HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Lycoris said goodbye to Pansy and did not go directly back to her home in Spider End Alley.

She changed her mind.

Dad seems to be doing something behind his back, otherwise why would he take me out?

If the matter is not dealt with within seven days, wouldn’t he have to find another reason to “kick him out”?

So mysterious.

It should be related to the Triwizard Tournament.

After all, there are always a lot of things to prepare for for such a high-scale game.

It's like a "multi-school joint examination".

Exams are a "measuring instrument" used by students to demonstrate their learning level, but there is still a lot of preparation before the exam.

The teacher will prepare the questions, the calculations can be solved correctly, and the printing factory will print them, etc.

The organizer of the Triwizard Tournament is Hogwarts. As Dumbledore's man, Dad always has to do a lot of things.

However, since Dad got himself out, it must be more than that.

But this is not something I should think about. What I should think about is...

Nott, don't you have any house elves in your family? !

What kind of trouble is it to be located in such a red rose garden?

I've been thinking wildly here for a while. Isn't there any creature here to take a look at the magic fluctuations?

Licoris was speechless. She couldn't even see the end of the roses.

It's hard to walk around in someone else's house without asking for their permission. If you bump into something you shouldn't see, there's no telling what will happen.

Licolis was not the kind of reckless person, so she stayed where she was.

Doesn't anyone know about the magical fluctuations in Knott Manor?

surely not.

But the house elf didn't dare to look for his little master, and the master was not at home.

The rose garden was a place where house elves were not allowed to enter, so Rose, the house elf, had no choice but to wait for her little master to come out.

So what is Theodore Nott doing who Licoris is talking about?

He is studying the magic circle.

Not long after the summer vacation began, Theodore Nott found an ancient Egyptian codex among the dark magic items in his home—the cover was an Ouroboros, or hand-drawn.

He opened it and read it. It was a very interesting book.

Nott, who originally loved reading, was immersed in this interesting book. Except for the house elf Rose who brought him food, he stayed in the study and never came out.

Fortunately, Lycoris used the door key to reach Nott's house after having breakfast at Pansy's house.

"Master, there are magic fluctuations in the rose garden. Do you want to go and take a look?" Rose stood in front of Nott holding lunch.

"Rose Garden?" Nott seemed to have just realized what was happening. Is it Pansy? Licoris? It can't be Malfoy, right?

By the way, it seems to be Licoris.

After leaving the guests there, Nott hurried to the rose garden.

Licoris has thought a lot about the Triwizard Tournament, especially how to pass the first level without any injuries.

I am bored.

Licoris thought about blowing up a sign in the sky to alert the people in the manor, but she thought it would be bad if she was misunderstood.

"Hug... I'm sorry..." Nott panted and ran to Licolis and apologized, "I kept you waiting for so long."

Seeing Nott's appearance, Lycoris looked at him for looking rather "sloppy and downtrodden".

There must be something going on, and the house elf didn't dare to disturb him, so he left him alone.

"Then how are you going to compensate me?" Licoris deliberately teased him, "After all, my time is precious."

"I'll treat you to a big dinner, and then go and see what I've been busy with recently that I forgot to entertain you." Nott also knew that she wasn't really angry, "You can stay for a few days."

"Okay, I'm very curious about what makes you, a young master of a pure-blood wizard family, want to study without caring about his image." Licoris nodded and agreed to the arrangement.

Nott took Lycoris out of the rose garden and took a shortcut.

"Rose." Nott summoned the house elf and told it to prepare food for the guests.

Rose looked at the girl who caused the tremors in the rose garden and couldn't help but pipe up, "Rose doesn't want to make food for the Mudbloods."

Rejecting the little master's request, it began to punish itself.

"You will stay in the kitchen and never come out." Theodore Nott's face turned cold.

Rose is the house elf his father gave him. He is loyal to the Nott family, not to Theodore.

"Little master, Rose is the house elf who takes care of you. Rose doesn't want to leave you." Rose's head banged on the ground and she didn't want to go to the kitchen.

"I am ordering you as a member of the Nott family. Now, disappear immediately." Nott was even more unhappy. Lycoris was here and did this.

Lycoris watched the house elf disappear, and Nott summoned the house elf again.

"Cruise, now go prepare a meal for two guests." Nott said in a calm tone.

"Yes, Master." The house elf disappeared without even raising his head.

"I'm sorry my house elf said that." Nott apologized for the second time.

Is this to give yourself some authority?

Not to the point.

If you are not welcome, there is no need to let yourself come.

Licoris didn't answer, and just looked at Nott with her brown eyes.

Nott knew the seriousness of the matter. "Mudblood" was not a good word.

"Rose is the house elf of the Nott family, who took care of me when I was growing up. Clarisse is the new house elf, and I haven't gotten used to it yet." Nott's explanation was a bit pale.

Because Rose is a house elf of the Nott family, he has the habit of looking down on non-pure-blood wizards.

Clarisse is the new house elf. She is my house elf. No offense to you.

Licoris understood.

But what does that have to do with me, the "your house elf scolding me" thing happened.

"I thought you didn't welcome me." Lycoris waited for Nott for a while before speaking.

You don't welcome me, so you say it through the mouth of a house elf.

"Do you know why the anchor point is the rose garden?" Nott asked suddenly, looking at the rose arch behind Licoris.

I do not want to know.

Looking at you, you have a story.

Nine times out of ten it is either love or family affection, or it is family affection plus love - parental love.

When I heard this, I had a common secret.

How dangerous.

According to the development of the novel, people who share a secret are either close relatives or enemies.

I don’t know this routine yet?

But this is a "proposition" and it is difficult to answer.

"Can I choose not to listen?" Licoris sighed and looked at him expectantly.

"I thought you would want to know?" Nott knew that her curiosity and adventurous spirit were still strong.

"You can tell me what you want to say." It doesn't matter whether I want to listen or not. I think it's true that you really want to talk. "But let me tell you in advance, if there is any secret or something, I really don't want to know."
