Chapter 57: The World Cup? What's that (two-in-one)
The sun rose as usual, and he didn't hide under the horizon because a little wizard was caught last night on a night tour.
Lovell emerged from his cabin, ready for the day.
Today it's going to play with Fred and George. I did the two of them so much a favor last night, do they have to show a little?
Dumbledore wasn't in the office today, so Lovell ran out after eating and followed the line he remembered to outside the Gryffindor common room.
Looking at the familiar fat lady, Lovell knew he was in the wrong place.
When Lovell saw the fat lady, the fat lady also noticed the little wolf cub who was looking around, she put the breakfast wine in her hand on the round table, and said, "Even if you are a wolf, you need a password to get in, so ...... Password? β
Password? How could Lovell know the password for the Gryffindor common room, although it had watched the door of the common room be pushed open by Fred last night, it was opened from the inside, and there was no need to say the password.
In the end, the wolf cub chose to use the password from the principal's office to fool around: "Dragon's blood ice cream? β
The fat lady shook her head: "The password is wrong, I'm sorry I can't let you in." β
Wolf cub: _(:3"β )_
Naturally, you can't get in without a passwordβit can't tear up the portrait in front of you, right? So the wolf cub lay on his stomach in the open space in front of the common room, like a new gatekeeper in the Gryffindor Tower.
Lovell's idea was simple, as long as I stayed in front of the Gryffindor Tower, I could always wait for Fred and George, and then they would be able to play together. As for Fred, they were going to class, and there was no time to play with the possibility of themselves, and the wolf cub didn't think about it at all. In the world of wolves, there is no such thing as "class", or "play" is the lesson of wolf cubs. In the process of playing, they learn the art of hunting and develop a sense of synergy.
The wolf cub was lying outside the common room, feeling a little bored, so it began to stare at the fat lady in the portrait.
The fat lady was enjoying her breakfast wine when she noticed a gaze.
Fat Lady: β_β
Lovell: β_β
She placed the empty wine glass on the table and asked Lovell, who had been staring at her, "What's wrong?" Can I help you? As I said, you can't enter without a password. β
"It's nothing, I'm just waiting for my friends to come out," Lovell said, "I'm still a little curious, what are you drinking?" β
It has always had a strong curiosity about Hogwarts portraits. In its view, these portraits should be the people who live in the portraits, the same life as themselves and Dumbledore.
In that case, where does their food come from? Is their daily life boring? Will they change their clothes, and if so, where do they go and where do they come from? There are so many questions to ask.
When it came to wine, the fat lady was in good spirits, and she told Lovell about the breakfast wine she had chosen.
"RosΓ© wine!" She picked up the empty wine glass, then pulled out a flask out of nowhere, and filled the glass with a pale red liquor, "The perfect choice for breakfast wine!" I don't have a headache at all after drinking it, and it has a faint fruity aroma, and I still feel like strawberries in this cup......"
Lovell knows that wine is a strange liquid invented by humans, and many people love and even obsess over it, but they have never tried it themselves, and they don't know if it's really as good as they describe.
"So what? Why are you drinking this in the morning and where did you get it from? Lovell stared at the portrait of the fat lady for a long time, but couldn't find a place where he could store alcohol.
"Got it from Violet, she's a good friend of mine, and we often taste all kinds of cuties together!" The fat lady's face lit up as she spoke of her best friend, and it was clear that she had spent a good time with the lady named Violet.
Just as the fat lady began to take stock of the drinks she and Violet had drunk, the door to the lounge suddenly swung open, and a girl with a twisted ponytail came out from behind the portrait.
She is not very old, the childishness on her face has not yet been taken off, her skin is healthy wheat, and she looks like a girl who is very good at sports.
As soon as the girl went out, she saw Lovell, who was chatting happily with the fat lady, and then she said "ah", rushed to Lovell's side with an arrow, and squatted down to carefully observe the silver ball.
"Whose puppy is this, it's so cute!" The little girl really wanted to turn the puppy in front of her back to the bedroom, but she saw that it had a bell tied around its neck, and it was neatly cared for, so she knew that it was the master, so she did not take action.
Looking at Lovell carefully, the little girl found that there seemed to be words on the bell hanging around the neck of the silver dumpling in front of her, so she muttered in her mouth: "Good, good~", and stretched out her hand to Lovell, she wanted to take the bell closer to see what was written on it.
This is clearly a bad decision.
The little girl's sudden rush in front of her did startle Lovell, but when she saw that it was a little girl, the wolf cub didn't care, but she didn't think that she would have to move an inch, and stretched out her hand to herself, not knowing what the hell she was thinking.
Lovell was a little unhappy, and he bared his "fangs" in an attempt to scare off the girl in front of him.
It's hard to say how much of a threat its intimidation can have, just by its appearance.
Fortunately, a voice came, ending the confrontation between the girl and Lovell: "Angelina, what are you doing?" β
Angelina was obviously the name of the girl in front of her, and when she heard someone shouting for herself, she stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
Fred rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked into the common room, where he found his classmate Angelina crouching outside the break room door staring at something.
"There's a super nice silver puppy outside the lounge, come and have a look!" Angelina beckoned Fred, wanting him to come and see the sudden visit of the silver gnocchi.
"Silver puppy?" Fred immediately guessed who she was talking about, and he ran to the door of the lounge in three steps and two steps, and sure enough, he saw Lovell looking at him helplessly.
