On the afternoon of March 10, Felix showed up with a small note with an address written on it. In front of him was a beautiful little house. He stood on the steps and looked left and right. The surrounding environment was very empty. Felix smelled the faint fragrance of flowers. He estimated that there must be a beautiful garden behind the house.
Felix knocked on the door.
The man who opened the door was a man with blond hair and a big belly, who looked at Felix suspiciously.
"Hello, who are you looking for—" the man asked, suddenly startled, "Oh, are you Mr. Heap, Felix Heap?" After getting a positive answer, he led Felix away Enter the house and go to the living room. .
"Sorry, didn't recognize it! I have to say--you seem too low-key compared to your enormous fame, I haven't seen it a few times in the papers. Yes, Dora told me you would come, but I I didn't expect it to be two hours earlier—a lot of mile? A guest came."
The man stood in the living room and shouted down an aisle, then he looked at Felix and held out his hand kindly.
I'm Ted Tonks, Dora's father. "
"Hello, Mr. Tonks, Felix Happ." Felix shook hands, looked around the cleaning tools in the hall, and said with a hint of embarrassment: "I think I may have misremembered the time..."
"Oh, it's alright," said Mr. Tonks, picking up Mrs. Skoll's Magnum Magic Stain Remover at his feet and placing it next to the potted plant on the table, "Dora and the others won't be here until seven o'clock in the evening. She's an Auror with a lot of responsibility."
"Is this a leaf orchid?" Felix asked, staring at the potted plant. This is a perennial evergreen herb. Because the berries are shaped like spider eggs, and the underground rhizomes exposed to the soil are similar to spiders, it still has A name "spider holding eggs".
"That's right, it—" Mr. Tonks was interrupted by footsteps, Felix and Mr. Tonks turned around at the same time, and a strange woman appeared at the door of the living room, suddenly looking like Bellatrix. Blake is somewhat similar, but her hair is soft beige instead of black, and her eyes are larger and kinder.
There is no doubt that this woman is Andromeda Tonks, of the Black family, sister to Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, but she is now Tonks' mother .
Mrs Tonks smiled at Felix, then exchanged a glance with Mr Tonks.
"This is Mr. Felix Hepp," said Mr. Tonks.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Hepp, Nymphadora mentioned it several times..." said Mrs. Tonks. "I was in the kitchen just now. You came early enough, though."
So Felix took out the excuse of "remembering the wrong time" again.
Mrs Tonks nodded reluctantly. "Sit down, please," she said. "I'm going to prepare tea. Ted, Ted, help me." "Oh, oh, okay." Mr. Tonks Turning to look at Felix, he muttered, "I do remember that I have some tea in my collection. Come back soon! You can read the newspaper first, it's on the table."
Felix nodded lightly and watched them disappear into the corridor. He leaned over to pick up the newspaper beside him, and pricked up his ears to listen. Unsurprisingly, in one corner of the room—perhaps the kitchen, or the bedroom—there was a small argument.
"...I know why...be a lobbyist, don't tell me about the war, it's over...I warn you, Ted Tonks, if you dare to agree..."
Felix shook the newspaper quietly, and the news that deserves attention is that the Minister of Magic, Ms. Burns, returned from the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, during which she participated in several important meetings with representatives from all over the world.
Details of the meeting have not been released to the public.
There has been some speculation in the newspapers that the biggest possibility has to do with a law for exclusive wands, which may become a reality within a few years. There was also a photo hanging on the newspaper. A dozen or so rigid figures stood together, and the new chairman, Babajid Akinbad, had a tired look on his face.
A few minutes later, Mr. Tonks came back with his head down, his expression resembling the Babajid in the newspaper. When he came over, he bumped into the table and couldn't help screaming in pain. The potted plant was swaying, and he quickly supported it.
"Knocked off a few leaves." He glanced and whispered, sitting down, "then- uh-"
"Oh, Mr. Tonks." Felix put down the newspaper and said, "I only remember when there is something." As he said, he stretched out his hand, and the two fallen leaves in the potted plant turned into two beautiful invitations.
"I'm planning to hold a small press conference this weekend. It's kind of a party. If you're okay, you can go and see it."
Mr. Tonks took the invitation and whispered: "The press conference? That should be at the headquarters of Future World's company? I think... um, there may be a problem, it's not convenient." His voice lowered, and he began to concentrate Read the introduction above.
