HP's Silence is Gold

Chapter 22

Knockturn Alley is indeed not a good place, at least for Linna, Harry and Draco, it is several times worse than imagined.Turning her legs back and kicking away the cannon fodder wizard with obvious malicious intentions, Linna frightened other ragged wizards and wizards who were about to approach them with piercing eyes. Harry held a wand and stood in front of Draco.

"Are you lost, my dears?" The sudden voice attracted Lina and the others' attention.

An old witch in a shabby black robe stood in front of them, her bloodshot eyes were wide open, she opened her mouth and tried to maintain a friendly smile, but her mossy teeth were really unbearable. A touch of goodwill.

"Get out of the way." Linna looked at her coldly.

The old witch didn't care about Linna's words at all, she tried to get close to them, but——

A sharp knife was pressed against the old witch's neck. Linna stuck out her tongue, licked her dry lips, and asked, "Are you dead?"

The icy blade pressed against her wrinkled skin tightly, and the old witch was aroused by the shudder one after another, and her eyes inadvertently showed a trace of fear. "You..." Her wand was inside the robe, wouldn't it be too late to take it out now?

Sensing what the old witch was going to do, Linna tightened the knife on her neck, and glanced at the other's eyes sharply. "Be smart." Although it was only three words, it was enough to make people shudder.

Draco's heart was pounding, he didn't expect that Linna would suddenly take out a knife, put it on the old witch's neck, and try to threaten her.He reached out and pulled Harry's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Where did she get the knife?"

"...Sister, she has been hiding the knife in her sleeve." Harry hesitated for a moment before telling Draco the truth.

After listening to Harry's words, Draco's face gradually turned livid, his lips murmured for a while, and finally he choked out such a sentence. "Her awareness of prevention...is very strong."

"Yeah." Harry nodded in agreement.

The old witch was so frightened that she didn't even dare to move, and the ragged wizards around her didn't dare to act rashly either. No matter how stupid they were, they wouldn't want to risk their own lives. Eyes are not decorations. After many years, can't you see who the girl is?

Lin Na's eyes swept over the people around her indifferently, and seeing that they were all shocked by her, her heart relaxed a lot. She pushed the old witch away forcefully, leaving a not deep and not shallow scar on her neck. bloodstains. "Go." This was said to Harry and Draco, Knockturn Alley was not a place for them to stay for a long time.

The surrounding wizards didn't seem to dare to step forward to continue to make trouble for them, and consciously made way for Linna and the three of them to pass.The old witch fell to the ground in embarrassment. When she touched her neck with her hand, the viscous liquid immediately made her scream. Apart from cursing Linna silently in her heart, she couldn't do anything to the girl. She The screaming continued for a long time, until Linna and the others passed through the winding alleys and came to the bright and sunny Spider's End Alley, but the population was particularly sparse, and they stopped for a while.

Spider's End was a quiet place, and the tall mill chimney rose in the sky like a gigantic finger raised in warning.Linna, Harry, and Draco walked through the broken windows nailed with wooden boards, stepped on the uneven but smooth cobblestone road, and came to the last house. It says No. 19 Spider's End Lane.

"Godfather, will he be at home?" Draco asked a little nervously.

Lina didn't answer, her eyes glanced at a room with closed windows downstairs, where dim light was faintly peeking through the cracks in the heavy curtains.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door directly.

They stood outside the door and waited together. The winter wind mixed with the smell of the nearby sewage river made the three of them frown. The environment around here is really bad enough.

After a while, footsteps were heard from behind the door, and then the door was opened a thin crack. A man in a black robe looked down at them. His long black hair hung on both sides like curtains. Because of being often in a closed space, the grayish-yellow face and the pair of black eyes are particularly dull.

"Draco...and Potter!?" Severus Snape opened the door wider as he spoke, and he looked at the trio who appeared here in disbelief.

"Teach... Godfather." Draco whispered nervously to Snape.

"What's going on?" Snape frowned.

"Goodbye." People have been sent, and the escort mission of Linna and Harry is over.

With that said, she turned around and pulled Harry to leave.

However, it is obvious that it is easy to come and difficult to go.

Snape walked out the door, blocking Lena and Harry's path.

"Well, well, I think I should know the ins and outs of the matter?" Snape said, his thin lips twisted into a slightly sarcastic smile.

Well, if the Lord Snake King, who hated Gryffindor and Potter so deeply, showed any kindness towards Harry and Lena, Merlin would probably be able to crawl out of the coffin.

