Chapter 127 The Iris Scepter Opens Slowly

Stephanie's 11th birthday was held very grandly, but many ordinary people and high-class people in the world were invited, as well as Stephanie's German friends.

Burt knew that Stephanie would enter Durmstrang to study in September, but he would still study at Hogwarts with Severus.Stephanie will miss them terribly.

Stephanie's blond hair was long and lustrous and looked like the sun, not platinum like Lucius but blond like the sun.

Looking at her from a distance, I feel warm inside, as if with a blazing heat, and there will be no haze when I see her.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Stephanie felt a little strange watching Burt carving a scepter.

Severus's potion field has been officially opened up in the garden, and now Severus is working hard, and although Lance doesn't like potion, which is a plant with teeth and claws, he still comes to help Severus grow together.

With the joint efforts of the two, the potion fields specially opened up in the garden grew very gratifyingly.

Burt carved a scepter-like thing about forty centimeters long under a huge elm tree. The elm wood was polished very smooth, and the top was carved into the shape of a blooming iris flower with its petals stretched out. , and there is a groove where the flower center was originally.

The body of the stick is also carved with patterns of vines, which feels moist to the touch.Stephanie also has her own wand, which she picked out from the family wand store, and it fits pretty well.

After Bert carved the last leaf, he blew lightly, blowing away the sawdust on it, revealing the smooth body of the stick.Burt stared at the light for a long time, and was relieved that every side looked flawless.

Then Burt took out a thumb-sized blood ruby ​​from his trouser pocket, and carefully placed the gem into the groove of the scepter.

What is amazing is that as soon as this gem enters the flower center groove, the whole scepter seems to come alive, the original dark brown carved flowers on the wood turn blue-purple, and the vines on the body of the scepter turn dark green, and those carved out The leaves turned green and really looked like an iris flower being held in the hand.

The gem has also become a part of the flower, and those seams are all gone, and it is one piece.

Lightly tapped on the gem, there was a "clank" sound of swords and guns hitting each other, all the petals of the scepter shrank and turned into something like a handle, and Burt pulled it out lightly, and it became a sharp thin handle The sword is unsheathed.

"Wow!" Stephanie saw the scepter in her brother's hand, her green eyes widened.

"Fanny, it's yours."

Burt touched the scepter carefully, making sure that every rune was playing its due effect, put the sword back into its sheath, and then handed the restored scepter to Stephanie's hand.

Stephanie really wanted it, but brother spent so much time making this scepter, just to give it to her?

"Brother, what about you?" Stephanie didn't take over the scepter immediately, but folded her skirt and sat beside Burt.

Burt's eyes became crescents with a smile: "Don't think about it, I have my father's wand in my hand, and this wand has been specially changed by my mother for me. It is the most suitable for me."

"Fanny, this is my admission gift for you. I specially made it for you, Fanny, your wind and wood magic elements have the highest affinity, and so does this scepter. This gem is from Extracted from Whooping Willow, and my hair inside." Burt told the materials he used to make his wand.

Caressing Stephanie's soft hair, Bert lay down on the grass, comfortably and comfortably: "I'm worried that you are alone in Durmstrang, so this scepter will be a good weapon for you, she must He is your good partner." Burt was full of confidence, closed his eyes, and felt the temperature of the sun.

Stephanie took the wand, put it in her hand and stroked it inch by inch with her fingers, the touch was really no different from the flower vine.There is a special sense of intimacy that runs through the blood from the wand, which is much more suitable than the wand she found in the warehouse.

With a light wave, tulips pop out one after another from the front of the wand. The rich and fragrant smell is very pleasing.

Stephanie clenched her wand tightly and looked at Burt with a little amusement: from now on, she will be a girl with flowers in school forever, and this wand is really pretty.

"Brother, thank you." Stephanie lay down beside Bert, and Bert was lying in a large font, and Stephanie lay down with her neck resting on Bert's arm.

With her eyes closed, Stephanie smiled sweetly and nestled into Bert's arms: "Brother, Fanny likes you the most."

Burt tightened Stephanie's shoulders and held his sister in his arms: "I am your brother, and I will do everything that is good for you. These are all things I am willing to give, so don't thank me."

"Yeah." Stephanie hasn't been lying on the grass so casually for a long time, and it hasn't been so close to Bert for a long time.She misses, but doesn't envy Severus, because she loves Severus, too.As long as her brother likes it, Stephanie likes it unconditionally.

As much as Stephanie liked it, Bert never said no.

Severus, who had finally rested on the other side, saw the two brothers and sister sleeping closely, his black eyes still calm.

