Leaving Hogwarts Primary School.
Alan stroked his smooth chin. He had considered Mrs. Arabella Figg of the Phoenix Society, who was also a squib, as one of his original candidates. But since Zian had provided his two dud sisters in Lockhart, Mrs. Feig could be temporarily excluded from the first batch of candidates for the experiment.
Allen felt that Mrs. Feig was not young compared to Lockhart's sisters, so he decided to choose a younger one to provide Luna with more faith. Besides, compared to Dumbledore who was close to Gryffindor, Lockhart was at least a Ravenclaw.
"Allen, I noticed that you don't seem to be used to the sandalwood. Let's go to a pub and drink something warm. " Penello wanted to be alone with Allen for a while. She also had something to say and did not want to let him accompany the pregnant crazy girl.
Allen saw through her thoughts, but he was happy to accept it. After all, it was too early to go back and if his mother saw him, she would inevitably scold him for not going to school and slacking off.
Because of the cold weather, the fireplace in the Three Brooms Shop in Hogsmeade Village was crackling, making it look warm and smoky. Compared to the new shops in the commercial district, the wizards who came to the floating city for shopping and tourism were more willing to sit in this famous bar that was popular among the students.
When the graceful and beautiful Mrs. Rosmerta saw Allen, she immediately put down the things in her hands and came to greet them.
"You haven't been here for a while, Principal Harris." Mrs. Rosmerta saw Penello with her arms crossed and gave up the idea of hugging Allen. "Miss Krievat is also more beautiful. I still remember when you brought Allen to me before you graduated. You were so cute back then. Now you can drink real wine in the blink of an eye. What would you like to drink today?"
"But no real wine today. Just two cups of butter beer with a little ginger juice." Allen wanted to order something else, but when he saw a tourist saluting him in the distance, he noticed that the tourist was drinking a large cup of foaming hot butter beer. He was a little jealous.
Penello was not particular about what to drink. She pulled Allen to a seat by the window, where the sun could shine in and bring some brightness and warmth.
Mrs. Rosmerta was a little happy that Allen could be a regular in her pub. She answered the other party's order and wriggled to the bar. Thinking of the ginger juice that Allen ordered, she narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding her disdain for the jerk in her heart.
Penello used her fingers to cast a spell beside her seat so that the sound inside could not be transmitted out. Allen looked at her, puzzled.
"Allen, I heard Emily mention something about Pency Parkinson yesterday. I guess you want to make a move on the young Mystery Man?" Penello asked cautiously.
Allen was stunned. He looked at the female Aura's memories and instantly understood that Emily revealed such things to Penello on purpose. His sister's purpose was to prevent him from taking any more risks.
"Don't worry, Emily is overthinking. The powerful version is no match for me. As long as Pency locates the location of the young version, I'll be able to deal with it in a few minutes." Allen waved his hand to stop Penello. "It's not risky for me to go. Although theoretically you should be able to defeat the young version of the Mystery Man, I won't let you take the risk."
Seeing Allen's rejection, Penello reached out and held Allen's hand. "But Allen, isn't this a good opportunity to train? I'll bring an umbrella with me. They won't go alone like you. Maybe Tom's Killing Curse won't work on me. This is a chance for me to practice... Also, let me help you a little. I feel like I can't help you much these days... I even helped you a while ago... Maybe Miss Know-It-All feels the same way... "
Faced with Penello's words, Allen was a little embarrassed. Although Penello and the others had begun to read the Nether Scrolls with Luna's help, his own research in the Division of Mysteries and Luna's progress in Divine Power had indeed widened the gap between them and the others.
"Headmaster, I made some sausage rolls and fried eggs. It's too cold to eat fried pork skin, so I didn't serve it to you." Miss Rosmerta, who came to deliver the food, eased the atmosphere.
The crispness of the freshly baked snacks greatly increased one's appetite. Allen forked a piece of boiled egg and wrapped it with seasoned ham, coriander, scallion and spices before throwing it into the oil pan to fry. Today's heat was exceptionally good. The flowing egg yolk was proof.
But then a breeze brushed Allen's hair, and the door of Three Brooms opened again.
Miss Rosmerta excused herself and turned around with a smile on her face. Inadvertently, she stretched out her hand to loosen her collar because the bar was too warm, revealing her white slender neck and some cleavage. In fact, the temperature in the shop should be a little cold because the door was open.
Sirius had just walked into Three Brooms in a burst of snowflakes. He was wearing the thick cloak of the Ministry of Magic's uniform. He was carrying a few paper bags bought from different shops, and there was some heat and fragrance coming out of them.
The lady boss used a more charming voice than when she talked to Allen. "Sirius, you're free to come to my place today?"
Sirius threw the bag full of food on the table. Miss Ben was helping him take off his coat and patting the snow on it.
"Recently, the foreign wizards in the floating city brought a lot of delicious food. I'm tired of shopping and came to find a place to sit down and have a drink." Sirius obviously did not notice Allen and the others because they were sitting by the window.
"If you're alone today, do you want me to accompany you for a few drinks?" At this time, the lady boss did not think much about Sirius's takeout food.
After hearing this, Sirius estimated that it would be better than drinking alone. He asked happily, "Sounds good. I heard from my colleagues that you have a good tolerance for alcohol?"
Miss Rosmerta smiled shyly and said shyly, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I'm so drunk that I don't know anything after one drink …"
Allen and Penello looked at each other silently and smiled. They knew that the lady boss actually had a good tolerance for alcohol. She never got drunk when drinking with Foggy and the others, and although Miss Rosmerta was good at taking advantage of her good looks, it was obvious that her attitude towards Sirius was not fake.
"You dare to open a pub with such a poor tolerance for alcohol?" Sirius looked surprised. Then, as if he felt that his words were a little hurtful, he said casually, "Sorry, I don't feel good drinking with people who can't hold their liquor well … Just give me a glass of beer. I'll find a seat …"
This remark was obviously beyond everyone's expectation, including Miss Rosmerta. She was stunned and did not know how to respond. She just moved her mouth but did not make any sound.
Sirius did not realize that this was the result of his remarks, but as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he was keenly aware that something was wrong with the lady boss. Looking at her lips and neckline, he suddenly realized. "Sorry, I'll close the door … It's so cold, don't you know to wear more clothes …"
Sirius threw his coat, which had just finished patting the snow, to Miss Rosmerta. He thought that the lady boss was wearing too little, but he kept her warm in a way that he thought was very gentlemanly.
Allen and Penello saw this interaction and looked at each other in surprise. There was a reason why Sirius did not pay attention to love for so long after he regained his reputation.
Miss Rosmerta was undoubtedly very charming and a middle-aged witch who was popular with all ages, but this lazy and passionate look now seemed to have been poured on ice and snow.
Penello did not like the lady boss who liked to use this trick on Allen, but now he could not help but feel that Miss Rosmerta's charm was used on a dog … The female Aura's eyes narrowed a little. Sirius's Animagus was indeed a big black dog.
