[Comprehensive British and American] The world is malicious

After parting with Avril Lavigne at Hogwarts, Nina entered the long tunnel leading directly to the Pig's Head Bar. She didn't know why Avril Lavigne found such a passage, perhaps through Rita Skeeter's book describing Potter Books, maybe through other channels.

After all, Rita Skeeter's words, people always have to keep half vigilance when listening.

Sometimes she is controlled by others and becomes a tool for some people to promote ideas, and sometimes she creates gimmicks to attract attention.

At the end of the tunnel was a painting. In order to make as little noise as possible, before walking out of the tunnel, Nina cast the Disillusionment Charm on herself, and after casting magic around her, she jumped out of the painting dexterously.

The portrait was next to the blazing fireplace. Nina glanced back at the portrait. Before leaving Hogwarts, she had heard from Avril Lavigne that at the end of the tunnel was a portrait of a young girl. She was most likely the eccentric old man in the Pig's Head Bar. younger sister.

Nina glanced at the girl's portrait twice, then quickly looked away, carefully stepped on the worn carpet, and walked to the wooden stairs. She saw the shabby and dirty bar counter of the Pig's Head Bar, which was scattered with sawdust.

Sitting behind the counter was a tall, thin old man with graying hair and beard, and wearing glasses with dirty lenses.

There are always all kinds of people coming and going here, sometimes they cover their faces tightly, and occasionally there will be men with their heads wrapped in dirty gray bandages, but today, the Pig's Head Bar is extremely lonely .

Nina guessed that nine out of ten had something to do with Voldemort's appearance. Even the moment she entered Hogwarts not long ago, she could feel the depression.

Nina tiptoed to the window on the second floor, which was a corner of Hogsmeade village. She had a deep memory of the Honeydukes Candy Store and Zok's Joke Store inside, which always provided all kinds of strange snacks and gadgets.

Now, the familiar scene has become unrecognizable, the dark storefront, the distant silhouette of the dark mountains outside the village, and the light from the window of the Three Broomsticks bar, everything is completely different from the Hogsmeade in memory.

Nina had to realize again that this was the most critical moment for Hogwarts and even the wizarding world, and she had to leave her beloved school from the Pig's Head Bar.

Her memory is a little unclear, and she can't remember the day when she suddenly became an orphan, and she is not sure whether she can see the family members in her memory when she passes by the house.

Nina withdrew her wild thoughts, pushed open the window, and used the form of an Animagus to swiftly land on the small street of Hogsmeade.

A scream pierced the night sky the moment Nina jumped out of the window, making Nina pimple all over.

Not far away, the door of the Three Broomsticks suddenly opened, and a dozen cloaked and hooded Death Eaters rushed into the street holding their wands high.

She triggered the Screeching Charm.

Nina reacted in an instant, and hurriedly dodged behind the wall on the other side. A few dazzling lights just passed by in front of her and landed on the place where the scream came from.

"What's the matter?" The old man, startled by the sound so close, walked out of the bar and shouted at a hooded face, "What's the matter? You live here casually, and you still want to close my bar?"

"Someone violated the curfew, and you heard the sound." A Death Eater who arrived said, "The sound came from here, and someone ran into the street in violation of the regulations from here."

"Fuck your curfew, if I want to let the cat out, of course I will."

……

Nina breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a few people arguing, and quickly left Hogsmeade along the street. She tried apparition midway, but it was useless. Displacement spell.

And those Death Eaters guarding Hogsmeade were most likely waiting for Potter, who was not at Hogwarts.

Potter wasn't even at Hogwarts.

Nina was startled by her own thoughts. After thinking about it, she felt that this was a very common thing. People from the Ministry of Magic dared to stop the Hogwarts train arbitrarily and take away a Muggle-born wizard from it. Staying on it is tantamount to throwing oneself into a trap.

Voldemort's power had eaten away at the Ministry of Magic.

Nina couldn't Apparate normally until she left Hogsmeade and entered a distant mountain.

It was a little dark around, there was no light, the curtains were tightly drawn, and there was no moonlight shining in.

Nina blinked and looked around. The furniture was neatly stacked and cleaned frequently, but no one lived there.

