Hogwarts Melon Eater - Chapter 187
“Dong Dong Dong——” At the same time as Anna, Dumbledore and Grindelwald negotiated, Harry, Sirius and Goatman also came to the “Old Man Jumping Pot”‘s cabin.
“These people have been watching us since we came here…” The goat man frowned, knocking on the door while paying attention to the people around him, no children, mostly adults, mostly peasant women, with a nervous expression on their faces .
Harry didn’t feel very well. “Did they want to say something?” He rubbed his arms. “Just now, a lady stood up and was pulled back by the old man next to her.”
Sirius tried to infiltrate the crowd as a dog and tried to eavesdrop on what they were discussing, but it didn’t work. It seems that the people here are still in awe of a **** dog who is not on a leash, Sirius. before, they back off.
However, Harry and his party didn’t have much time to think about the strangeness of the townspeople, because the door in front of them had been slowly opened, and the wooden signboard of this medieval house, ‘Jumping Pot Master’s House’, with the sudden The blowing wind swayed, and the sound of the bell rang, ‘Ding dong ding dong…’ It felt very strange.
‘Never mind, Mr. Lupin may be inside,’Harry frowned and entered the room first.
Without the clutter of imagination, it’s no different from an ordinary shop in Diagon Alley, perhaps even more in line with Harry’s liking than the decoration of ‘Olivander’s Wand Shop’ – confusing Crucible decorations, air-dried horned slugs, and various silks and satins that are free to play are hung from the beams… Miscellaneous random decorations are stuffed in every corner, making the whole room look very lively.
“Anyone? Mr. Lupin? Lady Satasha’s sister?” Harry called in a low voice, fearing that the small cauldrons hanging above his head would fall off, with Goatman and Sirius following him.
The goatman leaned over to the air-dried horned slug to take a closer look, frowned, “What’s for sale here?” he whispered.
“This is the House of All Things, as the name suggests, a place where everything can be resolved,” a voice sounded from the large cauldron placed in the corner of the wall, and then an old man who was not too tall appeared strangely from it.
“Of course not everything can be resolved. After realizing this, the store is closed,” the old man ordered from the crucible, standing inside, “so you can leave.”
“Sir! Are you the old man who jumped the pot?” Harry felt that the old man in front of him looked very ordinary, with rough clothes, cloth shoes, and his mental state looked good. He didn’t look like a terrible old father who would use human blood to revive his son. Maybe Both Mr. Lupin and Satasha’s sister are still alive.
The old man focused his eyes on Harry, still not intending to come out of the cauldron, he was silent for a while and then said, “Yes and no.”
“What does this mean?” Goatman walked over and tapped the cauldron that the old man had come out of. “Can you make it clear? Don’t make up these weird riddles?”
The old man glanced at the goat man, “I’m the old man who is ‘jumping the pot’, but I am not the one you are looking for.”
The goat guy didn’t hear any difference, he was a grumpy himself, and now he’s even more grumpy, muttering ‘The people here are talking like crazy,’ while trying to pull Harry away.
“Wait,” Harry could hear the difference, “Sir, you mean… are you jumping the pot?” Harry asked hesitantly.
“Yes,” the old man nodded, still not coming out of the cauldron, but at this time Harry and his party already knew the reason why he stayed in the cauldron.
It is not appropriate to use the word ‘wait’. To be precise, the old man and the crucible are one body. A sturdy hairy leg stretched out from under the crucible, stepped on the ground steadily, and brought the crucible off the ground——
This time the old man doesn’t look short at all, and he is definitely the most dazzling boy when he walks on the street.
The goat man was so surprised that he lost his words, and Sirius also widened his eyes. Only Harry accepted this setting naturally.
“Mr. Tiaotiaoguo, have you seen a middle-aged man in a black cloak, his face is a little pale, he should have come here yesterday…”
“Aren’t you surprised that I’m just jumping on the pot?” the old man interrupted Harry. “Son, there’s a cauldron with a human body in front of you!”
