HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter 43 The Secret That Can't Be Said

The Louvre, since it was Monday, there were not many people in the museum.Most of the travelers from all over the world travel in groups.The few people who acted alone wandered here and there.

After reading several books and maps collected by the Louvre Museum, Ann knew the stories and locations of most of the collections in the Louvre Museum.So I took Fanny leisurely along the route of some interesting collections.

"Look at this stone, don't look at the blackness of this stone, it is the code of Hammurabi, it has been more than 3700 years ago, and it was made by a king of Babylon, one of the four famous ancient countries..." Ann slowly told Fanny the story of the Code of Hammurabi in English.

Fanny listened carefully. Ann's stories were often interesting and reasonable, which made Fanny feel that she could learn a lot.The two are often noticed by some passing tourists, because the two children leisurely visiting the museum in English are indeed very eye-catching.

"So, what makes the written law better than the unwritten law is that..." Ann was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Oh my god, Merlin is here, Fanny!? Ann!?" With an exclamation, a person rushed towards Ann quickly. Ann didn't react, and was hugged firmly.

Immediately Fanny also exclaimed, "Merlin! Hermione? Why are you here!"

It was Hermione who hadn't seen her for more than two months hugging Ann.Hermione let go of Ann with a surprised tone, "I still want to ask why you are here! Paris, France!?"

Two adults trotted over from behind Hermione, they were the Grangers whom Ann had met once in Diagon Alley.

Hermione began to introduce the two sides, "This is my parents. I came to France with them on vacation. Dad, Mom, this is my friend from school, Anstock, you met last time in Diagon Alley , this is Fanny Charles."

Ann and Fanny hurriedly greeted each other, and the Grangers replied with smiles.Then Ann and Fanny briefly explained why they were in Paris, France.

"Wow, Ann, you're staying in Paris all summer? You still have an aunt?" Hermione asked in surprise.

Ann had no choice but to explain briefly, but Hermione still exclaimed again and again. Finally, under Fanny's kind reminder, the Hermione family walked with Ann and Fanny, and Ann took everyone to visit the Louvre.

Fanny's original words were, "Andy has been in Paris for more than two months. She played with me for two days. She is a super tour guide. Since you are here for vacation, you must not be familiar with this place. Follow Ann!" Fanny then told Hermione about Ann's arrangements for her today.

Naturally, Hermione's suggestion of having An Lai as a tour guide was affirmed.So, Ann began to work hard as a tour guide.

At lunch time, five people chatted together by the window in a cloister cafe on the Marxist-Leninist Square.Outside the window is the sunny Louvre Square, the Pei Ming Pyramid is shining in the sun, and many tourists are sitting and resting in the fountain in front of the glass pyramid.

Fanny looked out of the window and said to Ann, "Ann, the location of the store you chose is really good, and you can just see the entire Pyramid of Pei."

"I also liked the stories you told about the collections in the Louvre," said Hermione.The Grangers agreed, of course they were delighted that Hermione could meet her classmates in Paris.

An touched her nose and said with a smile, "Fanny, you exaggerated me just now, in fact, I just read a few more introduction books on the collection of the Louvre, and I made some preparations last night. I have tasted some of the dishes here and think they taste good, I recommend them to you to try." An took the menu handed over by the waiter and began to introduce the dishes to several people with great interest.

Hermione and Fanny looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

After eating, running and drinking, Fanny began to encourage Hermione to go out with Ann in the afternoon. She promised Hermione and his wife that they would send Hermione back to the hotel around 9:[-] p.m., and she also gave Ann's aunt's address and phone number. .

The Grangers happily agreed. Their original plan was to go shopping on the Champs Elysees in the afternoon. Hermione's absence would not have a big impact. After all, what happened to Hermione and her friends in France was a blessing. things.

When Ann heard that Fanny had told Hermione and her parents the address and phone number of Dinah's home, Ann instantly felt that Fanny was a real bad friend.God, she can imagine receiving thick letters at home during the summer vacation, oh, maybe a phone call in a few days.

In the afternoon, after slowly visiting the Louvre, it was 45:7.Ann asked Fanny and Hermione, "Okay, our next journey is to take a tour around the Seine River. We have two options, one is to go to the front to rent a bicycle and slowly tour along the river; the other option is Take a boat tour. The final result of the two options is the same.” Ann pointed to a subway station not far ahead, “If you use a bicycle, we will take the No. [-] subway line back, and if you take a boat, we will take the No. [-] line Go back. Do you choose?"

