A day at Hogwarts

Two or three days passed, and Charles suddenly found that his ward had become a meeting place.

But thinking about it, Bell and Fleur didn't know each other before. Charles first got to know Fleur's family, and at the same time, he was an alumnus of the same college as Bell, so he became the central hub.

When everyone is bored, they go to Charles to chat.

It is said to be a chat, but Bell is actually telling others about part of his experience of studying magical animals in various places.

He has been to many places and can speak some French. In order to take care of Mr. Delacour who came to listen to the story with snacks and refreshments, he has spoken French these two days. Anyway, Charles can understand it, and Moody is always sitting by the side. Do not participate in chat.

On this day, Mr. Delacour brought green tea leaves, mint leaves, sugar and tea sets. In the living room, he learned to wash his hair with boiling water and make tea, and then put mint and sugar together to make tea. This is a drinking method from the northwestern Sahara Desert.

Fleur opened a large box, which contained a tart-like dessert from South Africa, but the topping was mainly filled with almond paste and coconut meat, which Mr. Delacour bought on the way.

After the mint tea was brewed and the snacks were ready, Bell began to talk about his experience of encountering a big-headed monster in Siberia.

"The big-headed monster is not tall," Bell said while sipping tea. "It stands about 30 centimeters tall. It has long hair on its body, but its head is bald, like a rock."

"They eat people and like to follow people. When people turn around, they lie on the ground, because their heads are too big to cover their bodies, and they only see a stone."

"When they follow, people will become desperate and lost. At this time, if they sit or squat down, they will be attacked."

Fu Rong asked nervously when she heard this: "By attack you mean...eating?"

She was almost eaten by a poisonous leopard not long ago, and she is very sensitive to such things.

Bell nodded. Just now, in order to take care of Furong, he only said the attack, but didn't say it directly.

Then Mr. Delacour's arm suffered, and was subconsciously pinched by his daughter, so he patted the back of her hand lightly.

"Actually, don't worry about it." Bell stroked how much 30 centimeters is, "They are very short, let alone wizards, even local Muggles can kick them away without drinking. Children aged six or seven can take them away. You can run away with a stick."

"So some wizard children often play games. If they turn around several times and see the same stone behind them, they will run over and kick it away, or kick it into the water."

"The first big-headed monster I saw was flying in the sky."

Fleur looked relieved.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and someone rushed in slowly.

"elder sister!"

Gabriel threw herself into Fleur's arms, then touched where to pinch, and kept asking if it still hurts.

At this time, not only Gabriel appeared, but Bell's wife Sarah also came, and the two embraced as soon as they met.

As for Charles, his eyes widened in surprise as he watched Fleur and Gabriel's mother, Apolline Delacour, approaching him.

"Hello, Charles." Madame Delacour smiled brightly, "We meet again."

Charles opened his mouth and asked after a while, "Mrs. Delacour, did you know it was me that night in front of 84 Charing Cross Road?"

The blue eyes of that book friend on the second night of Christmas last year made a deep impression on him, so he recognized it immediately, and now he is sure after hearing the voice, that it was Delacour who was chatting with him at that time lady.

Mrs. Delacour said with a smile: "That night I accompanied my mother to St. Mungo's Hospital for a review by the Longbottoms. At that time, I wanted to see you, so I wore Gabriel's necklace."

"At that time, I just went to Diagon Alley to buy some snacks. I didn't expect to find you standing in front of 84 Charing Cross Road when I came out."

Mrs. Angelina, who was listening to Bell's story just now, nodded towards Charles.

Elder Bakalova, who came to be Furong's bodyguard, raised her brows and whispered something in Mrs. Delacour's ear, only to get a smiling shake of her head in the end.

After hearing this, Charles scratched his head in embarrassment. On the train back to Hogwarts after the Christmas holiday, Neville did say that Mrs. Angelina went to check on her parents on the second day of Christmas. It seems that Neville still called her aunt coming.

He didn't expect that his necklace was in his pocket at the time, but he didn't know it was located.

Belle and Fleur's family came, and Charles's was no exception.

Jack came in last, and kept staring at Ruby holding a piece of snack, with question marks popping out of his head.

"Damn it!" the old man exclaimed, "This sharp-billed red goose is so fat!"

Then Ruby turned her head angrily and walked to the corner to draw circles.

Others thought that Fenghuang didn't like many strangers, so they didn't care.

Everyone sat down around the table again, and Charles was busy pouring tea and water.

Jack sat there looking very uncomfortable, and he was the only Muggle here on the surface. Mr. Delacour smiled and said to him: "Mr. Smith, don't be nervous, we have nothing special."

"Thank you." Jack still had a straight face, "I used to chat with Dumbledore at most."

Charles suppressed a laugh in his heart, thinking that the old man was not nervous because he was pretending to be a Muggle, but because there were two Veela here, and he was afraid of being recognized and reversing old scores.

After a few chats with everyone, Charles understood the current situation. The International Federation of Wizards will present awards to several of them in Ouagadou in two days, so they called their family members to attend the awards ceremony.

After the crowd dispersed, Charles asked Moody: "Mr. Moody, can I go to the restaurant next door with grandpa for lunch?"

Seeing that Moody was a little bit embarrassed, Jack said, "Thank you for protecting Charles' safety these days. If it's inconvenient, forget it."

Moody said to Jack blankly: "Please forgive me, don't let your guard down."

So the grandpa and grandson spent two afternoons chatting in the ward, most of the topics were about rubies.

After dinner, Mr. Delacour worried that Jack was not used to it here, so he invited him to live in the house he rented.

Jack pretended to think about it for a while and then refused, saying that he should live in the place arranged by the International Federation of Wizards, which is not far from the hospital, and the house is also prepared for ordinary family members of wizard patients.

In the next few days until the award ceremony, everyone still came to Charles's ward to chat during the daytime, and Jack listened a little cautiously.

No one knows, every night, there is a dummy on Jack's bed, and he went to other places.
