Chapter 163 The Encounter in Diagon Alley
The summer vacation was not leisurely. Voldemort made a comeback, and wars happened every day. Although the Panik family was far away from these disputes, they could still learn something from the Muggle news.
Annie spent a whole month preparing her things for the trip. First of all, she changed her clothes. Although "clean up" can be used, changing clothes is very useful in case of emergencies and needs to be changed.
Of course there are some consumables, when Annie went to Gringotts.It was found that Diagon Alley was deserted, and the lively streets and alleys in the past were no longer the same.
The Gringotts hall was extremely busy, and many wizards began to take out their belongings and bring them with them, and the goblins also began to feel that the situation was not right.
"Hi, are you here to clear the warehouse?" An old goblin asked Annie.
"Clear the warehouse?" Annie asked inexplicably.
"It is to empty your home's treasury and put all your property in personal custody. It is always better to have gold by your side."
"No, I'm only here to withdraw some money, please ask Panik's treasury..."
The old goblin seemed to have heard some joke, "Are you from the Panik family? The Panik family is actually coming to withdraw money?!"
Such a picky family is actually going to start withdrawing money?Is the world about to end?
"Yes, I am Anne Panik, the daughter of William Panik, and I need to withdraw money."
The old goblin seemed to be in trouble, "Griphook! Take out all the money withdrawal procedures drafted by Mr. Panik!"
what happened?William Panik actually set up withdrawal procedures?
It wasn't until Annie saw the large and thick withdrawal procedure...she didn't realize how stingy William Panik was.
First of all, with the company of the goblin, you have to read all the contract procedures for withdrawing money, and you must randomly fill out questionnaires, investigations on withdrawals of accidental injuries, surveys on withdrawals of money from poverty at home, etc...
And if you can't get 95 points or more, you can't withdraw money!
Among the questions were what did William Panik like to eat?
"Does William Panik need to do this to withdraw money? What about Bailey Panik?" Annie asked.
"Mr. Panik has told you that you only need to do this when the younger generation comes to withdraw money." Griphook said.
OK, William Panik... fuck her this is!
(William: I was thinking about when Chris and Bailey didn't use the money, and I was afraid that you would use the money indiscriminately, so I had to do this...)
It took Anne a full three hours to fill out the questionnaires. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Can I withdraw money now?"
"Okay, you come with me."
The old goblin personally took her to the underground vault. They sat on a rickety mine car and ran for a long time like a roller coaster, passing through a waterfall in the middle.
"Vault 888."
Well, looking at such an earthy number, it is certain that William chose it.
The old goblin ran across the crack of the door with his slender fingers, and the patterns in the crack of the door curled up automatically, and the complicated locks were unlocked one by one.
Annie pushed open the stone door, and the golden color inside made her blind.
Boy, it turns out this is William Panik's coffer.
There are mountains of Galleons inside!Although she didn't know what other people's treasury was like, Anne knew that this wealth would be enough for their family to spend most of their lives.
Annie only packed a small bag, and she will need money for going out in the future, but it won't be that much.
After leaving Gringotts, Annie saw many homeless wizards of the hemp seed on the road, begging along the street, and being bullied by pure-blood wizards.
Annie couldn't stand it anymore, and threw a silver Sickle.
However, this move brought disaster to her.
"Hey, are you a bitch?" A strangely dressed wizard suddenly put Annie's shoulders on his shoulders, baring his fangs and sneering. "A little girl, shouldn't come out alone, right? Are you in any trouble? I can help you."
"I don't need it." Annie ignored him and continued walking. He suddenly shouted: "I found a hemp seed! Come and catch her! She is a rebel against the Dark Lord!"
"Passed out!"
Annie quickly cast a spell on him, but this movement still attracted the attention of the pure-blood wizards in Diagon Alley, and they looked at her with strange eyes.
The sorcerer who approached him barely avoided the spell.
"Did you hear that? She's...a bitch...disgusting..." Their discussion grew louder, and they slowly drew out their wands.
Oops, it's mostly Voldemort's supporters here...
A red spell rushed towards her in the dark, but was knocked back by another spell.
"Who did it to her?"
"Brace?! Why are you here..."
"Don't talk yet." Blaise, who came out of the crowd, said softly, "You just need to nod what I say later."
"Everyone, there is a misunderstanding. This is my fiancée—Miss Burns." Blaise asked Annie to hold his arm, "Sorry, you know that the Burns family has always been like this, relatively neutral .”
"She's from the Burns family? How do you prove it?" the wizard said with a sneer.
"The Burns family has red hair. I think this is already obvious. Haven't the current bitch wizards been registered by the Muggle-born Committee?"
"I am sorry."
The voices of discussion in the crowd became less and less, and finally everyone dispersed.Annie breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to continue to ask Blaise questions, but after thinking about it, it was not safe enough here.
"Go to my house first, I know you must have a lot of questions to ask me."
Anne looked at Blaise. At the age of 17, he was at his most charming. His brown hair was naturally curly, his light brown skin was shining brightly in the sun, his figure was bright, and the corners of his eyes were full of temptation and tenderness. Even though he didn't have this intention in his heart, he was born with a pair of charming honey-colored eyes.
