Chapter 280 Uncle
The door of the bar was pushed open again, and a young man in a slim gown walked in.
Aberforth just took a look and knew that the clothes on this man must be worth a lot of money.
Although he has never eaten pork, Aberforth has actually seen pigs run.
This outfit was much better than that of Lucius who came to him to beg for mercy.
And that person's appearance is also quite outstanding.The most striking thing is the rose red hair.It's not like the fiery red of the Wesley family, but a delicate red, like the color of a red rose waiting to bloom.
With a faint smile on the young man's face, he looked refined and gentle.
He looked at the bar in front of him with curious eyes.The decoration of the Pig's Head Bar is simple, even crude, but in this person's eyes, there is no trace of dislike.Instead, with a hint of appreciation.
"A place with a historical charm is different."
He said with some emotion.
Aberforth stared at him for a moment, then asked, "If you're looking for someone, he's on the second floor."
After finishing speaking, Aberforth ignored the man in front of him and wiped the glass on his own.
However, from his suspicious eyes, it can still be seen that his mood is definitely not as calm as he said.
The man didn't care about Aberforth's attitude, and said enthusiastically, "Thank you boss."
After speaking, he walked towards the stairs on the second floor.
And behind him, Aberforth looked at the Peugeot on his cuff, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Wait until the figure of that person disappears from sight.Aberforth asked himself with a confused face: "The Ross family? How did they get involved with Luke Gunter?"
The cloth in his hand wiped and wiped the inside and outside sides of the cup, from dirty to clean, until it was too clean.Aberforth stopped at last.First, a line of words appeared on the rag.
"Luke and the Ross family met, and the relationship may be very close."
Afterwards, Aberforth threw the rag in his hand upwards, and the rag turned into an owl with uneven distribution of black, white and gray in an instant.
The owl flapped its wings and flew out of the window that Aberforth opened remotely.It can still be seen from a distance that the owl is flying in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.
Although Aberforth has always been silent.But his strength is still quite good. Leaving aside perverts like Dumbledore, his strength can still be regarded as upstream.
One hand is not so simple transformation technique, but it can still be done.
However, his doubts were still not resolved.Why did the Ross family suddenly come to meet Luke?
Suddenly, he frowned...
If you think about it this way, it is indeed possible.
And upstairs, Luke, who was sipping rice wine and beer, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard the footsteps coming from his ears.
And when that rosy red hair appeared, Luke took a deep breath.
The young man walked up to the second floor, and saw Luke sitting on a chair with a solemn expression, like a little adult. .... The smile on his face disappeared little by little.His face didn't become ugly, it just became very sentimental.
"You and Keisha... really look alike."
When these words came out, the young man's tone was filled with indescribable bitterness and longing.
Luke looked at the young man in front of him who looked similar to himself, even more similar to the mother's face he saw in his dream at that time, and couldn't help but twitched in his heart.
He knew he had never been truly unaccompanied.After all, he still has relatives living in the world.He was indeed the only one left in the Gaunt family.But his mother, Keisha Gunter, was named Keisha Rose before marrying into the Gunter family.
The Ross family of France, an ancient and low-key family.It is rarely seen in the French wizarding world, but in the legends of the French wizarding world.This family is rich in handsome men and beautiful women.And has a special magic inheritance.
But these are just legends, especially in these years, it is said that after the Ross family changed its head, there was almost no news from them.If it wasn't for Rose Manor's auction of the top-notch 'Flower Man Tian' perfume every month, I'm afraid everyone wondered if the Rose family had some accidents that made them extinct.
In the same way, Luke has not received any information other than receiving a postcard from his grandfather every year during these years.But my grandfather said many times in the postcard that if it is really necessary, then tell him, and he will send someone to help Luke.
So, there is today's release.
"You are, Uncle William?"
Luke looked at the young man in front of him, and asked with a slightly complicated expression.
One must know that the young man in front of him and the old man whose whereabouts are unknown are the only two people in the world who have a blood relationship with him.
When he heard Luke call out his name, William Rose's eyes lit up: "Sister mentioned me to you?"
His eyes were full of hope, hoping to get an affirmative answer from Luke.
But unfortunately...
"Sorry, mom never told me anything about the Ross family, she just told me before leaving that she would keep Grandpa in touch with me."
Luke isn't against cheating.But he didn't want to lie to those around him.Even if it's a white lie.Even knowing that no one wants to hear the hurtful truth.
William Rose's eyes dimmed a little, and he smiled bitterly, and he regained his gentle expression.Then he walked in the direction of Luke.
Sitting on the chair, William Rose looked at Luke's face, observing his facial features bit by bit, but there was some nostalgia in his gentle eyes.Although it made Luke feel a little awkward, he didn't reject it after all.
"Yes, I am William Rose. Keisha Rose's younger brother, your uncle."
As soon as these words came out, even Luke's heart couldn't help being a little moved.
People need a sense of belonging in this world.The blood bond is often an important factor in determining the strength of a person's sense of belonging. ... On this point, Luke has never been able to make up for it now.
