Chapter 170 The Riddler Old Tom

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Squeak——

The wooden door full of time was pushed open by Xifa.

A wave of turbid air hit my face.

Beside him, Cassandra wrinkled her nose, and her pretty face made this strange look, so cute!

Entering the door of the bar, Xifa used an air purifying spell on himself.

This spell is useless and cannot purify most toxins.

The only dazzling effect is to make all the miscellaneous smells in the air disappear!

Seeing that Cassandra was already shaky, Xifa quickly cast an air purifying spell on her.

Come to life!

Seeing Cassandra with a relaxed look on her face and breathing heavily, Xifa burst into laughter.

Forgot to tell her, let her hold her breath.

Once you enter this door, you are in the magical world, and there is no big problem in using magic.

...

It was getting too early, and Old Tom was not standing at the counter busy.

There are no customers in the store.

Couldn't Old Tom open the door and open the windows for ventilation? This strange smell must have been accumulating for many years!

While thinking about it, Xifa walked to the counter and patted the bell on the counter.

After a long time——

Old Tom, who had dark circles on his face and red bloodshot eyes, yawned and came down from upstairs.

"Hey! You're here! What do you want to buy?"

After going out for a trip, Xifa, whose eyesight has improved, can slightly feel the level of Old Tom's magic.

Don't look at his sleepy face, that's it, the aura he exudes inadvertently is much stronger than Raphael Oriel.

It is estimated that it was because he was suddenly awakened that his breath control was not perfect! Otherwise, he would not have noticed the faint breath at all.

Xifa sighed secretly in his heart.

"Two butterbeers, two...three beef sandwiches."

Feeling Cassandra gently tugging at the corner of his clothes, Xifa looked helpless and changed his words.

"That's all?" Seeing Xifa hesitate to speak, Old Tom raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That's all for food. I have a favor to ask you. Can you help me contact Professor Dumbledore? I want to meet him."

Xifa asked while taking out the money and handing it to Old Tom to settle the bill.

After listening to Xifa's request, he took the wizard currency handed over by Xifa.

Old Tom nodded. "Okay, but why don't you use your own owl?"

"I traveled far and made a friend. The owl was left at Hogwarts!"

Xifa paralyzed his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"Okay! By the way, you...forget it...just wish yourself well!"

After saying that, Old Tom turned to the kitchen to get busy.

Xifa was left alone with a confused look on his face.

Annoying Riddler!

I didn't understand...but Old Tom's tone was that of gloating, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

He pulled Cassandra aside and sat down. After a while, the breakfast they ordered suddenly appeared on the table.

Old Tom probably went back to his room to take a nap, but he never showed up again.

After the two finished breakfast, they left the Leaky Cauldron Bar directly.

I bought a lot of products at a Muggle supermarket.

We’ve come to the Muggle car market again.

I spent a large amount of Muggle money to buy a more comfortable car and a driver's license.

In this era, as long as you have money, the law will make way for you!

Finally, you don’t have to squeeze into the bus.

Throwing the large and small bags into the car, Xifa drove Kassandra towards her home...

——————

Naturally, Mrs. Mary was shocked when she drove back.

Especially, a beautiful strange girl stepped out of the car.

Mrs. Mary can guarantee that she has never adopted or had contact with this girl!

When Xifa got out of the car, the look in Mrs. Mary's eyes turned somewhat inexplicable.

But she thought that Xifa had always been very precocious.

The corners of her mouth twitched, but after all, she did not preach to Xifa in front of Cassandra.

However, when Xifa is cooking in the kitchen...

Mrs. Mary never missed a scolding.

In order to clear up Mrs. Mary’s doubts.

Xifa said that Cassandra is the daughter of a professor's friend, and she became an orphan during this holiday because of the war.

This summer vacation, I am going to take her over to study with me...

Hearing this, Mrs. Mary hurriedly left the kitchen.

"I'll deal with you later! How dare you go abroad!"

The sound came from the door...

I never said that... Xifa was stunned for a while.

But then, he suddenly woke up.

There is no news of war in the UK now, but the European continent is not very peaceful.

He accidentally let it slip!

In the evening, at the dinner table, Cassandra behaved well and wisely, which made Lady Mary feel very fond of her.

At the dinner table, she told everyone that she would treat Cassandra as her adopted daughter!

Lady Mary has her own aura of motherhood, allowing Cassandra, who lost her biological mother, to find a new spiritual harbor.

Feeling the magic power of Cassandra coming to life, Xifa felt a little happy.

It seems that it was right to bring Cassandra back once, even though I was scolded...

He gave her support when she was most desperate, but eventually something went wrong with her mind.

Otherwise, I had already pointed out to her that the secret of the Patronus Charm is the heart of guardianship. How could she not be able to cast the Patronus in the physical body?

Xifa looked up at Lady Mary's reproachful expression and loving eyes.

I immersed myself in beef soup, beef balls, etc. and ate and drank.

After eating, quickly apply oil on the soles of your feet and run away.

Naturally, my younger brothers and sisters helped clean up the mess!

I spent a busy afternoon cooking a delicious meal for them, and they helped clean it up. This has become an unwritten tacit understanding between them.

Starry...

On the roof of Marie Orphanage.

There is a well-fed Xifa lying in a rocking chair.

In the yard below, Cassandra was playing the game of eagle and chicken with a group of children.

Xifa picked up the milk tea beside him and took a sip.

Wild fresh tea leaves and milk full of milky fragrance fill your taste buds.

Putting down the teacup, Xifa stretched out comfortably in the rocking chair.

Hmm?

Xifa opened his eyes suddenly.

A snow-white owl fell from the sky to his side.

It’s Xiaobai!

Seeing the owner after a long time.

Xiaobai moved to Xifa's arms, asking for support.

Xifa happily took off the letter from its feet, and then stroked its feathers with one hand.

Tap the letter with the other hand.

The letter slowly unfolded by itself, revealing the information in front of Xifa.

The letter writer is Professor Dumbledore. He said that he would have some free time at noon tomorrow and could meet with West Fa at the Leaky Cauldron.

Why not here? Are you afraid of exposing yourself, or are you saying that Professor Dumbledore is being watched?

Xifa guessed that it was the latter. In the Pig's Head Bar, some Aurors saw Professor Dumbledore appearing, so they would not think that Professor Dumbledore was doing something secret.

Of course, I also want to protect myself. After all, magic will leave traces, especially long-distance apparation!

Those pure-blood families are still very powerful in fighting among themselves!

Xifa curled his lips with disdain.

With a snap of his fingers, a dim flame burned the letter to ashes.

Then he stood up with Xiaobai in his arms.

I returned to the house through the window behind me and went straight to my destination kitchen.

He is going to find some beef balls for Xiaobai to eat...

Even if Xiaobai was taken to the Pig Head Bar via Floo.

It’s been such a long journey, thank you so much!
