Chapter 153 The Granger House
"Hermione, don't try to lie to me. How could John be here at this time?"
That's what Michelle said, but after hearing this, she still subconsciously raised her head and looked around.
Then she saw John.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
After being stunned for a while, Michelle suddenly hid the hand she had just struck behind her back, as if she was hiding a murder weapon.
This left John speechless.
"Uh, you..."
As soon as John opened his mouth, Michelle stood up and said hurriedly:
"John, I'm not bullying anyone! This guy called Hermione Miss Rabbit, so I taught him a lesson!"
Hermione also reacted at this time and helped to persuade:
"Yeah, John, it's not entirely Michelle's fault."
Hearing this, Michelle quietly gave Hermione a thumbs up, turned to look at John with watery eyes and said:
"John, you won't scold me, will you?"
John sighed and said:
"Why would I scold you? I just...just remembered a few years ago."
As he spoke, John gestured to his height, "You were only that tall at that time and very cute. You followed me all day long, asking for food pitifully. But you have only been studying at Hogwarts for two years. This is …”
"Oh! John! Stop saying this, it's so embarrassing!"
Michelle's face suddenly turned red, and while speaking, she stepped forward and shook John's arm.
This scene looks like a complete act of coquettishness.
But only John himself knew that Michelle's strength was much stronger, shaking his arms so much that it hurt.
This made John shake his head helplessly.
He is actually preparing to cultivate Michelle into a gentle character like a nun.
As a result, Michelle let herself go more and more, becoming even more Gryffindor than Gryffindor.
While John, Michelle and Hermione were talking, the boy who was beaten had already escaped.
Hermione didn't care, and immediately invited John to her home.
Along the way, Michelle was like a sparrow, holding John's arm and chirping non-stop.
One moment he asked John why he suddenly appeared here, and the next moment he asked John if the situation in Jersey was okay.
Adhering to the decision not to let Michelle know about the nun's death, John dealt with it one by one.
At the same time, the Granger family also arrived.
This is a very typical small villa for middle-class families in China.
It is two and a half stories high, with red walls and black tiles, and there is a car parked in the yard.
"Dad! Michelle's brother is here!"
As soon as John and others entered the door, Hermione started shouting.
Immediately, a couple walked out.
Their eyes swept over Michelle and Hermione, and finally landed on John.
"You are, John."
Mr. Granger said.
That tone was like seeing a famous person who had been famous for a long time.
John smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Hello, Mr. Granger, and Mrs. Granger. I'm John Shafik, and Michelle has given you some trouble."
Mr. Granger was a little shy, and he kept laughing after shaking hands with John.
Mrs. Granger, on the other hand, held John's hand and said cheerfully:
"How can we say it is causing trouble? We really like Michelle, she is cute, gentle, and very sensible!"
John pursed his lips and did not answer the words.
If he hadn't seen Michelle beat the boy violently just now, John might still believe Mrs. Granger's words.
But now...
John turned to look at Michelle.
The latter was smirking at him.
Shaking his head, John entered the living room at the invitation of the Grangers.
The Grangers were very enthusiastic and chatted with John for a long time. They also brought out a lot of snacks and drinks - they felt that children like to eat these things.
After a while of pleasantries, John took out a quill pen from his deformed lizard skin wallet and handed it to Hermione.
"This is?"
"A gift for you." John explained, "An automatic shorthand quill. It can automatically record what others say at an extremely fast speed. Of course, you need to use it to write by hand for a period of time to allow it to memorize your words. Handwriting and writing style.
This step is crucial.
If your writing style is flashy during that time, the sentences you record later will also become flashy and unrealistic. "
Hermione looked at the blue quill in her hand and said excitedly:
"That's great, John! With it, I can write down everything the professors teach!"
"As long as you like it."
As John spoke, he put another bell into Mrs. Granger's hand, "This is the guardian bell, with the invasion spell, the expulsion spell and the overall protection spell attached to it. It is recommended that you place it on the bedroom door. In this way, the security of the home can be improved and some not-so-good things can be prevented from entering."
"Ah - thank you, John."
Mrs. Granger spoke with a very blank look on her face.
She didn't understand what the curses John was talking about at all, so she could only turn to her daughter for help.
"The Intrusion Spell is a charm that can detect intruders and trigger an alarm, somewhat similar to a burglar alarm. The Expulsion Spell can expel some things from a certain range. The Protection Spell is a very advanced defensive magic!"
As Hermione spoke, she frowned and said to John, "This is too expensive, John! And the Ministry of Magic has regulations that prohibit the use of magic items by ordinary people!"
John shrugged his shoulders and said:
"This is just a defensive item, there is no danger. And as long as none of us tell anyone, how will the Ministry of Magic know that there is such a magic item here? You know, magic items are circulated in ordinary society There are countless of them! The Ministry of Magic can’t control them!"
"But……"
"No buts, Hermione!" John interrupted, "You have studied at Hogwarts for two years. You should know that there are many weird and evil things in this world, right? Ordinary people have no way to deal with them! Yes! It will be a good thing for Mr. and Mrs. Granger to protect the family home with something like this!"
Hearing this, Hermione seemed to have remembered something, gritted her teeth, and finally nodded:
"Thank you! John!"
Mrs. Granger also understood the conversation between them, stepped forward again, held John's hand, and said sincerely:
"Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, Mrs. Granger." John smiled softly, "Compared to the help you gave Michelle, this little thing is nothing."
Mrs. Granger responded.
She and Mr. Granger had actually heard from Hermione and Michelle about John's achievement of receiving the 'Merlin Order of Merlin, Third Class' and saving the entire Hogwarts last year.
After educating their daughter, they already knew what an amazing achievement this was.
Therefore, in their eyes, John's image has always been that of a young and promising genius.
But when I met them today, I realized that John was not only outstanding in talent, but also very handsome.
The most important thing is that John also has a high emotional intelligence, and his behavior makes people feel very comfortable and normal.
This is much better than the Weasley family!
You must know that the experience with the Weasley family last year left a deep impression on the Grangers.
They had never been so embarrassed in their lives.
They even had a worry - if wizards were like this, wouldn't their daughters also become such weirdos in the future?
They cannot accept this result!
But after seeing John, they finally felt relieved.
My daughter still has normal friends around her!
And it’s still a very good one!
For a moment, both Granger and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Michelle sneaked up to John and stared at John eagerly.
The meaning is already obvious.
And John did not disappoint her. He smiled and put his hand into the deformed lizard skin wallet again.
