HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter 141 Manor Life (4)

The leaves outside the house rustled, the wind blew the bamboo curtains up and down, and made a soft bang bang sound when they touched the window sill.Ann became conscious in a trance, and narrowed his eyes. Since the summer vacation, An has been getting up very early.

I glanced at my watch, it was seven fifteen in the morning, and there was still a long time before the eight o'clock morning meeting.Lowering her head slightly, looking at the people surrounded by her, An unconsciously smiled.

Slowly pulling out her hand, Ann got up lightly. After getting out of bed, she gently covered Hermione with the quilt. Unexpectedly, Hermione hugged the quilt and muttered, "Crookshanks, don't make trouble. ..."

Ann almost laughed out loud because she had never seen such a Hermione, because such a Hermione was extremely cute.She suddenly thought of Crookshanks' almost mature pet, and she really didn't know where Hermione got it.

Ann packed the blankets, went out to the balcony and sent a signal with her magic wand, Gu Ke appeared on the balcony of the tree house with breakfast, Ann took the breakfast, and whispered to Gu Ke to send Crookshanks from Hermione's room. come over.

Ann hugged Crookshanks who was curled up in a ball and hadn't woken up yet, and Anne gave a smirk. She really wanted to know what Hermione's expression would be when she woke up and saw Crookshanks next to her.

However, it was getting late, she glanced at her watch, then at the breakfast and notes on the wooden table, and walked out of the tree house.

An carried the documents into the meeting room of Roland Manor. There were five people sitting or standing inside. They were all dressed in black robes. They took off the hoods that covered their heads only when they saw An coming in.

As soon as the door of the meeting room was closed, An said, "Thank you for your hard work." She distributed the information in her hand to everyone, "This is the statistical report of each region last month, and the expected report for this month and next month .”

A fat man in black robe flipped through the report in his hand and exclaimed in dismay, "So many?"

An smiled, showing her canine teeth, "It's not surprising, 'war money' is definitely more profitable than normal trade."

A tall female wizard also flipped through the report in her hand, "But this is too tall... the Ministry of Magic?"

"In business, business..." An said, "There is nothing illegal about what we do, and even if we don't do it, someone else will do it..."

The old wizard carefully read the report in his hand, and said slowly, "You have the demeanor of your grandfather back then, and the Roland family at that time was also so bold under his hands..."

"I just thought you were praising me..." An smiled, but then said with a serious face, "Although the current profits are considerable, I still want to remind you that this is a huge risk, especially now When the magic world is already in a state of open war, everyone knows how powerful the mysterious man is..."

The meeting lasted for nearly four hours. When going out, every wizard threw the materials in their hands into the stove that had been prepared at the door. The purple flames swallowed up the materials almost instantly, leaving no ashes .

Sitting on the main seat, An played with a gold Galleon with his fingers flying.Gu Ke apparated in the meeting room and bowed slightly to An, "Little master, they all apparated away safely."

Ann seemed to be relieved, and smiled, "Thank you, Gu Ke. Well, this matter can come to an end for now." She stretched herself, put Jin Jialong in her pocket and stood up, "Where is Miss Granger now?"

"The library on the third floor."

"Well..." Ann smiled, she knew Hermione would stay there.

Carrying two glasses of iced watermelon juice up to the third floor, Ann stopped in front of the library.She turned and walked to the corridor, and pushed open the door of the study.There was no one in the study, and the wooden door leading to the library was ajar.

Sit down in front of the piano and put the lid back on.Ann played Beethoven's "Fur Elise". As soon as the piano sounded, there was a cat meowing in the library, and then Crookshanks jumped onto the sofa in the study through the wooden door.

Hermione then walked into the study with a book in her arms, looked at Ann with a smile, and leaned against the wall.

The fingers didn't stop, fluttering and moving on the keys, Ann raised her chin, indicating that Hermione could drink the watermelon juice on the table first.

Hermione walked to the desk and sat down, slowly sipping iced watermelon juice.

The last note fell, and Ann stood up.When he was about to walk to Hermione, he was entangled by Crookshanks, and he walked around Ann from time to time to glance at the watermelon juice on the table.

It seems to be saying, don't get close to my master unless you give me a drink.Hermione smiled while holding the iced watermelon juice. She looked at Ann, wanting to see how Ann would cope.

"It seems that if I don't give you a drink, I won't be able to get close to your master today?"

Crookshanks seemed to understand this sentence, and nodded humanly.Hermione laughed.Crookshanks bit Ann's trousers.

"Okay, okay..." Ann made a gesture of surrender, and Crookshanks immediately yelled flatteringly, and climbed up to the desk extremely quickly, holding the cup with both paws and sticking out his tongue to lick it happily.

Ann walked up to Hermione, and naturally put a hand on Hermione's shoulder, "Hermione, isn't Crookshanks really some wizard's Animagus? I think you should go to the Ministry of Magic Check it out..."

These words caused Crookshanks to roll his eyes, and made Hermione smile even harder, "No, Ann, I'm sure, it's not..."

"Well, well..." Ann shrugged, "In that case..."

With a smirk on his face, Ann said, "Your cat drank a glass of my juice, so I can make up for it by taking a sip of its owner's juice..."

