In late December, the weather became increasingly cold. The students at Hogwarts were shivering in the castle, and the number of students going to Hogsmeade on Saturday also dropped sharply.
If it weren't for the Rose Moon party today, Qin Weijie wouldn't want to wander around in the cold.
After ordering a cup of hot cocoa at the Two Broomsticks bar, Qin Weijie and Tom sat in the booth at the back of the hall and chatted.
"It's vacation next week, how do you plan to go to sea?"
"Grandpa Tosta has prepared a boat for us." Qin Weijie sipped the hot cocoa with an intoxicated look on his face.
"But I read the recent Muggle newspapers, and it seems that the sea is very uneasy. There are always reports that German submarines attacked civilian ships." Tom said with some worry. ,
Tom is always like this, always worrying about various things and always looking forward and backward in doing things. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that they get into trouble every time they take adventures together.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Tosta has prepared a ghost ship from the Netherlands in the 13th century. As long as we are not exposed at sea, ordinary people will not be able to see it."
Qin Weijie's words did not provide any comfort to Tom. Instead, they made Tom more cautious: "Hey, I don't know why, but every time I go out on an adventure with you, I always feel uneasy."
Qin Weijie had nothing to do about Tom's worries. Anyway, no matter what he said, Tom would always refute him with his plague-like constitution. So Qin Weijie stopped comforting him and just decided secretly in his heart.
'Never tell Tom in advance if something like this happens again. Just knock him out before setting off and take him directly on the road! "
While the two were chatting, the door of the Two Broomsticks bar suddenly opened, and several people walked in.
"Warhammer, your beard seems to be getting longer and longer!" Alaten groped his beard that had just been carefully trimmed at the barber shop in Hogsmeade Village and sighed: "It's time to trim it and let Tony give you a style. Absolutely beautiful."
"Dwarves will grow crazy beards when they enter adolescence. Regardless of men or women, in the social relations of dwarves, the longer the beard is, the more respected it is."
Minsk said in a hoarse and low voice, but the implication was that he did not suggest that Warhammer should follow Alateng's suggestion and find Mr. Tony, the master of Naru Shizi, for modeling.
Talking about the love-hate relationship between Minsk and Mr. Tony from the barber shop, it was an ups and downs story that lasted for seven years.
Alateng curled his lips and said, "Yes! Not everyone can be like you without washing your hair for three months and not getting a haircut for three months. Every time Tony gives you a haircut, he has to wash your hair for an hour.
And every time Tony makes a hairstyle that he is satisfied with on your head, you can always turn your long, silky hair that others admire into locks into locks as quickly as possible. You are still single now. The reason! "
Minsk remained silent, but raised his eyes angrily and rolled his eyes at Alateng, secretly thinking that sometimes he still likes that sissy Alateng.
"Hey, let me tell you! Gentlemen, can you please stop blocking the front to show that your height is an advantage?"
Annie's displeased voice came from outside the door. Arateng and others had blocked the door tightly, making it impossible for Annie, Quess and George to squeeze in.
Hearing this, Alateng and Minsk moved forward with their war hammers to make way for the door.
Annie walked into Two Broomsticks angrily and saw Qin Weijie and Tom sitting in the corner of the hall:
"Ah! It's the president and Tom! I told you before, they will definitely arrive first. Arateng still has to trim his beard. Isn't he going to Greece to meet Joanna for Christmas? As for that! I almost lose my love. Personality!"
Annie cursed and walked quickly towards Qin Weijie.
Qin Weijie was already accustomed to the noisy way of getting along among his fellow members. Without saying anything, he winked at everyone and took the lead in sneaking into the secret passage behind the bar and heading to Rose Moon's activity room.
The members entered the activity room in twos and threes. As soon as they entered the activity room, everyone else took their seats. Only Warhammer turned to the other side and moved a low stool from the corner with familiarity.
When he came to the wine cabinet, he bit his index finger nail and thought about which bottle of wine to choose.
"Brandy? Tequila? Or rum?" Warhammer asked.
