Chapter 1052 (1/2)
”Pettigrew, he's not dead yet?”
Although van Lim is not very cold about the Ministry's actions, the word Peter Pettigrew him a little.
That's the guy he took back with a lot of effort, and then he was locked up in Azkaban. Even though Bellatrix and others escaped from prison on a large scale, Peter Pettigrew did not leave Azkaban. Van Lin once thought that Voldemort had completely abandoned his servant, but this time
”Oh, yes.” The Auror hesitated for a moment. ”Sirius Black told us not to let him die, but now it seems that this is a wrong decision.”
”It was really a wrong decision.” Van Lin shook his head. He couldn't grasp Sirius' thoughts.
Maybe it's because old friends of the past died one by one. Sirius thinks Peter Pettigrew can stay in Azkaban honestly and hungry.
Or let him live in pain?
In any case, life in Azkaban is not as good as death, but as death eaters leave, it's still not good there.
At the same time
On a dirty river far from London, it was overgrown with weeds and rubbish.
There stood a huge chimney, dark and terrifying, the remains of an abandoned mill.
There was no sound, only the rustling sound of the black river, and a bony fox sneaked out and rummaged hopefully through the tall weeds for old packages of fried fish and potato chips.
Apart from that, there is no sign of living life here. Suddenly, there was a faint burst of sound from the river, and a slim man in a hood came out of the thin air.
The fox froze for a moment and watched the unusual scene with vigilance. The man seemed to find his way for a moment, and then he came with a brisk step, his long cloak rustling over the weeds.
Then there was another blast, and another man in a hood appeared.
”Wait for me!” The fox, huddled in the weeds, seemed to be frightened by the shrill cry. It suddenly jumped up from its hiding place and ran upstream.
At this time, a flash of green light, and then a scream, the fox fell to the ground dead. The second man went up and turned the fox over with his toes.
”It's just a fox,” a disdainful voice came from under the hood. ”I thought it was an Auror - sissy, wait for me!” The man she was after had just looked back at the flash, and went on hastily towards the shore. ”Sissy -- Narcissa -- listen to me --” the second woman grabbed the arm of the woman in front of her, but she immediately broke free.
”You go back, Bella!”
”You must listen to me!”
”I've heard that. I've made a decision. Don't bother me any more! ”
Narcissa had climbed to the shore, where old barriers separated the river from a narrow cobblestone road. Bella followed immediately. They stood side by side by the side of the road, looking at the rows of dilapidated brick houses opposite, whose windows were dim and hidden in the dark.
”He lives here?” Asked Bellatrix scornfully. ”Here? In this Muggle dunghill? We must have been the first of our kind to set foot in - ”
but Narcissa didn't listen to her at all; she had made a hole in the rusty fence and was in a hurry to cross the road.
”Sissy, wait!” Bella as like as two peas, and the robe was slightly behind her. She saw that she had passed through a lane between a house and turned into another almost identical alley.
Some of the streetlights were broken; two women were running in the mottled light and darkness. Bella finally catches up with Narcissa after turning another corner. This time, she successfully grabs Narcissa's arm and pulls her over.
”Sissy, you can't do this, you can't trust him -”
”the Dark Lord trusted him, didn't you?”
”The Dark Lord I believe that It's a mistake, ”Bela gasped, her eyes flashing under her hood as she saw no one around.
”Under no circumstances can we tell anyone about this plan. This is a betrayal of the Dark Lord - ”
” let me go, Bella! ” Narcissa growled, drew a wand from under her cloak and pointed menacingly at the other man's face.
But Bella just smiles.
”Sissy, point to your own sister? You won't - ”
” nothing I dare not do again! ” Narcissa took a breath. Her voice was hysterical. She swung her wand like a knife. There was another flash. Bella released her sister's hand like a scald.
”Narcissa!” But Narcissa had rushed forward. Bella rubbed her hands behind her, keeping a little distance this time, and they went deeper and deeper into the maze of brick houses.At last Narcissa reached a path called spider tail lane, from which the chimney of the mill rose like a giant shaking his warning fingers. Her footsteps echoed on the cobblestone road, and after passing through many boarded or broken windows, she finally reached the last room, and a dim light came through the curtains of the room below.
This makes Narcissa feel a little uneasy. In fact, she doesn't know whether this choice is right or not, but Lucius And the Dark Lord
She knocked on the door, and Bella came up from behind, cursing. They stood outside the door together, panting slightly, smelling the breath of the night wind coming from the river.
A few seconds later, they heard a movement behind the door, and the door opened with a click. A slender man, with long black hair and a waxy face with black eyes, was staring at them. Narcissa turned her hood back. Her face looked so pale that it shone a little in the dark; her blonde hair ran down her back and looked like a drowning man.