Lance showed a rare smile: "They were like this when they were young. Fanny and Herman have a better relationship, while Bert was brought up by Jin."

"Kim is not a serious person, and Bert's character taught by her is also a bit strange. Since that incident, Bert's personality has changed a lot, taciturn and leaning towards the dark, but it seems that Bert has changed after meeting you. A lot." Sitting in his chair, drinking tea, Lance told Severus all his impressions of Bert.

Severus didn't respond, and he was indeed a good listener, because he didn't interrupt the talker, and he listened very carefully, as if Lance was talking about important spellcasting techniques or planting The trick to potions.

Lance put the spoon into the teacup and took another sip of tea: "Stephanie panicked all day during the period when Bert fell. She lost her parents and didn't want to lose her brother. Then you know that she used a hunger strike The way to make Burt sober, after that, Stephanie is very dependent on Burt."

"Severus, Bert hasn't been the same since you showed up. He's gotten better and better, which is good."

Lance's words made Severus' eyes look a little hollow, but his ears seemed to start to turn red.What Lance said was to praise him, and the praise from the elders made Severus a little ashamed, because he thought he had little influence on Bert, but Bert was the one who changed him a lot.

"Your personalities are really different from Bert's," Lance looked at Severus, "although you are both so-called Slytherins."

Severus didn't know what Lance wanted to express, but it didn't seem like he was praising him or Bert, but there was no humiliation or displeasure, so Severus continued to listen.

"Bert treats the people he cares about and the people in his circle with all his heart. Seeing that you are living a good life makes me feel happy." After Lance said, he concentrated on tasting his black tea Yes, and there are cookies on the table.

It was then that Severus realized that Lance just wanted to tell him how he felt, and hoped they would move on.It made Severus feel a little strange for the elder to say such a thing.

There was an air of freedom about Lance, and Severus seemed to understand something.This natural elf is arranged for when he is not around.Perhaps Lance didn't plan to live here for a long time at the beginning, and meant to leave.

His eyes shifted to the two siblings lying on the lawn, Severus wondered if they knew what Lance meant by leaving.I guess I don't know, the three of them have lived together for too long, how could they not guess Lance's mind?

"Mr. Moonlight, I'm going to look for Bert first." Severus and Lance were silent for a while and decided to go to look for Bert.

"Yeah." Lance nodded and continued with his afternoon tea.

……

During the summer Lucius finished his studies, graduating with honors from Hogwarts, and Narcissa became Queen of Slytherin House at Hogwarts after him.

And Lucius, who just graduated, immediately got a job in the Ministry of Magic's Legal Department, but the director of the Legal Department suddenly fell ill and was unable to take up the job.

With his ability, money and power, Lucius successfully became the director of the legal department.Since Lucius took office, the Legal Department has amended many laws, all of which are favorable to the passage of black magic.

Moreover, as the head of the Ministry of Magic's Legal Department, Lucius has repeatedly cleared the ground for the Death Eaters in public. Even the "Daily Prophet", the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic and the most important source of public information, is about to be destroyed by Voldemort. The relevant reports have filled the forum.

With such near-extreme exposure techniques, and the daily sideshows, the Death Eaters still have a relatively bright image in front of the general public.

It's a pity that the life of the hemp seed and the mixed race is still very bad under this situation. Many wizards of the hemp seed have been killed, but there is no report about it in the newspapers.

Only the Ministry of Magic knows who did this.Even if they know, they have no way to change this situation.

The current Minister of Magic is Millicent Barnold, a relatively strong female Minister of Magic.It's just that after she took office, because of Lucius, her power in the Ministry of Magic has been reduced a lot.

Millicent refused to give in, for which she was threatened by many Death Eaters.And Lucius has repeatedly reminded her not to show her dissatisfaction with the Death Eaters too much.

Lucius' suggestion was good, but in Millicent's eyes, it was tantamount to provoking her authority.However, even though she felt humiliated, Millicent couldn't break free from the cage.

This made Millicent very angry and worried: the Death Eaters had threatened her more than once, especially with her family.

Judging the situation, it's not that Millicent doesn't understand, but she is determined not to associate with the Death Eaters.In Millicent's heart, she respected Dumbledore very much.The existence of Voldemort is something that Dumbledore thinks is bad, and the prevalence of black magic will plunge the entire British wizarding world into darkness.

Voldemort's policy will lead to the destruction of the wizarding world. Without the input of fresh blood, the wizarding world will be more closed and will not develop.A stagnant society simply perishes, and they don't understand it at all.

Millicent is determined to fight Voldemort to the end, but the method of choice will be a little more roundabout. After all, the situation is stronger than people.
