Chapter 157 The cat came from there
"The last thing is the security of the house," DeWitt said after leaving the Zabini family's manor: "I saw a spell, the Fidelity Charm - hiding a place as a secret deep into a person's soul, allowing him to Become the secret keeper, and only the secret keeper can reveal the secret until the secret keeper dies."
"Let me be the secret keeper?" Ms. Feier asked: "I can swear an oath not to betray."
"No, you can, but it is not necessary, let the vampire in the basement be the secret keeper," DeWitt said: "He has completely lost his freedom, and he will not die, but he will gain a free hand in the future and be After I controlled my mind, I used the slip of paper to write down my home address and only gave it to guests who could get the invitation."
"Will it be unsafe?"
"If you're not going to hand out addressed notes everywhere like flyers, I can't see a flaw in this approach."
After returning, Ms. Feier got to work with DeWitt's help.
The first is to select the range. You must make it clear in your mind which place needs to be hidden with magic. Then, you need to chant a spell with the secret keeper - DeWitt will partially separate the vampire from the magma rock. Just as planned, the final result will look like It looked like a pale and withered hand growing out of the stone. He witnessed Ms. Feier completing the entire Loyalty Charm and saw clearly the effect of the spell.
"Do you know the effect of this spell?" DeWitt asked.
"How?" Ms. Feier asked in confusion: "Isn't it just hiding a location in..."
“It wasn’t like what it said in the book,” DeWitt said. “I saw that the whole house had separated itself from its surroundings, declared its independence, and had begun to take on a unique brilliance.”
That is the radiance of the soul. When the secret keeper reveals the secret, the information recording the address becomes a logo - a logo that surges in the ocean of memory.When someone who knows the secret approaches, the magic of the Loyalty Spell will recognize this mark, and the door to the secret location will open.
"It worked," Ms. Feier said, standing in the unchanged living room. "That's it."
The house is completely concealed enough to bring a sense of calming reassurance.
During the rest of the holiday, except for Ms. Feier's occasional trips away from home, DeWitt's activities were limited to the house. He gave Ms. Feier the medicine he had made and asked Ms. Feier to put the new The product was promoted, and according to Ms. Fierre, it was well-received as soon as it was released. Some pure-blood families also followed the golden galleons and wanted to join the cooperation, but they were all reassured by Mrs. Zabini. Living.
"I control Mrs. Zabini, and Mrs. Zabini contacts other people." Ms. Feier said to DeWitt, who was reading the letter: "I do what you said, gradually reducing my appearance, but making everyone aware. There is my shadow behind all this.”
DeWitt made a joke: "I'm waiting for the day when the patriarchs of those pure-blood families come to you, kiss the back of your hand and call you 'godmother'."
The letter he was reading now was from Hermione, and enclosed was a postcard from France.Hermione told DeWitt in the letter that Alice had gone to find her, and her parents accepted the fact that their daughter had become friends with a ghost.
"When they realized I was a witch, they thought it would happen sooner or later." Hermione wrote this sentence with a beaming smile.
Then DeWitt wrote a reply. He wrote dryly "I am fine", and then "Mother is fine". He thought - since Hermione mentioned Alice, he had to mention someone too. Finally, he wrote "a2 is also good". What was puzzling was that after this letter was sent, Hermione didn't reply until a week before the start of school.
The letter said nothing about the rest of the topic, but simply invited DeWitt to go shopping together in Diagon Alley.
"You're evil." This was the first thing DeWitt said when he saw Hermione in Diagon Alley.
So Hermione, who was waving happily, immediately put down her hand and asked with a sullen face: "Is this all you have to say?"
"It's the truth."
Hermione rolled her eyes at him, sighed and let go of the topic, and asked strangely: "Where is your mother?"
"She had something to do," DeWitt said, "so I came alone this time."
"Have you watched the news? Did you know that there is a wanted criminal on the loose recently?"
"I saw it on the notice board in the bar when I came here - Sirius Black."
"Be careful," Hermione said solemnly. "He's a very vicious criminal."
"It feels less... brutal than Voldemort," DeWitt said.
"When I came to Diagon Alley this time, I mainly wanted to buy a pet, because my birthday is coming soon..." Hermione didn't look at DeWitt when she said this: "I want to buy an owl so that I can send letters easily. .”
But when she finally arrived at the pet store, Hermione caught her eye at an ugly cat with a sallow face and a flat face.
The ugly cat lay silently on the top of the pet store, but ignored Hermione. Instead, he walked directly in front of DeWitt and said, "Touch me."
Toads in the pet shop are eating flies, owls are competing to see who can sleep soundly, and a cage of ravens is shouting that they are the bringers of doom.The stench of animals had a unique fishy smell, and even a nest of mice was playing games and noisily, but now a cat ordered DeWitt to pet it.
But animals talking is not a strange thing for DeWitt.
"You are too ugly, but I don't care much about your appearance," DeWitt said. "It's just that you don't please me and want me to follow your hair, which makes it difficult for me to handle."
"What a shame," Ugly Cat cursed, "Do you understand the value of being a cat-nives hybrid?"
"What did it say?" Hermione asked DeWitt quietly.
DeWitt told Hermione about the cat's ancestry.
"Then this is it!" said Hermione. "I think it will suit me."
The ugly cat scolded again: "What a common girl... her messy hair is longer than a lion's mane, except for her normal face..."
DeWitt told Hermione truthfully what the cat said, but Hermione liked it even more. She rubbed the ugly cat's fur and said, "So it can understand what I say? That's pretty cute, right? I've decided." ”
Yes, animals can often understand human words, but humans always cannot understand the voices of animals. Perhaps it is because humans only use their ears to listen to the sounds of animals and do not use their hearts to communicate.
The ugly cat muttered: "Not bad, good, discerning..."
Hermione handed over the money and left the pet store with the cat in her arms.
After giving the cat Crookshanks' name, it stopped barking and was no longer weird, and lay quietly in Hermione's arms. This made Hermione ask DeWitt many times: "It What did you say again?"
DeWitt told her, "Say nothing."
But Crookshanks has actually been talking. He seems to be snoring and taking a nap, but in fact he is squinting at every passerby on the street in Diagon Alley - the pets around him.
"This one gets 0 points, this one gets 5 points... Hey, this female cat is pretty, I'll give you 9 points... Forget it, I won't give you x0 points..."
What an abstract evil cat, DeWitt thought, a little too real.
