Sword and Magic and Taxi

Although Grindelwald's duel with the Flamel family did not appear in any newspaper news, many wizard families, especially those with close ties to Europe, still knew the news. Grindelwald's failure, is how the incident is described. But how Grindelwald failed, there are only guesses, not the exact process.

If the results of the reincarnation technique were better, and if the resurrected apprentices were still humans, then even this news would not be released at all. Old Flamel also had his own considerations. In order to prevent future troubles, he must inform other families of this matter to some extent. However, the old man kept his promise and said nothing about who and how Grindelwald was defeated, and strictly ordered no one to say anything. It's possible that the person who couldn't control his mouth and leaked the secret could just use the Forgetting Curse to erase the relevant memory, but that would be the end of it.

If there are secrets, there will be attempts to decipher them. When some people analyze the movements of the LeMay family, they will naturally notice Barbara and Zhao Mai. This eighth grader seemed so unexpected and unconventional, which aroused the interest of many people. However, Zhao Mai actually lived a low-key life for a while. Apart from attending classes at Hogwarts and running the potion shop, he did not go anywhere else at all.

Out of curiosity, many spies bought some products from empty brand magic stores and went back to try them out, only to find that the results were surprisingly good! They began to believe that the reason why Barbara of the Lemay family was close to Zhao Mai was nothing more than the excitement of adolescence and his excellent potion ability.

Grindelwald didn't say it, Zhao Mai didn't say it, and Flamel didn't say it either, so that duel was still a mystery. The only advantage was that Zhao Mai got a lot more orders inexplicably, and soon his wallet started to suffer. The phenomenon of gaining weight.

Every Friday night, Barbara leaves Hogwarts and goes to the potions shop in Hogsmeade. At this time, the store belongs to her alone. She opens the window on Saturday morning to welcome the first light of the weekend, then hums a song and cleans with a wave of her wand. Zhao Mai usually goes to Oxford in the morning, and then stays until noon on Saturday before going to the potion shop. Barbara's favorite thing was to open the store door for him and experience the joy of occupying a magpie's nest.

Zhao Mai came this time with an animal on his shoulders. A gray night owl closed its eyes, shrugged its head, and swayed slightly, taking a nap. Barbara, help me buy some fresh meat. Gray Wind is too tired.

Tolkien lost his memory of the past and forgot that he had such a bird. The Night Owl is a hunting bird of prey, and Gray Feng is one of the best after being trained by Zhao Mai. The sharp black claws can easily catch a barking stray dog ​​to death, and then carry it back to the nest for dinner. Tolkien couldn't stand the smell of the attic, and despite his reluctance, he let Gray Wind leave.

Gray Wind did not leave, and kept wandering outside Tolkien's house, sleeping in the open until he was discovered by Zhao Mai. Although Tolkien did not write a store sign for Zhao Mai as promised, he still has a stake in this potion store. Zhao Mai would visit his partners every week and leave his dividends and royalties - you also need to pay to read Collection of Lost Stories - so he saw Hui Feng. Come with me, you can't do anything if you are so weak. Zhao Mai could understand the animal's thoughts, so he said to Gray Feng: I will not be your master, but you need a place to stay. I hope you can Be your landlord.”

In this way, Zhao Mai brought the bird back and cleared a habitat for it in the attic. He carefully preened Gray Feng's feathers, used natural force to heal the injuries, and then mixed some anti-inflammatory and sterilizing herbs to make meatballs and fed them to him.

This is Tolkien's messenger. Barbara watched Zhao Mai take care of Gray Feng, looked at his soft eyes and gentle hands, and felt that he was extremely gentle at this time, not at all like the warrior fighting on the grass. . He's not coming to class anymore, is he?

Yes, he has forgotten magic.

It won't hurt if you forget it, it will only if you remember it. Barbara said suddenly.

Who said this? That makes no sense! Zhao Mai waved his hand violently, People who have never remembered will never let others forget because of pain! Those who cast the forgetting spell are all wizards who remember the spell! Even if There is pain, but it’s obviously not enough!”

Don't be angry, I was just saying casually. Barbara was startled and quickly waved her hand to explain.

Zhao Mai glanced at her and let out a long sigh: Sorry, I am more sensitive to things related to the Forgetting Curse. I was a little too excited just now.

I understand, I know how it feels when a good friend doesn't remember you. Barbara said: I used to run around, left the manor, and went to the next village. One family thought I was a lost girl. , took me in. I lived there for a week, and then I was taken back. After that, the whole village didn’t remember me.”

So, I pretended to be lost again and was taken in by them again. At that time, I couldn't control myself and just kept crying...crying. They thought I was sad because I couldn't find my home, but in fact I was crying. But it’s because I found something.”

I left before my family came to me. I didn't want their memory to be wiped out again, so even if I just left the image of a stupid kid running around, it would be fine. Barbara said: I didn’t know why a wizard would invent the Forgetting Curse, so I went to ask Grandpa.”

What did he say? Zhao Mai frowned.

He said it was invented to forget magic. Many wizards are unable to protect their children, for fear that they will be regarded as heretics and be burned at the stake, so it is safer to let them forget magic and spells. Barbara Said: Grandpa said that this kind of history affects the image of wizards too much, so it is not reflected in the history of magic. Wizards were killed miserably by Muggles.

Why are wizards with magic afraid of Muggles with no magic? Is magic a liability?

This...I don't know, I haven't thought about it. Barbara tapped her chin and fell into deep thought.

Gah...gugu... Gray Feng scratched Zhao Mai with his claws, and then flapped his wings. It looked at the meatballs on the plate, tilted its head and cooed at Zhao Mai.

It seems like it can talk. It's so interesting! My owl doesn't do that.

If you are willing to deliver a letter for me, I would be very grateful. Zhao Mai nodded to Gray Feng: Of course you can go see Tolkien at any time, and there will always be a window open for you in the attic here.

Gray Wind nodded and then started to eat the meatballs on the plate. Can you talk to animals? Can you teach me?

I will try to teach you. Zhao Mai said: The more people who can understand animals and nature, the better.
