CP28 The new neighbors of the Granger family
"Hey, Dr. Chu, good morning~. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Good morning, Madame Granger, it looks like the weather should be nice today."
In a community in the southern suburbs of London, the early morning sun lit up the sky, and the moisture that had filled the air after several days of rain finally dissipated some, while enjoying a rare dry feeling, Chu Xiaobai said hello to his neighbor who was drying clothes in the yard.
This is the plane of "Harry Potter", and as of today, Chu Xiaobai has been here for almost a month.
Since he has chosen this plane, of course, he can't miss those strange but mysterious and interesting magic, he can't help but have a long experience at Hogwarts, and considering that he does not necessarily have the quality to learn magic, and considering that everything in the wizarding world will not be displayed in front of Muggles, Chu Xiaobai made a plan early.
Either you have a good relationship with Harry Potter and get in touch with the wizarding world through him, or choose Hermione Granger. In the original book, it is clearly pointed out that there are not many children who were born in Muggle families and have been living in the ordinary world before entering school, and the only ones who are impressed and easy to reach are Hermione Granger and Harry Potter.
Chu Xiaobai chose Hermione Granger.
For one, Harry Potter was living in Dursley's house, and the family was not very easy to get along with. From their attitude towards Harry alone, it can be seen that they have a dislike for the wizarding world, and if Chu Xiaobai comes to the door to express that he wants to get in touch with Harry Potter more, it is very likely that he will be regarded as a 'freak' like Harry by the Dursleys.
The Granger family is much easier to get into. Both husband and wife are Muggles, but they are very supportive of their daughter's study of magic, which shows that the Granger family is still very gentle towards the wizarding world.
Second, Harry Potter is the focus of 'everyone'. If Chu Xiaobai suddenly appeared beside him, perhaps it might arouse the suspicion and vigilance of others. For example, Dumbledore, he will inevitably investigate everyone around Harry, and Chu Xiaobai doesn't want to be targeted by him.
Relatively speaking, it was much easier to stay with Hermione. No one in the wizarding world would pay attention to a Muggle family, nor would they deliberately pay attention to the relationships of a Muggle-born wizard.
Third, it's because it's easier to find.
Chu Xiaobai remembered that Harry Potter's Dursley's house and Hermione Granger's home were indeed in London, but he didn't know where the two families lived.
The best way to ask for help is to ask a private detective, but that must have enough information and clues.
The only clue that can help is 'Hermione's parents are dentists', as for Harry's aunt and uncle, Chu Xiaobai only remembers what they look like, but does not remember their professions.
In this way, Hermione Granger was the only option.
It took private investigators almost three days to investigate the Granger family's address.
It took Chu Xiaobai a week to ask the private detective to help contact the black market merchants and sell the antiques brought back from the Heavenly Dragon Plane in exchange for funds.
It was another week to buy his house from the neighbor next door to Granger's house and put it back in order.
By the time Chu Xiaobai settled down on the Harry Potter plane, almost twenty days had passed.
Hasn't it been a month? It's only been 20 days here, so what are you doing with 10 days?
Do you need to ask? Of course, it's to get on good terms with the Grangers.
The Granger family still has a very positive attitude towards new things, so when Chu Xiaobai becomes their neighbor, although they will also be a little sad about the departure of the old neighbor, but more importantly, they want to have a good relationship with the new neighbor from the East and learn about various things in the East from Chu Xiaobai.
I didn't expect the Granger family to be so active, and Chu Xiaobai was happy.
Such a great opportunity must not be missed. In order to meet the identity of Lan Jie and his wife's dentists, Chu Xiaobai also showed a hand of traditional Chinese medicine methods learned from the Xiaoyao School at the 'New Neighbor Welcome Party' specially held for himself, although Xiao Xiaobai was not allowed to show up because of the large number of outsiders, but he alone used only a few needles to cure people 'wonderful' means, or Granger and his wife were shocked.
It's just a party, and Granger and his wife regard Chu Xiaobai as their own, after all, everyone is a doctor. Well, although Chu Xiaobai doesn't actually have a medical license.
What's even happier is that little Hermione's curiosity has also been provoked.
At Hogwarts, Hermione was a true student. How did she do that? In addition to the effort that comes with outstanding talent and natural resilience, the drive that comes with intellectual curiosity is also an essential key factor.
It's not, curiosity is ticked. After it was aroused, Little Hermione became a frequent visitor to Chu Xiaobai's house.
