Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts

Chapter 442: “The Fly and The Dove”

After finding out so much information and giving the most reasonable guess, Sean thought that this was Stephanie’s limit, but he didn’t expect her to have a new lead. She was not a mysterious character; she directly spread out the parchment she took out, which was also a torn page from a certain book, but it was worn out and older.

“Have you heard of the Nott family?”

Hermione nodded immediately, “The Nott family, mentioned in the infamous “Pure Blood Directory”, is one of the pure blood families. I remember that there was a student in Slytherin from the Nott family; he was called Theodore Nott.”

Sean also nodded; not only that, but he also knew more about it. The Slytherin boy named Theodore Nott was a student who always had a unique face, rarely expressing disgust and even less pleasure. Although Theodore is a pure-blood supremacist, he has not joined Draco’s group, whether it is the small group in the past or the current big group.

Theodore is a bit like a lone wolf in Slytherin; he walks alone and never joins any group, and there are probably only a few people who can be called his friends. The reason why Sean knew this person so well was because Theodore’s father was a Death Eater. When he was in Malfoy Manor, he was curled up in a seat covered in a black cloak.

Sean has investigated his personal information and family information. However, it may be the reason why Voldemort did not rise. Although Old Nott became a Death Eater, his son Theodore did not seem to understand the Death Eaters.

He frowned, “Is it related to the Nott family?”

Stephanie nodded, “To be precise, it is related to the Nott family in the past. You should know that in the UK, many so-called pure-blood families are not families that have been passed down for thousands of years, and many families of them are from other countries. The branch of the pure-blood family developed, and they have a symbol for their own family branch.”

Sean nodded. For example, the Rosier family is from the Rosier family in France. The “chicken” Evan Rosier that Sean saw before to the British Rosier family and the current headmaster of Nurmengard, Vinda Rosier, belonged to the French Rosier family.

“The Nott family is not a pure-blood family in the UK. I checked a lot of information, and there is definite evidence that the Nott family is a branch of a foreign pure-blood family that came to England.”

Daisy asked, “But what does the Nott family have to do with the clue you just mentioned? Could it be that the ancestor of the Nott family is one of the characters represented by those animals in the nursery rhymes?”

Stephanie nodded, “They are involved. Look at this.”

They looked at the parchment. A crooked painting was recorded on the old withered and yellow paper. The paint had already peeled off. Just looking at the painting method, it seemed to be of the ancient Greek school.

In the picture, a middle-aged man in strange clothes is opening his eyes wide and rubbing his hands back and forth. In front of him is a mass of invisible shape, which seems to be some kind of treasure. Beside the man, a wizard in luxurious clothes was smiling and talking.

Below the illustration, there is a paragraph of text.

“The owner of Nott’s family welcomed a new guest. This guest seemed to come from the Misty Land. This guest came to Nott’s house with the treasure from the Misty Land. He intends to exchange his treasures for a place where he can settle down.”

“The owner of the Nott family saw the value of the treasure. He accepted it, provided the guest with a place to settle down, and even distributed part of the family’s property to them.”

“The two have reached a long-term trading and cooperation relationship. The Nott family used the Misty Land treasures brought back by this person to expand their power. But the treasures seem to have hidden dangers.”

“One day, the head of the Nott family, who has become a well-known family head in the city, suddenly went crazy. He completely lost his mind, holding a black book in his hand.”

“The Nott’s house collapsed, and the guest in the Misty Land lost his shelter. He took the black book and Nott’s legacy with him and set off again to find a new home.”

“The Nott family asked the guest’s name and called himself as ‘Mr. Uninvited Guest.”

At the end of the text, they frowned.

“The mist and the black book…” Sean thought, “There is indeed a high degree of correlation.”

Stephanie pointed to the figure on the parchment and said, “And this…”

Sean was taken aback suddenly, “Guest, sets off…”

“This person was the fly who was there the whole time?” Hermione covered her mouth, “He witnessed all this; he came out of the Misty Land, and at the same time, he brought out the book.”

Sean let out a long breath, “He is very likely to be the author of the book.”

Stephanie listened quietly to their discussion, and she took out a copied picture.

“Before you deduced that there is a difference between the birds and the sins, and the pigeon or lark may be the only innocent one among them. It is indeed very likely that this ‘Mr. Uninvited Guest’ doing after the Nott family fell apart and no one knew where he went.”

“I searched all the information I could find, including the family histories of various families, etc., and found no trace of this person. The only exception is this.”

Hearing this, Sean looked over, and his pupils shrank. The copied picture was engraved with a family crest, and the crest was a flying dove.

