Chapter Nine The Leaky Cauldron, Cedric Diggory
Broken cauldron bar.
When Wesen Wright and Barty Crouch opened the wooden door and entered the bar, the first floor of this small bar was quite lively.
A group of wizards held up their wine glasses and chatted enthusiastically.
One of the middle-aged men who looked quite talkative, had a pair of glasses on his nose, but he looked like a very sophisticated old scholar.
“This trip is very pleasant…”
Now this middle-aged man with an old pedantic image is very happy to show off his trip to his wizard friends in the entire bar: "I saw many magical creatures in the rain forest. After Mr. Newt Scarmand learned that I had gone to the rain forest in South America, he also wrote a letter to invite me to visit his home..."
Obviously.
It can be heard from this man that letting Newt Scarmand, the magical animal expert, invite him to visit, is a very worthy capital.
This can indeed be boastful.
Because Newt Scarmand has a very high honor in the magic world, the old man has written many books about magical creatures and has always been used as a teaching material for Hogwarts.
"Celebrating Amos Diggory's trip!"
"Celebrate Amos' invitation to receive from Mr. Scarmand!"
The people in the entire scattered bar happily raised their wine glasses to celebrate the man who could receive the invitation of Mr. Scarmand. One of the tall figures seemed the warmest.
That was a mixed-race giant.
Ruber Hager, Hogwarts Forbidden Forest and Hunting Ground Guard, was an ostensibly a staff member who stayed in school, but was essentially someone Dumbledore trusted very much.
This mixed-race giant loves all kinds of magical creatures very much, so he also showed a very enthusiastic attitude towards the travel deeds of the talkative man...
certainly.
Ruber Hager is not the focus of Wiesen.
Compared to Ruber Hager, there is a black-haired boy in this bar that has attracted the attention of Weisen Wright, standing behind the talkative man with a slender figure.
This black-haired boy is very handsome.
To put it a little bit unreasonable, Wiesen Wright felt that this young man was probably a little worse than himself.
As if he noticed Weisen's gaze, the black-haired boy looked at Weisen who appeared here, and smiled and greeted Weisen Leit's head.
This is a polite person.
Whether it is his actions or his expression, they all appear natural and elegant, and they seem to make people feel good about him and they can't help but want to praise him.
Just at this moment, the middle-aged man with great enthusiasm hugged the black-haired boy's shoulder and smiled and said loudly: "It's a pity that I can't go to Mr. Scarmand's house for the time being, because my son Cedric is about to go to Hogwarts to study. Today I want to accompany him to buy what the Hogwarts freshman needs to prepare..."
When talking about his son, the middle-aged man felt a little regretful: "Cedric is twelve years old this year, and his birthday is in winter, so he has to be a year late..."
Just when other drinkers wanted to comfort him, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "But Cedric has read the textbook I left for him. I believe that with his talent, he will definitely become an excellent Hufflepuff student!"
“…”
Cedric's face was a little red and shy.
Perhaps it was because of his father's boast that made him feel a little ashamed, or perhaps it was because the people in the bar were watching him.
If it were an ordinary little boy, he might have been hiding behind his father for a long time, and he would be embarrassed to face the burning gazes of these adults.
Cedric performed very differently.
After being shy for a moment, the black-haired boy humbly lowered his head and performed a wizard-appointed manner to the many drinkers in front of him: "I'm very sorry, we disturbed everyone's leisure in the afternoon."
“Celebrate Mr. Cedric Diggory!”
"Celebrating Amos Digory for him to have a good son!"
"Celebrating Hogwarts will give birth to an excellent student!"
"Celebrating Hufflepuff... Hufflepuff will definitely be defeated by Gryffindor again in this year's Quidditch Cup!"
“…”
There was another cheer in the entire bar.
There are many wine lovers who like to secretly carry private goods. Obviously, these wine lovers should be wizards who graduated from Gryffindor Academy.
Just as the people in the bar were drinking, Cedric Diggory and his father Amos Diggory finally walked out of the crowd and they wanted to say hello to others.
Because Amos Digory also saw Batty Crouch, the two of them could barely be called colleagues from the Ministry of Magic.
Batty Crouch, the old man, was once quite famous and was now in a semi-retreated state and could also be the director of the International Magic Cooperation Division of the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom;
Amos Diggory is just working as a staff member in the super unpopular department of the Fantastic Biology Management Department. Perhaps those who came from Hufflepuff Academy seem to be really not good at politics...
"Long time no see, Mr. Crouch."
Amos Diggory came over and reached out to Old Batty Crouch and held his palm hard: "Your spirit looks good..."
"So too, Amos."
Old Batty Crouch slowly shook his palm, his eyes fell on Cedric Diggory next to him, and praised him with a serious face: "Amos, you have a very good son."
“Hahahahahaha…”
Amos Diggory could no longer hide his pride in his face, and patted his son on the shoulder and urged: "This is also the most proud thing in my life!"
After saying that, Amos Digory noticed the gray-haired boy beside Old Batty Crouch and asked softly: "This one is..."
"This is…"
Old Barty Crouch looked at Weisen Wright standing beside him. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little confused about how to introduce Weisen's identity to others.
If the status of the introduction is too low...
What if Vison Wright makes people unable to get out of Taiwan on the spot?
Wiesen Wright seemed to notice the hesitation of Barty Crouch, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Amos Diggory: "I am Wiesen, Wiesen Wright, and I am also a freshman who has been studying in Hogwarts this year."
After saying that, Weisen Wright glanced at Cedric Digory and added: "If nothing unexpected happens, he should also enter Hufflepuff Academy."
"oh?"
Amos Digory's eyes lit up instantly.
A hint of joy flashed in Cedric Diggory's eyes. He had a good impression of his peers he met by chance, perhaps because of his kind nature.
This kindness.
It must be true kindness.
Cedric even took the initiative to reach out to Weisen and said seriously: "Reintroduce yourself, Cedric, Cedric Diggory."
"I just heard it."
Weisen friendlyly held Cedric's hand and spoke with sincerity on his face: "I think it's a pleasure to meet a classmate at this time."
"I think so too..."
