"Mrs. Parkinson ... I'm sorry, because the situation in the Department of Mystery was quite confusing at the time, I didn't remember exactly who was going to ..."
Nott looked at Vanessa opposite the coffee table, with an expression of hard thinking. But then, but he saw a slight change in his expression, and a bit of a deliberate greedy smile soon appeared in the original meditation.
"Oh! Madam, I think ... In order for me to remember as soon as possible, I may need a little bit of" stimulus "or something."
As for this kind of rhetoric for gaining benefits, Vanessa, as a person who has been involved in pure blood communication from a young age, is no longer familiar with it.
Yes, some people may be more euphemistic, while others may be more straightforward and even almost extortion. But it must be said that interest is always the object that people are chasing.
"Of course, the right stimulus helps to think."
Vanessa's heart was scornful, but on the surface she remained calm and even smiled lightly. Then she saw that she took out several shiny Jin Jialongs from the bag she carried with her and placed them on the coffee table between them steadily.
Honestly, this gold coin is usually nothing for a long-established pure blood family. But in the face of a dying family like the Knott family, it is already a considerable accidental income.
What's more, what Vanessa wanted from Knott was just a clue to a time converter.
However, at the first sight, Knott shook his head decisively after a moment of hesitation.
"Double again."
As soon as the words fell, Vanessa couldn't help frowning-Knott really dare to mention it! Where did he come from?
But before waiting for Vanessa to say anything, she heard the opposite Notte suddenly add:
"... Mrs. Parkinson, don't worry, I'm not inflating the price. In fact, I really don't remember the situation at the time, but I can help you ask ... So, if you agree to the price, I Just go and find out for yourself if anyone has taken the time converter; if someone did, who is that person. "
As he was talking, he spread his hands and said frankly:
"But if you don't think my news is worth the price ... that's the end of the deal!"
Really still too anxious?
Vanessa is usually a person who cares about spending money. The reason why she can take out these gold gallons so happily this time is because she wants to get the time converter earlier.
After all, although she miscalculated the speed at which Maca returned to London, she knew she couldn't leave the house for too long.
And she was so anxious that she seemed to be noticed by Knott?
Seeing that the other party apparently caught her eagerness, Vanessa had to frown and nodded—no way, she couldn't think of anyone else who would have such a rare object as a "time converter".
"Okay! Just as you said, double it again!"
"Oh, generous Mrs. Parkinson," Knot said immediately, happily, "Trust me, you won't regret this decision ..."
At this point, he suddenly stood up and yelled at Vanessa:
"Then, please have some tea here and some snacks ... I'll help you find someone."
Just then, Mr. Knott's daughter, the scary little girl, Joey, just came to the coffee table with a pot of black tea and a little cheap cookies, and put the tray on Vanessa's hand.
"Joy, you're here with Mrs. Parkinson, and Dad will be back soon."
The little girl looked at her father a little hesitantly, and eventually stood on the side in silence, even if she was with her.
After Denotte's departure, Vanessa looked at the girl who was a little overwhelmed, and waved impatiently:
"If you're willing to stay here, sit down; if you don't want to, don't stick here and find somewhere to play for yourself!"
...
At first, he went to the Death Eaters of the Department of Mystery Affairs with him, in fact, Knott remembered it well.
Not only that, he even knew who the "former Death Eater" who most likely stole the time converter in the Time Hall.
However, just in front of Vanessa, he just pretended not to remember.
Obviously, he wasn't for the "doubled" intelligence fee-his greedy expression at that time was simply used to mislead Vanessa.
It must be said that Nott's luck is indeed a bit worse. He followed Voldemort twice in more than ten years, and all of them did not lose the slightest benefit.
However, that does not mean that he is a fool.
In Knott's view, what had previously made Vanessa so eager to get the time converter must be a very valuable transaction. And if he is the one who knows the clue of time converter, then why give it to Vanessa?
