Chapter 162: The Origin Of Fox, Luna And Wayne
The world is so magical that after learning Aberforth's true identity, Qiu...
He still didn't come back to his senses until the big bowl of paste was brought up.
My elder brother is the principal of Hogwarts and the greatest white wizard of this century.
The younger brother is a low-profile bar owner, and he also provides a trading venue for those illegal dark wizards.
The difference is really huge.
"Don't confuse me with him." Aberforth was obviously very experienced in Qiu's state and was used to it.
"He is him and I am me. The only connection between the two of us is that our last name is Dumbledore."
Wayne skillfully brought out the food to Qiucheng, and he took out the cutlery himself.
"Brother is right, just treat him as an ordinary old man with a bad temper."
"You kid..." Aberforth was helpless. He drank too much that day, and when he got confused, he called him brother.
As a result, Wayne still remembers it to this day.
Both of them said this, and Qiu slowly returned to normal.
He looked at the unknown object on the plate, then looked at Wayne who was eating deliciously, and reluctantly took a bite.
The result was surprisingly good.
While eating, Wayne did not forget about business.
"Has everything been found?"
"Basically we have everything, except there is no news about the iron-eating beast. That thing is too outlandish and difficult to deal with.
Aberforth shook his head: "If that doesn't work, go find Scamander, he is the expert in this field.
"Senior Newt has no other options." Wayne finished the last bite, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said regretfully:
"I asked him last year, and he said this thing is strictly controlled."
I just want to raise pandas, why is it so difficult?
Aberforth went upstairs and came down surrounded by a suitcase.
Wayne put it away without even looking at it.
As a black market administrator, Aberforth has access to a wide variety of prohibited items, and Wayne also asked him to buy some materials that are usually not available in Diagon Alley.
"There are as many real dragon skins, forget-me-not beads, mandolins, and African snake bark as you want, so please pay more attention.
Wayne handed over the heavy bag of galleons.
"What do you need so much material for?"
"Polyjuice Potion, Devil's Potion, or some kind of potent poison.
Looking at the number of Galleons inside, Aberforth's eyelids twitched.
This is really not treating him as a good person.
If all the money was exchanged for the materials Wayne wanted, the crime would be enough to send him to death in Azkaban.
02 "Brother, don't show off your shallow knowledge." Wayne smiled:
"Many alchemy experiments also use these materials. I'm not as bad as you think.
"If your senior said this, I would believe it." Aberforth sneered. The boy in front of him was the most unlike Hufflepuff he had ever seen.
But it’s also the most pleasing Hufflepuff.
Only a person with this kind of character will not be fooled by his brother.
After dinner, Wayne originally planned to take Qiu out for a walk, but unfortunately he stayed for a drink.
In desperation, Wayne could only sit for a while longer.
While drinking, the two also chatted.
"Why does the principal have a phoenix, but you don't?"
Qiu blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the old man.
"Do you think the phoenix is a cabbage?" Aberforth pouted while holding the wine bottle: "There is indeed a rumor that when Dumbledore needs help, the phoenix will appear."
"My great-grandfather had one."
"I've heard of it too." Qiu nodded: "This is a symbol of Dumbledore's noble bloodline."
“Originally I thought so too, but later I found out that it was wrong.
Aberforth's voice was deep, and his blue eyes became celestial.
"Only when a member of the Dumbledore family is about to die, can the phoenix appear and deliver a final elegy to them."
Qiu Hua's face turned pale, "Well, then the principal..."
"Don't worry, he won't live long." Aberforth waved his hand: "The phoenix didn't come for him.
"But for...my son."
"Credence Dumbledore, he died in the war against Grindelwald, Fawkes was originally by his side."
"After his death, Fox stayed on.
Wayne had some guesses when watching the movie, but he was convinced after Aberforth said it himself.
"So the principal is Fox's second owner?"
"No." Aberforth denied: "The phoenix is extremely loyal and will only have one master in its life."
"Credence is just a factor in the Phoenix's appearance, but he doesn't recognize him as his master. He just comes to see him off on his last journey."
"For my brother, Fox is the one who truly recognizes him."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wayne left the Pig's Head Bar with Qiu and returned to the castle.
Today's harvest was pretty good. Aberforth talked about a lot of things that happened during the Wizarding War, which gave Wayne a lot more understanding of that era.
Compared with that era, today's wizards can be regarded as degraded.
The overall level cannot be compared with the war years.
This seems to be the consensus of the entire Ministry of Magic, deliberately suppressing the combat effectiveness of wizards.
