Chapter 99 Lovegood's Pendant



After hearing what Abernathy said, everyone at the scene started to talk.

After a moment, Auston Greengrass beside Abernathy seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "The wizard who ran away at the beginning?"

After hearing Auston Greengrass's answer, Abernathy nodded slowly, and the other wizards of the Witch Party also suddenly realized.

Without waiting for others to react, Abernathy slammed the table and said sharply:

"You must find this guy for me. Not only in the UK, but also write to our partners in America to see if there is any information about this person. I have a feeling that we will soon know their identity!"

Seeing everyone busy again, Abernathy stopped Auston Greengrass and asked:

"How is the preparation of the new bar owner? Arrange for him to leave London as soon as possible!"

Auston Greengrass said quickly:

"I've already arranged it. I've used my family's connections to buy a wizard bar in Paris, France, and I'm going to arrange for him to go there. In the future, he will be responsible for collecting local intelligence for me in France."

After hearing Auston Greengrass's answer, Abernathy nodded and spoke again:

"We have to hurry. So many wizards have seen him join the Wizarding Party. I don't want to go to Azkaban to get him back!"

Seeing that Auston Greengrass nodded repeatedly in agreement, Abernathy turned his eyes to the other side, where there was a stack of papers, and on top was Rozier's letter! In the letter, Rozier agreed to Rita Skeeter's proposal, and below Rozier's letter were newspapers from several different newspapers.

Abernathy flipped through the newspapers carefully for a long time before he pulled out one and placed it on the top. On the newspaper was the word "The Quibbler" written in bold letters.

The next morning, while Wentworth and Cedric continued their journey to the Shrieking Shack through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, Abernathy also arrived at Ottery St. Catchpole with Auston Greengrass.

"There!"

Abernathy pointed to a huge black cylindrical house on a hill not far away and said.

So, the two of them walked towards the hill together, but when they were halfway there, their way was blocked by someone.

In front of them, there was a girl with silver eyes, dark golden brown hair, and a pair of carrot-shaped earrings, who seemed to be looking for something on the hillside.

Seeing the arrival of Abernathy and Auston Greengrass, the girl spoke softly and asked the two:

"Have you seen my harassment flies?"

Abernathy and Auston Greengrass looked at each other with question marks on their faces.

Abernathy thought he was well-informed, but for a moment, he couldn't react to what the little girl in front of him was saying.

Seeing that the two people in front of him had no reaction, the girl in front of him didn't care. She was just jumping and about to leave. Abernathy quickly stopped her and said in a friendly manner: "Excuse me, do you know where Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood is?"

"Are you here to ask for your royalties?"

Abernathy: ??? Seeing this, Auston Greengrass on the side quickly said: "No, you misunderstood. In fact, we are here to submit an article."

After hearing Auston Greengrass's answer, the girl pointed to the house behind her and said, "My father is working in there. If your article is about goblins or crooked-horned snorks, I think my father would be very interested."

As the girl spoke, she led the two confused people towards the house on the mountain.

When the three of them walked up to the house on the hill, Abernathy and Auston Greengrass quickly retracted their confused expressions, but at this moment, the door was opened from the inside.

"Luna, why do I hear more than one person's footsteps? Did Fudge send his army of fire elves?"

Abernethy frowned and looked at the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler in front of him. Abernethy hated people who were untidy or sloppy.

But the man in front of him had a head of messy white hair like cotton candy. Abernathy continued to look down, and suddenly, his eyes fixed, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the chest of the man in front of him.

The man in front of him who looked a little crazy had a pendant hanging on his chest. The pattern on it was very familiar to Abernathy: a circle in the middle of a triangle with a vertical line running through it.

At this moment, Abernathy also felt the gaze of Auston Greengrass beside him, as if asking him what was going on.

At this moment, after listening to the girl's narration, the man in front of him quickly stretched out his hand to Abernathy and said with an exaggerated expression: "Oh, I never thought that someone would come to submit an article in person. It seems that you must be a loyal reader of our "The Quibbler"! Hello, my name is Xenophilius Lovegood! This is my daughter, Luna Lovegood."

Xenophilius Lovegood shook hands with Abernathy and pointed at the girl next to him and began to introduce them.

However, after the two men shook hands, Xenophilius was surprised to find that Abernathy did not let go of his hand and still held it tightly.

Just as he showed a hint of doubt, Abernathy said, "Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood, can you tell me what this pendant of yours represents?"

Hearing Abernathy's question, Xenophilius Lovegood said with some confusion:

"You mean this? Oh, this is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows! Legend has it that in ancient times, the god of death had three treasures, namely..."

When Abernethy heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. He certainly had no interest in listening to any stories about the god of death. Abernethy just wanted to confirm one thing, that is, whether the owner of the pendant was a Witch or a descendant of the Witch.

The reason for the doubt is that Britain is a little special. In addition, the Wiccan Party swept across Europe and the United States at that time. It had a large number of members, and even many wizards spontaneously wore this symbol and declared that they had joined the Wiccan Party. Abernethy was not sure that he knew every wizard.

However, just by hearing this, Abernathy was already certain that the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler" in front of him was not a member of the WUC, and did not even have the slightest connection with the WUC.

Thinking of this, Abernathy had lost interest in talking to him, let alone listening to his story. Although the man in front of him might be innocent, who made him wear the symbol of the Witch Party without permission? You can only blame your bad luck! (End of this chapter)
