Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 234 Granger's Invitation

On the afternoon of December 23rd, Lien had just woken up from his afternoon nap and got up from the bed when he saw a letter placed by the head of the bed.

First, he looked at the sending address, which was Hogwarts; then he looked at the sender: Hermione Granger.

After opening the letter, Lean carefully read every word in the letter.

Hermione discussed it with her parents and decided to invite Rian to Granger's for Christmas dinner tomorrow night.

Rin put the letter away with a smile, and then left his bedroom.

"Pudding, a glass of lemon juice, send to the study."

While walking, Li En ordered that when Li En walked into the study, there was already a glass of lemon juice on the desk.

Smelling the vague fragrance in the air, Li En slowly sat down on his seat, then picked up the book on the table and started to read.

This is a novel about knights from another world. Even from the experience of Lean's later generations who have read many books, this novel still has its wonderful features, which makes it impossible to stop.

When people are fully immersed in one thing, time will become faster.Lean picked up the glass of lemon juice, took the last sip, and was just about to call for pudding to refill himself, when he realized that it was already dark.

Walking out of the study room, the dining room is already filled with all kinds of delicacies, and each plate is covered with a transparent cover, which is used to keep the food fresh.All the dishes covered by the cover can keep the taste of the dishes when they were just covered.

Lien sat on the dining table and tapped the corner of the table twice. The film covering the plate disappeared instantly, and the aroma of the vegetables locked in the plate instantly permeated the entire space.

Smelling this aroma, Rian suddenly felt that his stomach was hungrier than before, so he picked up the knife and fork next to him and began to enjoy the delicious food.

After the dinner was finished, the plates on the table disappeared in an instant, and even the table blanket was replaced.Then came a chocolate cake and a glass of blueberry juice.

"Pudin, you don't need to make my dinner tomorrow night. Also, prepare a present for me. I'm going to be a guest tomorrow night."

Lien swallowed the cake in his mouth and said to the air next to him.

After eating, Ryan wiped his mouth and left the restaurant.

Lean, who left the dining room, came to the living room, took all the gifts he had bought before, tore off the sticky notes on them, and started packing.

By the way, Lean called Pais and asked him to accept the goods, so as not to send them to the wrong person in time.

Pais looked at the presents in front of him, and suddenly felt that his paws seemed a little unstable.

"Cuckoo!" Pais immediately protested.

It's just that its protest was quickly suppressed by Lean with three packs of special owl rations.

After getting paid, Pais immediately calmed down and stood aside combing his hair.Every time Lean finishes wrapping a gift, he will put the gift in Pais' ankle ring, and then explain to Pais who the gift is for.

This year there are extra gifts, for the three brothers, the four young ones, the professors in Hogwarts must have one, Beaver and Kex need to give one, and the Granger family also needs to give one.

The servants in the manor in the box world also need a Christmas gift, but this one doesn't need Pais to send it.

Maybe it was because he hadn't done this kind of work before, and Lien didn't want the gift he sent to be ruined on the ugly packaging, so Lien wrapped it very slowly.

After working for about two hours, Rian wrapped up all the presents and stuffed them into Pais' ankle rings.

The next day, Lean got up early in the morning and went to the barber shop outside to get a haircut.When he was traveling before, his hair grew long, and Lean just used magic to cut it himself, and didn't care about the hairstyle at all.

But since he was going to Granger's house tonight, it was still necessary to do a little hairstyle.In addition to the hairstyle, Lean also specially bought a suit of clothing.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, Lean even wanted to find a tailor to make a set by hand.

Carrying the clothes he bought, Lean returned to his hut, and pudding was just preparing lunch at this time.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was already ten past eleven, and the Hogwarts Express should have departed by now.

He picked out a good bottle of wine from his wine cellar, thought about it, and then went back and took an extra bottle of blueberry wine.

After placing two bottles of wine on the table, Lean sat on the sofa and snapped his fingers lightly, and the knight novel that was originally placed on the desk in the study appeared in Lean's hands.

Finding a comfortable position on the sofa, Rian opened the book in his hand and immersed himself in that magnificent world.

After turning four or five pages, Lean was interrupted by pudding.

"Master's lunch is ready, would you like to eat now or wait a while?"

Pudding stood aside, bent over. It was originally short, but now it looked not much higher than the coffee table, so Lean had to bend down to see it.

Hearing Pudding said that lunch was done, Lean closed the book in his hand and walked to the restaurant.Although he is very curious about the next plot of the novel, when it is time to eat, he still puts down his things to have lunch.

Perhaps because Lean had said that he would not be eating at home tonight, pudding made a particularly rich lunch.If Lian's guess is correct, Pudding should have brought the food for dinner to this moment.

After eating a steak and two chicken legs, and a salad, Lean finished his lunch.

As for the oversized turkey on the table, Lean didn't even look at it.As for things like turkey, Lean didn't plan to eat it. After all, when he was a guest at Granger's house tonight, he would definitely have turkey.

Sitting on the sofa, after reading the next novel, Rian went to take a shower, changed into the clothes he just bought today, and took two bottles of wine, ready to go.

At five o'clock, Lean Apparated into the alley next to Granger's house.

When Lien came out of the alley, there were two aunts beside him who looked into the alley.They really couldn't figure out why a person could come out of a dead end, and judging by Lian's clothes, he didn't look like the kind of person who would go into an alley by himself.

Ignoring how the two aunts would make up their minds, Lian came to Granger's house.

Mr. Granger was shoveling snow outside at the moment. When he saw Lian coming, he happily opened the gate of the fence, patted Lian on the shoulder, and welcomed him in.

"My boy, life in the past six months has been really exciting." Mr. Granger patted Rien on the shoulder twice, expressing his resentment that he could only watch but not be able to travel together.

