A day at Hogwarts

In the morning, the air by the lake is particularly refreshing.

Charles stood on the balcony, enjoying the morning comfort.

The door is unlocked, and today's breakfast has arrived.

Erika is no longer the black dress and white apron work clothes she wore yesterday, but is wearing a traditional German white short-sleeved shirt, a dark blue waist shaping dress, and a light blue floral apron.

Charles walked into the room from the balcony and said in surprise, "You look so beautiful today!"

"Thank you." A smile appeared on Erica's face, "I asked for leave today to play with you, let's have breakfast."

Charles walked up to the table and asked her, "Have you eaten yet?"

Erica replied: "I ate in the kitchen with Aunt Natasha, she is the cook here, hurry up and eat."

Charles then sat down and began to eat breakfast.

Today's breakfast is quite rich, there are white sausages that can't let it see the noon sun, boiled eggs with creamy mustard sauce, pancakes with apple filling, and potatoes and flour, with nuts and topped with syrup rolls.

Erica sat aside, not knowing what to talk about, so she simply told him how breakfast was made.

Charles chatted with her while eating, and the two got to know each other a little after breakfast.

Today's weather is good, with some wind. Walking on the path in the forest is not stuffy, and you can hear the singing of birds from time to time.

Like a bird on a tree, Erica introduced various plants on the roadside to Charles along the way, and excitedly took him to see a guard with two green leaves on its head and branch-like limbs along the way. Tree hunchbacks catch bugs on trees they protect.

The two walked all the way, watched and chatted, and soon came to a small basin in the mountain, and a waterfall about 100 meters high fell down on the cliff.

Erika pointed to the waterfall and said with a smile, "My house is right under the waterfall."

As soon as the words fell, several stones flew from the surrounding grass, and the target was Erica.

Charles just waved his hand, and the gravity of the space in front of him instantly increased, and the stone fell in front of them.

A group of children with particularly long canine teeth sprang out from the grass, pointing at Erica and shouting words like "monster" and "ugly monster", their expressions were very similar to those when Dudley insulted Harry before he was "educated" .

Charles just wanted to teach them a lesson, but Erica grabbed his hand, shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm used to it."

She said so, and Charles could only hold back.

Many vampires appeared along the way, the older ones took a detour, and the younger ones were the same as the children just now.

Charles understood somewhat. These vampires were all blond or black-haired and black-eyed, and Erica, who had white hair and red eyes, was different among them.

Soon after, a village appeared in the woods. There were no walls, and wooden houses were scattered among the woods.

In front of a wooden house with the first floor as the facade, a few vampire uncles held a pig, and a vampire aunt stabbed the pig's neck, and the pig's blood flowed out, followed by a wooden basin below.

They didn't drain the pig's blood. After a while, they stopped the pig's bleeding, pulled it away and replaced it with another one.

When Charles walked to the door, the vampire aunt poured a large pot of pig blood into the pot, then poured a lot of oats and chopped pig skin, and finally grabbed a handful of spice powder and stirred them together.

On the side, Uncle Vampire is putting casings on the machine.

Erica walked to the stall full of ready-made blood sausages. Before she could speak, the aunt asked her, "Erica, why did you bring the ingredients yourself today?"

Charles was taken aback, looked around, and soon determined that the material that the vampire aunt was talking about was himself.

"No, no!" Erika waved her hand hastily, "He's my friend!"

The vampire aunt looked disappointed, and Charles felt that if she was the ingredient, she would definitely keep some of it.

The vampire aunt asked again: "Why don't human beings eat it and bring it back? Did you fall in love with him?"

Erika's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hastily denied it, emphasizing that he was just her friend.

The vampire aunt said to Charles: "Well...you look pretty good. Young man, are you free to go climbing with me?"

Charles has a dark hair. If he was older, if Erica was not around, he might have agreed to the invitation of this "blood sausage Xishi" who still has the charm of a young lady.

At this time, the vampire uncle who was preparing the casings said: "Sister, your mother warned you not to play with food since you were a child, have you not repented at all?"

Then he said to Charles: "Young man, don't listen to my sister's nonsense, she loves to frighten people."

"You don't have to worry, you are still young, and your blood is not mellow enough to drink."

Charles didn't know what to say for a while, but he thought this uncle was quite easy to talk to.

Erika didn't dare to talk to them anymore, took two blood sausages by herself, dropped the money and left.

Erica's home is quite a distance from the village, along a stream that passes through the village upstream, and there is a two-story house by the pool under the waterfall.

There is a large flower field around the house, and there is a rotating water wheel behind the house. The water from the pump first flows into the water tank on the shelf next to the house, and the overflowing water is sent to several pools in the flower field through pipes.

Erika pointed to the waterwheel and said, "Marlene made this, so that when I was in school, the garden would not be watered."

Charles wanted to ask about her family, but immediately shut up. She was about to go out to work in the summer vacation, and she was probably the only one left in the family.

The two were walking on the path in the garden, and Erica said to Charles with a smirk, "You came just in time, and you will pick flowers for me on the night of the full moon in two days, but I won't pay you."

Charles also smiled and said, "No problem, but you have to take care of the food."

Erika pointed to the pool and said, "You can catch the fish yourself!"

After finishing speaking, she laughed out loud.

Charles laughed too.

The house is relatively ordinary, and after opening the door, it can be seen from the smell that no one has lived in it for a long time.

Erica opened all the windows, put the blood sausage in the kitchen, asked Charles to wait in the living room, and went to the village to buy some bread and vegetables.

Charles waited obediently, not moving around, but studying the row of photographs in front of the fireplace.

The photo on the far left is a vampire grandfather and a young handsome boy. There is a beautiful girl in the next photo. In the next photo, the pretty girl is holding a baby, which should be Erica.

It's just that in the next photo of Erica when she was three years old, there were only her and her grandfather. In the last photo, Erica was probably nine years old.

On the far right of the photo are two medals awarded by the German Ministry of Magic for the Sacrifice of Aurors.
