Chapter 213 Giving up
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the valley, and the morning mist is gradually dissipating.
On the bed, Snape slowly opened his eyes, as if he had woken up a long time ago and had just kept his eyes closed.
He looked out the window and saw his face vaguely reflected in the window.
-
The glass of the Quidditch boutique is polished to a brilliant shine. During the day, you won't be affected by the reflections from the street outside and can clearly see the details on display inside, such as the recently launched Nimbus 2003.
"Reina, don't you have anything to buy?"
In Diagon Alley, the Malfoy family was strolling leisurely, along with Hermalena.
"If you really want to buy the Quidditch Cup, you should have enough money, right, Draco?"
Reina accompanied Draco around the Quidditch boutique for several rounds and stopped in front of the commemorative cup countless times.
"No, I was thinking that if I gave everyone this commemorative cup this Christmas..."
"Then let's go quickly."
Reina decisively pulled the imaginary Draco away, and just as she was about to go out, she met Narcissa who came here to look for them.
Narcissa suggested taking them to Hogsmeade after lunch and then directly back to Hogwarts from there.
"Where's Dad?"
Draco heard that Lucius who came with them was not mentioned, so he asked casually. The answer he got was that he was still shopping, so he didn't take it to heart.
"Oh! I also remembered that I still have a small gift for Pansy. Aunt Narcissa, you and Draco go first. You don't have to wait for me."
Reina suddenly clapped her hands and hurriedly gave instructions to rush in the opposite direction, as if she couldn't wait any longer.
Before Narcissa could react, the person had already turned a corner and disappeared.
Narcissa looked at the street corner and muttered quietly, "It won't take much time to buy it after dinner..."
Forget it, let her be.
Narcissa led Draco towards the pub, but on the way they passed by the Extraordinary Clothing Store and were attracted by the new wizard robes. She turned around and went to pick out clothes for the family.
the other side.
After turning a corner, Lena hid in a small alley on the side, ignoring the crazy dark wizard on the road, and entered Knockturn Alley.
"jingle--"
The welcoming bell at the door rang.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome not to bring a wizard hat. What a bunch of nonsense..."
Reina took one last glance at the dark wizard who had been following her all the way, with an expression of extreme contempt on her face.
"Hermalena?"
The voice seemed familiar, and Reina quickly turned her head to look inside the store.
"Lucius! Why are you here?"
"Maybe you should answer me first."
This is the ghost lady's shop, which sells some strange things, and the person standing in front of the counter is Lucius, who they had just separated from.
The ghost woman packed up what Lucius wanted and handed it to him, then took the gold galleons from the table and smiled.
"Oh, it seems you two know each other. Would you like to catch up here? But I don't have any good tea to offer you."
Lucius glanced at the hunched witch behind the counter, then looked at Reina. Judging from the complaining tone Reina had used when she first entered, it seemed that the two of them had a good relationship.
only……
Lucius looked at the vague black shadow outside the glass, his eyes revealing coldness.
Meanwhile, Reina's attention was focused on the parchment handed to Lucius.
The ghost grandmother is not good at running a shop. This small house is purely for killing time. There are nothing powerful things placed in it. Most of them are just for show.
Most people who come to her shop are looking for her.
And it wasn't like Lucius would suddenly fall for the junk in her shop.
"But if you're not here to reminisce about the past, I still have to abide by a rule: I only receive one person at a time, no matter who they are."
The ghost lady knocked on the counter to remind the two of them.
"We came here together." Lucius turned his head to look at her, not very satisfied with what she said.
"Only one, whoever it is."
The ghost woman's mouth corners were slightly curved, but there was no trace of a smile on her wrinkled face. Especially her eyes, which were irresistible and seemed particularly indifferent after being washed away by time.
The two completely different men exchanged a glance of unwillingness to give in, but Lucius did not come here to cause trouble. He straightened his collar and cloak, snorted coldly, and left.
The doorbell rang again. Lucius put the parchment into his pocket, but his sharp eyes caught a faint dark shadow at the entrance of the alley not far away.
A gust of wind blew under his cloak, and Lucius walked leisurely to the other side.
There was a muffled sound in the alley, followed by a continuous groan of pain. No one passing by there in twos or threes would pay attention. After all, this was Knockturn Alley.
In the store.
"Why are you here so suddenly? As far as I remember, it's not the holiday yet."
The ghost granny was tidying up, and the items on the counter flew into separate boxes one by one, packing them herself.
"He ran away secretly. Why did Malfoy come to your place?"
Reina sat down on the only chair in the store, picked up a strange book, and flipped through it aimlessly.
"Of course, I buy things."
"What did he buy from you?"
The ghost grandma glanced at her and sighed. She really didn't know why, but ever since the child started going to school, she had a feeling that she was often controlled by the child.
Although she is the benefactor's child, their interactions were not that deep, whether when El Vicente was alive or after the accident.
She thought that her relationship with Tarros would end there, and at most, she would only have to deal with those ignorant guys who coveted Elvisent's inheritance.
As a result, he unknowingly and steadily stood behind the child.
Well, of course she volunteered, just for Al.
"Just an ordinary teleportation array."
Reina had an expression that said, "Do you think I believe it?" Why would Lucius bother to find you for an ordinary magic circle?
But it’s not that Lena looks down on people. It’s mainly because the ghost lady is really different from ordinary people. You can see the perfunctory attitude in her.
Well, she didn't really need to know, and it probably wouldn't have any impact on Voldemort.
She asked about the purpose of her visit - the guardian beast.
The ghost woman was obviously a little shocked, and all the things flying in the air stopped.
After learning that nothing special had happened to Reina recently, she also fell into deep thought.
"When was the last time you used it?"
This……
At least not in this reincarnation. Lena was not sure when that was, so she could only shake her head.
The ghost woman knew that this was a person even more mysterious than herself, so she understood and did not dwell on the details. She told Lena everything she knew.
Unfortunately, she knew little more than Lucius did.
At least she summoned her guardian beast, a lizard or salamander or something like that, anyway, a small reptile with limbs and a tail.
Lena didn't find the ideal answer, and she felt inexplicably frustrated when she thought about taking Draco out of Hogwarts.
Now that she has returned to school, she can no longer devote much energy to this matter and can only give up.
It’s gone...so it’s gone.
