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

Looking up is the accumulation of dark clouds, and the sky cannot be seen at a glance.After a few days of uncertainty in London, it is finally raining.

And Aurora Hilton was walking in such a rainy curtain.

The truth of more than 20 years ago is like an invisible mountain, pressing on Aurora's heart.Her complicated mood now cannot be described in simple words.And this heavy rain, instead of extinguishing the anger in her heart, fueled her impulsiveness and washed away her reason.

She didn't know where she should go in the future, and she didn't know whether her previous actions were correct.But there is one thing, she is very clear in her heart.

That is, she was going to Aubrey.

When Aurora appeared outside the gate of Hopes Manor, dusk had already fallen.Even though the door was open, she waved her magic wand and blew the stone door to pieces with "split".

She walked through the front yard step by step in the rain. .The Martin shoes on the feet stepped on the stagnant water, making a "slapping" sound.As soon as she climbed the steps under the eaves, Aurora ran into house elves who suddenly appeared.

They seemed to have heard the loud sound of the door exploding, and came to check it out.The one walking in the front was Xianchen. When it saw Aurora, its amber eyes were as big as copper bells: "Miss..."

Before it finished speaking, Aurora interrupted it and asked with a sneer, "You call me Miss? Is it Miss Hopes or Miss Hilton?"

Xianchen's eyes widened, it trembled, and said in a trembling voice, "It's Hope..."

"Cruciatus!" The image of Xianchen belittling or even treating her as a child flashed in Aurora's mind, and she was merciless in her attacks.

Immediately, Xianchen fell to the ground, struggling and rolling on the ground in pain, but he didn't dare to cry out, and a "cuckoo" sound came out of his throat.

The expressions of the other house elves looked like they had eaten something bad. Some couldn't believe what was happening before them, while others protested against Aurora's behavior: "Miss, this is an Unforgivable Curse."

"I live in the Muggle world, and the wizard's law can't punish me, not to mention that your previous master's hands were not clean." Aurora's expression was calm, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the "Unforgivable Curse". What, or don't care about it at all, "Can any of you tell me whether I am Miss Hopes or Miss Hilton."

"Yes, it's Miss Hilton." A house-elf shrank and said.

At this moment, the door of the entrance was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and Aubrey stood there leisurely, as if he had been waiting for Aurora for a long time.His eyes were tightly locked on Aurora, and his eyes were getting darker, but his tone was calm: "Lola, stop making trouble."

Hearing such a sentence, Aurora, who was originally full of resentment, was at a loss for words.She froze for a moment, raised her hand to lift the Cruciatus Curse on Xianchen, and the sneer from before returned to her face.

"For you, it's not just as simple as the Cruciatus Curse."

"It's not just the Cruciatus Curse..." Aubrey took a few steps back to make it easier for Aurora to enter the door. "Could it be that you will use the Killing Curse on me?"

As soon as Aurora heard the words "Death Curse", her eyes turned red immediately, she rushed up and put the tip of her wand on Aubrey's heart, and shouted, "You think I dare not?"

"Of course you dare, there is nothing my dear sister dare not do." No matter how angry and agitated Aurora was, Aubrey remained the same as usual.

Aurora snorted coldly: "What qualifications do you have to be my brother?"

"I have a clear conscience, why am I not qualified to be your brother?" Aubrey asked back.

Aurora paused for a moment. Although she didn't have much confidence, she still asked: "You, why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm hiding something, just because I'm afraid you will have such a reaction." Aubrey stood in front of him holding the scepter of the Hopps family with both hands, "I don't think I did anything wrong."

"Father's debt is repaid by son, it's only right and proper." Aurora was already a little irrational.

"Not to mention what father has done to you and your family, I just ask you, have I ever treated you badly since I was a child?" Aubrey looked directly into Aurora's eyes without moving for a moment.

Aurora opened her mouth, but said nothing.

The answer is, no.

When she was a child, Aurora was not welcomed by her adoptive parents, and sometimes she even endured the eyes of the house elves. In this family, only Aubrey was really good to her.It was Aubrey who lay beside her and told her stories when she was haunted by nightmares at night.It was Aubrey who comforted her over and over again when the owl she had been waiting to deliver the letter did not arrive.When she was wandering alone in the Muggle world, it was Aubrey who gave up staying in school to enter the Ministry of Magic, and got the permission of Owen Hopps to start looking for her.When her life was hanging by a thread, it was the ruby ​​necklace given by Aubrey that saved her life.It was Aubrey who patiently taught her magic bit by bit while she was dreaming of a wizard dream.

