"… 'Sinistad'."
When old Victor heard this last name, he was stunned.
He originally thought that his experience this time would only bring endless regrets, and he even gave up the pursuit of the original figure not long ago.
But who knew that when he finally gave up hope and just wanted to return to his original world and spend the rest of his life, fate didn't seem to want to just let this bad old man go.
but…
No, that's not her, maybe she just happens to have the same last name.
What's more, when she is so old, how can she still be as young as she was then... Then she looks like she is only in her thirties, right
Really too young.
Old Victor glanced at the door for a few times, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt, as if a certain figure gradually overlapped with the woman also named "Sinister" in his eyes.
Yes, she just looks a bit like her back then, so I can’t look at her anymore.
Old Victor temporarily gave up his plan to accompany his son and quietly passed by the warehouse door, walking non-stop along the dilapidated and messy corridor to the other end.
And in the next second, he didn't notice that the woman in the room also turned her head slightly. She looked back as if she noticed something, but saw nothing.
…
"Professor Sinistra, what's wrong?"
Hermione on the side saw this and asked doubtfully, and Sinistra immediately shook her head.
"There seemed to be someone at the door just now..." she said, but quickly smiled, "Well, maybe it's because of Haierbo, I'm a little too sensitive!"
"Oh! It's best to confirm this situation—no possibility should be left out."
Hermione immediately put down the notebook in her hand and stood up suddenly. Seeing that she was about to check the corridor outside, Sinista nodded and said:
"You're right, it's better to take a look."
But it was obvious that when the two of them walked out of the room and into the corridor, except for the little spiders on the wall that were still crawling around, there was no one left outside.
But just when Hermione wanted to use a magic spell to check, suddenly, a person came out of the corner at the other end of the corridor.
"What are you doing standing at the door?"
"Oh, it's you, Sirius—" Hermione took a closer look and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "Professor Sinistra just said that she felt someone was outside the door, so we came out to see... Did you see anyone when you came here? ?"
"Is there anyone?" Sirius glanced behind him subconsciously, and then said, "Maybe it's Old Victor! He was heading to the hall from here just now."
He was talking, but soon he frowned again.
"Huh? He said before that he wanted to come here to see his son... Why, he never went in?"
"No."
Hermione and Sinistra looked at each other, probably realizing that the latter might not know who old Victor was, so Hermione simply stood at the door and explained directly.
After hearing about the unfortunate experiences of Victor and his son, Sinista nodded with some clarity.
"This is really an unfortunate story..." she couldn't help but sigh. "The most unfortunate people in this disaster are the Muggles, but it also caused many innocent wizards to be involved, and many people even lost their precious lives. life-"
But Sirius, who was coming this way, shrugged and said:
"That father and son are not 'wizards'. Not to mention that the old man is definitely not a wizard. Even his son... Hey, at least before that, he seemed to be just an ordinary Muggle."
"Muggle?" Sinistra was immediately surprised when he heard this, "Didn't Miss Granger just say that you were the one who met him on the broomstick in mid-air?"
"Yes!" Sirius smiled inexplicably, "So, I also find it strange... Anyway, Maka said that he was indeed just a Muggle not long ago. However, there seemed to be some unknown stories hidden in it... "
Sinista thought for a while, but found that he was somewhat confused.
Logically speaking, every child with magical talent will be discovered by the magic school, without exception.
Unless, this little Victor was born in a place with a very loose and backward wizarding society, and then came to settle in the UK.
But looking at the way Maka treats the father and son, it feels like the secret behind it is not that simple - that's what Sirius thinks anyway.
"In short, no matter what, we can't conclude that he is not controlled by Haierbo... It would be better to say that little Victor is actually the biggest suspect here."
As he spoke, he walked towards the temporary ward, and after entering, he glanced at the corner.
The stone statue of little Victor is standing there now. Although no one pays much attention to it when coming in and out, no one can really ignore its importance.
In particular, Maka seemed to have been paying close attention to the appearance of the father and son before quietly leaving St. Mungo's.
