Magical Apparition 1

"Draco..." Pansy looked at Draco behind him with an unbelievable expression.

"Go back, Granger, we have nothing to talk about." Draco stroked the broken hair on his forehead, and walked around

Pansy, pass Hermione.

Just as Draco passed in front of her, Hermione took his arm gently for no reason, and Draco stopped walking, but he

Still not looking at Hermione, the surroundings fell silent, and even Pansy stopped screaming.Draco watched from the window at the end of the hall

The transmitted sunlight calmly reiterated again: "Go back." "Go back... Hermione, go back to our respective origins. Back to

Boundaries of blood, back to the world without contempt, you can still be a proud Granger.Don't be bound by blood, don't suffer

Don't look at other people's eyes, live with someone who loves you, and you will be happy. "Draco said silently in his heart, how he wished Hermione could listen

See, but he now preferred to believe that one day, Hermione would realize that too.Hermione's arm fell slowly, maybe she

Also chose to give up, Draco finally walked away, walking towards the end of the corridor.

"Draco!" Pansy yelled, recovering.

"You go back too, Parkinson, don't come again."

"Sorry..." Pansy murmured as Hermione walked downstairs, looking at Draco's back.

Old things are always replaced by new things immediately, and this phenomenon is particularly obvious in the press.When the "Dragon Exhibition" has gradually retreated

Out of people's sight, there has been no sensational news in the wizarding world for a long time, and today the new news occupying the front pages of major media

Smell, no doubt makes everyone feel worried. "Gregory Goyle was killed by black magic attack", huge headline, shocking

The scorched scene of the movie made everyone who talked about the news look gloomy.

When Theodore and Blaise rushed to the manor to find Draco, Draco had just fallen asleep, and the clock in the living room pointed to noon.

It's almost night.

Draco hurriedly put on his coat and walked to the living room.Blaise sat on the sofa with a pale face, almost speechless.West

Odo stood up and said simply, "The Aurors want us to go to Goyle's residence for investigation."

"...what happened?" Draco obviously felt that something bad had happened, but he hoped it was just a mistake

feel.

"Gregory is dead." Before Theodore could speak, Zambini said, and then he burst into tears, as if he had already started

Accept this fact.

Draco could hardly believe his ears, no one spoke, the still air was only the tick-tock of the pendulum clock.

"Clang"—the pendulum clock points to the time point of 01:30.

"Let's go take a look at his residence." After adjusting his mood slightly, Draco said calmly, and the three of them stood up tacitly

Come on, set off for the Berkshires.

After the war, most of Gore's family went to Australia, but Gore chose to stay in England. He said that Australia was strange to him.

Interesting, he prefers to stay in England, familiar surroundings, close friends.But Draco and the others knew it well, and there was a large part of the reason

Because of Pansy.Gore didn't like living alone in a big old house. He originally wanted to sell the garden, but the farm in the manor was

It is a very important source of income for the Gower family, and the magic herbs grown there are sold at very high prices in the market.He finally chose to move

Came out.

Zambini arranged for Gore to live in a village closer to the "City That Never Sleeps".Draco had advised Goyle to find another

He felt that the village was not safe.You know, the end of the only main road in the village leads to the "city that never sleeps".

The village was also gradually formed by many pure-bloods who saw the appeal of the "city that never sleeps", built houses here, and lived here.

Not even a definite name.

"It has a name, Draco, 'The Road That Never Sleeps.' I love it here." Goyle loved it when he moved here

I like this two-story bungalow. "It's going to be safe here, Draco." Zambini tried to talk Draco out of letting Goyle move out.

Thoughts, he thought it was a waste of time and energy.

They all knew in their hearts that Goyle was so fond of black magic that he was full of longing for the "City That Never Sleeps".He is no longer that single

Gore, who purely admires status and worships money, has changed since the Great War.

He doesn't believe in politics. From the beginning of Draco's work in the Ministry of Magic, Goyle has shown disdain: "Draco, only the strong

Only great magic can change the world, don't believe the words of those useless guys in the Ministry of Magic, only the weak who can't control the strong can

Will use literature to suppress capable people. "" Gore, only by following the rules can you show your ability, this is the rule, don't try

Try to break the rules, even that person can't do it, let alone you and me. ""No need to explain so much, Draco, you have always been timid

ghost. "You..." This unpleasant conversation made Draco almost rush forward and beat him awake.

