Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 838

Chapter 838 Super Senior

In order not to arouse others' suspicion and out of curiosity, Kyle looked around in other places. When he returned to the Valley Bar, it was already evening and the place was full of people, even more lively than at noon.

Kyle also saw an acquaintance... No, to be precise, he should have heard it.

"Give it up, Aberforth, I won't sell wine to a fourth-grade kid like you." The bar owner stood behind the bar and looked at the young boy in front of him jokingly.

The boy also looked at the boss with an angry face, "I'm already in fifth grade!"

There was a burst of laughter all around, and everyone was looking over there, as if they were watching an interesting show.

“Not even in the fifth grade.” The boss raised his eyebrows, “Before you reach the age of seventeen, you are still a kid and you can't drink.”

“Here, this is for you.” He pushed a cup over, “Milk and pumpkin juice, this is what you should drink.”

There was a round of laughter again. The bearded wizard next to him slapped a siko on the table and shouted: "Will, don't cheat the kid out of his pocket money. I bought him a glass of milk."

"You... I want whiskey!" Aberforth turned red with anger and grabbed a handful of Sickles. "I can pay double the price."

“It's useless even if you pay ten times.” The boss shook his head again, “You are not old enough to drink, so you can only drink milk and pumpkin juice.”

"You still care about this?" Aberforth frowned and looked around, "Don't think I don't know, half of the wine here is illegally smuggled from Romania."

Hearing what he said, the boss was not annoyed. Instead, he said with a smile: "Correction, it's not half, but two-thirds. In addition, only things that are included in the prohibited trade list are called smuggling, but wine Not among them."

The surrounding guests who were drinking all laughed loudly and didn't think there was anything strange. Obviously, they all knew about it.

Hearing the laughter of the crowd, Aberforth became even more angry and shouted: "I will also open a bar in the future, and I can drink as much as I want then!"

“Then can we go drink for free?” someone asked, but his tone was more teasing, as if he thought opening a bar was a lot of fun.

“You must pay double!” said Aberforth angrily.

“Then I must try it.”

“Take me one, I like to drink wine at double the price.”

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Aberforth passed by Kyle, slammed the door and left the bar.

As Aberforth left, the next second, as if it had been agreed upon, the atmosphere in the bar suddenly cooled down and even became a little gloomy.

This made Kyle feel a little strange. He found a man who was drinking at the bar and asked what was going on.

But what he responded to was an impatient scolding.

"It's none of your business, outsider." The other party glanced at Kyle sideways and warned: "Stop your curiosity, if you still want to walk out of Godric's Hollow honorably."

"Don't say that, Cord." The bar owner came over, "He is Bathilda's friend, not an outsider."

“Bathilda's friend?”

“Yes, I confirmed it, a Hogwarts student who likes magical history.”

The man grunted twice, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and went to another table.

"Don't mind." The boss looked at Kyle, "Potter... is the person just now. He has a good relationship with Candela. At this time, his temper will inevitably be a little fierce, but he is still a good person."

“Candra?” Kyle repeated the name in a low voice.

"Just a man who lives in Godric's Hollow and has nothing to do with history. You won't be interested." The boss said, "Would you like a glass of brandy? I'll buy it."

“Oh, no problem,” Kyle said.

He could see that the old man didn't want to talk to him about Candela, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, Kyle can also understand. After all, he has just arrived here not long ago. Even with Bathilda's help, he would not be able to integrate in so quickly.

Take your time, don't rush.

For a period of time after that, Kyle didn't go anywhere. Except for being in his room, he would just walk around the neighborhood pretending to be around, and then come back in the evening to drink and chat with everyone. Occasionally, he was happy while chatting. I will pay for it and treat everyone to a drink.

It doesn't cost much. In a bar like this, the number of people is basically fixed. Two galleons at most are enough.

And it didn't cost him any money...Hollicon sponsored it.

After inviting everyone to drink a few times, his popularity here began to skyrocket, and he could chat with everyone.

During this period, Aberforth came several times and wanted to buy wine, but he was ruthlessly rejected by the boss every time.

　　After Aberforth was driven away for the fifth time, Kyle put down the cup, turned around and asked, "How many times has he been rejected, why is he here again?"

“What else could it be because I had a quarrel with Albus again.” The wizard sitting next to Kyle said as he took a sip of brandy.

