Chapter 838 Super Seniority

In order not to arouse others' suspicion and out of curiosity, Kyle looked around in other places. When he returned to the Valley Bar, it was already evening and the place was full of people, even more lively than at noon.

Kyle also saw an acquaintance... no, to be precise, he should have heard it.

"Give up, Aberforth, I won't sell wine to a fourth-grade kid like you." The bar owner stood behind the bar and looked at the young boy in front of him jokingly.

The boy also looked at the boss with an angry face, "I'm already in fifth grade!"

There was a burst of laughter all around, and everyone was looking over there, as if they were watching an interesting show.

"Not even fifth grade." The boss raised his eyebrows, "Before you reach the age of seventeen, you are still a kid and you can't drink."

"Here, this is for you." He pushed a cup over, "Milk pumpkin juice, this is what you should drink."

There was another round of laughter all around, and the bearded wizard next to him slapped a Sico on the table and shouted: "Will, don't cheat the kid out of his pocket money. I bought him a glass of milk."

"You...I want whiskey!" Aberforth turned red with anger and grabbed a handful of Sickles. "I can pay double the price."

"It's useless even if you pay ten times." The boss shook his head again, "You are not old enough to drink, so you can only drink milk and pumpkin juice."

"You still care about this?" Aberforth frowned and looked around, "Don't think I don't know, half of the wine here is illegally smuggled from Romania."

Hearing what he said, the boss was not annoyed. Instead, he said with a smile: "Correction, it's not half, but two-thirds. In addition, only things that are included in the prohibited trade list are called smuggling, but wine Not among them."

The surrounding guests who were drinking all laughed loudly and didn't think there was anything strange. Obviously, they all knew about this.

Listening to the laughter of everyone, Aberforth became even more angry and shouted: "I will also open a bar in the future, and then I can drink as much as I want!"

"Then can we go drink for free?" someone asked, but his tone was more teasing, as if he thought it was fun for him to open a bar.

"You must pay double!" said Aberforth angrily.

"Then I must try it."

"Take me one, I like drinking wine at double the price."

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Aberforth passed by Kyle, slammed the door and left the bar.

As Aberforth left, the next second, as if it had been agreed upon, the atmosphere in the bar suddenly cooled down and even became a little gloomy.

This made Kyle feel a little strange. He found a man who was drinking at the bar and asked what was going on.

But what he responded to was an impatient scolding.

"It's none of your business, outsider." The other party glanced at Kyle sideways and warned: "Stop your curiosity, if you still want to walk out of Godric's Hollow honorably."

"Don't say that, Cord." The bar owner came over, "He is Bathilda's friend, not an outsider."

"Bathilda's friend?"

"Yes, I confirmed it. A Hogwarts student who likes magical history."

The man grunted twice, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and went to another table.

"Don't mind." The boss looked at Kyle, "Potter... is the person just now. He has a good relationship with Candela. At this time, his temper will inevitably get a little fierce, but he is still a good person."

"Candra?" Kyle repeated the name quietly.

"Just a man who lives in Godric's Hollow and has nothing to do with history. You won't be interested." The boss said, "Would you like a glass of brandy? I'll buy it."

"Oh, no problem," Kyle said.

He could tell that Lao didn't want to talk to him about Candela, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But Kyle can also understand. After all, he has just arrived here not long ago. Even with Bathilda's help, he will not be able to integrate in so quickly.

Take your time and take your time.

…

For a period of time after that, Kyle didn't go anywhere. Except for being in his room, he would just walk around the neighborhood pretending to be around, and then come back in the evening to drink and chat with everyone. Occasionally, he was happy while chatting. I will pay for it and treat everyone to a drink.

It doesn't cost much. In a bar like this, the number of people is basically fixed. Two galleons at most are enough.

And it didn't cost him any money...it was sponsored by Hollicken.

After inviting everyone to drink several times, his popularity here began to rise sharply, and he could chat with everyone.

During this period, Aberforth came several times and wanted to buy wine, but he was ruthlessly rejected by the boss every time.

After Aberforth was kicked away for the fifth time, Kyle put down his cup, turned around and asked, "How many times has he been rejected, why is he here again?"

"What else could it be because of another quarrel with Albus?" the wizard sitting next to Kyle said after taking a sip of brandy.