Immediately Fanny replied, "Bicycle! I can ride it, and it sounds like fun!"

Ann noticed that Hermione's face was flushed. It seemed that a certain school master was a bad athlete. He was not very good at Quidditch, and he couldn't ride a bicycle.Anyway, they all came out to play, and An didn't want to spoil the fun.

She walked over and took Hermione's hand and walked towards the bicycle rental shop, and said encouragingly, "This route is indeed a good cycling route, I can take you, don't worry, I won't let you fall, I My cycling skills are good. I have often ridden to class in the past two months."

"Lesson?" Hermione was clearly interested in Ann's last word.Fanny exclaimed from the side, "Ann? When are you going to have class again? Why didn't I know? You're hiding it from me again!"

"..." Accidentally slipped the tongue, An embarrassedly laughed twice, "Ahem, I didn't hide it from you, it's just not a long time ago, I'm learning piano and guitar recently..."

"Why do you learn that? My grandma also forced me to learn piano. Piano is boring..." Fanny said with a curl of her lips.

"Just a simple little interest! Ah, here we are."

The three of them arrived in front of a small shop facing the street. There were many bicycles in front of the shop, and a yellow nameplate was hung on the front of the bicycle, with the number in Roman numerals written on it.

Ann walked into the store, communicated in simple French for a while, paid the money and took two keys out.Ann had shown her French in the restaurant so that Hermione wasn't surprised now.Fanny had also learned French, but she could only make simple conversations.Ann has lived in a French environment for more than two months, and with her photographic memory, some practical life conversations are no longer a big problem.

An stepped on a light blue bicycle, turned to Hermione and motioned for her to sit on the back seat, and Hermione sat sideways.Ann reminded, "Have you sat down? Hold me, it will be much more stable." Hermione stretched her arms around Ann's waist, and her arms could feel the rise and fall of Ann's abdomen when she spoke.

After Hermione sat down, Ann turned to look at Fanny and said, "Fanny, you can follow me later, you can ride side by side with me when you go straight, but follow me when you turn, okay?"

Fanny nodded her assent.Ann rode a bicycle and drove forward. They rode for a while all afternoon, and occasionally got out of the car to walk and talk along the beautiful scenery of the Seine River, buy some drinks, sit on the bench and watch the boats on the Seine River, and guess what they were sitting on. Which country did the people on the boat come from? They rode the bridge across the river. Ann told them when the bridge was built. They rode along the opposite bank of the river, circled the Seine River, and rode back to the rental car from another bridge. location.

Ann raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 32:[-] in the afternoon.After keeping the car in order, Ann led the two of them towards the subway station.It was already seven o'clock when I took the subway back to Dinah's house.

Ann pointed to a small white building about 150 meters across the road, and explained to Hermione, "That's my Aunt Dinah's house, but we won't be eating at home tonight, I invite you to eat delicious food."

An led the two of them to a small shop on the side of the street. The door of the shop was a green semi-old iron door with four pieces of transparent glass.Ann pushed the door open and went in. The door touched the bell hanging on the door frame, and the crisp copper bell rang.

The store is not very big, it can only seat about 30 to 40 people, and there is a piano in the middle of the store, which takes up a lot of space in the store.The lighting and environment of the entire restaurant are dominated by light and warm tones. There are also four retro kerosene lamps placed in the four corners of the store, and the lights are dim.There is a half-wall of transparent glass in the restaurant. The sunlight outside the store has dimmed. The sun has not completely set. The sunset light enters the restaurant through the glass window, making the atmosphere of the restaurant even warmer, but the restaurant is not hot at all. , There are many exhaust fans installed on the walls around the restaurant.There were not many people in the restaurant, only two tables were seated.

"Welcome (French)" An older man in a suit and tie turned around with a white napkin in his hand.Seeing Ann, he laughed and said in English, "Ann, are you here? It's really rare today, did you bring friends?"

Ann introduced with a smile, "Mr. Vegas, these two are my friends, Hermione Granger and Fanny Charles."