After a while, he raised his head.
"Mr. Hepp, I don't quite understand—witnessing the birth of a new type of treatment with the guests, and discussing the causes of some of the diseases that plague wizards'..." He read out a passage, and then asked, "Sounds serious academic report."
"Almost, I invited quite a few well-known pharmacists and healers in their fields, and even some alchemists." Felix said with a smile, "but it was essentially a party, because I didn't expect these People can understand what I'm saying in a short period of time, the conference will last for a week, of course, you are attending the dinner party on the first day, and the main purpose is to socialize."
"By the way, I overheard Tonks mention that you know something about Muggle medicine?"
"Ah, you say this," said Mr. Tonks cheerfully. "My uncle is a surgeon, and I used to go to his house when I was a child," he said cheerfully. "He has a study in his house. There were all kinds of surgical models in it, and I was so frightened at the time..."
Felix listened with a smile and said, "It's a coincidence that the new treatment I mentioned may introduce the concept of Muggle surgery. To my surprise, wizards seem to be quite reluctant to use knives on themselves."
Mr. Tonks patted his thigh excitedly.
"Oh, I thought so too! I always thought Madam Pomfrey could only deal with minor injuries when I was in school, and it was only after I went to St. Mungo's a few times after graduation that I realized that wizards don't have this concept. Of course, I think it's because magic is too convenient to use..."
The Muggle-born wizard looked like he had found the same topic.
"Anatomy," Felix said softly. "This discipline has no application in the field of healing, because for wizards the problems that plague Muggles can be solved with a simple magic... There are some applications left in the realm, and they do detailed drawing and potion testing as they research new potion materials."
"But does it really work?" asked Mr. Tonks curiously, "I mean, in therapy?
I've talked to some wizards about this and they think Muggle doctors are a bunch"
"The madman who cuts people apart." Felix nodded and said, "I personally think it's a matter of positioning. Given the differences between the two societies, the surgical knowledge that is very important to ordinary people may only play the role of filling wizard therapy. The role of means that complements means. But having and not having is a different concept.”
"for example-"
"Dragon pox, a disease that spreads only among wizards, is deadly. Early symptoms are a green and purple rash between the toes and sparks from the nostrils when sneezing. If treated promptly, the general All healed, leaving some unsightly scars or skin bruises at best.”
Mr. Tonks nodded in confusion.
"I remember there was a Minister of Magic who died of dragon pox?"
"Edrich Diggory, who worked sick and died in the office. The disease is more common in older people, and it's more insidious and therefore more dangerous. Some therapists believe that dragon pox Originally related to the Peruvian Vipertooth.
Felix was prepared to say.
"Peruvian fangtooth teeth are highly poisonous," reminded Mr. Tonks.
"It's true for wizards in general," Felix explained, "so it could be diluted toxins, or sleeping fluids, or parasites, pathogenic bacteria that haven't been found on them yet. "Then he changed his words. "But I found a patient with advanced dragon pox in St. Mungo's.
Out of curiosity, I checked his condition, and unfortunately he was out of medicine at the time. He was bruised all over - of course, this was just a small problem, the real fatal thing was that his magic power also became a mess, and some unknown mutation occurred, which made all the existing treatment methods ineffective. "
"That man must be in pain," muttered Mr. Tonks.
"I suspect that there are many hidden wounds in the late-stage dragon pox patients. In fact, the bodies of those wizards may have been riddled with holes." Felix said slowly.
"Hidden wounds?"
"I found a relatively similar example. The body structure of magical animals is different from that of wizards. Their magical abilities are more based on the special lines in the body. These lines are integrated with the flesh and blood texture and are difficult to detect, but they are The channel through which magic power flows, or the magic power circuit. Therefore, magical animals do not need to learn to cast spells like little wizards."
"So it is." Mr. Tonks said suddenly.
"...But this kind of disease is undoubtedly harmful to wizards. Some of the patterns are disorganized, and the result is life-threatening, such as dragon pox; some have reached a strange coexistence with wizards, which is influential but not fatal, such as werewolves."
Mr. Tonks took a breath.
