In Hogwarts, after the afternoon class, Pency hurried to meet Emily in the hall on the first floor, where the stone walls were surrounded by burning torches and the ceiling was so high that the top could not be seen. At this moment, Sweet Bear was standing at the door, receiving the snacks that Gore had bought from Hogsmeade.
"Give me a moment, Pency." Emily waved at Pency. "Gregory, how much is it?"
"My treat …" Gore habitually refused, but he habitually backed down under Emily's gaze. "One gold coin, ten silver coins."
"Here, here's two gold coins. Keep the change, Garen ~" Emily put the sugar-feathered writing brush and the snacks separately into her waist pouch. Then, she fished out the coins with both hands and placed them in Gore's hands. "Let's go, Pansy ~"
Emily and Pency had just turned around when Hermione, who was walking towards them, greeted them. Miss Know-It-All's eyes were bloodshot, her hair was messy, and her face was pale. She looked a little tired. Before Emily and the others could respond, she forced a smile and walked past them.
Pency and Emily looked at each other and continued to climb the luxurious marble stairs.
"Miss Know-It-All doesn't look well." Pency touched her hair. She was originally very nervous about the mission, but she felt that her condition was still better than Hermione's.
"Ever since she was attacked by the demon Bair at Hogsmeade, she's been a little impatient. She's too anxious to improve her strength." Emily's voice was a little serious. She muttered with some dissatisfaction, "I also need to train for half an hour at night …"
On the eighth floor, there was no one else in the corridor except for Emily and the others. Opposite the tapestry of the monster hitting Barnabas, Pency and Emily concentrated on thinking of a place where they could hide things. A very smooth door appeared on the wall, and the two entered the Everything Room.
"The blood-stained axe sold for a lot of money last time." Emily tilted her head and looked at the dazzling array of strange things on the shelves. She began her treasure hunting journey. She picked and chose things that she thought would be easy to sell and put them into her small waist pouch.
Pency walked to her vanishing cabinet and tried to repair the crack with her wand. She did not stop talking. "Emily, Allen's announcement … I know that a few wizards from pure-blood families have received letters from their families asking them to create some trouble for Professor Harris's ancient magic class. How about … we don't sell things for now? Unlike before, those people are really looking for trouble with your family. "
"Since we're already here, let's choose something first. We'll do it when we're done." Emily narrowed her eyes with her back facing Pency, which made her look a little gloomy. Emily stood up and put away her small waist pouch. She walked to Pency's side and saw Pency poking at the vanishing cabinet. She looked at the patterns on the cabinet. "Pency, who are you trying to bring into the school with this vanishing cabinet?"
Pency's body stiffened at Emily's words. She did not look at Emily and said softly, "I promise it has nothing to do with Family Harris. If it works, it might be a good thing for Allen …"
After a while, Emily shrugged. She took out her wand and pointed at the vanishing cabinet to help Pency. The wood and potions automatically repaired the cabinet under her command. "Let me try. Open the door." (Author's Note: The spell "Open the door" was designed by the director of the movie version. Its effect is to strengthen the vanishing cabinet's magic.)
The cabinet door sprang open with a bang. Pency put her hand on the door of the vanishing cabinet, put a piece of paper inside, and closed the door again.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem It was silent in the Room of All Requests. After a short while, Pan Xi grabbed the open cabinet and took out the slip of paper. He flicked it a few times, causing the edge of the half-torn slip of paper to shake for a few times.
Seeing that Pency's mood was not as high as before, Emily put away her wand and came to Pency. She stood on her tiptoes and looked at the girl who had been exuding a sense of despair this semester. "If you're willing to tell me everything, maybe I can ask Allen to save you. You know, you're not like Gower and Crabbe. I treat you as a real friend …"
Pency looked at Emily in a daze. For a moment, her emotions were in turmoil. She had the urge to tell Emily everything, but in the end, she gave up the idea. She turned her head and said, "Thank you, Emily. The Harris family has had enough trouble recently."
"Well, you know you can find me when you need me." Emily stood on her tiptoes. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Emily, it's better if you don't get involved …" Pency shook her head and refused. Then, she said in a tone without much hope, "Unless you can help me get an invisibility cloak."
"Didn't you learn the Phantom Charm?" Emily was a little confused.
"I don't have to worry about being dispelled when I use the cloak." Pency replied dejectedly. "This year, the Ministry of Magic is very strict because of the attacks. It's basically impossible to buy one."
"Later, when we go to Black Lake, cover me for a trip back home. I'll give it to you right away." Emily agreed casually. Last semester, the Umbrella Team seized an invisibility cloak from Umrich. According to Umrich, she used it to deal with Lupin and replaced his wolfsbane potion with something useless. Now, this loot was casually left in Harris's manor.
"Oh, okay, I didn't turn it off … Huh?" Pency answered casually at first, then frowned in confusion. She was surprised and immediately turned to Emily. "You have it at home?"
"It would be strange if I don't have it at home, right?" Emily smiled sweetly at Pency. "But this invisibility cloak has been here for so long. The effect of the invisible beast's fur might have worn off. Let's see how lucky you are."
In Diagon Alley, Allen was no longer interested when he heard that it was just a female Muggle who tried to ask for help from an Aura. He let the patrolling Aura leave hurriedly along the cobblestone street.
"The enforcement of the Secret Act is not very optimistic even before I do anything. They actually let the Muggle find them …" Allen snorted and shook his head. He then turned his attention back to his cake. "Maybe they will be exposed to the Muggle without the trouble."
Just as Allen was about to get up and leave, Snape, disguised as a red-faced sorcerer, came over. He ignored Anka's hostile gaze on Allen's shoulder and went straight to the outdoor table where Allen was sitting.
"Professor Allen Harris." The red-faced sorcerer's voice was a little louder than usual, but Allen could hear him clearly.
"Hello, Mr. Rickman. Just came out of the temple?" Allen called out the sorcerer's surname and nodded. "Do you want to try the cake here? It's much better than the house elves in Hogwarts. "
Snape snorted out of habit. He was used to expressing his attitude in this way, but when he thought of the Resurrection Stone, he felt that his tone was too harsh. He forced himself to swallow the sarcasm that he had already opened his mouth. "No need, this is what you want."
Although he had changed his appearance, Snape's eyes were still cold and empty, like two dark tunnels. He took out a bag from his sleeve and cast a Traceless Stretching Spell. He put it on the table and pushed it towards Allen.