Ever since he was a child, has Aubrey ever treated her badly?

Aubrey's words were like a needle that pierced Aurora, the balloon that was full of air and was about to burst.The impulse faded little by little, and the rationality returned little by little. At this moment, Aurora seemed to be a deflated ball, and could no longer speak viciously as before.Her blinking eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she looked a little blurred.She also looked up at Aubrey, choked up and asked, "Then tell me, who should I go to for this debt? Who should I go to for revenge?"

"You want revenge?" Aubrey didn't seem to see the ups and downs of Aurora's mood, and his tone remained calm, as if everything that happened now had nothing to do with him, "Then kill me."

Aurora stared at Aubrey, as if what he had just blurted out was the unsolved mystery of the century.She paused for a moment before confirming that she had heard correctly, what Aubrey had just said in an irrelevant tone was indeed to ask her to kill him.

In order to convince her of this, Aubrey threw down the scepter of the Hopps family in his hand, as well as the magic wand hidden in the scepter, and put on a look of resignation, generosity, and slaughter.He dropped his wand again in front of Aurora, but the last time was to comfort her who was troubled by the nightmare, and this time, it was to show that he would not resist her death curse.

"Aubrey Hopps, take your wand and duel me like a Gryffindor." Aurora never called Aubrey by his full name, and never imagined that one day she would Offer to fight him to the death.

In a life-and-death duel between wizards, either you die or I live.This was the best solution Aurora could think of.

She was unwilling to ask her to let go of her past grudges; she couldn't bear to kill Aubrey just like that.

A duel with Aubrey is the best way.No matter whether the result is a loss or a win, she admits it.

"The rules of the duel, once there are casualties, the assistant will make up for it. Lola, where is your assistant?" Aubrey asked, and then mentioned the ridicule everyone made about him when he was in school, "not to mention that I was sorted into the wrong hospital." Slytherin, what Slytherin needs is not courage, but strategy."

"Strategies..." Aurora's eyes changed, and her already relaxed facial expression became tense again, "If my memory is correct, you are very good at wandless magic."

As she said that, she didn't care whether Aubrey would use a flying spell to pick up the scepter on the ground, she just stared at him intently, put on a duel posture, and concentrated on preparing for the fight.

"You can try it and see if I can use wandless magic to deal with you." Aubrey's frank expression made Aurora start to wonder if she was worrying too much.

Aurora took another small step forward, stepping on the scepter that represented the glory of the entire Hopps family.But other than that, she never did anything else.

"You can try it." Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Aubrey repeated what he had just said.

"Don't think I'm afraid." Aurora realized that she couldn't make a move at all, and was a little frustrated.

"You said that just now." Aubrey's tone suddenly became gentle, as if he was persuading or comforting, "Lola, do you want to see what my patron saint is? "

After hearing such a thoughtless remark, Aurora didn't understand why he would mention this suddenly, without saying that she thought about it or that she didn't want to.

Aubrey didn't wait for her to answer, first Wuju picked up the scepter on the ground with a flying spell, then pulled out the wand from it, and said in a low voice, "Call God to protect you."

A silver-white owl flew out from the tip of his wand, screamed loudly, circled in the air with its wings, and then landed on Aubrey's left shoulder.It was an all-too-common long-eared owl, and its translucent form made it look like a ghost in the fog.But Aurora knew that it was not a ghost, but Aubrey's Patronus.

Scenes flashed before Aurora's eyes. There were Aubrey tucking her quilt, Aubrey was holding her hand and strolling around Hogsmeade, and Aubrey was patiently combing her hair. , there was also Aubrey who shed tears when she saw her covered in blood in Hopes Manor, there was Aubrey who personally put on the ruby ​​necklace of the Hopes family for her, and there was Aubrey who faced The Boggart, which was his alone, did not say a word.She couldn't control herself anymore, so she sat on the ground with her knees hugged, tears streaming down her face.

"Lola, don't cry, I'll give you candy."

Aubrey stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her head, while in his other hand, he held a lychee-flavored lollipop.

The author has something to say:

We didn't keep you waiting this time!It's been so long, I don't know if anyone still remembers the stem of this lychee-flavored lollipop?
