Chapter 144: Afternoon Tea

In a semi-open-air flower courtyard, the light is less dazzling and more quiet. The stone fountain engraved with the names of Nicola and his wife makes the air here feel cool and steamy.

The air is also filled with the faint scent of flowers, tea and desserts.

Young people lay down their backpacks, slumped into chic rocking chairs, leaned on swings surrounded by flowers and vines, and sunk into soft, airy hammocks. Even though they had walked a long way inside the castle and had come here before they arrived, and with the extra weight of their backpacks, they just wanted to rest.

In the courtyard, under the eaves, Henry and Olim sat opposite each other, a plate of refreshments between them. Next to her, a chubby female chef was holding the dining cart in one hand, taking out the last plate of refreshments and placing them on the table.

Olim bowed, and the chef smiled and nodded, who took out his wand, waved it lightly, and turned away. At the same time, on each table, these different styles of tea and desserts soared into the air and flew directly to everyone's side.

"Gollum. ”

Warm black tea poured out of the spout and fell into a porcelain cup. Watching this scene intently, the group of young people did not make a sound. It wasn't until a cup of black tea was delivered to their hands that they carefully took it and drank it slowly, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"What if...... If only there were cold drinks. ”

It was a boy with a wide body who spoke, played for a long time, and walked all the way, and the classmates only had a little sweat on their foreheads, but he was the only one who was wet on the front placket and armpits. Looking at the steaming black tea in front of him, he was a little embarrassed, and finally couldn't help muttering. However, no matter how small the sound is, it still seems very clear in such a quiet environment.

For the two Henry, this sentence is insignificant. However, in the eyes of his classmates, this tone was like a complaint, and it seemed a bit harsh. Not to mention Henry, just the huge figure beside him made them feel an invisible pressure throughout the whole process.

It was a giant, and his physique was not an ordinary horror, he had only seen it in his life. Annoyed her, I really don't know what the consequences will be. For a moment, they remembered countless terrifying rumors about giants and witchcraft, and they all sat upright, not daring to come out, only silently sipping the black tea in their hands.

However, at this moment, in the silence, there was a sudden sound of "pop". The young people trembled, and suddenly, there was a sound of tea cups and tea saucers colliding in all directions.

But the boy who spoke out earlier was not among them. A freshly uncorked bottle of sparkling fruit wine hovered in front of him, and the amber liquid poured out and fell into a small tall glass, reflecting a different kind of brilliance. Reaching out to hold it, a refreshing coldness made his eyes widen and he hurriedly drank it.

"Ahh

He involuntarily collapsed on the rocking chair, feeling the coldness tumbling in his stomach, and it was spreading to his body, and he relaxed wholeheartedly. Slightly spread out the palm, the wine glass slipped down, suddenly floated up in the air, and after a while, it was filled with fruit wine again. At this time, he didn't notice this scene, and his whole mind stopped at the moment when the wine slid through his mouth.

Smash it twice, and suddenly, he sat up abruptly and quickly covered his mouth.

"Whew!"

Stopping the urge to burp, the fruity smell of wine slowly exhaled from his chest, and he peeked at the two Henry not far away, and saw that they were looking at him with a funny face, so he grinned embarrassedly. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and then saw that his classmates were looking at him blankly.

"Well, it's fruit wine, grapes, bayberry, and a bit like kiwi, it's incomparable, you should try it too. ”

"Okay. ”

The guy who had spoken to Henry earlier immediately responded after coming back to his senses. Beside him, the girl who looked nervous in the face of Henry hurriedly grabbed him.

"It's fine. Showing a reassuring smile to her beside him, the young man continued, "If there is champagne, it will be even better." ”

He wanted to see if he could really say whatever he wanted like that fat classmate.

"Wow!"

The words fell, and the sound of water rang out.

This time, they all noticed.

It was a fountain, and in the pool below the fountain, a bottle of pink sparkling champagne jumped out of the water and was caught by a guy who stretched out his hand.

"Poof!"

As he took the two glasses floating beside him into his hands, the cork jumped out of the bottle. By the way, he took the initiative to fill two wine glasses, and handed one of them to the girl next to him.

The eyes of the others lit up, and with the first one, no, the first two people who ate crabs, they were no longer timid, and they all said the names of all kinds of drinks and drinks with great anticipation. For a while, there was a "pop" sound in all directions. The atmosphere began to be relaxed, and the laughter gradually rose.

Tapping the wine glass with the girl next to him, the young man who drank it all filled his wine again and quietly greeted Henry not far away. Raising the teacup in his hand, Henry's eyes responded.

"This kid is really good at pleasing girls. Olim said.

Hearing this, when he saw the girl next to the young man, her eyes were placed on him stupidly, and Henry nodded approvingly.

"yes. ”

"The same goes for you. Olim said with a smile.

Henry shook his head with a smile: "Haha, don't make fun of me, I teased her before, and now this girl is afraid of me when she sees me." ”

"Hehe, is it a prophecy?"

"Well, though, to be exact, a trip to her future. ”

"Time travel? However, I heard that the time turners can only go backwards, and they are all destroyed. Oh, I forgot, you're supposed to go to the watchmaker. ”

"Looks like you've been looking for him too. ”

"Of course, who wouldn't want to change the past? However, I thought he had lost the craft. It turned out that over the years, he had regained it and improved it. ”

"Haha, then why didn't you think about it, maybe I improved it?"

"Really, have you changed the past or the future?"

Henry, who thought that Olim would be stunned, was surprised when he was asked: "Well, no, it's not that." ”

"It seems that you are happy with your life. Olim said with a smile.

"Yes. ”

"What about other people? Have you changed them, have you helped them?"

"Everyone has their own destiny, and this world has never needed any savior. Henry replied very dryly.