“A friend of my grandpa once discovered ruins in the wild, where there may have been a family for thousands of years, and ‘Mr. Uninvited Guests’ appeared in the history of that family. There are only a few numbers of references, and finally, it is mentioned that this person and the family at that time jointly resisted a force. Still, they were unsuccessful, the family was completely destroyed, and this person completely disappeared.”

“The family crest is a dove.”

Sean immediately thought of many things, “From the previous records, he was just seeking shelter. When the Nott family was destroyed, he didn’t seem to help the Nott family but ran away directly. But according to family history, as seen by Mr. Ollivander’s friends, he and The Dove resisted attacking forces.”

Hermione said with some excitement, “The animals that appear in nursery rhymes, flies and doves, are all innocent witnesses. But because the bard has mastered his power, they can’t leave the truth clearly. They can only write a book in a euphemismic way.”

She spoke faster, throwing them all out like a cannonball, “The innocent escaped from the Misty Land, partly to spread the truth and partly to avoid the bard’s gaze. The bard may have sensed the anomalies from the fly and the dove.”

“This can also explain why the fly has been looking for shelter after returning from the Misty Land, and the bard likely sent the force that destroyed the dove’s family.”

Sean said in a deep voice, “It makes sense, and based on the current clues, this is the most likely guess.”

Stephanie also nodded, “I have repeatedly confirmed the authenticity and age of the information. There is no trace of forgery; this period of history is indeed authentic; at least the fly and dove really existed. “

“Then our starting point is…”

They looked at each other and said in a low voice, “The Nott family!”

Sean clenched his fist, “Although the family has gone through bad things. However, the Nott family still exists from that era to the present, so there is a high probability that they have retained many things that were brought out from the main family. It may be secret information, or it may be some kind of magical item, and there may be information about the fly in it.”

Hermione also nodded, “We have at least found an entry point. The only trouble is that Theodore Nott may not be easy to talk to.”

Sean continued, “Let’s give it a try. I will use all the power I can to gain Theodore’s trust. Draco can at least talk to him…”

Of course, it is impossible to start with Theodore. The best way to do this is to ask the head of the Nott family at that time. If it were Sean two years ago, there would be no problem, but now that the head of the Nott family has returned to Voldemort’s side, the only Death Eaters he can manipulate are probably Barty Crouch Jr. and Lestrange.

If Sean went to him rashly, Voldemort might have noticed something, and the Returners might have known that he was up to something, which Sean absolutely didn’t want to see.

“Let’s start with Theodore Nott.” Sean made a decision.

If Sean can’t gain Theodore’s trust through normal means to obtain the secrets of the Nott family, then he may have to take some other ways.

The Imperius Curse is unrealistic. It is a bad thing to use this Unforgivable Curse. There may be no taboos against Sean’s enemy, but they cannot be used against a student who is in the same grade as him and doesn’t know if he’s on the good or bad side.

Legilimency might be a better choice.

Stephanie’s arrival today was awkward, but the thing she brought was amazing. They who had been unable to find the clue to the mystery finally found an entry point, and they were excited.

After discussing some details, they fully enjoyed the afternoon tea prepared by Sean.

The mystery that has troubled them for a long time is solvable. Although they have some doubts, given all their thoughts so far, which have been guesses and reasoning, they’re still in a good mood. With the addition of delicious desserts, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.

However, the relaxed atmosphere did not last long. When the discussion was over, and the dessert was almost eaten, the atmosphere began to change quietly again.

Everyone has not forgotten the scene in the yard. Sean ate the last pudding as slowly as possible. He regretted that he hadn’t prepared it more. Now, there is no excuse for him.

Just as Sean was struggling, Stephanie looked at the time and stood up.

“I’ve finished talking about everything, and it’s getting late. Diagon Alley has a curfew now. If I go back late, I have to spend the night outside.”

Sean almost stood up with grateful eyes, “Ah, are you leaving now?”

Stephanie glanced at Sean, and she could see his expression.

She smiled faintly, “Yes, thank you for your hospitality today, Sean. Daisy, Hermione, it’s a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you next time.”

“Oh, I’ll see you around then.” Sean also laughed.

Hermione was still sitting and a little hesitant. Just as Hermione hesitated and Daisy was about to speak, the bell for the private room rang.

Sean walked over. This room was built for privacy. Of course, the sound from the outside world cannot be ignored.

His mother’s voice came from the intercom, “Sean, Am I bothering you? But you have to come out. Professor McGonagall from your school is in the living room right now.”

Sean and the girls looked at each other in surprise.

“Okay, I’ll be going out now.”

When they walked out and came to the living room, Professor McGonagall was sitting on the sofa.

“Oh, Sean, excuse for my arrival.” Professor McGonagall thanked Mrs. WAllup for her black tea, pushed her glasses, and stood up.