Vegas nodded to Fanny and Hermione, "Welcome, two lovely ladies, I think you can sit here." He walked to a table for four in a store, pulled the chairs away, and began to arrange tableware.

Ann took the bewildered two to the chairs, and Vegas handed the three of them a menu.Ann took the menu, but didn't open it. She put the menu aside and asked the two of them, "Fanny, Hermione, you can order whatever you want. The craftsmanship in the Vegas store is absolutely guaranteed."

Vegas replied with a smile, "Haha, I can't stand you boasting like that, but the two lovely ladies can eat whatever they want."

Hermione didn't look at the menu in her hand, she asked Ann curiously, "Ann, haven't you only been in France for two months?"

Fanny opened the menu, and looked at Ann curiously when she heard Hermione's question, and glanced back and forth between Ann and Vegas.

Ann glanced at Vegas who turned around to put an extra set of tableware and said with a chuckle, "Aha, Mr. Vegas is the owner of this shop. I passed by this shop once in a while and came in for dinner. Everything is delicious. I just come here often.”

Sure enough, it was because of the food.Hermione and Fanny exchanged glances and began to look at the menu in their hands.

When Vegas came back from putting away the tableware, he smiled cheerfully, "Two lovely ladies, my acquaintance with Ann is not as modest as what Ann said. Let me tell you that Ann is my teacher."

Hermione and Fanny looked up at Vegas in surprise.

"Ann is sort of my piano teacher..."

Ann muttered, "Don't talk nonsense, where is the teacher, I just pointed out a few small mistakes in your playing."

Vegas said frankly, "Yeah, but for a novice like me, that's a big improvement..."

Fanny and Hermione stared at Vegas with interest, hoping he would talk things through.Since there were not many people in the store, Vegas took advantage of the opportunity to pull over the stool and sat down.

An hurriedly stopped Vegas and said, "Wait, Vegas, you still have to do business."

Vegas smiled gently and said, "I didn't open this store for business. Wouldn't it be better to tell a story to two lovely ladies?"

Ann curled her lips. Vegas, an uncle on the outside, is a talker on the inside. She remembered the last time he accidentally pointed out a mistake in his playing. He was very happy to chat with her for almost two hours.

Both Fanny and Hermione put down the menus in their hands, obviously they were more interested in the Vegas story.Seeing how excited the two were, Ann quickly interjected, "Vegas, you'd better make a long story short, I'm hungry..."

Vegas smiled and nodded, and began to talk about how he taught himself to play the piano for about a year, how he met Ann who came to eat in the store for several days in a row. A story of people becoming friends.

After Vegas finished telling the story, Chaoan said gratefully, "I always felt that the melody in that place was different from what I had heard before, but I didn't know why, so I kept practicing. What An said made me suddenly realize .”

"That mistake is a common mistake for novices..." Anshun finished speaking, and added, "I happened to make that mistake a few days ago, so it was easy to hear it."

Vegas said puzzledly, "Ann, although I only learned the piano for one year, I have heard a lot of piano pieces. Your piano..."

"Ahem, well, I've finished listening to your story. Can I order food, I'm so hungry..." Ann interrupted Vegas and rubbed his stomach.She regretted it in her heart, she knew that she shouldn't have acted on a whim, thinking that Vegas was a stranger, and talked to him so much.

Vegas sensed Ann's thoughts, he shut his mouth in time and smiled and said, "Yeah, it's dinner time, I think it's time to eat."

Both Hermione and Fanny glanced at Ann, nodded, and began to look at the menu.Under the introduction of Ann and Vegas, the two quickly ordered the dishes, and Ann added a lot of special dishes on the basis of what they ordered.

Vegas memorized the name of the dish, turned around and went to the back kitchen.

As soon as Vegas left, Fanny happily said to Ann, "Ann, I haven't seen you play the piano yet, do you want to show it?"

"No," Ann refused coldly.

"But it's still a while before the food is served!" Hermione was also curious about Ann's ability to play the piano.

Fanny continued, "Besides, Hermione and I are leaving Paris tomorrow, and we will meet in London next time. There won't be such a good atmosphere anymore!"

Hermione saw that Mr. Vegas had come from the back kitchen, and she said boldly, "I think Mr. Vegas would be happy to hear you play a piece."

"Ann, are you going to play a piece of music? Great, I would like to ask you to play a piece on stage." Vegas heard the conversation between the three and took up the topic. At this time, there was no one in the restaurant.