Olim leaned back and distanced himself from Henry: "Look, you are more like a god than a scholar now. ”

Henry looked interested and leaned forward, "What if, I mean, is there really a god sitting in front of you?"

Olim's eyes curled, and he said amusedly, "So, let me take the liberty of asking, honorable god, what kind of job do you do?"

"Create the world. Henry spread his hands.

"Oh, is this one?"

"So far, not a single one. Henry shrugged.

"Oh, hehehe. Olim covered his smile lightly, and after closing his voice, he asked with a smile, "Where is the creation god who can't create the world?"

Henry said helplessly, "Isn't this learning?"

"Ahem, Runiwen?" said Olim.

"Well, the magic scripts created by these ancient elves are likely to involve this ancient starry sky above us. ”

"That is, specifically, you are a scholar of ancient history and want to reconstruct the birth process of the world, if I am not mistaken. ”

"So to speak. ”

Olim couldn't help but tease again: "So, compared to the creation of the world, are you worthy of the present duty?"

"Of course, there are still some archaeological discoveries, for example, an ancient continent. Henry held out a finger.

"A piece of continent?" Olim sat up.

Henry quickly shook his finger: "Ah, I know you have a lot of questions, but I have already made a promise to Miss McGonagall, and you have to ask her about it." ”

"Thank you!" Olim laughed unexpectedly.

"Thanks for what?" Henry shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for bringing a little spice to my life. As he spoke, Olim stretched out his hand, and a glass bottle containing crimson liquor flew out from under the pool, and came to the two of them, "This is my gratitude." ”

"Hundreds of years, right?"

Henry stretched out his hand to hold it, looking at the ancient patterns on the glass bottle.

At the same time as the expansion of the place, the last building, the fountain with the name of Mr. and Mrs. Nicola Lemay, was stored in it after it was completed. Olim smiled inexplicably.

"Oh roar!" Henry's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shook his head and smiled, "Lovely lady, are you playing me a dumb riddle?"

Olim stretched out his hand: "I want to hear about it." ”

"Well, if you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't really notice that. Contemporaneous ...... The pattern on this bottle is not just decorative. Henry suddenly smiled dumbly, "Honorable lady, you must know about last night, and this is a means of making fun of me by teasing that little girl!"

"Since one of her future children will be my student, shouldn't I help her vent?" Olim spread his hands and lay down on the back of his chair, "I can't help it, I'm just so short-guarded." ”

Henry clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, "Oh, my fault, my fault. Later, when you are familiar with it, I will convey my apologies to her on my behalf. ”

"Not personally?"

"This kid is still afraid of me. Henry said helplessly.

Olim pursed the corners of his lips, "Well, please send greetings to Lady McGonagall for me, oh yes, and Hagrid, if you know him." ”

"A big clumsy guy?"

"Oh yes. Olim smiled.

"But kindness, and integrity, a great person. I really envy the friendship between you! Don't worry, I'll pass it on. ”

Hearing this, Olim nodded approvingly: "Thank you sincerely." So, it's time to get to the bottom of the puzzle, right?"

Glancing at the bottle in his hand, Henry looked up at Olim: "If I'm not mistaken, these patterns are made up of tiny runes. ”

"Yes. ”

"Poof!"

Henry uncorked the wine and faced the crowd: "Do you want to drink the best wine that has been aged for hundreds of years?"

"Yes!"

Before the others could react, the guy who had spoken to Henry responded first. As soon as he finished speaking, a rich aroma of wine surrounded everyone, and the crimson liquor overflowed the mouth of the glass bottle and flew into an empty glass beside him.

After drinking it, his face turned red, his figure suddenly rose an inch, and his facial features were also undergoing subtle changes. In the eyes of the young people who were staring at him closely, although the young man was still basically the same, he had vaguely become more and more attractive.

"Oh, Jose!" exclaimed the girl next to the guy.

"Yes, I can feel it. Touching the eight-pack abs that suddenly stood up on his stomach, Jose turned his head to look at Henry in the next second, "Let's have a drink for Alina too!"

At this time, the others couldn't sit still and hurriedly drank the wine in their glasses. Before they could speak, Henry laughed, and the glass bottle was like a fountain, gushing out a large amount of wine, divided into streams, and filled their wine glasses, but the glass bottle showed no sign of lowering.

Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, Henry turned to look at Olym: "I heard that this fountain has the function of repairing and beautifying, it seems that this bottle of wine was made from spring water in the first place?"

"I didn't do it when it was fermented, but later, I added a little bit of it. ”

"Just in moderation, for me, it's a lot, the spring water is a lot, and the wine is also a lot. ”

Olim laughed but didn't say a word.

"Continuing the mystery, at the same time, the fountain in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Nicolame was restored and beautified to symbolize the great achievement of the alchemist in developing the Philosopher's Stone...... So, this bottle with a cellar stock is the original construction model?"

Olim nodded with a smile.

"Are we in a bottle?"

"Worthy of a scholar. Olim applauded.

"Thank you for your generosity, delight lady. So, what should I pay?"

"The same is true of the results of Ru Niven's research. If I can, the best in the time class, I'd like to see if I can get back to the ancient art of making a time converter. Is that okay?"

"Okay? You're really on point. Not only do I have the original manufacturing drawings here, but also the additional research results that have been extended, so that you can travel through time as freely as I do. And that's all yours now. ”

"Oh no, no, no, I'm just an average person, I can't take it much. The original version is good, it's for my hard-working students. Oh, and by the way, we've got a special feature here, the Christmas dinner and the performance of the Forest Pretty Girl Choir. A time turner can also help them find time for rehearsals. ”

"Sounds great. ”

"Yes. So, as the principal, can I invite you to this year's winter event?"

"It's an honor!" Henry smiled.