In the past, he was always joking around unscrupulously, but now that he is serious and serious, he is more attractive than ever.
They returned to the Zabini House through the fireplace in Diagon Alley.
…………
The wizard walked into the alley and spat unwillingly on the ground, "Damn it...she must be someone with a bad identity..."
"What are you talking about?" There was a man in a black robe at the end of the alley, his voice was low and terrifying.
"I said...you...forgive me...ahhh!!!"
Everyone only heard a long cry in the alley, and when they rushed over, only the torn cloth of the wizard was left in the alley, but the person had disappeared.
--------------
"What's going on? How could I be Burns? When did your fiancée become Burns!" Annie said angrily.
"Hush... Mom is resting. She has been annoyed by the Dark Lord's group recently, and there seem to be two waves of forces looking for her. And... I don't have a fiancée yet, so don't be angry..."
"Okay... wait, who said I'm angry!"
Blaise looked at Annie's blushing face with a smile.
The rise of Voldemort also brought troubles to Blaise's family again...
Annie remembered what Nalinda Zabini once told her, that she relied on her status as a dead wife of a Death Eater to protect the entire Zabini family.
But whether this kind of trick works now is another way of saying it.Voldemort would not give up a single resource that could go to war.
They came to Blaise's room and began to chat openly.
"What happened just now? Why did there suddenly appear so many pure-bloods in Diagon Alley? And the two waves of forces you just mentioned..."
"Let's answer one by one first. Because of the rise of that person, the number of pure-bloods has also begun to increase. Now Muggle-born wizards have to go to the Muggle-born registry to register and confiscate their wands. Without wands, they can only walk along the street. Beg for food. And those who are close to them will be judged as uncaught bastards." Blaise said.
"The two waves of forces I mentioned just now, one wave comes from that person, I think you all know it. I don't know the other one..." Blaise said doubtfully, "Someone seems to want to take advantage of this chaotic situation. Build momentum, I heard from my mother that the group of people came from France."
"Creating momentum..." Two ideas popped up in Annie's mind, one was Grindelwald's old department, and the other was probably Tom Riddle.
Grindelwald's old department is controlled by Vida Rozier in Miranda's home, Miranda will not do this...
That leaves only Tom Riddle.
"Brace, how much do you know about that French power?"
"Not a lot, but if mom is inquiring about their actions, after all, if their organizers don't know who they are, this deal is too bad."
Annie thought for a while, "Well, actually next year..."
"You're not going to school next year, are you?" Blaise asked.
"Yes, I won't go."
Because she's going out to find Tom Riddle, to put an end to everything, and to get the story back on track.
"That's great, it will end, as long as we remain neutral..."
"Brace, like my dad, I can't be neutral, I can tell the good from the bad, v... that man's indiscriminate personality doesn't support him as a rational leader."
"But if you must choose to stand in line, you will definitely be hurt! I don't want you to be like this!" Blaise was a little anxious, Anne Panik has always been like this, dead-headed.
"Brace, if you choose to be neutral, I don't blame you. I don't blame you for choosing to stand on the sidelines because you chose to protect your family. This is human nature." Annie looked at Blaise for the first time.
"Please don't call me a coward?" Blaise sighed. "So... are you going to take Dumbledore's team? What can I do to protect you? I thought you'd be neutral with me and wouldn't..."
"Brace, I'm not a child anymore, I don't need anyone's protection. I'm going out to do something next year, can you help me one last time?"
Annie handed him a small mirror that could communicate. "This is William's. I need you to help me collect information on the French forces. I will reply to you if I am safe."
"What are you going to do?"
"You don't have to ask," Anne said, "so you promise me to do this?"
"You know, I can't refuse you."
"Thank you, then...I have to go back too."
Annie stood up and grabbed a handful of Floo powder. Just as Blaise turned his head to grab her, she had disappeared into the green flames.
He had nothing but a handful of ashes... nothing.
Damn it... just a second ago, he realized that this might be the last time they saw each other.
Anne Panick... She was still so determined that she didn't even want to give him a hug.
Blaise only felt sore eyes, and this feeling of powerlessness to see her go away but being unable to do anything made him sad. In fact, he had always known who lived in Anne's heart, but he had been deceiving himself like a clown.
He can only be Anne Panik's friend...
If there is a second chance... He will definitely stop thinking about anything, and if you are rude, you will be rude!
The long green fire in the fireplace was rekindled, and Annie came back panting, "Brace! I forgot to take...uh..."
His embrace is like the scorching sun, making people breathless, the young man's arms full of strength are around her, as she looks at, the unextinguished furnace fire emits green light like little fireflies, forming a pattern with the red sparks in the darkness A beautiful star map.
Different from his hug, his kiss was extremely gentle, he only took a sip, his honey-colored eyes drooped slightly, as if he was begging for mercy.
She didn't resist this time, it was just a final farewell to him.Only at this moment did she truly realize what was on the boy's mind, and the feelings accumulated over the years gathered at this moment into a rash and impulsive move.
Goodbye, Annie.
Goodbye, Blaise.
Hope you (me) come back and everything is well.
