608 Queen Street, Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
Lynn stood in front of a very dilapidated two-story building and reconfirmed the address to prevent him from finding the wrong place.
This location is in the most remote corner of this street.
The house has obviously been unoccupied for a long time. The iron fence around the yard is covered with rust, the front yard is overgrown with weeds, the chain on the swing side of the yard is also broken, and half of the iron plate is buried in the grass. In, it looks desolate like a ghost house.
Lynn didn't come here alone, he was still carrying Kira by his side.
Before I learned to Apparate, the house elves were undoubtedly the best tool man. Although Kira had never been here before, it could take Lynn to a closer city first and take a train or bus. This greatly saves time.
And there is another purpose to bring Kira over—to use magic instead of him.
Lynn hasn't forgotten that before leaving school, he signed his name on a Ministry of Magic's "Prohibition of Underage Wizards from Using Magic Outside Hogwarts" undertaking.
According to the explanation given to them by Snape when signing, this letter of undertaking is a magic contract, and when they sign on it, it means that they have agreed to the contract. The traces used to detect magic will naturally be generated on the little wizard.
If you violate the contract, you can refer to Harry Potter who was taken to the trial court in the original book.
Lynn also used magic when he was in Abros before, but it was because of an emergency, and there was more than one wizard beside him. Traces couldn’t find out exactly who released the magic, so it’s okay to use it. .
But when he was alone, he didn't dare to test the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement ability so much.
It is undoubtedly the safest to use magic instead of Kira.
Even if the Ministry of Magic is confused and mistakenly believes that the magic was released by him, Kira will not run away like Dobby, it will testify to Lynn.
With a neat unlocking spell, Kira helped Lynn open the courtyard door.
The magic of house elves is actually very interesting. They are born to be able to use magic without a wand, but the power and effect will be a little bit worse, but because they are different from the magic of wizards, many restrictions are invalid for them. .
such as Hogwarts’ forbidden phantom shift magic.
The rusty shaft made a long "creak" sound.
Lynn walked through the weeds in the front yard, Kira helped him open the door of the living room again, and then consciously found a corner to enclose himself.
Professor Fox estimates that he did not come back here after he was released from Azkaban two years ago.
The furniture in the living room was covered with dust, and Lynn didn't care about the other messy things. An object on the cabinet in the living room attracted him immediately.
That is a black and white magical photo. A little girl is happily swinging on a swing. Behind her stands a pair of parents with gentle smiles on their faces.
Their family looks very happy.
Lynn gently swept the dust off the photo, looked at it silently for a long time, and finally put it in his pocket.
did not waste time in other rooms, he went straight to the study on the second floor.
It is different from other rooms. It is locked, but there is no keyhole.
Lynn knocked on the door lightly according to the method taught to him by Professor Fox, and then said.
"It's hungry in the brain."
The door opened with a click.
Inside is a small study room, only two rows of bookcases are simple, and even the bookcases are not full.
It's not as messy as it is outside. There is a special magic to protect this room, so that it can withstand the corrosion of time for a short time.
"Do you have any needs, sir?"
Suddenly a voice came from above, it was an old-fashioned chandelier.
"I need to pack up the study and take it away." At this time the professor taught him the original words.
"as you wish."
The bookcases on both sides of the wall suddenly trembled, which made Lynn subconsciously take two steps back.
The bookcase is shrinking, and finally it becomes the same size as the schoolbag of a primary school student.
The two of them hopped from both sides to the desk in the middle, and finally joined together and turned into a black suitcase.
The chandelier on the ceiling fell down by itself at this time, lightly on the suitcase, and turned into a metal buckle on it.
Lynn finds all this in front of him very interesting.
He picked up the suitcase, closed the doors again and locked it, and called out Kira, letting it Apparate and take him back to London.
After returning home, carrying the suitcase, Lynn came to the empty room he had prepared before. The suitcase was placed on the ground, he said softly.
"I need a study room."
The metal buckle jumped up first. It jumped to the old height, and immediately jumped to the ceiling, turning into an English-style chandelier.
The two halves of the suitcase also began to separate. They found the wall by themselves, and continued to expand against the wall until it became the same as before.
In this way, the study of Professor Fox's house was perfectly moved to Linn's house.
In addition to the rare black magic materials, the two rows of bookshelves and chandeliers are naturally very valuable magic items. Including them, all these things were given to Lynn by the professor.
Of course, their functions are more than these.
Lynn sat at the desk, a cup of black tea appeared out of thin air in front of him, which was made by Kira for him.
"I need information on the diffusion of black magic."
He said to the unmanned study.
The bookcases on both sides seemed to have heard his call. Five or six books flew out of the bookcases, and then fell lightly in front of Lynn Those books had no covers. It's a book but it looks more like a note.
Lynn flipped through the notes casually. The things he remembered in them were a bit complicated, and they could not be understood in a short time.
He had expected this. If it were really easy to learn, Professor Fox would not call himself an expert in black magic research.
He was not in a hurry either. He put those notes on the side of the desk, after a sip of tea, he thought about it, and then said to the study.
"I want an interesting book."
The bookcase swayed for a long time this time, and finally it selected a book and floated in front of Lynn.
It is a book with a green cover, and a vivid white ghost is printed in the middle of the cover.
Unlike those notes, this book has its own name-"Exorcism and Evil: Soul Capture"
Lynn was fascinated by it all at once. He opened the book and read it from the first page.
One afternoon passed quickly. Lynn closed the book. He frowned. It was not the curse recorded in the tangled book, but the book gave him a revelation. He suddenly had a plan.
A plan that is a little bold but has the possibility of success!
In order to provide a basis for the possible implementation of his plan, Lynn immediately wrote a letter to Professor Fox.
He waited until the letter was finished before remembering that this was no longer at Hogwarts, and there was no public owl for him to borrow.
Lynn poked out his head expressionlessly, and glanced out at the little girl who was sitting on the sofa happily, nibbling on Kira's meat pie while watching the TV.
So what's the use of raising a lazy hamster?
It seems it's time to change a pet.