Codport, who was also the one who initially said Kyle was an outsider, has gradually lowered his guard after sensing Kyle's sincerity in recent times.

No way, the free wine tastes too good.

“Judging from their names, they seem to be brothers.” Kyle asked intentionally or unintentionally.

“Blood brothers, we used to have a good relationship.” Cord said, he burped from the wine.

“You just said that we had a good relationship before, what do you mean?” Kyle took the opportunity to ask,

"Even...before Albus graduated..." Cord said dazedly, "You are no longer an outsider. It doesn't hurt to tell you something...in case you say the wrong thing one day..."

He picked up the cup again, but it was empty.

“Another glass of brandy.” Kyle waved to the boss, “If you want the best, I'll buy it.”

　　"Hey, we are friends enough." Cord put his arm around Kyle's shoulders and thought about it with his half-drunk mind.

“You probably don't know… Ever since Kendra Dumbledore's death… their relationship has been getting worse…

“My family lives next door to them, and I can often hear quarrels and the sound of things being broken in the middle of the night.”

After this period of getting along, Kyle already knew that Candela Dumbledore was Aberforth's mother.

“How did she die?” Kyle asked.

"I don't know..." Cord shook his head, "No one knows, we only heard a loud noise from Dumbledore's house..."

“Do the Dumbledore brothers know about this?”

“I didn't know it at the time.” Cord shook his head, “At that time, Albus was about to take the N.E.W.T exam, and it wasn't until after the exam...that their uncle Fordling told them about it.

“The two brothers hurried back to attend the funeral…”

At this point, Cord suddenly became choked up and could only take another sip of wine to suppress this emotion.

"I don't know what happened...but since then, the two brothers have been quarreling...Every time Aberforth comes here, trying to numb himself with wine."

“So you're making a fuss about not buying it for him?” Kyle asked.

“So be it,” Cord said, “We don't want to see him become an alcoholic at a young age...

"But you must be careful. If you see the Dumbledore brothers, don't mention Kendra, and don't ask about their parents."

"I know." Kyle nodded and ordered a whole bottle of brandy for Cord. He seemed to only like to drink this, not the whiskey that more people like.

After learning these secrets, Kyle did not go to Dumbledore's house to inquire around out of curiosity, but continued what he was doing before.

Only when he goes out during the day, he will find a hidden place and observe the situation there from a distance. He has also seen young Dumbledore, but unlike when he saw him at school, Dumbledore now no longer has that confident vitality and is depressed every day, looking lost.

It is worth mentioning that it didn't take long for Kyle to see the scene he was most looking forward to...young Dumbledore finally met Grindelwald.

It was a very ordinary noon, and Grindelwald was inquiring about something as usual... He had been like this recently, asking around about other people's homes.

Many people in the bar said that Bathilda's great-nephew must have the same preferences as hers, otherwise no normal wizard would be curious about the history of other people's families when they have nothing to do.

For Bathilda's sake, most of them are willing to cooperate. Anyway, they have nothing to do, so they just treat it like teasing children.

Of course, there are some who don't buy it, such as Cord, who dislikes Grindelwald very much.

As for the reason, it is probably because he is a student of Durmstrang. Cord has no good impression of this school that teaches dark magic at all, and he does not even like Grindelwald, so naturally he will not have a good look towards him.

On this day, Grindelwald was wandering in the valley as usual, and Dumbledore also happened to go out for a walk. As fate would have it, the two of them came to the abandoned barn at the same time.

Kyle was in a forest not far away and could see clearly.

He was a little excited. Isn't this what he had been waiting for for so many days? In a sense, he was witnessing history.

Just as he thought, Dumbledore and Grindelwald could be said to hit it off immediately. In just half a day, the relationship between the two changed from strangers to closeness.

Since then, they can often be seen walking side by side in the valley, and the smile on Dumbledore's face has grown more and more, and he soon returned to his original appearance.

These two equally confident and high-spirited teenagers have naturally become the center of conversation among the residents of Godric's Hollow.

Many people are sincerely happy about Albus's change. They all know that this child was an out-and-out genius when he was at Hogwarts, and they can't bear to see him continue to be depressed.

Otherwise, it would be a pity that a genius like Albus would become lost to the public sooner or later.

They also tried to comfort Albus, but it didn't work much. The child always showed a nonchalant look in front of others, but they could see that it was just an act, and he was still worried.

