Chapter 685: Three Broomsticks Bar (Sincere thanks to the alliance leader for nagging Tang)

Alan didn't go to the Great Hall after leaving the Headmaster's Office, remembering his promise to Godric Gryffindor, and decided to go to Hogsmeade - he had also called Hermione and Luna, and it was clear that he couldn't go to the lively Great Hall to eat now.

Soon outside the castle, Helena floated behind Luna and floated towards Ellen. At the same time, Hermione came running from the other direction, and she rushed over as soon as she received news from Allen in the Gryffindor dormitory.

When she saw Ms. Gray Helena, Hermione stopped all of a sudden-this should be the daughter of Alan and Luna, thinking of this, Hermione's heart couldn't help but be angry and sour, but after seeing the other party's translucent body up close, thinking of the history of Ms. Gray that she knew, Hermione felt a little distressed about this girl, who died in the most beautiful years, and had not fully seen the prosperity of the world......

However, Hermione's current presence also made Alan notice that something was wrong, and he planned to find a chance to talk to Hermione alone about Helena, he had only explicitly admitted this relationship to his family in the Ministry of Magic, and he owed Hermione and Penelope an explanation.

Alan originally wanted to take Hermione and Luna Apparition to Hogsmeade, but he didn't expect Helena, who had barely been out of the castle, to come out with her. Seeing his daughter silently following behind his mother, Alan had some thoughts about being a father, as a ghost of the house, Helena, who had lost her mortal feelings, should have not left Hogwarts for a long time, and he wanted to take his daughter to see Hogsmeade. Young wizards love Hogsmeade, and Helena probably does.

Alan beckoned to Helena, but the other party just floated a little closer in Allen's direction in response, "Let's go shopping with us, Helena, you haven't been out for a long time, right?" Then Alan turned to Hermione, "Hermione, I guess you can call her Helena, Lady Gray is not her real name." ”

Hermione struggled inwardly and took the initiative to say hello to Helena: "Hello...... Helena, you can call me Hermione. ”

Helena didn't respond, she barely spoke to any of the other houses except Ravenclaw, she just maintained her etiquette and said hello to Hermione as a ladylike - she didn't like women other than her mother who were too close to her father.

The atmosphere became tense and awkward again.

"By the way, I forgot what Professor McGonagall was looking for me just now, I'll go back for a while, don't wait for me. Hermione felt that she was a little redundant in front of the family of three, and she didn't want to ruin the reunion moment of the other party, so she wanted to make an excuse to slip away.

Luna grabbed Hermione and smiled at her, "Don't worry about Hermione, I think you know that Helena doesn't like to talk much, and as for Professor McGonagall, you can come back to her when you come back, let's go have a meal first - the auditorium is full of eggs right now." ”

"Let's go, Hermione, I'll tell you a few things in a moment. Alan extended another invitation to Hermione in a gentle voice, and after receiving a somewhat reluctant nod of approval, he took the lead and walked outside.

As if the rain never stopped, Alan cast a waterproof and moisture-proof spell superimposed on several people, expanding the scope of the small spell that was originally only used on glasses or bathroom glass, covering himself and Hermione Luna, and then took out the temporary wand for teaching, distorting the tip of its wand into a rather large black umbrella, and he beckoned the girls and female ghosts to walk in.

And Ron, who had just rescued his sister Ginny from the feces-smelling auditorium with Harry, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene, why did Mrs. Gray, who had never left the castle, follow them outside? Thinking of Luna's performance and oppressive power on the night of the Ministry of Magic battle, Ron couldn't help but wonder if that rumor was true, could Luna really be Ravenclaw?

He hurried his little sister back to Gryffindor's quarters, then beckoned Harry and Neville and Flleg, who had been close to him for the past few days, and began to follow Alan and the others.

"We ......," Neville realized he was a little louder, and he lowered his voice, "Why are you following Eren?"

Harry also questioned Ron, "Ron, what do you think happened to Eren again......"

Ron was a little helpless at the Lionhouse's loud voice at this time: "Be quiet, it's not Alan, it's Harris, it's a crazy girl! Think about how the crazy girl felt that night! And Ms. Gray had a weird relationship with her a few years ago, and now think about that rumor, doesn't it make sense?"

"If you don't take me, I'll tell Professor McGonagall!" Ginny sprang up from behind them, and even if he didn't want to, Ron had to let his sister join in, and as one of the members of the Headmaster's office on the night of the Ministry of Magic's battle, Ginny wasn't going to give up on the adventure and the investigation.

This wasn't because of hostility towards Allen, but because of Gryffindor's adventurous gossip and secrets.

However, their stealth skills were clearly poor, and even Hermione, who had heard their movements before the Gryffindor had followed them into her Dementor's range, looked at Alan Luna helplessly, shook her head, and let them go—which at least made Hermione feel that his friends and classmates had eased some of the awkward atmosphere in her own group.

Being a ghost wasn't without its benefits, and Helena looked at the surrounding scenery with a blank face, feeling that it was great that she didn't have to set foot on the muddy path. If it weren't for her father's request to stay under an umbrella, she could have even ignored the pouring rain – but the feeling of being spoiled was not bad.

As if they were deliberately working against them, the rain stopped as soon as they arrived in Hogsmeade.

Alan led them straight to the Three Broomsticks, where Hogsmeade was served with the Pig's Head Bar, but Alan decided to eat at the Three Broomsticks, which was more popular with the students, as soon as he thought that the owner of the tavern was Dumbledore's brother Aberforth Dumbledore, the tattered wooden sign hanging from the rusty stand on the door, the rough food and drinks in their house, and the people of all the religions who came and went.

This was not the time for the students to go to Hogsmeade, and due to the weather, Hogsmeade Village seemed much more deserted than usual, except for a few wizards who came to buy in a hurry and Aurors patrolling in the rain, it was Alan and the Gryffindor Five behind them.

Alan pushed open the door to the three-broom bar, Hermione and Luna slipped into it with Helena, and Alan flicked the water to clean it up after turning the umbrella back into a wand, and followed closely after putting it away, unlike the usual crowded, noisy, hot and smoky situation, there were only a few customers in the bar at this time.

Arranging for the girls to take their seats, Alan walked to the bar a few steps away, and the curvaceous Lady Rosmerta was napping, but her eyes lit up after noticing Alan's approach, and she swayed forward to greet her: "Yo, Alan, Professor Harris, are you back at Hogwarts, what is the wind blowing you here......?" Is that Ms. Gray?"

"Hello Miss Rothmertha, it's a misfortune to say that there's been an accident in the Great Hall at Hogwarts right now - don't worry isn't that bad, so my friends and I stopped over for some dinner. Alan gently shook the other party's hand that was stretched out, shook it slightly politely, and then let go, "Please get me a few barrels of wine when you leave, if you want real wine, just give me the oak barrels." ”

Rosmerta's slender fingers were aligned, and she twisted slightly, changing into a comfortable position, maintaining a chuckle on the surface, but there was some fear and worry in her heart: "Okay, no problem, Mr. Allen, Mr. Harris, did you buy this wine for the Minister? That's really my pleasure, but I beg your pardon, I'll have to make sure there's still stock in the cellar later...... You know, it's not been a lot lately and I haven't booked much. ”

"Oh, don't worry, Miss Rothmerta, you're not from the Flint family. Alan saw through her thoughts, he was not allowed to drink under the age of majority, so he explained: "Even if you want to fish for law enforcement, I don't think I need to come forward in person, I just get along well with the giant squid in the black lake, he told me that he likes to drink, so I decided to send a few barrels every day, if you are still worried, you can send someone to help us send it......"

"Oh, you misunderstood Professor Harris, I just ......" Rosmerta twisted her body, her slightly raised eyes flashed, she didn't continue to entangle, and she didn't ask Alan if she called the giant squid in the black lake his suspicion, she propped her upper body on the table to make her curves more obvious, and then pushed the menu over: "So, dear Professor Harris, what kind of wine does the giant squid like?"

Alan's gaze swept over the menu, he wasn't really much of a fan of alcohol, preferring to keep a clear head: "Forget about non-alcoholic butterbeer, a barrel each for redcurrant rum and fish-flavored green beer, oh? You have American-style gurgling spirits? This needs a barrel...... We'll be working together in this business for a lot longer than you think, Ms. Rosmerta—and I'll send my house-elf to fetch three barrels a day, and you'd better prepare a few more flavors. ”

"That's great news at times like this, what do you want to eat today? I'll make it for you myself." Ms. Rosmerta lowered her body, and now she smiled more genuinely and seductively.

Hermione, who was at the table on the side, noticed this scene, frowned and couldn't help standing up anymore, she walked quickly to the bar, and said to Alan: "Alan, you go and look at the menu first, I'll talk about the price." ”
