Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

Jiang Li pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the strong smell of mutton mixed with oil came to his face.

The lights were dim and flickering, thick dirt had accumulated on the bay windows, and it was even more messy than the previous visit. It looked like Aberforth hadn't cleaned it for decades.

There was almost no one in the bar, only a few guests with their faces tightly surrounded, talking with their heads together in a low voice.

Jiang Li didn't see Aberforth, but there was a man with neat short black hair sitting at the bar, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and the dark red liquid was swaying gracefully in the transparent wine glass.

His back was somewhat familiar, and Jiang Li curiously walked up to him, ignoring impoliteness, leaning forward to look at the man's face.

Good guy!Credence!How did he not grow old!

Jiang Li unceremoniously poked his elbow with his magic wand: "Credence!"

Credence turned his head and stared at her for a while, then hugged her as if breaking his defense: "Li, I lost Nagini, but I still lost her!"

His emotions were a little out of control, and some of the glass of red wine was spilled on Jiang Li's white coat.

He didn't seem surprised by Jiang Li's current appearance, presumably the two old gentlemen Dumbledore had already informed the only good eldest son of the Dumbledore family about her.

"What should I do? I've been looking for her for 50 years, so long that even Jacob died, but I don't want to give up!" Credence's voice trembled, but Jiang Li's appearance now made him feel a little peace of mind.

Just like when he was abused by his adoptive mother, deceived by Grindelwald, and squeezed by Joseph, it was Jiang Li who saved him, told him that he was a wizard, brought him to see the real magic world, and reunited him with his biological father. Sent him and Nagini to Jacob for some of the best time of his life.

Jiang Li patted his back gently, comforting him: "Credence, I will search for Nagini with you, we will definitely find her!"

"Oh, you're here too. Credence came early in the morning and I've been arguing to go to Hogwarts to find you. Someone told him that you would come by yourself, and it really is!" Aberforth came out of a door behind the bar with a basin of raw lamb chops.

He put the lamb chops on the table, and pushed towards Jiang Li: "I have never been able to make the taste that you made, so I will leave this plate of lamb chops to you!"

He said this as a matter of course, and Jiang Li felt that Aberforth might not lose to Gellert at all in terms of thick skin.

"Oh, you also brought a sturdy black dog, do you want to add dog meat soup to your lunch?"

Aberforth saw Xiao Hei, who was being held by Jiang Li's hand, and walked out of the bar, intending to grab Xiao Hei to wash and pluck his hair.

Xiao Hei watched the old man with a ferocious face stretch out his claws towards him, shivering and hid behind Jiang Li, hoping that his fierce mistress could protect him.

"Stop, Aberforth! This is not for food, this is my pet!" Jiang Li stopped Aberforth's claws.

"It's a pity, such a strong dog doesn't need to be used for shabu-shabu, I bet the meat of this dog must be delicious!" Aberforth gave Xiao Hei a regretful look.

Jiang Li felt Xiao Hei's tremor coming from his calf.

Aberforth finally gave up on Xiao Hei's thoughts, Jiang Li, with the help of Credence, baked a large plate of delicious cumin lamb chops.

"It really smells like nostalgia, 92 years have passed." Aberforth picked up a lamb chop, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of the rich aroma.

"By the way, I just wanted to ask, why did Credence hardly grow old?" Jiang Li picked up a lamb chop in his hand, staring at Credence's face that seemed to be only 40 or [-] years old.

Before Credence could answer, the old father, Aberforth, hurriedly came to tell his son the truth: "The hair is dyed black with hair dye, and as for the face, he will go to the Muggle hospital every once in a while for a facelift. I've never seen a boy as handsome as him!"

Facelift?

Jiang Li couldn't hold it back, burst out laughing, and the drink in his mouth sprayed Aberforth all over, but his clothes were not clean at all.

"Dad, I've said it many times. I'm afraid that Nagini won't recognize me if I look old. I'm not trying to be pretty!" Credence looked at his father with a resentful expression. The old man It's true that the older I get, the more I love nonsense.

"About Nagini, Credence, I found something." Jiang Li propped his chin and thought for a while before deciding to share the discovery of Riddle's house with him.

"Tell me!" Credence immediately put down the lamb chops he was eating, and looked at her seriously.

"I found the note that Nagini left for you in the house of a man named Riddle. She seems to have been tricked by Riddle." Jiang Li took out the broken piece of parchment from his handbag and handed it to you. Gave it to Credence, who always carried this note from Nagini.

Credence took the note in Jiang Li's hand with trembling hands, but he didn't notice his father's face suddenly turned pale when he heard Riddle.

"He lied to Nagini, that man named Riddle, he must have taken Nagini away! I'm going to find him!" Credence's mind was overwhelmed by anger. Putting away the parchment, she stood up and planned to go to the Riddle House that Jiang Li had mentioned.

"Wait! Aurelius! You can't find Riddle, he was killed by a baby 13 years ago." Aberforth grabbed Credence's arm and stopped him.

"Killed by a baby?" Credence began to be a little puzzled, and suddenly he remembered something, and looked at his father suddenly, "The boy named Potter and Voldemort that uncle said? Riddle is Voldemort? "

"Yes, shortly after you left, Riddle quickly gathered a group of dark wizards. He called himself Voldemort, and his followers were called Death Eaters." Aberforth took a sip of brandy, and the memory brought him back to that period. Terrible years.

"I think it was at that time that he took Nagini away, maybe because of the blood curse, this devil always likes to study some evil things."

Hearing what Aberforth said, Credence had a remorseful expression on his face: "At that time, uncle asked me to go back to help, I should go back, maybe I can find Nagini in the hands of Voldemort."

"It's no use, son, no one can handle him, he's meaner and tougher than Grindelwald, even Albus can't help it, but in an unexpected twist, Harry Potter is born .”

Aberforth pointed to the thick layer of dust on the table in the corner of the bar: "I don't remember the day, Trelawney drank too much wine there, drunk, talking drunk all the time , saying that a child born at the end of July would kill Voldemort."

"That day, besides Trelawney, it was just me and Severus Snape."

Aberforth's deep voice narrated the tragedies that happened in the past in the quiet bar, and the wooden windows were rustling by the harsh north wind.

"Snape told Voldemort the secret?" Jiang Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"Yes, he told Voldemort this prophecy, but he didn't expect that there would be two children born at the end of July, one was the son of the Longbottom family, and the other was the son of his childhood friend Lily Evans." Abu Forth leaned against the counter with a tired look on his face.

"Why does Albus keep him as a professor at Hogwarts for such a person!" Jiang Li didn't understand, and even felt angry. She once thought that Snape was a good person, but he was partial.