With that said, Ann picked up Hermione and drank more than half of the juice that was on the table, took a big sip, and smacked her lips when she was done, "Sure enough, drinking iced watermelon juice in summer is the best, it's cool and sweet..."

Hermione blushed, and she instantly remembered the kiss last night, and then she remembered the shock when she saw Crookshanks when she woke up in the morning.

"Okay, what about this morning?" Hermione looked at Ann and said, "I was taken aback when I woke up this morning. Crookshanks couldn't have crossed half of the manor and climbed to the tree house by himself..."

Ann rubbed her nose, she could almost imagine the surprise on Hermione's face when she woke up in the morning to find Crookshanks curled up on the bed.

Meeting Hermione's eyes, Ann felt guilty, "How about, why don't you bring Crookshanks to my bed next time?"

Crookshanks finished drinking the juice, heard Ann's words, let out a short but contented cry, and then jumped over the table in Ann's direction, Ann caught Crookshanks just in time, and Crookshanks Keshan rubbed in satisfaction.

"You see, Crookshanks is also very satisfied with this answer..." Ann said.

"Who would do that..." said Hermione, momentarily reeling from the thick-skinned Ann.

An raised her eyebrows, "Well, let's go to the lake to eat grilled fish tomorrow!" She raised her chin slightly, "I promise it's super delicious..."

Hermione seemed much more satisfied with this choice, and Crookshanks in her arms even raised her tail, looking eager to try.

After lunch, Ann and Hermione spent the afternoon in the study.Ann took care of family affairs and her own investment in the Muggle world. After all, her assets in pounds have reached over one million pounds.But still not enough.

If layout is needed in the future, the money is still too little.Ann looked at the asset statement, and maybe there should be a big risk leverage.

On a sunny day, the blue sky is reflected in the lake.Next to the wooden house by the lake is a small stream that flows down from a nearby mountain to the lake.

There are two simple one-way wooden barriers in the stream about three meters apart, and five fish can be clearly seen swimming between the barriers.

"Can't use magic?" Hermione looked at the five swimming fish.

Pulling up his trousers above his knees, An firmly shook his head, "That would be boring... Besides, didn't you say you never caught fish last night?" An eagerly said, "Let's give it a try today, believe me. Me, the fish caught by myself must taste different from other fish, and with the small area between these two blocks, the difficulty is already very low."

Ann looked at Hermione, and added another provocative sentence, "Miss Granger, you are afraid, right now, there are exactly five fish here, how about a competition?"

"Who's scared??" Hermione raised her head, and when she heard about the competition, she also got motivated, "Okay."

With a slight smile, Ann stepped barefoot into the stream first, then stretched out her hand, and led the cautious Hermione into the water.Crookshanks happily ran up and down the bank with his tail up.

The five fish seemed to know their impending fate, and they started to move vigorously. Their tails stirred up the sediment at the bottom of the stream, and the clear stream suddenly became turbid.

Hermione frowned slightly, "I can't see them..."

An chuckled softly, and helped Hermione stand upright, "It's not bad, catching fish has become fishing, and the difficulty has increased. Haha, Hermione, you won't shrink back because of this little difficulty, will you?"

"No way." Hermione said, she left Ann's holding hand, tried to walk two steps in the water, looked at Ann and said, "You tell me to start!"

An Hehe smiled, "Okay, let's start!"

Bending down, An walked a few steps towards the one-way block. Generally speaking, fish like to swim along the shore. If it is as expected, there should be one at the intersection of the block and the shore.

Sure enough, as soon as she reached out to touch it, Ann caught a fish, which was struggling in Ann's hands.

He turned his head and took a peek at Hermione who was a few steps away. Hermione was stroking fish in the water with a serious face.

As soon as he let go, the slippery fish disappeared from An's grasp.

With a slight smile, Ann changed places again.

"Oh~" There was a remorseful voice, Hermione looked disappointed, "A fish just slipped out of my hand, I want to catch it..."

An Shi raised the fish he had caught for a while, "Look, I caught one, hey, I won't tell someone that the technique of catching a fish is to close your hands immediately after touching the fish, and grab the fish What about the gills..."

Hermione glanced at Ann, bent down and started searching again.

Ann threw the fish to the shore, and Crookshanks jumped up with a whoosh, one paw held down the alive and struggling fish, and called out to Ann.

"Bucket! Crookshanks—" Ann reminded, Crookshanks immediately picked up the fish, ran to a small bucket on the bank, put the fish in, and then yelled at Ann as if asking for credit .

At this moment, Hermione raised a fish excitedly, "Look, a fish!" Sure enough, a fish was caught in Hermione's hand, and her tail flicked vigorously.

"Wow!" An admired sincerely, and she grinned, "It seems that I have to work hard..."

Hermione threw the fish to the shore and smiled at Ann, "There are three more!"

In the final result of this fishing competition, Hermione won. She caught three fish, while Ann only caught two.

Hermione seemed very excited during the whole process of grilling the fish afterwards.The charcoal-grilled fish is delicious with Ante's special seasoning.

Crookshanks ate the fattest fish in recognition of its contribution to the competition.

After eating the grilled fish by the wooden house, Hermione followed Ann's example again, walking back to the castle on the grass with bare feet and shoes in her hands.Even though they were covered in mud and water, Ann and Hermione always had bright smiles on their faces.
