grow up, they half-persuaded and half-delayed their children.

It's obviously just an ordinary photo, but every time I see it, I always feel sore in my heart...

Abraxas and the others will smile warmly every time they face it...

The plain background, the plain clothes, when they are there, they abruptly make an ordinary photo look like a luminous body, which can be seen at a glance.

Is the smile on the photo too hot?Every small action spells an elusive word-happiness.

Messiah thought that he had only taken this photo for so many years in every lifetime.

"Mia?" Abraxas called out, diverting Messiah's attention from the photo to him, "Are you done?"

The messiah ran back to his bush hut the day after Christmas and wouldn't let anyone in for days.

"I'm done." Said Messiah, picked up his own black tea and found a place to sit down, with no intention of leaving.

Abraxas raised his eyebrows, and looked at Lucius.

"Mom is a little worried, you can't let me go out so soon," Messiah kindly reminded, "And I'm not a child."

"Well," Abraxas laughed, "as Malfoy, as a Slytherin, you know what's redundant and meaningless."

"Yes." He just wanted to do Heber a small favor on a whim. She just got the news that a familiar junior committed suicide, and her nerves are tense right now.

In order to facilitate Messiah's understanding, Abraxas repeated what he said just now: "Sean Barton committed suicide."

"I know this."

"St. Mungo's doctor diagnosed that he was in a very weak physical condition when he died, and he probably went on a hunger strike before his death... The investigation has basically concluded the case," Abraxas continued, "but before I The Ministry of Magic was on its way back to Endless City—because a small town on the way was auctioning snowy Christmas flowers, and your mother happened to like it very much. When I was approaching Endless City, I met some dark elves who were handling the case. It happened that the incident happened very close. So I went over to have a look. This thing is very... amazing, with all the snow around, and only the footprints of the deceased... that is, it is very likely that the deceased walked there by himself, and then put his head He buried himself in the snow and suffocated himself to death. Coincidentally, when he died, his body was also in a weak condition, and there was no sign of being manipulated by magic on his body, so he probably committed suicide."

"Buried your head in the snow to commit suicide." Messiah said noncommittally.

"Yes, and it is presumed that the time of his death was around 3 o'clock in the morning today - the middle of the night. His parents said that he was in a good state of mind that night and went upstairs to rest early. Before that, he suffered from insomnia. A few days. His father visited him in his room at eleven o'clock..."

Abraxas paused, "I only called Luce because the deceased was also a student of Slytherin..."

"He's Sissy's classmate," Lucius said, "not only that, but he also pursued Sissy. In the week that was about to end the sixth grade, he said he would fight me... Many people know it, and you should too Say it, Dad."

Lucius said meaningfully.

"I just want to make sure." Abraxas shrugged.

Messiah didn't know about it...

"Mia, I didn't tell you, because this kind of thing is completely meaningless." What's so good about a one-sided game, it seems that he is bullying others.

However, although no traces of being manipulated were found on the deceased, perhaps because this case was discovered early, the dark elves who were familiar with the elements found residual black magic waves on the deceased—is it a curse?Or spiritual magic?What does the similarity between the deceased and Sean mean?When Abraxas left, the dark elves had sent the dead to their elder Mu Luantot for further identification.

The reason why Abraxas said it now was because he was worried about what would happen when the Department of Public Security and the Ministry of Magic approached Lucius.Research is ultimately an emotional affair for a child (in the eyes of the parents).Lucius was about to graduate from Hogwarts, so he didn't say it verbally, but as a parent, Abraxas still cared about the condition of his eldest son.The proud Slytherin prince must not tolerate some flaws...

Fortunately, the investigation was carried out very quickly. Lucius was only briefly questioned once before returning to school. Obviously, the murderer's method of committing the crime was beyond Lucius' ability.

By the end of the Christmas break, the students of Slytherin House had more or less received the news.No matter if they feel sad, angry or whatever, they can only wait for the investigation of the dark elves in peace. Compared with the Ministry of Magic, the Slytherins are more convinced by their own security department.

In the middle of the night, Snape, who was rushed to rest early by the Messiah, and the little rabbit who didn't know what was going on, each hugged each other and slept soundly.

The boy stood in the middle of the lounge, quietly moved the chair and the table, and drew three sets of magic circles on the ground—a large time-stop magic circle surrounded by four superimposed powerful invisible magic circles, and a small one next to it The control circle controls the activation of the time static circle, and on the other side is a round-trip teleportation circle that traps the search circle.The eight magic circles are in a triangular shape, occupying most of the space in the lounge. Searching for the magic circle will find another magic circle that he left in the prickly pear tree in the Forbidden Forest before the holiday. When the teleportation circle is activated, the hidden magic circle and time stillness will be activated at the same time. When the blood of the unicorn is obtained, at most three hidden magic circles will be consumed, and the last one can be supported by the static array until the teleportation array sends him back, and then all the magic circles are scrapped and disappear.

Just right……
