Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

Chapter 169 The Reunion After 65 Years

"Heh, it's not a day or two since he's inaccurate in judging people!"

Aberforth sneered, and the wind outside was getting louder, so he threw a few more pieces of wood into the fireplace.

Jiang Li thought for a while, and he was right, the first grader Quilo, the second grader Lockhart, these are the cattle and horses that Albus found.

"Perhaps, uncle has his intentions? Maybe he has some plan of his own?" Credence defended the unreliable uncle in his father's mouth.

"A plan? He asked a former Death Eater to serve as a professor. I don't think he has any plans, but he has dementia!" Aberforth's voice raised a few degrees, and it was extraordinarily sharp and cheerful in a quiet bar. unexpected.

He was still so jealous, and seemed to hate Snape very much.

Credence did not take part in the fight against Voldemort. He went out to find Nagini. He had only heard about Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

"Speaking of Albus, I suddenly remembered that this old bee asked me to buy him some candy back home. Does Credence want to go out together?" Germaud's reason.

"I won't go, Dad's place is too bad, I have to clean it up for him." Credence looked around the environment in the bar, and then turned to Aberforth and asked, "Dad, do you want to go?" Shall we open a bakery?"

"Fuck off, I don't know how to bake bread! Don't gossip about my place to reminisce about the past!" Aberforth blew his beard and stared at his eyes angrily.

"Okay." Credence could only give up his thoughts, and patted Jiang Li on the shoulder, "Go shopping, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

"By the way, bring some lamb chops home to eat." Before Jiang Li left, Aberforth packed several pieces of delicious grilled lamb chops in a paper bag and handed them to her.

When Jiang Li was holding the paper bag and was going to lead Xiao Hei out, he found that its belly was swollen and he could hardly walk. Credence had been secretly feeding it just now!

Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the Pig's Head Bar, the wind and snow were howling outside, but there were still many students running around cheerfully on the street, not caring about the cold weather at all.

Jiang Li found that there seemed to be some commotion in the teahouse opposite the bar, curiosity drove her to hold Xiao Hei, and pushed open the glass door of Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse.

"My Galleon is clearly in the wallet, why is it gone?"

When the door opened, Draco's irritated voice was heard.

A pair of small black claws appeared in front of Jiang Li, and inside the claws were several shining golden Galleons, and they were held in front of Jiang Li by the pair of small black claws as if courting them.

"Xixiu!" Jiang Li exclaimed in surprise when he saw the little thing in front of him clearly.

"That's your money, Draco!" Crabbe pointed at the Nixiu in front of Jiang Li from a long distance away.

Draco looked at the girl and the mouse-like creature suspiciously. He would never think that Jiang Li ordered this thing to steal his Galleon. If she wanted it, just tell him.

"Alfie, how many times have I told you, control your desire for shiny treasures." The old man who was drinking milk at the back just put down his glass, passed Draco and the others, walked up to Jiang Li and grabbed him. The nape of the sniffing neck.

"Even if it's to please Li!" He winked at Jiang Li while holding Nixiu.

Hearing this voice, her heart trembled. Looking at the old man in front of her, Jiang Li almost burst into tears. It was Newt! Newt 65 years later!

She looked at the gray-haired but still energetic old man in front of her, as if she had traveled through time and saw the 29-year-old man who always had a shy and gentle smile.

"Hey, Newt!" Jiang Li sniffled, staring at him with red eyes, afraid that he would disappear again by accident, just like a dream.

"Aren't you going to give me a hug?" Newt opened his arms to her.

Jiang Li pouted, and immediately rushed into his arms, hugged him, tears wet Newt's coat silently.

Newt held her for a while, feeling her crying in his arms, let go of her, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.

"I'll catch up on the old days later. I have to settle the matter with this little troublemaker." Newt shook the Nixiu in his hand, snatched the Golden Galleon from its little paw, and threw it to the River Li.

He walked up to Draco and spread his hands: "Son, this is yours. I'm sorry, my Alfie always does this kind of prank. Nixiu especially likes to collect shiny things."

Draco took the Gold Gallon from Newt's hand with a complex expression, and his gaze fell on Jiang Li behind Newt. The girl's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and she held the thief with one hand. The mouse of the gold coin, with the other hand tightly clutching the hem of Newt's windbreaker, seemed extremely dependent on the old man in front of him.

"Draco, it seems wrong, you lost more than that." Blaise reminded Draco aloud.

When Draco was reminded by him, his hands that were about to put the money in his wallet paused. He had been looking at Jiang Li just now, so he didn't even count them.

"It doesn't matter, Alfie must have been hiding it." Newt turned around and pulled out the Nixiu from Jiang Li's arms, then lifted its two little feet upside down, shook it vigorously a few times, and a large pile of gold coins and jewels came out It fell onto Draco's table.

"Children, let's see which ones are yours." Under the surprised eyes of the children, Newt calmly pointed to the mountain of treasures on the table.

Draco quickly found a few of his Galleons. He looked suspiciously at the old man in front of him, wildly guessing his relationship with Jiang Li in his mind.

Seeing that Draco had found his belongings, Newt let go of Alfie. While Draco and the others were stunned, the snuffer quickly stuffed the treasure on the table back into his pocket, and then jumped into Jiang Li's arms. inside.

"It seems to like me very much, Newt." Jiang Li looked at Xixiu in his arms and smiled happily.

"Of course, it is Teddy's child, and he is more restless than his old father."

Teddy was Newt's previous Niffler who caused a riot in New York, and it almost made Jacob the hero of the bank heist.

"You have a dog?" Newt looked at Xiao Hei at Jiang Li's feet, and suddenly frowned. He glanced at the Daily Prophet in his hand.

"Yes, it's called Xiao Hei, I picked it up at the station." Jiang Li smiled and introduced her repair dog to Newt.

"Come out with me, I have something to tell you." Newt put his arms around Jiang Li's shoulders, planning to lead her out of the teahouse.

"Wait a minute, Li, and this gentleman!" Draco still couldn't help calling them, even though he didn't know what to say.

"Your classmate?" Newt turned his head to look at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded, she didn't understand why Draco stopped her suddenly.

"Sorry, kid, we still have some things to deal with, and Li has to follow me to do things now." Newt smiled at Draco gently, and then left with Jiang Li.

"Draco, did you hear that just now? Hufflepuff calls the old man Newt." Daphne's lips trembled as she tugged on Draco's sleeve.

Draco watched them leave through the glass window.

"Newt Scamander?"
