Chapter 462 "John on Christmas Eve"

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! The second night after the little wizards go home from the holiday, it is Christmas Eve.

Maca and a group of children sat at the long kitchen table in Blake's old house, looking out the window in the darkness, where huge snowflakes were falling leisurely.

Tonight's kitchen is decorated with various Christmas decorations.

Colorful ribbons are flying randomly under the ceiling, and red or white bubbles are flying all over the floor. A Christmas tree whose top is bent by the cupboard is stuck in the corner by the fireplace, gently playing a song Christmas carols were delivered to everyone's ears softly.

On this important day, Maca put a silencing spell on the portrait of Sirius' mother, lest she spoil the rare atmosphere with constant cursing.

The children sitting on Maca's right were still silent, but at least they seemed to be somewhat interested in today's kitchen, and would secretly glance around from time to time.

By the way, the werewolf sister Leni is also here! That's right, no matter how you look at it, she can only be regarded as one of the so-called "children".

"Bastard Maca, why don't you start yet? Lady Leni can't wait!"

She's been saying similar things since early this morning. And Lena, who was always spoiling her baby sister, would give her something delicious or fun every time—that would give her a little rest for a few minutes.

But Maca is not Lena, how can she have the patience to appease this little girl?

Seeing him just staring at the dark window, Lainie, who knew she couldn't do anything about him, ran into the kitchen again impatiently.

At this moment, the wooden door of the kitchen was gently pushed open from the outside, and Lupine and Mundungus came in one after the other.

Not many people are still here tonight, because after all, the homeless are always in the minority.

Maca's senior sister Charlotte Werther can actually be counted as one, but this time she stayed at Hogwarts. I heard that she is currently preparing lessons with Professor Sprout, and maybe in the near future, she can become a professor assistant at Hogwarts.

Of course, although she is also working hard in her own way. But Maca reckoned that she probably wouldn't be able to be a professor, because her grades were actually mediocre.

"Maka, Sirius has passed?" Lupine asked casually as he sat down at the table with Mundungus. "I don't think I saw him."

Maca turned around when she heard the words, and smiled slightly.

"Yeah, it's over," he replied, "He said he was going to surprise Harry and let me see... Hey, he really intends to do a good job of being a family member for Harry's parents."

"It's not a duty, it's not a 'task' for him." Lupine shrugged. "He's more enjoying—enjoying the feeling of being a good father."

"He doesn't plan to get married at all?" Maca said, and thought for a while, "With his face alone, he can capture the hearts of many women, right? How can he be willing?"

Lupine couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

"Haha...he won't care," he paused, as if recalling something, and recalled, "but, to be honest...that girl from America seems to be interested in him. "

"Abigail?" Maca said clearly, "I think so, but she and her sister have gone back together, and maybe they won't come back here..."

"It's a pity." Lupine spread his hands, but then he couldn't laugh or cry, "Hey! Telling you this, I always feel that something is wrong...I said Maca, when will your appearance catch up to yours? Precocious heart?"

"Oh——" Maca leaned back on the chair with an innocent face, stretched her waist, and said, "Don't count on it, probably... Phew... Maybe I won't be able to catch up in my lifetime."

While Lupine and Maca were chatting casually,

Mundungus on the side couldn't help but secretly took out his cigarette again, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to secretly take another two puffs.

"Hey, Dunge!" Lupine said, flicking the cigarette out of his hand, and glaring at him, "there are a lot of kids here! Don't take your thing out and burn it again."

"Oh, don't be like this! Can't you just take one bite?" Mundungus hurriedly picked up the cigarette from the ground, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally stuffed it back into his dirty pocket. .

"Stop complaining," Maca waved her hand, and said angrily, "Today is the children's Christmas, are you going to use your smell of burnt leather boots to smoke Santa Claus away? Are you really that If you want to smoke, I will hang you upside down under the eaves outside and let you smoke all by yourself!"

