“……What is your name?”

“Joshua Rockwell.”

“Why don’t you talk during this time?”

“I… I am afraid of Miss Schoen…”

“How much do you know about Helen Schon, the female child?”

“The owner discovered her three years ago… she is different from us. She was already in possession of this terrifying power before being taken to the monastery. She can control them without the help of branding, and it is more than us. Powerful.”

“……anything else?”

“No, I don’t know… then she was taken to another place by the owner…”

Under the influence of Veritaserum, Joshua could no longer keep talking. When Marx began to ask questions step by step, he responded with a sentence.

“So, did you see that night?” Marx asked.

“Yes,” Joshua immediately nodded. “I, I didn’t find that I was lying behind the curtain at the beginning, Miss Schoen. I used to listen to Ms Pomfrey’s command to sleep on the bed that day. But at night, I was I woke up for a while – I saw a huge spider fighting with a black mist.

When he recalled the situation at the time, he still seemed to be trembling in fear.

“At that time, I was thinking, I must have been sent by the Master to come to me. The master must punish me again. But the big spider is very powerful, its ability makes the speed of the black fog slow down a lot… Joshua trembling with fear, “But later, the volume of the black mist suddenly increased several times, and the big spider was knocked out at once!”

Having said that, he is paused, and his whole body is trembled like a sieve.

“I didn’t dare to move at the time,” he feared. “And then… then the black mist suddenly rushed to me and gathered into Miss Schon… I think she must recognize me.”

Marx feels that even if he is afraid, he should not shake this virtue. Perhaps behind a fear of Joshua, there is still a specific experience hidden.

“Why are you so afraid of her? What did she do to you?” Marx asked suddenly.

“I…she…” Joshua seemed to want to grit her teeth, but it made a giggling sound. “Miss Schon once killed my former companion… killed a few! She… she hates Master, and hate us as much!”

“I hate the old man, how much can I understand, but why does she hate you?” Marx wondered.

Joshua grinned and couldn’t stop saying what he was thinking, making him more nervous, and breathing became quick and messy.

“No… I don’t know, I don’t know…” He was intermittent.

“That…what was it before she was taken to the monastery, you know?” Marx shook his head slightly and had to ask another question.

“No, she never talks to us, and we rarely talk to her.”

The inability to conduct interpersonal interactions is one of the characteristics of Obscurus. Although Marx didn’t intend to get too much detailed information, there is nothing to ask about asking, which is a bit too…

“The last question,” Marx thought for a moment. “What do you know about Helen Schon’s mission?”

“Nothing is said,” Joshua replied. “The master sent us to attack the Greek Minos Magic School overnight, and then let Miss Schon pretend to be one of the students.”

Marx is nodded first, but it is slightly frowned.

“It’s not that you don’t know,” but your master simply “no specific order”, is that true?” He thought for a moment, and then he confirmed.

“Yes.” Joshua was sure.

“So, will your master explain to Helen Schon in advance if you don’t know?”

For Marx’s natural guess, Joshua shook his head decisively.

“Impossible…” he explained. “Before that mission, Miss Schon was always performing the last mission. That mission was very sudden – the master was as usual, after coming out of Study, immediately She was recalled urgently. When she returned to the monastery, we immediately rushed to Greece.”

Marx immediately noticed the phrase in Joshua’s words “from the study as usual”, he was thinking, maybe that is to contact Grindelwald?

Just to say that, when Grindelwald was in Nurmengard, he would always communicate with the old man in secret? Do you know Dumbledore about this?

After that, Marx continued to ask a few questions and finally ended the conversation after discovering that there were no other valuable answers.

But he never thought that the next day, Joshua gradually began to speak. Probably for him, yesterday was inexplicable with Marx for a while, you asked me to answer, unexpectedly opened his self-enclosure.

Veritaserum, which was originally used as an interrogation tool, was active in treating mental illness, and Marx was quite surprised.

