dragon and boy

Merlin's beard!

Albus almost burst out, his joy becoming evident in the smile that gradually formed on his face, there is probably no one in this world who is up to this daunting task except the Half-Blood Prince!

"You look happy." Olim poked, "Do you know the Half-Blood Prince?"

"No."

Olim looked at Albus suspiciously, only to hear Albus say again: "We have to find the Half-Blood Prince, only he can make the antidote for Nuxies, believe me, he is the only one."

The task of finding the half-blood prince fell to Albus, and Grindelwald wanted to go with him, but as the lord of a country, he really couldn't leave the castle.He was still a little worried after thinking about it, so he ordered someone to prepare a bag of marks for Albus, just in case.And Albus has no money on him, and this bag of marks has become his greatest help.

At the gate of Hogwarts Castle, Grindelwald led his white horse for Albus. Before Albus got on the horse, he took advantage of the other party's attention, and suddenly held the back of Albus's hand and let it fall gently. in a kiss.

Albus withdrew his hand, and he rolled over and jumped onto his horse.He was still wearing the coat that Grindelwald had just taken off, which made him look more like a holy unicorn under the moonlight.

Grindelwald said, "I'll wait for your return."

Albus didn't answer, just said: "I'll borrow your clothes for a few days first."

He disappeared into the night on his horse. At this moment, Wenda walked out of the castle, holding another coat in his hand and wanted to pass it to Grindelwald.

"Do you need me to find someone to help you find it?" Wen Da asked.

Grindelwald nodded: "Just send someone to investigate a man named Severus Snape. You don't need to report any information to me, just tell Albus."

Half-Blood Prince... Grindelwald murmured the name silently in his heart. Although he had never met the real person, he still heard about Severus' deeds.

At this moment, Albus knew that Snape was in Hogwarts, but this country is so big and there are so many people, where on earth would he go to find such a gloomy-looking man with a hooked nose?

No one walked around in the dead of night, not to mention that there was no tavern or farm where he could stay.Albus tied the horse to a tree trunk, and the dirt field had enough fresh grass for the white horse to eat.

Albus sat down in an open space, and he lit a fire in front of him, and the light from the fire illuminated his face, and also illuminated the autumn night that was beginning to turn cold.Grindelwald's overcoat was very warm, and Albus wrapped himself tightly in it, and stretched out his hands above the fire for a while before he felt less cold.

He turned his head and looked at the white horse not far away. It seemed a little tired and was resting on the grass.Albus named it Fox, he missed his old friend a little bit, and hoped that this horse would always be with him like Fox.

While the horse was taking a nap, Albus thought carefully about his future plan. To be honest, he was at a loss as to how to find Snape.

Albus decided to visit the small town ten miles away first, which Olim had passed by on his way to Hogwarts.This was the only town that Olim passed by. Since the other party had heard about the Half-Blood Prince, Snape must have left footprints on that land.

Occasionally, sparks splashed out. Although Albus was not afraid of fire, he couldn't let Grindelwald's clothes be burned.Albus backed away a few feet, he smiled, he didn't have the money to pay for the dress.

The firewood burned out after two hours, and the sky began to brighten gradually, until the rising sun dyed the top of Albus's head red, he got up and patted the white horse, and started the journey again.

At the entrance of the town is a farm. There are several cows raised in the pasture there, and there are many goats that are free-range not far away.Albus led the horse closer, and he saw the mistress of the farm looking at him.Most of the people here are civilians, and it's rare to see people who can wear the same fabric as Albus's clothes.

"Hello." Albus stopped outside the manor, he greeted the hostess, pointed to the door and asked, "Can I buy these rusks?"

"Sorry, we don't buy it." The hostess walked towards Albus with a smile. She paused intentionally and said, "But if you are really hungry, I can give it to you for free. Do you want raisins or whole raisins?" Mai's? Come in and have a glass of fresh milk before you go."

Albus readily accepted, he was indeed hungry and stuttering.The hostess helped him pack a lot of bread in a paper bag, and took two sticks of raisins and two whole wheat ones. When she handed the warm milk to Albus, she suddenly asked, "Are you going to Booth?" Patton?"