Tom glanced at Qin Weijie with a joking expression: "Under your leadership, the members of Rose Moon successfully evolved into alcoholics!"
"Take the flaming agave on the second floor on the left!" Qin Weijie helped Warhammer make a choice, and then turned back to refute Tom's sarcasm: "I didn't lead it, so I won't take the blame! If you want to blame it, blame Roland. ! She still led me to drink!"
"It really has nothing to do with the president..." Minsk suddenly joined the group chat and turned to look at Alateng who was eager to try and the warhammer holding almost half the height of a dwarf: "The main reason is that there are people in our club. Two drunkards with half the blood of Mijiu!"
Just as he was talking, Warhammer, who was less than 1.1 meters tall, came to the sofa with Flame Tequila in his arms. The well-behaved president, Minsk, and Alateng poured the wine, and used the not-so-skilled Flying Curse to pour the wine for the others. After drinking butterbeer, I was satisfied and gave myself a glass of tequila. Then I drank a big gulp of it, and my face turned rosy.
"Hey, Warhammer, drink slowly! Don't forget that we have something to talk about today!" Qin Weijie reminded.
Warhammer responded with a no-questions-asked gesture and secretly took another sip of Flame Tequila.
"Okay, everyone is here! In order to avoid someone getting drunk later, let's go straight to the topic and talk about business first!" Qin Weijie said, everyone put down their wine glasses, and everyone sat upright and looked at Qin Weijie pretending to be serious. .
"There are three things to do in calling everyone here today." Qin Weijie paused and looked at George: "The first thing is for George to talk about first! Tell us about the investigation of Warhammer's father in the past few months!"
Senior George stood up flattered and nodded to everyone charmingly, but his movements should be as coquettish as possible.
"I don't know why, but I always have the urge to slap him!" Quess squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth through gritted back molars.
The demon doll Pipiru sat in Kuisi's arms and said fiercely: "If Kuisi hadn't held Pipiru down, Pipilu would have beaten him!"
The burly and masculine Alateng on the side covered his face with a bitter smile: "Don't tell me, I was just as disgusting as him back then!"
Annie's timely last-ditch attack:
"No! Alateng, believe me, you are better than him in terms of coquettishness..." Just as Alateng was comforted, Annie continued: "But in terms of disgustingness, even George can't compare to you before!"
"Oh! President! Look at them~" George complained to Qin Weijie coquettishly.
At this time, Qin Weijie looked up at the ceiling, a bitter tear sliding down his cheek.
Tom almost burst out laughing at this time, but he still had to hold back his smile and patted Qin Weijie's chest to comfort him: "It's okay! It's okay! They are all members of our club! It doesn't matter if they are weird! The style of your club depends on you. You can tell that from a president!"
"That's enough for you! Didn't you see that there are still guests here today... It's been three years! You can't let me carry out a normal club activity!!!"
Seeing Qin Weijie going crazy, everyone quickly fell silent. Even George, who was so angry, sat down dignifiedly.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Weijie's left hand. Under Qin Weijie's left hand, there were clearly long silver needles shining with cold light.
"Ahem! I won't make trouble with you anymore!" George forcibly changed the topic back and continued: "With the authorization of the president, during this period we have successively used the intelligence connections of the Welfare family, the spying eyes in Europe, and Some intelligence networks of my own.
According to the information provided by Warhammer, his father was an elusive adventurer (mainly what Warhammer's grandma told him, and Warhammer himself had never met his father at all). Sixteen years ago, in March 1924, the adventurer was chased by a dark wizard and fled to the ancient dwarven world in southern Ireland. During this period, he had a relationship with Warhammer's mother. In January of the following year, Warhammer was born.
However, Warhammer's father did not know about Warhammer's existence. He stayed in the ancient dwarf world for two months and then left. Since then, he has been communicating with the Warhammer tribe from time to time.
, but the frequency of communication cannot be determined.
The last letter was sent in November last year. The specific content of the letter is not clear to Warhammer. We only know that the adventurer said in the letter that he was tired of the wandering life and would go to his alma mater, Hogwarts, this year to find... A stable job.
