Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Boom."

At the door of a slightly old house, Mrs. Parkinson knocked on the closed door.After a short while, I heard a slight footstep in the room, and the door opened gently.

Then, I saw a girl who looked a little thin and looked out the door timidly.

"Is Mr. Not here? This is Vanessa Parkinson, and I have something to talk to him."

The girl looked at the dignified and luxurious Vanessa at the door, and after hesitating for a while, she whispered:

"Sorry... Patriarch has not seen guests for more than a year."

"Huh?" Vanessa raised her eyebrows immediately when she heard the words, "It's Knott's business or not, who are you? Is it your turn to take charge of him?"

"Ah... yes, sorry."

The girl was so scolded by her, she cursed her neck and apologized.

"I see, I'll go to ask Mr. Patriarch... Please, please wait a moment."

Having said that, the girl probably was a little dazed by fright, and closed the door again with a "bang".

"Tsk."

Vanessa looked at the heavy and closed door, and could not help but slap her tongue slightly, her eyes showing a hint of unhappiness.

"If it weren't for making that McLean owe some favor, I wouldn't have come to this messy place!"

With such a whisper, Vanessa glanced at the house with a little impatiently--the mossy brick walls, and the lawn and flower beds in the front yard that had not been taken care of at first glance, all showed the owner of this house How downhearted.

However, Mr. Nanote, like her Parkinson's family, belonged to one of the 28 sacred tribes, and even the original "List of Pure Blood" was written by Mr. Nott's father.

It is really sad for a pure-blood family to mix in this state today.

After a while, the door of Nott's house slowly opened again, and then Vanessa saw the little girl before that respectfully owed herself.

"Mrs. Parkinson, please come in—"

"Humph."

Vanessa didn't even look at her, but just snorted and walked inside.Seeing this, the girl hurriedly chased after closing the door.

"Mrs. Parkinson, please go here... the owner is waiting for you in the living room."

In fact, it is no wonder that Vanessa looks down on this place, because there is indeed a big gap between this house and her Parkinson's house.In fact, this is not a home inherited by the Nott family at all. The original manor has already been sold.

It didn't take a few steps, and soon Vanessa led the little girl into the living room. Then she saw a tall but thin figure standing by the window waiting.

Hearing the footsteps behind him had reached the living room, Mr. Nott turned around and nodded slightly in the direction of Mrs. Parkinson.

"It's a rare honor for Madam to visit my Knott's house... My daughter was afraid of childbirth since she was a child. Maybe she has neglected her. Please forgive her."

As Mr. Nott said, he reached out and said to the sofa in the middle of the living room:

"Please sit down... Joey, go make tea for your wife and get some snacks."

"There's no need for snacks," Vanessa sat down on the sofa unceremoniously, and said lightly, "Not...Speaking of which, we are also old classmates...You are the same age as my husband, one taller than me. By the end of the year. Regarding the family background, you are not much different from our Parkinson family... I don't think you need to be too polite."

"How can this be done," Mr. Knott smiled reluctantly, "Madam, actually...what's the matter with you here, let's just say it!"

While he was talking, he also took a seat not far away, but his expressions and movements seemed a bit... how to say?air of gloominess?

To be honest, although Vanessa looked down on Nott a little, she also understood why the other party was in such a weak state.

I think that more than ten years ago, Knott was still quite energetic.Because at that time, he, like Lucius of the Malfoy family, was one of the few Death Eaters in the pure-blood family who followed Voldemort as the head of the family.

However, Voldemort was once defeated, and the power of the Death Eaters also fell apart. Many Death Eaters were caught in Azkaban and imprisoned.

Yes, he is not as lucky as Lucius.

For so many years, he has been kept in Azkaban, savoring the sense of despair of losing happiness forever.It was not until Maca went to Azkaban that he was taken out together and freed from the terrible prison disaster.

Because of Azkaban's escape and Voldemort's return, Knott thought that he could climb with Voldemort again.And this time, he even made up his mind to let the Nott family come out of the desperate situation on the verge of extinction.

But who knows, Voldemort was defeated again before he almost had time to use his fists!

