I'm the king of scrolls at Hogwarts - Chapter 350

c329 Grandpa is seriously ill

In terms of playing cards, Harry didn’t have any bonus from the Children of Luck. In just two hours, he lost three gold galleons. If the twins hadn’t deliberately cheated, he would have lost all his pants. .

Louis’ luck wasn’t very good today either. After a small loss, he was all won by the three Weasley brothers.

“You three are so lucky, I won’t play with you anymore.” Harry threw the cards away and prepared for you to play: “We are about to get off the bus, forget it, wait for me to wash my hands another day Fight again!”

Everyone glanced out the window and saw that it was indeed almost there. The train had already entered London.

“It’s almost here…” Harry murmured, he was still a little reluctant, but also a little looking forward to it – this was his first time to spend the summer at Sirius’s house, instead of going back to that abominable Uncle Vernon. Home.

“What, you don’t want to go home yet?” Lewis asked with raised eyebrows, “This is the first time I’ve seen students who don’t want to go home during the holidays… But I don’t understand it. If it was normal two years ago, this year you I’m not going to the Dursleys’ house…”

“Isn’t this nervous…” Harry hiccupped, feeling a little uncomfortable.

“What’s there to be nervous about? That’s your godfather, not an outsider.” Louis shrugged, not understanding Harry’s nervousness.

Human beings’ joys and sorrows are not the same. Harry…well, Harry is poor.

That’s probably the mentality anyway.

After getting out of the car, Louis saw Sirius and Aunt Molly standing together, with his mother and sister Diana beside him. He waved to them, and his mother waved too, but her expression was not as cheerful as usual. Even the smile that had always been on sister Diana’s face was gone. Louis didn’t know why he suddenly felt something bad. Feel.

Sure enough, when she walked to the edge, Diana whispered: “Grandpa’s health is not very good. He was even admitted to the hospital a few days ago…”

Louis only felt a thud, and he staggered back two steps. Although he was a time traveler, the relationship he had shared since childhood could not be faked. His grandfather’s love for him was genuine and not watered down at all. That kind of thing, when he suddenly heard the news that the old man was critically ill, he felt a little unable to accept it.

“Why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing?” Louis’ eyes were red. If grandpa had any shortcomings, he… he didn’t dare to think about it.

“Don’t worry, grandpa has no major problems for the time being and is out of danger… I originally wanted to inform you, but Hogwarts couldn’t call you. Just when I was about to ask Emeriss to send a message, grandpa You are out of danger. He said that you are a person who is doing big things. Don’t let this little thing disturb you. You have been repeatedly told not to let us call you back…” Diana said worriedly: “But the doctor said that the situation is not optimistic… Grandpa is too old and his body functions have declined…”

“What did Chromie say?” Louis raised his head and asked, “Grandpa has accepted it…” As he said that, he noticed that he was at the station and there were many people talking, so he said hello to Harry and the others, and his mother And Diana got in the car.

In the car, my mother whispered: “Even if you accept the inheritance, there is nothing you can do. Chromie said that even if the humans over there reach the epic level, they cannot resist the natural aging of the body…”

Lewis was silent, he sighed and said, “Let’s go home and see grandpa first.”

Along the way, Louis was not in a good mood. Catherine sat next to him, holding his hand with both hands, silently encouraging him. Louis rested his head on Catherine’s shoulder, and all he could think about was going back to grab Chromie and ask him carefully.

After returning home, the first thing Louis did was rush to his grandfather’s room.

Grandpa was sitting by the window looking at the scenery at this time. Louis noticed that at this time, Grandpa no longer had the high spirits of the past, but was replaced by deep fatigue. He looked like a very ordinary old man suffering from a long-term illness.

“Come back?” These were the first words my grandfather said when he saw him.

There was a lot that Louis wanted to say. He had been thinking about it for a long time on the road, but when it came to his mouth, the thousands of words finally turned into just a “hmm”.

“It’s good to be back.” Old Louis turned around and looked at his eldest grandson, without speaking for a long time.

Louis walked to his grandfather’s recliner, pulled a chair and sat down, holding back for a long time not knowing what to say.

