Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Armenia, the small town of Tsavdzo.

A soft fire flickered in the fireplace of Agha Hasyan's house.

After Dumbledore and others left, only Arkhipovna and the old wizard were left in the living room.

Perhaps it was an emergency, or for other reasons, Dumbledore did not call Arkhipovna when they left, and the Russian shrew did not intend to follow her. She took out a book from her backpack. With a stack of manuscript paper, I read and wrote carefully.

Time slipped away quietly with the ticking of the pendulum clock, leaving no trace.

After drinking the second cup of tea, Agha Hasyan finally couldn't help being the first to break the silence.

"So, the kid just now wasn't the daughter of you and Lockhart?"

"Hmm. No."

Arkhipovna replied without lifting her head, cherishing words like gold.

"Then you and Lockhart are also..."

"We just dated. He is my fiancé for the time being."

"Just dating, then you are also a writer?" The old wizard glanced at the woman who was writing something.

"No, I am a physicist." Arkhipovna replied lightly.

"Oh oh."

The old wizard opened his mouth, there were many questions in his heart, but for a time he felt that he couldn't find anything to say.

Unlike Guidro Lockhart's constant beeping, his "fiancee" is simply the other extreme.

From the second time he woke up in the room, to Dumbledore and other people visiting, to the two wizards hurriedly leaving, the words of this woman named Arkhipovna would not add up to more than thirty sentences, except Apart from answering questions and instructions, there is hardly any unnecessary small talk.

If it is on weekdays, Agha Hasyan would be happy, after all, he was originally a wizard who was particularly tired of causing unnecessary trouble.

However, the situation is clearly different now...

No matter what happened before, but from the current results, Lockhart obviously saved his life by self-sacrifice.

Under such circumstances, Arkhipovna’s silence is undoubtedly a nail in the heart of the old wizard. He would rather the other party quarrel, inquire, or even scold, rather than wait for the dawn in this suffocating atmosphere. , This feels really bad!

After a few seconds of silence, Agha Hasyan glanced at Arkhipovna who was reading quietly, trying to find something.

"Um, so you are now studying your... Um, physics?"

"No, I'm reading a novel. By the way, answer the questionnaire that was included when I bought the book."

Arkhipovna shook her head. She erected the book she was reading. The first thing that caught the old wizard’s eyes was Gildro Lockhart’s particularly awkward smiling face, followed by Lockhart’s photo. The big gilded titles below: "Wandering with the Werewolves".

"Ah, this book..." Agha Hasyan considered the sentence, "If you are interested in this story, you can just ask me..."

"No, thank you. I think Lockhart's book is quite interesting--"

Arkhipovna faintly declined to say, her eyes swept over the printed text line by line, and said quietly.

"I once said to someone: Novels come from life and are higher than life. Whether a novel is wonderful or not, the plot is ups and downs, and the storytelling is naturally important, but it is not all of the work...otherwise the best in the world The novels you read must be the autobiography of adventurers. Good books are worth reading repeatedly, like shells on the beach after low tide. Those writers’ visions dotted in words are the truly precious things..."

"Well, do you understand what I mean? Mr. Aghahiyan. Some clumsy fools, they secretly hide their dreams."

Arkhipovna's eyes flowed, and in her low voice, there was a trace of gentle and slightly disgusting complex sentiment.

It seemed that what she was holding in her hand was not an adventure novel, but a love letter to her.

"I……"

The old wizard opened his mouth. He felt that the current situation was a hundred times more difficult than when he wrestled with werewolves.

"Don't worry, Lockhart is the most cunning and talkative guy I have ever seen, and he can definitely come back safely. The werewolves are also normal people before the transformation, and they can communicate well—maybe he is now On the way back, or...well..."

Agha Hasyan was silent for a few more seconds, and he didn't believe these words himself.

As a wizard, Lockhart would have returned here long ago if he could get away.

The night of the full moon is coming, and no one will be crazy enough to stay in the virgin forest full of werewolves.

As he told the little girl before, even a top wizard like Dumbledore, at best, locks the position and apparates when the wolf sounds. There are too many uncertainties, Aghaha. Yang knew it very well.

The guy Guidro Lockhart... this time it's probably gone.

"Well, the fiction questionnaire? About this book? Let me fill it out together, if you don't mind—"

Agha Hasyan returned to his senses quickly and glanced at Arkhipovna tentatively. After seeing that the other party had no objection, he stretched out his hand and took out a copy of the questionnaire from the pile of parchment paper and placed it on the table. Spread it out and draw out your magic wand to invite a quill to help fill out the questionnaire.

After all, he is the prototype of the book "Wandering with the Werewolves". If it is the Easter Egg Questionnaire, he should still be able to...

Patter.

The quill in Aghahiyan's hand fell down.

"These are all... uh, what's the strange question?!"

He stared at the questionnaire in front of him blankly, chanting like a constipation.

"1. What color does Guidro Lockhart like best?"

"2. What is Guidro Lockhart's secret ambition?"

"3. What do you think is Guidro Lockhart's greatest achievement so far?"

