Chapter 269: Astoria Is Sick (Part 1)
Jon froze there.
"Are you here for my sister, Mr. Patrick?" asked Daphne Greengrass again.
"That's right......" Jon reacted, nodding slightly.
"Come with me!" Daphne motioned for Jon to follow, and she herself bowed her head and walked into Lady Paddiff's teahouse.
Since it was Valentine's Day, there were many more customers in the teahouse than usual.
And there are plenty of familiar faces inside: such as Hufflepuff's Cedric Diggory and his girlfriend Cho Chang, Gryffindor's Ginny Weasley and her boyfriend Michael Corner, and Ravenclaw's Quidditch captain Roger Davis and his girlfriend......
When Daphne Greengrass walked in with Jon, there was a whisper in the teahouse.
"Greengrass and Patrick, they actually hooked up together......"
"I didn't expect that!"
Daphne ignored the gossip and took Jon to a seat near the fireplace.
"What do you two want?" Lady Padef, a fat middle-aged woman with shiny black hair, struggled to squeeze between the two tables.
"Two cups of black tea, please. Daphne said calmly.
Lady Padiv departed.
Above the small round table, golden angels fly, scattering pink confetti at the people...... A little dress up for Valentine's Day.
Ginny Weasley on one side began to kiss her boyfriend Michael Corner, and Cho Chang on the other side also began to get entangled with Cedric Diggory.
The scene was suddenly a little awkward, and Daphne, who was sitting opposite, lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.
To be honest, Jon's two identities don't have much to do with her, the original identity, the most memorable scene is when he first entered the first grade, he had a fight with her, and the new identity, except for Daphne who showed him the way a long time ago, has no contact!
Some were bored looking at the window, but there was too much moisture on it to see the street outside......
Just when Jon decided to open Chen Bugong a little bit.
Daphne was the first to speak, "How long have you been dating my sister, Mr. Patrick?"
"It didn't take long. Jon replied vaguely, "A few months." ”
Judging by Daphne Greengrass's tone, it looks like Astoria didn't tell her who she was...... But why Astoria wanted her sister to come to see her, Jon didn't quite understand.
"Then you're so hidden!" Daphne smirked sarcastically, "I've never heard of rumors between you before. ”
"Yes...... Rather subtle......" Jon continued to muffle his head.
"Mr. Patrick, I don't have a very good impression of you, but I'm glad Astoria came out of her previous relationship......" Daphne's tone was a little haughty, as if Jon had seen her on the train in her first grade.
"Previous relationship?"
"To be honest, he's much better than you, he's the youngest warrior and youngest champion in the history of the Triwizard Tournament......" Daphne involuntarily bit her lip, and her tone became a little low: "It's a pity that he died eight months ago......"
"Is that so......" Jon tried not to make too many waves on his face.
......
Lady Padiv came at this moment.
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end......
Madame Padiff held two cups of black tea in her hand and placed them on the small table. He looked at the two people at the table and asked kindly, "My dear...... Do you want a little angel to help you have fun?"
With that, she snapped her fingers lightly.
Jon quickly looked around, and the rest of the couples in the teahouse were all holding hands intimately, only the atmosphere between him and Daphne was slightly awkward......
Several golden cherubs flew over, scattering confetti and Jon had to cover his face with his hands, but he was still splashed.
"Don't be so reserved, my dear!" reminded Lady Paddev, before walking away.
Daphne struggled to pat the confetti off her body, her face flushing slightly.
"Scourgify!" Jon quickly pulled out his wand and applied a cleansing charm on her.
Then I used one on myself.
"Thank you!" Daphne said casually.
While Lady Parddefh was busy at the counter, Jon lowered his voice and asked, "Miss Greengrass...... I want to ask, Astoria, what's wrong with her?"
He added, "Why did you come here instead of her?"
"She's sick. Daphne replied calmly.
"Sick...... Is it serious...... Where is she...... Is it in the school hospital?" Jon couldn't help but frown.
"No, at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illnesses. ”
......
"You're not kidding, are you?" said the expression on Jon's face, which became a little scary.
"Of course not...... Daphne shook her head, "Why else would I be here...... My sister was sick and I helped her get two weeks off from Professor Snape last night...... Luckily, my mother now has time to spend with her!"
"So there's still time for her to go back to school?"
"Of course, what do you think it is...... Do you think she has a terminal illness?" Daphne snorted, "Astoria's health has not been good since she was a child...... She spends half a month at St. Mungo every year, but in previous years it was summer vacation, but this year it was several months earlier. ”
"Okay, I see!" Jon's tight string loosened a little.
Judging by Daphne's tone, she wasn't lying...... Since learning "Celestial Thoughts", Jon is very sensitive to emotions, and a little girl like Daphne Greengrass can't easily fool him.
However, Jon suspects that Daphne doesn't really know about her sister's situation either.
"Thank you, Miss Greengrass!" said Jon sincerely.
"Don't thank me, I can see that my sister still cares about you!" Daphne shook her head: "At the last moment of her consciousness, she asked me to inform you and tell you not to worry about her...... I hope you don't live up to her feelings like her ex......"
With that, Daphne stood up, ignoring the cup of black tea on the table.
"I'll go first, Mr. Patrick!" she said as she hurried out of the teahouse.
Jon didn't leave in a hurry, he still sat there, taking a sip of his tea.
