Aurora also seemed to feel that her question was a bit silly. She held her face in her hands, shook her head, and finally got to the point: "Aubrey, I have a vague feeling that the scene in that nightmare seems familiar. It seems that I have not only seen it in dreams."

Hearing Aurora's words "It seems that I have seen it not only in dreams", Aubrey was startled, his pupils shrank suddenly, but he regained his calm within a few seconds, he knew that his sister suspected that he knew something What, you are deliberately testing him. Of course, you can't deny it at this time. Aubrey can only follow Aurora's meaning: "You mean, you think you have experienced this thing yourself?"

"Yes, I suspect that there is something wrong with my memory." Aurora was sure that Aubrey had learned the secret from Owen Hopps, and had been hiding it from herself for some ulterior reason. , but seeing his expression did not seem to be lying, he decided to take a further test, and at the same time closely stared at the expression on Aubrey's face.

"A mistake in memory? Do you mean amnesia?" Aubrey also felt Aurora's burning eyes, knowing that she was watching him at this time, and he didn't dare to show his true emotions. With a look of serious thought, he asked, "So if you really experienced this fire, when was it?"

Aurora looked at the most natural expression on Aubrey's face, and began to suspect that her previous guess might be wrong, but she also thought that Aubrey was originally working for the Ministry of Magic, although she had never seen him in officialdom That glib, long-sleeved, even sophisticated look, but he must have the ability to hide something when he's trying to hide it.

"Has there ever been a blank in your memory, or a time when you didn't know what you did?" Seeing that Aurora didn't answer, Aubrey asked again, as if he was seriously considering her guess. possibility, and racked their brains to come up with a method that can verify the authenticity of this guess.

"No." Aurora involuntarily followed Aubrey's train of thought, pondered for a moment, shook her head, and replied.

"Assuming your guess is correct, then when did this lost memory happen? Although I have also secretly investigated the years you were in the Muggle world, it is impossible for everything to be detailed. Wouldn't it be at this time?" Aubrey admitted without hesitation that his investigation of Aurora during those years not only let her relax her guard, but also made her intuitively feel again that his brother is real. He cared about her very much, his voice was deliberately lightened, with a seductive power that ordinary people could not resist, trying to make Aurora forget a reality that could not be ignored.

Since Aurora has had this nightmare since she was a child, if she really experienced this thing, it can only be when she was younger.

"Impossible. In all these years in the Muggle world, apart from you and myself, I have hardly come into contact with anyone or anything related to magic. And the few beams of light in that scene are obviously spells or something, although I can't tell what the spell is." Aurora has never seen a spell with such a dazzling green beam of light, so she naturally has no way to tell, her thinking seems to have been taken away by Aubrey, deviated from It turned out that I had always wanted to maintain the track.

Speaking of this, Aurora suddenly stood up from the sofa, turned around and looked directly at Aubrey, leaning her body on the coffee table in front of the sofa, she smiled slyly, half-closed her eyes and looked at the Brother, said: "Aubrey, do you think I will say that? Then you look down on me too much."

Aubrey saw that his seduction did not succeed, but instead caused Aurora to be more alert to him, but he did not panic at all, still calm and composed, his brain spinning rapidly, to find someone who was as unabashed and aboveboard as himself. Looking at the justification for deceiving his sister, he frowned, and said with a smile in his tone: "They all say that women in love have zero IQ. Now it seems that is not the case. Your quick thinking is still the same as before."

It was impossible for Aubrey not to have thought just now that the memory she might be missing must have appeared before she started having nightmares, and it was impossible for him to make such a simple mistake.In other words, her brother has been misleading Aurora step by step in the wrong direction even though he clearly understands everything.

"That is, don't look at whose sister I am." Of course Aurora would not believe it. Aubrey's misleading just now was just to test whether the IQ of the sister in love has a clear downward trend. On the contrary, he must be She was trying to hide something, and this just confirmed her initial guess, but she didn't intend to expose it face to face, but said it following Aubrey's meaning.

Aubrey watched Aurora raising her head and pretending to be complacent, knowing that she must have seen through the reason she made up now, and the two agreed.At this moment, he was ready to answer the questions she might ask next.

