Chapter 136 Returning to China
As Paris slowly recovered from the trauma of the Obscurus, Wright finally returned to England.
It was August, and the warm sunlight pierced through the window into this small bar on Charing Cross Road, bringing a rare soft charm to this dark and old entrance to Diagon Alley. Through the window, you can still see the crowded wizard shopping alley behind the bar, and you can clearly hear the shouts one after another.
The old bartender Tom, who had lost all his hair, took out a glass of wine from behind the bar and walked towards a corner of the bar. The bright yellow liquid settled in the cup, and there was a hint of honey's unique sweet taste around the cup.
Wright thanked Tom, then took the glass of mead he had just ordered and placed it on the table in front of him. The rose scepter was leaning against the table. Lu Wei, who was supposed to be sealed inside the staff, was lying at Wright's feet, raising his head from time to time to look at the strange wizards passing by.
When Lu Wei's eyes occasionally passed over the rose scepter, there was actually a trace of anthropomorphic reluctance.
Wright has been sitting on the first floor of the Leaky Cauldron for a while. Last night, after the Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic killed the Obscurus transformed by Villetta, he directly used Apparition to return to London. It's only midnight.
But fortunately, the Leaky Cauldron does not have late closing hours. In fact, the Leaky Cauldron was one of Wright's regular hangouts after leaving school, not only 24 hours a day but 24 hours a day, all year round.
When Wright knocked on the door of the Leaky Cauldron in the middle of the night, Boss Tom entertained him warmly. And Wright once again stayed in Room 9 of the Leaky Cauldron.
There was still some distance between the time he had made an appointment with Harry and the others, but Wright felt that instead of being alone in the room on the second floor, it would be better to sit downstairs. For this reason, Wright specially released Lu Wei from the rose scepter, just to help him relieve his depression last night.
Wright picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The full bubbles on the wall of the glass burst instantly as he moved. The honey and wine are mixed together, and it is extremely mellow and sweet in the mouth, and it still has the same familiar taste.
Before going to Hogwarts to go to school, Wright lived in the Leaky Cauldron for nearly a month. He didn't know the taste of the food provided in the bar, but he at least had an idea of the taste of most of the food on the menu. From the impression, I naturally know which things are delicious and which things are not delicious.
Suddenly, Lu Wei sniffed and got up from the ground, staring closely at the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron with his heavy brass eyes. Wright knew that this meant that Lu Wei smelled the scent of a familiar person, so he followed Lu Wei and looked towards the door of the bar.
After a while, two middle-aged men and women in standard Muggle attire appeared at the door with two little girls holding their arms together and talking quietly.
Wright blinked. Are those the Grangers?
But why did Chang Chu appear with this family?
…
As soon as Chang Chu walked into the door of the Leaky Cauldron, he immediately saw Wright sitting at the long table in the corner of the bar looking over. She exhaled softly, instantly let go of her little sister Hermione's arm, and trotted towards Wright.
As early as late June, Chang Chu made what he considered a very rebellious move, which was to run away from home!
After she received the song as a birthday gift from Wright, she wanted her parents to take her to France, but the two adults unanimously rejected Chang Chu's suggestion due to various reasons.
In a fit of anger, Chang Chu directly put on his small schoolbag, picked up his wand, ran away from home, and then moved in...
Hermione's house.
Hermione's father, Mr. Wende, and her mother, Ms. Jane, showed an unusual enthusiasm for Chang Chu's sudden arrival. It seems that they feel that their daughter may be too talented in some aspects and may not be able to make good friends even in the strange wizarding world.
Fortunately, Chang Chu's appearance dispelled the couple's worries that they had never asked, especially Mrs. Jian, who cared about Chang Chu to the point of asking for help. Even Hermione was sometimes jealous of her mother's preference for Chang Chu, and once doubted whether she was their biological daughter.
Chang Chu stayed at Hermione's house for more than two months, even longer than Harry stayed at the Weasley family's Burrow. It is precisely because of this that the close relationship between her and Hermione has shown an exponential growth trend.
After all, the two girls were in the same bed and slept together for two months! What stronger relationship could there be?
At the same time, Chang Chu's relationship with the two boys Harry and Ron has also become much closer. After all, she and Hermione have such a good relationship, they love each other!
The only thing that made Chang Chu feel uncomfortable was that since Wright sent the birthday gift song on June 18th, there had been no other news for almost the entire summer vacation. Chang Chu even suspected that Wright was lost in those passionate French girls, so much so that he completely forgot about himself!
Last week the school owl brought the shopping list for the new school year. Chang Chu ignored Hermione who was suddenly obsessed with the wizard named Gilderoy Lockhart on the list, and directly took her to invite several friends to go shopping in Diagon Alley this weekend.
Out of some girlish pride, Chang Chu did not write to Wright and inform him of his current situation. But the slow bad guy didn't seem to care about it at all, and just sent a letter back to Harry!
Chang Chu was originally planning to throw a girlish tantrum at him when they met today!
But when she saw Wright sitting in the corner of the bar, all the anxiety, irritability, and dissatisfaction that had accumulated in her heart during the summer vacation were swept away.
Chang Chu put his hands around Wright's neck, who was sitting on the chair. This was a posture that rarely appeared in the lives of the two of them. Because of the excessive height difference, Chang Chu is not allowed to do this often. It is too tiring to hold his neck up for a long time!
But now there is no such concern.
"Do you miss me?" Chang Chu asked softly, looking at the black eyes that she was obsessed with.
…
Wright stood up from the chair, held the rose scepter and walked towards the Granger family. Chang Chu, who blushed like a ripe tomato, buried his head deeply, and followed closely behind Wright with Lu Wei.
Due to his excessive emotional involvement just now, Chang Chu didn't realize that he had come with Hermione's family before. But when she was about to kiss Wright, he directly covered her face with his palm. Then she recalled Hermione, Mr. Wende, and Mrs. Jane standing at the door.
How could she not feel ashamed?
Chang Chu even felt that if a crack suddenly appeared on the floor, she would definitely get in without hesitation!