Nina felt helpless at the sudden thought of this place, as if it popped into her mind the moment she used Apparation.Nina walked to the window and opened the curtains. A large piece of moonlight streamed in from the window. She looked at the cafe opposite.

Well, Baker Street.

Nina shrugged, closed the curtains again, changed the black robe she was wearing, and took out the changed clothes from the schoolbag that had cast the Stretching Charm, before walking out of Baker Street and into the bustling downtown London.It was getting late, and there were many closed shops along the street, as well as late-night revelers, and a double-decker bus rumbled past Nina.

She needs to find a hotel as soon as possible, barely stay for one night, and then go home tomorrow morning.

Nina walked along the street, looking to the left and right. She still remembered the hotel where Sherlock and Sherlock solved the case. It was the case of trying to escape the rent by using the Black Death. But considering the owner's stingy character and the environment there, she decided to First look for a while along the street.

The night was getting darker, and there were people walking across the road singing together. One of them suddenly stopped, looked at Nina, and whistled.

"Hey baby, would you like to come over for a drink?"

Nina frowned and didn't plan to pay attention to it, after all, this wasn't the first time, nor would it be the last time.A red car happened to pass by and stopped beside Nina. It was a woman with brown hair, "Where are you going? I'll take you there." The woman poked her head out and said to Nina.

"I just think it's dangerous for you to walk on the road alone at this time." The woman smiled at Nina, and pointed at the men who were singing and whistling just now, "Come on, I still look like a bad person .” The woman said jokingly.

"Thank you for your kindness. I've arrived at my destination." Nina thought for a while, and planned to reject the other party's kindness. "This is the one," Nina said, pointing to a small coffee shop behind her.

"Okay, please pretend I didn't ask anything just now, bye." The woman shrugged, waved to Nina, and drove away.

After seeing the cafe, Nina also felt that she really needed to find a place to rest for a while, to temporarily think about what happened today.

It's a small, seedy cafe open day and night, with plastic veneer on the tables, and the cafe is empty except for one waitress who sits idly by.

Nina walked into the cafe and chose a seat by the window. Except for those who carnival day and night, there were few pedestrians on the road. She needed a quieter place.The waitress came over lazily, "What do you need?"

"A cappuccino, thank you."

"Do you mind if I sit here?" The brown-haired woman came over just now and asked with a smile, "I'm Maya Hansen, and I parked the car at the door...a glass of mocha." Hansen said to the waitress explain.

"Have we met before?" Nina's face was a little pale, and she was still thinking about the gang of Death Eaters. If the owner of the Pig's Head Bar hadn't had a dispute with them, she might be in big trouble.

In order to catch Potter, the Death Eaters will stop at nothing.

"I don't think so." Hansen took a sip of frothy coffee, frowned, and quickly put down the coffee cup, "I just think you look familiar, but maybe I was wrong, you are much younger .”

Hansen suddenly lost interest, because of the light, she misjudged Nina's age.

Nina glanced at the gray coffee and completely lost her appetite, but Hansen's words aroused her interest, and Nina blinked her dark eyes, "I think you are talking about Alisa Roberts." Nina asked tentatively.

Nina was delighted to see a hint of surprise in Hansen's beautiful eyes, and slowly tightened her hands holding the coffee cup, "You know her? You really look alike, I almost got confused just now." Hansen was happy say.

"I'm studying DNA biocoding. I sent an invitation to Alisa Roberts, hoping that she could attend the scientific conference in Bern next year, but she declined." Hansen said regretfully, "Are you sisters?"

"Distant relative." Nina suppressed the excitement in her heart, lowered her head deliberately, and set her eyes on the gray coffee to calm her mood. "Have you seen her? We don't see each other very often."

Hansen was silent for a minute, shook his head, and stirred the coffee cup in his hand twice with a coffee spoon, "I hope to see you, but I may have to rush back to the United States, which is very regrettable, and things in the United States are indeed very serious "Han Sen smiled helplessly at Nina, and gestured to Nina's unmoving coffee with his eyes.

He whispered, "It's hard to drink, isn't it."