A moment later, Knott hurriedly appeared at the door of his "old friend".
"Tuk Tuk Tuk."
With a knock on the door, the door in front of him opened, and an elderly house elf emerged from behind the door.
"This guest, please ... Oh, is it Master Knott?"
"Well," Nodden nodded, asking indifferently, "Is Walton at home? I'm asking him something."
This is the mansion of the McNeill family.
Jomo was more than ten years ago, Knott often came here as a guest, and the "Walton" in his mouth was exactly his classmate and friend.
Speaking of which, he and Walton decided to follow Voldemort at the time.
But after that, Walton, who had better academic performance than Knott, was sent by Voldemort to the Ministry of Magic; while Knott, who had a higher level of duel, stayed under Voldemort's hands to do things.
However, at the time, neither of them had thought that Voldemort had fallen so suddenly-Walton, lurking in the Ministry of Magic, had not been able to play its role, and the power of the Dark Demon had collapsed instantly.
In the end, Nott was in the process of being caught by Auror, and was sent to Azkaban along with most other Death Eaters.
However, Walton was very secretive because of the hidden mission of the Ministry of Magic. Even Karkalov did not have his name on the whistleblower list that year, so he escaped the disaster very smoothly.
But in Knott's mind, Walton owed him once.
After all, if he offered his friend at the trial and the seriousness of the undercover Ministry of Magic at the time, he would surely get a considerable sentence reduction.
However, because of his deep friendship with Walton, Nottham used an oblivion spell on himself when he was arrested, and stiffly passed the trial of the Ministry of Magic using vomiting agents. So much so that after leaving Azkaban, he couldn't immediately remember his close friend, and it wasn't until his neighbor mentioned Walton that he knew he had a former friend.
As Knott secretly remembered, the house-elves inside the door quickly gave way, respectfully saying:
"Master Walton just came back yesterday. It should be in the study now ... you should remember, the one on the third floor that was used by the young master."
"Got it."
Knott nodded slightly, then spread his legs and walked through the front hall to the side stairs.
In fact, he doesn't remember what "Master's Study". That oblivious spell had a strong effect that year, and he only learned something about Walton from his neighbors, and inferred from the situation after Voldemort's rise again.
Fortunately, although there are many rooms in McNeil's house, there is only one room with a closed door on the third floor.
"Who?"
As soon as Knott knocked on the door, he heard a voice that was only a little familiar to him.
"It's me," he yelled, "Oston."
"what?"
The next moment, I heard only a rush of footsteps in the study, and the door was opened by the other side.
"Oh! Why did you think of seeing me?"
"Because you haven't come to see me ..." Knott looked at the strange friend in front of him, deliberately, "So I had to come to you, didn't I?"
"Ah," Walton said, seemingly resentful, and quickly took his arm to walk inside, explaining as he walked. "You can't blame me ... I said brother, you know, after that we can It's already a good luck to get away! Seriously, I really want to see you, but I worry that it will get you Auror's attention instead. "
"Okay," Nott patted Walton's arm after he heard it. "I'm just kidding-I know you've been watched by Auror since then, definitely not Easy to run around. "
"Ugh--"
Walton nodded and sighed:
"It's not easy! Who knows that after Voldemort's resurgence ~ EbookFREE.me ~, he lost more than ten years ago?"
While talking, he enthusiastically greeted Knott to sit down on the sofa on the side of the study, and then he sat beside him very casually.
"Well, don't talk about those boring things ... Anyway, now it's over, and I'm determined not to get involved in those messy fights again. No, I will sneak back home when something happens in London ! "
After a short meal, Walton turned again:
"By the way, Oston, is there anything wrong with you coming back to me? I remember, you seem to have been at home all this time. Why did you suddenly come to me today?"
"The main thing is to tell you the old ones," Knott smiled. "You know, I just stayed at home all day, so boring ..."
But then, he shook his head slightly, and Knott sighed:
"But there is such a trivial matter to say."
