Chapter 21: The Terrible Lady Granger
Hermione, Fleur and Lady Granger were very attentive.
Fleur is introducing Beauxbatons to Hermione, and the two compare the differences between the two schools.
Madame Granger, who had little contact with the wizarding world, was very interested in this, so she listened intently.
The trio had no idea what Hallie and Mr. Granger were doing.
So without a sound, two or three bottles of wine were already in the stomach.
Especially after drinking the flame whisky, drink a glass of icy champagne in one go.
Magic Flame and Magic Frost meet in the stomach, ice and fire are two heavens, but they do not cause harm to the human body.
It's a great treat.
"Hallie," Mr. Granger was already drunk,
"What do you think of Hermione's performance at Hogwarts? Can you make friends?
Alas, this child has not been worrying since elementary school. Every time I go home from vacation, you are the one who mentions it the most.
I'm scared if she's the only friend you at Hogwarts......"
Before Mr. Granger could finish speaking, Hermione turned her head as if telepathically, and heard Mr. Granger's words.
"Daddy!" The girl blushed slightly and tugged at her father's arm, but was ignored by Mr. Granger.
"Hallie, I told you that Hermione was ...... when she was in elementary school."
Hermione's face turned redder.
In order to prevent her father from revealing her little secrets and causing her own social death, Hermione decided to ask for help.
When she saw the empty bottle on the table, she immediately turned to Mrs. Granger and complained, "Mommy, Daddy is drinking again!" ”
"William!" Mrs. Granger also saw the empty bottle on the table, and her face changed instantly.
Considering that there were outsiders here, Madame Granger just whispered, "What are you doing!"
Didn't you say you were going to quit drinking? Also, you actually took the little wizard to drink! ”
Mr. Granger was dazed, and when he heard Mrs. Granger's words, he was so frightened that he instantly sobered up:
"I'm not, I don't, I haven't touched a drop of wine! Look, Caitlin, I'm so conscious! ”
"So, dear Senior William, can you explain what this bottle on the table with 'Flame Whiskey' on it contains?
What is this bottle that is the same as the wine package provided by the vineyard in Bordeaux at home? ”
Mrs. Granger asked with a non-smiling smile, bringing a murderous aura that made the three little girls on the table as silent.
Harley could swear that she had never done this to other aristocratic ladies who practiced Sequence Six abilities herself.
Hallie has always been familiar with the poems of Russell the Great, mastering the various cultures of the aristocracy, dancing, chatting, and teasing the aristocratic young lady.
What, she always changes one every few days? That's fine, it's not for a lifetime anyway.
In the end, Mrs. Granger spared Mr. Granger and was only going to settle accounts with him when she returned to the hotel in the evening.
After enjoying the perfect meal, the Granger family returns to the hotel, while Hallie and Fleur go to the large bath for a dip.
After swimming in the sea, you must carefully wash with soap, and you must not let go of every inch of your skin, otherwise the skin will become rough.
……
Over the next few days, Hallie and Fleur spent the next few days browsing the surrounding scenic spots in the car rented by Granger's family.
After a week of playing, Professor Slughorn contacted Harley through an owl.
"Harry, we need to get back to Hogwarts." In his letter, Professor Slughorn wrote,
"The Ministry of Magic has arranged an interview for you, ready to give a detailed report on your success in the School of Magic Potions Tournament.
And Professor Dumbledore has something to do with you. ”
"I'm sorry, Fleur, Hermione, I need to go back to England first." After reading the letter, Harley showed it to Hermione and Fleur.
"After all, Professor Dumbledore is looking for something to do with you, and there is no way to do it.
Next time you come back, write to me in advance and I'll show you around the rest of France. Fleur nodded in understanding, and agreed to take Hallie on a tour of France next time.
Hermione had already approached her parents and asked for their help in sending Harley back.
When they returned to Professor Slughorn's estate, the professor and Mr. Delacul, who had been informed in advance, were already waiting in the manor.
"Goodbye! It's a chance to come to the UK! Harley and Fleur hugged, and Fleur kissed Harley gently on the cheek to say goodbye.
"Mom and Dad plan to go back to the UK by mid-August, and we'll go shopping together when the time comes."
Not to be outdone, Hermione gave Hallie a hard hug and said close to Hallie's ear.
"Of course, don't forget to write to me when the time comes."
……
"Professor, what's going on?" After the Delacours and Grangers left, Hallie looked at Professor Slughorn,
"Is there something stupid the Ministry of Magic doing again, so it needs to report on Hogwarts' victory in the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Potions Tournament to ease the political pressure?"
"A keen sense of smell," Professor Slughorn raised an eyebrow, "but how did you notice that?" ”
"Of course, it's through the details of the beautiful girl!" Hallie tilted her head and folded her fingers, with a lovely thoughtful expression on her face,
"Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape said goodbye without even watching the second round, and that alone was obvious.
And if there wasn't anything tricky, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have called me back in advance.
According to his old man's character, he will definitely let me have a good time in France before I go back. ”
"Very observant," Professor Slughorn nodded, "but let Professor Dumbledore tell you the details!"
President Hector has helped us find the employees of the French Ministry of Magic and complete all the formalities.
I've got the portkey, and you've got an hour and a half to pack your bags, and we'll head straight back to the Ministry of Magic.
It's really annoying, the current director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation is that impersonal Barty Crouch.
So there are a lot of things that my students can do in advance, but we have to show up there and go through a process. ”
"Thank you, Professor." Harley said respectfully, "I'm up to you. ”
……
After traveling a few days ago, Harley had all her luggage with her, so she didn't have to pack it at all.
An hour and a half later, the two used the portkey to go straight back to the room of the British Ministry of Magic for international travelers.
Harley had expected Fudge to wait at the door with a bunch of people and conduct an interview directly, but no one seemed to know about the return of the two.
"That's normal, because Fudge is busy right now." Professor Slughorn sneered.