As a Death Eater, after Voldemort's death in the vestibule of Hogwarts, he immediately retreated to his desolate home.He was worried every day, for fear that people from the Order of the Phoenix or the Ministry of Magic would come and take him away, and then put him in the never-day Azkaban to accompany the Dementor.

However, for more than a year, no one had come to him... as if he had been forgotten by everyone.With this feeling, he couldn't say whether he should be fortunate or sad.

Just when Knott fell silent after asking, Vanessa suddenly said:

"Well, since you don't seem to need useless greetings, that's fine. After all, I don't have much time to bend around. In fact, I came to you for something."

After a short pause, she immediately continued:

"I remember that when Voldemort was trying to control the Ministry of Magic, he sent you to the prophecy hall of the Department of Mysteries to find a prophecy ball, didn't he?"

"Well?"

When Nott heard this, he was slightly startled, and then nodded slightly.

"Yes, a prophecy about Voldemort's death to an enemy...what's wrong?"

"As far as I know, if you go to the Hall of Prophecy, you must pass through the Hall of Time," Vanessa said. "Did you ever get the'Time Converter' there at the time?"

"Time converter?" Knott immediately shook his head. "Although that thing is cherished, it is neither useful nor convenient to use... What do I want it to do?"

"You didn't take it?" Vanessa frowned immediately, but quickly said again, "Then except you? Did anyone take it among the Death Eaters who went with you?"

"Do you want a time converter?" Nott recalled, and then said after a short while, "Well, Voldemort said at the time that he could bring some'souvenirs' to go... I didn't see it, but there might be someone Go get it."

"Really?" Vanessa listened, when even her eyes lit up, "Who were the people who went there? Tell me... Also, try to think about who is most likely to get it. Time converter... if the information provided is accurate, your benefit is indispensable!"

In the current situation of the Knott family, the promised "benefits" of the Parkinson family are obviously quite attractive.When Mr. Nott heard this, he immediately lost his head and thought.

However, he wasn't just thinking about who was with him at the time, he was thinking about why Vanessa wanted a time converter.

Although Knott asked the other party to talk directly first, he could feel that Vanessa seemed to be in a hurry for this thing.

"Is it possible..." He thought to himself, "What are the important benefits here?"

After a moment's mind, Knott couldn't help but become more concerned about the matter.He was thinking that if he could find out why Vanessa was looking for a time converter, he might be able to win that unknown benefit into his own hands.

To be honest, their Knot family needs a turnaround more than the Parkinson family!After all, if it continues to be so lonely, this family will really be over.

"Let me think about it, think about it..."

Vanessa hadn't noticed Nott's thoughts hidden under the powerlessness. In her opinion, it was easy to pinch a down-and-out pure-blood family.

...

Obviously, Mrs. Parkinson did not expect Maca to return from London so soon.In her opinion, since London is so chaotic, even Maca may not be able to come and go easily.

So, while she was still outside trying to find the time converter without a trace, Maca had already appeared near Parkinson's home.

"Professor McLean, you are back...ah, and father!"

When Maca hurried back to Parkinson's house, he found Pansy standing at the door eagerly waiting.Pansy hurriedly greeted him when he saw Maca coming back.

"Where is your mother?"

Before Mr. Parkinson, the father, could speak first, Maca asked immediately.

"She...she said she was going to find someone for a temporary event, so she went out soon after you left." Pansy said softly as she opened the door for Maca and her father, "but she said, I should be back soon."

"Oh?" Maca thought for a while. "You said she went out after I left?"

"That's it." Pan Xi said.

Although Vanessa's behavior seemed to be somewhat unknown to Maca, the other party's actions seemed to have a purpose.

Are you looking for a time converter?

Although he was a little annoyed at Pansy's mother's previous "deception", if he could really get the time converter from the other party, then he wouldn't care about so much.

"So, did she say where to go?"

"I didn't say that," Pansy shook his head. "Professor McLean, you can wait here for a while! Well, father, you also sit for a while... I'll make some black tea for you."

Seeing Pansy turned and left, Maca couldn't help sighing-shouldn't you just wait?
