[HP] I'm hanging out at Hogwarts

For some reason, Annie felt that when she met Regulus, she felt a sense of kinship.

"To be honest, I feel the same way." Eric took another sip of water beside him as if he had seen through her mind. "If you are so sure, I will be full."

"Sorry, I'm just too excited... It's been a long time since I met someone I know." Regulus pulled Annie up from the ground, and this holding hands aroused Eric's high alertness.

His eyes were fixed on the two of them holding hands, and then on Annie with vigilance.

It's fine, no blush.

It seems that the guy named Regulus in front of him is not a threat.

"How did you two teenagers come to Paris? Wasn't William Panick with you?" Regulus gestured for the two of them to sit down. "By the way, this is..."

"This is my cousin, Eric Gardner." Anne solemnly introduced, and Eric also straightened his back.

The leather sofa in Regulus's house was soft, and Annie felt like falling asleep on it.

"The eyes of the two of you really look like... are you engaged?" Regulus suddenly began to gossip, "My parents are cousins, and they live a very happy life."

"No, no, no! We're not a couple! We're here for business." Annie immediately waved her hand, "We came to Paris to find someone."

"It's strange... If you say you are looking for someone, how could people from the French Ministry of Magic come to arrest you? The current Ministry of Magic has been infiltrated very seriously, and the relationship within the Ministry is very complicated. Part of it is that person... and part of it is not. Too clear." Regulus said, "But a few months ago, that person's influence was wiped out."

Is this another force that Blaise once said?Was it Tom Riddle?

All of this was too fast. Tom Riddle had seen Voldemort's methods, so he naturally knew how to gather his power in the fastest way.

"Which one are you looking for? The mysterious man? Or..."

"Another one," Eric snapped.

"Listen, children, now you stay here obediently. I will try to get information from William Panik to take you back. This place is very dangerous." Regulus stood up. "You guys haven't had breakfast yet, have you? How about two apple pies? Mmm...and bacon."

Regulus walked towards the study, and Annie also stood up, "Please don't contact him."

"Please, this is not what you guys are here to do." Regulus held Annie's shoulders and pushed her back onto the sofa. "After eating the apple pie, go back to England obediently."

"no…"

"Go back, kid, don't tell others that you've been here."

"Horcrux!" Annie said loudly to Regulus, who unexpectedly stopped at the kitchen door.

Eric was also confused, what is a Horcrux...

"Who told you?" Regulus froze, "William Panik didn't know these things, where did you know these things..."

"it's complicated."

Anne and Regulus explained the situation alone, while Eric sat alone in the hall, staring at the painting on the wall.Why Annie didn't let him know anything... Obviously they are the closest relatives.

Why didn't she choose to believe him, and even didn't want to say such an important thing in front of him.

Eric was deeply hurt, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, recalling how quickly Annie denied it just now...

Tsk... so annoying.

When he saw the flowers on the table, he picked up a few white petals distractedly. When he saw the two of them coming out, he hurriedly stuffed the petals into his pocket.

Annie and Regulus came out of the study, and Regulus sighed, "I will help you, but you have to be careful."

"By the way... haven't you gained anything for so many years?" Annie asked.

"Xiao Ai, come here, I know you must feel uncomfortable leaving you there alone, let me tell you briefly." Regulus waved to Eric.

"I came to France after being rescued by William Panik. This house was left to me by my mother. When I was young, I made a bet with Sirius. The winner would live at No. 12, Grimaud Square. The loser lives here."

"Then you've earned it now."

12 Grimmauld Place's underworld decor isn't something everyone can tolerate.

"For the next ten years, I have been doing research on Horcruxes, looking for ways to destroy it, and where are the remaining Horcruxes of that person..." Regulus looked at Eric, " Xiao Ai, the container where the soul is split and stored is called a horcrux, and the horcrux is immortal, and this person will always exist as a wandering soul."

"What's the good of slicing yourself?" Eric showed a disgusted expression, "Who is so perverted?"

"That person." Regulus wrote the name on Eric's hand.

"...I knew he was a pervert." Eric said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect such a pervert."

"We have to think about this matter in the long run. During this time, you must first learn to survive here. I will slowly introduce the situation in Paris to you, and act as soon as there is a suitable opportunity."

Eric responded, put his hand back into his pocket, and poured out the petals all at once.

"...The petals are not picked from my table..."

Regulus looked at the flowers on the table, and then at Eric who looked guilty.

"This is my favorite flower! I've been raising it for more than ten years. I never thought that a white-haired person would give a black-haired person today..."

"I'm sorry..." Eric bowed his head guiltily.

--------------

Regulus' secret base in Paris is very elegantly decorated, and most of the furniture has the high-end logo of the Blake family.

Anne envied that life in exile could be so good.

"The Horcrux in the diary separated out and formed its own consciousness, which is not easy to deal with." Regulus said as he put on his apron and prepared to cook.

"I have studied books about horcruxes over the years, and found that horcruxes not only split the soul, but also take away part of the mind and magic power. The diary is his first horcrux, and it took away the second mystery man at once. One-third of the soul, and now it has absorbed a few Horcruxes... No wonder there is such a commotion in Paris."

"How strong does a person's soul have to be to experience seven divisions..." Eric sniffed the fragrance, "It smells so good... What are you doing, Blake?"

