Chapter 214: Shirley's Secret

Rove and Shirley walked around the lake for a long time before returning to the cabin.

Probably because the dinner party was not full, and the dance consumed a lot of physical strength, they both would be a little hungry.

So, the fish caught during the day came in handy.

At the door of the hut, the two set up a barbecue grill and grilled the fish on the bonfire.

Rove also extravagantly opened a bottle of wine left behind by Hufflepuff.

Although he was not a good drinker, he wanted to taste the taste of wine that had been preserved for thousands of years.

This is not wine, it is the precipitation of time and history!

Sitting by the campfire, Rove looked at the girl beside him, he shook the wine bottle, and asked, "Shirley, do you want some?" ”

Shirley was holding the lemon and spilling the juice on the fish, when she raised her head and said softly, "Okay." ”

Rove picked up another glass and poured some wine into it, but not much.

The previous Christmas, he, Shirley, Hermione, and Dumbledore had dinner at the Hog's Head Bar in Aberforth.

At that time, Shirley got drunk after a few glasses of mead.

Since then, she has barely drunk a bit, and occasionally drinks a little alcohol, which is an ultra-low alcohol drink like butterbeer, to ensure that she does not get drunk.

Therefore, Rove did not pour too much wine for Shirley, who had a very poor amount of alcohol, but the girl took the initiative tonight: "Pour more." ”

Rove chuckled and said, "This wine is not low, and it is easy to get drunk." ”

"It's fine." Shirley blinked, smiled and said, "I'll sleep when I'm drunk, just carry me back to my room when the time comes." ”

Rove laughed too, Shirley really wasn't like Hermione, who would go crazy when she was drunk.

He lifted the bottle, and this time he finally filled it for her.

The two touched the cup slightly, and then Shirley smiled and narrowed her eyes into crescents, holding the cup in both hands, and took a small sip of an amber liquid that was more expensive than gold.

The girl suddenly felt the wine flow through her throat and warm her spleen and stomach, and her cheeks turned red all at once.

Shirley savored the taste of the tip of her tongue, a very special feeling, as if she had tasted nuts, oak, fruit and the taste of midsummer.

She took another sip and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's delicious." ”

"It's really delicious." Rove was also savoring the taste, and compared to this bottle, the wine he had drunk before tasted like crude horse urine.

Rove was inexplicably melancholy.

The good news is that this wine is really delicious, and the bad news is that this wine is a non-renewable resource, and you can drink one bottle less.

And he only has a thousand bottles!

I feel so uncomfortable!!

Shirley's cheeks turned crimson, she took another sip and asked curiously, "Rove, does this wine have a name?" ”

The corners of Rov's mouth curled, "Shirley." ”

When Shirley heard the boy call her name, she tilted her head and looked puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

Rove couldn't help but stretch out his hand, tapped her nose with his fingertips, and said with a gentle smile:

"I'm talking about the name of the wine...... It's just like you, it's called Shirley. ”

The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the wine in her hand in a daze.

This thousand-year-old bottle of wine has the same name as himself, and he still drank it...... At this moment, Shirley felt extremely wonderful.

She took another sip of sherry and suddenly asked:

"Rove, you said we drank Professor Hufflepuff's treasured wine, would she come to trouble us?"

"Professor Hufflepuff has been dead for a thousand years." Rove laughed dumbly and said, "Unless she cheats the corpse, how can she trouble us." ”

"But don't forget." Shirley blinked, "Hermione's time-turner, in Professor Hufflepuff's possession." ”

"You can come back from a thousand years ago, and she can use a time turner to come to this era."

Rove was stunned and said, "That makes sense." ”

He had wondered why Hufflepuff had hidden so much wine and not drunk it himself...... It's as stupid as saving a lot of money and burying it all in the ground instead of spending it before you die.

But if she's going to use a time turner, come to the future and drink again, it makes sense.

Thinking of this, Rove's face suddenly changed and said, "Oops." ”

"What's wrong?" Shirley asked hurriedly.

"I went to the kingdom of Nadia to buy elven jewelry, all with Professor Hufflepuff's money." Rove said.

"In order to get her to lend me money, I gave her a high interest rate and made an IOU."

“……”

Rove was speechless, he felt that he had to go back to the future anyway, and even if he had an IOU, Hufflepuff would not have any money...... Little did she know that she would leave the time turner behind!

After a thousand years of profit, Rove now can't figure out how much he owes Hufflepuff.

When she came, she found that the wine she had hidden for a thousand years was hoarded by Rove...... I can't think about that picture!

"What then?" Shirley asked.

Rove took a big sip of wine and suppressed his shock, and he thought for a moment and said:

"It's okay, when Hufflepuff does come, we'll let her prove that she's a Hufflepuff...... I also said, 'I'm Merlin, money,' who would believe me!. ”

“……”

At this time, the fish on the bonfire are already slightly browned, and the tender white flesh is exposed to the air, with an attractive aroma.

Rove divided the grilled fish in half and handed Shirley half of it, and the two of them continued to talk about how to be a fool and get rid of the money owed to Hufflepuff as they ate the fish.

The girl took a small bite of the fish and suddenly asked:

"Rove, can you tell me about Ravenclaw?"

"Why did you suddenly become interested in her?" Rove asked.

Shirley whispered, "Do you remember that letter that Ravenclaw left you?" ”

Rove nodded.

In her secret room, Ravenclaw left him a letter that spanned thousands of years, and it explained a lot of things.

"At the end of that letter, it says, 'Take care of Helena and the girl who will be able to enter my grave.'" Shirley looked up at Rove and said softly:

"I can enter her graveyard, isn't that what I mean?"

"What do you think?" Rove asked.

"The orphanage where I live is near the Ravenclaw cemetery, and I still have access to her grave." Shirley was silent for a moment and said:

"I ...... Could it be a descendant of Ravenclaw, who can enter the cemetery because of her bloodline? ”

"Impossible." Rove shook his head with certainty and said:

"Rowena Ravenclaw only has one daughter, Helena, and after Helena's death, the bloodline of the Ravenclaw family is completely severed, and you can't be her descendant."

"Is that so?" Shirley was a little confused, and she whispered, "Rove, I actually have a secret that I have always wanted to tell you. ”

"Secret?" Rove was stunned.

"I can change my appearance."

"I know." Rove said, "Didn't you master the art of human transfiguration very early?" ”

"Nope." Shirley shook her head, her long red hair suddenly turned golden, she looked at the young man, and said seriously:

"Actually...... I'm Maggs. ”
