Chapter 230: The Forests of Albania
By the time Evan came out of the alley, there was no sign of the girl.
Diagon Lane's main thoroughfare is full of reveling crowds, cheering, celebrating, drinking hot butterbeer, dancing along the street to the accompaniment of Christmas music, and the atmosphere reaches a climax with the sound of bustling noise and laughter.
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Ai Wen was in a trance.
He thought of the mysterious vampire girl named Elaine, and he felt as if he had entered an unreal dream. His mind kept thinking back to what the other had just said, the mysterious vampire, the forgotten descendants of House Slytherin, the arrangement of fate, and the prophecy full of danger
Evan took a deep breath, not knowing what fate awaited him.
When he returned to the Leaky Cauldron, not far from the bustling Diagon Alley, the silent and eerie Tumbledown Alley was a different picture.
In the white, cold moonlight, not a single person could be seen in the dim, dirty alleys, and the dilapidated shops lining the streets were all black.
These are all dark magic shops, and the windows are eeriely displayed with shrunken human heads, dead mannails, and the like, which look creepy.
On the corner, in front of a shop selling poison candles, hangs an old wooden street sign with a few black letters crookedly carved on it, telling people that this is Tumbledown Alley.
Across the two storefronts, in front of the door of one store, there is a large cage, which is crawling with huge black spiders and making strange sounds.
Everything here seems unpleasant and has nothing to do with Christmas.
Near the entrance to the street, in a dark doorway, a ragged old witch sneakily hid.
Her withered yellow eyes shone with a vicious light, staring at the street outside with no suspicious kindness, green moss growing on her mutilated teeth.
She smiled grimly and spotted a rare prey.
Not far in front of her, a little girl in a wide black robe, with delicate facial features and extremely handsome appearance, was hurrying into Tumbledown Alley.
From time to time, she looked up, as if she didn't know what it was.
The old witch licked her teeth, and it seemed to her that the girl was like a poor kitten who had strayed into Tumbledown Alley after getting lost, a good prey.
She grinned even more happily and saw what she had encountered: a nice Christmas present, and her corpse would be the perfect collector's item.
Elaine gasped, unaware that someone was watching her in the dark, and she ran as hard as she could to get to where no one was.
She felt her uncle's breath getting closer and closer, he found himself, and he couldn't let him know that he had told the family's prophecy, and most importantly, he couldn't let him know about Aven, otherwise
Just as Elaine pondered what to do, a voice suddenly came to her ear that startled her.
"Aren't you lost, darling?"
She saw an old witch standing in front of her, looking greedily at her.
Elaine took a step back, and before she could speak, a long, narrow, sharp red magic shot out in the shape of a triangle.
Like a blood-red arrow, it pierced the body of the old witch in front of her.
The old witch had a long wound on her body, and strangely enough, there was not a trace of blood coming out of the magic wound on her body.
She screamed loudly, the expression on her face twisted together in pain.
Elaine looked up in surprise as she passed the witch as she turned to flee, and she saw a tumbling of air from the bottom to the top of the air not far away, like a small tornado.
A middle-aged man wearing a black wizard's robe with a grim face suddenly appeared from the vortex of air.
"Uncle," she called weakly.
"Elaine, you're so disagreeable this time, while I'm not there, you actually ran away from home and ran to the wizard's street alone, you don't want to think about the consequences, if someone finds out your identity, what should you do?!" the middle-aged man said reproachfully, and walked straight over.
"I want to help too!" Elaine replied in a low voice, "I also want to help the family find the person mentioned in the prophecy as soon as possible, this time"
"This matter is already in sight, I went out this time to verify the news, someone recently saw him in the forests of Albania. ”
"The forests of Albania?!" Elaine wondered, "who would be in that kind of place? The wizard you mentioned earlier, the guy called Voldemort?"
"That's right, it's him, he's Salazar's only descendant among wizards. The middle-aged man sighed, and at the mention of Voldemort, the expression on his face became even more gloomy.
"But," Elaine hesitated, and continued, "is it possible that it wasn't him? I mean, maybe we were mistaken, the prophecy said that the person who could help us was not Voldemort, but someone else."
She remembered Aven, who had a Slytherin locket on him, and who also met the conditions of that prophecy, and Elaine believed that it was fate that she had met Aven.
"I wish it wasn't him, too. The middle-aged man mused, "No matter how you look at it, working with the most evil dark wizard of all time is an extremely stupid thing. If we do so, we are probably killing ourselves, and he may not be willing to help us. But Voldemort is the only candidate at the moment, and I just hope he can do it for Slytherin's sake."
"Uncle, I found one this time" Hearing the phrase that Voldemort was the only candidate, Elaine hurriedly explained that she wanted to tell the other party about Aven.
However, she immediately hesitated again, although Evan met the conditions of the prophecy, his strength was too weak, too weak to even defeat herself.
In Elaine's opinion, letting Evan enter that place was completely looking for death.
"Found what?!" the middle-aged man looked at Elaine strangely.
"No, nothing, I found that the wizards' streets are so lively, much more interesting than at home, I want to go to Hogwarts, I received an acceptance letter last year, why don't you let me go!" Elaine said with a slurred voice.
She decided to keep Aven's affairs a secret, and found an opportunity to find him at Hogwarts and make him a vampire at first.
In this case, Aven's strength should increase.
"Hogwarts?!" the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and resolutely refused, "I've said it many times, this matter is not negotiable, our identity is a taboo in the outside world, if you let other wizards know, they will definitely kill you." ”
"But," Elaine argued, and Evan didn't look surprised when he first learned she was a vampire.
"It's nothing, don't run around lately, and practice the magic I taught you at home!" he walked over and grabbed Elaine, "We must be ready to go to the Albanian forests to find Voldemort and try to make contact with him." No matter what the future holds, this is a fate that the family will not escape. ”
There was a slight thud, and the two apparitions shifted, and they vanished, and silence returned to the desolate streets of Tumbledown Alley. (To be continued.) )
