Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts
Chapter 398 Les: It's time to visit the Gaunt family
Looking at Neville walking away happily, Les's eyes narrowed slightly: This guy is a bit interesting.
His perception of this round-faced boy had changed a little, and he believed that such a person would one day reap rich rewards.
After lunch, Daphne and Astoria found Les and invited him to take a walk by the Black Lake.
"I'm finally free. How about going to the lake to relax and unwind?" Daphne shook a food box in her hand and extended an invitation to Les.
After Daphne and the others took their final exams, they were dragged into hard labor by Professor White. They accidentally had an accident in the middle, and they didn't relax completely until now.
Les blinked: Isn't it the best way to relax while lying on a soft bed in the dormitory and taking a nap without anyone waking you up?
However, considering that the children had worked hard throughout the semester and could not rest well after the final exam, Rice decided to comply with their wishes and meet their trivial request.
Blindly admonishing will only arouse resentment among students. It's a harmless little pleasure, just give it to them if they want it.
So, a few minutes later, Les and three others appeared on the shore of Black Lake.
Although summer has entered, the temperature in the Scottish Highlands still remains below 20 degrees Celsius, and the weather is extremely comfortable and pleasant.
Walking by the Black Lake, the cool breeze blew across his face, and even Les, who didn't want to come out at first, felt relaxed and happy.
"The four founders back then really chose a good place." Daphne on the side said with emotion from the bottom of her heart.
Isn't it? Surrounded by mountains and rivers, and surrounded by dense forests with rich products, Hogwarts' geographical location is so good that the four of them fell in love with this treasure land when they first saw it.
"That's not true." Les smiled and echoed: "I have seen records in ancient books that the Muggle lords around Hogwarts were trying to compete with the founders for the land rights here."
As he spoke, he picked out a few interesting things from the time when the school was founded and told them to the two little girls.
"I can't believe that there were so many stories about Hogwarts when it was founded." Daphne said with emotion.
In her impression, the establishment of Hogwarts was just a simple sentence: "The four founders established Hogwarts in 990 AD", but she did not expect that there were so many stories behind it.
It is these stories that make everything seem so real.
While Daphne was filled with emotion, Astoria was thinking: How did Les know about these things that were not recorded in "Hogwarts: A School History"? Can you really see so many secrets in the letters between ancient wizards?
But she didn't want to delve into this issue.
Les and the two little girls found a shady spot to sit by the lake.
Sitting on the ground, feeling the breeze blowing from the lake, Les felt that he had never been so comfortable.
If you think about it carefully, when you were young, you traveled around with Godric and the others, collecting magic spells and understanding the secrets of magic; in your middle age, you competed with the Nordic gods; in your later years, you began to build Hogwarts and teach and educate people. There are only a handful of such leisurely and carefree moments in life.
It would be great if time could freeze at this moment.
Les closed his eyes, and then heard Daphne whispering from the side: "The fish in the black lake should be very fat, right?"
Astoria, Rice:…
This is a good question.
However, students and professors at the school don’t seem to eat fish very much. Most of the fish that appear on the table are salmon and salmon.
Even Hagrid only hunts in the Forbidden Forest and rarely goes fishing in the Black Lake.
"Big fish may not necessarily taste good," Les said based on his experience.
But he didn't stop talking, because he knew that there were some fish in the sea that were very big, but had thick fat between their muscles, and biting them left a fragrant aroma in your mouth.
"You'll know after you try it." Daphne was eager to give it a try.
She stood up, looked around, and then pulled a branch from a nearby tree.
When the branches were in hand, she took out a ribbon and turned them into the shape of a fishing rod.
Looking at Daphne who was busy, Les wanted to use the flying spell to catch the fish directly, but quickly gave up the idea - Daphne did not enjoy the fish, but the fishing process, so just let her Go ahead.
Daphne ran to the lake to go fishing, while Les and Astoria sat in the shade of a tree not far away and watched her fishing.
"Sister, she..." Astoria looked at Daphne's back with a complicated expression.
"Let her be." Les rolled his eyes: Daphne, this girl, couldn't tell when she was a child, but as she grew up, she became more and more like Gryffindor - ugh, her ancestor Adrian.
"Do you have any plans for the vacation?" Astoria asked softly.
If possible, she also wanted to kidnap Les to Greengrass Manor. She knew that Les was a great person. After spending time with him, maybe she could understand the field?
Les raised his head and glanced at her.
"It is said that the Quidditch World Cup Finals will be held in the UK this summer? It is necessary to go and see it."
Although Les was not very interested in Quidditch, based on his knowledge of Quidditch, he knew that this must be the premier event in the wizarding world.
Along with the grand event, there must be a gathering of wizards. This kind of "big gathering" activity is quite attractive to Rice.
He can see the living conditions of wizards outside the UK.
"Great, Dad will definitely be able to get tickets, we can go and watch together!" Astoria invited Les very naturally.
Les accepted Astoria's kindness calmly.
In his opinion, this is a normal behavior for students to repay their teachers, and he should not refuse their kindness.
But in addition to watching the World Cup, he has another thing to do. He has wanted to do this for a long time, but he has been delayed by various things before, so he has never been able to go.
Les wants to go to the Gaunt family. Not for anything else, just to see, to see the traces left by the descendants of his unworthy adopted son.
"Gaunt family, are there any descendants left? I mean the direct descendants." Les asked Astoria a question.
Because pure-blood families often intermarry, each family has more or less blood from other families. According to blood, the Gaunt family must still exist widely, but Les asked about their direct descendants.
"There should be more, right?" Astoria was not very confident. She recalled the few words her father had said and sorted them out.
"There are more, but they will soon be extinct. The Gaunt family... My father said that they all have some problems with their brains. By the beginning of this century, they had fallen into disrepair. The last descendant of the Gaunt family should have been imprisoned in Azkaban for suspected murder of Muggles."