There was a scream from the door, it was Mrs Tonks, the teapot in her hand fell. Felix waved his hand and let the teapot fall on the seat.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Hepp," said Mrs. Tonks in an unnatural tone, and she listened for a while at the door. She walked over cautiously and put down the cup, "So, can the werewolf problem be cured?\"
"Good question. I found and isolated the pattern of lesions that affect werewolves, and combined with what I said earlier, there is actually a lot of hope for a breakthrough. Of course, I'm not an expert in this area, hence this weekend's party."
"It sounds very convincing, Mr. Hepp, I can't find a loophole." After a long while, Mrs. Tonks said in a flat tone, "but you can't deny that all this is just a theory, a castle in the air... Even if the theory is correct, it is necessary to I don’t know how many years have passed since it became a reality.”
Even though the conversation was close to the heart of it, and both parties knew it, neither of them mentioned that name.
"I agree, Mrs Tonks."
Felix said in a slightly pleasant tone, as if everything was going well in his opinion.
"In the field of healing, especially the part related to potions, I may not be able to get involved or make any pioneering results. But don't forget, I am an ancient magician expert, and I always learn from ancient Think about the problem from the perspective of Rune. Fortunately, some results have been achieved so far... Although it is extremely difficult and not suitable for large-scale promotion, it is still possible to use it on one or two people to solve some difficult problems. Do you want to listen? ?"
Mrs. Tonks pursed her lips, and for a long time she said coldly: "You're such a good lobbyist, Mr. Hepp—I'd love to listen."
Half an hour later, Felix, accompanied by Mr. Tonks, toured the rooms in the house.
"This is Dora's childhood toy." Mr. Tonks said, pointing to the row of plush dolls on the shelf. "There were originally a lot of humanoid dolls, but when we realized that she was trying to imitate the doll's character expressions, we changed them all. She has become a small animal, mostly rabbits and bears. But her aesthetic still has some deviations, she obviously prefers violet or pink hair, rather than her own gray brown." He said with some injuries.
Felix knew in his heart that Tonks' original hair color had clearly inherited the characteristics of both parents - a balance between light brown and blonde, but she was obviously not satisfied.
They came to the garden in the courtyard.
Mr. Tonks dutifully introduced all kinds of plants, "You've seen pink, purple here - we've planted a lot of violets, and there are all kinds of them. See that hollow in the middle? Not now. It’s so pretty, it’s kind of ugly, but when it’s raining, it’ll fill up with water, and we’ll choose to plant some aquatic plants, such as water hyacinths. Oh my god, it’s purple again, and I just realized…”
At this time, there was a commotion in the house behind them.
"Someone's coming," said Mr. Tonks suspiciously.
"Is it Tonks?" Felix asked.
"I don't think so, it's still early, and it's more than an hour before Dora gets off work...that's weird," said Mr. Tonks, walking towards the house. They faintly heard voices.
Felix followed, rolling his eyes, he probably guessed who was coming.
"Hello, Sirius." As soon as they entered the door, they heard Mrs. Tonks' annoyed voice,
"There is no need to send so many things, the living room can't fit at all."
Then they heard a hearty laugh.
"Oh, you're welcome, my dear cousin. And I know Remus so well, I can't believe he's ahead of me." Mr. Tonks suddenly slowed down, and even became a little creepy.
He quietly opened a gap through the back door, making Sirius' overzealous voice clearer.
"...cousin, when it comes to Remus, he's one of the few people I admire, brave and kind,
Always give priority to others, I can swear, the people he has taken care of over the years are absolutely beyond imagination, even if he himself is poor, well, I mean, once, he is very rich now, he can be completely in the opposite corner Lane to buy a house...\"
Felix passed over Mr. Tonks' shoulders and saw Sirius talking with a grin. He was very formal today, in a straight suit, with a green handkerchief with silver thread in his breast pocket, embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief. Has the coat of arms of the Black family.
It looks like a best man~www.novelhall.com~ but Felix isn't sure if the look is counterproductive or the reason for Sirius's increasingly blatant insinuations. Because Mrs. Tonks' face became more and more gloomy, her fingers rubbed the soup spoon,
He seemed ready to lift it up and knock his cousin on the head at any moment.
Felix wanted to pretend he didn't see it in order to avenge the revenge that Sirius had framed him, but he cleared his throat, considering the stability of Future World's company for decades to come.
Sirius stopped talking and turned around in astonishment.
