Chapter 26 The Strange Dilapidated Hut

No matter how reluctantly, the Christmas holiday passed quickly, and Charlotte sent her two little friends to the Hogwarts Express again, and Charlotte started her life at a few points, but compared to the past year , this year she is undoubtedly busier.She goes to Mrs. Davis's house every week on her rest day, and goes to the "Big Rock Boxing Gym" in the next town with Mrs. Davis for fighting training.

I still remember that when she first went there, other trainers in the boxing gym looked at her with the eyes of "where did you get the bean sprouts", and now those people no longer have this view.One of the best fighting coaches, Weistar, directly accepted Charlotte as an apprentice, and devoted himself to teaching her fighting skills.Wistar is an ex-soldier, but other people think he's a little crazy, because Wistar always says he fought dragons, and other people think it's bullshit.

Charlotte is different. She thinks that Wistar may have really fought the dragon, but he didn't meet the wizard, so his memory was not erased.Because Wistar has a very strong strength.As a Muggle, he is thicker and stronger than Charlotte, and he was able to catch her at Charlotte's extremely high speed (of course Charlotte restrained some speed) and stop her. Holding her, this made Charlotte realize again how stupid she was before, one mountain is higher than the other, never think that her strength is enough...

Charlotte was at the Davis home early this weekend.Davis's home is on the other side of Cokeworth, which is close to the edge of the town, and another town can be reached through a small road. It may be that Mrs. Davis chose this place to settle down for the convenience of going to work.There is a small hillside on the edge of the town, and there are dense forests on the hillside. Every time Charlotte passes through this forest, Charlotte can see a somewhat dilapidated small house, which looks like a hunter's wooden house, but when she asked Mrs. Davis said she didn't see anything.

"Maybe I won't be able to go to the boxing gym today. Your Uncle Bass and I have to go to London. Do you want to go there by yourself? I can call Wistar to pick you up." Dai, who didn't have breakfast as usual Mrs. Weiss to Charlotte.

"In this case, let's not go there for now. I can just go to the library to read..."

Since Mrs. Davis is not available, Charlotte decides not to go to the boxing gym.Recently, Mrs. Betty urged her to study the knowledge related to animal care and treatment, and asked her to try to take the junior certificate of pet caregiver. When she is older, she can take the advanced exam and get the veterinary certificate.

She thinks it makes sense. In the future, she needs to be around the animals all the time. Sooner or later, she will have to do this, so she has to devote herself to tedious learning. There is really too much theoretical knowledge.As for the practical part, Mrs. Betty has already asked her to do some basic health care for pets. You must know that she has learned a lot from Mrs. Betty during her apprenticeship.

"What a good boy. Your Uncle Bass and I are leaving first. You go in and have breakfast with Daniel, who has just woken up. ——Don't refuse, you know your Uncle Bass deliberately made too much, so you can't waste it. "

Charlotte had no choice but to agree, and Mrs. Davis used this trick every time to make Charlotte submit. Fortunately, even though Charlotte had eaten, she walked from the other side of the town for more than an hour. It consumed a lot, so that her stomach could still hold Officer Davis's delicious breakfast.

"Charlotte, let's go first." Officer Davis, who drove out of the police car from the garage, rolled down the window and said to Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at Mrs. Davis, who was sitting in the co-pilot, leaning her head through the window and shook her hand through the window. While shaking her hand, she said, "Goodbye, Uncle Bath, Aunt Susan."

The car quickly disappeared on the road, and Charlotte turned and walked towards Davis' house.The Davis family is surrounded by beautiful houses that can be counted, with red roofs, reddish-brown brick walls, and a lawn fenced in front of the house like other houses in this community.

After entering the door, you can see the kitchen, dining room on the left and living room on the right.Compared with the exquisite appearance, Davis is much "rough" inside. Officer Davis and Mrs. Davis rarely have the opportunity to be at home, and Mrs. Davis is not very good at housework. You must know that the Davis family does The meals were all served by Sergeant Davis.