"Okay, okay, today we're here to drink, not to quarrel." Zambini separated the two at the right time.Zambini never

Would irritate one of them because he remained neutral throughout, Nott reassured Draco and sat down.after this party

, the four of them still often meet to drink together, but avoid talking about politics and standpoints, or Gore still always emphasizes that the black devil

Law, and Draco remained noncommittal.

When Draco and his party came to Goyle's residence, what they saw was the charred wooden structure, which could barely

It is believed that there was once a building here.

"Let's go, let's go!" A group of Aurors were breaking through the crowd and leaving the house.

"It seems that their investigation is over. Maybe we can temporarily avoid the investigation." Theodore said.

Draco stepped forward, and several Ministry of Magic employees on duty were standing in the courtyard to prevent the curious from entering.

"We were ordered to take a look at the scene." Draco showed his ID.

"International Department of Magical Cooperation?" The employee looked at Draco with weird eyes, "I don't understand, this case has nothing to do with the international

What does the Department of Magic have to do with it? "

Draco shrugged helplessly, and took out another ID: "Who knows? Jonas asked me to come."

"Okay..." He finally compromised helplessly, "Anyway, the Auror Command has already been here, and you can see it if you want to."

harm. "

"I hate this kind of duty work." When Draco, Theodore, and Blaise walked towards the house, they heard the officer

The worker complained to another employee.

To the surprise of the three of Draco, they found someone else in the house.

"Hello, I'm the commander of the case at the Auror Command - Dana Garry." Garry stepped forward to talk to Draco, Bray

Si, Theodore shook hands one by one.

"Mr. Gary, is there anything we can do to help you?" Theodore asked Gary, who kept looking at them.

"As far as possible, you are friends before the deceased?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Gary, can you tell us the details of your observations before you suspect us?" Draco and Blaise have checked

After looking at the condition of the entire building, there was nothing but charcoal and ashes.

Gary looked at Draco with a stiff expression, and thought for a while: "Of course, but Mr. Malfoy, I don't doubt your intentions."

think.You come with me. "

"You have also seen the general situation in the room. We initially suspected that it was caused by black magic to burn this fire

Sample. "There is almost no furniture at the scene, and the sound of carbon and wood breaking can be heard even when stepping on the ground.

"We basically speculate that Goyle should have been burned to death at this location, except that the burn marks are more obvious here, we are here

Found the ring he was wearing, the gold watch, etc., which had been taken away by other Aurors, and his name was engraved on it. "

"What kind of ring are you looking for? Does it have a snake pattern?" Theodore suddenly became excited.

"...I didn't notice this, but there should be no patterns, it's a smooth ring." Hearing what Gary said, the three of them

Suddenly there was no sound.

"What about his body?" Zambini asked anxiously.

Gary shook his head helplessly: "I said it's a fire seed similar to Fiendfire, but it's not Fiendfire. We already have a short-term on-site

The spell of reproduction to restore the scene that had been burned by Fiendfire, but it didn't work here at all.We speculate from the composition of these particles that the corpse

Burned to ashes, but his pocket watch and ring showed no signs of melting, we are currently trying to explain this problem. "Gary

Pointing to the ashes and dust-like substance in the corner, he said.Both Theodore and Zambini felt serious, their reaction with Draco

Similarly, staring closely at the position Gary pointed to, trying to outline Goyle's appearance, Zambini was the first to shed tears.

"Sorry, I want to know, do you know that there was a protective spell cast on the gold and silver ornaments on Goyle before his death?

? ' asked Gary.

Zambini shook his head. "We didn't understand the situation," Knott explained.

"Mr. Malfoy?" Looking at the wandering Malfoy, Gary stepped forward with doubts, "Mr. Malfoy?" He pushed De

Laco, "Did you find anything?".

"Ah...not at all." Draco came back to his senses, he gently pressed his temple, "I'm sorry, my state is not

very good. ’ he raised his eyebrows apologetically.