\"Felix? Why are you here so early?"
"What else," Mrs. Tonks said with a stern face, "Of course it's for the same purpose as you.
More than an hour later, when Tonks, who was in love with love, came back with a restrained Lupin, the two were surprised to find that they were treated not warmly, but definitely not cold, even when they were young. There was a smile on Mrs. Tonks' mouth when Sirius deliberately brought up childhood memories.
After dinner, they said goodbye and left. Lupin walked out of Tonks' house with light footsteps, his face half incredulous and half rejoicing for the rest of his life.
When they were about to part, Sirius patted him on the shoulder. For a moment, Lupin seemed to understand something, and his eyes were wet. He hugged Sirius hard, took a long time to let go, then turned to Felix.
"Felix, this birthday is my one\"
"Work hard," Felix said destructively. Sirius on the side rolled his eyes.

Because the berries are shaped like spider eggs, and the underground rhizomes exposed to the soil are similar to spiders, it still has A name "spider holding eggs"."That's right, it" Mr. Tonks was interrupted by footsteps, Felix and Mr. Tonks turned around at the same time, and a strange woman appeared at the door of the living room, suddenly looking like Bellatrix. Blake is somewhat similar, but her hair is soft beige instead of black, and her eyes are larger and kinder.There is no doubt that this woman is Andromeda Tonks, of the Black family, sister to Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, but she is now Tonks' mother .Mrs Tonks smiled at Felix, then exchanged a glance with Mr Tonks."This is Mr. Felix Hepp," said Mr. Tonks."Oh, hello, Mr. Hepp, Nymphadora mentioned it several times..." said Mrs. Tonks. "I was in the kitchen just now. You came early enough, though."So Felix took out the excuse of "remembering the wrong time" again.Mrs Tonks nodded reluctantly. "Sit down, please," she said. "I'm going to prepare tea. Ted, Ted, help me." "Oh, oh, okay." Mr. Tonks Turning to look at Felix, he muttered, "I do remember that I have some tea in my collection. Come back soon! You can read the newspaper first, it's on the table."Felix nodded lightly and watched them disappear into the corridor. He leaned over to pick up the newspaper beside him, and pricked up his ears to listen. Unsurprisingly, in one corner of the roomperhaps the kitchen, or the bedroomthere was a small argument."...I know why...be a lobbyist, don't tell me about the war, it's over...I warn you, Ted Tonks, if you dare to agree..."Felix shook the newspaper quietly, and the news that deserves attention is that the Minister of Magic, Ms. Burns, returned from the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, during which she participated in several important meetings with representatives from all over the world.Details of the meeting have not been released to the public.There has been some speculation in the newspapers that the biggest possibility has to do with a law for exclusive wands, which may become a reality within a few years. There was also a photo hanging on the newspaper. A dozen or so rigid figures stood together, and the new chairman, Babajid Akinbad, had a tired look on his face.A few minutes later, Mr. Tonks came back with his head down, his expression resembling the Babajid in the newspaper. When he came over, he bumped into the table and couldn't help screaming in pain. The potted plant was swaying, and he quickly supported it."Knocked off a few leaves." He glanced and whispered, sitting down, "then- uh-""Oh, Mr. Tonks." Felix put down the newspaper and said, "I only remember when there is something." As he said, he stretched out his hand, and the two fallen leaves in the potted plant turned into two beautiful invitations."I'm planning to hold a small press conference this weekend. It's kind of a party. If you're okay, you can go and see it."Mr. Tonks took the invitation and whispered: "The press conference? That should be at the headquarters of Future World's company? I think... um, there may be a problem, it's not convenient." His voice lowered, and he began to concentrate Read the introduction above.After a while, he raised his head."Mr. Hepp, I don't quite understandwitnessing the birth of a new type of treatment with the guests, and discussing the causes of some of the diseases that plague wizards'..." He read out a passage, and then asked, "Sounds serious academic report.""Almost, I invited quite a few well-known pharmacists and healers in their fields, and even some alchemists." Felix said with a smile, "but it was essentially a party, because I didn't expect these People can understand what I'm saying in a short period of time, the conference will last for a week, of course, you are attending the dinner party on the first day, and the main purpose is to socialize.""By the way, I overheard Tonks mention that you know something about Muggle medicine?""Ah, you say this," said Mr. Tonks