Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 462 "Christmas Eve John"
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Christmas Eve is the night after the little wizards go home on holiday.
Maca and the children were sitting at the long kitchen table in the old Black House, looking at the dark outside the window, the huge snowflakes were falling leisurely.
The kitchen tonight is decorated with various Christmas decorations.
Colorful ribbons are flying randomly under the ceiling, or red or white bubbles are rushing all over the floor. A Christmas tree with the top of the cupboard bent by the cupboard is stuck in the corner by the fireplace and gently sings. The Christmas song came to everyone's ears softly.
On this important day, Maca cast a muffling curse on the portrait of Sirius’ mother, lest she cursed constantly to destroy the rare atmosphere.
The children sitting on the right hand side of Maca are still silent, but at least they seem to be somewhat interested in today's kitchen, and occasionally glance around secretly.
By the way, the werewolf sister Lenny is here too!Yes, no matter how you look at it, she can only be regarded as one of the so-called "children".
"Fuck Maca, why haven't you started yet? Master Lenny can't wait!"
She has been saying similar things since early today.And Lena, who is always used to this baby sister, will give her something delicious or fun every time-that can make her stop for a few minutes.
But Maca is not Lena, how can I have the patience to appease this little girl?
Seeing him staring at the black window, Lenny, who knew he couldn't help it, ran into the kitchen with an impatient look.
At this moment, the wooden door of the kitchen was gently pushed open from the outside, and Lupin and Mondungus came in one after another from the outside.
Not many people are still here tonight, because no matter what, homeless people are always a minority.
Maca’s senior sister, Charlotte Witt, can actually be counted as one, but this time she stayed at Hogwarts.I heard that she is now preparing lessons with Professor Sprout. Maybe in the near future, she will be a professor's assistant at Hogwarts.
Of course, although she is also working hard in her own way.But Maca guessed that she probably couldn't be a professor, because her grades were actually average.
"Maca, Sirius has passed?" Lupin asked casually while sitting down at the table with Mondungus, "I don't seem to see him."
Maca turned around when he heard the words and smiled slightly.
"Yeah, it's over." He replied, "He said he wanted to give Harry a surprise, to show me... Hey, he really intends to do his family's duties for Harry's parents."
"It's not a duty, it's not a'task' for him." Lupin shrugged and said, "He is more enjoyment--enjoying the feeling of being a good father."
"He doesn't plan to get married at all?" Maca said, and then thought about it for a moment. "With his face alone, he can capture the hearts of many women? How can he be willing?"
Lupin couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
"Haha... he won't care," he paused, as if he was thinking of something, and recalled, "but, really...that girl from the United States seemed to mean something to him. "
"Abigail?" Maca said clearly, "I think so, but she and her sister have gone back together, and maybe they won't be here again..."
"It's a pity." Lu Ping spread his hand, but then he couldn't laugh or cry, "Hey! I don't think it's right to tell you this... I said Maca, when will your appearance catch up with you? Precocious heart?"
"Oh-" Maca leaned back in the chair with an innocent look, stretched out, "Don't count on it, probably...whoop...I won't catch up for a lifetime."
When Lupin and Maca chat casually,
"Hey, Dunge!" Lupin shot off the cigarette in his hand and glared at him. "There are many kids here! Don't take your stuff out and burn it."
"Oh, don't do that! Just a bite?" Mondungus hurriedly picked up the cigarette from the ground, and after hesitating for a while, he finally reluctantly stuffed it back into his dirty pocket. .
"Don't complain," Maca waved his hand and said in an angry manner, "Today is the children's Christmas. Are you planning to use your burnt and smelly leather boots to smoke Santa away? You want to be so. If you want to smoke, I will hang you upside down under the eaves outside and let you smoke enough by yourself!"
"Oh, I know..." Mondungus said with a smile, "I still want to stay and eat turkey! Besides, it's too cold outside, and my mouth can't hold cigarettes!"
At this time, Lena, who had finished her last meal in the kitchen, also walked out carrying a large plate, behind her with her sister Lennie who was holding fried chicken legs in her hand.
