7. The disrupted plan

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Mr. Goshak already standing at the door, bidding farewell. He was shaking hands and kissing my grandparents, showing no signs of the intense pain and tears he had experienced the night before, except for the two large dark circles under his eyes that seemed somewhat out of place

It is necessary to think carefully about it

"Mr. Goshak is leaving, aren't you going to see him off?" Bunny said in a soft voice

Firstly, if Voldemort's power rises from Albania, then the first place he would go in the magical world would be within the realm of Durmstrang, especially since that school is renowned for dark magic. It is believed that he would recruit followers and gather disciples there. Not only can Abby not go herself, but she must also write a letter to her cousins, urging them to be cautious and not to be deceived by appearances, foolishly becoming Death Eaters and losing their lives without even realizing it. If necessary, she could even feign illness and take a few years off from school. Of course, it would be quite strange for all three young masters of the von Beckmann family to fall ill at the same time, so perhaps they should think of some other excuse, for example—being bitten by a wild boar while hunting!

In the first photograph, the elderly Beckman couple is embracing Abby, who appears to be the size of a doll, standing in the garden. The eldest cousin is barbecuing in the yard, tirelessly flipping the meat skewers, drenched in sweat. Meanwhile, the third cousin, oblivious to the situation, is critiquing the quality of the grilled meat. As a result, that day, the eldest cousin, seeking personal revenge, stuffed all the burnt meat onto his younger brother's plate. On that occasion, neither the uncle nor the aunt were present, and the second cousin was also absent. Yet, the third cousin continued to critique the meat, unaware of the brewing tension, leading to the eldest cousin's retaliatory act of filling his brother's plate with the charred remains.

Moreover, the grandparents will also be pleased

Then, he turned around, looked at the Green family, and laughed loudly again, still a spirited and charming old man

On this day, the atmosphere in the Green household was gloomy, and no one could feel happy. Seeing little Abby still looking listless, it was simply announced that classes would be suspended for a day, and everyone could return to their rooms to rest

Mr. Goshak, this was just picked by Bonnie this morning! I present it to you, wishing you everlasting happiness and that you will never feel discouraged or downcast

This is the first time hearing about Voldemort, and it feels very special, as if I had always been in a fairy tale world like Alice, and suddenly, the fairy tale has been shattered, danger is right before me, and a sense of crisis has instantly arisen

What kind of power has forged the overwhelming force that led numerous wizards born into noble pure-blood families to willingly devote everything to worship him

At the age of 6, I did not go to Germany because I had just come out of the hospital and my health was poor; I went the following year

While speaking, she stood on tiptoe, striving to insert a fresh Huanxiao flower into Mr. Geshake's collar buttonhole.

Abby no longer makes meatballs, she spreads her body and looks at her little hands—will the Green family be able to survive this storm?

Having eavesdropped on the conversation from last night, Abby felt increasingly agitated, rolling herself into a small ball on the long-haired carpet. She knew that a young journalist had been killed while trying to gather information about Voldemort. He sacrificed his precious life merely to alert the magical community in Britain, warning the wizards that a dark force was approaching

"Oh, I see, just come out." It seems that last night, the old man got drunk and slept at the Green's house

The second photo was taken during a vacation when I was 8 years old. That was the time when everyone was the most neatly dressed, and everyone was present, making the photo a family portrait. The whole family stood in front of my uncle and aunt's new house. In the front row, the elderly Beckmann couple was flanked by little Abby, who had two braids. In the second row, my uncle and aunt were in the center, with my older cousin and third cousin on the right, and the cool second cousin on the left. At that moment, the third cousin was placing a grasshopper on the head of the older cousin, who was completely unaware. After the photo was developed, the older cousin gave the little third cousin a beating as punishment for being jealous of his brother's 'handsomeness' and for ruining his brother's 'perfect image'.

Abby's eyes were a bit moist, and she knew she would forever remember this sunny spring morning, forever remember the smile of this lovely old man on that morning

Abby was already disinterested in studying today, so she hurriedly followed her grandfather's advice and returned to her room, pondering what to do in the future. Should she honestly go to Hogwarts, or should she find a way to avoid that high-risk area where people congregate?

The holiday this year has not yet arrived, but I believe that when the time comes, there will once again be a dramatic scene unfolding at the Green family's doorstep, as if it were a matter of life and death. Who knows, she is merely going on vacation, not being exiled, yet it feels as though they are parting forever, year after year. Every time it is time for her to go to Germany, the elderly couple seems to be suffering from a collective case of "paranoia," constantly worrying that those Germans will take hostages and not let them go.

Old friend, take care! The grandfather hesitated to continue speaking

Mr. Goshak gently touched the smiling flower, and his expression changed slightly. Finally, he leaned forward a bit, facing little Abby, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, little angel, this is the best gift I have received this year... it has given me hope, truly thank you."

My friends, I am leaving now, see you later!

"Miss, Miss," Abby came to her senses as Bonnie gently called from outside the door

Uncle held Auntie as they stood on the other side, both of their faces showing a hint of bitterness, for they had just consulted a Gypsy for a fortune-telling. The fortune-teller had bluntly informed them: if you want a daughter, perhaps in the next life!

Abby shot a glance at her grandfather and grandmother, those two old folks really lacked decency, spreading the word about her staying in bed. Ignoring them, she turned to Mr. Goshak and said softly, "You guessed it right, I came specifically to see you off"

From now until the time when Harry Potter's parents were killed, what exactly did Voldemort do during these ten years that made wizards of all ages so fearful that they dared not even speak his name

He straightened his body, looked into the distance, and said: "Indeed... hope...!"

The third photo was taken during a trip to Austria when I was 9 years old, along with my grandparents. On that occasion, my older cousin and my third cousin were both absent; one was said to be grounded, while the other had received an academy award and could "honorably" spend the holiday with the principal and board members. However, the outcome was the same for both. In that photo, my grandparents are romantically embracing each other, while next to them is my second cousin, who appears cool on the outside but is actually very gentle on the inside, holding little Abby, who still had two braids but was noticeably a bit taller. She was holding a balloon, and both of them were laughing foolishly.

Having thought so much, what about her? What should be done!

Because Voldemort should not stay there for long, at most two or three years, before continuing westward, crossing the boundaries of the Burbank School, and returning to the place he most desires to conquer—the magical world of England

What is the matter

However, Merlin, she is now in a real era, one where known dangers are imminent, in a place that is isolated and devoid of any nearby villages or shops... What should we do about this

... ...

What kind of fear and threat could cause people to still refrain from speaking his name even a decade after Voldemort vanished from the scene

Thinking of this, Abby looked up at a row of combination photo frames on the writing desk, which contained pictures taken every year since she was 6 years old while living with her grandparents in Germany, along with a picture of an uncle and three cousins

"Mr. Goshak, Mr. Goshak, please wait a moment, wait a moment," Abby shouted

Uncle and Aunt were instantly taken aback; they had been scheming since the first time Abby went to Germany to keep this adorable little girl and make her their own daughter. Unfortunately, this ambition was thwarted by dozens of furious letters from the old Green couple. Now, their dreams were cruelly shattered by that fortune teller, and even during the photo session, they could not adjust their expressions.

Originally, Abby's plan was to avoid Hogwarts School and attend Durmstrang Institute of Magical Arts when she turned 11. This had two advantages: first, it would allow her to steer clear of those Hogwarts classmates, many of whom were likely to be prospective members of the Order of the Phoenix or Death Eaters, which posed a significant danger. This would greatly reduce the chances of encountering Voldemort; second, her three German cousins were all enrolled at Durmstrang, and it was said that they were doing quite well there. By attending that school, they would surely take it upon themselves to look after their little cousin.

Ah, it is our lovely little Abby. You woke up very early today! It can't be just to see me off, can it? That would be too touching!" Mr. Goshak teased.

Abby felt a surge of warmth in her heart—she was very happy—if only Voldemort were not around. However, now the original plan had to be abandoned.

Abby felt very sad about the loss of that brave young life; at the same time, she was also quite agitated, a restlessness stemming from an unknown fear. When reading a novel, one can certainly be leisurely, as it poses no harm to oneself. If she were to be transported to the era of Harry Potter, there would be some reassurance, for with that foolish hero around, the outcome would always be that the good triumph over the evil.

An old bone, what is there to worry about, as long as one seeks to have a clear conscience...

Unfortunately, this news could not be made public; it is evident that the Ministry of Magic exerted pressure on the Daily Prophet, and Mr. Goshawk was powerless to act, which is why last night was so painful

Abby is eager to introduce the Weasley couple to them, as they are excellent examples of "where there is a will, there is a way." They have given birth to six little ones, yet they remained undeterred and fought to the end, ultimately hatching a little daughter. I believe these two couples will have much in common.

Old Goshak walked away, waving his hat as he went, his laughter bright and cheerful, as if he were embarking on a spring outing along a smooth road. However, the Green family knew that he was about to take a perilous and arduous path, determined to pursue the ideals in his heart, ready to face any death without hesitation

A map of Europe was placed in front of Abby, which she had found in her grandfather's study, as she rested her little hands on her cheeks, deep in thought
