Griffin actually knows in his heart that this is probably the last layer of security measures that his son mentioned on the road.
I have to say, it's really powerful. He found a hidden place and tried to use all the Charms he had that could work on this situation, but none of them had any effect.
Although I don't know if Voldemort can see through it, he really can't see through it anyway. Even in a daze, he will feel that there is no house here in the first place and that he has found the wrong place...
Even though he knew that his home was not completely gone, Griffin was still forced to walk back and forth in front of his home for half an hour.
If I hadn't lived here for more than ten years, even if I didn't go out often, my neighbors would all know each other, and the police would probably be here by now.
Just as Griffin was sitting on the road sighing, suddenly a hand grabbed the collar of his neck and pulled him back. He involuntarily fell over into a lawn.
There was no time to get angry about rolling half a circle on the ground. When he saw the familiar scenes around him, Griffin felt tears filling his eyes for a moment. He had never felt that home was so intimate.
"Hey, are you finally willing to come back? I haven't seen anyone for more than an hour. I thought you didn't want this home anymore."
Aivina's voice came from behind. Griffin turned his head and saw his wife leaning at the door, with her arms folded and looking at him with an unkind expression.
I tried to ask my son for help, but he only received a polite smile.
What were you thinking about when you left me alone just now?
After dinner, Manus ignored Griffin's gaze, spoke to Aivina and left home to find Severus and Lily.
Some things should be done sooner rather than later. What if you are hesitating these days and Voldemort comes to your door?
It's not a secret that Hogwarts is on vacation. Maybe some people can make Voldemort turn away rats and choose to kill his family first when the other person is not at home, in order to achieve the purpose of intimidation.
But for the few Hogwarts students who have not graduated, I think if Voldemort really wanted to take action, he would definitely prefer to wait for them to return home from vacation, and then kill them all in one fell swoop.
Since Evans family had more things to do in a while, Manus went to Snape's house first. Their family of three had already finished dinner and were discussing security measures in the restaurant.
When Manus arrived, they were having a heated discussion - pointing out that Mr. Snape firmly refused to add an extra lock to the house, so he had to ask Eileen for help when he went out.
After Manus arrived, he also looked at Manus with a wary expression, and it seemed that he had the intention of taking action.
However, Manus has grown up so fast these days, even if he stands in the team of Hogwarts prospective graduates, he will not look out of place. In addition, Manus has always insisted on physical exercise--
When I was reading a book on British Library before, someone even said that at first glance, he thought he was a rugby player from someone else's family.
Mr. Snape compared his body as a former factory worker, with some muscle marks but also a bunch of old injuries, with the opposite Manus, who was two heads taller than himself, with a vague inverted triangle under his sweater...
"I absolutely disagree! This is my home! What about danger, what Voldemort? Then let him come!"
Mr. Snape gave up more violent resistance, but obviously still maintained an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation.
Manus touched his chin and looked at Severus who said "Destroy it":
"Actually, Mr. Snape is right... so Severus, have you ever considered moving out with Aunt Eileen?"
If Mr. Snape really made up his mind not to take any security measures, could Manus still lock him up? In this case, all Eileen and Severus can do is protect themselves.
It was impossible for Manus to intervene too much. At most, they would have pretended not to notice when the two of them were determined to knock Mr. Snape unconscious and lock them up at home.
The protagonist of the fairy tale doesn't forcefully interfere in other people's family affairs, right?
As for if Eileen and Severus finally decide to give up security measures... then Manus can only respect it.
Fortunately, Severus had no intention of gambling his life with Mr. Snape. Eileen made a decision after hesitating for a while. Even if he still had some old friendship with his husband, after all these years, there was not much left, and it was not as important as the children.
"Okay, I have saved some money over the years, but I need to change it to Pound Sterling first."
The good news is that due to the downturn in traditional factory business, housing prices in Cokeworth are considered very low in Britain, especially in the suburbs.
Take, for example, the abandoned house where Manus and the others lived in Potions Class and the ruins of the building where Secret Base was built. The land prices in those places are so low that they don't look like house prices, but more like buying a second-hand home appliance.
Of course, after buying the land, if you want to clear away the building debris on the original land, build houses, connect water and electricity, tax, etc., then it will be a different price, and the property rights are not permanent.
For Eileen, these are not big problems. Many things can be solved with magic, and no water or electricity is needed. When the Fidelius Charm is set, you will have to remember where this house is before you want to collect taxes.
"Purchasing a house is not something that can be solved in a day. Now that you have made the decision, why not find a safe place to live temporarily?"
Manus explained that he still insisted that safety issues should be dealt with sooner rather than later, and that we should not take chances.
Even if he has arranged detection methods for the entire Cokeworth, these methods are not omnipotent, and it is inevitable that such a large-scale protective measure can only be set to active excitation.
Manus can actively sense the distribution of magical individuals in Cokeworth. You can ask All-Knowing Mirror, but you cannot directly sense it the first time Dark Wizard steps into Cokeworth.
And how long does it take for Voldemort to kill someone?
"Go to a safe place to stay temporarily?"
Eileen is a little hesitant, while Severus is not so hesitant:
"You're talking about your home, right?"
"I don't mind you coming to my house, but what I want to say is actually our Secret Base."
When Severus and Eileen move to Manus's home, the only thing they need to pay attention to is privacy issues. It will still be a little inconvenient, but the advantage is that it is safer.
The Secret Base is safe and can protect privacy, but the comfort may be a little worse.
When Manus built Secret Base, although it was considered to prepare facilities such as a kitchen and a bathroom in Secret Base, it was not equipped with a bath and bedroom - mainly because it was not thought of spending the night here.
The three of them are all good children who will go home on time before dinner, laying the foundation for their night-time travel after entering Hogwarts.