"It's okay, I'll add a strong permanent sticking curse to you!" Lu Ping said that, then stood up and said loudly, "Then, let's get started!"
"Everything is fine?" Maca asked Lena, and when she nodded, she immediately patted her palms.
In the blink of an eye, a wide variety of Christmas delicacies appeared on the originally empty long table.Steaming heat wafted from the plate, and everyone could not help taking a deep breath as the aroma overflowed.
"Listen to Lena, these days, you have always eaten in separate dishes?" Maca looked at the children and said, "They all take what they like to eat. If anyone walks out of the door tonight, It's not chubby, but I won't let him go—you know?"
The children nodded silently, and honestly began to add food to the plate in front of them.
"Oh, your words still work..." Lupin looked at these children helplessly.
"Give them more time!" said Maca, and glanced at Leni, "Although I don't expect them to become as unscrupulous as her, I believe that they can find it back somehow. Some are of their own character."
At this moment, the "unscrupulous" Lenny in his mouth was holding two large drumsticks, gnawing from the left and right, mouth full of greasy food.
"Lenny, don't just eat meat! Eat more vegetable salad!" It can be seen that Maca is in a good mood today.
This Christmas Eve dinner has been eaten for more than two hours.During this period, every child obeyed Maca's words and ate until they couldn't eat anymore.Although they are not doing it with their own wishes as the center, at least they really have a full meal because of this.
After the meal, Maca held a cup of fragrant eggnog, and began to think about the itinerary after this.
As for the children, after a short rest and digestion, they all went back to bed and went to sleep.
"Get up early tomorrow morning and come to the Christmas tree to pick up gifts. Remember?" Lupin said behind them, "Santa Claus will secretly put them by the fireplace at night, everyone has it!"
After sending the children back to the room upstairs, he came down again and sat back in the chair.
Tonight is a rare day off in the Order of the Phoenix. Although there is only one night, it is enough to let everyone relax their tight nerves.
"It's really been a while since I was so leisurely. I have forgotten how I passed the time when I was fine..." Lu Ping shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly and picked up his cup.
"How to pass the time?" Maca quipped, "Isn't it enough to stay in the screaming shed and howl a few times?"
"That's more than that!" Lupin suddenly missed the tunnel, "Although the memory of the transformation was always vague, but I still vaguely remember some-James and Sirius will always become Animagus forms, and then Fight with me. And the guy Peter would just stay in the corner and watch."
"That sounds good," Maca nodded, "If you want me to say, you can actually—"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the wall on the side of the kitchen.And the next moment, a translucent figure floated out of the wall.
"Ghost?" Maca said in surprise, "Who are you?"
Black’s old house had been cursed with fierce loyalty. Without the permission of Maca’s secret person, no one could find this place—not even a ghost.
"Who am I?" The white translucent guy looked around blankly, and said in a daze, "I am John Creech... this friend who is still alive, can you tell me where this is? ?"
"Where?" Maca frowned. "Don't you know where you are?"
"Oh... sorry," Ghost John apologized, "I am always lost... I'm really sorry!"
"John Creech?" Lupin seemed to think of something, so he couldn't help thinking.
"Don't think about it!" Mondengesi laughed, "He is the'John of Christmas Eve', hahaha... are you looking for a way home again?"
When Mondungus mentioned this, Lupin immediately showed a dazed expression.
"Oh, isn't it!" Ghost John sighed, "Without the directional curse, I definitely can't find it... Even if I am no longer afraid of being stuck in the wall and unable to get out..."
"Directing spell?" Maca curiously asked, "What's the matter? It seems that you all know it?"
"Yeah! He's been lost all his life," Lupin said amusedly. "It was like this during his lifetime, but he would still be like this after his death. Mr. Creech, I think you should go there!"
"Oh, thank you! Kind sir..." Ghost John thanked him, and then floated away to the opposite wall, "...By the way, I wish you all a Merry Christmas!"
Maca watched him drift away slowly, her face blank.Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