"French baked mushrooms, in this messy world, it's not convenient to go out to buy food, so I picked a few from the backyard."

Whoa, home cooked frecules.

Since Regulus started his escape career alone, he has developed various skills, and the young master, who was originally a man who never touches the sun, has also learned to cook by himself.Several times, he would have snapped his fingers and asked Kerry to come over and help.

Little Master Regulus, who has no experience in grocery shopping and is not good at mathematics, is often confused in the Muggle supermarket.

Merlin knows that buy one get one free means half price!These muggle shopping is full of twists and turns!Kreacher!save him!

"Are you sure this thing is edible?" Annie looked at the baked mushrooms on the plate, and the strange red color was especially weird in the soup.

"I think it's not bad... Alas..." Eric suddenly slumped on the chair, "A lot of strange villains... dancing."

"Damn him, he was poisoned!" Annie patted Eric's face, "Aren't you stupid! You can't eat that red mushroom just by looking at it!"

Regulus looked at Eric calmly, "It's a small matter, I often encounter this situation." After speaking, he took out a bezoar from the drawer, "Just use this."

"Thank you! This is very precious." Annie stuffed the bezoar into Eric's mouth at once, and his livid face slowly recovered.

"It's okay, I still have a drawer."

Why do you have a drawer of bezoars, explain to me!

--------------

A miserable cry pierced the darkness, the jackdaws perched on the branches fluttered, the sky was gray, and the mist like swamp fog permeated Malfoy Manor.

The Death Eaters sat tremblingly at the long table in the hall of the Malfoy Manor. Voldemort was furious when his plan to intercept Potter failed last time, but this time he didn't know why.

Lucius' wand had already been broken by the master, and the three of the Malfoy family were sitting in a row. Severus looked disapprovingly at the chief's empty chair, and then at the child opposite.

Theodore Knott, sitting with his father.

Theodore Nott had just been rescued from Azkaban, and his face was extremely thin.

"I heard that your lord is angry about what happened over there." Yakris said in a low voice. "Over there in France..."

"Troublesome things will naturally be dealt with. Luke Wood led a large group of people to defect to that side, and Munda also rebelled."

As a black mist fell, Voldemort appeared without a sound, and everyone lowered their heads.

"It seems that you all know the news, that bastard has formed its own army, you..." Voldemort grinned, "Incompetent!"

"My lord! We will get rid of him!" Bellatrix immediately looked at Voldemort earnestly, "The Lestrange family is in France! We will use all our strength..."

"Shut up, your branch is just a branch, and it has long lost contact with France. He, I will get rid of him personally."

"Perhaps we should send some men over there to watch, my lord," said Rodolphus Lestrange.

"Which one of you is more suitable?" Voldemort glanced at everyone present, "Draco?"

"No! My lord! Draco doesn't have this ability alone, he needs to practice hard by his side!" Narcissa, who was eager to protect her son, stood up.

"So... Usain? You're from France."

"My lord, my father and mother are on standby in France." Lilian also stood up.

"There are already two members of Usain's family...so...Nott?"

"I would like to go."

"Theo!" Old Nott couldn't help shouting, but it made Voldemort even more suspicious. "What's the matter, Nott? Your son is willing to work for me. Do you want to stop him?"

"I dare not...my lord." Old Nott clenched his hands under the table.

"Then Ashina Eglint will follow along. Last time you failed to get rid of William Panik, this time I will give you a chance."

Ashina nodded expressionlessly. He has very beautiful short brown hair, and his gray-blue eyes are full of coldness.As if everything had nothing to do with her, and he was just a spectator.

Nott and his son left Malfoy Manor with heavy steps.

"Why did you go there? I've heard that the power over there is not inferior to the Dark Lord, and in that dangerous place..." The dark circles under Theodore's eyes revealed fatigue.

"If I stay here, I will only hurt my loved ones more," Theodore said. "I don't want to hurt her."

For a moment, he thought of Annie, that eccentric girl who had gradually entered his heart in her own unique way. If he stayed in England, he would definitely have to fight her again.And the last time they met at Hogwarts, he didn't even dare to face her.

He also had that feeling of difficulty breathing at the moment of his mother's death.

He never wanted to be her enemy on the battlefield.

Blaise is still here, he promised Theodore that he would protect her.Then he can feel at ease, he knows that once this war starts, there are only two endings for him.

Either wear the clothes of a prisoner and be imprisoned forever, or touch a diamond with someone else's blood on your hands.

"I'm sorry...I failed to protect your mother well, and I failed to protect you well." Old Nott felt very ashamed in his heart. It was because of himself that his son was drawn into this whirlpool.

Theodore was a strict father, so strict that he treated his son almost harshly. His wife died of illness, but he never came out. He paralyzed himself with work and alcohol every day, and treated Theodore. Never expressed any warmth.

But now his son has embarked on the same old path as himself.

"Theo...is the Panik kid, isn't it?" said Old Knott, and Theodore closed his eyes, as if every breath of cold air he inhaled hurt his throat.

"Yes."

"I opposed you in the past because of the relationship between me and her father, but now I hope you can be together, at least she can make you feel better. I mean, if there is such a chance, I will help you."

"Father…"

This is no longer possible.
