Chapter 319: Sounds Scary

"Just got back from the bar and want to drink?" Roger reached out to catch the beer, flicking his thumb open the lid. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm getting less and less drunk now, and beer is like a malt-flavored carbonated drink. Caroline took a big gulp, and the action was extremely bold: "I understand your feelings a little." ”

Roger shrugged his shoulders as he clutched the bottle: "I really have to congratulate you... The female Bacchus of the new era. ”

Caroline rolled her eyes and didn't answer.

The siblings finished their beer, threw it into the pile of bottles in the living room, and pushed the door to Hermione's house.

After all, they have been neighbors for three years, and even if Caroline and Granger are not very close, they are no strangers, and they occasionally chat together when they meet on the road.

Mr. Granger opened the door in an apron and greeted Roger and Caroline into the room while Mrs. Granger was busy with stews in the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the room, Roger jerked his nose violently twice, and then patted Mr. Granger's little belly with some fat and said in admiration: "No wonder it looks so good here, the reason is all due to Madame's craftsmanship... I'm blessed tonight~"

"This kid is really good at talking. Mrs. Granger was delighted to be amazed at her workmanship, and she turned to the little guests and said, "Dinner will have to wait a while, and you can go upstairs to Hermione, who is packing her bags." ”

Mr. Granger stayed in the kitchen to help his wife.

The first floor of Hermione's house was very simple, the living room connected to the kitchen was large and there was nothing superfluous, but the second floor was different, with an open door and several huge glass bookcases towering inside, densely packed with books, and the desks, floors, and chairs were littered with pages.

"That's my parents' study, and that's where they work. Hermione leaned against the door of her room and greeted Caroline, "Hey Caroline, nice new look." ”

Caroline touched the short shredded hair on her head and replied with a smile, "You can also try it, your face shape is very suitable for short hair." ”

"I'll think about it when I have time. Hermione said noncommittally.

Hermione had been to Roger's house quite a lot, and she knew Caroline very well.

The girl took two steps forward and walked into the study and beckoned to the siblings: "Come and visit the place where my parents work... It's a rare opportunity, and they don't usually allow others to come in when they write a book. ”

Roger followed, and Caroline carefully avoided stepping on the scattered pages on the floor.

"Don't worry about that, what you throw away is a waste manuscript, it's useless. Hermione waved her hand to indicate that she didn't have to care so much.

Roger bent down and picked up a few pieces of paper, most of which had only one or two sentences at the beginning, and they were also incomplete.

For example, "The night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it can't be dissolved...", and on the next page, "The night sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with twinkling stars..."

The boy blinked, not understanding what was wrong with the two sentences.

Hermione saw his confusion and explained, "It's a matter of careful use, and they tear it up and start over when they don't think it's good... My dad often struggled with whether 'it's cold tonight' or 'it's cold tonight'. ”

Roger smacks his lips, well, writer......

"Wow~ "Scarecrow Night Walk", "Ghost in the Neighborhood", "A Jar of Demon Blood"..."Caroline opened a bookcase and looked at the name stamped on the spine: "The entire bookshelf is a series of goosebumps books... Your parents must have loved W&J's work. ”

Roger blinked, also walked over and pulled out a copy, put it in his hand and flipped through it: "'Werewolf Howling in the Night'... It looks like a horror novel, and I remember you saying that your parents wrote horror novels. ”

Hermione looked at the books on the shelves flatly: "Yes, this bookshelf is their work. ”

Caroline gasped in surprise, "There are hundreds of books on the entire shelf?"

"It was written by the two of them, so the pen name has a '&' in the middle (stands for: and). It's not a big deal. Hermione didn't show much pride.

"No, that's amazing! Some writers can't write so many books in their lifetime. Caroline said with all seriousness.

Only then did Roger remember that what she had given him this Christmas was a set of magical novels. It seems that her sister likes to read? This is a little inconsistent with her temperament...

"Leaning against a motorcycle in a riveted leather suit, and holding a copy of the "Goosebumps" children's book in the shade... The old lady looked Caroline up and down, and then fantasized about the scene, which was a little difficult to describe.

"Children's books, children's books will help them fall asleep quickly," Caroline scoffed, pointing to the shelves and retorting, "and these books will keep you awake all night." ”

Roger looked at Hermione inquiringly, and the girl shrugged innocently, "Don't look at me, we've read this, my parents say it's better for children to watch fewer horror stories." ”

"It's not a small time... It's a pity that you can be the protagonist of a horror story yourself, and it's even less interesting to read these books again..."After flipping through a few pages, the boy spit out the groove and put the book back in its place.

The story of a werewolf, a witch, and an immortal man sounds terrifying, right?

Just after six o'clock, plates of delicacies were served on the dining room table under the skillful hand of Madame Granger, and the three of Granger's family, along with Roger and Caroline, sat down.

It seemed that Hermione was serious about her mother, emphasizing how good the guests were this time, and the piles of boiled noodles on the plate were almost unstoppable.

And Mrs. Granger's craftsmanship is really good, the chicken, ham pie, boiled potatoes and salad are very delicious.

Roger was not rude, and sometimes he still knew how to write the word politeness.

Slowly sweeping the food off the table, the Granger couple looked at each other in some surprise, and then said, "When Hermione first told us all, I didn't believe it...... Well, are you full? Would you like to make you some more?"

"No, no, no," Roger wiped his mouth with a napkin and quickly said, "I'm eating a lot less now, so it's just right." ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

Mrs. Granger began to clean up the messy table: "Alright then, I'll clean it up..."

"We're here to help, too. Caroline stood up and reached for the plate.

"It's enough to have Wendell here, and we'll be ready soon," Mrs. Granger pushed them out of the room, "There's a new playground behind Morton Park, and you little ones can go there." ”