"Godfather, can we go in and talk?" Draco was always very well-behaved when facing Snape.

"Of course." He took a step back, his dark eyes were fixed on the cold Linna.

Frowning slightly, Linna obviously didn't want to stay here for a while, and she promised Mrs. Blank that she would hurry back for dinner.

"Go home," she said.

"Malfoy, explain to the professor, my sister and I have to go back for the holidays." Harry explained.

"Why so urgent?" Draco asked puzzled.

"Dinner." Lina said with a frown.

"..." Draco was silent, his young heart was a little frustrated, could it be that in Lena Potter's heart, staying with him for a while was not enough time to go back for dinner? ?

"Once a year at Christmas, my sister agreed to Mrs. Blank, and the family will get together for dinner." Harry could tell at a glance that Draco cared about Linna's words and deeds, so it was inevitable that this guy would continue to show his pitiful appearance With a tangled expression, he kindly explained it again.

"It won't take too much time for you to explain," Snape said flatly.

"But..." Harry wanted to continue, but Snape quickly cut him off. "Potter, I will personally take you back later, and I will definitely not let you miss dinner."

"..." Harry shut up, he always felt that Snape's words sounded a bit awkward.

Linna didn't speak, but judging by her appearance, she seemed to have compromised.

"It's settled." She said softly when she entered the room.

Looking back, Snape obviously didn't understand the meaning of Linna's words.

"Godfather, what she means is that they must be sent back before dinner." Draco understood this sentence, so he explained it to Snape.

After listening to his godson's explanation, Snape fell silent.

Why did the lively and beautiful Lily and that damn Potter produce such a taciturn person?Is this what the Muggles call a genetic mutation?

They followed Snape into a small living room that felt like a dark prison cell for mentally ill people with self-harm tendencies.The walls were lined with books, most of them in old black or brown leather covers, and a candle-lit lamp hung from the ceiling, casting a dim halo of light in which they were crowded together. A scuffed sofa, an old armchair and a rickety table.

This place has always given people a desolate and deserted atmosphere, and it seems that no one lives at all.

Snape signaled Lina and the others to sit on the sofa, while he sat on the old armchair opposite.

"Okay, so let's talk about what happened? Draco, I remember that you should spend Christmas with Lucius and Narcissa in the manor."

"...I received an anonymous gift, and after I opened it, I was sent to the orphanage where Potter and the others stayed by a beam of light." Draco said softly.

Narrowing his eyes, Snape asked lazily, "Then?"

"Then, Lena Potter said to send me to your side." Draco continued.

After hearing Draco's words, a gleam of light flashed in Snape's dark eyes. "What is that gift?" Obviously, he only focused on one.

"I don't know, I was taken away by that white light before I saw it clearly." Draco shook his head, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Space transfer." Linna said lightly.

"Well, our Miss Potter, do you want to say that the other party used a magic circle for space transfer?" Snape pulled the corners of his lips, and said in a slippery tone: "It seems that Mrs. Irma Pince is very interested in the library. The management is not as perfect as imagined, and even the first-year freshmen can read books they shouldn't read."

Not listening to Snape's words at all, Lena suddenly sneered and said, "Stupid."

As soon as the two words came out, Snape's face darkened, and Draco and Harry quickly turned their heads away.

Woohoo, the Snake King is angry! !

"Miss Potter, it seems that you don't even know the basics of respecting teachers." Snape gritted his teeth and looked at Linna.

Lifting her chin, Linna gave him a haughty look, and continued to speak outrageous words. "idiot."

With the wand out of his hand, Snape narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Miss Potter, you are a little presumptuous."

Seeing that Snape showed his wand, Harry and Draco quickly stood up from the sofa.

"Godfather, cold... calm down." Draco tugged on Snape's robe, his pale face turned paler.

"Professor, you... are cold... calm down, my sister didn't mean to offend you." Harry hurriedly explained to Snape.

"Dimension transfer..." Lena said these four words softly, ignoring Snape's expression that he was no better than constipation at the moment.Then a white light enveloped her and Harry, and they disappeared in the white light under the astonished eyes of Snape and Draco.

When Harry came back to his senses, he found that he and Lena had returned to the courtyard of the orphanage, and at this moment... Lena's face was as pale as paper.

This body's magic power needs to be used flexibly, it seems a bit early, uh... After going back to school, it seems that I have to explain to Snape and Malfoy... It's so troublesome...

Thinking of this, Linna fainted amidst Harry's screams.