The short-legged Corgi saw Charlotte rushing over excitedly, his lolling tongue arced out in the air, and his short legs swung rapidly as if they were equipped with motors.

Charlotte pinched Corgi by the leg and lifted him up. She said, "How are you doing, Bambi?" Go around her.

【Xia, you haven't seen me for a week! 】

【Sayuri, you haven't seen me for a year! 】

When hearing Bambi's accusation, Charlotte was suddenly in a trance. It seemed that a cute little girl's voice suddenly appeared in her ear, but the voice disappeared in an instant, as if Charlotte had produced What a conjecture.Recently, she often has some strange thoughts suddenly, and occasionally she is easy to fall into thoughts and cannot extricate herself...

"Charlotte?" Half of his body leaked from upstairs, and it was Daniel who was still in his pajamas. He looked at Charlotte with a surprised expression, as if he didn't know that his parents went to London together, "Didn't you go with your mother?" In the boxing gym?—Oh, wait a minute, I'll change."

He quickly withdrew his body, Charlotte put Bambi down, she squatted down and stroked Bambi's back, and said softly to him: "Nonsense, obviously Daniel took you to Betty's Pet Shop the day before yesterday. How is it? Are you still having a stomachache now?"

【That doesn't count, you are massaging another guy's leg!They ignored me! ] Bambi raised his head and looked at Charlotte hard and cried.

Charlotte stood up and looked at Bambi's condition. Compared with the listless one he saw the day before yesterday, he looked much more energetic now. It seems that there should be no major problems. Mrs. Betty's medicine is still very effective of.

She said: "He's hurt his leg.—I'm going to have breakfast. Where's your breakfast?"

[I've eaten, I'm not as lazy as the little master, I get up earlier than the master. 】

Bambi complacently followed at Charlotte's feet, and when Charlotte sat down, he prostrated himself at Charlotte's feet.

"Bambi really likes you." Daniel, who had changed his clothes, sat across from Charlotte, lifted the breakfast covered by a plate, and said in a drawn-out voice, "He has never been so clingy to me."

【He's not as comfortable around Xia, so don't follow him. ] Bambi barking at Charlotte's feet.

Charlotte didn't speak, she was enjoying the breakfast made by Police Officer Davis intently. The craftsmanship of Police Officer Davis is the best in her opinion so far. It is not much better than the restaurants in the town. She cooks food I learned a lot from Officer Davis.

"Why didn't you go to the boxing gym with my mom today?" Daniel asked.

"Uncle Bath and Aunt Susan went to London today," said Charlotte, "so I'll go back later."

"What? Went to London? Didn't even tell me! How nice to take me with you." Daniel said angrily, he dropped the fork in his hand, "No wonder I was told to take Bambi out for a walk after breakfast last night Take a walk, you know this is usually their job.”

Charlotte put down the fork in her hand, she had already eaten everything on the plate, and while wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, she said to Daniel: "This may be a good thing, didn't you just say that Bambi is not close to you? Take him out for a walk more, it can cultivate feelings."

Daniel pouted as if accepting Charlotte's point of view. He quickly stuffed the sausage into his mouth and chewed hard.Charlotte looked at the naive Daniel amusedly, thinking of Severus who was serious like a little old man.A boy like Daniel is what he should be at this age. He can act like a baby, willful, lose his temper with his parents, likes to play football and read comics.And she and Severus seemed to have escaped the shackles of age, and they were full of calmness after accepting the temper.

After Daniel finished eating, Charlotte consciously washed the dishes, which she thought was a courtesy.But it was stopped by Mrs. Davis before.

"Then I'll go first." Charlotte cleaned up the kitchen and said to Daniel who was putting the dog on a leash.

"Charlotte!" Daniel called to Charlotte who was about to leave, "Why don't you come with me. I'm afraid Bambi won't listen to me."

