Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 442: [Fly] and [Dove]
,!
After finding out so much information, and at the same time giving the most reasonable guess, Sean thought that this was Stephanie's limit, but she didn't expect her to have new clues.
The silver-haired girl did not have a mysterious character, she directly spread out the parchment she took out, which was also a torn page from a certain book, but it was more worn out and older.
"Have you heard of the Knott family?"
Hermione nodded immediately: "The Nott family, mentioned in the infamous "Pure Blood Guide", is one of the pure blood families - I remember that there is a very cold guy in Slytherin, the Nott family, named Theodore Nott."
Sean also nodded, not only that, he also knew more.
The Slytherin boy named Theodore Nott is a very thin guy who always gives people a sense of vulnerability. He always has a very indifferent face, rarely expressing disgust, and even less expressing pleasure.
In addition, although Theodore Nott is a pure-blood supremacist, he has not joined Malfoy's team, whether it is the small team in the past or the current big group.
Theodore Nott is a bit like a lone wolf in Slytherin. He walks alone and never joins any group. There are probably only a few people who can be called his friends.
The reason why Sean knew this man so well was because Theodore Nott's father, Old Nott, was a Death Eater. When he was in Malfoy Manor, the other party was huddled in the seat covered with a black cloak.
For this kind of person, Sean has investigated his personal information and family information.
However, it may be the reason why Voldemort did not rise. Although Old Nott became a Death Eater, his son Theodore did not seem to understand the group of Death Eaters.
He frowned: "Is it related to the Nott family?"
Stephanie nodded: "To be precise, it is related to the Knott family in the past - you should know that in the UK, many of the so-called pure-blood families are not families that have been passed down for thousands of years. Many families are actually branches of pure-blood families in other countries, and then gradually developed. Of course, after the decline of the main family, the branch became the only symbol of this family."
Sean nodded. For example, the Rozier family, a pure-blood family in England, is from the Rozier family in France. The "chicken" Evan Rozier that Sean used to make an example to others belonged to the British Rozier family, and the current headmaster of Nurmengard, Vita Rozier, belonged to the French Rozier family.
"The Knott family is not a pure-blood family born in the UK. I have checked a lot of information, and there is definite evidence that the Knott family is a branch of a foreign pure-blood family that came to the UK."
Daisy asked suspiciously: "But what does the Nott family have to do with the clue you just mentioned? Could it be that the ancestor of the Nott family is actually one of the characters represented by the animals in the nursery rhymes?"
Stephanie nodded: "To be precise, it is involved, look at this—"
Several people looked at the parchment. A crooked painting was recorded on the old withered yellow paper. The paint had already peeled off. Looking at the painting method, it seemed to be of the ancient Greek school.
In the picture, a middle-aged man in strange clothes is opening his eyes wide and rubbing his hands back and forth. In front of him is a mass of invisible shape, which seems to be some kind of treasure. Beside the man, a wizard in luxurious clothes was smiling and talking.
And under the illustration, there is a paragraph of text.
"The owner of the Nott family has welcomed a brand new guest. This guest seems to be from the land of mist, with greed and vigilance in his big eyes. This guest brought the treasure in the mist to the owner of the Nott family. He intends to exchange the treasure for a place where he can settle down."
"The owner of the Nott family shrewdly saw the value of the treasure. He readily accepted it, and provided the guest with a place to live and live, and even distributed a part of the family's property to the other party."
"The two have reached a long-term trading and cooperation relationship, and the Nott family used the misty treasures brought back by this person to expand their power crazily—but, the treasures in the mist seem to have hidden dangers."
"One day, Nott, who has become a well-known family head in the city, suddenly went crazy. He completely lost his mind, holding a pure black book in his hand."
"The Nott's house collapsed, and the guest in the mist lost his shelter. He took the black book and the Nott's legacy with him, and set off again to find a new home."
"Oh—by the way, the Knott family asked the guest's name, and he called himself 'Mr. Undeceived Audience'."
The text ended here, and several people frowned.
"The book of fog and black..." Sean thought, "there is indeed a high degree of correlation..."
Stephanie pointed to the 'Mr. Undeceived Audience' on the parchment and said, "And this..."
Sean was startled suddenly: "Audience, flies..."
When [fly] is used as a noun, it means a fly, and if it is used as an adjective, it can be understood as [clever; not fooled; fashionable and charming] and other meanings.
"This person was the [fly] who was present all the time?!" Hermione covered her mouth, "He witnessed all of this, and he came out of the illusion. At the same time, he brought out the story "The Poet and the Greedy Snake of Wisdom"!"
Sean took a long breath: "Even, he is very likely to be the author of the book."
Stephanie quietly listened to the discussion between them, and when it was about the same time, she took out a copied picture.
"Before you also deduced that there is a difference between eight kinds of birds and seven culprits, and the pigeon or skylark may be the only innocent one among them. In fact, it is indeed very possible that no one knows where this 'Mr. Undeceived Audience' fell apart after Knott's house fell apart."
"I searched for all the information I could find, including family histories of various families, etc., and found no trace of this person. The only exception is this——"
Hearing this, Sean looked over, and then his pupils shrank. The copied picture was engraved with a family crest, and the crest was a pigeon soaring.
"A friend of my grandfather once discovered a site in the wild. There may have been a small or big family there for thousands of years, and 'Mr. Undeceived Audience' appeared in the history of that family, but there were only a few numbers. In the end, it was mentioned that this person and the family at that time jointly resisted the attacking forces, but failed. The family was completely wiped out, and this person completely disappeared."
"And the family emblem is the pigeon."