"Is that so." There was no emotion on Les's face.
This may be the retribution for impersonating the name of Slytherin. It was also a group of pure-blood supporters headed by this family that made their reputation so bad.
"Does the Gaunt family live in Hangleton?"
"I don't know about that." Astoria shook her head and asked with a little curiosity: "Are you going to find someone from the Gaunt family?"
She remembered that Les didn't seem to like the Gaunt family very much because he thought they had impersonated the name of Slytherin. As the legitimate heir of Slytherin, he could not accept such blasphemy.
"No, just go there for a walk." Les responded vaguely.
Astoria blinked and was about to ask for more details, but was interrupted by Daphne's cheers.
The girl's simple fishing rod was now bent into a bow shape, obviously catching a big fish from the lake.
Les raised his eyebrows: Daphne is lucky.
Fishing is very mysterious. Sometimes you can catch a fish by just throwing it casually on the shore, and sometimes you can't even catch a fish scale after concentrating on preparing for a long time.
After fighting with the fish for a while, the fish finally lost and was dragged to the shore by Daphne.
Les glanced at it and felt that it was a one-foot-long trout.
After the fish was pulled to the shore, Daphne waded directly to the fish, caught the fish, and brought it to Les to ask for credit.
"Look, I caught a big fish!" The girl's face was full of excitement.
"Yes, this trout is big enough. This kind of fish tastes good. The meat is somewhat similar to salmon, but it cannot be eaten raw." Rice praised.
Daphne was even happier.
However, the three people who were full did not eat the fish caught by Daphne, but chose to release it.
After Daphne used a spell to clean the water stains on her body, she sat next to Rice and chatted with him. The content of the chat was naturally the holiday arrangements.
Rice: You two are really...
While sharing his holiday plans with Daphne and Astoria, he opened Daphne's food box, which was filled with his favorite desserts: pudding, puffs, ice cream...
In the midst of eating, drinking and chatting, this most relaxed and pleasant day passed.
The graduation ceremony arrived in the blink of an eye.
The teachers and students of Hogwarts gathered in the auditorium and spent the last day of school this school year with the graduating seventh-grade students.
Rice looked at the seventh-grade students and was filled with emotion. These students are about to enter the adult world, and he sincerely hopes that they can have a bright future.
To put it in an official and formal way, he hopes that they can become useful people in the magic world.
Rice's eyes swept across the long table of Gryffindor College. He noticed that Percy Weasley's face seemed a little bad, as if he had consumed too much energy. In connection with the potions he bought from Hogsmeade, Rice was not surprised, and just wanted to advise him to be a little restrained.
This year, the Hufflepuff students were extremely excited, because this year was simply unprecedented, Hufflepuff College became the winner of the College Cup!
Originally, the students of Hufflepuff College had no idea about the College Cup, and their attitude was prominently Buddhist.
But when Cedric led the Hufflepuff Quidditch team to defeat two powerful rivals, Gryffindor and Slytherin, in succession, everyone's ideas changed all of a sudden.
They seemed, seemed, and probably could compete?
After this idea appeared, it burned in the hearts of Hufflepuff College students like wildfire, and it was out of control.
In the following days, the Hufflepuff students showed amazing unity. In the end, they really won the House Cup!
When Dumbledore officially announced that Hufflepuff House was the winner of this year's House Cup, the hall was plunged into a sea of joy. Even Helga, who was sitting in the staff seat, applauded enthusiastically with her lips curled up.
Looking at Helga who was extremely happy on the stage, Les suddenly remembered the so-called "curse".
So will Helga be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for another year? Les found that he seemed to have forgotten to ask this old friend.
'I'll ask her during the holidays. ' Les thought.
The school year ended in the lively ceremony.
The students packed their luggage in just one night and boarded the Hogwarts Express for the return trip.
Following the flow of people, they squeezed out of the platform little by little and entered King's Cross Station. Les saw Mr. Henry standing outside the platform waiting for his two daughters.
Daphne and Astoria rushed towards their father the moment they saw him.
Harry, who was following behind them, had an envious look in his eyes: he had only dreamed of such a scene in his dreams.
What was even more annoying than seeing other classmates and their families reunited was that Harry saw the Dursleys...
But at this moment, a handsome middle-aged man suddenly came to Harry.
"Harry, is that you?" The middle-aged man looked at Harry with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Yes..." Harry hesitated a little, turned around and looked around, and saw that the corner of the station was full of Hogwarts classmates and their parents, and the Weasley family was not far away, so he was relieved.
"You are...?"
"I am Sirius Black."
As soon as this name came out, Harry's eyes widened.
After Christmas, he and Sirius had exchanged no less than a hundred letters, but he didn't expect that he would come to King's Cross Station to see him in person!
Thinking of this, Harry suddenly thought of an amazing possibility, and his heart suddenly pounded.
"So you are here..." Harry didn't dare to continue speaking after only saying half of the words, for fear that his guess was wrong and he would end up happy in vain.
"I remember I told you that I hope you can stay at my house for a while. Of course, if you can't bear to leave your aunt, I won't--"
"No problem at all!" Harry interrupted Sirius directly, "How long can I stay? Uh, I mean..."
After hearing what Harry said, Sirius laughed very happily. He told Harry: It's okay for you to stay as long as you want, but Dumbledore has told Harry that he seems to stay at the Dursleys for a while, have a meal or something.
Harry was relieved to know that he didn't have to stay at the Dursleys for a long time.
"Then let's go back together, have a meal and leave, how about that?" He asked in a pleading tone.
"Okay, let's go." Sirius took the initiative to pick up Harry's suitcase and walked towards the Dursleys with him.