An sat down in front of the piano, opened the cover of the piano, and glanced at the three people sitting not far away, her mind went blank for a moment.

Well, play one piece at a time, but what do I play?A piece of music floated to his mind, and his hands followed his heart. An began to play, and the speed of playing became faster and faster, until the last syllable fell.An was in a daze for a while, this song...

When the applause sounded, Ann got up and closed the piano cover.

Ann sat on the chair, and Vegas asked first, "Ann, what piece is this? I've heard so many piano pieces, but I've never heard this one?"

After a pause, Ann slowly said, "Secret."

The three of them stared wide-eyed.Ann glanced at the three of them, staring at the piano with erratic eyes, "The name of this piece is the secret. This piece was made by an oriental musician, and it comes from a story."

"What story?" asked Fanny hastily, as soon as she heard the story.

The plot of the movie kept rolling in Ann's mind, and Ann said unhurriedly, "The name of this story is The Unspeakable Secret. There was a boy who was a very talented musical boy, but his father often told him He said a word, to be an ordinary person. In high school, he entered a music academy, where he met a mysterious girl. They met in an old piano room in the school. The boy listened to a song in the old piano room. Music that he had never heard before, he opened the door and walked in, and a girl was playing the piano. The girl is also a very talented person at the piano, the boy asked the girl the name of the piece she heard just now, the girl smiled and replied that this is something that cannot be said secret…"

"One day after school, it suddenly rained. The boy and the girl met again under the eaves sheltering from the rain. The boy drove the girl home by bicycle. They knew each other's name that day..."

“…Boys and girls occasionally play the piano together, they tell each other about their favorite pianist, supervise each other’s piano practice, go home together, and take a walk by the seaside…”

"The boy went to the piano game to surprise the girl, and he played Chopin's black key etude... He finally won the competition and got a rare swan score..."

"..boy and girl are in love..."

"...the boy and the girl played four-hands in the piano room. After the end, the boy and the girl said that the old piano room would be demolished on the day of the graduation ceremony... The girl asked the boy if he wanted to learn the piece she played when they first met, The boy was very happy, the girl played the piece quickly, and asked the boy not to play the piece in the old piano room, the boy asked why, the girl replied because the old piano didn't sound good..."

"...On that day, the boy and the girl agreed to play a song he made for the girl at the graduation ceremony..."

"...but the girl is sick...they haven't seen each other for a while...the boy feels that the girl has more and more secrets..."

"On the day of the graduation ceremony, the boy met the girl, but the girl disappeared again. The disappointed, sad and confused boy returned home and heard his father tell himself a story about a girl who was extremely gifted when he was teaching. A dead story. The father brought the boy the sheet music that the girl gave him..."

"The front page of the music score reads: Follow this music score to embark on a journey, and the person who sees you at first sight is doomed; follow this rhythm to start this incredible journey, and the loop is hidden in this rapid rhythm. The boy understands the girl What's the secret that can't be told..."

Ann finished the story slowly while eating. She took a sip of the soup, wiped her mouth with a corner of the napkin at last, looked at the three of them and said, "The story is over..."

The three people listening to the story didn't speak for a while.

Ann glanced at her watch, it was twenty-five past eight.As Ann ate and talked, she was the last to finish. Ann looked at Vegas, "Mr. Vegas, check out, this meal is also very delicious. It's getting late, I have to send my two friends go home."

Vegas smiled, and he said with emotion, "If you can have a nice piece of music with an attractive and magical story, this meal will be treated as if I have listened to the story and the piece of music, please, don't refuse, okay? Ann. "

Ann said helplessly, "Well, as you wish, thank you for the delicious food." Hermione and Fanny also thanked.

Pushing the door open to let Hermione and Fanny go out first, Ann finally waved to Vegas and went out.Walking slowly on the street, it was already dark, and the street lamps illuminated the pedestrians on the road.

Ann's aunt Dinah hadn't come home yet, so the three of them waited for the car at the door without entering the house.Not long after, a black car stopped in front of the three of them.

"Ann, how did you know this story and the tune?" Hermione asked before getting into the car.

"This is a secret that cannot be told." An said with a smile, and waved to the two people in the car, "Remember to call me when you get to the hotel!"

The author has something to say:
