[HP] Leader's Exclusive Rose

Not surprisingly, both Cedric and Rosalind joined the Order of the Phoenix and became official members.Sirius tried hard to reflect on himself after the incident of the Department of Mysteries, followed Dumbledore's advice and Rosalind's advice, and tried his best not to have a bad attitude towards Kreacher. He even acquiesced in Hermione. The act of refurbishing its den—even if Kreacher doesn't appreciate it.

Stepping into July, the transcripts of the NEWTs exams were sent to the graduates one after another, and Cedric also received an interview letter from the Ministry of Magic—he finally decided to go to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, because Rosalind didn't really want it. He was an Auror, and it seemed to her that he was safe and sound.

However, this relatively "calm" institution also has its advantages: Cedric has already planned for the future when Rosalind really becomes a professor at Hogwarts, he can pick her up on time every day and go back home with her. Home.

The Death Eaters who had been captured in the Department of Mysteries were once again rescued by Voldemort, even though many had expected that they would not be in Azkaban for long.

The activities of Death Eaters became more and more rampant, and they even attacked Muggles.Fudge's ministerial position was also removed, and the current Minister is Rufus Scrimgeour.But there were rumors that he was at odds with Albus Dumbledore, head wizard of the Wizengamot, who had just been reinstated.

At the same time, the new minister's firm stance on keeping students safe has undoubtedly calmed the anxiety of most parents.He even sent a small team of Aurors to protect Hogwarts.

After Cedric passed the interview, he was directly admitted to the International Magic Law Office - despite his all-O report card, his decent conversation and handsome appearance also made him quickly win the love of many colleagues, even though he himself Notice that more than half of these colleagues are women:

On the first day of employment, he received several business cards that were handed to him shyly or bluntly.

Now Rosalind can't stay with him every day—but she is busy herself, and Nora and Yucheng Shen both expressed their support for her as a teaching assistant at Hogwarts, because the Ministry of Magic is not currently Not much safer than Hogwarts, Voldemort's power continued to grow, and Death Eater attacks occurred almost every day.

She is now more like the owner of Bokin-Bock store: the life of "three points and one line" also makes her very fulfilled. In addition to going to No. 12 Grimmauld Place to help Sirius and others deliver some news, she always Will appear in the slightly uncomfortable dark magic item shop in Knockturn Alley.Nora had passed on the identity of the owner to her a long time ago, and Mr. Bojin had also told her more about the store's operating rules and business sources, which made her have to be more careful.Cedric and Yucheng Shen didn't really want her to go so often: Diagon Alley is no longer safe, let alone Knockturn Alley where there are many dark wizards?

But even if overwhelmed by all kinds of things, there is still good things to look forward to: Fleur and Bill are getting married, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sent them invitations.

Diagon Alley has completely changed: the windows of different shops that used to display colorful merchandise are now gone, completely obscured by the large notices posted by the Minister of Magic.Only the windows of Fred and George's Weasley's Wizard Wheezes caught the eye like a pyrotechnic display.

In the words of Harry once said to them, it is - "People need laughter now more than ever".

On this day, Rosalind was helping Bokin check the books when the bone bell hanging at the door suddenly jingled.

Draco walked in with an expression of surprise—the girl didn't hesitate, and immediately dodged into a cabinet filled with jars of unknown poison, watching him silently through the gap between the bottles.

Bojin put down a skull in his hand, with a smile on his face: "Welcome, Mr. Malfoy."

Draco's purpose was obvious, he walked towards the disappearing cabinet almost without hesitation: "Do you know how to fix it? I mean that one."

"Possibly," said Borgin, in a tone that seemed reluctant to make a statement, "but I need to see it first. Why don't you bring it to the store?"

"I can't," Draco said quickly, "it has to stay where it is. You just have to tell me how to fix it."

Rosalind saw Borgin licking his lips nervously: "Oh, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid it's hard to say, maybe there's nothing I can do about it. I can't guarantee anything."

"Can't?" Draco couldn't help sneering, he showed his arm, "Maybe it will give you more confidence."

Rosalind almost screamed in a split second——Dark Mark? !Voldemort branded on this 16-year-old child the mark of evil that only Death Eaters have? !

Bo Jin's expression also became very frightened in an instant, but he couldn't say a word with his lips pursed.

"Dare to tell others," Draco was stunned when he saw his reaction, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "You can't eat it. You know Fenrir Greyback? He He is a friend of our family, and he will come over from time to time to see if you are concentrating on solving this problem."

There was a hint of ferocity and disgust in Bojin's eyes, but it was covered by his hanging hair: "There is no need to—"

"That's up to me," Draco said impatiently. "Okay, I have to go. Don't forget to keep that thing safe for me, I'll need it."

Bo Jin lowered his eyes: "Don't you want to take it now?"

There was a tired look in Draco's blue-gray eyes that didn't fit his usual image: "No, of course not, you stupid dwarf, what do I look like walking down the street with it? Just don't sell it. "

"Of course not... sir." Borgin bowed deeply, as if he was facing Lucius Malfoy.

"Don't tell anyone, Bojin, including my mother, understand?" Draco turned around and threatened fiercely before leaving.

"Of course, of course," Borgin murmured back, bowing again.

Rosalind was about to go out when the bell rang again: "Hello, the weather is terrible, isn't it?" Hermione said happily to Borgin, who glanced at her suspiciously and didn't answer. .

The little brunette witch was humming happily, wandering among the messy products displayed in the store.

"Is this necklace for sale?" she asked, stopping in front of a glass case.

"If you pay [-] Galleons, sell it." Bo Jin said coldly.

"Oh... um... no, I don't have that much money." Hermione said, continuing to walk forward, "So... where's this cute... um... skeleton?" Rosalind went inside again. Turned sideways.

Bo Jin's tone became completely cold: "Sixteen Galleons."

"So it's for sale? No, it's not reserved for someone?" Hermione's words had already revealed her purpose for coming here.

Borgin squinted at her, knowing exactly what the girl was up to.It seemed that Hermione also realized that she had been found out, and she suddenly went all out: "The thing is-well-the boy who came in just now, Draco Malfoy, he is a friend of mine, and I want to give A birthday present for him, but if he's already pre-ordered something, I certainly don't want to buy him the same one, so...well..."

Rosalind thought for a moment that her head might be covered with achnatherum—this story was so poorly made, who would want to buy a present in a dark magic shop?

Borgin obviously thought so too: "Get out." He shouted sharply: "Get out!"

When there were only the two of them left in the store, Rosalind stood in front of Bokin again.

"Miss." For some unknown reason, Bokin didn't like to be called by her last name, but Rosalind didn't care much about it.

"What did Draco make an appointment with you here? Why did he want you to tell him how to fix the disappearing cabinet? And what is the name of the one he said, Fenr? Who is that?" The girl's dark brown eyes crawled. Sad, she really would rather she was dazzled just now.

Borgin didn't want to reveal too much: "It's not your business to worry about—"

"Tell me!" The girl's voice trembled a little, "Mr. Bojin, I beg you to tell me... what happened?"

There was another silence before he spoke: "Fenrir Greyback is the leader of the werewolves, and he is now a Death Eater; the Malfoy family are all Death Eaters—including the arrogant boy just now," Borgin's greasy hair was still drooping on both sides of his cheeks, "He wants to fix the disappearing cabinet, I guess it's... an order from the Dark Lord..."

"...And then?" Rosalind closed her eyes, feeling as if she had been completely petrified: "What did he ask you to keep for him?"

"That cursed opal necklace—" Borgin looked up in the direction of the window, "that's what the shaggy-haired brat asked just now, the opal necklace that killed nineteen Muggles."

"When did he come to you to make an appointment?" The girl's voice was hollow and weak, as if she saw a soul forced into the abyss: "Do I have to sell it to him?"

"My dear lady—" Borgin stared at the girl with his filthy eyes without blinking, "The reason why you can appear here frequently without any injuries is because the blood of the Bock family flows through your body."

Borgin didn't finish his sentence, but the girl already understood what he meant—although he was adopted by the old Mr. Bock, being loyal to the Bock family doesn't mean he would be willing to risk his life to disobey the Dark Lord purpose. "

"Even if I order you as the owner of the Bork family?" Rosalind looked back at him intently: "The owner of this shop is now me."

"Miss, I think you know the truth that is easier said than done," Bojin's tone was tinged with helplessness, "I am the one who takes care of the shop here every day. In my eyes, this store is completely owned by me.”

Rosalind turned around and took a deep breath: "I didn't think carefully, sorry, Mr. Bokin."

"You don't have to apologize to me, the head of the house deserves respect and loyalty—" Borgin also returned to the counter and looked through the ledger she had just sorted out, "In any case, I am a servant of the Bock family. If the Dark Lord wants If I hurt you and your mother, I will definitely choose to sacrifice... But the Malfoy family has nothing to do with me, please forgive me."

"The next time he comes to pick up the goods," the girl tried her best to speak completely, "if I'm not here, you must contact me as quickly as possible...I want to sell it to him myself." Rosalind said dejectedly Looking at the luxurious but deadly necklace, his tone was full of doubts, "Just use the family emblem to contact me, and I will carry it with me during this time."

Back at Shen's house in the evening, Nora watched her daughter with a heavy face come to her room after dinner - at that time Rosalind was stroking the bronze badge in her hand.

Almost choking up and talking to Nora about what she saw and heard today, she felt like her head was about to explode: that young man with pale blond hair couldn't shake off the shackles brought to him by his family after all.Nora took her in her arms, patting her on the back silently to reassure her daughter—why wasn't she?It's just that her brother traded his life for her freedom and light.

Rosalind only told Cedric and her parents about this, and she didn't want other members of the Order of the Phoenix to take any "radical" measures because of this news, just like she still didn't believe that this was Draco's intention.

It is clearly the scorching hot midsummer, but it only makes people feel as cold as winter.
