Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1253: 1 trivial matter

"Mrs. Parkinson...I'm sorry, because the situation in the Department of Mysteries was quite chaotic at the time, I can't remember exactly who went there..."

Nott looked at Vanessa on the opposite side of the coffee table, showing an expression of hard thinking. But then, he saw his expression change slightly, and a slightly deliberately greedy smile soon appeared in the original hard thinking and meditation.

"Oh! Madam, I think...In order to make me remember as soon as possible, I might need a little bit of ‘stimulation’ or something."

For this kind of oblique remarks, Vanessa, as a person who has been in the pure-blood social circle since she was young, is already too familiar with it.

Yes, maybe some people will be more euphemistic, while others will be more straightforward, even almost blackmail. But it must be said that interests are always the objects that people are chasing after.

"Of course, the right stimulus helps thinking."

Vanasha had hidden contempt in her heart, but on the surface she remained calm and even smiled softly. Then, she saw that she took out several stacks of shiny Jin Jialong from the bag she carried with her, and put them firmly on the coffee table between the two of them.

To be honest, this gold coin is usually nothing to the long-standing pure-blood family. But in the face of a dying family like the Knott family, it was already a huge windfall income.

What's more, what Vanessa wants from Nott is just a clue to the time converter.

However, when Nott saw him, he shook his head decisively after hesitating for a while.

"Double again."

As soon as the voice fell, Vanessa couldn't help but frowned—nott, this fellow really dare to mention it! Where did he come from?

But before Vanessa could say anything, Knott who heard the opposite suddenly added:

"...Mrs. Parkinson, don’t worry, I’m not raising the fare randomly. In fact, I don’t remember the situation clearly, but I can help you ask...So, if you agree with this For the price, I’ll find out for you if anyone has ever taken the time converter; and if someone has taken it, who is that person."

As he was talking, he immediately spread his hands and said calmly:

"But, if you think my news is not worth the price... then this deal will end here!"

Sure enough, are you still too impatient?

Vanasha is usually a caregiver about spending money. The reason why she was able to take out these Jin Jialong so easily this time was entirely because she wanted to get the time converter too early.

After all, although she had miscalculated the speed of Maca's trip to London, she still knew that she could not leave the house for too long.

And when she was so anxious, she seemed to be seen by Nott?

Seeing that the other party clearly grasped her eagerness, Vanessa frowned and nodded—no way, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would have such a rare “time converter” Objects.

"Fine! Just do as you said, double it!"

"Oh, generous Mrs. Parkinson," Nott said happily when he saw this, "Trust me, you won't regret making this decision..."

Speaking of this, he stood up suddenly and nodded at Vanessa:

"Then, please have some tea here and some snacks... I'll go find someone for you."

At this moment, Mr. Nott’s daughter, the little girl who was afraid of life, Joey came to the coffee table with a pot of black tea and some cheap biscuits, and placed the tray entirely by Vanessa’s hand.

"Joy, you are here to accompany Mrs. Parkinson. Dad will be back soon."

The little girl looked at her father a little bit hesitantly, and finally stood silently on the side, which was regarded as accompanied.

After Nott left, Vanessa looked at the girl who was a little at a loss with her head down, and then waved her hand impatiently:

"If you are willing to stay here, then sit down; if you don't want to, stop here, find a place to play by yourself!"

……

The Death Eater who went with him to the Department of Mysteries, in fact, Knott remembers clearly.

Not only that, he even knew who the "former Death Eater" was most likely to steal the time converter in the Time Hall.

However, in front of Vanessa just now, he just pretended to be unable to remember.

Obviously, he was naturally not for the "double" intelligence fee-his greedy expression at the time was simply used to mislead Vanessa.

It must be said that Knott’s luck is indeed a little bit short. He has followed Voldemort twice in more than ten years, and he has not gained the slightest benefit.

But that doesn't mean he is a fool.

In Knott's view, what made Vanessa so anxious to get the time converter before must be a very valuable transaction. And since he is the one who knows the clues to the time converter, why should he give it to Vanessa?