cheerfully. "My uncle is a surgeon, and I used to go to his house when I was a child," he said cheerfully. "He has a study in his house. There were all kinds of surgical models in it, and I was so frightened at the time..."Felix listened with a smile and said, "It's a coincidence that the new treatment I mentioned may introduce the concept of Muggle surgery. To my surprise, wizards seem to be quite reluctant to use knives on themselves."Mr. Tonks patted his thigh excitedly."Oh, I thought so too! I always thought Madam Pomfrey could only deal with minor injuries when I was in school, and it was only after I went to St. Mungo's a few times after graduation that I realized that wizards don't have this concept. Of course, I think it's because magic is too convenient to use..."The Muggle-born wizard looked like he had found the same topic."Anatomy," Felix said softly. "This discipline has no application in the field of healing, because for wizards the problems that plague Muggles can be solved with a simple magic... There are some applications left in the realm, and they do detailed drawing and potion testing as they research new potion materials.""But does it really work?" asked Mr. Tonks curiously, "I mean, in therapy?I've talked to some wizards about this and they think Muggle doctors are a bunch""The madman who cuts people apart." Felix nodded and said, "I personally think it's a matter of positioning. Given the differences between the two societies, the surgical knowledge that is very important to ordinary people may only play the role of filling wizard therapy. The role of means that complements means. But having and not having is a different concept."for example-""Dragon pox, a disease that spreads only among wizards, is deadly. Early symptoms are a green and purple rash between the toes and sparks from the nostrils when sneezing. If treated promptly, the general All healed, leaving some unsightly scars or skin bruises at best.Mr. Tonks nodded in confusion."I remember there was a Minister of Magic who died of dragon pox?""Edrich Diggory, who worked sick and died in the office. The disease is more common in older people, and it's more insidious and therefore more dangerous. Some therapists believe that dragon pox Originally related to the Peruvian Vipertooth.Felix was prepared to say."Peruvian fangtooth teeth are highly poisonous," reminded Mr. Tonks."It's true for wizards in general," Felix explained, "so it could be diluted toxins, or sleeping fluids, or parasites, pathogenic bacteria that haven't been found on them yet. "Then he changed his words. "But I found a patient with advanced dragon pox in St. Mungo's.Out of curiosity, I checked his condition, and unfortunately he was out of medicine at the time. He was bruised all over - of course, this was just a small problem, the real fatal thing was that his magic power also became a mess, and some unknown mutation occurred, which made all the existing treatment methods ineffective. ""That man must be in pain," muttered Mr. Tonks."I suspect that there are many hidden wounds in the late-stage dragon pox patients. In fact, the bodies of those wizards may have been riddled with holes." Felix said slowly."Hidden wounds?""I found a relatively similar example. The body structure of magical animals is different from that of wizards. Their magical abilities are more based on the special lines in the body. These lines are integrated with the flesh and blood texture and are difficult to detect, but they are The channel through which magic power flows, or the magic power circuit. Therefore, magical animals do not need to learn to cast spells like little wizards.""So it is." Mr. Tonks said suddenly."...But this kind of disease is undoubtedly harmful to wizards. Some of the patterns are disorganized, and the result is life-threatening, such as dragon pox; some have reached a strange coexistence with wizards, which is influential but not fatal, such as werewolves."Mr. Tonks took a breath.There was a scream from the door, it was Mrs Tonks, the teapot in her hand fell. Felix waved his hand and let the teapot fall on the seat."Oh, thank you, Mr. Hepp," said Mrs. Tonks in an unnatural tone, and she listened for a while at the door. She walked over cautiously and put down the cup, "So, can the werewolf problem be cured?