"I can understand, so do you know that Goyle cast a protective spell on his ornaments before his death?"

"Not as far as I know. Any questions? We don't know much, though."

"Not for the time being. If there is any problem, I hope you can cooperate fully. After all, such an incident is more difficult. We

Need more information.If you find something, I hope you can let me know in time. "Gary said and put on the dragon leather hand

Trousers.

"Of course." Draco agreed, and followed Gary out.

"Are you going to stay for a while?" Walking to the foyer, Draco motioned Nott and Zambini to stop.gary see three

The man didn't intend to continue walking, so he turned around and asked.

"Yes, we'd like to see the scene again," Draco continued.

"Okay, maybe you guys want to find something else... but it's not possible, you know, other people have already searched

All items in the set are taken away. He pulled the brim of his hat, "Then, I'll go first." "

Draco nodded his goodbyes.

As soon as Gary left, Draco returned to the back room.

"I don't understand, Draco, what are you looking for?" Blaise was puzzled.Theodore had the same question, but he

did not speak.

"Fire source."

"what?"

Draco didn't answer anymore, he walked back and forth in the room, Blaise gave up on asking, and hesitated with Nott, discussing whether to

Collect Goyle's ashes.

"Don't you think there's something wrong?" Draco asked after a while.

"where?"

"According to Gehry, if Gore was used as a fire source to ignite the fire in the back room, then in the living room

There is another source of fire. "Draco walked to the position next to the cabinet, and most of the huge cabinet had been burned, leaving only one

Slightly incomplete frame: "The burn marks here are even worse than where Goyle was killed, and the burnt case from the standing cabinet is

can see. "

"Indeed." Nott stepped forward and agreed.

"What does that mean?" Zambini asked.

"The real fire," Draco said, pulling out his wand and starting to clear the ground.

"What are you looking for?" Nott just asked, Zambini had already seen what Draco was looking for: "Wood, Zaohe

Wood! "

"It seems that it is black magic, as the Aurors speculated." Draco stepped forward and picked up the wooden block on the ground, restoring the ground to its original state.

Original: "Let's go back to the manor first."

"Draco, tell me what you think, the current situation makes me feel extremely confused." Zambini asked eagerly, taking a sip of tea.

"When Gary said there was more fire than Fiercefire, I thought of 'Fire Soul'. He said that Goyle's body was burned to death

Shaped, but the gold ornaments showed signs of melting, which is a good proof. "

"Prove what?" Knott asked.And Zambini suddenly realized.

"The reason why 'Fire Soul' is more powerful than Fierce Fire is not because it is more lethal, but because it is extremely targeted.

One of the most evil magics, those who are attacked by the spell are bound to be locked into the fire and burned to death. "

Draco took Blaise's topic and continued: "This magic itself is combined with a curse, that is, witchcraft, so

It must need props, which can withstand all fires - Zaohemu. "

"But no one knows how to cast 'Fire Soul', and I've only read a brief introduction to this kind of black magic in books." Della

Co was lost in thought.

"Draco, do you think it has something to do with the books Gregory found?" Hearing Zambini's inference, Theodore and Della

Koto looked at him.

"If it's what you say, Blaise, then there are only two possibilities. First, someone else has read these books and said something to Goyle.

Second, Goyle had an accident in the process of casting the spell, making himself a victim. "Theodore analysis.

"But where did he get the Zaohe wood? Is it your piece, Draco?" Zambini reminded Draco, who from outside

He took out the wood from Gore's house in his pocket and observed it.

"No, the piece of the manor has been hit by a jinx and has a crack, but this piece of wood has not."

"Perhaps you should go and have a look at that piece of grass in the manor to make sure it's safe." Theodore's unintentional suggestion made De

Laco was startled, and he ran to the study on the second floor.

When Draco appeared in front of Zambini and Theodore again, his expression was not good, and he held a mahogany

Fang Box: "It's gone..."

The final chapter

"Draco, calm down first, where do you think about putting it? Or Lucius and Narcissa go to Croatia

I took it with me when I was in Asia. Theodore confronted the anxious Draco and told him to keep calm.

