Chapter 99 Mutation
Chapter 99 Mutation
As night approached, Nancy put the prepared dinners on the cooking table one by one.She suddenly felt that it would be fine if it had been like this all the time.Undisturbed and quiet.
Draco walked into the kitchen, where he had just gone to tune the radio.
"Have you heard anything useful?" Nancy asked him.
Draco shook his head, "It was peaceful, like nothing happened."
Nancy was silent for a moment, "That means it's not bad." She pushed the dinner plate in front of Draco.It has meatballs, stew and boiled broccoli and carrots.Served with corn tortillas and scotch soup.Cooked with barley, lentils and lamb.The aroma is overflowing.
"Maybe..." Draco sighed, not thinking about dinner.
"Are you worried about your parents?" Nancy asked, looking at him.
"Can you not worry? Worry all the time. Sometimes I really feel selfish..." Draco said dejectedly.
"But if it wasn't for your father's betrayal of the Order of the Phoenix..." Nancy couldn't help but said, she was still bitter about Lucius.
"Whether he betrayed me or not, he still has to flee with you in the end! It doesn't change anything. Why didn't you say that Professor Snape killed Dumbledore that really changed the situation?" Draco was already worried and worried, listening When Nancy blamed his father, she couldn't help herself.
Nancy pursed her lips tightly.
Draco realized that his tone seemed unkind. "Sorry...I didn't mean to...I'm just annoyed..."
Nancy lowered her head and pierced a ball with a fork, "Draco, I never asked you to run away with me. I planned to find..."
"Stop talking about Nancy. I won't mention it anymore. Neither should you. It was my fault just now!" Draco interrupted her with infinite annoyance.
The two lost each other's appetite because of this unpleasant episode.
The more Nancy thought about it, the more wronged she became.She didn't ask him to come to her.It is his own will.But he still blamed it on her when he thought about his parents' safety.If his parents had any misfortune, wouldn't the culprit be her?
Thinking of this, tears began to drip down.All kinds of grievances accumulated in the past two days also rushed up.
Draco sighed, put down the fork, stood up and walked to her side, "Don't cry, it's all my fault." He held her face in his hands and took a tissue to wipe her tears. "I shouldn't lose my temper with you because I'm in a bad mood."
Nancy shook her head, "You'd better go home! I don't want you to resent me for this in the future."
"Let's not talk about this topic anymore, really." Draco looked out the window and sighed deeply.
"Or you go back and have a look... because you are not at ease now..." Nancy made another suggestion.
Draco shook his head, "If something happens to you because I've been away from you, I won't forgive myself."
"Do you think Voldemort will come and catch me himself?" Nancy smiled.
Draco shivered slightly, "Don't mention his name!"
"It's just a name..." Nancy looked at him and said, "Well, if you don't want to listen to me, you won't..."
A loud bang cut her off.Then there was another boom.There was a roar as if someone had smashed the wall with a giant hammer.
"Where are they?"
"Don't let them run away!"
Chaotic footsteps mixed with vicious voices rushed from the living room.Three men in hoods approached suddenly.Nancy and Draco were too startled by the sudden turn of events to react.Draco really didn't understand how the safehouse had been hacked all of a sudden.His first reaction was to give up resistance and Disapparate with Nancy.
The darkness engulfed them in an instant, and it was still the feeling of being bound by a tube.Draco felt Nancy's hand slipping from his.No!he cried out in fear.But no sound came out.He immediately disapparated.The huge suction seemed to tear him apart.He couldn't breathe and passed out.
When he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Nancy calling his name anxiously.She knelt beside him with tears all over her face.He blinked and reached out to touch her face. "You're still here...that's great..." He said with difficulty, struggling to get up.
It was dark all around, and they could be seen on the edge of a pebble river beach. "Where is this?" He asked looking at the slow-moving stream and the big moon hanging in the sky.
Nancy shook her head. "If you don't know, I don't know. What were you thinking when you Apparated?" She helped him to throw away the sticky grass roots from his body.
"I was thinking of Bethan Road, where I used to eat a very good restaurant. Suddenly I thought of that..." Draco said slowly, looking around.
"Then why are we here?" Nan hoped to ask uneasily, looking at the dark shadow not far away.
"Because during the apparition I suddenly found that I couldn't grab you, so I disconnected halfway. I think, in the split second, it left us here." Draco flipped out of his bag. After waiting for a long time, he took out a map.Nancy only noticed that he was carrying a very small vertical rectangular satchel.
