- #102 - Chapter 102 Another friend out of nowhere
Ian looked at the adult turkey on the table, which was about one meter long and weighed at least 40 pounds. The roasted skin was crispy and shiny, and it looked very appetizing.
But he knew that this thing just looked delicious. The meat of the turkey was not ordinary firewood, and even ordinary chicken breasts were more tender than it.
However, Ian still ate seriously. After all, his life in the apocalypse made him fully respect every piece of food. But not everyone has his philosophy, just like Hermione at this moment.
“Dad, I think you have forgotten how we ate turkey for half a month last Christmas… Oh my god, you actually bought a bigger turkey this time than last year.” Hermione said with some dissatisfaction.
“I was thinking that Ian would come this year, so I specially picked one that looked bigger.” Faced with his daughter’s complaints, Mr. Granger explained with a wry smile. “Ian, what do you think of the taste? I marinated it specially.”
“It’s not bad. It can effectively supplement the protein and calories needed by the human body. It’s a great food.” Ian also told the truth. If you ignore the meaty texture of the turkey itself, then this dish tastes really good.
But his words annoyed Hermione who was standing beside him.
The girl was a little angry that he did not stand on the same front as her, and said angrily: “Since you like me so much, I will give you my share in the next few days…”
After saying that, I still felt a little upset, so I kicked off my slippers and stepped hard on Ian’s instep with my foot.
The soft and tingling feeling made Ian stunned for a moment.
These little moves by the two of them might have been hidden from Mr. Granger, but they were watched by Mrs. Granger who was sitting beside them. But she didn’t say anything, just smiled with some relief.
She is still very satisfied with Ian. Her daughter actually told her everything, not only his life experience, but also his character, knowledge, etc.
Although she knew very well that there was definitely an element of beautification involved, things like being published in newspapers and being favored by professors to enter private clubs couldn’t be fake.
But the moment she saw the boy today, she was a little worried. The main reason was that his appearance was so annoying, and she always felt that her daughter would be bullied in the future.
She wasn’t worried about bullying from Ian. After all, she saw the interaction between the two children, including wearing rings in the afternoon. She saw that Ian really doted on Hermione.
So she made it clear at that moment that she was not allowed to make any noise, but in the end, there were still people who did not live up to expectations and deliberately coughed and caused trouble.
Thinking of this, he glared at Mr. Granger fiercely, and the latter also looked confused. Although he didn’t know the reason, it didn’t stop him from showing an apologetic smile.
In fact, what Mrs. Granger cares about is that her daughter is bullied by other competitors. She has also been a girl since she was a girl, and she knows very well that those girls really fight for it and use any means at all.
But Ian’s mind was all on dinner at the moment, and he didn’t care at all about the various dramas going on in the inner worlds of the other three people.
To be honest, he felt that Mrs. Granger’s cooking skills were quite good, especially the smoked salmon and fried cod on the side. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they controlled the heat quite well.
…
After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to watch a movie, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Granger did not take Ian to the guest room on the third floor, but to the empty room next to their master bedroom on the second floor.
After watching the movie, this middle-aged man went upstairs alone and started to tidy up the room. He called it euphemistically-the guest room was too small, and it was old and unoccupied for a long time.
In fact, Ian doesn’t care at all about these people who have slept on the blood-stained ground. Why does he still care about the old room? But seeing Mr. Granger’s plausive appearance, he just let it go.
Ian didn’t care, but it seemed that Hermione was in a mood again… She had stopped talking to her father from just now.
She just said a soft good night to herself, stepped on her rabbit head slippers and returned to the third floor alone. As for Mr. Granger, Hermione didn’t even look at him the whole time.
After washing and returning to the room, he entered the infinite space first. After all, he is not a native of the West, so he has somewhat neglected the traditional etiquette of giving gifts to each other at Christmas.
Although he didn’t prepare a gift, he couldn’t stand the piles of jewelry in his backpack, so he chose a necklace that didn’t look too luxurious but very exquisite, and a men’s handmade gold watch. This was what he gave to the Grangers. Christmas present.
As for Hermione, it was even simpler. Ian did what he wanted and gave Hermione the book that Dumbledore had left – “Ancient Magic – Analysis of the Patronus Curse”
He didn’t ignore Hermione’s expression when she saw Phoenix for the first time. He knew this girl with a strong personality very well.
Rather than letting her practice secretly in private, it is better to take out this book openly. At least having it as a reference will save Hermione from many detours.
After wrapping the gifts, he lay down on the bed and relaxed.
…
There was nothing to say all night. When Ian got up early the next morning, he found a candy box with the words Honeydukes on it at the corner of his bed. After opening it, I discovered that it was a box of various candies presented by Dumbledore, including a pile of cockroaches that Ian was obsessed with…
As for other people’s gifts, sorry, owls without addresses can only be delivered to Ravenclaw’s dormitory.
After knowing this, it really made him feel relaxed. Otherwise, if you want to find a person’s whereabouts, you only need to write his name on the letter and follow the owl? This is too absurd and cannot be justified by emotion or reason.
As for the admission notice, he guessed it was the magical tracking function of the Book of Admission.
…
When Ian came to the living room fully dressed and carrying wrapped gifts, he found Mr. Granger already sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and Mrs. Granger was also busy in the kitchen.
“Good morning, Ian, and Merry Christmas. The gifts are under the Christmas tree.” Mr. Granger put down the newspaper and said to Ian.
“Merry Christmas! This is a Christmas gift for you.” He handed the wrapped men’s watch to Mr. Granger, and then walked to the Christmas tree to get his own gift.
Unsurprisingly, the gift was very consistent with their profession, and the Grangers gave him a complete dental care kit.
Mr. Granger also opened Ian’s gift. He liked this men’s mechanical gold watch very much and quickly put it on his hand to appreciate it carefully. But before he could look at it for long, he was interrupted by a voice.
“You shouldn’t accept such an expensive gift from Ian. You know…” Mrs. Granger came out of the kitchen with breakfast. After seeing the gold watch, she couldn’t help but complain about her husband.
“You’re right, this is really too expensive.” Although he really liked it, Mr. Granger’s good upbringing made him agree with his wife’s point of view.
Although his wife did not continue what she said, Mr. Granger also knew the meaning. After all, Hermione had told them that Ian had lived alone before and even worked odd jobs in Diagon Alley, so He could not accept this precious gift under any circumstances.
“I think you misunderstood…” Seeing that Mr. Granger had begun to take off his watch, Ian had to explain. “I was really struggling to live alone before, but after school started, I received a letter from my mother’s friend…”
In order to deliver the Christmas gifts smoothly, Ian had no choice but to say sorry in his heart, and he began to make friends out of thin air for his late mother in the apocalypse…