However, when Sirius glanced casually and looked at the man lying on the ground, he couldn't help but froze in place for a moment.
"Huh?"
Before hurriedly going to various parts of the hospital to launch a "big search", Sirius had taken a look at this man. But because the little wizards from RA were still separated from each other at that time, they didn't look too carefully.
But at this moment, when Sirius took a closer look at the man's appearance, a feeling of déjà vu suddenly came to his heart.
"This face... I seem to have seen it somewhere?"
"where?"
What Hermione was most concerned about now was the identity of this man. So when she saw Sirius, she might know it, so she immediately trotted to his side.
"Could it be that this is Phoenix—"
"No, that's definitely not the case." Sirius immediately shook his head and said, "Although our people are widely distributed, there are not so many that I can't remember the other members... But after what you said, I seem to have an impression. ”
"Yeah?"
"Hmm... maybe it's in some document." He rummaged through his memory, trying to pull it out from an inconspicuous corner, "It would be nice if Lu Ping was here at this time. , he has always been responsible for data processing..."
Just as he said this, Sirius' eyes suddenly lit up.
"I think we can ask Kingsley to come over and take a look! The information compiled by Lupine will basically pass through his hands... You guys wait here, I will bring Kingsley down."
After that, he rushed out of the room without looking back.
"Ouch!"
Just as they watched Sirius run out of the door, Hermione and Sinistra heard a cry of surprise from the corridor.
"Oh what? I didn't bump into you... Wait! Why are you standing outside the door? I heard that you just walked around here and left. What did you want to do?"
"What can I do as an old man... Aren't I just waiting for you to return my son to me?"
"If you want to take your son away, then take him away! The door is over there, you can go out just by carrying it -"
As soon as Hermione arrived at the door, she heard two people outside already arguing.
One of the two people was too embarrassed to do anything, and the other was just an elderly Muggle, so although both sides disliked each other, they could only rely on words to solve the problem.
Sirius's temper was not much better to begin with.
Even though he doesn't talk much at ordinary times, those are the habits he developed in Azkaban. I think back when he was at Hogwarts, he was famous for mocking the elites. This can be seen just by looking at his venomous mother in the portrait.
Although old Victor was also the kind of person who never spoke in an angry tone, once he encountered Sirius's cynicism, he almost choked on his own saliva.
But just when he thought about how to fight back, the corner of his eye suddenly glanced, and his next words still rotted in his stomach.
When Sirius saw that he was silent, he followed the old man's gaze and looked behind him.
To be honest, as a woman, Sinistra is quite beautiful. But considering her age, she can be considered the daughter-in-law of an old man like you. Is it appropriate to stare at her like this
"Hey! What are you looking at!"
The hand that was about to pat the old man's shoulder was pushed aside by the other party, and then everyone was pushed aside by Old Victor.
Sirius frowned, resisting the urge to slap the old man on the back of the head, and was about to continue to say some words of warning.
But the next moment, old Victor spoke first.
"Do you recognize your... lady named 'Aurelia Sinistra'?"
From just now, Sinista came here purely out of curiosity, but now, she was completely stunned.
"This... sir?" she said hesitantly, "do you know my mother?"
"Really?"
Old Victor murmured softly in a voice that only he could hear, and then shook his head, with a complicated smile on his face.
"I've heard of her. She's an outstanding astronomer..." He said with a stiff smile, "Oh, I just thought you looked a bit like her, so I came to ask. Um... Excuse me."
Old Victor finished his words hurriedly, then turned around and walked back. Sinistra shouted several times in a row without stopping him.
Not long after, the three people present watched the old man disappear in a hurry around the corner.
"Why don't you catch up and ask clearly?"
Not to mention Professor Sinistra, Sirius and Hermione alone are not brainless people. At first glance, there are some very personal past entanglements here.
After hearing Hermione's question, Sinista took a step toward the door involuntarily, but who knew she quickly took her foot back.
"I may know who he is..." she said quietly, "but I don't think I can go find him."
