Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

Chapter 5: Fortunately I'm Still Single

As we all know, women have a very high level of empathy.

When they learned about little Alvie's "tragic" life experience, they involuntarily placed themselves on the same level as Ralph's mother or other relatives.

In addition, Ralph is also very cute. He always has a mature face at a young age, which makes all the witches crazy.

But when you think about it, you will feel pity. If you hadn't experienced so much, how could you have such an expression at such an age?

At the same time, true to his nature of gossip, Ralph's story began to become "certainly clear":

An abandoned mother wandered around the wizarding world alone with her three children. She taught her children carefully, crushed every life experience she had and turned it into particles and gave it to her children. She also actively endured the pain of separation between mother and child, and executed

Following that damn man's family tradition, a child under 11 years old was left to survive alone.

Ah! What a sad and noble story.

Without Ralph's knowledge, his "legendary life" has been spread among every British wizarding family.

As the war intensified, Ralph's story was like a lubricant, quietly integrating into the British wizarding world, which alleviated the anxiety caused by the war to a certain extent.

After all, compared with the harmony and stability of the family, the anxiety caused by the intensity of the current war seems less intense.

Similarly, for the village of Hogsmeade, the addition of a child injected vitality into the village, greatly inspired the residents here, and rekindled everyone's hope for a better life.

Tonight, the bright moon is shining high, and the stars are blinking in the sky, trying hard to see the cheerful scene under the white snow.

Ralph's college entrance party is going on lively at the Three Broomsticks Bar.

At this time, many residents of Hogsmeade have left the UK to escape the war. This is why Ralph was able to quickly acquire a house at that time.

Some of those who stay are because the basis of their survival is here, some are because this is their roots, and some are sent by companies to station in local stores.

Under the warm light, a few people chatted happily, drinking and drinking, light and shadow intertwined, and the alternation of old and new took place here.

The helpless and shy smile on Ralph's face made everyone burst into laughter.

In their eyes, some are looking forward to the future, some are recalling the past, and some are enjoying the present.

In the end, Ralph was regarded as a burden by the witches and was kicked out of the kitchen. After saying hello to the wizards who were laughing at him, he took the gift and walked home hummingly through the snow.

road.

Hogsmeade is beautiful tonight. The soft and warm yellow light shines on the snow through the windows. The white evergreen trees on the roadside are covered with shining magic candles of various colors. The sky is fluttering with fine snow under the moonlight.

Surrounded by adults, the boy walked on the snow, leaving detailed and complicated footprints, which were covered up again, just like memories...

Early the next morning, Aberforth, who was recommended by everyone, came to Ralph's house early, knocked on the door, and accompanied Ralph to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies.

Aberforth was a tall, thin man with wisps of gray hair and a beard. He wore glasses. Behind the dirty lenses, he had a pair of blue eyes, bright and sharp.

Surprised at the timing of Aberforth's arrival, Ralph went downstairs and opened the door for him.

Fortunately, Ralph is a magical animal, otherwise he might not be able to get up today. You know, the Forbidden Forest is the busiest at night.

Hogsmeade was shy and embarrassed, and disappeared completely after returning to the Forbidden Forest. A huge figure hovered in the sky, covered with dark clouds, lightning, and hundreds of birds chirping. Their king was back.

After returning to the lair, Ralph pretended to summon Umaru, the "monkey-headed" military advisor. After a routine inquiry about today's territory situation, he verbally commended him, and handed some of the gifts he had received to him.

Let him have a share with his subjects.

'What a kind king I am!' thought Ralph, unaware of Umaru who was there.

‘How many snacks are there and how many subjects are there? Didn’t you count it yourself? It’s really hard for me!’ Umaru walked out with a step, but Ralph noticed something tragic.

Opening the door, Aberforth's tall figure looked particularly gentle in the light sun, but only if you didn't pay attention to the details of his appearance.

"Aberforth, it's morning. Have you eaten? Come in and sit down?" Ralph turned sideways and motioned for him to come in.

"No, we will go directly to Diagon Alley and have breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron. Please finish early. I have to come back to open the shop." Aberforth waved his hand and refused.

"Okay, but can you have customers in your store?" Ralph doubted.

Aberforth gave him a look and let him realize it for himself.

"Well, I wish you lots of money."

"Thank you so much."

The two chatted and came to the Pig's Head Bar. They wanted to use the fireplace here to go to Diagon Alley. As for why Ralph's house didn't have one, it was because everyone agreed that Ralph was too young.

"Look at me, remember, it's Diagon Alley, don't pronounce it wrong, I don't want to look for you everywhere." Aberforth warned, then grabbed a handful of Floo powder, walked to the fireplace, and raised it

, shouted: "Diagon Alley."

Ralph repeated this step, walked into the fireplace, spread the flying powder, and said: "Diagon Alley."

The fire wrapped him up and disappeared on the spot.

There was a feeling of weightlessness. Due to past experiences, Ralph adapted immediately and landed safely. Except for the discomfort caused by the smoke and dust, everything was fine.

In the Leaky Cauldron, after seeing Ralph appear, Aberforth breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked him to follow him and not block other people's way.

As a famous place, this place is really too dark and dirty. The inside of the bar is very dark and simple, with a bar counter and a few tables in the shadows of the corner.

The two sat down in the bar, and Aberforth went up to chat with the owner, Tom, and ordered two pieces of food, a glass of butterbeer and a glass of brandy.

After the two of them finished eating and rested for a while, Aberforth said:

"Let's go to Diagon Alley."

"I haven't paid yet." Ralph said in surprise.

"Hahaha, little Mr. Alvey, Aberforth paid for you." Old Tom at the bar said with a smile.

"You don't really think I want you to invite me." Aberforth winked at him mischievously, "Let's go."

"Excuse me, Mr. Alvey, do you remember your father's appearance?" Old Tom asked. At the same time, the wizards in the bar became quiet and listened carefully.

"I don't remember. I haven't seen him since I was born, and my mother didn't tell me much about him." Ralph felt a little strange, but he still answered obediently, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, sir, what's the name?" Old Tom looked a little disappointed and asked expectantly. The wizard in the bar also pricked up his ears.

"I don't know," Ralph scratched his head, "I have my mother's last name, and she said my father's last name is not worthy of any of us."

"Well, you are such a strong mother, I wish you a happy day." Old Tom's disappointment was evident, and the sound of small conversations rang out in the bar again.

"What's going on?" Ralph looked at Aberforth.

"I don't know either." Aberforth spread his hands with a "I don't know either" expression, and at the same time he couldn't help but marvel at the propaganda ability of the witches.

'It's a good thing I'm single,' Aberforth thought.
