Starting Over At Hogwarts Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Leaky Cauldron, Cedric · Diggory
Leaky Cauldron.

When Wesson Wright and old Barty · Crouch opened the wooden door to enter the bar, the first floor of this small bar was quite lively.

A group of wizards chatted enthusiastically holding goblet.

One of them, a middle-aged man who looks rather chatty, has a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, but he looks like a very sophisticated old school figure.

"It was a great trip..."

Now this middle-aged man of the pedantic image is very happy to show off his trip to the wizard friends in the whole bar: "I saw many magical creatures in the rainforest. After Mr. Newt Scamander learned that I had gone to the rainforest of South America, he warmly wrote to invite me to be a guest at his home..."

obviously.

It can be heard from the mouth of this man that it is a very bragging capital to have Newt Scamander, an expert on magical creatures, invite him as a guest.

This can indeed be boasted.

Because of Newt Scamander's high honor in the magic circle, the old man has written many books about magic creatures, which have been used as Hogwarts teaching materials.

"Celebrate Amos Diggory's trip!"

"Celebrate Amos getting an invitation from Mr. Scamander!"

The whole Leaky Cauldron cheerfully held up goblets to celebrate the man who was able to receive Mr. Scamander's invitation, with a tall silhouette showing the most enthusiasm.

That's a half-giant.

Rubeus Hagrid, Hogwarts Forbidden Forest and gamekeeper, ostensibly a school clerk, was in fact someone Dumbledore trusted.

This half-giant loves all kinds of magical creatures, so he's also quite enthusiastic about the talkative man's travel stories...

Of course.

Rubeus Hagrid was not Wesson's focus.

Compared to Rubeus Hagrid, there is now a black-haired boy in the bar who is more noticeable to Wesson Wright, a slender figure standing behind the chatty man.

This black-haired teenager is very handsome.

To say something a little too modest, Wesson Wright felt that the handsomeness of this young man was probably a little bit worse than his own.

Seemingly aware of Wesson's gaze, the black-haired boy looked towards Wesson who appeared here, and moved towards Wesson Wright with a smile.

This is a well-mannered man.

Whether it's his actions or his look, it's natural and elegant, it seems that people have a good impression of him, and can't help but want to praise him a few words.

Just at this time, the chatty middle-aged man took the black-haired boy's shoulders, laughed and introduced in a loud voice: "It's a pity that I can't go to Mr. Scamander's house for the time being, because My son Cedric is going to study at Hogwarts soon, and I'm going to accompany him today to buy things that Hogwarts new students need to prepare..."

When it comes to his son, the middle-aged man has some regrets: " Cedric is twelve years old this year, and his birthday is in October, so he has to be a year late..."

Just as the other drinkers tried to appease him, the middle-aged man suddenly said with a big smile: "But Cedric has read the textbook I left for him that he used. I believe that with his intelligence, he will definitely become an excellent Hufflepuff student!"

"..."

Cedric had a slightly red shyness on his face.

Maybe it's because he's a little ashamed of his father's boasting, maybe because he's embarrassed because people in the bar are watching him.

If it were an ordinary little boy, maybe he would have been hiding behind his father long ago, and sorry would have faced the scorching eyes of these adults.

Cedric's performance is completely different.

After being shy for a moment, the black-haired teenager bowed his head humbly, and walked a wizard etiquette to the many drinkers in front of him: "I'm very sorry for disturbing everyone's leisure time in the afternoon. "

"Celebrate Cedric Mr. Diggory!"

"Celebrate Amos Diggory for having a wonderful son!"

"Celebrate Hogwarts Celebrating the birth of a great student!"

"Celebrating Hufflepuff...Hufflepuff will be beaten by Gryffindor again at this year's Quiddich Cup!"

"..."

The whole bar burst into cheers again.

Among them, there are some alcoholics who like to sneak in private goods. Obviously, these alcoholics should be graduated from wizards in Gryffindor.

While the people in the bar were drinking, Cedric Diggory and his father Amos Diggory finally got out of the crowd to say hello.

Because Amos Diggory also saw old Barty Crouch, both of them were barely colleagues of the Ministry of Magic.

Old Barty Crouch was once a very prestigious, now in a semi-retired state, and can also be the Director of the British Ministry of Magic Department of International Magical Cooperation;
Amos Diggory is only Working as a clerk in the super unpopular department of the Department of Fantastic Creatures Management, probably the one from Hufflepuff house seems to be really bad at politics...

"long time no see, Mr. Crouch."

Ah Moss Diggory came over, moved towards old Barty Crouch stretched out his hand, and squeezed his palm firmly: "Your spirit looks good..."

"So do you, Ah Moss."

old Barty Crouch shook his palm slowly, his eyes fell on Cedric Diggory next to him, and he praised very seriously: "Amos, you have A very good son."

"hahahahaha..."

Amos Diggory couldn't hide his pride any longer, patted his son's shoulder hard, and urged: "This is also the proudest thing in my life!"

After finishing speaking, Amos Diggory noticed the gray-haired boy beside old Barty Crouch and asked softly, "This one is..."

"This is..."

old Barty ·Crouch looked towards Wesson Wright, who was standing beside him. At this moment, he suddenly didn't know how to introduce Wesson's identity to others.

If the identity of the introduction is too low...

What if Wesson Wright can't get off the stage on the spot?
Wesson Wright seemed to sense old Barty Crouch's hesitation, and he took the initiative to move towards Amos Diggory and stretched out his palm: "I am Wesson, Wesson Wright, and a new student who entered Hogwarts this year."

After finishing speaking, Wesson Wright glanced at Cedric ·Diggory and added: "If nothing else, it should also enter the Hufflepuff house."

"oh? "

Amos Diggory's eyes lit up instantly.

Cedric ·Diggory's eyes also flashed with joy, he was very fond of the classmates he met by chance, perhaps because of his good nature.

This is kind.

It must be true kindness.

Cedric even took the initiative to extend the hand to Wesson and said seriously: "Re-introduce myself, Cedric, Cedric ·Diggory."

"I heard it just now."

Wesson held Cedric's hand kindly, opened the mouth sincerely and said: "I think it is a pleasure to meet a student at this time."

"I think so too..."

Cedric happily nodded nodded in agreement.