Albus was taken aback, and the hostess added: "This is the only way to Beauxbatons, but the depression outside the town is not easy."

After thinking for a while, Albus inquired: "May I ask if you have ever seen a man who is tall, with a hooked nose, and looks gloomy?"

The hostess seemed to be thinking, but still shook her head, hesitated for a while, she pointed the way to Albus: "Maybe you can go to the town and ask, Mr. James at the third street has lived here the longest, He's very knowledgeable."

Albus thanked him and praised the fresh milk before leaving.The hostess seemed to be busy with her own affairs. Standing at the entrance of the town, Albus saw the smoke rising not far away, and he could smell the milky aroma from the bread in his hand.

This small town is relatively remote within the Hogwarts territory, not too many people, and there is a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere everywhere.There were a few people walking sporadically on the street, and they all cast strange glances at Albus more or less.According to what the hostess said, Albus inquired about the address of Mr. James, and before knocking on the door, he stood in front of the door and hesitated for a long time.

Before knocking on the door, the door was opened from the inside.

"Aren't you coming in?" Albus followed the old voice, looked into the room, and found the white hair on Mr. James' head at a glance.

Albus patted Fox on the back, it was a smart white horse, it actually stomped its hooves, and then stopped in place with a high sound, as if it was ready to wait for Albus to come out.

Walking into the small house, the furnishings in the house looked a bit old.James brought Albus a glass of water, he sat down opposite Albus, and said, "I saw you from a long distance away, you don't look like us, I guess you are mostly looking for I inquire about things, and outsiders who come to our place often do this."

After finishing speaking, James set his eyes on the saber at Albus' waist, stared at it for a while, and asked, "Are you from Durmstrang? Durmstrang is far from us." One hundred and eight thousand miles."

"I'm here to find someone." Albus said straight to the point, "Half-Blood Prince, have you seen him?"

James froze for a moment, then shook his head.He looked at Albus's cup again, got up and brought it over with trembling hands, and said in a disgusted tone: "Oh, these damn bugs, please don't mind, my conditions are a little rough. "

Albus witnessed the whole process of James picking up the cup, and he thought he had found the right person.It wasn't until James sat across from Albus again with a brand new glass of water that Albus continued to ask: "Have you ever heard of the Half-Blood Prince? I heard that he would take any medicine for money." Do."

"Unfortunately, I haven't heard of it..." James paused. "What medicine do you want him to do? I mean...if you can find him."

"Poisons, love potions..." said Albus, "I would like to have a little of every kind, but money is not a big problem for me."

As he said that, Albus put the money bag with Mark in his waist on the table. He looked directly at James and didn't speak immediately, but chose to pour out the currency in the money bag himself.

"Is that enough?" Albus asked.

James was stunned: "Sir, I'm afraid this is not enough. Last time Durmstrang's royal brothers came to look for him in person, but they brought a whole box."

"No." Albus retorted calmly, "these are not for him, these marks belong to you, it is enough for you to live comfortably for a few years. The half-blood prince's money is still behind, it is definitely better than that broken box There are many more."

James hesitated, and he asked, "How did you find out?"

"You added powdered lovage to my water, and I'm sensitive to their smell, they're fishy," Albus explained, "and it's not just you, even the lady at the farm outside town has a problem. After I left, smoke rose from the chimney of the farm. She was telling you that someone was coming. When I walked into the town, people kept looking at me, and they looked at me strangely. At first I suspected that this was your curiosity about strangers, but now that I think about it... Is this the town of the Half-Blood Prince? Are you all his people?"

James took the pile of marks on the table a foot closer to himself, he got up, closed the windows of the room, drew the curtains and sat down again.

"It's true that his family is here. Everyone in our town has been favored by him, but none of us know where he is." James said, "As long as he doesn't want to be found, no one can ever see him. He is too Smart, no one can make those medicines, those medicines are unheard of. And there are too many people looking for him, but this is the first time I have seen someone as rich as you."

Albus was not in a hurry when he heard the words, he put his hands on the table and leaned forward.James didn't understand what Albus meant, he frowned, and kept rubbing the thumbs of his two hands around each other.

"I can't find him," said Albus, "so I'll have to let Severus Snape find me himself."