"Aubrey, do you know when I was adopted by...the family?" When Aurora asked this question, she didn't know how to address Owen Hopes and Su Liushuang. , calling them by their first names seems disrespectful to elders, using "Hopes family" as a pronoun is a bit unfamiliar, saying "the two of them" is too embarrassing, and calling "parents" is even more inappropriate. After hesitating for a moment, She still chose the term "home" which is neither too unfamiliar nor too intimate.

Aubrey was silent for a long time, and finally answered Aurora's question: "As long as I can remember, you have been a legitimate Miss Hopps, so you should have been at least before your first birthday. Adopted by them."

"So that familiar scene originated from my memory before I was one year old." Aurora nodded thoughtfully, her eyes flickering, and as the whole incident became clear little by little, her emotions also changed. There has to be some excitement.

"It's your untrustworthy intuition telling you that you have experienced that scene in the nightmare. As for whether this guess is correct, it remains to be seen." Aubrey looked at Aurora. The dust has settled and the truth is about to come. Unfolding, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you so hasty to draw conclusions?"

"If the truth is not the case, why do you deliberately mislead me?" Aurora leaned on the coffee table, taller than Aubrey who was sitting on the sofa, with a smile full of inexplicable emotions in the corner of her mouth, and finally It still pierced Aubrey's previous thoughts.

"It seems that following Sherlock Holmes, you have become a lot smarter." Aubrey joked inappropriately, which can be regarded as an admission of his previous behavior in disguise.

Aurora thought of Sherlock who had been spending time in the study every day since she came to Hopes Manor, vowing to read all the books, and she calmed down after being excited by gradually unraveling the mystery of her life experience. , she lowered her head, raised her head after a long silence, stared at Aubrey for a moment, and asked, "Why did the family adopt me? What is the relationship between them and my biological parents?"

Before Aubrey could answer, Aurora made another gesture to stop him, her breathing was a little short, and she said, "Don't tell me you don't know, he told you before he left, I know."

Seeing that Aurora finally asked the most critical question, Aubrey pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that you don't care about what happened in the previous generation?"

"I've changed my mind," Aurora replied.

"Under such circumstances, shouldn't the most reasonable explanation be that after a couple passed away, they adopted their only daughter as friends?" Aubrey asked, looking up into Aurora's eyes road.

"Did you forget that they sealed up my magic power. What kind of friend would treat the daughter of a dead friend like this?" Aurora once mentioned that Owen Hopps and Su Liushuang disguised her as a Squib, and she couldn't help thinking. It was not very comfortable, and coupled with the tit-for-tat conversation with Aubrey at this time, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and even sneered at him, "You also said that my IQ was zero after falling in love, I see it is obviously yours today IQ is not online. It is impossible for you and me not to think of such an obvious thing. If it was in the past, you would not say such meaningless things."

"The two families are feuds, but your mother and my mother are old friends, that's all." Aubrey finally gave a reasonable explanation in a few sentences, holding the family cane tightly in his hand, his eyelashes lowered. It was covered so that people couldn't see what he was thinking at the moment.

"What if I don't believe it?" Aurora asked, raising her eyebrows.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Aubrey raised his hand again and pinched his Jingming acupoint, without any effort to conceal his exhaustion, and for the first time his voice showed a sense of powerlessness, "What's more, Don’t you value evidence now? If you say I’m lying to you, where’s the evidence?”

Aubrey was right. Over the years, he had concealed and misled her quietly, but he had never lied to her.

"I'll go back to London tomorrow." Aurora didn't know whether she should believe it or how to answer it. She was silent for a while and said.

Aubrey didn't answer, just nodded, and then casually ordered a few words to practice wandless magic and related essentials when going back, then he untied the "close earplugs" and dragged his feet upstairs .

He closed his eyes when he reached the bottom of the stairs, he who had never fooled Aurora had cheated her after all.

How could Aubrey not know what Aurora had once described to him, that bright green beam of light passing through the fire in that nightmare.

That's Avada Kedavra.

The author has something to say:

As for the truth of the year, I will stop now and return to the original plot line. The clues given now will probably be buried until the end.

When I updated the article yesterday, I saw that one article was under online review. When I updated the article today, this article is still under online review. I am a little confused.
