Chapter 685 3 Broomsticks Bar (Sincere Thanks to the Leader, Naotan Tang)
Alan did not go to the auditorium after leaving the principal's office. Remembering his promise to Godric Gryffindor, he decided to go to Hogsmeade Village - he also called Hermione and Luna, obviously he wanted to go now because it was busy It is no longer possible to have a good meal in the auditorium.
Soon outside the castle, Helena floated behind Luna and floated towards Allen. At the same time, Hermione also ran over from the other direction. She was in the Gryffindor dormitory and rushed over as soon as she received the news from Alan.
When she saw Helena, the gray lady, Hermione stopped for a moment - this should be the daughter of Allen and Luna. Thinking of this, Hermione felt a little angry and sour in her heart. But after seeing the other party's translucent body up close, and thinking about what she knew about Ms. Grey's history, Hermione felt a little sorry for this girl. She died in the most beautiful years and never fully saw the prosperity of the world...
However, Hermione's current presence also made Alan notice that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He planned to find an opportunity to talk to Hermione alone later about Helena. Before, he had only explicitly admitted it to his family at the Ministry of Magic. He still owed Hermione and Penello an explanation for this relationship.
Allen originally wanted to take Hermione and Luna to apparate to Hogsmeade, but he didn't expect that Helena, who had rarely left the castle, also came out with him. Seeing his daughter silently following her mother, Allen thought about being a father. As a ghost of the academy, Helena, who had lost her mortal feelings, should have not left Hogwarts for a long time. He wanted to take his daughter there. Look at Hogsmeade. Young wizards all like Hogsmeade, and Helena should also like it.
Allen waved to Helena, and she just responded by floating a little closer in Allen's direction, "Come and go shopping with us, Helena, you haven't been out for a long time, right?" By the way, although you should have known it for a long time, I would like to formally introduce you to you. This is Hermione Granger of Gryffindor." Then Allen turned to Hermione: "Hermione, I miss you. You can also call her Helena, Ms. Gray is not her real name.”
Hermione was tangled in her heart, and took the initiative to say hello to Helena: "Hello... Helena, you can call me Hermione."
Helena did not respond. She had almost never spoken to anyone in other houses except Ravenclaw. She just maintained her own etiquette and gave Hermione a lady's salute as a greeting - she didn't like to be too close to her father. of women other than mothers.
The atmosphere became quite tense and awkward again.
"By the way, I forgot about what Professor McGonagall was looking for me just now. I'll go back for a while. Don't wait for me." Hermione felt that she was a bit redundant in front of a family of three. She didn't want to ruin the other party's reunion moment and thought of an excuse. Get away.
Luna grabbed Hermione and tilted her head and smiled at her: "Don't worry Hermione, I think you also know that Helena doesn't like to talk very much. As for Professor McGonagall, you can find her when you come back. , let’s go have a meal first—the auditorium now smells of shit and eggs.”
"Let's go together, Hermione. I'll tell you a few things in a moment." Allen once again extended the invitation to Hermione in a gentle voice. After receiving a reluctant nod from the other party, he took the lead to walk out.
Like splashing and pouring, the rain seemed to never stop. Allen cast a waterproof and moisture-proof spell superimposed with super magic skills on several people, so that the effective range of the small spell that was originally only used on glasses or bathroom glass was expanded. He expanded it to cover himself and Hermione Luna, and then took out the temporary teaching wand, deforming the tip of it and turning it into a rather large black umbrella. He waved and let the girls and the female ghost come in.
Ron, who had just rescued his sister Ginny with Harry from the hall that smelled of feces, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene. Why did Mrs. Gray, who had never left the castle, follow them? Outside? Thinking of Luna's performance and pressure on the night of the Ministry of Magic battle, Ron couldn't help but wonder whether the rumor was true. Could Luna really be Ravenclaw?
He hurriedly shooed his little sister back to the Gryffindor dormitory, then called out to Harry, Neville and Flagg, who had been quite close to him in the past few days due to previous incidents, and started to follow them with him. Behind Allen's group.
"We..." After he finished speaking, Neville realized that his voice was a bit loud, and he lowered his voice, "Why are you following Alan and the others?"
Harry also asked Ron: "Ron, what do you think is wrong with Allen..."
At this time, Ron felt a little helpless at the loud voice of the Lion House: "Please keep your voice down, it's not Ellen Harris, it's the crazy girl! Think about the feeling that the crazy girl made that night! And Ms. Gray a few years ago I have a weird relationship with her, now that I think about that rumor, doesn’t it make sense?”
