Chapter 913: Pride and Prejudice
After talking about business and Alan and they chatted for a while, the food that had taken shape in the tower had made the place full of aromas, and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and then there were a few more people in the tower, Albert Daisy and they returned, and Hermione also teleported from Hogwarts with Helena and Emily.
Once inside the tower, Helena let go of the hand holding Hermione's arm and curtsied Hermione in thanks, Emily's face was a little ugly, because she had eaten too many snacks before coming back, and she was a little dizzy and looked a little sluggish after being visible by Hermione's entourage.
Helena saluted quietly to Owen and Allen, and Morgan Lefay, who had already set the dishes and forks, was very happy to see her granddaughter, and she pulled her over and pointed to the dining table: "Those plates with metal trim are the ones that accentuate the taste." ”
"Thank you grandma. Helena looked at the food on the plate and knew that it was specially prepared for her by her grandmother, but she had not yet regained the habit of eating, and after the novelty of tasting the taste of things had passed, eating was a more troublesome thing, and in order to maintain grace and decency, she had to run to the toilet after swallowing it to re-deform herself and let them fall out.
This dinner in the evening was very pleasant, with huge and ornate tables filled with sumptuous dishes, with everyone in front of them with their favorite food.
Owen kept forking the two dishes in front of him, the beef kidneys pie and the raw pork minced hedgehog, "Morgan Lefay, these two dishes are really well done." ”
'It's Penelope's doing, she's very talented in it, she'll teach it. Morgan Lefay praised.
"It was you and Miss Hufflepuff who taught you well. Penelope straightened her back with a smile on her face, and she couldn't help but look at Luna and Hermione a little smugly, and when she saw that they seemed unmoved, she decided to take the initiative.
"Luna, I should have made your portion of the chin exactly according to Ms. Hufflepuff's recipe. Penelope set his sights on Luna first.
"Heng Hao stab. Luna was a little unruly and made a sound when she ate something in her mouth, and Daisy, who was considered a master of the Harris family in terms of incivility, also chewed something in her mouth, which made Fleur on the side frown, but she had now completely given up correcting Daisy's unladylike behavior.
Penelope realized that she had found the wrong opponent from the plate that the other party had eaten half of before she explained, but she coughed lightly in embarrassment, and pointed to the plate of Yorkshire pudding in front of Hermione, "Hermione, I deliberately didn't put a little sugar in this Yorkshire pudding in front of you, but I tried my best to use a replacement to mix the sauce, you can taste it." ”
The plate was not a pudding for sweets, but more like a kind of bread, in the shape of a coffee coffee cup, with a hollow and fluffy center and a crispy crust, and a plate topped with some roast beef sprinkled with sauce and boiled carrot pieces.
Hermione took a deep breath after listening to Penelope's words, her lips pursed, she knew that Penelope seemed to be enthusiastically introduced, but in fact, it was to show off her skill-being able to make Yorkshire pudding taste good without sugar, which is a very clever cooking, and Penelope was actually mocking her poor craftsmanship, after all, this was Harris's family party, and Penelope was not easy to show her usual meanness directly in front of so many people.
"Thank you, Penelope, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome, I just don't like to eat sugar directly, but I don't have any special requirements for the dish itself. Hermione maintained her politeness and apologized to Penelope, she remembered that the other party had sent someone to protect her parents, and even felt some pity for this girl, because she was a little addicted to black magic, her brain was a little confused compared to when she first met, and she always couldn't grasp the point, or said that she thought it was the point...
The men of Harris had learned not to interfere in these areas, and Albert and the others were keen to talk about Quidditch, and Emily, who had not yet had much appetite for the dizziness, poked Daisy beside her and nodded to her sister in tacit understanding.
Daisy was very aggressive, but as a Ravenclaw, she realized before she entered school that if she showed talent in cooking with her mother's professors, she would only be rewarded for cooking more in the days to come—Daisy, as the eldest sister, had not been so much when Emily was a child. 'smart' age, reminded her of this, so Harris's two sisters did not inherit their mother's talent for cooking at all, on the contrary, Albert, as the eldest brother, sometimes helped take care of his younger siblings, and only learned a few hands, but he really didn't have any talent...
After everyone had enjoyed a good meal, Maggie appeared and just commanded the cups, plates, knives and forks to fly into the sink, and Kreacher couldn't help but show himself in front of the other wizards, he still glanced at the people around him with some apprehension, and found that no one had any sense of blame for his appearance, so he quickly snatched control of Maggie under the faucet and let the plate rotate in the direction of automatic flushing.
Luna finished eating and went downstairs to walk in the Arcane Garden, and Alan called Hermione and Penelope to the other side, and he had to tell them about the mystery man's question this time, so that they could be prepared.
At this time, Daisy just wiped her mouth, and then she couldn't wait to kick off her shoes and jump onto the sofa, commanding a blanket to cover herself, she turned on the TV, and the jumping music sounded in the room, and she also patted the armrest of the sofa and shouted: "Mom, Emily is coming, it's about to start, the last end trailer said that Mr. Darcy would propose to Elizabeth in this episode." I wonder if Elizabeth will agree?"
"Daisy, I still have homework to write, I'll go upstairs to the library first. Emily had no interest in this kind of Muggle film and television series, so she quickly waved her hand and went upstairs.
"I actually like The Secret Garden more than Pride and Prejudice, and Mrs. Medlock in it looks a little bit like your Transfiguration professor. Fleur sat on the other side of the couch with a cup of hot tea in her hand, glanced at Daisy, who was screaming, and turned her attention to the TV.
In fact, this is a rare time when Fleur and Daisy can get along more peacefully.
"Helena, sit down on my side. Morgan Lefay noticed that Helena seemed to be a little idle beside her, and hurriedly greeted her granddaughter, after Helena regained some of the freshness of her senses similar to that of a living person, and returned to Hogwarts to 'work' to maintain her ghostly form for a long time, Morgan Lefay felt that these Muggle TV series were very emotionally stimulating and provoking people's emotions, and Helena should be allowed to watch more.
Helena was not interested in watching television, but she still obeyed her grandmother's orders, so she sat down next to Morgan Lefay.
"This female Muggle, Elizabeth, was the second lady of the Bennett family, lively, intelligent, witty, and extremely assertive in many matters and not subservient to the whims of the world. The male protagonist is a large landowner in Derbyshire, England, he is a good friend of Mr. Bingley, handsome in appearance, introverted but not good at getting along with people, so it often causes strangers to misunderstand, thinking that he is cold and arrogant, which causes a lot of criticism...... "Morgan Lefay patiently explained to his granddaughter, and made himself more and more interested.
Helena listened to her grandmother's description and wondered why the Muggles' love lives were of interest to them, but she sat down in response to Morgan Lefay's enthusiasm.
"Morgan Lefay is already obsessed with watching this TV series. Owen shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't understand their obsession with this kind of TV series, he glanced at the portrait in the living room, he couldn't help but Helga Hufflepuff, even the Hufflepuff apprentice Bonnie, who rarely appeared, and Judith, a Muggle girl who could be considered Merlin's stepsister or adoptive mother, also ran over to watch TV, and looked at a magazine with some helplessness.
Albert and Lunn looked at each other and found this kind of Muggle love life TV show very boring, but they had learned not to try to fight for control of the TV at such times.