Sean immediately thought of many things: "From the previous records, he was just seeking a shelter. When the Nott family was destroyed, he didn't seem to help the Nott family, but ran away directly - but according to the broken family history seen by Mr. Ollivander's friends, he and the [pigeon] resisted the attacking forces..."
Hermione's clever brain was working quickly, and she said with some excitement: "The animals that appear in nursery rhymes, [flies] and [pigeons] are all innocent witnesses, but because the poets have mastered part of the power of Death and Venus, they can't clearly leave the truth, and can only write a book euphemistically."
The more she spoke, the faster she spoke, and she threw them all out like a cannonball: "Innocents escaped from the illusion, on the one hand to spread the truth, and on the other hand to avoid the poet's gaze-but the poet may have noticed the abnormality of [flies] and [doves]."
"This can also explain why [Fly] has been looking for shelter after returning from the land of mist, and it is likely that the force sent by the poet to destroy the [Dove] family."
Sean said solemnly: "It makes sense, and based on the current clues, this is the most likely guess."
Stephanie also nodded: "I have repeatedly confirmed the authenticity and age of the information, and there is no trace of forgery. This period of history is indeed real. At least the [fly] and [pigeon], they really existed."
"Then our entry point is..."
Several people looked at each other and said in a low voice: "The Nott family!"
Shawn clenched his fist with his left hand and smashed the palm of his right hand: "Although the family diversion will lead to the loss of a lot of family history, but the Nott family has existed since that time, then they have a high probability of retaining a lot of things brought out from the main house. It may be secret information, or it may be some kind of magical creation. There may be information about that [fly]..."
Hermione also nodded: "We have at least found an entry point that is close at hand. The only trouble is that Theodore Nott may not be easy to fool..."
Shawn continued: "Give it a try, I will use all the power I can use to gain Theodore Nott's trust, Malfoy can at least talk to him..."
Of course, it is helpless to start with Theodore Nutter, a classmate of the same grade. The best way is to ask the head of the Nott family, that is, Old Nott.
If it was Sean two years ago, there would be no problem, but now that Old Nott has returned to Voldemort's arms, the only Death Eaters he can manipulate are probably Barty Crouch Jr. and Bella Lestrange.
If Sean went to Old Nott rashly, Voldemort might have noticed something, and the returnee might also deduce something from it, which Sean absolutely didn't want to see.
"Let's start with Theodore Nott—" Sean made a decision.
Of course, he still didn't say a word.
If Sean can't gain Theodore Nott's trust through normal means to obtain the secrets of the Nott family, then he may have to take some less legal ways.
The Imperius Curse is unrealistic. It is a very bad behavior for this Unforgivable Curse without a cure to appear on campus. There may be no taboos against the enemy Sean, but it is a bit too much to use the Unforgivable Curse on a classmate of the same grade who has not yet determined the good and evil camp.
Maybe Legilimency with no side effects is a better choice... Sean thought silently.
Although Stephanie's arrival today was a bit embarrassing at the beginning, the information she brought was amazing and effective, and Sean's embarrassment caused by Ella's gluttony was also relieved a lot-but the little guy's summer homework cannot be reduced.
The few people who have been unable to find the clue to the mystery finally found an entry point in reality, and their emotions rose a lot.
After discussing some details, the few of them fully enjoyed the afternoon tea prepared by Sean.
The mystery that has troubled them for a long time has finally found an entry point, and a corner of the truth may be revealed. Although the few people are not sure, and even all their thoughts so far are guesses and reasoning, they still feel relaxed. Coupled with the delicious desserts, the atmosphere in the living room has become much more relaxed.
However, the relaxed atmosphere did not last long.
When the official business was over and the dessert was almost eaten, the atmosphere began to change quietly again.
No one has forgotten the scene in the yard.
Sean ate the last pudding as slowly as possible. He regretted why he didn't prepare afternoon tea for ten people.
There is no excuse for the business now, this is the same room, isn't it killing me...
Just as Sean was struggling, Stephanie looked at the time and stood up.
"It's all over, it's getting late, Diagon Alley has a curfew now, if you go back late, you have to spend the night outside—"
Hiss, you are so considerate!
Sean stood up almost with grateful eyes: "Ah, are you leaving now?"
Stephanie glanced at Sean, and she could see the boy's relaxed expression.
The silver-haired girl smiled faintly: "Yes, thank you for your hospitality today, Sean—Daisy, Hermione, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you next time."
"Oh, I left so early...I'll see you off." Sean also laughed.
Hermione, who was still sitting behind her, was a little hesitant. Stephanie was gone, so should she go?
If you don't leave, it will appear that she is very uninterested and impolite, and Stephanie has shown her empathetic side. She is already behind, so do you still have to rely on it?
But if ~IndoMTL.com~ leaves... what if Stephanie returns after a while?
There are too many reasons, especially the curfew in Diagon Alley can give all kinds of legitimate excuses.
When the time comes, won't she spend the night at Sean's house? !
Just as Hermione hesitated and Daisy was about to speak, the bell for the private meeting rang.
Sean walked over. This living room was built for privacy. Of course, the voices from the outside cannot be ignored, so Sean asked his father to install a communicator.
Mother's voice came from the intercom: "Sean, didn't I bother you? But you have to come out, your school's Professor McGonagall is in the living room now."
Why did Professor McGonagall come here suddenly? Sean and the girls looked at each other in surprise.
"Okay, here we go."
When several people walked out of the living room and came to the living room, sure enough, the serious Transfiguration professor was sitting on the sofa.
"Oh, Sean, if you bother me—" Professor McGonagall thanked Mrs. Wallop for her black tea, and she pushed her glasses and stood up.