After a while, Knott hurriedly appeared at the door of an "old friend" of his.

"Tuk tuk tuk tuk."

With a knock on the door, the door in front of him opened, and an elderly house elf emerged from behind the door.

"This guest, may I ask...oh, is it Master Knott?"

"Hmm," Nodded Nodding, and asked indifferently, "Is Walton home? I have something to do with him."

Here is the residence of the McNeill family.

About ten years ago, Knott often came here as a guest, and what he called "Walton" was his former classmate and friend.

Speaking of, the matter of following Voldemort was also decided by him and Walton together.

After that, Walton, who had a better academic record than Nott, was sent to the Ministry of Magic by Voldemort; but Nott, who had a higher duel level, stayed under Voldemort's hands.

However, neither of them thought at the time that Voldemort would have fallen so suddenly-before Walton, who was lurking in the Ministry of Magic, could play a role, the power of the Dark Lord instantly collapsed.

Finally, Knott was caught by the Auror and was sent to Azkaban along with most of the other Death Eaters.

Walton, however, was quite secretive because of the hidden mission of the Ministry of Magic, and even Karkaroff didn't have his name on the whistleblower list, so he escaped the disaster very smoothly.

But in Knott's heart, Walton owes him once.

After all, if he had confessed to his friend during the trial at that time, given the seriousness of the undercover Ministry of Magic, he would definitely get a very considerable sentence reduction.

But because of his deep friendship with Walton, Knott used an oblivion spell on himself when he was arrested, and forcibly survived the trial of the Ministry of Magic using Veritaserum. So much so that after leaving Azkaban, he could not immediately think of his best friend. It was not until the neighbor mentioned Walton that he knew that he still had a former friend.

Just as Knott was secretly reminiscing, the house elf inside the door quickly stepped aside, respectfully and authentically:

"Master Walton just came back yesterday, and it should be in the study now... what you should remember is the one on the third floor where the Master used to be before."

"Got it."

Nott nodded slightly, then stepped his legs apart and walked through the front hall to the side stairs.

Actually, he doesn't remember any "big master's study". The effect of that oblivion spell was very strong. He only learned something about Walton from his neighbors, and inferred the actual situation from the situation after Voldemort's re-emergence.

Fortunately, although there are many rooms in the McNeill mansion, there is only one room on the third floor with the door closed.

"Who?"

As soon as Nott knocked on the door, he heard the sound that was only slightly familiar to him.

"It's me," he said loudly, "Alston."

"What?"

The next moment, I heard a rush of footsteps in the study, and then the door was opened by the other party from inside.

"Oh! Why did you think of coming to see me?"

"Because you have never come to see me..." Nott looked at this strange friend in front of him, and deliberately said indifferently, "So I have to come to you, right?"

"Ah," Walton saw him seem resentful, and quickly took his arm and walked in, and explained as he walked, "You can't blame me... I said brother, you know, that time In the future, we are lucky to be able to get out! To be honest, I really want to see you very much, but I am worried that it will draw your attention to the Auror instead."

"Okay," Knott patted Walton's arm when he heard, "I was just kidding—I know you have been watched by the Auror since then. , It’s definitely not convenient to run around."

"Hey--"

Walton nodded and sighed:

"It's not easy! Who knows after Voldemort's comeback~IndoMTL.com~ actually lost faster than more than ten years ago?"

While speaking, he warmly greeted Nott to sit down on the sofa on the side of the study, and then he sat next to him very casually.

"Well, let’s not talk about the boring things... Anyway, it’s all over now, and I’m determined not to get involved in those messy struggles. No, if something happens in London, I will sneak Go home!"

After a short pause, Walton immediately turned to say:

"By the way, Alston, what can you do when you come back to me? I remember, you seem to have been at home all this time, why did you come here suddenly today?"

"The main thing is to tell you the old story," Knott smiled and said, "You know, I just hide at home all day, it's so boring..."

But after that, he shook his head slightly, and Nott also sighed:

"But if you have to say something, there is also such a small thing."