“Uh… yes, Mr. Tumbling Pot…”
Harry scratched his head, should this be surprising? You must know that the owner of the “Patch Crucible Shop” in Diagon Alley would turn his head into a crucible every now and then to attract customers. This kind of thing would of course seem curious in the Middle Ages, but in the current magic world, it seems Not so unacceptable either—just say times have changed, “I know someone with a cauldron head.”
Jumping Pot was surprised, Harry saw the hair on his legs stand up, “incredible,” he said, and then jumping pot answered Harry’s question in awe, “I did see the pale face you described. The man who came to look for Modesty, the wanderer who came here a month ago.”
Modesty is Satasha’s missing sister.
“But Modesty is no longer here. It’s just that someone in the capital came to the Master’s House to entrust them, hoping to find some children with eccentric abilities. Modesty is very much in line with their requirements… and the remuneration they offered made me The owner couldn’t refuse.” Tiaotiaoguo paused for a moment, “We have never done human trafficking before, so this is the first, and of course, the last time.”
“The man you were looking for went to the capital, I think you can go now.”
Harry turned his head to look at the Goatman, wondering if what Jumping Cauldron said was true or not, and the Goatman tapped the cauldron again, “Where’s your master?”
Jumping the pot didn’t want to answer the goat guy’s question.
Harry could only go out and say, “Mr. Jumping Pot, what kind of compensation did the people in the capital propose? Why is the Master’s House closed now?”
Jumping Pot sighed, his hairy legs jumped, and jumped to the edge of a shelf, almost stepping on Sirius’ tail, he answered Harry’s question, “The people in the capital said there was a way to resurrect the master’s son, so The master took Modesti to the capital… I haven’t come back yet…”
“I don’t want to think so, but it’s very likely…they won’t come back,” Harry looked familiar, taking a gorgeous jeweled robe from the shelf. “This is what you’re looking for. The man left behind, he had already left, and soon after, I suddenly heard movement outside the house, and when I went out to see it, only this cape was left.”
Harry took the cape, politely thanked Tiaotiaoguo, and then hurried to the capital with Goatman and Sirius to find the man who was ‘his heart pierced by an arrow, but came back alive from the battlefield’. Jumping the pot revealed that it was his commission.
“I’m a magical cauldron,” Jumping Pot started humming a weird song just as Harry was about to walk out the door, “thick hairy legs, delicate shell, I’ll help those who need it the most~ If you If you are a real knight, then prove to me that I will provide the best weapons to help you defeat powerful enemies~”
………………
Remus Lupin opened his eyes, his head hurt like a needle stick, as if he drank fake wine the night before.
‘what happened? ‘He covered his head, struggled to get up, and groped in the dark, ‘click’he felt like he stepped on something, but he didn’t touch anything, so he could only move more carefully towards the only light.
The only light is a stone window. Looking out from the window, there is a large forest below. In addition to this, you can see the castle outside the forest, which should be the royal capital.
Lupin remembered why he was here, and when he learned that Sattasha’s sister, Modesty, was brought to the capital, he hurriedly went to look for it. As soon as he went out, he saw the full moon exposed after the clouds dissipated. , In desperation, he was forced to turn into a werewolf. Fortunately, there were no people in the town at night and no unnecessary casualties were caused. After running to the edge of the capital, the strange force guards caught him… Then he was locked here~www.mtlnovel .com~ Lupin rubbed his head, it really hurts to be hit by the guard with a wooden stick… Werewolves can lose consciousness, it seems that they can’t confront the guards here, he touched his sleeve, fortunately, the magic wand Not taken away.
“Fluorescent flashes!” Lupin used the Illumination Charm, causing the wand port to glow faintly so he could see his surroundings.
This is a prison cell. The only decoration is the two skeletons sitting against the wall. Lupin frowned and moved there. Judging from the thick dust on the bones, the two have been dead for a long time. Time passed, and the calf of one of the skeletons was pitifully broken in two, and Lupin finally knew what he had just stepped on.
Merlin’s beard… He sighed, pointing his wand at the calf bone, “Return to the original!” The bone was perfectly restored to its original shape.
“Huh—” Lupin let out a sigh of relief.
But soon the breath was stuck back in the chest, because the restored skeleton suddenly spoke.
“Thank you, that’s so sweet, sweetheart.”
