[Shen Xia + HP] In the name of a detective

Although the plan changed temporarily, Aurora, who couldn't talk with Aubrey, decided to return to London early, and Sherlock, who was a fast reader, almost completed his grand plan to read all the books in the entire study.The worst "spot" is the two books on the top of the shelf, namely "Harry Potter: The Boy Who Lived" and "The Legendary Life of Harry Potter".

The night before Sherlock left, he went to find Aubrey and offered to take these two books with him. He also wanted to bring some books on wandless magic for Aurora.He was keenly aware that when he said the names of the two books he hadn't finished reading, Aubrey's lips moved a few times, for some unknown reason, it seemed that he wanted to stop him, In the end, however, nothing was said.

Sherlock achieved his goal and didn't want to stay with Aubrey any longer. He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by this brother who was in a complicated mood and was really worried about Aurora. He explained a lot and gave a lot of instructions.

"What do you mean by saying this to me?"

Although Sherlock didn't know what happened between the two siblings, his keen observation ability still allowed him to notice the difference between Aubrey and Aurora. In his impression, the relationship between the two siblings was always close Uninterruptedly, at this moment, a dispute or even a cold war suddenly broke out, and it will definitely not be because of any trivial matter.

He stood upright in front of the desk, looked at the hard-to-disguise exhaustion on Aubrey's face, did not show any expression, and his tone was the same as in the conversation that refused Aurora's participation many days ago, sonorous and forceful, neither humble nor overbearing , without the meaning of flattery, but polite and gentle, not too rude.

Aubrey removed all the various documents about the adjustment of the Ministry of Magic that had piled up on the desk, resting his elbow near the edge of the table, his head was supported by his right hand, a little wobbly, as if he was the only one Focus on it, making people feel that if the right hand can't support the weight, the whole person will fall on the desk.

"When Lola ran away from home more than ten years ago, although I threw away the "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" that I gave her and took nothing with her, I had a hunch in my heart that no matter it was after Five years or ten years, we will eventually reconcile as before." Aubrey probably remembered that when he heard that Aurora ran away from home without warning more than ten years ago, he immediately returned from Hogwarts. When he got home, he found the scene of the story book in Aurora's bedroom, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"But this time is different. Unless Lola knows the final truth, she won't come back." His voice suddenly dropped, and the atmosphere became dignified, "I don't know if I want her to come back." Know the truth. If she didn't know, she probably would never return to this place. If she knew, she might just dig our family's ancestral grave."

Aubrey probably felt that his statement of "digging ancestral graves" was quite funny, at least to him, it was considered a joke, so he laughed a few times dryly, and continued after pondering for a long time: " Since she won't come back, I can only ask you to take care of her."

"I will." Hearing this, Sherlock nodded seriously, then suddenly remembered something, stretched out his right hand from his pocket, and pointed to the book "The Poet Peter" that was still placed in the most conspicuous place on the desk. Bean Story Collection", "By the way, I have seen all the annotations you made on that book."

"What about Lola?" Aubrey lowered his head, dragged the "Tales of Beedle the Poet" in front of him, slowly turned a page, and suddenly asked curiously.

"No. She's seen the book before, so she hasn't flipped through it at all." Sherlock glanced at the table and saw that the page of the storybook was titled "The Warlock's Hairy Heart".

At the beginning of this story, there is such a passage.

"Once upon a time, there was a handsome, rich, intelligent young wizard who found that his friends, once they fell in love and romped around, grew stupid and lost their taste and dignity. The young wizard He made up his mind that he would never be such a weak-willed victim, and used black magic to strengthen his immunity."

And the blank space at the edge of the page is filled with three words that repeat infinitely.

"come back."

Aubrey has always had two "Tales of Beedle the Bard" since he was a child, one for Aurora and one for himself.When he finally reconciled with his sister who ran away from home at the age of 11 and wandered alone in the Muggle world, Aubrey returned the book that originally belonged to Aurora, and he still kept a copy of the book. Book.

Every page above is filled with, "Come back."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sherlock looked at the two Harry Potter biographies in front of Aurora, and finally came back to his senses, and turned to look at Aurora, who had her eyes closed, frowning and sweating profusely. He took out a lychee-flavored lollipop from his pocket and threw it over.