"Come in, your aunt has already prepared a big meal. Ah, by the way, Hermione is about to arrive, I think we can pick her up together later. I think you young people haven't seen each other for half a year, there must be A lot to say."

"Of course." Lien nodded and handed over the two bottles of wine in his hand.

"Oh, Latour, it looks like I'm lucky tonight."

The moment Mr. Granger saw the body of the red wine bottle, he held the red wine firmly in his hand and kept rubbing it.

Chateau Latour is one of the most prestigious wineries in France. This bottle of red wine was given to him by Nico. Later, he thought it was too troublesome to carry a bottle of wine, so he sent it back and placed it in his cellar. .

And the environment in the wine cellar is also conducive to the preservation of red wine.

Thinking of this, Mr. Granger couldn't wait to run into the house, forgetting even Lean was at the door.

Not paying attention to Mr. Granger's gaffe, Lean closed the gate on his own, and walked towards the house along the path.

Soon, Mr. Granger was kicked out by Mrs. Granger.

Seeing Mr. Granger being thrown out by Mrs. Granger's ear, Lean couldn't help but laugh.However, because of the face of the elders, Li En still didn't laugh.

"Rin, you're here, come in and warm up." Mrs. Granger saw Rin and was about to pull Rin into the room as she spoke.

"You, clear the snow in the yard!" Mrs. Granger glared at Mr. Granger, and then walked into the house.

"Do whatever you want. There are candies on the coffee table. You can try some. We made them ourselves. They are much more delicious than those outside."

Mrs. Granger brought Rien a cup of hot water, explained briefly, and then returned to the kitchen to continue busying with her big meal.

When the time came to 06:30, Mr. Granger had already cleared the snow in the yard, and now he was sitting in the living room watching TV with Lean.

"It's almost time, let's go, it's time to pick up Hermione."

Mr. Granger stood up and walked towards the door.After Mr. Granger put on his coat at the door, Lean pushed the door open.The sudden burst of cold air caused Mr. Granger to shrink his head. He looked at Rin, who was feeling nothing, and said with some envy:
"To be honest, the trait of not invading cold and heat is enough to make people enviable, let alone magic."

"Actually, this is just the effect of the heat preservation spell. Maybe I can send you a button with the heat preservation spell in two days. I think you can use it on your suit."

"Haha, thank you so much, you don't know how inconvenient it is to wear so much outside in winter."

Mr. Granger trotted all the way to his garage and started his car.

With the heating in the car turned on, the temperature inside the car rose, and Mr. Granger finally relaxed.

"This damn weather, the weather in London is so moody. One second it's still sunny and flames, and the next second it can be snowing like goose feathers."

Mr. Granger kept complaining to Ryan about the weather.

After driving for a while, the car was suddenly blocked.

"What happened?" Lean looked at the congested street in front of him and asked with some doubts.

"I don't know, but there is a high probability that it will not be a good thing." Mr. Granger seems to be very experienced in this.

"I'll go out and ask about the situation." Mr. Granger tightened his scarf, then resolutely opened the car door, and walked into the wind and snow.

Three minutes later, the car door was opened again, and Mr. Granger sat in, brushing off the snowflakes on his body while talking about what he had heard.

"There was a car accident ahead and the road was too slippery. It was really bad. Fortunately, no one was injured and the car was just scratched. They should still have a wonderful Christmas Eve today, but insurance Companies may not think so."

As Mr. Granger said, he wiped the water mist on the windshield with the towel in the car.

"It's almost time to go, we have to be more careful next time, I don't want my car to have a close contact with others." Mr. Granger immediately gave [-] points when he saw the car in front of him moving. Be careful, lest you hurt others.

Although the matter is not big, it is not wonderful to encounter such a thing when Christmas Eve is approaching.

All the way to King's Cross Station carefully, and found a parking space, Mr. Granger parked the car in.

"The flow of people is really huge."

Mr. Granger sighed, it took them a long time to find this parking space.

"I think we're late." Lean said to Mr. Granger who was standing next to him, he had already seen Hermione standing at the gate of the station with a suitcase in a huff.

"God, I must write to the mayor next time and ask him to add two hundred more parking spaces at the station."

said Mr Granger angrily.He hadn't seen Hermione for four months, and now he had delayed picking up Hermione because of things like finding a parking space.

He was already thinking about how to write this letter.

"Rin!" Hermione yelled happily when she saw Rin soon.

The little girl immediately dragged the suitcase and ran towards Lien.When he was about to get here, he dropped his suitcase and backpack, and swooped into Lien's arms.

Mr. Granger retracted his outstretched hands in embarrassment, and picked up the backpack and suitcase that Hermione had left on the ground with a calm expression.

"I miss you so much, Lean."

"I miss you too, Hermione."

The two whispered in each other's ears.

"Cough cough." Mr. Granger coughed twice from the side, "We have to go back quickly, the road is not easy to walk, we have to slow down."

Hermione let go of Rin, and then gave her father a hug. Mr. Granger, who was originally calm, immediately burst into laughter.

"Okay, mom has prepared a big meal, I think you must be starving?" Mr. Granger let go of Hermione and said dotingly.

Hermione nodded, she was indeed a little hungry.

Mr. Granger put Hermione's suitcase in the trunk, then got into the car, and backed out the car that had just parked.

Hermione and Rin sat in the back seat, and the little girl kept pulling Rin to tell about the interesting things that happened in school in the first half of the year, and asked a few things about Rin's travels from time to time.

"Okay, kids, here we are, I can already smell the roast turkey."

After parking the car firmly in the garage, Mr. Granger opened the car door and said to the two people who were chatting in the back seat.