"If you don't take me there, I'll tell Professor McGonagall!" Ginny rushed up from behind them. Even if she didn't want to, Ron had to let his sister join in. As a member of the Ministry of Magic that night, Ginny, a member of the principal's office, isn't about to give up on this adventure and investigation either.
This was not due to hostility towards Allen, but rather Gryffindor's adventurous spirit of exploring gossip and secrets.
However, their stealth ability was obviously a bit poor. Even Hermione heard their movements before a few Gryffindors entered her Legilimency range, and looked helplessly at Ellen Luna. He shook his head and let their actions go - this at least made Hermione feel that because of his friends and classmates, the awkward atmosphere in her group had eased a bit.
Being a ghost is not without its benefits. Helena looked at the surrounding scenery expressionlessly, and at the same time felt that it was great that she did not have to set foot on the muddy path. If her father hadn't asked her to stay under the umbrella, she could have ignored the pouring rain - but the feeling of being pampered was not bad.
As if deliberately going against them, the rain stopped immediately after they arrived in Hogsmeade.
Allen took them directly to the Three Broomsticks Bar. In Hogsmeade, there is also the Pig's Head Bar that can serve drinks. However, when Allen thought that the owner of the pub was Dumbledore's brother Aberforth? Dumbledore, thinking of the tattered wooden sign hanging on the rusty bracket on the door, the rough-tasting drinks and food at their house, and the people of all walks of life, decided to go to a place more popular with students. Dining at the Three Broomsticks Bar.
It was not the time for students to go to Hogsmeade. Due to the weather, Hogsmeade Village seemed much deserted than usual, except for some wizards who came to purchase in a hurry and Aurors patrolling in the rain. , it was the unhurried Allen and the Gryffindor five behind them.
Allen pushed open the door of the Three Broomsticks Bar, and Hermione and Luna got in with Helena. After turning the umbrella back into a wand, Allen shook the water to clean it, and followed closely after putting it away. , unlike the crowded, noisy, hot and smoky situation in the past, there were only a few customers in the bar at this time.
After arranging the girls to sit down, Allen walked to the bar a few steps away. Ms. Rosmerta, who had a curvaceous appearance, was taking a nap. When she noticed Allen's approach, her eyes lit up. She swayed her body and walked forward to say hello: " Hey, Professor Ellen Harris, have you returned to Hogwarts? What brought you here? Ah...is that Ms. Grey?"
"Hello, Ms. Rosmerta, it's unfortunate to say that something unexpected happened in the Great Hall of Hogwarts - don't worry, it's not a bad thing, so my friends and I came over to have some food." Allen held his hand gently He took the hand that the other party extended, politely shook it slightly and then let go, "And when you leave, please get me a few barrels of wine. If you want real wine, just give me the oak barrels."
Rosmerta's slender fingers met. She twisted slightly and changed into a comfortable position. She maintained a slight smile on the surface but was actually a little scared and worried in her heart: "Okay, no problem, Ellen Harris. Sir, are you buying this wine for the Minister? It is really my honor, but please forgive me, I have to make sure there is still stock in the wine cellar later... You know, UU Reading www.uukanshu. nnet has been a bit rough lately so I haven’t ordered too many.”
"Oh, don't worry Ms. Rosmerta, you are not from the Flint family." Allen saw through her mind. He was not allowed to drink when he was underage, so he explained: "Even if you want to fish and enforce the law, I want to There is no need for me to come forward in person. I just get along well with the giant squid in the black lake. He told me that he likes to drink, so I decided to send a few barrels there every day. If you are still worried, you can send someone to help us later. Send it over..."
"Oh, you misunderstood Professor Harris, I just..." Rosmerta twisted her body, her slightly raised eyes flashed, and did not continue to struggle, nor did she ask Allen what to call the giant squid in the black lake. Turning into his doubt, she rested her upper body on the table to make her curves more obvious, and then pushed the menu over: "So, dear Professor Harris, what kind of wine does the giant squid like?"
Allen's eyes scanned the menu. He actually didn't like alcohol too much, but preferred to keep a clear head: "Forget about the non-alcoholic butter beer, red currant rum and fish." A barrel of green beer, oh? You also have American-style grog? A barrel of this... Ms. Rosmerta, we will be working together in this business for a lot longer than you think - later I'll send my house elves to pick up three barrels every day, and you'd better prepare more flavors."
"This is really good news in times like this. What do you want to eat today? I will cook it for you myself later." Ms. Rosmerta lowered her body, which made her smile look bigger. Sincere and seductive.
Hermione, who was sitting at the table on one side, noticed this scene, frowned and couldn't help but stood up. She quickly walked to the bar and said to Allen: "Alan, you go and take a look at the menu first. , I will discuss the price."