However, Luke's expression quickly subsided.He admits that he is very happy that he has a relative, but this does not mean that he will trust this uncle without thinking.Or put forward some unreasonable demands on this uncle.
He believes that blood is the bond between people.But he never believed that this bond would be strong enough to be very strong.
"uncle."
But even so, Luke yelled with a smile on his face.The joy in his voice couldn't be hidden after all.
When William heard this word, his expression also fluctuated.The eyes are quite complicated.Finally reached out, touched Luke's head and said, "Well, I'm here."
Looking at the uncle with an obviously strange expression in front of him, as if he was remembering something, Luke asked with a smile: "Uncle, can you tell me something about your mother?"
William has already heard something about his little nephew's experience from his father.I also know that Keisha left his younger brother early, and even her son early.
Now, two people with the same illness are going to sit together to discuss this woman who can be said to occupy a very important position in their lives.The expression is more or less a little disappointed.
"My relationship with your mother is very good. After all, there are only two brothers and sisters in our family. My mother passed away early, Keisha, the one who took care of me since childhood..."
"My body was relatively weak since I was a child, but I was very naughty. My father was busy with various things at the time. He could only leave me to my sister. It can be said that we have been dependent on each other since we were young. The family must not be poor. But relatively speaking, money doesn’t mean much to the two of us. Our material life needs are indeed met. But emotionally, we only have each other.”
"Later, when I grew up, the relationship between my sister and my father became a little tense for some reason. I was worried that the two would eventually fall out because of the accumulation of some small things. So I would mediate in it every time."
Speaking of this, even though many years have passed, William's face still showed bitterness involuntarily.
"Unfortunately, these are useless efforts. My father wanted to marry my sister to a certain nobleman in the French wizarding world. My sister would rather die than agree. And she disappeared for three years."
"She said goodbye to me the night before she disappeared. Tell me..."
"Sorry……"
"I didn't know what she was sorry for at the time. Although it was very sad, I could still understand my sister's behavior. She was unwilling to accept her father's control. Of course, she also knew very well that her father was not harming her."
"After my sister left, my father also changed a lot. Gradually, he left all the family affairs to me, and he disappeared, and I don't know where he went."
One of the two listened and the other spoke, and both felt more and more wrong.
"That's right, all the things in the family were piled on me. At that time, I was only 15 years old, and I was still in school at Beauxbatons."... The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and felt that the feeling of sympathy in each other was even stronger. It's heavy.
"However... three years later, my sister came back. Beside... bring your father."
"Father also came back after learning about my sister. I thought he would have a big fight with my sister, and I didn't like the relationship between your father and your mother. But...he didn't stop, even Intentionally promote."
"However, we only met that side. I had a drink with your father. Your father did not tell me his identity. But I can feel that he is definitely not a wizard of ordinary origin. And that night, When my sister came to pick up your father... she said sorry to me again."
"After that, they disappeared again. After that, there was no news for more than ten years. I asked many times about their residence, but unfortunately I didn't find any clues. I also asked my father, but my father refused to say anything Occasionally, I would receive postcards from my sister, and I treasured them all."
"And one of the postcards is a picture of you when you were a child."
The corner of Luke's mouth froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and he soon returned to normal.
"And on the last postcard, she just wrote me a sentence."
"sorry."
"My father told me that my sister is dead. Your father is also dead."
William stopped, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.After letting out a foul breath, he looked at Luke and said seriously: "It took me quite a while to accept this reality."
"And after accepting this reality, I wanted to find you immediately. You are the last thing she left in this world. And you are only a child. It is wrong to leave you like this."
"But my father stopped me. I don't know why, he just said it was my sister's request."
"I immersed myself in work and entertainment, making myself too busy to numb myself. During that time, I didn't give up looking for you. It's just a pity that, just like back then, I couldn't get any news."
"As for my sister... I think about her a lot. Even though I'm used to not having her."
William fell silent.Obviously, he is not as used to it as he said.Even after so many years, he still has a deep affection for his sister.
No matter how lightly the mouth says, a person's heartfelt reaction will not lie.
Luke looked at the blue-to-black cloud of emotional dust around William.Understand that his mood at the moment is melancholy to sad.
On the contrary, Luke himself was fine.The memory of his mother was tender and caring, but Luke was too young when they left.Up to now, I have been able to truly look at this matter with a normal heart.
Of course, the dream in the United States also played a huge role.
After a moment of silence, William continued to speak.This time, he looked at Luke.
"I didn't think you would be the descendant of the Gaunt family at first. Until I saw your photo in the newspaper. You and your sister are so similar."
"Your eyes and hair color are the same as your father's. But your features are like your mother's."
"It was also at that time that I understood why my father didn't object to my sister's marriage with your father. Because the Gunter family is enough to match us."
Luke thought to himself that he and Harry were really the opposite.Harry only has eyes like his mother, and his appearance is almost a mold of his father.
On the other hand, he only has eyes and hair like his father, and his facial features are like his mother's.
William did not stop, but continued.
"Although I don't know why you disappeared, but there are always some inhumane reasons, so I won't ask."
"So, Luke, is there anything you want to tell me about calling me out this time?".
I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
