Chapter 401 "Muggles, Werewolves and Pure Bloods"
Now there are two roads before Rookwood, one is to take the opportunity to take all the money in Anthony Weasley's vault and fly away, and the other is to obey the new king.
No one is forever loyal, and anyone facing this choice will be shaken to some extent.
Especially the environment has changed, escaped from Azkaban and gained freedom.
When he was walking on the street, he watched pedestrians hurrying, children playing and playing, and his wife handing wrapped bread to guests with a smile, wiping sweat with a handkerchief.
Everything seems to be far away from him, only this pastry shop at the corner of Diagon Alley is left in his eyes.
The customers left, and the wife was packing up the things in the shop.
Rookwood didn't rush in excitedly. He didn't know what would happen after being imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years. Maybe she had remarried.
His wife didn't owe him anything, but was implicated because he was arrested and entered the Ministry of Magic.
Rookwood wondered how his wife survived the liquidation.
It must be hard, he knows.
He met this beautiful girl when he was studying at Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Magic. After graduation, the two had a romantic wedding. His wife supported him to return to England to restore the glory of the Rookwood family, and he also entered the Ministry of Magic and became a silent man.
Everything seems to be going smoothly, a career admired by everyone, a beautiful and virtuous wife.
Until the Dark Lord named Voldemort appeared.
Pure blood supremacy, what a wonderful title, he saw an opportunity for the rise of the Rookwood family.
However, everything seemed to be different from what he had imagined, and his identity as a Death Eater could not bring him anything, except for the black robe with a huge hood and the metal mask that he dared not take off.
Rookwood stood on the street corner for a long, long time.
Until night fell, the wife began to pack things in the store, and a man in a hurry appeared at the door of the store.
"..."
Rookwood pursed his lips and watched the scene in silence.
Sighing slightly, he tightened the hood of the wizard robe, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Huh?"
I saw the man turned sideways, revealing a delicate face full of vicissitudes.
He has a straight nose, platinum blonde hair, gray-blue eyes, and pale skin that is unique to the Malfoy family.
Lucius!
"!!!"
Luke Wood's eyes turned cold. He was also a Death Eater. He had been in a cell for more than ten years, but Lucius was free and easy outside. What's more, he dared to touch his wife?
It is tolerable or unbearable!
clatter clatter ~
A series of dagger-like bear claws protruded from the end of his fingers, and he took a deep breath to calm down.
Anton's transformation of his constant animal form seems to be through emotional manipulation. When his mood is agitated, it is especially easy to complete the transformation. He needs to use more spiritual power to control this new ability.
Soon, he saw his wife bring Lucius into the house.
For a while, the lights in the windows on the second floor came on.
Just for a moment, Rookwood's wizard robe swayed, and his body burst out with infinite power, rushing towards the pastry shop at a speed far exceeding that of normal humans.
Shh~
He lifted his foot high and lightly borrowed strength from the wall, and lightly grabbed the outer eaves of the window with two fingers, and he jumped from the ground to the window in an instant.
He felt that his heart was beating extremely fast, the blood was boiling hot and surging in his veins, and the infinite power could not be squandered no matter what.
This feeling is amazing, he has never felt the strength of his body like this.
His hearing seems to have become extremely strong, and the two breathing sounds in the room are clearly visible. In which direction, whether it is rapid or gentle, he can even feel the other party's emotions.
In just an instant, a lot of strength came from his waist and abdomen, and he turned over on the spot and jumped into the window. With a kick on the ground, he appeared behind Lucius in an instant.
"Ms. Rookwood, sorry to disturb you so late, I hope you can write a recommendation for this book..."
Before Lucius finished speaking, a huge fist hit his head.
Boom~
Lucius didn't even have any way to react, he slapped and fell to the ground, simply and neatly.
The physical version swoons.
"Merlin's beard!" The wife hastily pulled out her wand, and pointed to the figure that suddenly appeared. This person was wrapped in a huge hooded wizard robe, and his face could not be seen clearly.
but……
It is so familiar.
Turned into ashes, she also remembered.
"August..." She covered her mouth tightly, looking at the man in disbelief.
Luke Wood was silent for a moment, put down the hood on his head, and looked at his wife with a complicated expression, "Audrey..."
Before he had time to say anything, his wife had already rushed over, grasping the collar of his wizard robe with both hands, sobbing and crying.
While weeping, he hammered his chest hard.
It was really hard, and the strength of the big white bear was not blessed. He was beaten until his teeth were grinning, and tears fell from the beating.
He hugged his wife so hard, as if he never wanted to let go.
...
"Hey~ wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"It's no use for you, honey, look at me."
Wow~~
Rookwood stared blankly at his wife, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Audrey was complacent. Seeing Luke Wood's expression, she quickly put down the bucket, combed the ends of her hair, and smiled shyly, "You know, well, a beautiful lady lives alone. It’s about dealing with all sorts of things.”
Luke Wood touched her hair with some emotion, "You have worked hard all these years."
"Oh~August~"
"Oh~Audrey~"
"Ahem~" Lucius spat out a mouthful of water, struggled to raise his head, stared at Rookwood with wide eyes, and hurriedly touched his coat pocket.
Audrey smiled and waved the wand in her left hand, "I guess you are looking for this."
Lucius glanced at the two of them, sighed, and lay back on his back.
"You can escape from Azkaban, you are amazing."
Rookwood shrugged, didn't say anything, just reached out and pulled him up from the ground.
"I caught you escaping from prison and you caught me again. You haven't killed me yet." Lucius thought for a moment, then smiled softly, "It seems that you need my help."
"I need a channel into the Department of Mysteries, and I think you can provide me with a way. After that, I want you to help me leave England."
"Yes." Lucius agreed very readily.
Rookwood and his wife looked at each other, then looked at Lucius, "I know what kind of person you are, it seems that you also need my help, right?"
"Oh, don't say that, we used to be comrades-in-arms."
Lucius raised an eyebrow, "Of course, it would be even better if you could do me a little favor."
"explain."
He quickly took out a thick tome from his woolen coat, "I need your wife to help me write a recommendation. She is a famous transfiguration expert. In fact, I have already found many people."
Luke Wood froze for a moment, "That's it?"
"I think you should go to France. The Malfoy family doesn't have much influence there. I hope you can help me run a bookstore and promote this book."
This can't fix Luke Wood, this is obviously not an equal deal, Lucius, a greedy person, could have proposed a higher price.
He stared at Lucius for a long time, and pulled the book out of Lucius' hand with an expression of 'you're kidding me'.
looked down.
oh~