For this reason, before Marx started asking questions yesterday, the silent spells that were placed around him were also treated as a secret treatment by the young wizards in the ward. Because at the time they only saw Marx and Joshua’s mouth kept moving, but nothing could be heard.

Like this benign misunderstanding of the book, Marx is naturally happy to see it. So when a student praises his treatment for its effectiveness, he is cheeky and gives the default.

“There is nothing wrong with it anyway, isn’t it?” he thought secretly.

……

That evening, after dinner time.

After finishing the notes in the ward, and watching Luna finish eating the sick meal that looked quite good, he finally left the school hospital under the urging of Madam Pomfrey.

Today, it is the turn of the second gathering of the defense team. This kind of activity that can bring more full resistance to Hogwarts will naturally not be ignored.

Although the growth of those young wizards will inevitably take time, if these fine linen can be twisted into a rope, the strength that can be withstood is not to be underestimated.

After all, the main opponents are Voldemort and Grindelwald, but they won’t attack with just two people. Once Marx is against the enemy, the biggest threat will be a lot of dark wizards coming along!

When Marx came to the responsive room, the three Harry, Hermione and Ron had arrived.

“Marx.” Hermione immediately stepped forward and said hello, “Good evening.”

Behind her, Harry and Ron, who had been looking at some Defense Against the Dark Arts books on the shelf, followed them.

“How? Are you okay?” Marx confirmed, “I remember you and Helen were close, this time-“

“Nothing, of course it’s okay.” Hermione was talking, but shook her head slightly. “…No, how could it be okay? But… this time thanks to Ron reminding me and Harry, let’s not waste too much for it. time.”

“Yeah!” Harry also hurried. “If there is no Ron, we don’t know when it will be depressed! It’s not enough time to be clear, but I –“

When Marx heard it, he glanced at Ron subconsciously, only to find that the guy was still embarrassed.

“Don’t say that! If I don’t mention it, you will definitely want to understand soon.” He put on Harry’s shoulder. “I know you, you are not the kind that will put things in your heart, then let yourself An idiot who can’t breathe. To be honest, it’s only the one who used me, that’s it…”

“Don’t be shy, Ron.” Marx smiled. “You’re doing very well! Friends have problems, so remind them as soon as possible – you make me feel real friendship!”

He was a little stopped and thought again: “For this, I think I should give you some gifts.”

“What to say!” Ron quickly ran to Marx, only hesitated a little, and patted him on the shoulder. “Are you not our best friend?”

When Marx couldn’t help but feel so moved, he hehe said: “That, I said buddy… What good things are you going to send me?”

Looking at Ron’s lively look, Marx seemed to see him look at him the first time in The Burrow. Weasley Family’s child, there is a large proportion of this character.

Obviously, Ron has indeed come out of his life, a living creature like his father Arthur, who has awakened from his bones.

“When I think about it,” Marx shrugged said. “Maybe… a big fully automatic gold cauldron is a good choice?”

“Hey!” Ron jumped up. “Isn’t that a gift I gave you before?”

But Harry poked his back.

“Gold cauldron! It’s gold cauldron!” Harry reminded, “not gold-plated, pure gold!”

“Pure – oh – Merlin’s calf!” Ron instantly widened his eyes. “Really? Marx, are you telling the truth?”

“What is true?”

Just as Ron had a good surprise, the door was opened again, and a group of Gryffindor members, such as Neville and Ginny, came in and piled up.

And the question that came out of this sentence was Fred and George, who was at the forefront. The pair of twins was almost at the same time, and even the sounds were stacked together.

“No! Nothing!” Ron shouted with his hands waving.

If they knew about the pure gold cauldron by the pair of big brothers, they would try their best to get their hands and then exchange it with the slightest hesitation to study the funds of their magic prank products.

“Come on! Our time is not enough. The first-timers will immediately begin to show you the results of your self-practice these days…”

Marx no longer talked nonsense, and greeted everyone to check out their learning of rebuilding the spell.