"Oh, I know..." Mundungus said with a smile on his face, "I still want to stay and eat turkey! Besides, it's too cold outside, I can't hold my cigarettes!"

At this time, Lena, who finished the last meal in the kitchen, also came out with a large plate, followed by her younger sister, Leni, holding fried chicken drumsticks in her hand.

"It's okay, I'll give you a powerful permanent sticking charm!" After Lupine said this, he stood up and said loudly, "Then, let's get started!"

"Is everything all right?" Maka asked Lena, and when she saw her nodding, she immediately clapped her hands.

In the blink of an eye, a variety of Christmas delicacies appeared on the long empty table. Steaming hot air wafted from the plate, and the aroma was overflowing, and everyone couldn't help but took a deep breath.

"I heard from Lena, these days, you have been eating in separate plates?" Maca looked at the children and said, "You take what you like, whoever has a stomachache when they walk out of that door tonight?" Not chubby, I'm not letting him go—get it?"

All the children nodded silently, and honestly began to add food to the plate in front of them.

"Well, it's still your words that work..." Lupine looked at these children and said helplessly.

"Give them more time!" Maca said, and then glanced at Leni and said, "Although I don't expect them to become as unscrupulous as her, but I believe they can still get back to some extent." something of its own character."

At this moment, the "unscrupulous" Leni in his mouth is holding up two big chicken legs, gnawing left and right, and her mouth is full of greasy food.

"Leni, 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 lasted for more than two hours. During this period, every child obeyed Maca's words and ate until they couldn't eat any more. Although they didn't do it centered on their own wishes, at least they really had a good meal because of it.

After the meal, Maca held a glass of fragrant eggnog, and began to think about the itinerary after this.

As for the children, after resting and digesting their food, they all went back to bed to sleep.

"Get presents at the Christmas tree tomorrow morning, remember?" Lupine urged behind them, "Santa Claus will sneak up by the fireplace at night, everyone has one!"

After sending the children back to the room upstairs, he came down again and sat back on the chair.

Tonight is a rare rest day for the Order of the Phoenix. Although there is only one night, it is enough for everyone to relax their tense nerves.

"It's been a while since I've been so leisurely. I've forgotten how I used to pass the time when I had nothing to do..." Lupine shook his head slightly, and picked up his glass with a wry smile.

"How to pass the time?" Maca teased, "Isn't it enough to stay in the screaming shack and howl a few times?"

"That's more than that!" Lupine immediately said nostalgic, "Although the memory after transformation is always very vague, I still vaguely remember some——James and Sirius would always turn into Animagus form, and then Fighting while accompanying me. And that guy Peter just huddled in the corner and watched."

"That sounds good," Maca nodded, "If you ask me, you can actually—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the wall on the side of the kitchen. And the next moment, a translucent figure floated leisurely out of the wall.

"Ghost?" Maca asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Black's old house was cast with the Fidelity Curse, and without the permission of Maca, the secret keeper, no one could find this place—not even ghosts.

"Who am I?" The white translucent guy looked around blankly, and said in a daze, "I'm 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 said apologetically, "I'm always lost...I'm really sorry!"

"John Creech?" Lupine seemed to think of something, and couldn't help thinking about it.

"Don't even think about it!" Mundungus laughed and said, "He is that 'Christmas Eve John', hahaha... Are you looking for your way home again?"

When Mundungus mentioned this, Lupine immediately showed a dazed expression.

"Oh, isn't it!" Ghost John sighed, "Without the Orientation Charm, I definitely won't be able to find it... Even if I am no longer afraid of being stuck in the wall and unable to get out..."

"The directional spell?" Maca asked curiously, "What's the matter? It seems that you all know it?"

"Yeah! He's been lost all his life," Lupine said amusedly. "He was like this in life, but he's still like that after death. Mr. Creech, I think you should go that way!"

"Oh, thank you! Kind sir..." Specter John thanked, and then floated leisurely towards the opposite wall, "...By the way, I wish you all a Merry Christmas!"

Maca watched him slowly drift away with a dazed look on his face. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
