Chapter 55
To Gail's regret, Severus didn't show any surprise or "what is this" expression, and even used his chopsticks very well.
In fact, Severus had long noticed that Gale seemed to know a lot about the country, and Lily had said that. When Gail ordered food just now, he still used very standard Mandarin, which made Seaver confirm his previous guess.
Seeing Gale smiling maliciously and handing him the chopsticks, Severus took it a little helplessly, and didn't tell Gale that he had already begun to understand the country because of some paranoia when he noticed that Gale knew about the country.
Although Severus didn't show any inappropriateness, Gale was a little wilted. But this state of lack of energy disappeared as soon as the first dish was served. It was as if Gail had been hungry for days and hadn't eaten, sweeping through the dishes that kept coming up, and his hands were so fast that they almost had an afterimage.
By the time he was seven or eight minutes full, Gale finally slowed down. Although immortality is his ultimate goal, the desire for food is also one of the additional conditions that Gail cannot give up. Gail is not at all ashamed of this.
Severus had never seen Gail so active at a meal, and he lowered his eyes and decided to let the elves of the Prince family start learning the art of cooking from all over the world. China is the first to be the first to learn, and the second is France.
After lunch, the two of them took a taxi to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, intending to have a look at Diagon Alley.
Unlike the streets of London, which are festive for the upcoming Christmas, there's a sense of tension throughout the bar. Tom, the bartender, nervously wipes the glass with a rag, and even gets dirty from some clean cups.
The sound of two people entering the door made the people in the bar collectively shake a spirit, and they were relieved to see that the person who came was not a black-robed wizard.
Gail's good mood for lunch immediately disappeared and he frowned.
Severus also frowned as he stood behind Gail, but there were too many people here to say anything substantial, so he just motioned to Gale with his eyes and hurried into Diagon Alley.
When the two of them reached the back door, the orange-yellow flame in the fireplace suddenly turned green, and several wizards wearing black robes and patterned masks came out of the fireplace. Tom didn't take the cup in his hand for a moment, and dropped it on the bar with a crisp thud, attracting the attention of the three black-robed wizards who had just come out of the fireplace.
The black-robed wizard walked over to Tom behind the bar, and the entire Leaky Cauldron seemed to have frozen air, and there seemed to be no sound of breathing.
A dull and hollow voice came from behind the mask, and it was the black-robed wizard who spoke: "Old Tom—"
"Yes! Be! Tom replied twice in quick succession, to show his sincere fear.
"Knight Walpas is going to change his life to a Death Eater, and I'm going to use your bulletin board." The other party took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it to Tom a little arrogantly, "Don't bother me, don't call it wrong." ”
Gail and Seaver didn't continue to listen when they heard this, but continued to walk towards the back door. The other party is obviously just passing by the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and if he doesn't hurry into Diagon Alley, he will inevitably bump into the other party. Gail can't guarantee that he will calmly ignore all the other party's actions that make him unhappy.
The people in Diagon Alley were in a hurry, and there was no festive joy on their faces, and some shops were even closed and not open. Gail and Seaver's expressions involuntarily became more solemn.
The two men walked a few steps to the bulletin board and saw a daily Prophet. It reads in large length, "The Ministry of Magic has issued a new decree to investigate the family situation of all wizards", and the date is a week ago.
"Let's go, let's go to the bookstore." Severus grabbed Gale and headed to the bookstore. But before the two of them could take a few steps away from the bulletin board, the voice they had heard in the Leaky Cauldron Bar came from behind them: "The two in front, stop." ”
Gail's heart tightened, and he grabbed Seaver and quickened his pace as if he hadn't heard.
The three black-robed men obviously often encountered this kind of thing of people running away, and lazily talked to each other: "It's a disobedient mouse again." ”
"After catching it, I'll be obedient."
"Don't be careless, didn't you get bitten by a rat and run away last time?"
The clothes on Sever's and Gail's bodies are clearly in the style of ordinary people, and they are very conspicuous in Diagon Alley. When Gail realized this, he immediately pulled Sivor and hid him in the shadows of a corner, covering the two of them with a spiritual shield.
After having the exercises obtained from the jade, the cover made by Gail is no longer transparent and colorless, but can be integrated into the surrounding scenery, completely making the people in the cover really hidden. Naturally, the three black-robed wizards didn't notice Gail and Seaver who were hiding, but went to the front to find them.
"It looks like it's going bad." Gail said to Syver, letting go of the hand holding Silver, and poked his head out to glance at the backs of the three black-robed Death Eaters.