It was the appearance of Grindelwald that things changed.

They felt that it was Grindelwald who pulled Albus out of the quagmire, and everyone was happy.

The only one who was unhappy was probably Aberforth. He seemed to be very angry at his brother's change in attitude, and the two quarreled more and more often.

Normally he would come to the pub only once every two or three days, but recently he has become a regular customer here. If the boss refuses to sell him a drink, he will still hang around and threaten to go to the Leaky Cauldron to buy it.

But the boss doesn't care at all.

The reason is also very simple. There is only one fireplace nearby that can use the Floo Network, and it is in his bar. As long as he disagrees with Aberforth's use, the other party can only walk to Diagon Alley step by step.

Sometimes when he was really unbearable, he would mix mead with a large glass of pumpkin juice and send Aberforth to get out of the house.

"This kid is really ignorant, far worse than that Grindelwald."

Gradually, this sentence became the consensus of all the guests in the bar.

In their opinion, Aberforth should be happy for his brother's change instead of fighting against him every day.

With him as a foil, Grindelwald became even more valuable, and even Cord's attitude towards him changed.

"Maybe I misunderstood." He said to Kyle while drinking once: "Although Durmstrang is a bad school, Gellert was expelled, which shows that he himself is not Oops, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't be fired.”

"Maybe he did something that even Durmstrang couldn't tolerate." Kyle cursed in his heart, but on the surface he didn't say anything. He just looked at Cord and said with interest,

“So are you ready to let him visit your home?”

“Let's wait a little longer.” Cord said with a smile, “We'll wait until after my child is born, which will probably only be a few months later.”

“Oh, why have you never mentioned this?” Kyle looked at him in surprise.

"Didn't I mention it?" Cord blinked, "Well, it's not too late to know now."

"Then I have to prepare a good gift." Kyle thought for a while, "How about a whole box of aged oak barrel brandy."

"If it was given to me, I would be so happy that I would jump up and down." Cord smacked his lips, "But usually, we don't give wine to a new wizard."

“Haha, just kidding.” Kyle said with a smile, “I will prepare carefully.”

“Then I'll wait.” Cord also smiled. "By the way, I have an idea."

"What?"

“Do you want to be my child's godfather?”

　　Poof…

Kyle almost spit out his drink.

"Are you serious?" Kyle looked at him in disbelief, "We have only known each other for a long time, is this appropriate?"

"There is nothing inappropriate." Cord said seriously: "In fact, I think you are a good person, and your future achievements will be limitless. I am very willing to let you be the godfather of my child."

"Really?" Kyle raised his eyebrows, "But yesterday you persuaded me to change my career, saying that studying the history of magic had no future."

"That's just a drunken joke, don't worry about it." Cord waved his hand, "And you may not always study those things."

"Let's talk about this..." Kyle looked at him and changed the subject: "By the way, have you decided on the child's name? Do you need my help?"

"No, I got up early." Cord said, "Call Henry, what do you think?"

"Very good." Kyle said. He had a strange feeling in his heart. He always felt like he had heard this name before, until he accidentally glanced at Cord's hair.

The messy black hair looks like a bird's nest. It really needs to be taken care of with a smooth hair spray.

"Wait a minute..." Kyle suddenly thought of something and asked, "Corder, what's your last name?"

“You still don't know my last name?” Cord said in surprise, seeming a little angry.

"sorry, I…"

“Listen, my name is Cod Porter, and to be honest, I think I should seriously consider letting you be my child's godfather.”

Kyle didn't hear a word of what he said next. If Cord's surname was Potter, wouldn't his child be called...

Henry Porter.

Kyle finally knew where he had heard this name, in a store in Diagon Alley.

He had purchased a large amount of Smooth Hair Detergent there in order to give Snape a gift, and the name was printed on an old poster in the store.

Henry Porter, Frémont Porter…inventor of Porter's Instant Smoothing Hair Serum.

This is not the point. The point is that they are a father and son. Fleamont is Henry's son. He himself later had a son named James, and this James married a Muggle-born girl, Lily Ivan. Sri Lanka.

In other words, Henry, who was not yet born, was Harry Potter's grandfather.

Kyle smacked his lips.

It's hard to imagine that if he really became Henry's godfather, what should Harry call himself when he returns?

Oh, by the way, there is Sirius. As Harry's godfather, he can't run away either.