“Look at what you are like now, there is nothing to be sad about.” Old Louis became a little angry when he saw his eldest grandson. He grabbed the crutch beside the recliner and wanted to give Louis a few blows. But he didn’t want to give it up. He put down the walking stick angrily for a while, stretched out his old hand and stroked the eldest grandson’s hair.

“Be open-minded. Birth, old age, illness and death are common occurrences. This is the law of nature.” Old Louis was very open-minded. He looked at his good grandson with satisfaction no matter how he looked at it. The grandson has inherited the fine traditions of the Mountbatten family and now has a bit of status in the wizarding world. He has nothing to regret.

As for regrets, it is that my son David died too early.

“You want to live ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years.” Louis couldn’t hold it back, and tears flowed down: “You haven’t seen the birth of my and Catherine’s child yet…”

“Silly boy, do you think I am that shark?” Old Louis glanced at his eldest grandson, “If you live ten thousand years or one hundred thousand years, we don’t want to engage in such feudal ideas in our family…”

“Grandpa, our family is a remnant of feudalism.” Louis reminded kindly.

Old Louis:…

I can’t accept what you’re saying.

“Okay, okay, tell me, you are like this as soon as you come back. How can you please the old man?” Old Louis glared at his grandson and said angrily: “Old man, I just adjusted my mentality. You, the kid, are like this as soon as you come here.” This good mood has been ruined, tell me, did you do it on purpose?”

“…” Louis wondered, am I still your grandson? He touched his nose and coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

“Okay, let me be clean,” Old Louis began to persuade others, “Go, if you want to cry, go cry with your mother. You are such a big man, you don’t look like a talker…”

Louis:…

“Okay, then I’ll go find my mother. Don’t you regret it?” Lewis asked tentatively.

Old Louis waved his hands impatiently and said, “Stay somewhere cool. You can still live for a few months. If you let your grandson interfere for a few more days, you will lose at least dozens of days.”

Louis immediately called Chromie when he walked out of his grandfather’s room. Chromie always responded to requests. The moment Louis called, he jumped out of the air and brought out a lot of yellow sand.

This is not something that Louis needs to worry about. Anyway, it is not his job to clean the house and his servants will take care of it. He dragged Chromie to the side room and looked at her with burning eyes: “Chromie, I ask you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully.”

“Ah…?” Chromie asked a little cutely. She probably knew why Louis, who had always been calm, was so impatient.

“If I can get the life essence of the Red Dragon Legion, can my grandfather still be saved?” Louis’ voice was trembling – he was afraid that Chromie would shake his head.

Chromie let out a “hurt” sound and spread his hands: “I thought it was something…that’s it? If you can get the life essence of the Red Dragon Legion…your grandfather, a mortal, can’t be saved, let alone question—at least it would make him immortal.”

Louis banged the table excitedly, startling Chromie: “What are you doing? You’re so surprised… The life essence of the Red Dragon Legion is not easy to deal with… Don’t count on Krisstrasa and Lilas Thassa, they are just ordinary red dragons. They are not guardian dragons like His Majesty Alexstrasza. They cannot condense the essence of life for you… But it is perfectly fine to hang your grandfather’s life. These days, it has been Christasa is hanging on for your grandfather…”

“Let’s go to Azeroth.” Louis sighed: “As for the raid on Grim Batol, I took over the job – you have to get a good meal early, my grandfather can’t wait.”

“Are you sure?” Chromie hesitated, looked at Louis and asked: “If you go with Catherine, even if you rescue His Majesty Alexstrasza, you will only be able to obtain two copies of the essence of the Red Dragon Legion… …”

“Oh, you don’t need to worry about that.” Louis thought that he would be rewarded with more than twenty for completing the task. He patted Chromie’s young shoulder, “I’ll call Catherine. Let’s set off now.”

“That’s fine…” Chromie nodded, “After all, time flows at different speeds on both sides. If we were in Azeroth, one month in the past would be equivalent to one day here.”

Lewis wanted to ask if it was not static, but stopped and asked instead: “Why are the flow rates different?”

