Starting Over at Hogwarts

Chapter 9 The Leaky Cauldron, Cedric Diggory

The Leaky Cauldron.

When Vincent Wright and old Barty Crouch opened the wooden door and entered the bar, the first floor of this small bar was quite lively at this time.

A group of wizards chatted enthusiastically while holding their wine glasses.

One of them was a middle-aged man who seemed quite talkative, with a pair of glasses on his nose, but he looked like a very sophisticated old scholar.

“It was a great trip…”

Now this middle-aged man with an old pedantic image is very happy to show off his travels to the wizard friends in the bar: "I saw many amazing magical creatures in the rainforest. Mr. Newt Scamander learned that I After going to the rainforest of South America, he warmly wrote to invite me to visit him at his home..."

Obviously.

It can be heard from this man's mouth that having Newt Scamander, an expert on magical animals, invite him to be a guest is a capital worth boasting about.

This is indeed something to boast about.

Because Newt Scamander has a very high honor in the wizarding world, the old man has written many books about magical creatures, which have always been used as Hogwarts textbooks.

"Celebrate Amos Diggory's travels!"

"Congratulations to Amos on being invited by Mr. Scamander!"

All the people in the Leaky Cauldron happily raised their glasses to celebrate the man who was able to receive Mr. Scamander's invitation, and a tall figure appeared the most enthusiastic.

It was a half-blood giant.

Rubeus Hagrid, Hogwarts Forbidden Forest and Gamekeeper, on the surface is an orderly who stays in the school, but in essence he is someone Dumbledore trusts very much.

The half-giant was very fond of magical creatures, so he was quite enthusiastic about the travel stories that the talkative man told...

certainly.

Rubeus Hagrid was not the focus of Wayson's attention.

Compared to Rubeus Hagrid, there was a black-haired boy in this bar who caught Vincent Wright's attention more, with a slender figure standing behind the talkative man.

This black-haired boy is very handsome.

To put it a little bit immodestly, Wesson Wright felt that this boy was probably a little less handsome than himself.

As if aware of Wesson's gaze, the black-haired boy looked at Wesson who appeared here, smiled and nodded to Wesson Wright.

This is a well-mannered man.

Whether it's his actions or his looks, they all appear natural and elegant, and it seems that people have a good impression of him, and they can't help but want to praise him a few words.

Just at this time, the middle-aged man who was full of chatter took the black-haired boy's shoulders, and introduced loudly with a smile: "It's a pity that I can't go to Mr. Scamander's house for the time being, because my son Cedric will soon He is going to study at Hogwarts, and today I am going to accompany him to buy the things Hogwarts freshmen need 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 it has to be delayed by a year..."

Just as the other drinkers were trying to appease him, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "But Cedric has finished reading the textbooks I left for him that he used. I believe that with his intelligence, he will definitely become a Excellent Hufflepuff student!"

"..."

Cedric's face flushed with embarrassment.

Perhaps he was a little ashamed of his father's boasting, or perhaps shy because the people in the bar were staring at him.

If it were an ordinary little boy, he might have been hiding behind his father's back a long time ago, and he would be ashamed to face the scorching eyes of these adults.

Cedric behaved very differently.

After a moment of shyness, the black-haired boy lowered his head humbly,

He performed the etiquette of apologizing among wizards to the many drinkers in front of him: "I am very sorry for disturbing everyone's leisure in the afternoon."

"Congratulations to Mr. Cedric Diggory!"

"Congratulations to Amos Diggory for having a wonderful son!"

"Congratulations to Hogwarts that a great student will be born!"

"Celebrate Hufflepuff... Hufflepuff will be defeated by Gryffindor again in this year's Quidditch Cup!"

"..."

There was another round of cheers in the bar.

Among them are some drinkers who like to secretly carry private goods. Obviously, these drinkers should be wizards who graduated from Gryffindor College.

While the people in the bar were enjoying their drinks, Cedric Diggory and his father, Amos Diggory, finally emerged from the crowd to say hello.

Since Amos Diggory had also seen Barty Crouch Sr., both of them could barely be called colleagues of the Ministry of Magic.

The old Barty Crouch used to have a high reputation, but now he is in a semi-retired state, and he can also be the director of the International Magic Cooperation Department of the British Ministry of Magic;

Amos Diggory is only a staff member in the super unpopular department of the Department of Magical Creatures. It seems that those who come out of Hufflepuff College are really not good at politics...

"Long time no see, Mr. Crouch."

Amos Diggory came over, stretched out his hand towards old Barty Crouch, and squeezed his palm firmly: "Your spirit looks very good..."

"And you too, Amos."

Old Barty Crouch shook his palm slowly, his eyes fell on Cedric Diggory next to him, and he praised very seriously on his face: "Amos, you have a very good son."

"Hahahahaha..."

Amos Diggory couldn't hide his pride anymore, he patted his son's shoulder vigorously, and urged, "This is also the proudest thing in my life!"

After finishing speaking, Amos Diggory noticed the gray-haired boy beside old Barty Crouch, and asked softly, "This one is..."

"This is…"

Old Barty Crouch looked at Wesson Wright standing beside him. At this moment, he suddenly didn't know how to introduce Wesson's identity to others.

If the status of the introduction is too low...

What if Wesson Wright made people unable to step down on the spot?

Vincent Wright seemed to have sensed the hesitation of old Barty Crouch, and he took the initiative to extend his palm towards Amos Diggory: "I am Vincent, Vincent Wright, and I also entered this year A freshman at Hogwarts."

After finishing speaking, Wesson Wright glanced at Cedric Diggory and added: "If nothing else happens, he should also enter Hufflepuff College."

"Oh?"

Amos Digory's eyes lit up instantly.

There was also a gleam of joy in Cedric Diggory's eyes. He had a good impression of the classmate he met by chance, perhaps because of his kind nature.

This goodness.

Definitely genuine kindness.

Cedric even took the initiative to reach out his hand to Wesson, and said seriously: "Let me introduce myself again, Cedric, Cedric Diggory."

"I heard it just now."

Wesen held Cedric's hand in a friendly manner, and said with sincerity on his face, "I think it is a joyful thing to meet a classmate at this time."

"I also think so…"

Cedric nodded happily in agreement.