"Lovell, why are you here?" He beckoned to Lovell, who didn't want to entangle Angelina for a long time, and immediately took four short legs and ran towards Fred.
"Fred, do you know this puppy?" Angelina asked with a look of surprise. The reason why she used the word "know" instead of asking Fred Lovell if it was his pet was because she and Fred had known each other for months, and if he had a dog, how could Angelina not know.
However, if Fred is very familiar with the little cutie in front of him, doesn't that mean that he can also ......?
"Of course I know it, and Lovell isn't a dog, he's a wolf!"
Lovell doesn't know how many times he and his friends have said this, and he even thinks he should wear a sign around his neck that reads, "I'm a wolf, not a dog"
Doesn't it mean that you can tell if it's a wolf or a dog by the state of the tail? Why can't you humans take a closer look?
"Oh, cool!" After learning that Lovell was a wolf and not a dog, Angelina not only didn't feel scared, but thought it was even cooler.
Come on, dogs are everywhere, but wolves are extremely rare!
As he spoke, Fred carried Lovell through the doorway behind the fat lady and led her into the Gryffindor common room.
This was Lovell's first foray into the Gryffindor House common room, which was followed by a large circular room filled with tables and soft-looking armchairs, with a bulletin board in the corner of the lounge with school notices, various advertisements, posters, and other documents. There is also a window in the room through which you can see the grounds outside the school. The most conspicuous thing in this room is the huge fireplace that takes up an entire wall, and the fire in it is bright enough to keep the lounge warm in the coldest of winters.
The whole lounge is decorated in gold and red, and the walls are covered with scarlet tapestries, on which many witches and witches are depicted, as well as many animals.
Lovell looked at everything in front of him curiously, it was a completely new experience.
"This is our lounge! Usually we relax here after school, and some people study here, but not many of us do that. Fred offered to introduce Lovell to the common room of his college.
"But there don't seem to be many people here, what about your brother George?" Lovell looked at the empty common room, wondering where Fred was talking about the students who were relaxing here.
"It's morning, everyone is either sleeping or going downstairs for breakfast, who is going to stay in the break room?" Fred explained to Lovell, "As for George, he said he was going to the bathroom, but he hasn't come out yet, maybe he was attacked by a dominatrix in the toilet. β
Angelina's eyes widened in the back: Hell, that wolf can talk?!
It was the first time she had seen a talking wolf, and she immediately approached Fred's side, trying to get Lovell's attention.
"So you can talk?" But after thinking about it, Angelina only held back such a sentence.
Lovell:......
"First mistook me for a dog, and then exclaimed, 'Wow, it can talk,' why are wizards all virtuous!" Lovell couldn't resist the urge to complain to Fred.
"Because talking wolves are really rare." Fred shrugged his shoulders: Since you're so special, don't blame the others for making a fuss.
The wolf cub thought for a moment and felt that Fred had a point.
"Well," it looked at Angelina, "as you can see, I do speak." β
Angelina showed a very bright smile: "Can I touch you?" β
"No, you can't!" It rejected Angelina's request in one gulp.
"Why?" Angelina looked a little disappointed.
"Because we don't know each other very well."
Lovell's answer was this, but in Angelina's ears, it became "you can touch me when we get acquainted", so even if Lovell refused, she was not discouraged.
"Okay then." After being rejected, she didn't continue to pester, but took a step back and told Fred that she was going to breakfast.
"Would you like to go to the auditorium for breakfast?" Fred looked at Lovell, who had run to lie down in an armchair.
"Nope." Lovell, who had eaten breakfast, did not want to go to the auditorium at all.
"Alright, Angelina, help me bring some breakfast back, thanks!" Knowing Lovell's answer, Fred asked Angelina to bring him some early back with a shy face, and he planned to play with Lovell in the break room until the first class started in the morning.
After hearing Fred's words, Angelina didn't say anything, just made an OK gesture.
Not long after Angelina left, George walked in.
"Oh, my dear brother, were you attacked by a troll in the toilet? How did it take that long? In the face of his younger brother, Fred showed no mercy.
"Shut up, Fred." George knew the knack for communicating with Fred, so he shut up Fred and started a new conversation.
"Thank you, Lovell, for helping me last night!" He reached out and shook Lovell's little paw.
"Hehe, I can't watch you guys get dragged to Filch's office!"
The two talked with Lovell about what happened last night, and from Lovell's mouth, they were surprised to learn that Filch had really caught someone last night, and he was still the prefect of Slytherin House, but the student he had just caught was immediately fished out by Snape.
"Snape is like that, favoring the students of his own house."
"That old bat! It's a pity that Professor McGonagall is not ......"
Fred and George sang in unison.
At that moment, a steaming basket landed on the table around them.
"I came back with breakfast." Angelina came back with breakfast.
"Where did you get the basket?" Fred looked shocked.
"You can always get it with a little thought." Angelina's face: This is what the basic operation looks like. At the same time, she also took out a copy of "Daily Quidditch", spread it on the table, and said in a very exaggerated tone: "The Scottish team actually won last night, and now they have really managed to break into the World Cup!" β
"What!" Fred and George no longer bothered to inquire into where the basket came from, so they stood up, grabbed the newspaper, and read it carefully.
Lovell was confused: World Cup, what is it? Quidditch, so what?