“Of course it’s the bronze dragon’s help. Are you a fool?” Chromie rolled his eyes at him. “This is specially approved by His Majesty Nozdormu. Otherwise, do you think you will get this treatment?”

“Thank you, His Majesty Nozdormu, for me.” After Louis said that, he turned and walked out of the door. After a while, he walked in with Catherine.

Seeing them coming in, Chromie didn’t say much, and just asked “Are you ready?”

“Well, I have already told my mother and the others that I will go out with Catherine for a day or two before going home… Let’s get started.” Louis nodded. He did not dare to tell his mother that he was going out for an adventure, let alone his grandfather. Say, otherwise it is unknown whether he can come back here.

Chromie snapped his fingers, and a portal covered with yellow sand appeared in front of them.

“Go in.” Chromie said, “You two go first, I still have to maintain the portal.”

After Lewis took two steps, he suddenly remembered a question, stopped, turned around and asked, “I have a question, where are you going to send us?”

“Of course it’s Dalaran, what else?” Chromie asked with a cute look on his face.

“The situation at the gate of Qinglong Temple will not happen again, right? You suddenly disappeared and left us here?” Louis looked a little unkind, and he thought of the incident at Qinglong Temple.

Chromie laughed twice and waved his little hand: “How could it be possible? How could it be possible? Don’t worry…here, here is this thing for you. This is a token of the bronze dragon clan. You can give it to Cleoste Just Raz… Well, you don’t have to worry about the gold coins. Gold Galleons are the same as the gold coins over there, and they look almost the same.”

“If you lie to me, I will eat a whole roasted dragon when I come back.” Lewis threatened with a fierce look.

Chromie waved his hands repeatedly and said it was impossible, absolutely impossible. I, Chromie, am an honest person, how could I disappear again?

Louis took a deep look at Chromie, took Catherine’s hand, and stepped into the yellow sand portal.

Chromie whispered softly, it must not disappear again, it must be again…

…

Compared to the suburbs of London, both the sky and the air in Dalaran are better than that there. Especially the air. Even a manor with a beautiful environment can’t cover up the filth in the air, even with magic. So is the world.

“The air is so fresh…” Catherine said softly.

Lewis felt the same way. He looked around and saw that the two of them seemed to have arrived in a bedroom. He didn’t know whose home it was – through the window, he could still see the blue sky.

Looking more closely, the style seems to be that of the Magic Hotel in Dalaran. Lewis walked to the bookcase and picked up a book.

The cover reads “A tear-jerking romance novel…”.

Well, it looks like it’s Marcus’s story – but is there a Marcus legend now? Lewis didn’t know much about the history of Warcraft.

He threw the novel back on the bookshelf as if he was electrocuted. Catherine saw his action and asked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, this novel is a bit…” Louis coughed twice to hide his embarrassment: “We’d better wait a while. After Chromie arrives, we’ll go downstairs to take a look. To be honest – I have never been to Dalaran, so I don’t know what the situation is here, so Chromie still has to wait…”

“Well, it’s up to you.” Catherine agreed with Louis’ words. She picked from the bookshelf and flipped through a book called “Basic Theory and Research of Arcana”, then she found a chair and sat down to read it carefully.

Louis noticed the book’s signature – Kel’Thuzad.

Good guy, it’s a person’s name… ah, no, it’s a celebrity…

Kel’Thuzad, who should now be one of the six members of the Kirin Tor Council, has not yet darkened into the lich in Naxxramas… so it is not unusual to see his writings in Dalaran. matter.

But now he should have started studying spiritualism, right? Louis doesn’t know much either.

“Why isn’t Cromie here yet?” Louis glanced at the watch. It was now four o’clock in the afternoon. Cromie had said that the time ratios on both sides were different. In this case, just wait a little longer.

…

Two hours later.

“What time is it? Can Chromie still come? I’m a little hungry…” Louis muttered in a low voice. Catherine closed the book and looked a little unhappy.

“I suspect…” Catherine looked a little cold: “We were let off by Chromie again!”