Coldport, who was also the one who initially said Kyle was an outsider, has gradually lowered his guard after feeling Kyle's sincerity in recent times.

No way, the free wine tastes too good.

"Looking at their names, they seem to be brothers." Kyle asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Brothers, we used to have a very good relationship." Cord said, and he burped.

"You just said that we used to have a very good relationship. What does that mean?" Kyle took the opportunity to ask,

"That is... before Albus graduated..." Cord said groggily, "You are not an outsider anymore, it's okay to tell you some things... in case you say something wrong one day..."

He picked up the glass again, but it was empty.

"Another glass of brandy." Kyle waved to the boss, "The best one, I'll pay."

"Hehe, you are a good friend." Cord put his arm around Kyle's shoulders and thought about it with his half-drunk and half-awake brain.

"You probably don't know yet... since Kendra Dumbledore passed away... their relationship has been getting worse and worse...

"My family lives next door to them, and I often hear quarrels and smashing things in the middle of the night."

After spending some time together, Kyle already knew that Kendra Dumbledore was Aberforth's mother.

"How did she die? "Kyle asked.

"I don't know..." Corder shook his head, "No one knows, we just heard a loud noise coming from Dumbledore's house..."

"Did the Dumbledore brothers know about this?"

"I didn't know at the time." Corder shook his head, "At that time, Albus was about to take the N.E.W.T. exam. It was not until after the exam... that their uncle Fortlin told them about it.

"The two brothers hurried back to attend the funeral..."

At this point, Corder suddenly choked up and could only take another sip of wine to suppress this emotion.

"I don't know what happened... but since then, the two brothers have often quarreled... Every time Aberforth comes here, he wants to numb himself with wine."

"So you guys just made a fuss and didn't buy it for him?" Kyle asked.

"I guess so." Corder said, "We don't want to see him become an alcoholic at such a young age...

"But you must be careful, if you meet the Dumbledore brothers, don't mention Kendra, and don't ask about their parents. "

"I know. "Kyle nodded and ordered another whole bottle of brandy for Code. He seemed to only like this, not the whiskey that more people liked.

After learning these secrets, Kyle did not go to Dumbledore's house to inquire out of curiosity, but continued with his previous work.

Only when he went out during the day, he would find a hidden place and observe the situation there from a distance.

He had also seen the young Dumbledore, but unlike when he saw him at school, the current Dumbledore no longer had that kind of confident vitality. He was depressed every day and looked lost.

It is worth mentioning that not long after, Kyle saw the scene he was most looking forward to... The young Dumbledore finally met Grindelwald.

It was a very ordinary noon, and Grindelwald was asking about something as usual... He had recently It has always been like this, asking around about other people's families.

Many people in the bar said that Bathilda's nephew must have the same hobbies as her, otherwise who would be curious about other people's family history when they have nothing to do.

Most of them are willing to cooperate for Bathilda's sake. Anyway, they are free and just treat it as a kid's play.

Of course, there are also those who don't buy it, such as Code, who doesn't like Grindelwald very much.

As for the reason, it is probably because he is a student of Durmstrang. Code has no good impression of this school that teaches dark magic, and he doesn't like Grindelwald, so naturally he won't have a good face for him.

That day, Grindelwald was wandering in the valley as usual, and Dumbledore happened to go out to relax. As fate would have it, the two came to the abandoned in front of the barn.

Kyle was in a forest not far away at the time and saw it clearly.

He was a little excited. He had waited for so many days, wasn't it just for this? In a sense, he was witnessing history.

Just as he thought, Dumbledore and Grindelwald hit it off at first sight. In just half a day, their relationship went from strangers to close.

And since then, they were often seen walking side by side in the valley, and Dumbledore smiled more and more, and soon returned to his original appearance.

These two equally confident and high-spirited teenagers naturally became the focus of discussion among the residents of Godric's Hollow.

Many people were sincerely happy about Albus's change. They all knew that this child was an absolute genius when he was at Hogwarts, and they couldn't bear to see him... He had been depressed.

Otherwise, a genius like Albus would sooner or later become obscure, which would be a pity.

They had tried to comfort Albus, but it was of little use. The child always acted as if he didn't care in front of others, but they could see that he was pretending and he was still worried.

It was only with the appearance of Grindelwald that things changed.

