The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

"Let's go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink... Oh, wait, Neo, you're too young, then we..."

"Just go to the Leaky Cauldron, we just had lunch there."

Facing the burly giant in front of him, Neo saw other pictures in his memory. It was in 1942, when Tom opened Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, where he seemed to feel a truly meaningful concept: a misinterpretation of In Neo's opinion, Slytherin's assumptions about his will were all a rebellion against his inferiority complex caused by his past misfortune.

He wants to be superior to others, so he starts to spread fear in a small way, releasing a basilisk to kill Myrtle who is hiding in the bathroom and crying.

He obviously sobered up a bit afterwards, thinking that no one else would find out about this. When the school began to search, he reported the false accusation against his classmate, the unlucky Rubeus Hagrid, who asked him to keep eight eyes in his closet. Where's the spider?

He personally led the team into Hagrid's room and pointed his wand at Hagrid's face. At that time, the half-giant was only more than two meters tall. He sat on the ground crying and kept shouting: "Aragog, hurry up." run."

From his expression, we could only see sadness and regret, but no resentment towards the domineering Tom at the time. This rough guy really thought that he had made a mistake, and that Tom's behavior towards him at that time was in line with school regulations.

The guilty Tom only focused on attacking Aragog with magic spells. His desire to find a scapegoat was too strong.Parseltongue isn't easy to hide, and he's been exposed before.

"Tom made so many mistakes as a young man."

The three of them arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. As soon as they stepped into the room, all the drinkers inside looked over.Everyone here seems to know Hagrid. Whether they are wizards or witches, middle-aged or old, they all smile and wave to him.

Old Tom was dozing behind the bar with his eyes squinted. When he noticed that the light in the room suddenly dimmed, he said loudly without opening his eyelids: "Oh, Hagrid, you are here, are you still following the same rules?"

Hagrid also laughed in response. He was so excited because he heard the news about the dragon egg. He was so happy that he could not see the scars left by the past haze on him.

"Give Professor Quirrell a glass of butterbeer, please. By the way, Neo, do you want pumpkin juice or honey grape water?"

Neo didn't refuse, he asked for pumpkin juice.On the contrary, Quirrell was in a daze. Ever since he heard the news about the dragon egg, Hagrid's eyes had not left him for more than ten seconds. Now he even put a hand on his shoulder, as if he was afraid of him. He ran away, or maybe it was just to show enthusiasm.

Quirrell was like a thumbtack, pinned to a stool in front of the bar by Hagrid.

Before the beer was served, Hagrid leaned down from his seat, and a dark shadow fell over poor Quirrell. The half-giant choked and glanced around.

"Tell me about the dragon eggs..."

Quirrell is not actually a stammerer, but it is true that he is always nervous when facing some people he cannot deal with, and it is even more sad at this time.Neo shook his head when he saw this. This child needs to be tempered on his way to growth.

"Quirinas, why don't you tell us about your adventures in Albaria?"

"Oh yes, in Albaria...."

Quirrell was reminded and finally knew what the topic was.

"That was part of my travel plan, to visit Albaria. Just last month, I went to a village on the border of Albaria, and the villagers received me..."

It was a bit long-winded at first, because it needed to be told and recalled at the same time, and the story was a bit trivial and sounded like a lie. Fortunately, Hagrid didn't think so. He had always known how outstanding Quirinas was when he was a student.After the beer came, everyone had a drink, and then Quirrell felt a little dizzy. Neo felt that he could inspire the poor servant in this state, so he guided him to talk about how he fought with vampires. of.

"Yes, the village was being infested by vampires at that time. The villagers' animals were in trouble, and several people died. The local wizard did not come forward..."

"Why don't the wizards come forward?"

Hagrid was a little curious, but now Quirrell panicked. Neo took a sip of pumpkin juice and said casually: "Albaria is the base camp of the vampire family. As long as it doesn't fall on them, the wizards there don't care about vampires." matter."

"Yes, yes, no wonder the villagers immediately asked for my help when they heard that I was not a local." Quirrell also understood this, and then he recalled more details of his experience.

"The locals always asked me to drive them away, and never mentioned the option of killing them. It was not until I later discovered during the investigation that a witch was also involved with the vampires who attacked the villagers. I took advantage of the daytime when the vampires could not come out. I found the witch, she was a weird woman with a tumor on her face... I waved my wand faster than her and hit her with a disarming spell, but she had a broom with her... ... After hiding like this at night, vampires can fly. At that time, a large group of vampires surrounded me. Fortunately, I was well prepared. Guess what secret weapon I used to evacuate safely from the siege?"

garlic.

Neo rolled his eyes, but Hagrid was attracted by the story. He blinked: "What, is it the invisibility cloak?"

Quirrell picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "I brought a bag of garlic!"

The bar suddenly burst into cheerful applause, which is indeed worthy of praise. Wizards are accustomed to using wands and alchemy tools to solve troubles. Once someone finds another way, this is a great inspiration to them.

Quirrell was completely drunk. For the first time, he indulged in real praise from others. In the past, only test scores could get him these, but now, the great Querilas was applauded for his real adventure, hey!

But Hagrid was a little sad. He still wanted to hear the part about dragon eggs, but Quirrell could only talk nonsense and giggle, and drank the butterbeer that kept pouring out of the wine glass due to the refilling of the curse.

"Because they successfully caught the witch's crime, the Kokochi family, a local dragon-raising family in Albaria, came forward to negotiate with the vampires and drove those vampires who harassed the local residents back to the jungle. The Kokochi family commissioned Quirinas went deep into the jungle to monitor the other party's departure, and the reward for the commission was a dragon egg."

Neo whispered the second half of the story to Hagrid.

"He is really a brave man, just like a Gryffindor." Hagrid looked at Quirrell with great eyes.

"Yes, he has valuable qualities."

Neo patted Hagrid's arm.

"You too, Rubeus, I'm sorry, I said that for a friend of mine.