"Let me see..." Draco still looked exhausted.Trembling, he shook the map away.Nancy quickly used her wand to emit light to illuminate him.Then he traced the map with his wand and whispered a spell Nancy had never heard before.A thin golden line emerged from the tip of the wand, meandering across the map, and finally drew a small circle in one place.
"Not bad..." Draco smiled weakly. "It's remote." He helped Nancy's arm to stand up. "It seems that the side effects of suddenly disconnecting the apparition are quite serious, and all my strength is drained."
"What are you going to do? Let me do it." Nancy said quickly.
"You can't do it, a man's job." Draco smiled, took a breath, took out a big ball from his bag, threw it on the ground, poked a leather buckle on it with his wand, whoosh With a bang, a small tent appeared.Draco used his wand again to direct the mace to secure the tent.
Then he began waving his wand around the tent, casting one spell after another.The spell slowly surrounded the place like a silent air wave.
Nancy watched all this dumbfounded.It wasn't until Draco pulled her into the tent that she recovered and asked, "Where did you get these things?"
"My mum got it for me, she said there was a satchel in the safe house and she modified it with a no-mark stretching spell to fit a lot of necessities in it. She said she didn't know if we'd use it, but hopefully not Until the day I use it. I remembered it this morning, and I have been carrying it on my back. I think, if something happens, I don’t have time to carry it on my back.” Draco forced a smile on his face .Then I couldn't hold it anymore and fell down on the sofa.
"Are you okay?" Nancy looked at him worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm just tired, just take a rest." Draco closed his eyes and said.
Nancy stood by his side, looking around the tent by the way.It's not a big magic tent, except for a sofa, there is only one camp bed left.and a stand-up bathroom surrounded by frosted glass.
The sound of gurgling water and insects outside the tent can still be heard.Nancy sat on her knees on the ground, feeling at a loss in her heart.After a long time, so long that she thought that Draco was going to sleep like this, and he would wake up tomorrow, Draco opened his eyes.
He sat up, continued to rummage through his backpack, took out a watch, put it on his wrist, and glanced at it. "It's ten o'clock, are you hungry? You don't even have time to eat..."
Nancy shook her head.
"I'm not hungry either," Draco said.He looked inside the tent. "It's too late, you go to bed first, I'll watch the night."
"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch. I'm not sleepy at all." Nancy said quickly.
"I don't worry about you, don't lose yourself by keeping watch at night. I will go crazy when I wake up and find you gone." Draco smiled and patted her head. "It's okay, I'll sleep in the daytime, and you will watch over me." After speaking, he pulled Nancy up and pushed her down on the bed without any rejection. "You may need to wash up, I'll go out first."
He picked up a blanket and directed an armchair out of the tent with his wand.
Nancy got up quickly and walked to the bathroom.It's not big here, just a sink, a toilet and a small bathtub.Bath towels are neatly stacked on the wall shelf.Toiletries are also available.
When Nancy came out wrapped in a towel, Draco happened to walk into the tent.He froze for a moment and quickly turned his back to her.But I felt that my reaction was too poor and wanted to turn around, "You..."
"Draco, there's no change of clothes." Nancy was amused to see him like this, and she sat on the sofa with her head on her side and wiped her hair with another large towel.
Draco hurriedly lowered his head to look through his backpack, he frantically searched for a while before finding it, "Here it is!" He took out a nightdress, T-shirt, jeans, coat, and shoes and threw them on the sofa, "I'll go out first .” After speaking, he left the tent without looking back.
Draco stepped outside the tent and took a deep breath.The cool night breeze took away some of his heat, and he felt much better.He felt that this escape was a test of his humanity.
After a while, he felt that he should finish changing and walked back to the tent.Nancy was frowning at herself in a full-length mirror.Fat and long gray half-sleeved nightdress. "Are you sure this is prepared by your mother?"
"I think it's fine." Draco breathed a sigh of relief.Of course there are other things in the backpack, but he will never take it out to test himself.
"Okay!" Nancy went to the camp bed and lay down on it, covering her with the quilt. "Good night, Draco." She closed her eyes.
Draco approached her uncontrollably, leaned down, and kissed her forehead, "Good night...Nancy." He tucked her in and walked out of the tent.
