Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1252: The Knott family
"Boom."
At the door of a slightly dated 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. Knot 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?" When Vanessa heard the words, she raised her eyebrows immediately, "It's Knott's thing to see or not, who are you? Will it be 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 will ask Mr. Patriarch...Please, please wait a moment."
After saying that, the girl probably was a little dazed by fright, and closed the door again with a "bang".
"Tsk."
Vanasha looked at the door that was closed again, and she couldn't help but slap her tongue lightly, a trace of displeasure appeared in her eyes.
"If it weren't for making McLean owe some favor, I wouldn't have come to this shabby place!"
Mumbling like this, Vanessa glanced at the house with a little impatiently--the mossy brick walls, and the lawn and flower beds in the front yard that hadn't been taken care of at first glance, all showed this. How frustrated the owner of the house is.
However, Mr. Nanote, like her Parkinson's family, belongs to one of the sacred 28 tribes, and even the original "List of Pure Blood" was written by Mr. Nott's father.
It is really sad for a pure-blooded family to mix in this state today.
After a while, the door to Nott's mansion opened slowly again, and then Vanessa saw the little girl who had owed herself respectfully.
"Mrs. Parkinson, please come in—"
"Huh."
Vanasha 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."
Actually, it's no wonder Vanessa looks down on this place, because this house is really far from 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 was led by the little girl into the living room, and 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 having a child since she was a child. Maybe she has been negligent about her. Please forgive her."
Speaking, Mr. Knott reached out and said to the sofa in the middle of the living room:
"Sit down, please...Joy, go make tea for your wife and get some snacks."
"No more snacks," Vanessa sat down on the sofa unceremoniously, and said lightly, "Nott...Speaking of which, we are also old classmates...You are the same age as my husband, even older than me. High last class. Regarding family background, you are not much different from our Parkinson family... I don’t think you need to be too polite."
"How can this work," Mr. Knott smiled reluctantly, "Madam, actually...what's the matter with you here, let's just say it!"
As he spoke, he also took a seat not far away, but his expressions and movements seemed a bit...how do you say? air of gloominess?
To be honest, although Vanessa looked down on Nott a bit, she also understood why the other party was in such a weak state.
I think that more than ten years ago, Knott was 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 defeated and the power of the Death Eaters fell apart. Many Death Eaters were captured and imprisoned in Azkaban.
Yes, he is not as lucky as Lucius.
For so many years, he has been locked 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 comeback, Knott thought he would be able to follow Voldemort again. And this time, he even made up his mind to let the Knot family come out of the desperate situation on the verge of extinction.
But who knows, Voldemort was defeated again before he could use his fists and feet almost!
As a Death Eater, after Voldemort died in the vestibule of Hogwarts, he immediately retracted back to his home in disarray. 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 imprison him again in the never-day Azkaban to be with the Dementor.
However, for more than a year, no one has come to him... as if he has 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 a question, 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. Actually, I came to you for something."
After a short pause, she continued immediately:
"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 it?"
"Huh?"
When Nott heard this, he was slightly startled, and then nodded slightly.
"Yes, a prophecy about Voldemort's death of 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 the thing is cherished, it has no use value and is inconvenient...what do I want it to do?"
"You didn't take it?" Vanessa frowned immediately, but quickly said again, "What about the other than you? Did anyone take it among the Death Eaters who went with you?"
"Do you want a time converter?" Nott recalled for a while, and then said after a while, "Well, Voldemort said at the time that he could bring some'souvenirs' to go... I didn't see it, but I did Someone might get it."
"Really?" Vanessa listened, when even her eyes lit up, "Who were the people who went there? Tell me...and, as much as possible, think about who has the most Maybe get the time converter... If the information provided is accurate, you will benefit from it!"
In terms of the current situation of the Knott family, the "benefits" promised by the Parkinson family are obviously quite attractive. When Mr. Nott heard this, he immediately lost his head and thought.
However, he didn't just think about who was with him at the time, he was also wondering why Vanessa wanted a time converter.
Even though Knott asked the other party to speak 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?"
With a slight eye for attention, 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 take that unknown benefit into his own hands.
To be honest, their Knott family needs a turnaround more than the Parkinsons family! After all, if it continues to be so lonely, this family will really be over.
"Let me think about it, think about it..."
Vanasha hasn't noticed Nott's thoughts hidden under the powerlessness. In her opinion, it is 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 house.
"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. As soon as he saw Maca coming back, Pansy hurriedly greeted him.
"Where is your mother?"
Before Mr. Parkinson, the father, could speak first, Maca asked immediately.
"She...she said that she was going to find someone because of something temporary, so she went out soon after you left~IndoMTL.com~Pansi opened the door for Maca and her father, and whispered, "But she said that she should be back soon. "
"Oh?" Maca thought for a while, "You said she went out after I left?"
"That's it." Pansy said.
Although Vanessa’s behavior seemed to be somewhat unknown to Maca, the other party’s actions seemed to be purposeful.
Are you looking for a time converter?
Although I was a little annoyed by Pansy's mother's previous "deception", if he could really get the time converter from the other party, then he wouldn't bother to 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 can sit for a while...I'll make some black tea for you." /
Looking at Pansy turning and leaving, Maca couldn't help sighing-shouldn't you just wait?
