Chapter 63: Ralph's Home
【Decanting Mantra】
This is the first time Ralph was drunk by Aberforth, and he invented it with great concentration.
Although Aberforth was educated by the villagers after that time, Ralph was not at ease, this old man had a lot of thoughts!
What kind of wine-flavored pastries and wine-hearted chocolates, he has not experienced them.
And these little snacks that brought Ralph a little drunkenness, the elders of the village didn't care, and even enjoyed it, at most laughing and scolding Aberforth.
Ralph summoned a piece of parchment from the pig's head bar, and with a wave of his wand, a tiny flame swam wildly across the paper.
Aberforth raised an eyebrow when he saw all this.
Soon, words written in black scorch marks appeared on parchment.
Aberforth took the parchment and said:
"Not bad! I learned a lot in school. ”
"Thanks to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's guidance." Ralph replied frankly.
"He, I thought it was Felius?" Aberforth looked at the content and nodded, writing very clearly.
"Wow! And its own byline. Tsk~" Aberforth pouted.
Ralph gave him a blank look.
"Professor Flitwick is also very good, he approved this leave." Ralph said, suggesting that he should not speak ill of others, what if he didn't come back?
"Of course, anyone who can be a dean has the potential to become a principal."
Aberforth praised that in private he and Filius had a good relationship, and that they had the same hobbies and recognized his strengths.
"That's ...... Why are you experimenting with me! ”
As soon as Ralph tried to respond, Aberforth raised his wand, and a wave-colored beam of light shot towards Ralph.
In an instant, it spread all over his body, and he could feel the cool breath hovering in his brain, and the cool feeling of blood swimming in his blood vessels.
"Hmm~ It's very easy to use. Next, I'm going to see who dares to get drunk in my shop. ”
Aberforth said, winking at Ralph and ignoring his complaints.
The four Claudes on the side not only widened their eyes as they watched Aberforth cast a spell that he had never learned before just looking at the parchment for a moment.
Although Aberforth lived in the shadow of his brother during his school years, this does not mean that his talent is necessarily weaker than others.
As a dueling enthusiast, his talent for spells was not even weaker than that of his older brother.
Although Albus is the best in Transfiguration, Aberforth is also a person who has a brilliant record of being certified by the Ministry of Magic.
After saying goodbye to Aberforth, Ralph took Claude and the others home for the next dinner.
Of course, he also has something to prepare.
Taking advantage of the bright sky, several people walked into the path.
It's the turn of summer and autumn, the climate is a little cooler, and because it is above the snow line, the trail is still covered with a thin layer of snow on the uncleared trail
The four of them walked not far away through the fine snow.
On the way, William and the others talked to Ralph about what happened today.
Especially the one at the Three Broomsticks Bar.
After hearing this, Ralph asked calmly:
"She didn't tell you anything, did she?"
"Miss Romesta said, if we don't answer, we'll beat you."
Daniel whispered, glancing at Ralph to see the twitching corners of his mouth.
"It's okay, she's always been like this, I've been used to it for a long time."
......
William, Daniel, and Claude, like silly roe deer, stepped on the snow, listening to the crisp sound, it was very interesting.
Soon, we arrived at Ralph's house.
This two-story cabin has a basement and I don't know if it has it.
The roof sloped at a great angle, but a loose layer of snow still piled up on top of it, as if it would slide off at the slightest sound.
In front of the hut is a small courtyard enclosed by a polished birch fence, and the entrance is a fence gate of the same material.
Raise your hand and knock lightly on the fence door, the door will open automatically, and at the same time, the magic flame arranged in the courtyard will also rise, glowing with white and yellow light, illuminating the courtyard.
Behind the fence gate is a cobblestone path that leads to a staircase not far away, and the door to the house is when you climb the stairs.
In the middle of the path is a magical flame that is placed inside a pebble, and the light it emits does not form a shadow.
Ralph calls it the Shadow Assassin, which means the magic flame that kills the shadow, but of course, it doesn't have the ability to kill the shadow, at most it's just a light that can turn.
The other magic flames are located in the fence door shaft and on the floor in the middle of the hallway in front of the house.
The cobblestones are flanked by lawns, and on the left hand side of the entrance near the wooden house is a shelf, on which crawls some kind of plant, emitting a faint green light.
It was a glow-in-the-dark vine, but its glow was hard to see when Ralph turned on the "light".
On the right-hand side, near the side of the wooden house, is a large chair with silver-white cushions, which looks very comfortable.
On one side of the path, there is a row of flower beds, the flowers in which are still verdant and not covered with snow, as if they are protected by magic.
The flower garden is a little next to the wooden house, and on the left, there is a smooth stone round table, and there are several round stone piers around it that are used as stools.
Ralph led them inside, and the four of them looked around curiously, neat and natural, this was their first impression.
During the introduction, Ralph focused on the vine, which William was most curious about, as they had seen its glowing green from afar.
Now they know the name of the vine, and what kind of fruit it is, whether it can be eaten, and whether it is good or not.
In their eyes, isn't this the grape of the wizarding world?
Walking down the cobblestone path and stepping up a short flight of steps, the corridor aisle of the wooden house, slender and empty at both ends, Ralph didn't think about putting anything on it,
The top slope on the aisle is steep, and unlike the roof, it is forward-facing. And the roof is one to the left and one to the right.
Gently tapped the door, and the main door opened.
The room turned from darkness to light in an instant.
Although from the outside, the interior space of the house will be relatively small.
But in reality, the interior is quite spacious.
The first floor looks very spacious.
As soon as you enter the living room, there are several blackened mahogany round tables of different sizes, and opposite the large sofa is a one-man high fireplace, and on the side of the fireplace near the door, there are several brooms.
Then came the kitchen, bathroom,
The kitchen is about the size of the living room, and it is also a place to eat.
Ascending the stairs, Ralph led a few people to the second floor, which was smaller and divided into two compartments.
On the side of the staircase is the lounge area, where a small comfortable sofa is placed on the side of the shelf, and there is a small cushion and throw pillow on the sofa.
On the other side is Ralph's bedroom.
After walking them around his cabin, Ralph led them to the living room on the first floor and sat down and brought them a few cups of tea.
Estimating that they might not be accustomed to drinking bitter tea, they added some sad worm nectar and the nectar of a flower that made people laugh.
With his tea in hand, Ralph returned to the living room, put the tea on the table, and went to prepare his own things.
Of course, he drank serious tea himself.
