"Who are you?"

The old woman turned around, her eyes full of vigilance. Louis felt the slightest hint of hostility coming from Mrs. Longbottom.

This witch is very vigilant, and the overall strength of the Longbottom family is very strong, including Mrs. Longbottom, who is now in her sixties or seventies. If she could escape unharmed from an adult Death Eater and still have the ability to defeat him, then she must not be as weak as she appears.

"I'm a student at Hogwarts, and Neville is my friend."

Louis took the initiative to show his friendly side.

"Neville? Did he tell you about this?"

"Well, actually, Senior Neville didn't tell me that himself." Louis scratched his head, "It was Principal Dumbledore who told me."

"What? Has he never told you about this?" Mrs. Longbottom was suddenly angry. "This is not something shameful. He should be proud, just like Harry Potter!"

Louis looked at the two insane wizards on the hospital bed, but he never thought that they were just two crazy psychopaths.

Frank and Alice Longbottom were well-known Aurors in Britain more than ten years ago. They had joined the Order of the Phoenix to fight Voldemort, but unfortunately, they met Bellatrix and Barty Crouch Jr. in the end. .

"They used to be Aurors. You know, they are very popular in the wizarding world." Mrs. Longbottom praised her children without hesitation. "The couple are very talented... Huh? What's wrong with Alice?" ?”

Louis found that Neville's mother seemed to be struggling to get up from the hospital bed. She was whimpering, pointing one hand at Louis, and seemed to be holding something in her hand.

"Mrs. Longbottom, are you calling me?" Louis pointed to himself uncertainly. He had never had any interaction with the Longbottoms. Suddenly, Alice Longbottom reacted to him.

Mrs. Longbottom, who was sitting aside, was also very surprised. Except for Alice having the same reaction to Neville, she was indifferent to everyone else.

He walked over slowly, and then he saw Alice Longbottom lying on the hospital bed. Her face was pale, thin and haggard. From her face, she could still vaguely see that she had been tortured to death by Death Eaters fourteen years ago. scene.

Nowadays, one of the two Death Eaters who dealt with Mrs. Longbottom was permanently imprisoned in Azkaban, and the other has been kissed by the Dementor and lost his soul. They have finally gotten what they deserve. retribution.

Louis sat beside Alice's bed. He followed Neville's example and slowly stretched out his hand. Alice pressed what she was holding into his hands.

It was a candy wrapper with the word Drobble printed on the label.

"Child, what is your name?"

Lady Augusta Longbottom looked at him, her eyes beginning to change.

"Louis, ma'am, Louise Wiggins."

"Wiggins? Are you not a pure blood?" Mrs. Longbottom asked, "Ah, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that, I was just curious."

"Strictly speaking, forget it, Wiggins is the surname of my adoptive parents." Louis replied, of course he knew that Mrs. Longbottom did not despise Muggle-born people.

"No wonder, Alice may have recognized you as someone familiar to them." Mrs. Longbottom said kindly, "By the way, you just said your name is Louis, is it Louis who represents Hogwarts in the Goblet of Fire?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Neville once told me about you. You are a very good and brave boy." Mrs. Longbottom praised. "Neville is lucky to know a boy like you."

"Okay, you can keep that wrapping paper." Mrs. Longbottom stood up from the bed. "The time has come. It's time for me to leave. The Hogwarts Express should have already set off."

"Thank you, Mrs. Longbottom."

. . . . .

After coming out of Ward No. 49, Louis thought of a possibility. The Longbottoms should know and be familiar with their mother. They might even have been under the influence of Bellatrix Lestrange and Minibus at that time. Her mother was present when Tee Crouch gave chase.

There were not many people in the Order of the Phoenix at that time. They were the backbone of the Death Eater organization that resisted Voldemort, and brought together the vast majority of the elites of the British Ministry of Magic.

"You're back, how are you thinking?" The masked man stood beside the information desk, leaning against the wall.

"I will go to Germany with you, but you have to promise to let me see her."

"That's no problem. I also have a certain say in the Thunder God Society."

"You just went to see Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom."

the masked man asked as they made their way back to Sirius' hospital room.

"Yes, you know them?"

"I can't say that I knew each other. People from the Order of the Phoenix were all famous at that time." The masked man answered, "I am British and lived in the UK. Later, I fled to Germany to avoid the pursuit of the mysterious man."

"Why is Voldemort hunting you?"

"At that time, there were only two pure-blooded existences in the wizarding world, one supported him, and the other opposed him. There were almost no neutral existences, and wizards who did not support him would be hunted down by Death Eaters. Although there was a force like the Order of the Phoenix, Resistance, but his power is too strong, not even the Order of the Phoenix can stop him."

"That's when my face got hurt, so I wore a mask."

"Where's the Ministry of Magic?"

"Don't expect the Ministry of Magic to do anything." The masked man sneered, "Nine out of ten pure-blood families support him, and the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic are all controlled by pure-blood families."

"That's not the case. If you just oppose it, how can you be forced to go abroad?"

Although Death Eaters are arrogant, they are not willing to kill those who only hold opposing views.

"Well... I discovered one of his secrets, so I ran away because I had no choice but to do so." The masked man waved his hand, "Okay, it's been so long. It's been almost ten years since the mysterious man fell. There's nothing good to do. Yes, go in."

Only then did Louis realize that they had returned to the outside of Sirius's ward. He pushed the door open and found that Harry was the only one inside.

"You're back, Louis."

"I'm going to Germany, Harry." Louis explained the matter to him, "I'll leave this to you. You may use it during the summer vacation."

"So impatient?" Harry looked at the token in his hand, which was the Demonic Order given to Louis by Fudge.

"This is too expensive, Louis, I can't have it..."

"Take it first." Louis insisted on giving the sign to Harry, "Maybe it can save your life. You also know that Voldemort has been resurrected and your life is the most threatened."

"Okay, Louis, you have to be careful."

"Yes, yes." Louis turned back and walked to the masked man. Suddenly he remembered something, "Harry, remember to tell Professor Dumbledore about my itinerary."

"No need, he already knows."

In the ward, Dai Lisi's portrait spoke out. She had been listening to the conversation between the two.

"You are so fast."

She winked at Louis, the old Hogwarts headmaster showing off her playful side.

Later, Lewis and the masked man left the ward together.