\""Good question. I found and isolated the pattern of lesions that affect werewolves, and combined with what I said earlier, there is actually a lot of hope for a breakthrough. Of course, I'm not an expert in this area, hence this weekend's party.""It sounds very convincing, Mr. Hepp, I can't find a loophole." After a long while, Mrs. Tonks said in a flat tone, "but you can't deny that all this is just a theory, a castle in the air... Even if the theory is correct, it is necessary to I don't know how many years have passed since it became a reality.Even though the conversation was close to the heart of it, and both parties knew it, neither of them mentioned that name."I agree, Mrs Tonks."Felix said in a slightly pleasant tone, as if everything was going well in his opinion."In the field of healing, especially the part related to potions, I may not be able to get involved or make any pioneering results. But don't forget, I am an ancient magician expert, and I always learn from ancient Think about the problem from the perspective of Rune. Fortunately, some results have been achieved so far... Although it is extremely difficult and not suitable for large-scale promotion, it is still possible to use it on one or two people to solve some difficult problems. Do you want to listen? ?"Mrs. Tonks pursed her lips, and for a long time she said coldly: "You're such a good lobbyist, Mr. HeppI'd love to listen."Half an hour later, Felix, accompanied by Mr. Tonks, toured the rooms in the house."This is Dora's childhood toy." Mr. Tonks said, pointing to the row of plush dolls on the shelf. "There were originally a lot of humanoid dolls, but when we realized that she was trying to imitate the doll's character expressions, we changed them all. She has become a small animal, mostly rabbits and bears. But her aesthetic still has some deviations, she obviously prefers violet or pink hair, rather than her own gray brown." He said with some injuries.Felix knew in his heart that Tonks' original hair color had clearly inherited the characteristics of both parents - a balance between light brown and blonde, but she was obviously not satisfied.They came to the garden in the courtyard.Mr. Tonks dutifully introduced all kinds of plants, "You've seen pink, purple here - we've planted a lot of violets, and there are all kinds of them. See that hollow in the middle? Not now. It's so pretty, it's kind of ugly, but when it's raining, it'll fill up with water, and we'll choose to plant some aquatic plants, such as water hyacinths. Oh my god, it's purple again, and I just realizedAt this time, there was a commotion in the house behind them."Someone's coming," said Mr. Tonks suspiciously."Is it Tonks?" Felix asked."I don't think so, it's still early, and it's more than an hour before Dora gets off work...that's weird," said Mr. Tonks, walking towards the house. They faintly heard voices.Felix followed, rolling his eyes, he probably guessed who was coming."Hello, Sirius." As soon as they entered the door, they heard Mrs. Tonks' annoyed voice,"There is no need to send so many things, the living room can't fit at all."Then they heard a hearty laugh."Oh, you're welcome, my dear cousin. And I know Remus so well, I can't believe he's ahead of me." Mr. Tonks suddenly slowed down, and even became a little creepy.He quietly opened a gap through the back door, making Sirius' overzealous voice clearer."...cousin, when it comes to Remus, he's one of the few people I admire, brave and kind,Always give priority to others, I can swear, the people he has taken care of over the years are absolutely beyond imagination, even if he himself is poor, well, I mean, once, he is very rich now, he can be completely in the opposite corner Lane to buy a house...\"Felix passed over Mr. Tonks' shoulders and saw Sirius talking with a grin. He was very formal today, in a straight suit, with a green handkerchief with silver thread in his breast pocket, embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief. Has the coat of arms of the Black family.It looks like a best man~www.novelhall.com~ but Felix isn't sure if the look is counterproductive or the reason for Sirius's increasingly blatant insinuations. Because Mrs. Tonks' face became more and more gloomy, her fingers rubbed the soup spoon,He seemed ready to lift it up and knock his cousin on the head at any moment.Felix wanted to pretend he didn't see it in order to avenge the revenge that Sirius had framed him, but he cleared his throat, considering the stability of Future World's company for decades to come.Sirius stopped talking and turned around in astonishment.\"Felix? Why are you here so early?""What else," Mrs. Tonks said with a stern face, "Of course it's for the same purpose as you.More than an hour later, when Tonks, who was in love with love, came back with a restrained Lupin, the two were surprised to find that they were treated not warmly, but definitely not cold, even when they were young. There was a smile on Mrs. Tonks' mouth when Sirius deliberately brought up childhood memories.After dinner, they said goodbye and left. Lupin walked out of Tonks' house with light footsteps, his face half incredulous and half rejoicing for the rest of his life.When they were about to part, Sirius patted him on the shoulder. For a moment, Lupin seemed to understand something, and his eyes were wet. He hugged Sirius hard, took a long time to let go, then turned to Felix."Felix, this birthday is my one\""Work hard," Felix said destructively. Sirius on the side rolled his eyes.Please remember the first domain name of this book: . Mobile version update fastest URL:
