Chapter Seventy-Two: The Invitation
Al happened to have three owls, so each of them flew to different places with different letters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hermione's family lived in London, and because it was the closest, her reply was the first to arrive. Al opened the letter and found several pieces of parchment written inside.
The first piece of paper wrote about what she was busy with during this time when she was at home.
However, after reading it, Al summed up these things very succinctly: In addition to reading, it is learning!
In the next few pieces of paper, Hermione put forward various hypotheses and possibilities for Black Gate in the form of papers, and listed dozens of star sequences, and even several ways to open the door by violent means, hoping to effectively help Al solve the problem.
Al took these pieces of paper and went to the black door to verify them one by one, but he was unsuccessful.
But because of this, Al's interest in this door also grows day by day, and the more he can't open it, the more curious he becomes!
Al wrote to Hermione again, inviting her to come to Aaron's Manor for a few days, and taking the opportunity to help him open the door together.
Ron's reply was delivered the next day, and in addition to greeting him, he also invited Al to his house for a while. However, Al's heart is now all on the black door, so he politely refuses him, and promises to visit him another day.
As for Harry's reply, Al waited for a long time but didn't hear back, and the letter seemed to sink into the sea, never to be heard from again.
While waiting for Hermione's reply, Al and Ah Fu went to Diagon Alley and bought many herb seeds and planted them in the greenhouse, believing that with Ah Fu's careful care, these seeds would thrive.
Hermione's reply arrived in the evening, and Al opened it, this time with very little content, just a few lines:
I'm glad you invited me, I discussed it with my parents and they both agreed that I would go to your house for a few days. I told them that your family is an old wizard family, and they are very interested and hope to follow me to your house to visit.
Please get back to me as soon as possible.
Hermione.
Al was overjoyed, and he hurriedly picked up his pen and wrote a reply.
It is my pleasure to entertain you as a family, and I will greet you promptly tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. on the Medway River, outside the city of Gillingham, from the stands on the riverbank road.
......
On Wednesday, the sky was sunny with a slight breeze.
On the road on the banks of the Medway River, a light blue car is slowly approaching.
As he drove, Mr. Granger rolled down his window and looked out at the river, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I love it, it's so beautiful." ”
Madame Granger sat next to her and nodded approvingly, the road was very quiet and quiet, the forest on the side was also leafy, full of greenery, and the river was clear and clean, it was indeed a rare beauty.
"Compared to London, it's really different. Mrs. Granger smiled and said, "It's nice to be able to come here once in a while." ”
Hermione sat in the back row, looking out the window with a faint smile on her face.
The car drove to a stop at a stand on the bank of the river.
The Granger family got out of the car, and Mr. Granger looked around, there was nothing but trees and a large shoal in the river, not even cars passed by, he looked back at Hermione suspiciously, and asked, "Are you sure it's here? Why is there nothing?"
Hermione was also a little unsure, she took out Al's letter, read it twice, and finally confirmed, "It must be here, it can't be wrong." ”
"And where is your friend? Didn't you say you were going to greet us?" said Mr. Granger, looking around, but saw no one.
Hermione shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"Maybe we came too early. Mrs. Granger looked at her watch, and it was only 8:40, and it was still twenty minutes before 9.
"Actually, ma'am, I'm already here. ”
A boy's voice popped into the ears of the Grangers, but when they looked around, they still didn't see a single one!
Hermione heard Al's voice, and she shouted happily, "Al, where are you?"
"I'm here. ”
The Granger family followed the sound and saw what shocked them.
A large stone bridge suddenly appeared in front of them as if out of thin air. At the same time, at the end of the bridge, what should have been a shoal turned into an island, on which an architecturally magnificent manor house emerged.
Al stood in the middle of the bridge, he smiled and bowed, and said gracefully to the Granger family, "I'm Al Aaron, welcome to Aaron's manor, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
"Wow, magic magic!!" Mr. Granger's mouth opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger were very good-looking, both were dentists and had their own dental practice in London, and they were doing very well.
Al guided Mr. Granger into the manor, and then ushered them into the living room. As soon as they entered the living room, the Granger couple were intrigued by a dozen moving paintings hanging on the wall.
Al cleared his throat, pointed to a painting hanging in the middle, and introduced, "This is the ancestor of our Aaron family, the founder of Aaron's Manor, and my great-great-great...... Grandfather"
The man in the painting is an old man with gray hair and beard, and although he seems to be very old, his eyes are still bright.
The old man nodded kindly to the Granger family.
Mr. Granger looked down at the edge of the frame, and saw a small line written on it: Augsg Aaron (963-1056)
"Oh my God, he's from over a thousand years ago!" Mr. Granger gasped.
Al then goes on to show the Granger couple around the rest of the manor, where any magical artifact can surprise them.
In the end, Al entertained them with a sumptuous lunch.
Mr. Granger reluctantly put down his glass, he had just drunk half a glass of the best red wine made more than 200 years ago, and the taste left him with an aftertaste.
However, he knew that he didn't drink well, so Mr. Granger had no choice but to stop there.
Al saw what Mr. Granger was thinking, and he smiled and said, "I still have many barrels of these good wines in my cellar, why don't you take some with you when Mr. Granger leaves?"
Mr. Granger's face was slightly red because of the alcohol, and he was embarrassed to say, "How can such a valuable thing work......
