Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1998: Quiet Charlotte
Lu Ping and the others are discussing, it would be more appropriate to discuss this matter with whom to ask. Regardless of whoever they ask in the end, they still believe that there is always a reason why Mrs. Maxim concealed it.
Yes, they will no longer easily doubt anyone they once trusted. After all, disasters are present and disasters are rampant, and trust has become a very extravagant thing that everyone should cherish.
It’s just... often there are some cruel facts hidden behind white lies. To be honest, there is a ripple of anxiety in everyone's hearts right now.
Yes, even Aberforth, who still looks careless, is actually the same-didn't you stop seeing his hand rubbing the goblet?
However, only Charlotte is still the same as usual.
"Sirius, would you like another drink?"
I saw her go to the table holding the wine bottle and motioned to Sirius. But now everyone is bothered by Maxim's letter, so naturally they are not in the mood to continue drinking.
"No, no more."
Sirius shook his head at her, and then discussed with Lupin and the others. Then, he subconsciously glanced at the back of Charlotte returning to the long table at the bar.
Yes, at this time, the more calm people are, the more problems they have. In fact, Charlotte’s "problem" has already been noticed by everyone in this room-she didn't just become like this tonight.
The demise of the Witte family, after all, caused Charlotte to suffer a big blow. Although she didn't like that home since she was a child, but aside from others, at least she has always loved her father deeply.
But everything is gone, no matter what you like or what you hate, almost all of your family members have become victims of this huge disaster.
In this case, Sirius and Lupin wanted to hide Charlotte from the beginning, and Maca also thought that maybe they should do it... At the very least, before the disaster ended, it seemed that they didn’t tell the truth. Tell her the need.
However, the only two remaining children of the Witt family are among their asylum seekers, who are taken care of by Lupin-where can they go in this world? And this community is only a little bit of a place, Charlotte also lives here, and sooner or later he will find out.
When she learned from the child that it was her father who saved the two with his own life, and even finally turned into a living corpse to send them out...seriously, she doesn’t even know herself. How did you hold back and didn't collapse.
But since then, Charlotte has changed.
She, who used to laugh, no longer smiles. She became quiet and indifferent, as if nothing could affect her heart anymore.
However, maybe it was because of those two children, those two remaining family members, she didn't completely sink down. Even if she just pretended to be calm and natural, as if nothing happened, she didn't want her child to see her desperate.
But this may be the limit Charlotte can do.
"Is there anything bad happened on the frontline?"
When Sirius and Lu Ping were hesitating about Maxim's letter, the thought only flashed through Charlotte's head, and then she instinctively ignored the past.
There are enough misfortunes in this world, and she doesn't want to feel any more sadness. If she thinks about it more, she is afraid that she will really not be able to hold it.
"Aberforth, I'm going back first-I have to get up early tomorrow and wash the clothes for the two children. They don't know where they are going these days. The mud all over is really letting people go. Headache."
said casually, Charlotte put down the rag in his hand, waved his hand, and walked to the back door. She now lives with her two children, near Aberforth, walking closer through the back door.
"Huh?"
Aberforth had another meal, and after looking at her, he nodded.
"Um... rest early."
To be honest, it's quite strange that Aberforth, who has always been indifferent, would say that. However, Charlotte obviously didn't care much, and wasted his rare concern.
Not long after, Charlotte walked step by step on the stone road outside the back door under the moonlight, and then gently opened a door not far from the street with a "click".
At this point in time, both children naturally fell asleep long ago, so they have to lighten their hands and feet.
Charlotte didn't turn on the light either. After closing the door, she slowly went up the stairs to the second floor, opened the door on the right hand side and stood by the door and took a look. Seeing both children asleep under the blanket, she also turned back and returned to her room.
Because of living here, everyone does not use spells as much as possible, and must do everything by themselves. For them who are not used to Muggle life, they are still very tired. In addition, Charlotte, who has never even been married, has to take care of her two children. Recently, her life has been imaginable.
It's a pity that even though she is exhausted physically and mentally, she still can't sleep well at night. The death of her father, the demise of the family, and even the inability to deal with disasters, as long as she lay down, everything began to circulate in her mind.
This situation~IndoMTL.com~Maybe everyone who lives in this community currently has it, but I believe she is the most serious.
After lying down for a while, realizing that she might still be unable to sleep on her own tonight, Charlotte got up again after all, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a bottle of potion.
However, after uncorking the bottle, she looked at the medicine in a daze.
Yes, occasionally...just occasionally, Charlotte also thinks of Maca. I haven't seen him for a while, and I don't know how many powerful enemies he has defeated and how many innocent lives have been saved.
However, the disaster is still going on. Listening to the weekly secret letter content, it seems that it is still getting worse.
"Goooo."
You can’t think too much about bad things. If you think too much, it will only drown everything in despair. Charlotte took a sharp sip of the sleeping pills, then corked the bottle and put it in the drawer, and then lay down on the bed.
The night is getting deeper, and the worms outside the window one after another, but it highlights its tranquility.
The effect of the potion is reliable...Under the action of the sleeping pills, Charlotte gradually fell into a dream. Even though the nightmares were repeated, this night, anyway, passed by again.
The next morning, when Charlotte was washing clothes at the door, he heard something-Sirius left the community and went to Boothbarton to find the truth in person.
After listening to it, she just lowered her head and responded softly.
"Oh, is that so?"
