Chapter 167 The Old Man in the Teahouse
But the next day, Jiang Li still set foot on the road to Hogsmeade with a depressed face.
Early in the morning, Professor Sprout was instructed by Dumbledore to lift her bed.
"Sorry, boy, Professor Dumbledore asked me to ask you to buy him some lemon drops at Honeydukes, and he went to the Ministry of Magic."
Professor Sprout said so, with an apologetic look on her loving face, if it was Dumbledore, Jiang Li could lose her temper at him, but to the always kind Professor Sprout, she could only She nodded in agreement.
Thinking that she had never taken Xiao Hei out for a walk, she put a dog leash on Xiao Hei and took him to Hogsmeade. Why did she put a dog leash on Xiao Hei? Because there is a saying in her country Barking, walking a dog without a leash is equivalent to a dog walking a person.
Even though it was snowing heavily, the entire road was covered with thick snow. Along the way, Jiang Li saw Hogwarts students chatting together and happily walking towards Hogsmeade. The bad weather could not stop them where to.
When Jiang Li left, he didn't see Hermione or Draco, obviously they had left for Hogsmeade earlier.
When she got there, the town was full of Hogwarts students and the occasional adult wizard.
The snow on the roads in the small town could not be piled up at all. Countless pairs of feet trampled the snow that fell on the ground into sticky mud. Jiang Li looked at his muddy soles and stomped his feet a little irritably. Even Xiao Hei The originally black and smooth dog fur on the four feet was also covered with wet mud.
She saw the big sign of the Honeydukes Candy Store from a long distance away. The candies in this store were so popular that the line even left the store, dragging a long tail.
She looked at the signboards of the shops on the side of the street, Mrs. Puddiffe Tea House, Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, Three Broomsticks Bar, Literary House Quill Shop, Zuko's Magic Joke Shop, and the Pig's Head Bar at the corner of the main road.
Only then did she know that Aberforth's bar was in Hogsmeade, and she hadn't noticed it at all when she came last time. At that time, there were hardly any people in Hogsmeade, and there were no famous shops, but in Under the background of that era, everyone was really not in the mood to go shopping.
Jiang Li looked at the Honeydukes Candy Store where there was still a long queue, and decided to visit Aberforth first, wondering if this irascible young man had turned into a irascible old man.
She walked into the Hog's Head pub and fell into the eyes of Crabbe who was pouring tea from Madame Puddiffe's teahouse across the bar.
He elbowed Draco who was chatting with Blaise next to him, and pointed to the figure: "Hey, Draco, look, isn't this the Hufflepuff who beat Goyle? To that weird bar?"
Draco looked in the direction of Crabbe's finger, and sure enough, he saw the familiar figure leading a big black dog, pushed open the heavy wooden door of the opposite bar and walked in.
He frowned. The Pig's Head Pub was not a place that students liked to go to in Hogsmeade. I heard that it was dirty and messy, and the bar owner had a bad temper.
"Draco, you don't plan to follow up to see it, it's almost done, I know she looks good, but forget it, just play around, Uncle Lucius won't agree, Pansy and Daphne Not bad." Blaise looked at Draco jokingly, but still offered him a sincere suggestion.
Draco pursed his lips and stared at the closed door of the opposite bar without saying a word. The sign on the door was a cut off wild boar head with blood on it, and the blood seeped out from the white cloth covering it. This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The door of the teahouse was pushed open, and the cold wind took the opportunity to sneak into the shop, making Draco shiver uncontrollably.
"A cup of hot chocolate milk, thank you!"
Draco looked back, it was a hale and hearty old man, his gray hair and eyebrows were covered with snowflakes, he stood by the counter and asked for a glass of chocolate milk.
This person looked familiar, Draco thought, but he couldn't remember exactly where he had seen him.
The old man took his hot chocolate milk from the waiter, and strode towards the empty seat in the back corner with the glass of drink in one hand.
When passing by Draco's table, the hem of his windbreaker accidentally scratched the plate on the table, and the plate was taken off the table and fell to the ground, along with the small cakes and milk tea placed on it.
Gore rushed over to save their delicious food, but it was too late.
The old man stopped and snapped his fingers. The food that was about to hit the ground stopped a centimeter from the ground. He moved his index finger slightly again, and the plate flew back to the table. The milk tea and small western cakes also returned to the plate as before. superior.
"Sorry, children, I was in a hurry to leave." The old man turned around and apologized to them.
Draco nodded and nodded slightly, accepting his apology on behalf of himself and his companions.
The old man didn't say anything more to them. He took his own milk and went to the corner. He casually picked up a piece of the Daily Prophet and read it. On the headline of the daily newspaper was a picture of a man's crazy face. Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, possibly near Hogsmeade".
"Did you see that, Draco? Casting spells silently without a staff, just that old man!" Blaise tugged on Ladraco's sleeve, and glanced furtively at the old man sitting at the table behind.
"Well, I saw it."
Draco also turned to the back with a cat, squinting his eyes to observe the old man who was drinking hot milk comfortably. He didn't look like anything special.
"Who the hell? Even my father and Professor Snape can only cast spells without a stick now." Draco frowned and muttered to the extremely ordinary old man.
He suddenly noticed movement in the old man's windbreaker, as if there was something inside.
"I bet he's definitely not from Hogwarts, I've never seen him!" Crabbe said confidently next to Blaise.
"Maybe it's the teacher of the new Protection of Magical Animals class. After all, the wild man was removed from his position by Uncle Lucius. There has been no teacher in this class for half a year." Blaise leaned back in his chair and took a sip My own black tea, "It's just a guess, Dumbledore probably won't let such a powerful person just be an entertainment class teacher."
Draco nodded in agreement, and withdrew his gaze from the old man.
"You are here indeed!" Daphne and Pansy led Astoria into the teahouse.
"A... Astoria? Aren't you only in the second grade?" Crabbe pointed at the silver-haired girl in shock.
"She wanted to buy some candy, so Daphne and I sneaked her out, please let me go, Blaise!" Pansy pushed Blaise away and sat down next to Draco.
Not to be outdone, Daphne pushed Crabbe away and sat on the other side of Draco.
"Three cups of Earl Gray tea!" Daphne shouted at the waiter at the counter.
Draco took out his wallet, intending to pay for them, after all Lucius had taught him not to let girls spend money.
When he opened the wallet, he was dumbfounded. All the gold Galleons and silver Sickles in it were gone. When he set off in the morning, he prepared a bag full.
Blaise also noticed his empty wallet: "What's the matter, Draco, why did your money disappear? I just saw that they were still there when you paid the money. Could it be a thief!"
Blaise spoke in a loud voice, and many people heard it.
Hearing him say "thief", the old man who had been reading the newspaper raised his head to look at the group of children who were in a commotion, frowning slightly.