"Impossible, Theodore, no one has touched this piece of wood, it has not been used since it was cursed, because

The magic is hard to control after that time.Couldn't tell if it was harmful, so it's been kept in a back room under the study. "

"Maybe it was taken by someone other than the manor." Zambini hypothesized: "Draco, it's easy. Listen to me, manor

There is a forbidden curse, think about it, who has been in and out during this period? "

Draco recalled quickly, and he immediately thought of someone...

When Draco came to the hotel where Pansy lived, the situation inside was jaw-dropping, the strong smell of herbs filled his nostrils, and the table

Brown liquid was tumbling in the crucible, and the rising humidity permeated the small room, and the disgusting smell gradually wafted away.

Various books related to witch cups were scattered in a mess.

"Merlin, what kind of spell is Parkinson under?"

"It's not a spell, it's a witch cup." Theodore picked up a book on the ground and handed it to them.

The photo of Hermione cut out from the teacher's pictorial, "Draco, no wonder you have delusions."

"Does she want to be like Granger?!" Zambini couldn't imagine what a terrifying thought it was.

Theodore looked at Draco, who had his eyes fixed on Hermione's picture.

"Perhaps she wants to replace Hermione."

Before Theodore could finish speaking, Draco rushed out of the hotel. He should have considered that when Pansy expressed his feelings to him again,

At that moment, he sensed her determination, a determination that made people feel frightened.

"Wake up, Mudblood!" With a sharp cry, Hermione woke up from the nightmare.She tried to move her body, only to find

Finding himself chained to a stone pillar, Parkinson was looking at him elusively.

"Where is this? How did you bring me here?" Hermione tried to move her bound wrists, but it didn't help.she has some

Looking around uneasily, there is no window around, and the cold stone pillars support the weight from above the ceiling. The sound insulation here

It wasn't good, and Hermione could almost hear the messy trampling upstairs.But the cold breath still stubbornly envelops the place.

Around, the pool in the distance is chilling, and the sound of flowing water indicates that it is leading to a certain place.The stony ground underfoot is seeping water, making the

Everything was covered with wet coats. Hermione's sweater had already been stained with moisture from the stone pillars. The wet and cold feeling made Hermione want to leave quickly.

Opening here, she couldn't help struggling.

"It's not difficult for me to bring you here at all, have you forgotten? You came with me by yourself." Pan Xi looked arrogantly

The corners of her mouth turned up as if mocking Hermione for asking a stupid question.

Hermione was very surprised by Pansy's words. She tried to recall the situation of last night, but the memory after breaking up with Susan from the Broken Ax

But it was blank.

"Tsk tsk... stop guessing, look, you frowning..." Pansy walked behind Hermione with a strange tone,

Untie the knot. "It's witchcraft, the magic that wizards in Asia like to use."

Hermione threw away the rope on her body and moved her wrist. She sensitively fumbled for her clothes and found that the wand on her body was missing

She asked: "Where is this?" The Parkinson in front of her made her feel uneasy, and she looked around imperceptibly again, trying to find the nearest place.

mouth.But she soon realized that the exit must be hidden, because Parkinson didn't worry about escaping from here.

She even untied herself.

"You asked twice, Granger. Be patient, and I'll tell you." She stroked the cold stone pillar meaningfully, her eyes wandering

He moved his hands and looked up at the ceiling, "This is where all the black magic gathers, you may not even have heard of it." Night of the Night

city'!Piercing the floor beneath your feet hides the world's most vicious spells and artifacts. "

"What did you bring me here for?"

"What for? Do you even need to ask? Show your superficial 'know-it-all' what kind of magic can be magic!"

"I think I have to go back, Parkinson, if it's a visit, you can choose a weekend, at least I have to work today, exit

where? "Hermione said in a forced relaxed tone.

"Hehe... Mudblood, how could you not understand? Since you brought the head of the stubborn Magic Enforcement Department here, you didn't even think about it."

I'll let you go back later. "

"...Parkinson directly stated her malicious intentions, which made Hermione instinctively vigilant.

Pansy seemed very satisfied with Hermione's performance. She took her wand and approached her: "You know? Last night, Goyle died."

Shocked by the news, Hermione looked at Parkinson suspiciously.

