[HP] If youth has an ageless face

According to the information provided by Lockhart, Edwina visited Brasov without much hope—this small city is located in central Romania, very close to the famous Bran Castle—according to him, he and Constance It was here that Si met and parted.

She easily found the wizard hotel he mentioned.Edwin pulled around a group of wizards who were drinking, and walked towards the young man behind the bar: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this inn?"

"Not really. But..." The young man froze for a moment when he saw her, and then smiled brighter, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Give me a drink, anything you want." Edwin sat down in front of the bar, "What do you mean by 'not counting'?"

"This hotel belongs to my uncle, but he doesn't care about it. My cousin and I usually take care of it." The young man introduced enthusiastically, "My name is Mihai, are you also a tourist for the legend of vampires? ?”

"Not exactly." Edwina asked, "So, when did your uncle start running this hotel?"

"A few years ago, it originally belonged to one of my cousins, and my uncle inherited it because she had no heirs." Mihai put the wine on the bar and asked curiously, "Why do you ask this? ?”

Upon hearing of the death of his great-grandmother, Edwinra realized that the clue might have been counted.Constance disappeared 13 years ago, not to mention whether the name "Constance" still exists in her memory, the key is that she may have left Romania long ago, and even got married and started a family.If it is the former, Edwinla will undoubtedly continue to search.But if it's the latter, is she still necessary to disturb her life?

"I'm here to find someone." After a moment of hesitation, Edwina decided to try, "My sister disappeared here 13 years ago, and it was this hotel that she stayed in before she disappeared. I came to Romania on this trip. Came here specifically to find her."

The young man was dumbfounded, and at the same time, he had a sense of pride: "Since your sister disappeared in my hotel, I can't just stand by. What's her name?"

"Constance Davis, but I don't know if she used a fake name." As if afraid that she would hold on to her, Lockhart packed his bags and fled to Tibet before she was discharged from St. Mungo's hospital. She claimed to be on another long-distance trip and would not return in the short term, so Edwinla knew limited information, "There was a man with her at the time, surnamed Lockhart. If you have kept a passenger register, Can you check it out for me?"

"Thirteen years ago, it might have been difficult." Mikhail wiped his hands and tidied up the things on the bar. "I'll go find it. You wait here."

While Mihai was looking for something, Edwin pulled out a portrait from his small bag.After marrying Haydn, she asked the artist she knew to paint a portrait of Constance according to her description.I have to say that 13% of his paintings are similar, but after all, this is what she remembered [-] years ago, when Constance was young, and now she is in her early thirties, what will she look like?

"Ma'am," Mihai quickly returned with a thick notebook in his hand, "I found it. In the summer of 13 years ago, a Miss Davis and a Mr. Lockhart stayed in our hotel successively."

Edwin was overjoyed: "How long have they lived here? When did they check out?"

"Both lived for about two months, but Ms. Davis checked out four days earlier than Mr. Lockhart. She came back a few months later." Mihai turned several pages back in the register , "Look, she only stayed here for a week the second time."

In other words, Lockhart and Constance lived in the same room during this week.Of course Edwina was not a rigid person, and she also knew that as early as that wrong summer, the two of them had probably done everything they should and shouldn't do.But... at that time, Lockhart should have had a plan, right?So until the forgetting spell was cast, he pretended to be normal and continued to spend the night with Constance lovingly?

"Scumbag..."

"what?"

"It's nothing." Edwin shook his head, "Your cousin was running the hotel at that time, right?"

"Yes." Mikhail looked at her sympathetically, "I'm sorry, if you want to know more details, I'm afraid I can't do anything. She died more than two years ago due to old age and infirmity. Something special was mentioned."

Edwin pulled a sigh, and handed Constance's portrait to him: "I'm not familiar with this place. This is a portrait of my sister when she was young, can you help me post it around, and by the way, ask the people who often come in and out of the hotel Has anyone seen her?"

"That's no problem." Mihai agreed without hesitation, took the portrait and made several copies of it on the spot.

"Are there any rooms here? I want one," Edwinra said.Things are not going well as she expected, and she should stay in Romania for a while before getting further news.

"Have you ever seen the girl in the picture?"

"She should be 31 now."

"No, she is my sister."

"Yes, she is English."

"Eight years ago."

"She's been here for quite a while, and I'm thinking maybe some of you have seen her before?"

Failed.

Edwin pulls back to the hotel disappointed.In the past few days, she has been walking around trying to find news about Constance from the local population, but it is extremely difficult to find someone who disappeared 13 years ago, not to mention that she can't tell the specific information about Constance—— Like her itinerary, places she visits.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

"You're back." There was no one in the restaurant on the first floor, and it was not time for dinner yet. As soon as she came back, Mihai greeted her enthusiastically, "Do you want to try some traditional Romanian pork rolls? Freshly baked Yes, it's delicious."

"Then let's have a little bit, I'm not too hungry." Edwin sat down at the table she used to sit at.One cannot hang from the same tree, nor can her time be completely wasted here.More than a week has passed and she has made no progress.Does that mean she should try to look elsewhere?

"Do you have a plan for the next step?" Mihai brought the food over and sat down opposite her.

"I do not know."

"If there is no news for too long, will you leave here?"

"I think so." Edwin nodded, "But who knows where she went after checking out."

"Then how long will you stay here?"

"I don't know." She shook her head again, "Wait until I feel hopeless."

"My cousin will come to the store later, do you want to meet her then?" Mihai suggested, "She and my cousin-in-law often travel between Bucharest and Constanta, both of which are Romania. important cities, maybe they can help."

"If it's not troublesome, please call me when she comes." A glimmer of hope rose in Edwina's heart, "I won't let you guys help me for nothing."

"What kind of talk is this? It's right to help. What's more, you, a woman, came to Romania alone to find your sister who has been missing for many years. This is not an easy task in itself."

"One thing is one thing, I never let others do things for me for nothing." Edwin said half-jokingly, "You are so enthusiastic about me, it must be love at first sight, right?"

Mikhail's face was red, he scratched his head, he hesitated and didn't give a positive answer.

"Don't do it." Edwin pulls sternly to persuade, "The end of falling in love with me will be very miserable."

Mihai opened his mouth and wisely chose not to ask further questions.

In the evening, she met Mihai's cousin, who could not speak English. Under Mihai's translation, Edwina learned that Romania, like many other small European countries, did not use portkeys very popular in the past.Until five years ago, there was only one way to get in and out of Romania: use the international Floo network to reach Spain or Italy, then take the wizard train to Romania's capital, Bucharest.Of course, after the Portkey was approved by the Romanian Ministry of Magic, the number of people using the train has decreased, but it is still the main means of transportation in Romania.

"So, at the time my sister came, there was no other way to get in and out of Romania other than the train?"

Mihai's cousin nodded.

"Can you help me apply to the transportation department of the Romanian Ministry of Magic to check my sister's entry and exit records? Or other things that can help me understand her whereabouts." Edwina asked.She wanted to confirm one thing - how much Lockhart had made Constance forget.

At least the chances of finding her would be a little bigger if she remembered her name.

"Also, if I report my sister's disappearance to the Romanian Ministry of Magic, will they help me find her whereabouts?"

This time, Mihai shook his head directly: "Impossible. Our Ministry of Magic...well, it's different from yours." Under Edwin's puzzled eyes, he showed an embarrassed expression, "If If you don’t pay a few bucks to take care of it, they won’t talk to you.”

She got it.

"Then, I will pay you [-] Galleons as labor costs and money to establish relationships." She said, "Just tell me if my sister's name is on the exit record."