Friends, that’s all, all, all the leads we’ve got! "
George said, Warhammer whispered a little sorry in an embarrassed voice.
"Okay, we all know this. Let's talk about your progress. Didn't you say you already have some insights?" Qin Weijie urged, patting Warhammer's small shoulder comfortingly.
"Of course, I don't mean to blame Tsui Chui! I just want to explain how difficult the investigation work is. I hope the president can show some sympathy to us!" George continued, but when he saw Qin Weijie taking out a silver needle and looking at it with an unkind expression, George immediately continued to investigate the progress:
"Because Warhammer inherited magical talents from his father, we excluded that his father was a dwarf, goblin, gnome, hobbit, or any other race without magical talents.
I checked all the new teachers, staff, support staff, and even the workers who delivered vegetables between Hogsmeade and Hogwarts, and finally decided on a list.
Since the three schools jointly run the school this year, we are not sure whether the so-called "come to Hogwarts to find a stable job" in the letter is actually joining Hogwarts, or coming to Hogwarts together with the other two schools. So the workload is huge, and the final list is also quite large.”
George handed over the so-called list. Qin Weijie took a look at the list and found that there were nearly a hundred names.
"Is this your result!?" Qin Weijie was a little dissatisfied.
George shook his head and took out another list: "President, don't be impatient. According to clues, we learned that Mr. Adventurer is a graduate of Hogwarts, so based on this clue, I reduced the list to 74 people. .”
Qin Weijie took the list and looked at the 74 names, and pondered: "It's still too many! Didn't you continue to investigate in three months?"
"Aha! The president is really wise, how did you know that I conducted further screenings!" As George said, he took out a list again. Qin Weijie's temples were about to explode when he saw this scene. Fortunately, Tom comforted him, otherwise If you can't keep it, blood will be spattered for five steps.
"For these 74 people, I secretly investigated whether they had ever traveled to Ireland, and finally reduced the list to 36 people." As he spoke, George took out a roll of list again.
Qin Weijie did not reach out to take it this time, but said coldly: "You'd better make sure this is the last list, otherwise I promise to throw you into the corpse refining field and let those failed experiments die!"
"Ahem, if that's the case, let's wait a little longer!" George quickly took back the list: "Of these 36 people, I investigated in detail when they went to Ireland, and finally found that those who had lived in Ireland between 1924 and 1925 There are only 17 people.
After investigation, among these 17 people, there were 5 people whose work experience in the past 20 years matched the nature of adventurer work.
These five people are Professor Pester and Professor Flitwick of Hogwarts School. Professor Pester graduated from Hogwarts in 1917, and Professor Flitwick graduated in 1919. The two of them They were all dueling stars who traveled all over the world.
Beauxbatons' financial officer, Thorin Nekos, graduated from Hogwarts Slytherin School in 1911. This gentleman is quite interesting. His hidden identity is a fraudster who is active in the Middle East, Egypt, and Europe all year round. In mainland China and the Nordic countries, the highest record is a financial fraud of nearly 20,000 galleons.
Mr. Liver Cornwall, the caretaker of the Durmstrang potion storage room, was a student of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts and graduated in 1908. This gentleman was once a brave vampire hunter. Hunting vampires of Dracula's lineage, it was not until the year before last that he was no longer suitable to be a vampire hunter due to old injuries. He struggled in the hunting circle for another two years, and finally accepted his old friend, Demster, at the end of last year. Invited by Long's current principal, he became the caretaker of the potion storage room.
So is the last one
Durmstrang's faculty member, Professor Putt Wilson of the Dark Arts course (Durmstrang's unique dark magic research course), graduated from Hogwarts Ravenclaw House in 1910. After graduating from the school Mr. Wilson was engaged in archaeological work and traveled to many places until he came into contact with ancient black magic texts in an ancient tomb. From then on, he became obsessed with black magic and became a treasure hunter who was obsessed with collecting black magic texts. "