"You don't have to doubt me, I didn't kill him, but I am familiar with his death method." Her voice was a little hoarse, but

Seeing her expression, Hermione felt that she had heard wrong.

"Not long ago, we found books with evil black magic spells on one side, we lied to others that it was an old book in the Middle East

I found it at the stall, but it's not.Think about it, how is that possible?How could it be so easy!We found it in an old castle in Australia

of.Gore did not know where he got the news, saying that there was an evil magic weapon in that old castle. He has always advocated black magic, especially

After the war he was even more zealous.He encouraged me to go find it with him, as a way to relax.I was rejected by Draco

Desperate and sullen, I did not refuse Goyle's proposal.But you can't imagine what we went through there, werewolves,

Vampires... we almost died there!I even wanted to kill Gore at the time, he was the one who brought me to that damn place!But

Finally... just when we were dying, we found a piece of wood and Goyle acted shocked when he saw the piece of wood, he

Said he had seen it in Malfoy Manor, the root tree of black magic.We cast the curse on the book with the help of that piece of wood and survived

down, and as luck would have it, we killed the werewolf and found a box of old books in his room, all related to witches.

Gore doesn't seem to have much interest in art and witch cups, but this is what I dream of, because I have heard about the magic of witch cups.

Strange, I think this may be a chance Merlin gave me, a chance to make Draco fall in love with me again.we brought all the books back

In the hotel, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep almost every night.That wimpy Goyle, when he really had the chance to get in touch with the top black magic

At this time, he was actually afraid.But I won't. In the next half month, I read the whole set of books carefully.back to england gower

Said that keeping those books around might bring bad luck, so I proposed to donate the books to the 'City That Never Sleeps', I have no objection, because the books

I have already remembered the most powerful magic in the book. "Pansy pointed Hermione's wand at Hermione's neck, and Hermione stepped back cautiously.

"But yesterday evening, Gore told me that someone was looking for him, and it seemed that he was the one who gave him the news to go to Australia. He felt very

No, that person seems to want to assassinate him.He asked me if I remembered the spell in the book.I tell the most powerful magic I know

Tell him to reassure him.But I didn't tell him, I forgot whether the spell was positive or negative.that spell they call

For the 'fire soul'.But the book that records the spells clearly stated, 'If you use it, you will get it wrong'. I realized this sentence only when I came back here.

In the end, this mantra can hurt oneself, and the other can hurt others.Now that Goyle is dead, it seems that the spell I gave him was used backwards

"What does this mean? Why did you kill me? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Hermione's body trembled slightly,

asked loudly.

"Don't expect anyone to hear! No one will find out, Hermione." Parkinson looked at her amusedly, "Since Goyle said there was a

"But I've already left him!" She was almost hoarse, and when she mentioned Draco, she suddenly felt that she was the same in front of Parkinson.

a loser.

"No, it's not enough."

"He chose you, didn't he? What happened in the manor that day is the best proof." Hermione's voice trembled.

But Pansy couldn't help laughing: "You know? The scene you saw when you went to the manor was faked by me. I didn't talk to Della

Coe to bed, I want you to quit, I want you not to meet Draco!He wasn't in the room at all, but why did he later

Will appear, I am also very strange. "Pansy's words touched the most sensitive string in Hermione's heart, and Draco cooperated with Pansy's disguise to deceive

Own?And the most likely reason Hermione could think of made her regret it.

Pansy didn't care about the emotional changes in Hermione's eyes at all, and continued: "I used a witchcraft to make Draco see in me what he saw in me.

The shadow of my lover gradually fell in love with me.But every time Draco sees you, this hard-built obsession fades away!I

There is no time to go on and on like this. Only by killing you will you never have the chance to appear in front of him. "Hermione looked

There was a light coming from the tip of Pansy's wand.

As the fire gradually extinguished and the dust gradually fell, people finally saw the situation in front of them clearly.

"Night City" is lying on the ground at this moment, scattered stones and charcoal are intertwined together. Several embers are still burning, and there are surviving

The survivors were continuously rescued.Some witnesses could not wait to describe to reporters what they had just seen in a noisy environment.

Those who suffered minor injuries were surrounded by crowds, tearfully explaining their experiences to people.