And so on, a whole piece of paper is filled, and the last question is:

"18. When is Guidro Lockhart's birthday? What is his ideal birthday present?"

Many of the blanks in the front have now been filled in, and now only the following questions remain.

Agha Hashi raised his brows, glanced at the last question, turned his head and looked at the Muggle woman not far away who was sitting in the living room with a full-length questionnaire, and was embarrassed and politely slow. It seemed a bit helpless to return this questionnaire to the other party slowly.

"Sorry, I thought it was about the content of the book..."

"In fact, these are indeed the content mentioned in the book-beyond the story, the reflection of the creator."

Arkhipovna took the questionnaire, looked at the questions that Lockhart "screened" lucky readers above, and answered in a flat tone.

"Lockhart mentioned in "A Year with the Tibetan Snowman" that his favorite color is lilac. And the answers to those questions are also hidden in the text fragments of his adventure stories. For example, His secret ambition is to eliminate evil in the world and protect everyone who lives in the sun and shadows... Of course, if he can make more money by the way, he might be happier."

"As for birthdays, there are the most ideal birthday gifts—"

She paused for a few seconds, put down the half-filled "Top Secret Questionnaire" in her hand, turned her head and looked at the wall clock not far away.

"If he had not falsely stated his age in the book, he would be twenty-nine after twelve o'clock tonight. In the last two paragraphs of Chapter 12 in the book "Wandering with the Werewolves", Lockhart said he was the most The birthday gift I want is: all magical and non-magic people live together in harmony. I guess I can’t help with this, but I asked someone to buy a large bottle of Ogden Aged Flame Whiskey from the store. He would like it, right? "

"Suka—his birthday today? It's a good birthday, but why is he running here?!"

Agha Hasyan's eyes twitched, and finally swallowed the short and powerful Armenian dialect.

I had known that he didn't talk so much, and focused on the focus of the atmosphere, which is much better than it is now.

It's all right now, and Agha Hasyan felt even worse.

The old wizard's eyes wandered in the living room for a few seconds, and finally stayed on the dusty storage shelf not far away.

"Ah, that's all right, it's not a solution for us to sit here and think about it, or should I try to divination?"

"Divination?" Arkhipovna frowned in confusion.

"This is not a trick of the non-magical world. Fortune-telling is a very important formal course in the magic school."

Agha Hasyan nodded, stood up and walked quickly to the storage shelf to pick up a box, blew away the thick dust on it, walked quickly back to the table, and opened the wooden box solemnly. Pour out a stack of yellowed pieces of paper from the inside, while explaining seriously.

"When I graduated from Kodos Dorez School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that year, I almost got an O (excellent) for my divination. If it weren't for the examiner, it would be too hard to lie-I mean it was too rigid, I was almost a little bit too rigid. I can also become the most outstanding graduate. I am not particularly good at crystal ball divination, tea divination, and so on. My divination still has to be cooperated and involved in order to become accurate..."

"So, what you are good at is the field of divination... Tarot cards?"

Before the old wizard could sort out the pile of things he hadn't used since he graduated, Arkhipovna's curious voice came in his ear.

"Uh-so you know this..."

Agha Hasyan blinked, and the motion on his hand froze.

You know, let alone the Russian magic world, even the entire former Soviet Union-the non-magic world and the magic world together-not many know Tarot cards at this time. Although Gilderro Lockhart is a wizard from England, his "fiancee" is obviously an authentic Russian shrew. Whether it is appearance, accent, or some vocabulary habits, these are difficult to change s things.

Agha Hasyan originally planned to use this information gap to make light and shadow come out to comfort the other party a little.

"I just heard about it not long ago. I just know that every card seems to have a special meaning, but I don't know what it is."

Arkhipovna closed the book at hand and looked at the pile of cards with complex and curious expression.

Since knowing the existence of the "Great Arcana" wizard, she has wondered what meaning each name has in addition to the simple code name.

Although according to Lockhart's explanation, his "hanged man" has no special meaning.

But Arkhipovna didn't completely believe ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, Lockhart’s head is sometimes not as smart as a lab mouse.

As the newly appointed A-level research director, Arkhipovna may not be able to inquire about the information of each Grand Arcana, but he can judge the number of them and know the existing What are the "Kana":

The fool, the magician, the priestess, the queen, the pope, the chariot, the hermit, the justice, the hanged man, the tower, the world.

Now there are a total of eleven "Grand Arcana" whose information is not available for inquiry.

If it is just to distinguish and hide, it stands to reason that there should not be such a strange phenomenon of "skipping".

unless……

The main card of each of them also corresponds to a mysterious meaning.

Arkhipovna specifically inquired a lot of books for this, but in the information collection of Mandate of Heaven, there was no content about the interpretation of tarot cards.

Perhaps there are some explanations in the non-magical world, and the Hogwarts library may also have them, but as a researcher at the Hogwarts Institute temporarily "secretly", Arshipovna has no way to access these contents, and she There is a slight worry in my heart.

What Lockhart didn’t know could actually have two explanations:

Either this guy is a simple naive, or...someone doesn't want him to know.

And all the answers are obviously hidden in the explanation of "Grand Arcana".