Whenever Granger and his wife received patients in the family clinic, little Hermione would always say hello to her parents obediently, and then run to Chu Xiaobai's house without looking back, and said, "I'm going to play with Uncle Chu and not disturb your work."
When the clinic closes and the patients go home, Hermione may not necessarily go home - compared to the British food made by her mother, Chu Xiaobai's craftsmanship is much better. Even if he only knows home-cooked food, it is the craftsmanship of the big foodie empire, which can not be compared to British cuisine, which has the nickname of 'dark cuisine'.
That is, I have never been to Chu Xiaobai's side in the morning, counting lunch and dinner, as well as the occasional afternoon tea, in just ten days, Hermione has eaten more than a dozen meals at Chu Xiaobai's house. If it weren't for Chu Xiaobai's constant saying, 'I like Hermione's child very much, and I live alone, it's good to have someone willing to accompany me', Granger and his wife might have restricted little Hermione from eating and drinking with him because they were embarrassed.
Of course, it is also indispensable to invite Chu Xiaobai back. Although Hermione always complained from time to time, 'Mom, your skills are so bad, don't invite people over for dinner', but fortunately, Mr. Granger still has a good barbecue skill, and he will not be too embarrassed when he invites Chu Xiaobai back.
After squabbing with each other and inviting each other to dinner, the relationship between Chu Xiaobai and the Granger family soon became close.
"By the way, Mrs. Granger......."
"Just call me Kate. Chu, we're already friends, aren't we? ”
"Okay, Kate. Is Hermione up? I just made an appointment with her yesterday to pick cherries today. ”
"I don't know, I took a look before I did the laundry, and she was still snoring."
"Mom, I won't snore~~!" As soon as Mrs. Granger finished speaking, Hermione shouted from the small window on the second floor. Although she is still only a schoolboy under the age of twelve, Hermione has also awakened some of the female nature, such as the love of beauty.
Refuting her mother, Hermione turned her head to Chu Xiaobai who was standing on the edge of the fence, she was still small, she could only poke a small head out of the window, which was somewhat inconvenient. But even so, she still waved her little hand happily and happily greeted Chu Xiaobai: "Hey, Uncle Chu~!" Good morning~~! ”
"Hey, Hermione. I guess you slept soundly last night, and your face was crushed. ”
"Huh?" Quickly withdrew his little hand and touched his face twice, and then remembered that there was at least twenty meters between himself and Chu Xiaobai, and he shouldn't be able to see if there were any marks on his face. In the next second, little Hermione protested to Chu Xiaobai angrily: "Uncle Chu, you fooled me again~~!" The teacher said that it is not right to deceive people~~! ”
"Yo, you've even learned how to 'flicker'?"
"Of course~!" Seeing Chu Xiaobai's outstretched thumb, Hermione proudly raised her little head: "It's simple, isn't it?" ”
"Well, Miss Hermione Granger, a gifted child, when are you going to come down? By the way, I just made some traditional Chinese breakfast, and it's still hot ....... ”
"Don't move, I'll come down now~!"
With a whoosh, the little head in front of the window disappeared. There was also a sound of tom-tom footsteps on the stairs of the house. After just a dozen seconds, Hermione Granger ran out of the back door of the kitchen on the first floor. While running towards Chu Xiaobai, she didn't forget to say hello to her mother in the yard: "Mom, you don't have to cook my breakfast, I'll go to Uncle Chu's house to eat well~!" ”
Eat 'good'? Are you deliberately complaining that the breakfast made by the old lady is not delicious? As soon as she heard her daughter's words, Mrs. Granger had several black lines on her face. Seeing Hermione's movements again, she couldn't help but shout: "Hey~!" Hermione~, didn't you say that you are not allowed to climb the fence, you walk through the main gate for me~! ”
"It's okay, Uncle Chu is here~."
While answering his mother's words, he grabbed Chu Xiaobai's hand and stepped on the crossbar of the fence with strength. As she spoke, Hermione jumped again, jumped from the fence into Chu Xiaobai's arms, and was finally gently put on the ground by him.
"Kate~." Hermione is already here, and two more mouths are nothing, anyway, they are dumplings, just go down to the pot and cook them together. After thinking about it, Chu Xiaobai greeted Mrs. Granger again: "Don't do it, come to my side with Bolton." I've got a lot of ingredients to prepare, and Hermione and I can't eat them all on our own. ”
"Huh? Do I have a role with Bolton? Well, you're welcome. "Who said that the British don't joke, didn't Mrs. Granger come and say, "By the way, Chu, you tell the truth, really?" How about it, just Hermione and me, don't call Bolton? ”