Not far from the ruins, Theodore and Zambini tried their best to hold Draco back: "Calm down! Draco, you won't find it even if you go."

Hermione, let's go to St. Mungo's, maybe she's there... no, no, she's not here at all, maybe she's doing magic

Ministry..." Zambini never felt that it was so difficult to find an excuse to comfort himself and comfort his friends.

eye sockets.Draco sat slumped on the dusty ground.Nott knelt down and patted Draco on the shoulder, he was already in tears

full face.

For the next month, newspapers were flooded with follow-up reports of the fire in the city that never sleeps.Recently, with the search

Step by step, things related to black magic were discovered one after another, Aurors participated in the investigation, and scapegoats continued to come forward to bear the burden of abusing black magic.

Magic is responsible, but there has been no effective explanation for the cause of the fire.

"Aside from looking for evidence from leftover books and utensils, what else will these bastards do?!" Zambini was worried by the follow-up investigation.

Bad head, he complained to Knott.

"It's more important to think about how to get rid of the 'City That Never Sleeps'." Nott helped Zambini solve the urgent need.

Draco checked the list of survivors in St. Mungo's every day, until the new news came out and everything was settled.

"Hermione Granger Killed" - that was the headline in the latest issue of the Daily Prophet.As described in the news, the scene of the accident

The cleanup has gone to the basement, where Hermione's wand was found, broken in two, the Aurors deduced,

Granger had already been killed in the accident.This news was like a bomb that blew up everyone's nerves.ron almost went crazy

Seemingly looking for Blaise everywhere, Blaise and Nott are looking for Draco everywhere.

"Draco, so you are here." Nott said pretending to be relaxed.They found Draco at the scene of the accident.

Zambini stepped forward and tapped Draco on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to take another look at her." Draco said far-fetchedly, but tears rolled down his cheeks silently.look at

With Draco like this, Zambini and Nott also had red eyes, and they looked forward silently.

When a curse strikes, Zambini pushes the two away in time to avoid the curse.

"What are you crazy about, Weasley!" When Theodore and Draco recovered, they found Ron pointing his wand at Zambini.

"Don't quibble, Zambini, don't lie to me that this ghost place has nothing to do with you?"

"Ron!" Harry and Ginny followed Ron, trying to persuade him.

"Even if it's about me, what did I do wrong?"

"You killed Hermione! You bastard killed Hermione!"

"..."

"Enough! Weasley. It's none of Zambini's business that you have a grudge against me."

"Don't rush to be a hero, Malfoy! Of course this has nothing to do with you!" Ron shouted at Draco with red eyes.Theodore

Silently holding the wand in his pocket.

"Don't think I don't know the relationship between you and Hermione, she told me, if it wasn't for you, how could she have come to this ghostly place

Fang, how could he be harmed by black magic!Of course you are responsible for her death..." Looking at Ron who slowly raised his wand, Draco quietly

Stand still.

"Draco!" Zambini yelled, telling Draco to dodge, but Draco didn't intend to move, Nott had already pulled out the magic weapon.

Staff, towards Weasley.

Just when Ron was about to cast a spell, Harry punched Ron to the ground: "Enough, Ron! Enough..." He couldn't

Tears were suppressed, "Hermione wouldn't want this to happen, he certainly doesn't want you to be brought to justice because of her."

"Harry?!"

"Let's go back, Ron, there's no point in being here...we don't have Hermione anymore, don't let us lose you again!" Ha

Leigh looked at Ginny, walked up to Ron, and held out his arm.

Ron hesitated, looked at Ginny, then at Harry, and finally grabbed Harry's arm and stood up with strength. Ginny on the side had already

Already sobbing, he stepped forward to support Ron.

Not long after the three of them walked, Ron stopped, turned his back to Draco and said, "Malfoy, you know how much I regret...

If I could start over, I would never be separated from Hermione from the very beginning, even if I knew she really liked you, I would not

separated from her! "

"There are so many what-ifs..." Zambini murmured as he watched the three people drifting away.

"……Let's go back."

Draco quietly glanced at the ruins behind him again, and then walked towards the direction of departure...

(Finish)