They felt that it was Grindelwald who pulled Albus out of the quagmire, and everyone was happy.

The only one who was unhappy was probably Aberforth. He seemed very angry about his brother's change of attitude, and the two quarreled more and more often.

He usually came to the pub every two or three days, but recently he became a regular here. If the boss refused to sell him wine, he would refuse to leave and threatened to go to the Leaky Cauldron to buy it.

But the boss didn't care at all.

The reason is also very simple. There is only one fireplace nearby that can use the Floo Network, and it is in his bar. As long as he disagrees with Aberforth's use, the other party can only walk to Diagon Alley step by step.

Sometimes when he couldn't stand it anymore, he would mix mead with a large glass of pumpkin juice and send Aberforth to get out of here.

"This kid is really ignorant, far worse than that Grindelwald."

Gradually, this sentence became the consensus of all the guests in the bar.

In their opinion, Aberforth should be happy for his brother's change instead of fighting against him every day.

Under his background, Grindelwald became even more valuable, and even Cord's attitude towards him changed.

"Maybe I misunderstood." He said to Kyle while drinking once: "Although Durmstrang is a bad school, Gellert was expelled, which shows that he himself is not Oops, right? Otherwise, I wouldn’t be fired.”

"Maybe he did something that even Durmstrang couldn't tolerate." Kyle cursed in his heart, but on the surface he didn't say anything. He just looked at Cord and said with interest,

"So you are ready to agree to let him visit your home?"

"Let's wait a little longer." Cord said with a smile, "We'll wait until after my child is born, which will probably only be a few months."

"Oh, why have you never mentioned this?" Kyle looked at him in surprise.

"Didn't I mention it?" Cord blinked, "Well, it's not too late to know now."

"Then I have to prepare a good gift." Kyle thought for a while, "How about a whole box of aged oak barrel brandy."

"If it was given to me, I would be so happy that I would jump up and down." Cord smacked his lips, "But usually, we don't give wine to a new wizard."

"Haha, just kidding." Kyle said with a smile, "I will prepare carefully."

"Then I'll wait." Cord also smiled. "By the way, I have an idea."

"What?"

"Do you want to be my child's godfather?"

puff……

Kyle almost spit out his drink.

"Are you serious?" Kyle looked at him in disbelief, "We have only known each other for a long time, is this appropriate?"

"There is nothing inappropriate." Cord said seriously: "In fact, I think you are a good person, and your future achievements will be limitless. I am very willing to let you be the godfather of my child."

"Really?" Kyle raised his eyebrows, "But yesterday you persuaded me to change my career, saying that studying the history of magic had no future."

"That's just a drunken joke, don't worry about it." Cord waved his hand, "And you may not always study those things."

"Let's talk about this..." Kyle looked at him and changed the subject: "By the way, have you decided on the child's name? Do you need my help?"

"No, I got up early." Cord said, "Call Henry, what do you think?"

"Very good." Kyle said. He had a strange feeling in his heart. He always felt like he had heard this name somewhere before, until he accidentally glanced at Cord's hair.

The messy black hair looks like a bird's nest. It should be taken care of with a smooth hair spray.

"Wait a minute..." Kyle suddenly thought of something and asked, "Corder, what's your last name?"

"You still don't know my last name?" Cord said in surprise, seeming a little angry.

"sorry, I……"

"Listen, my name is Cod Porter, and to be honest, I think I should seriously consider letting you be my child's godfather."

Kyle didn't hear a word of what he said next. If Cord's surname was Potter, wouldn't his child's name be...

Henry Porter.

Kyle finally knew where he had heard this name, in a store in Diagon Alley.

In order to give Snape a gift, he had bought a large amount of Smooth Hair Detergent there, and the name was printed on an old poster in the store.

Henry Porter, Frémont Porter...the inventor of Porter's instant smoothing hair spray.

This is not the point. The point is that they are a father and son. Fleamont is Henry's son. He himself later had a son named James, and this James married a Muggle-born girl, Lily Ivan. Sri Lanka.

In other words, this unborn Henry is Harry Potter's grandfather.

Tsk…

Kyle smacked his lips.

It's hard to imagine that if he really became Henry's godfather, what should Harry call himself when he returns?

Oh, and Sirius, as Harry's godfather, he can't run away either.
