Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 147: Rescued
The noise from the Pig's Head pub, the explosion of spells, and the screaming and running away guests almost alarmed half of Hogsmeade village.
Many surrounding merchants, some guests from the village, and even many Hogwarts students all came to watch curiously.
"Mr. Percival, what happened?" Mr. Rosmerta, the owner of the Two Broomsticks Bar, asked curiously as he walked among the crowd.
"That damned Tom is a thief!" Mr. Percival roared angrily at the door of his bar, "He stole 100 Galleons from me...Damn it, after being exposed by me, holding that pen Money, he escaped under my nose..."
The surrounding merchants looked at each other in dismay. They and Mr. Percival have basically been neighbors for decades... Although no one likes Mr. Percival who is grumpy and unwilling to communicate with others...
But they all have to admit that this old pig-headed bartender is not a bad guy... He is definitely not capable of doing things like framing people for no reason.
What's more, the new waiter, Tom, has a sly face; he has been in Hogsmeade for more than half a year, and he often sneaks around without knowing what he is doing... Everyone doesn't care about him. favor.
Several neighbors quickly expressed comfort, so that Mr. Percival need not be sad, after all, the loss is not big...
Mr. Rosmerta persuaded Mr. Percival to write a letter to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible to recover the loss as much as possible.
"I don't trust those **** in the Ministry of Magic!" Mr. Percival said angrily, "I still remember that twenty years ago, one of my goats was stolen, and after reporting it to the Ministry of Magic, They insisted that I lost it..."
While speaking, he hung a "Closed Business" sign on the door, and closed the door heavily.
The spectators have nothing to do with it.
Victims are unwilling to inform the Ministry of Magic, and they are not able to say anything.
They could only smile, and while chatting about this matter, they dispersed.
…
The witch who had just attacked Tom Gaunt suddenly turned into a cat, and now she has turned back into a witch.
In her emerald green gown, with square eyes and jet-black hair pulled into a tight bun, she looks serious.
"Is it all right, Aberforth?" she asked softly.
"No problem at all, don't worry, Minerva," Mr. "Percival" replied, "After all, I have been here for more than sixty years, so I still have some prestige... What about that boy? ?”
His voice sounded a little anxious.
"In that 'Tom' room," the witch replied, "it should be all right... Aberforth, you have to be careful, that 'Tom' is very powerful, I didn't hurt him much... And if it wasn't for the surprise attack before, the two of us might not even be his opponents... If he comes back to try to take revenge..."
"It's just a coward," Mr. "Perceval" sneered, "He thought I didn't discover his true face, but in fact, I realized that he had another purpose on the first day he came to Hogsmeade. That's why he's taken in... Believe me, he doesn't dare to go back to Hogsmeade, because he is too afraid of Grindelwald, he will think that we are Grindelwald's people, so he doesn't have the guts to come back... ..."
"It's better to be careful." The witch said softly.
She walked to the window of the Hog's Head and opened half the window.
"I'm leaving first, Aberforth, I have more important things to do!" said the witch.
"Well, be careful!"
Then, the witch's body began to shrink slowly, and finally turned into a cat... Then, she left the Pig's Head Bar with lightning speed.
…
Mr. "Percival" walked towards the basement.
The room of "Tom Gunter" is very messy, full of strange gadgets, and in the dirty corner, lies a comatose boy.
Mr. "Percival" bent down, picked up the boy, and brought him to the living room—
Mr. "Percival" glanced at the messy surroundings due to the previous battle, and frowned slightly.
He lightly waved the magic wand in his hand... The tables and chairs jumped back to their original positions one by one, returning to their original shape in mid-air; the oil lamp flew to the small table by the wall and was lit again. All the broken, torn, and gaping places in the room were restored to original condition.
Everything returned to the way it was before.
Then, he pointed his wand at the unconscious boy:
"Enervate!"
The boy frowned slightly, and he woke up.
…
Matthew Wakefield looked at his surroundings in astonishment.
If I remember correctly, before he passed out, he was located in the secret passage between the Shrieking Shack and Hogwarts... At that time Tom Riddle had already captured himself...
But now, he seemed to be in a small, cramped and dirty bar that was hundreds of years old.
There was thick grime all around, a strange smell in the air, and some candles burning on the rough wooden table. Almost everything here is dirty, from the floor to the roof, even the butterbeer bottles are covered in a thick layer of dust.
That's right, it's the Pig's Head Pub!
Matthew raised his head, and saw a ferocious, distorted face... There were almost a dozen scars all over this old man's face, as if his whole body had been disfigured.
Matthew quickly recognized him as Mr. Percival, the bartender at the Pig's Head Bar!
"Mr. Percival..." Matthew struggled and got up from the ground.
"Why am I here?" He asked very puzzled~IndoMTL.com~I'm also very strange...why did you faint at the door of my bar for no reason! "The old man with a ferocious face said with a fierce look on his face, "If I wasn't afraid of being gossiped, I wouldn't let you in!" "
"I passed out at the door of the Pig's Head Bar..." Matthew was stunned, but he still hadn't realized what happened.
"Yes, my business has been delayed for so long..." The old man gave Matthew a cold look, "You're awake now...quick...get out of here!"
"I..." Matthew was still in a dazed state, so Mr. "Mr. Percival" forcibly pulled and rushed out.
However, instead of going through the main entrance, they came to the back entrance of the Pig's Head Bar.
Mr. "Percival" pushed Matthew out, and then closed the door heavily.
Matthew stood there very confused.
He once began to suspect that he had just experienced a dream before.