Severus was a little upset because he was let go of Gale and felt that his arms were being taken over by the cold air again. But because of such a thing, Seaver didn't pay much attention to the change in his mood, but put more attention on what Gale said: "Indeed. In this way, Gringotts really can't go. ”
"In that case, let's not hang out outside. Seaver, is there anything you particularly want? Gail asked, turning his head.
Severus shook his head: "Originally, I wanted to buy some herbs, but I didn't have to come in person, I could ask Dudu to come." And the vanishing cabinet you mentioned. ”
"Then let's go back, if there is something to get the elves to come. Only the old manor will have elves born, and they will not be in any danger outside. Gail took Sever's hand and pressed the button of Sever's trench coat.
After Sever's nod, the buttons on the portkey's trench coat were activated, and the two men were returned to the hall of Prince Manor.
The encounter in Diagon Alley made the two of them feel down, and after Gail handed over the trench coat to Pounce, he collapsed listlessly on the sofa, looking half-dead: "It's still started!" ”
"Gail, you're not happy?" Compared to Gail, who already knew what would happen next and how many hemp wizards would die, Seaver didn't know what kind of tragedy would be caused if this situation continued, but he was still uneasy. It's a mess, it's uncomfortable.
Gail let out a sigh of relief when he saw a worried look on Severus's deep face. He adjusted his posture and chose a comfortable way to support his head with one hand and smiled at Seaver: "It's nothing, it's just a little infected by that kind of love." ”
Severus didn't speak, glanced at Gale to make sure he was really fine, and turned to change his clothes and drink the abort potion. By the time he returned to the living room, Gail had not changed his clothes and drank the abort potions, but he was already energetically eating the snacks sent by the elves.
When Young Gail saw Severus, who was several models younger than himself, he couldn't help but hold Severus into his arms and kissed Young Severus fiercely: "Don't always frown and keep a straight face!" It's going to age fast! ”
Looking at the young Seaver, who couldn't break free from his arms with his hands and feet, Gail smiled proudly. It wasn't until the other party didn't know whether he was exerting too much force or was so angry that his whole face turned red that Gail released Seaver from his arms, raised his chin and hummed a song that he didn't know what tune it was, and went to change his clothes.
After Christmas, Gale and Seaver, who were soon to return to school, found that the fireplace of the founder's manor could lead to the school, and couldn't help but ask Godric, who had been staying in the mural of the manor, a little worried.
"Oh, that's to make it easier for Gail and me to go back to school!" Godric sat on one of the chairs painted on the mural and said, "The original destination was my dormitory, which is now the headmaster's office, but it was closed when Sal and I died. Now it's probably because you inherited the manor and repaired Hogwarts' defenses! Don't worry, only you can, no one else. ”
The last sentence indicates the fact that no other student will reach the founder's estate through the guò fireplace. This put Gail and Seaver at ease.
On Homecoming, the two boarded the Hogwarts Express with a space box that didn't hold anything important. This is thanks to Godric's collection. I don't know where Godric got an ancient alchemical artifact, which turned out to be storage jewelry, although it could only hold dead things.
Considering that such a thing is too rare, and the alchemy of the visible storage is no longer enough to create such a delicate and small space product, the two still took their suitcases as a cover, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.
On the train, Gail and Seaver are not the first to encounter Lily, but the "Road Raiders" trio. As soon as James in the lead saw Gail, he rushed through the crowd like a large dog and pounced: "Gail! Do you like my Christmas present to you? I see you fly well, you'll love it! ”
If a Potter wants to please someone, then an ordinary blow can't hinder a Potter's enthusiasm. James gave Gail a broomstick and a potions box for Sever, and then wrote his gift in a letter to Lily, along with the Christmas present for Lily, and sent it to Evans' house.
Because of this, Lily said hello to James with a smile just now, saying that she liked each other's gifts, which made James feel like he had been doped.
"James!" Siris and Remus chased after them from behind, and when they saw Gail, they hurriedly greeted: "Hey, Ge...... Gail, Severus! How's Christmas going? ”
"Thank you for the gift, I'm sorry for my late gift." Gail was a little weak-hearted. He and Severus didn't think about these three people when they chose gifts, but on Christmas morning, they saw gifts belonging to these three people under the Christmas tree. In such a situation, it would be really rude to ignore each other's Christmas presents, so Gail and Seaver hurried to make up three gifts and gave them to each other at noon on Christmas-
