Chapter 213 They Didn’t Survive to the End
[Wade: Landon Johnson might have a problem, Dad, don't have any contact with him anymore! ]
Wade quickly wrote this sentence on the friend's book, and then immediately contacted Lupin and asked him to protect his parents.
A few seconds later, a reply message appeared in the friend account.
[Ferdinand: Why are you saying this suddenly... You also know about Anne's death? ]
【Lupin: Okay, I'll be right there. 】
[Ferdinand: Dumbledore checked Langdon's memory and found nothing wrong. They thought that Anne might have seen something she shouldn't have seen when she was asking for information, so she was targeted.]
【Lupin: I have arrived at the Grey's house, the door is locked, and no one is in the house. Mr. and Mrs. Grey are not at home?】
[Fiona: Honey, we are safe now, don't worry. But you, don't always focus on studying on your days off, it would be nice to fly on a broom with your classmates for a while! ]
[Lupin: There is a little dust on the door handle. They have been away from home for at least two days. And they left in a hurry. There is a cup of cold coffee on the table.]
[Ferdinand: Remember what I told you? Don't get involved in these dangerous things. Although babies in the magic world can also become saviors, if all troubles need to be solved by children like you, our world will really be over.]
[Lupin: Don't worry, they may not be in trouble. I will contact Sirius and Professor Dumbledore now.]
Messages from both sides appeared on the parchment one by one. After Wade finished reading one message, he didn't even have time to reply before he saw new words appear on the other parchment.
But there was a contradiction in their words, which made Wade suddenly feel cold all over.
He picked up the pen, hesitated for a moment, and wrote on the [Family] page:
【Are you all at home now? 】
Then, new news emerged:
【Ferdinand: No, we moved out.】
[Ferdinand: Just in case, Dumbledore found us a bodyguard, who is said to be a very powerful retired Auror.]
[Ferdinand: But he has a strange temper and is unwilling to leave his familiar environment, so we had to rent a house next to his for the time being.]
Wade let out a long sigh, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his back.
He first told Lupin about his parents' move so that he wouldn't be anxious and worried, and then asked:
[Vade: Who is that retired Auror? I asked Remus to help protect your safety. He went to our house, but he didn't see anyone. I was scared.]
He finally couldn't help but complain.
[Fiona: Sorry, Wade. I didn't tell you about the move because I didn't want you to worry at school. If there's nothing else, we'll definitely go back before summer vacation.]
Fiona drew a tongue-out expression, as if making a naughty face.
[Ferdinand: Don't blame your mother, this was my idea too.]
[Ferdinand: That Auror is called Alastor Moody. Although he has a bad temper, the scars all over his body are his medals. Now he is our neighbor. I believe that any dark wizard who appears on this street will not be hidden from his nose. ]
[Fiona: He is a bit suspicious. As soon as we met, he suspected that the puppets you gave were killers disguised as toys and asked us to throw them away.]
【Ved: ...Killer?】
[Fiona: Yeah, it's outrageous, isn't it? We swore that we would not let Coco and the others enter his house, and he finally agreed to let us keep the little ones, and he also told Dumbledore that if we were killed by the puppets, it would not be considered his dereliction of duty.] It can be seen that Fiona tried to express herself objectively, but she was still full of resentment.
Vader couldn't help but smile.
Of course he remembered Alastor Moody. Although he did not appear many times in the plot, he was recognized as the strongest Auror.
Even if he is old, retired, and considered to be delusional... people will only think that he is senile and confused, and will not think that he is a weak person who needs protection.
With Moody living next to his parents, Wade was certainly relieved.
At the same time, he would not forget that if it were not for Dumbledore's request, a retired hero like Moody who lived in seclusion would never come to be the bodyguard of two ordinary people.
Wade would not think highly of himself, but he would not belittle himself either. He knew that Dumbledore must have his own reasons for attaching so much importance to the safety of the Grey couple.
He accepted it with gratitude, knowing that he would be able to repay the kindness.
[Ved: Dad, do you still need to go to work? ]
[Ferdinand: Most of the work matters can be handled online. If there are any documents that need to be signed, Darren will bring them over.]
Darren is Ferdinand's assistant. He usually helps him deal with all the big and small matters at work, and sometimes he used to pick up Wade from school.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Wade relayed Dumbledore's arrangements to Lupin, thanked him for his help, and apologized for his own instability.
[Lupin: There is nothing to apologize for. Anyone would be nervous when it comes to their loved ones. I envy your family's feelings.]
[Lupin: And because of this incident, Sirius finally walked out of the Black mansion. He heard about this for the first time, and now he ran to Dumbledore to apply to join the investigation.]
[Vade: Sirius? Is he okay? This may be caused by some dark wizards who dare to kill people at will. If you are careless, you will definitely be in danger.]
[Lupin: It's nothing, we have fought the most dangerous dark wizard in the world. And having something to do can also help Sirius recover. ]
[Lupin: Of course. We have returned to Hogsmeade for the convenience of our operations. You can still come and play on the weekends.]
[Vade: Forget about playing. I want to learn the Patronus Charm as soon as possible.]
[Lupin: The Patronus Charm? This is one of the most powerful and ancient defensive spells, and it is very difficult to learn.]
[Ved: I know. I've seen it appear in many ancient magic legends, and it can resist most black magic, so I want to learn it.]
【Lupin: Okay, starting this weekend, we'll start learning the Patronus Charm.】
After a pause, Lupin added:
[Lupin: Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Vader. We won't let you get into danger until all of us fall.]
Wade looked at the words and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Of course he knew that there were always some people willing to sacrifice themselves to protect others, but when he was weak, he could rely on these people——
Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius, even Moody...
None of them survived to the end.