Bambi really didn't cooperate well with Daniel, he was trying to escape Daniel's hands with his head, and it looked like he was going to come to Charlotte.Blush appeared on Daniel's vigorous face.Charlotte nodded helplessly, agreeing to Daniel's request.Go forward and help Daniel put the dog on the leash.Sure enough, because of Charlotte's approach, Bambi stopped his struggle, and Daniel grunted again.

Charlotte took Bambi's rope and walked along the road with Daniel. They were walking in the direction of the woods.It was not long before Charlotte saw the woods and the house on the hill.Charlotte asked Daniel: "Have you ever been to this forest?"

Daniel replied: "No. It seems that every time I want to come, there is something urgent. It's just so unfortunate. Maybe this forest doesn't welcome me very much."

"Okay..." Charlotte vaguely guessed that whether it was Mrs. Davis who couldn't see the house at all or Daniel who was in a hurry when he thought about it, it all showed that this place might be the place of the wizard and was hidden by the wizard.

"There's nothing to do today, why don't you go and have a look today." Daniel suddenly turned around and walked towards the path in the forest, and Bambi followed Daniel.

Charlotte had to follow, and when they were about to go downhill, Daniel suddenly patted his head, "I didn't seem to have locked the door just now!" After saying that, he hurried back, Charlotte looked helplessly As Daniel walked further and further away, he looked back at the house still standing on the hillside.The door of the house was ajar, but it was dark inside and looked a little eerie.Charlotte hurriedly led Bambi and turned to chase Daniel.

When she came to Davis's house, Daniel was muttering angrily: "What kind of brain is it locked, how could I remember it wrong."

Sure enough, it was the Muggle Repelling Curse.

Charlotte handed the dog leash to Daniel and said, "It's good that nothing happened. We've been walking with Bambi for more than half an hour, why don't we just stop here. I'll go back first."

Daniel scratched his head in embarrassment. Not only did he trouble the girl to help him walk the dog, he even left her behind and ran back by himself.Thinking about it, he felt that he had lost the demeanor that a man should have.Yes, man, he just learned that from TV yesterday.

"Well—bye, Charlotte."

"Goodbye, Daniel."

When she returned to the shopping street, Charlotte saw through the glass window that Mrs. Betty was talking to a group of wives happily, and the pets crawling under their feet seemed to be talking.Charlotte can guess what Mrs. Betty is talking about. Since she came back from London, she has told Charlotte a lot about what happened in London. The happiest thing is that her son in his 30s finally gave her Brought a grandson.But because her daughter-in-law would rather go to a maternity center than her to live with them in London for a while, she was pissed off.Charlotte can even reproduce Mrs. Betty's voice in her head: "I was not very satisfied with Ida at first. You know my son looks good, but I don't know what fascinates my son. In my opinion She's useless."

Even Mrs. Betty, who is warm and gentle, can have such mean moments.Inescapable mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems?Charlotte always felt that she had seen this drama somewhere.

Of course, Charlotte paid more attention to what Mrs. Betty said about London than these.For example, it’s not Christmas, but people dressed in messy clothes flash past the corner of the street; for example, there are owls flying in the sky in winter; for example, several people died in a certain alley in London, as if they were tortured, but the autopsy The officer just didn't find any scars, which was very strange.Charlotte thinks that these things are caused by the wizarding world, so it seems that the wizarding world is not as peaceful as she imagined. I hope that Hogwarts, one of the safest places, will not be affected.

Severus sneezed as he was brewing a potion. He was brewing a refreshing potion for Professor Slughorn.Professor Slughorn was sitting on a desk beside him grading homework. He said, "Severus, you can drink a bottle when it's ready. The weather has started to warm up recently, and there are quite a few people who have caught a cold. .”

Severus rubbed his nose. He thought of Charlotte. He wondered if Charlotte could catch a cold too. Why don't you make some refreshing medicine for her and send it back, it's better than Muggle cold medicine .

