Chapter 139 Goodbye
Chapter 139 Goodbye
After teasing James, they decided to write back to Lupin. Everyone knew the financial situation of Lupin's family. As an exchange student, he could save a lot of money on books. But the others must be a little tight. Fortunately, he was in Africa where the cost of living was not high, so they sent him a lot of quills, parchment and other daily necessities.
Newt also received a letter from an "old friend", who was Tina and Quina. Unexpectedly, they also received the news that Newt had reappeared and came to the United States as the leading professor of Hogwarts.
They should be gray-haired women now. He was hesitant whether to tell Peter and the others about this. Logically, this should be a good thing for good friends to meet, but he was worried about Peter. He would be stimulated when he saw them and couldn't help wanting to find a new partner for himself.
So the moment Newt received the letter, he made an obvious hiding move which attracted everyone's attention, coupled with his nervous expression and red ears.
"Look, Newt also received a love letter!" James shouted loudly to watch the fun. He couldn't be the only one being teased. Newt was his lifeline at this moment. He hoped that Peter would stop teasing him about the fact that he once liked Lily Evans.
"No... no, it's not like that." Newt's stuttering made everyone believe it. Sirius seemed to have found a new target. He left Peter, walked around Newt and hooked his neck.
"How come we didn't know that you had an old lover in America, Newt?" Sirius was also very excited. It would be great if Newt could have a girlfriend, so he wouldn't always be following Peter. He suddenly realized that helping Newt find a girlfriend might be the right thing to do.
Newt couldn't hide it anymore, so he took out the letter he had hidden under his butt. "Nothing, I just don't want to make Peter sad, it's from Tina and her sister..." Of course he wouldn't tell anyone about his little thoughts.
"Tina? And Queenie? What about Jacob?" When Alaia heard these two names, she immediately thought of those two excellent and beautiful wizards. Yes, she should be someone's grandmother now, and as for Jacob, as a Muggle, he is likely to have passed away.
Alaia really became depressed just as Newt expected. If it was really as he guessed, it was really a pity. They had just become friends for a short time...
"No...it's not in the letter..." Newt was disgusted with his own stupidity again. He really didn't know how to comfort Peter. He could only shake Sirius off and wanted to hug her and give her a tight hug. "But the good news is that Tina and the others are still alive and well~ They even invited us to visit their home!"
Before Newt could hug Peter, he began to regret why he had revealed this idea in advance. When the other two teenagers heard this, their eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance. He should have quietly told Peter that the two of them should go alone, but now it might be a little difficult...
"Visiting your friends' house? That's cool, what gifts should we bring?" James was already thinking of them eating Muggle burgers and fries on the streets of America.
Sirius hugged Newt, stopping him from hugging Peter. "Yes, Newt, are they from New York? Do we need to find out who they are first?" Sirius and James echoed each other, not giving Newt a chance to refuse.
Alayya was very sure that they were also invited friends. She didn't realize anything was wrong. She subconsciously thought that they were all invited and introduced them to each other without any precautions.
"Tina is a very good Auror from the American Ministry of Magic. She took good care of us and her sister when I traveled back in time. Queenie is also a very good witch. Jacob should be her future boyfriend and may be her husband now..."
Alayya was very excited, as if she really wanted to see the day when her favorite couple came true. It was a pity for Tina and Newt. Newt saw Peter's regretful expression and quickly changed the subject. The scene he least wanted to see still happened.
Peter really cared about it, and his "rivals" didn't give up either -
However, he still had one last measure, which was that he was not qualified to let the two of them follow him out of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as this was not in compliance with the regulations.
But James turned around and found Lionsport and asked him to write a leave note, so this weekend, Newt had to take Peter, his rivals and even Lionsport himself to visit Tina and Queenie's home.
"Why are you following?" Alaiya asked Lionsport in great confusion on the departing carriage. He was dressed brightly and handsomely, wearing the badge of Ilvermorny, sitting by the window. "To protect my nephew's safety, ahem... of course, I am also responsible for the safety of you students..."
Just kidding, he was worried about having to do patrol with his archenemy this weekend, and now he had an excuse not to go, so he came. Besides, he could spend the weekend with his idol, so of course he wouldn't miss it.
"Oh, okay~" Alaia suddenly felt that he was a very responsible person, and she also felt that he might have a crush on Newt, otherwise why would he always pester him to chat?
Newt, who was already irritable, was chased around in circles by Leonce in the carriage. Sirius and James were happily playing Muggle board games with Alaia. It was really interesting, this thing called poker.
In this way, everyone happily arrived at a bakery on the busiest street in New York. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be one of Jacob and Queenie's hard work. Now it is run by their children and grandchildren. Tina is not married and moved here to live with Queenie a long time ago.
Their meeting was very touching, especially Tina, who was even moved to tears. Even though she is now in her twilight years, she is still an old lady who dresses smartly, with a light in her eyes that shines through the traces of time.
"Are you... okay?" Tina looked at her old friends and felt very emotional. She didn't expect that they were still so young, but they were already old.
Peter felt very guilty, wondering if it was because of his matchmaking that she remained single till now. But when she saw a photo of a young man in her room, she felt relieved. It seemed that after Newt disappeared, she must have met someone too amazing, but they just didn't end up together.
Queenie pointed to the photos on the wall and explained to them what happened to her and Jacob later on, with a smile and kindness on her face, and she was thankful that they had not experienced such a dark time.
Newt also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Peter did not mention matchmaking. It would be impossible for them!
