Chapter 1999

Lupin and his colleagues were discussing who they should ask about the matter. No matter who they finally ask, they still believe that there is always a reason why Mrs. Maxim conceals it.

Yes, up to now, they will no longer easily doubt anyone who used to be trustworthy. After all, at present, disasters are rampant, and trust has become a very luxurious thing, which is worth cherishing by everyone.

But... Often behind white lies, there may be some cruel facts hidden. To be honest, there are a layer of uneasy ripples in everyone's heart at the moment.

Yes, even aberforth, who still seems to be careless, is the same - don't you see his hand wiping the goblet stop?

However, only Charlotte is still the same in peace.

"Sirius, would you like another drink?"

She took the bottle to the table and motioned to Sirius. But now everyone is troubled by Maxim's letter. Naturally, they are not in the mood to continue drinking.

"No, No."

Sirius shook his head at her and then discussed with lupin. Then he subconsciously returned to Charlotte and looked at the back of the long table.

Yes, at this time, the more calm people are, the more problems they have. In fact, everyone here has already noticed Charlotte's "problem" - she didn't just become like this tonight.

After all, Charlotte was hit hard by the collapse of the Witt family. Although she didn't like that family since she was a child, others don't say it for the time being. At least she has always loved her father deeply.

However, everything is gone. Whether they like it or hate it, almost all their families have become the victims of this great disaster.

At first, Sirius and lupin wanted to hide this from Charlotte, and Maka also felt that maybe they should do so... At least, there seemed to be no need to tell her the truth before the disaster ended.

However, the only two children left in the Witt family are among their group of asylum seekers and are taken care of by lupin - where can they go in this world? This is the only place in this community. Charlotte also lives here. She will find out sooner or later.

When she learned from her children that her father saved them with his own life, and even sent them out at the expense of becoming a living corpse... Seriously, even she didn't know how she could resist collapse.

But Charlotte has changed since then.

She, who used to love to laugh, had no smile on her face. She became quiet and indifferent, as if nothing could affect her heart anymore.

However, it may be because the two children, the two remaining family members, she did not completely depressed. Even if she just pretended to be calm and natural, as if nothing had happened, she didn't want her children to see her lost soul.

But this may be the limit Charlotte can do.

"Has anything bad happened at the front?"

When Sirius and lupin were hesitant about Maxim's letter, the idea only flashed through Charlotte's head, and then she instinctively ignored the past.

There are enough misfortunes in this world. She doesn't want to feel any more sadness. If she thought more, she was afraid that she would really be unable to hold on.

"Aberforth, I'll go back first - I have to get up early tomorrow and wash the clothes for the two children. They don't know where they've gone these days. It's a headache to roll all over the mud."

With such a casual remark, Charlotte put down the rag in her hand, shook her hand and walked to the back door. She now lives with her two children, near aberforth, closer by the back door.

"Huh?"

Aberforth had another meal on hand. After looking at her, he nodded.

"Well... Rest early."

To be honest, it's strange that albus, who has always been cold, would say so. However, Charlotte obviously didn't care much, which wasted his rare care.

Not long after, Charlotte walked step by step on the slate road outside the back door in the moonlight, and then "click" gently opened a door on the street not far away.

At this time, the two children naturally went to bed long ago. They had to put their hands and feet gently.

Charlotte didn't turn on the light. After closing the door, she slowly went up the stairs to the second floor, pushed open the door on her right and stood at the door. Seeing that both children were sleeping in the quilt, she returned to her room.

As we live here, we don't use magic spells as much as possible and do everything ourselves. For them who do not adapt to Muggle life, they are still very tired. In addition, Charlotte, who hasn't even been married, has to take care of the daily life of her two children. She can imagine how she has lived recently.

Unfortunately, even if she is physically and mentally tired, she still can't sleep well at night. As soon as she lay down, everything began to hover in her mind.

Maybe everyone who lives in this community has this situation, but I believe she is the most serious.

After lying for a long time and realizing that she might still be unable to sleep by herself tonight, Charlotte got up again, opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a bottle of magic medicine.

However, after pulling out the cork, she looked at the medicine and was stunned.

Yes, occasionally... Just occasionally, Charlotte will think of Marca. I haven't seen him for some time. I don't know how many powerful enemies he has defeated and how many innocent lives he has saved.

However, the disaster continues. Listening to the weekly secret letter, it seems that it is still getting worse and worse.

"Gudu."

Bad things can not think more, think more, will only let despair drown everything. Charlotte took a gulp of sleeping pills, then put the cork in the drawer and lay down on the bed.

The night is getting deeper and deeper. The insects outside the window come and go one after another, but it highlights its tranquility.

The effect of magic medicine is reliable... Under the action of sleeping agent, Charlotte gradually sank into her dream. Even if there were nightmares, the night passed again.

The next morning, when Charlotte was washing clothes at the door, she heard that Sirius left the community and went to busbarton to find the truth.

After listening, she just lowered her head and answered gently.

"Oh, is that so?"