At this time, Charlotte was already in the Brooks Library. She found a corner bookshelf with a row of papers and books related to animals. She selected a few theoretical books for the exam and put them next to the bookshelf. on the table, and began to study.When she saw "Cats and Dogs Calm and Pain Relief", she didn't write in detail, but she saw a paper called "Research on Biological Analgesia and Pain Relief Methods" mentioned in the book.After reading the title and number of the paper, Charlotte searched the bookshelves, but unexpectedly found this paper.The author is Allen P. T.Sure enough, this paper is much more detailed, and the targets are not only common pet cats and dogs, but also many larger creatures.

Charlotte didn't get out of her study until she felt a pang of hunger in her stomach. She looked at the clock on the wall of the library, and it was already past 1 pm.She touched her empty stomach and decided to go to a nearby restaurant to make do with a meal. Fortunately, she brought some money, which should be enough to buy a hamburger.

After ordering burgers in the restaurant, Charlotte sat down at a corner table.Before she could speak, she saw a person sitting across from her, Ellen Travers.Allen said, "I actually saw you."

"Hello, Mr. Travers," said Charlotte.

"How about calling me Allen? I don't really like being called Travers." Allen said in a low voice.

"Um, all right. Hello, Mr. Allen."

"I came to look for my naughty pet, and she didn't know where she went." Allen said helplessly, but Charlotte didn't feel how anxious he was, "She often gets lost, but usually I I can find her nearby, but she disappeared when I passed by yesterday, so I came to look for it." Then he suddenly said in a low voice worried, "I hope the Muggle restaurant won't kill her as food."

Charlotte put down the hamburger in her hand in astonishment. What kind of pets will be made into ingredients by the restaurant?She remembered that the pets she saw when she was in Diagon Alley were cats, owls, toads, mice and the like, none of which looked like they could be made into ingredients."What animal?" she asked.

"A snake." Allen said, "It has beautiful patterns on its body. But it's very small, so it shouldn't be used as food."

"Snake?" A thick and big white snake suddenly flashed in Charlotte's head, and she suddenly became worried, "Snakes are not very popular, will they be beaten to death?"

"No. She's smart..." Allen sighed, "Maybe she'll go back by herself tonight. I've searched around here."

"..."

"By the way, Charlotte, have you set that port key?" Allen asked suddenly in a low voice.

Charlotte raised her wrist and slid the bracelet out of her sleeve, she said: "Not yet, it won't work in English, I can pronounce those words but I don't have magic power, Sev and Lily They always have some inflections when they learn to read, so they haven't succeeded so far."

"...I dare say my friend has never thought about this, haha. Chinese is really difficult to learn, so you really surprised me that you know this. You seem to have a lot more talent than other squibs. I passed by the pet shop before At that time, I saw those pets all around you..."

"It's really a nice talent, so I can work in a pet shop, and I'm kind of pleasing to the animals," Charlotte said.

"That's really good, I just want such a talent, so I won't..." Allen suddenly changed the subject, "I left in a hurry last time, I haven't thanked you for your help, why don't you come to my house for dinner ? As my apology, the food cooked by my star is definitely better than the food here."

Charlotte looked at the calculating light in the eyes of the man in front of her, as if she was trying to trick her, she vigilantly squeezed the already cold burger, and shook her head, "Mr. Allen, I think you forget you You have already given me a bracelet as a thank you."

Allen said with some regret: "That's an apology. After all, I hurt you. So there should be a thank you, thank you for saving me." He saw the resistance on Charlotte's face, and he continued , "If you change your mind, you can owl it to me, and I can give you the address." After speaking, Allen said goodbye and left.

Charlotte finished the hamburger in threes and fives, and almost choked because she ate it too fast. The waiter in the store thoughtfully poured her a glass of water. She remembered the little snake Allen said, The people in this shop seem to be quite friendly, they shouldn't be eating indiscriminately, right?

I hope the little snake is safe...