Only wizards who enter the Ministry of Magic and serve as strikers and Aurors will receive formal combat training.
If another world-scale war breaks out, the poor population of the wizarding society really cannot bear it.
And one of the most important questions, Wayne also got the answer from Aberforth.
Why not execute Grindelwald?
Aberforth's eyes were very complicated at that time.
"Grindelwald lost, but his followers remain."
"To execute him, we will face a counterattack by tens of thousands of powerful wizards. The final result can only be harm to both sides, and even lead to the demise of the wizarding world."
"He does not represent the purest evil, and even I cannot deny that."
"Wayne, what are you thinking about?" Qiu asked, looking at the young man who kept his head down in thought.
"Nothing." Wayne didn't say that he wanted to see what kind of person Grindelwald was. He smiled and said, "Let's go and commemorate Astoria.
Arrive at the door of the Slytherin Common Room.
The little snake passing by was so frightened that his legs weakened when he saw him.
Wayne came here twice, and nothing good happened both times. He rubbed Slytherin's face on the ground and rubbed it hard.
Before he could speak, the student ran into the lounge in a hurry.
"Am I that scary?" Wayne said depressedly.
Fortunately, Malfoy just came back and he saw Astoria.
The girl who received the gift was very happy and thanked Wayne and Qiu repeatedly.
After learning about Astoria's experience, Qiu felt pity for this cute little girl, and the communication between the two was very harmonious.
But the entrance to the lounge is not the place to chat, especially with Wayne still here.
Many Slytherins were afraid that he would suddenly go crazy and block the door again, hiding at the door and watching quietly.
Without saying a few words, the three of them parted.
This is also good. After knowing the relationship between Wayne and Astoria, no one in the first grade dares to bully her.
No one even spoke loudly.
"Lord Peeves, please don't give me the item.
"If you are not sincere enough, please call me Lord Peeves, the King of Pranksters."
"I don't think this is a prank, this is robbery."
After seeing off Qiu, he returned to the tower. As soon as he went down to the corridor on the third floor, Wayne suddenly heard such a conversation.
Turning around the corridor, he saw a blond girl raising her head and looking seriously at Peeves floating in the air.
Hearing that the girl actually questioned his prank, Peeves yelled like an aggrieved child, swinging the necklace made of butterbeer plugs in his hand.
The girl who originally had a calm expression showed a hint of anxiety and worry.
"Peeves."
Wayne spoke calmly, and Peeves' playful movements stopped abruptly, looking at the boy around the corner.
"Lao, Lauren!"
Peeves was so frightened that he almost faded.
"Give the necklace back to Luna." Wayne's eyes widened slightly, and Peeves became even more frightened. He quickly threw the necklace to Luna and ran away yelling.
"Thank you, Lawrence."
The girl carefully put the necklace on her neck and thanked Wayne.
"It's nothing, don't be so polite when dealing with Peeves, he will take advantage of you.
The girl is Luna, who had a relationship with Wayne.
She put on the school robe, but the girl's dress was still so weird.
"Yeah, Peeves always brings us trouble." At this time, a ghost floated out from the wall, it was Sir Nicholas, the ghost of Gryffindor's academy.
"Jazz, nice to meet you." Wayne greeted, and Luna blinked her big bulging eyes.
"Hello, Lawrence." Nick said gently, "This is the first time I have seen Peeves afraid of a little wizard. Before, he was only afraid of Lord Barrow.
Wayne smiled and said nothing.
In order to experiment with the effect of silent fear, he played with Peeves several times.
From then on, whenever he saw Wayne, Peeves was more like the one who saw ghosts.
"Jazz, you seem to have encountered something happy." Luna's mind was sharper and she saw Nick's state.
"Ah, this is what it should be." Nick said slowly, with joy in his tone:
"This Halloween marks the 500th anniversary of my death."
He puffed out his chest and looked noble.
"Did you really die on Halloween?" Wayne raised his eyebrows, "Halloween is a day for saints in the world. Even the executioner is not willing to let his hands be stained with blood."
"Sharp Lawrence," Nick muttered, "You should go to the Ravenclaw with this little girl."
"Actually, as a ghost, I have forgotten the day I died."
"All ghosts are like this, and they set the anniversary of their death on Halloween."
Wayne nodded: "I see, then I wish you a happy death anniversary in advance."
"Thank you." Nico was very happy: "How about you, do you want to attend my death anniversary party? My ghost friends will come from all over the country."
"Oh, by the way, Harry Potter has agreed to participate."
“Perhaps you will also witness me joining the Headless Hunters.
