Not surprisingly, Mrs. Ludwig was already waiting outside the station. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She wore an emerald plush coat today with a peacock feather hat on her head, and looked like a beauty from an oil painting of the last century.

And from Madame Ludwig's face, you can hardly see the traces left by the years.

"Baby, welcome home!" said Mrs. Ludwig, who opened her hands to Benjamin.

But because Benjamin knew that Daphne and Pansy were watching him, he was a little embarrassed to hug his mother.

"Well, Mother, my classmates are here!" Benjamin whispered.

Mr. Ludwig remained aloof.

Mrs. Ludwig laughed at once, and then, half-jokingly, said, "My darling has really grown up." Why don't you tell us about your classmates?"

Pansy, whom Mrs. Ludwig knew, greeted them very politely and rushed to the Parkinsons.

Daphne walked up to Madame Ludwig, still very polite.

"Hello Madame Ludwig, I'm Daphne Greengrass. "Daphne has a pretty ladylike demeanor, especially when compared to the grinning Pansy.

"Greengrass?" said Mrs. Ludwig, rolling her eyes, "I haven't seen your family out for a while." But we're really connected, and my name is Daphne. ”

Benjamin saw that his mother had a small talk posture, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Well, I said, Daphne's parents should be waiting for her, and we will talk later." ”

Madame Ludwig reluctantly said goodbye to Daphne.

After getting into their car, Mrs. Ludwig was still chattering.

"That Greengrass just now is such a nice girl. ”

"Oh," Benjamin was obviously not interested in the subject, "by the way, why did you just say that their family hasn't been out for a long time?"

Mrs. Ludwig glanced at her husband before she said slowly, "Their family is actually an old and high-status family, which used to be similar to the Malfoy and Black families. It's just that this girl's grandfather is a squib, so he is a little more estranged from our family. ”

Benjamin suddenly realized, looking through the glass window, at the street scene that flashed away.

Compared with the wizarding world, which has not changed significantly for one or two hundred years, the streets of London are only half a year, as if they have changed their appearance.

The neon signs and Santa Claus everywhere, the constantly rotating display screens in the department store, and the unchanging jumping sale are full of life.

"Do we have a Christmas tree at home?" asked Benjamin, suddenly.

Mrs. Ludwig gave him a surprised look, "Of course, this is tradition. ”

"I realized that we had a lot of tradition with Muggles. Benjamin sighed.

Mrs. Ludwig smiled and changed the subject.

"By the way, the opening of your school's secret room has no effect on you, right?"

Benjamin didn't think his mother would mention it, "It doesn't matter, but we still don't know who the killer is." Benjamin pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know what's in the chamber?"

Mr. Ludwig drove steadily, and then took a moment to say, "When I was studying at Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets was just a legend, and my father didn't mention it to me. It must have something to do with Salazar Slytherin, right? But you're a pure-blood wizard, so there's no need to worry. ”

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Then do you think that Squibs and their parents are not wizards really need to be cleansed?"

For Benjamin, he still has some sympathy, after all, he has been a gangster since he was a child.

"My attitude doesn't make a difference. ”

Then they made their way back to Ludwig Manor in silence.

In their yard, Benjamin sees goblins and house-elves in Santa hats. Immediately thinking it was fun, he squatted down and poked the goblin.

Those goblins weren't afraid of him at all, they just said happily, "Welcome home, young master!"

The kind housekeeper also prepared hot water for Benjamin early, and said kindly, "Young master, the hot water is ready, you go take a bath first." ”

Benjamin nodded, took out the small box containing Nana from his box, and said to his mother, "Nana, it's hibernating now, I'll keep it at home during this time." ”

Mrs. Ludwig nodded, and helped Nana conjure up a soft cot and put the bat on it.

There were still rose petals floating in the bathtub at this time, which made Benjamin feel uncomfortable.

It's as if I've come to heaven all of a sudden.

He found that no matter how dangerous the school was, it was still so warm in his home.

Benjamin took a deep breath and relaxed his limbs, feeling the hot water spilled with essential oil running over his skin.

Later, Benjamin fell asleep directly in the bathtub, and was fished out by his mother and brought to the dining table.

"You're so tired at Hogwarts, it can't be that you haven't slept well every night, are you?" said Lady Ludwig sternly.

Benjamin shook his head, "Probably wobbling on the train, a little tired." ”

"Boy," said Mrs. Ludwig, who was about to continue, was interrupted by Mr. Ludwig, "I was his age, and I still wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest every night!

For the next few days, Benjamin basically lived a happy life with this kind of food to open his mouth.

Until the Christmas dinner comes.

"Benjamin, get up quickly, you will stand in the door in a moment, and if you see your aunt, remember to bring them to the house. Mrs. Ludwig spoke quickly, saying that it was the first time in several years that they had invited so many people to a Christmas dinner.

Benjamin didn't understand why she was so nervous, but he nodded in the face of his mother's terrifying gaze. "No problem, I hope my stupid cousin won't come along, or I'll ...... him"

"Don't talk nonsense here, you're the Ludwig you represent today!" said of Mrs. Ludwig, with a heartfelt pride in her heart.

Benjamin touched the ring on his finger that was under the covers, and the Ludwig family badge was still clearly visible.

It's just that he still knows too little about this family.

"Alright, why are you in a daze, get up from the bed!" said Mrs. Ludwig, and then left directly.