Aurora is sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with her hands on her knees, her eyes tightly closed, sweating profusely, looking at her in such a posture that she looks like one of those in Chinese martial arts novels who died because of practicing kung fu. A madman.Perhaps she was also aware of this, and imitated the "listening to identify the position" commonly used by characters in martial arts novels, and without opening her eyes, she quickly raised her right hand, reached out and threw the stick The lychee-flavored lollipop that came over was caught between the index finger and middle finger.

"Is it lychee flavored?" Aurora saw the package of the lollipop, her face suddenly changed, she frowned, her expression was very complicated, a little bit surprised, and a little bit nostalgic, but more It's an emotion that even Sherlock doesn't quite understand.

"Practicing wandless magic is very exhausting. Excessive practice can easily lead to dizziness. Eating sugar can relieve it." Sherlock took out a lollipop of the same flavor from his bulging pocket, and without breaking the wrapping paper, He easily took the lollipop out of it, put it in his mouth, and explained lightly.

Aurora guessed that it must be Aubrey who told Sherlock, but she didn't really want to mention him at the moment, so she didn't say anything, just tore off the wrapping paper roughly and crumpled the plastic wrap into a Group, thrown into the trash can.

"This is what your brother told me, including the fact that you like to eat lychee-flavored lollipops." Sherlock saw that Aurora had practiced for a long time and did not let the two books in front of him float, probably wanting to lighten up As a result of her burden, she leaned forward slightly, stretched her right hand forward, and grabbed the "Harry Potter: The Boy Who Lived" placed on it, but her left hand was still in her pocket, clenched tightly. Pendant inside a necklace.

Sherlock clearly remembered that Aubrey, who was very similar to his elder brother Mycroft in terms of speech and mannerisms, had such a tired expression and a full tone of voice when he talked to him alone for the last time. Unprecedented sense of fatigue and powerlessness, completely different from Sherlock when he first met him.

He rambled on, "Lola has been practicing wandless magic for the past few days, but magic of this difficulty is too difficult for her, and it is impossible to learn it in a short time. The practice of this magic is very difficult. It consumes energy, and she is eager for success, so you need to add more sugar to her. Ask for lychee-flavored lollipops. I remember Lola’s favorite food when she was a child. Every time when she lost her temper, her father used This is to coax her. And since she went to La London, she likes to watch Muggle TV series very much, even if you don't like it, try to watch it with her as much as possible in the future..."

Finally, Aubrey took out a necklace with a heart-shaped ruby ​​pendant, handed it to Sherlock, and asked him to choose a suitable one to help Aurora wear it himself. She died.

Aurora naturally also recalled her childhood, those memories of Owen Hopps and lychee-flavored lollipops, and squeezed out a slightly bitter smile, her long eyelashes were thin and dense, covering them low, A faint shadow was cast on the lower eyelid, and the warm light outside was also broken into her eyes, making her look confusing.

"That was a long time ago." She said this, indicating that she had long disliked lollipops of this flavor, but she still held a thin paper stick and sent the unpacked lychee-flavored candies to to the lips.

Not long ago, when Aurora found out that she did not belong to the Hopes family, she had various complicated emotions, but she never had any doubts about Aubrey.In her subconscious mind, although he is not her own brother, he is an existence that the whole world betrays her, and he will stand behind her to betray the whole world.She has complete trust in Aubrey.

So even so, Aurora did not pursue the truth of the past, just thinking that she could grasp the warmth of the present, which was enough for her.If you insist on breaking the casserole and asking the end, it will embarrass Aubrey and make the relationship between the two siblings awkward.

But it's different now. In order to conceal what happened back then, Aubrey went so far as to be desperate, and people couldn't tell the truth from what he said.It's not that he didn't hide anything from her in the past, but every time Aurora noticed a clue, he would helplessly tell her the truth under her questioning.

But this time, no matter how Aurora asked, his answer always gave people a feeling of falsehood, truth and falsehood.She hurried back to London from Hopes Manor precisely because she didn't know whether she should trust Aubrey, let alone how she should face him.

And the shocking truth back then, Aurora thought it was not that important, it was just a misunderstanding or some petty grievance, but Aubrey insisted on refusing to say it, which made her Can't help but reconsider the seriousness of this matter.

How she should treat Aubrey in the future, and whether she will return to Hopes Manor in the future, Aurora doesn't know any of these.She just suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, she locked herself in the room in despair for several months, and finally chose to keep the "The Tales of Beedle the Poet", when Aubrey lived at school. Gone, never looked back.

Maybe just like last time, when we meet again, it may be more than ten years later.