Just as Luna was about to say something, she was stopped by Wayne. The boy still had a formulaic smile:
"Sorry Sir, we have a school dinner to attend."
"I wish you a happy time and success in joining the ranks of the Headless Hunters."
"That's such a pity." Nick shook his head regretfully, and his body floated away again like light smoke.
"Why refuse?" Luna didn't care about her arm being pulled, and looked sideways at the boy:
"Ghosts from all over the country gather together, maybe they will know how to harass the oysters and borers."
"This is for your own good." Wayne said earnestly:
"The ghost's dinner party is different from what you imagine. It's no different from a disco on the grave."
"If you really go, your luck will soon improve in the next period of time.
not too good. "
Luna tilted her head: "So that's it, Lawrence, you saved me again."
"Then how are you going to repay me?" Wayne looked at her with interest.
No matter what expression she made, Astoria always looked aggrieved and pitiful.
But Luna, no matter what state she is in, her expression is very erratic, as if she has been distracted, "If you need anything, please let me know at any time." Luna said lightly:
"But I don't think I can solve the problem that even you can't solve."
"At least I don't see harassment." Wayne managed to identify one of Luna's strengths.
"They are avoiding you. The dark bugs dare not look directly at the blazing sun in the sky."
Halloween day.
A large dark cloud drifted over to Hogwarts, and the Quidditch players who had just gone out for training soon came back in a mess.
The cold rain soaked their robes, and several people shivered with cold and ran to the fireplace.
Cedric complained: "This is the first time it has rained so much lately.
Wayne, who was reading a book by the fireplace, waved his magic wand, and the clothes of several team members became dry instantly.
"Professor Sinistra said last night that it will basically rain or even freezing rain in the next month."
Wayne said softly: "If you want to train, you can buy a waterproof badge. Whoever uses it will know the effect.
"It's too expensive, can you make it cheaper?" Twoley looked bitter:
"Two galleons, that's the money for my date with Lenita next month!" 270
"yes..."
Cedric subconsciously agreed, then realized something was wrong and looked at Twore in shock:
"Who are you talking about, Lenita? Isn't it Imelda?"
Senior Sister Grace who was passing by heard it and laughed jokingly.
"They have been replaced a long time ago. According to Wayne...this is called a transfer. Last time I saw Tewore and Lenita hugging and chewing at the observatory.
“Like two seals fighting over grapes.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Old Twoley's face turned red with embarrassment, and the melon-eaters around him were laughing. Only Cedric stopped laughing in the middle of his laughter.
How many girlfriends has Twoley had so far? He still doesn’t have any!
Cedric was still talking about it until he came to the hall for the dinner.
"I'm not bad either. Why do almost no girls write me love letters? Even if they do, they just...don't mention it."
He's asking Wayne for advice.
In Cedric's opinion, Wayne is Hufflepuff Aquaman, with a girlfriend who can only get in and out, and who is also the most beautiful girl in every grade.
The auditorium has been replaced with a Halloween-exclusive skin.
Pumpkins, ghosts, and bats float in the air.
The noisy students painted their faces and made them into vampires and little devils.
At the guest of honor seat, Lockhart also inserted two horns into his head, and the wand in his hand kept spraying shiny pieces of paper, which fell on Snape's plate.
"Who do you play with every day?" Wayne asked casually after taking a bite of the lamb steak.
"You, Trevor, Fred George, and a few roommates."
"It's over now. The girls probably didn't want to delay you, so they didn't write you a love letter."
"What do you mean?" Cedric became even more confused.
Wayne shrugged: “They think you’re gay [otherwise you don’t have any female friends.
Cedric felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"I'm not!"
"Don't tell me, go tell those girls.
Wayne is really not lying, Qiu told him these, asking him to be careful.
After hearing this, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Ignoring Cedric who started to explain to the girls one by one, Wayne tasted the sumptuous dishes.
Halloween is usually a time of high incidence of accidents, such as the troll incident last year.
But Tom, who was in charge of causing trouble this year, was firmly in his hands, and it was impossible for any accident to happen.
For the peace and harmony of the school, he really paid a lot silently.
Lao Deng really should deduct a few hundred points from him and then double them back.
At the guest of honor, Dumbledore was also smiling, telling Professor McGonagall a new ghost story he had heard.
Although it's not funny or scary at all, Professor McGonagall is obviously well versed in the workplace and his expression is spot on.
"ah!"
At this moment, Trelawney, the divination professor sitting on the edge of the guest chair, suddenly screamed.
Dumbledore followed the sound and his body trembled.
This state...
It is a true prophecy!
Three chapters tomorrow! Let’s make a wave!.
