Chapter 61: To Hermione's house
Saturday morning, 36 St. Louisdin Road, Granger's home.
Amylou Granger yelled as she cleaned up the house, "Hermione, it's time to get up!" Aren't your classmates going to come to the house for a moment? You don't want him to see that you haven't gotten up yet! ”
"Oh my God, Mommy, let me sleep a little longer......" Hermione's confused voice came from upstairs, apparently not waking up yet, "I studied until midnight last night. That guy won't come that early. ”
Mrs. Granger smiled at her husband, who was sitting in the reclining chair and reading the newspaper, and whispered, "That guy...... Hey, dear, my daughter has grown up too. I never thought it would be so early. ”
"Alright, don't those idle minds. Girls, you'll always get the boy you like! Pierre-Granger shook his head with a smile and looked at the newspaper in his hand, "But, seriously, the wizard's newspaper is really amazing, the pictures on it will move!" ”
Pierre was holding the Daily Prophet from the owl this morning, with the headline on the front page of the latest developments in Hogwarts - "Shock! What has made tens of millions of wizards worry has finally happened! ”
In the accompanying picture, Cornelius Fudge is waving his arms and giving an amazing speech.
The Daily Prophet is not expensive, requiring only five copper nats per copy. Many wizards have subscribed, and the events of destroying the Dark Lord in the past two days have been stirring up, making various newspapers and magazines make a lot of money.
The Granger couple are not wizards, but they care about their daughter. A little girl enters the wizarding world alone in an unknown danger, and both of them are very scared.
Anyway, according to the newspapers, the Minister of Magic has said that the most dangerous person in the wizarding world has been solved.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger have always believed what their leaders say. So, they all put their minds at ease.
However, this is not their main concern today, but a male classmate of their daughter is coming to the house as a guest. This made them both happy and disappointed.
You know, when the daughter learned that this classmate was coming to visit, her face showed a slight flush, and they immediately keenly realized that things were not so simple.
Alas, has this time finally come? Pierre was simply emotional, and Emily was looking forward to what the person who came would be like. My own daughter, that's very proud! The person who can eat and live with her has never met her since she was a child.
Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, the Granger couple seemed a little nervous, especially Amy Lou Granger, who peeked out the window from time to time, as if to identify the passers-by who were her daughter's classmates.
Pierre thought for a moment and thought it would be better to ask first, "Hermione, how did your classmate Mr. White come to us?" I mean, isn't it some magical way to come over? For example, riding on a broom or suddenly appearing from the fireplace. ”
Apparently, the Granger couple were quick to accept common sense in the wizarding world. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the wizarding world is not completely separated from the Muggle world. In the world of ordinary people, knights or wizards can often appear. It's just that knights are more popular with ordinary people than mysterious wizards.
"Just call him Charlotte!" Hermione immediately corrected, "He should have come in a normal way." I mean, he's also from an ordinary background. Like me, they all belong to Muggle wizards. So, I guess he should have come by car. ”
Just as a few people were talking about Charlotte, a pleasant doorbell rang from the door.
"It's coming!" Hermione stood up and ran towards the door excitedly, completely ignoring the wry smile on the faces of the Grangers. She pulled the door open, and it was Charlotte's bad guy standing outside.
Charlotte was dressed a little formally today, after all, this was the first time he met his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he naturally wanted to make a good impression. He is wearing the latest model of Ama Cool this year, which is sophisticated and mature at the same time, but also youthful.
Now Charlotte is naturally not short of money, and the day after returning home, he went to Tumbledown Alley, disposed of a batch of "remnant" potions, and earned nearly 150,000 gold Galleons. Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds were exchanged at Gringotts to sustain consumption in the Muggle world.
"Hi, beautiful Hermione." Charlotte smiled and waved her hand at the little witch, "Miss me?" ”
Hermione looked at her boyfriend, who was more handsome than before, her face flushed, and then she raised her head in embarrassment, and the tsundere was about to turn back. Charlotte suddenly reached out and pulled her, took her in her arms, glanced at the location in the room, and kissed her fiercely after making sure that she would not be discovered.
Hermione obviously never dreamed that Charlotte would be so bold, and she struggled violently, but after a few unsuccessful attempts, she had to follow his wishes. After the two parted, Hermione snorted and turned to walk back into the room. Charlotte didn't care, and followed along, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger got up from the couch and welcomed the visit of their daughter's classmates. Charlotte politely thanked herself and gave her a nice bottle of wine.
"It's a real pleasure to meet you." Pierre was accommodating and invited Charlotte to sit down, "Little Hermione has always been proud, and we always thought she couldn't make a good friend." Now that we see you, we are much more relieved. At least not worried that she would be bullied if she was alone at the wizarding school. ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Granger." Fighting snakes and sticks is Charlotte's forte, since her parents haven't seen each other, then she doesn't need to be called Mr. Mrs., "With me, I won't let Hermione be bullied at school." ”
Charlotte straightened up and patted her chest. Then he added a sentence in his heart, "Even if it is bullying, it can only be bullied by me." ”
"Moreover, the wizarding world is not as mysterious as ordinary people think. Wizards are also flesh-and-blood people, both good and bad. It's just that wizards have individual superpowers that ordinary people don't have. Charlotte explained the things in the wizarding world to the Grangers, "In fact, the technological level of ordinary people is already very developed, and many things in the wizarding world can be explained with scientific theories. ”
"That's great, little Charlotte!" Amy Lou Granger looked at Charlotte like a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, "Tell us more, for example...... What does your family, your parents do? ”
"Mom!" Hermione complained to her mother with some shame. Mrs. Granger ignored her.
"Of course." Charlotte nodded, "My parents died very young, and I was raised by my godfather. My godfather was Zitra Berg, who worked at an auction house in London. ”
"Is it Zitraberg from Saladin's Auction House?" Pierre Granger asked, somewhat surprised.
Charlotte was also a little surprised, but he nodded anyway.
"Really? That's great! Pierre said with some surprise, "He is my senior in high school, he is a very good person, and we are still in touch." I didn't expect you to be his godson! ”
With this relationship, the Granger couple are more satisfied with Charlotte, and with his witty words, they get along very happily.
In the evening, Charlotte stayed at Hermione's house for a sumptuous dinner. Under his praise, Emily Lou liked him more and more, and kept handing him this and that, and even Hermione, the little girl, was a little jealous.
