Chapter 26
Isabel also noticed her abnormality and only spoke after taking her home.
"Is the boy missing?"
"Can Auntie see him?"
Isabel shook her head and said:
"I can't see it, but I can feel it a little bit... Do you know something?"
Ayala nodded.
"He said I was a ghost and that I survived somehow. Is that true?"
"Alas, now that things have come to this, I can't hide it from you anymore. You have indeed died once, but the Turner family has a kind of magic. As long as two members of the Turner family are willing to sacrifice their lives, they can exchange it for a dead person to come back to life. However, this person will not have human body temperature and will retain all their previous memories. Moreover, it is unknown when this person will be reborn at what age. This person will never die or grow old, because they do not have a real life."
Ayala listened to this and thought, no wonder she woke up in Gringotts and didn't remember anything after waking up.
"Aunt, you too?"
"Yes, your parents sacrificed their own lives so that you could survive. I'm not your real aunt either. My parents also sacrificed their own lives so that I could survive. I woke up thirty or forty years ago, and you woke up now. Your parents knew that I was in the Turner family and survived in this way, so they asked you to come to me."
Albus said that he seemed to have been cast into Obliviate and had forgotten everything after that. Her sister seemed to have died a long time ago so she remembered herself, but Aberforth and Albus didn't remember her. So, was she of Dumbledore's generation?
She was stunned for a while because she took in too much information. When she realized what was happening, Isabel was no longer there. Now, everything in the past made sense.
After dinner, Ayala returned to her room. The paper cranes that Albus had folded for her were still on the table. They had accumulated dust because no one had touched them for several months. She did not use magic to clean them, but wiped them gently with a cloth.
She found everything in the room that he had touched or given her and put them all in a box. It was painful to look at them, and she felt heartbroken to throw them away, so she just packed them all up and took them with her.
Narcissa calculated the time and sent her an invitation when she had a holiday, inviting her to visit Malfoy Manor. The last time she went there was their wedding.
Narcissa hadn't changed much after not seeing her for a few months, and still looked very happy, but Lucius looked a little gloomy, but since he didn't want to say anything, I didn't ask for the time being.
Narcissa held her hand and talked a lot, but Ayala only listened to half of it. She noticed that Narcissa's hairstyle had changed again. Her hair had always been golden, but now it had turned black on top. Narcissa noticed her gaze and said:
"My new hair color, does it look good? I wanted to tell you in the letter, but on second thought, I decided to give you a surprise."
“How did you get this color?”
"Hair potion, it can change the color, and this color will never change unless you change the hair potion."
As Ayala listened, she thought of Albus's red hair and felt a little moved. If her hair turned the same color, would it be a little more of a trace of his presence?
"Is there a red version of this hair potion?"
Narcissa was stunned for a moment and smiled:
"Of course we have it. We have all kinds of colors. Do you want red hair? But it's easy to ruin it if you do it yourself. I'll make an appointment for you to go to the store and see you at Diagon Alley tomorrow at noon."
Narcissa had always been very attentive to her appearance, and the appointment was made very quickly. When she arrived at Diagon Alley on time the next day, Narcissa had been waiting there for half an hour. When she saw her, she took her hand and held it.
"Why are you here just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Are you sure you're not too early... Hello, Mrs. Lestrange."
Only then did she notice that Bellatrix was standing next to Narcissa. She nodded expressionlessly at Ayala as a greeting.
"My sister came with me because she had something to do in Diagon Alley."
Bellatrix was wearing a long-sleeved lace dress. There was a faint pattern under the lace on her left sleeve. Ayala searched in her mind where she had seen it before, and remembered that it was the Dark Mark. Was Bellatrix a Death Eater?
The history of magic says that Grindelwald is the Dark Lord, and in recent years a new Dark Lord has appeared, called Voldemort, and his followers are called Death Eaters. Many people in the magic world regard his name as a taboo and only call him that person. In recent years, Voldemort has become more and more powerful, and even some Slytherins who are still in school have become Death Eaters. As a Slytherin, she has more or less seen this mark in the lounge.
No one has ever held the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for more than a year. It is said that this is because that person has cursed the position.
As Narcissa pulled her around a corner, Ayala saw a familiar figure walking towards Flourish and Blotts. She patted Narcissa and said,
"Isn't that Professor Longbottom?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bellatrix said something and ran towards Flourish and Blotts, leaving the two of them staring at each other. Narcissa lowered her head and said to her:
"When Cora was little, she often visited our family. She had the best relationship with Bella, but I don't know when they stopped interacting. One time, when Andromeda and I mentioned Cora, she flew into a rage."
After chatting for a while, the two skipped this topic and entered the hair salon. The decoration here was very gorgeous, with pink everywhere. As soon as the two came in, a witch raised her head.
"Hello, Miss Black. This must be the Miss Turner you mentioned in your letter. Please come in."
Narcissa had just had her hair done a few days ago and was not planning to do anything else. She sat aside and read a wizard magazine. After learning the hair color Ayala wanted, the witch took out a red potion and poured it on her head. She chanted a spell that she didn't understand, and soon her golden hair turned red. Narcissa had put down the magazine at some point and came over to her and praised her:
"Red really suits you."
The advantage of going out with Narcissa and Lucius is that you don't have to pay. Both of their families are very wealthy, and her expenses have always been fully covered. This time, she was taken away before she even had the chance to pay for the gold galleons.
Narcissa took her to walk around Diagon Alley for a long time before letting her go home. Thanks to her, Ayala knew for the first time that there were so many shops in Diagon Alley. However, this time she also bought the books she needed for the fifth grade, so she didn't need to go to Diagon Alley again.
