Chapter 59 The True Know-It-All in the Magic World

"Good evening, Mrs. Collins!" The old lady's voice was very soft, but Andy still heard her voice - even if the cold wind at night could not blow away her voice.

is her!

Bathilda Bagshot!

A famous historian of magic and the author of the History of Magic textbook.

Andy had seen this old lady many times when he visited his grandfather's house before, but he never paid much attention to her.

Well, mostly Andy was a little scared.

After all, the image of this old lady is too scary. She is like the evil old witch in fairy tales, and she may give you a poisonous apple at any time.

It wasn't until Andy studied the history of magic and conducted some research on the authors of the history of magic textbooks that he truly realized how powerful this old man was.

This is a true jack-of-all-trades in the wizarding world.

She is older than Dumbledore and has been studying the history of magic since the last century - not just the history of British magic, but she knows the history of magic in Europe very well.

"What's wrong?" Helen asked.

"nothing."

Andy responded, and then said: "Mrs. Bagshot lives alone, right? I want to go see her tomorrow and bring her some gifts."

"Okay!" Helen nodded.

"Aren't you afraid of her eating children?" Isabel looked at Andy and blinked.

Andy patted the little girl's head angrily.

Andy had indeed scared the little girl like this before, but the little girl was not afraid. She also went to Mrs. Bagshot's house to explore.

Soon, a group of three people came to Andy's grandfather's house.

"Hi! Andy, long time no see. How is life at Hogwarts? Is there anything you're not used to?" Andy's grandfather, Norman Collins, is a very easy-going man. He looks a little fat, but not fat. Just right.

"Everything is fine." Andy stepped forward and gave Norman a hug.

Grandmother Veronica Collins brought some cookies, fruit, and hot cocoa, and they sat around the fireplace and chatted about their past study and life at Hogwarts.

After Kyle got off work, the family had a nice dinner together.

The next morning, Andy took the gifts prepared by Helen and his grandfather Norman's camera, and went out wearing thick clothes.

Andy first went to the war memorial to take a few photos, and then went to the ruins to take a few photos.

There is a wooden sign at the ruins, which contains some blessings in memory of the Potter family. Many wizards in the wizarding world have left messages on it.

Andy decided to give these photos to Harry as a Christmas gift.

These photos are both commemorative and economical, costing not even a penny.

After taking the photos, Andy went all the way to Bathilda Bagshot's home.

Asking your seniors for advice is actually the same as chasing a girl.

First of all, you have to be thick-skinned. Regardless of the relationship, just speak up when you meet. As for whether it will work or not... you won't know until you speak.

If you succeed, you will make a profit, but if you fail, you will not lose.

Thump thump thump!

Andy knocked on the door.

Squeak!

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Bagshot opened the door tremblingly, "Is it little Collins? My child, what can I do for you?"

"Mrs. Bagshot, I'm here to give you a Christmas gift." Andy raised the gift in his hand and gestured.

"You are interested! Come in, kid, it's cold outside." Mrs. Bagshot took a step aside and motioned for Andy to come in.

An old house with some years, a white-haired, wrinkled, and hunchbacked witch is inviting you into her house...

To be honest, this scene is still a bit scary.

At least Andy was a little frightened.

"Thank you, madam!" Andy thanked her and walked in.

There was a fireplace burning in the house, and candles were lit on the surrounding walls, but the light in the house still seemed a little dim. The environment of the house was not too dirty, but Andy still smelled a damp and moldy smell.

Most wizards really don't like cleanliness.

It's something that can be solved with magic, but they just don't clean the room.

Maybe they thought it would appear more mysterious?

Andy stepped on the floor and made a creaking sound. He first placed the gifts he had brought on the table, and then looked around the room.

There is a curved box on the cabinet in the room, and many photos are placed on the box. When Andy looked at the photo, the person in the photo was also looking at Andy.

Andy noticed that the man in one of the photos was very handsome. He had blond hair and a lazy temperament. When Andy looked at him, he winked mischievously at Andy.

"Madam, who is this?" Andy asked curiously.

"That's my great-nephew."

Mrs. Bagshot whispered, "Sit down, child."

"Thank you!" Andy thanked him and found a chair to sit down.

"Madam, where is your grandnephew?"

Andy continued to ask: "Won't he come to spend the holiday with you?"

Being young has advantages.

It is said that children have no inhibitions, and some words spoken by adults will appear very rude. But when it comes from a child's mouth, it is often not taken seriously.

"He can't come."

Mrs. Bagshot seemed unwilling to mention it further. She asked again: "My child, would you like something to drink?"

"Thank you, just a cup of tea." Andy said.

After Mrs. Bagshot brought a cup of hot tea, Andy asked curiously, "Madam, I heard that you and Professor Dumbledore were neighbors before? I'm curious, what was Professor Dumbledore like when he was a child? Was he naughty like other children?"

"Albus!"

Mrs. Bagshot recalled, "The child was very mature. He liked to study magic very much. Every time he came back from Hogwarts for vacation, he would hide in his room alone to read books and write papers."

"His younger brother had quarreled with him several times for this, saying that he neglected to take care of his sister in order to study magic."

Dumbledore has brothers and sisters?

Well, this is normal. Who doesn't have a few relatives in the world!

Andy acted disappointed, "I thought I could hear some embarrassing stories about Professor Dumbledore!"

"Embarrassing stories? Of course there are."

Perhaps because Andy was young, or perhaps because he hadn't talked to anyone for too long, when Andy asked a few questions in a row, Mrs. Bagshot gradually talked more.

She told a lot of interesting stories about Dumbledore's childhood, and she also introduced her nephew to Dumbledore, and they became good friends.

This was actually nothing, just a simple story of two young people becoming friends.

However, when Mrs. Bagshot accidentally revealed the name of her nephew, Andy was completely stunned.
