Chapter 602: Ariana, Hogsmeade

John finds his gift in his bedroom.

Well, a lot.

So much so that John almost couldn't get into the dormitory.

He picked up a random box and opened it, and the pink box inside made John suspect that the contents of the box were not serious.

Basil flew inside, and the whole bird was shaking.

Don't doubt it, it's angry.

Because it found itself in the time of its absence, there were a lot of owls invading its territory.

John had to give it a dozen small dried fish to let it deflat.

He was sure that if Basil was in the bedroom, the owls would probably fill the room.

As a territory-minded owl, Basil has always been petty.

"I think I need to find some time to open the gift again."

It was no secret to the wizarding world that he had attended Hogwarts, and that these gifts had been given to him by his admirers or those who wanted to please him.

I'm afraid it will take a few days just to open the gifts.

John was going to wait until the evening to solve the problem.

"Hopefully the uncles didn't send something that would explode."

His eyes swept over the gifts, and the only thing he was worried about was a few grenades sent by his uncles.

Heading to the auditorium, John enjoyed the auditorium by himself.

Asked for a glass of water and bread, he simply settled a meal.

Taking out his pocket watch and looking at the time, he thought it was time for Ariana to wake up and open the present.

A door appeared behind him, and John turned and walked over.

The door opened, and John saw his old mother.

John: "? ”

He stared suspiciously at Lady Wick, who was confronting the Stars, and then at Ariana, who poked her head out.

"Mom, why are you here?"

With a wave of his hand, the star spirits dispersed.

The little ones were frightened by Mrs. Wick.

Mrs. Wick's eyes turned from total black back to normal, and she thought for a moment, then pulled Ariana over and said; "I need to protect my daughter from being abducted to some strange place."

If you want to come, just say it, where do you refer to Sang and scold Huai?

John was speechless, but he couldn't say anything to his old mother.

"Well, now you should see that this is not a strange place, and there are no strange uncles, only your son."

"No, I think Christmas is fine here." Mrs. Wick winked at her son.

John is indifferent to the old mother's behavior of being cute at a young age.

But now that Mrs. Wick is here, what about Daddy?

...

"Wife, Ariana."

Watson searched all the rooms, but he didn't see his wife and daughter.

He rushed to Kiki, grabbed its wings, and said viciously, "What about my wife and children? ”

Kiki: "...... is there something wrong with it, do you expect me to speak?"

But fortunately, Qiqi can't speak, which doesn't mean Watson won't look for clues.

He saw the cards that had been spit out by the flames.

At a glance, I recognized the handwriting of my son above.

"Okay, carry me to John."

Watson is gone, the wizarding world is so interesting, how can you do this!

He immediately armed himself and put on his custom-made wizard's robes and put on his wizard's hat.

"What's the downside...... Pregnant! ”

Watson rummaged through his warehouse and pulled out a wand.

Well, usually Tom bites and plays, and is hidden by some bad parent and keeps it for himself.

Fully equipped, Watson stood in front of the mirror with a stinky face.

"You're like a wizard."

Admiring himself, Watson took out his card and swaggered to the fireplace.

With a dashing throw, the card flew into the fireplace.

Then the cards burn up and burn to ashes.

Watson stood like that in front of the fireplace for a long time.

He reached over and was licked by tongues of fire, causing him to retract his hand in a hurry.

"Can this pass?"

Watson was deeply skeptical.

A stick of wood was thrown inside, and the fireplace flame burned even brighter.

He felt himself inside, presumably able to fuel the flames for a few hours.

After repeated confirmations, Watson finally understood.

I was abandoned.

"Rebel!" Watson gritted his teeth.

I don't take myself with myself when I go to the wizarding world, and I'm lawless!

Breath shivering cold.

Watson waved his wand like a madman at Wick's house.

He rushed out of the house, crashed headfirst into the snowman he had built yesterday, and punched and kicked the snowman.

The surveillance agents glanced at each other.

"He's ...... Lose your marbles? ”

"I think he might be under too much pressure."

An older agent calmly analyzed, "Or rather, he deliberately showed us in order to make us take it lightly." ”

"Makes sense!" The young agent adores the analysis of his predecessors.

The old agent smoked a cigarette and said in a deep voice, "It's you, Watson Wick, who discovered our existence a long time ago." ”

"Excellent acting, it's a pity you can't fool me." The old agent sneered, "Call it a day." ”

"Call it a day?" The young agent was dumbfounded, confused, "We're going to spy on him." ”

"It's useless, he's already found us, and what he sees next is just what he wants to show us."

The old agent said coldly: "Even if this time is his victory, leave first, otherwise we will never see the real Watson Wick." ”

"Okay." Once again, the young agent was convinced by the old agent and believed in him.

As everyone knows, it was just a sad old man who was thrown down by his wife and children.

...

Hogsmeade.

Mrs. Wick entered the village full of wizards and had an itchy feeling in her hands.

It's like an instinct hidden in the blood.

It's the aftermath of that massive witch hunt.

Ariana looked at her surroundings and refused to let go.

She held the bear cub and walked through the village full of wizards.

This is John's Christmas present.

A tour that makes Ariana a novelty.

Although John didn't come home, he was able to get Ariana over.

He took off Ariana's bracelet, reached for his wand, and whispered, "I'm here." ”

By John's side, Ariana doesn't need a binding bracelet.

Mrs. Wick was attracted to the Wizard Costume Store, and she thought it would be a good idea to arrange a few for Ariana.

You won't know why, but ice cream is especially popular in winter.

Is this the same as eating hot pot in summer?

John saw Filch there and took out Florin Fosco's membership card and two strawberry mapo tofu-flavored ice creams from them.

One eats herself, and the other she hands to Ms. Pince.

The two of them talked and laughed, and even Filch's usual habitual hunchback stood up.

After thinking about it, John had better keep this secret himself.

"Would you like a warm butterbeer?" John gestured to the three broomsticks tavern.

Ariana leaned over the glass and looked in, curious.

It was overcrowded, causing Ariana to retreat in fear.

"Mr. Wick," said the owner of the Wizard's Costume Store at the Grace brand, and said respectfully to John, "your mother has bought thirteen women's robes. ”

John took out a money bag from his handbag and said to the boss, "Make my mom happy." ”

The boss's hand that picked up the money bag almost hit the ground, and the money power was activated.

The boss smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and nodded again and again to indicate that he would be well entertained.

John saw that Ariana didn't like crowded taverns, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's change places, I think you'll go too." ”

Ariana tilted her head, not knowing where to go.

...

Pig's Head Tavern.

This place is almost like a garbage can in a slum compared to three brooms.

In the shop, the goats came out and bleated.

Aberforth, the boss, was holding his chin and was bored.

Since Voldemort stepped down, even the Dark Wizard who brought him here for consumption has disappeared.

Go on, I'm afraid he's going to go out of business.

"Jingle bells."

The door was opened.

Aberforth looked slowly, and he figured out which dark wizard had come here to trade.

But at this glance, it was as if he had been petrified by someone.

Little by little, his eyes widened, and Aberforth's mouth made a 'ho' leaking sound.

"Not welcome?" John stood in the doorway and asked.

Aberforth stared at his back, the wand-wielding girl surveying the empty tavern with a curious gaze.

"Ariana."

He finally spoke.

But the calm of the mouth became choked.

Ariana had a sense of familiarity when she saw the old man.

She used the voice that Aberforth had not heard for a long time, but which she did not dare to forget.

"Brother."

...
