Chapter 148 – Meeting Again
Sitting in the pub was kind of weird. It felt like I could understand the words around me, but in reality, I did not. I could have used magic to autotranslate their words, but who says if they don't get angered by it? For now, we weren't here to cause trouble.
"So..." I scratched my throat, turning towards Quincy, who was still red in the face, troubled by what had happened, failing to realize it was all an illusion.
"Don't even bring it up." She grumbled, pushing the words through gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay, my lips are sealed!"
"What?" Lockhart mumbled, looking at us, finally realizing the 'issue' we were having. "Oh, yes, most of these places are enchanted by magic. Touching also dispels it for real, so that's why it is forbidden in here."
"..."
"I think," I whispered, knowing Quincy was hearing it just fine, "it is best if we skip the topic, Professor."
"Oh... Yes. So... we wait, huh?"
"Yep." I leaned back, quickly getting bored, glancing at Grindelwald, who was looking ahead, his gaze unfocused, probably immersed in some kind of thoughts that only he could understand. Haah...
We were like a group of angry couples. A gathering of misery-filled companions who had a big fight just before coming in, and now everyone was angry at the other, not wanting to start the argument again, so we just sat there... in silence. Merlin, please help me! Well, he maybe heard what I was thinking about because when the door to the pub opened, I did not want to believe my eyes.
"No way..." I whispered, making Quincy turn her head, repeating my words, followed by Lockhart's hushed voice.
