Chapter 1269 ?
Granger's house is very Hagrid-style today, and a variety of magical animal creatures are gathered in this living room, although the atmosphere does not look very harmonious.
The eel jelly brought by Grindelwald was put on a plate by Mrs. Granger, served with those sugar-free snacks and pumpkin juice. It was just a giant snake visiting the house, and the Muggle who was afraid of snakes deliberately went around On the way, she sat a little further away from Nagini—but she asked her husband to get her some food for the snake.
This startled the swallowtail dog Emma who was under the dining table. Although it didn't tremble and growl at the giant snake in front of the baby's cradle because of the owner's order, it pricked up its ears and drooped. The stiff and forked tail is everything to show his vigilance.

Similarly, Dobby's attitude towards the giant snake following the Dark Lord was also very unfriendly. When he was at Malfoy's house, he knew some secrets about the mysterious man and the origin of the giant snake, so he was not as usual at all. When guests come, I prefer to hide in my own room, but insist on hiding in the TV cabinet. The protruding green eyes, as big as tennis balls, shoot out from the crack in the cabinet door, and never leave Nagini's body. However, its long fingers have been facing Nagini's direction, ready to go.
"Getler's cooking skills are good." Mr. Granger scooped up a little gelatinous eel and put it into his mouth, nodding in satisfaction, but his eyes quietly glanced at the big snake in the crib, as if worried It ate the child.
"Alan doesn't move the spoon very much? Shall I bring you a piece of lemon for flavoring?" Mrs. Granger was more concerned about the 'son-in-law' she had in mind, and she noticed the embarrassment on Alan's face, "Getler seems to be cooking I added some wine to taste."
"Uh, I'm so sorry, actually I don't like eating eels." Alan looked at the slippery jelly-like things on the plate with a look of embarrassment.
Eel jelly is boiled eel. During the cooking process, the eel will release a jelly-like substance. After freezing in the refrigerator, the eel meat is wrapped in the congealed jelly-like substance, and it becomes eel jelly. But the most frightening thing is that there is no condiment in it at all. The eel produced in this way is super fishy, even if Grindelwald added some wine privately when he made it.
"Mom, Ellen likes to eat foods with richer tastes." Hermione helped her mother explain Alan's taste, and then she turned to look at Alan, "Allen, don't want to eat it for me, at least it's delicious. healthy."
"Cackling!"
Anka, who can already understand more human language, heard Hermione's words, flew directly over her head to Alan's side, and began to peck at the eel jelly. It recalled that Alan ate it for it and Luna threw it to it. understands that his spouse hates this food, and rushes over to help Hermione out of the siege, besides, for Phoenix, the taste is different from that of human beings,
There are no messy seasonings that only highlight the fishy smell of the eel. For Anka, this dish restores the original flavor of the ingredients very well.
"Thank you, Anka." Allen stroked Phoenix's chin hair with his hand, and then noticed Mr. Granger's gaze, "Oh, please don't worry about Nagini, although she doesn't look very friendly, please Don't worry, she has absolutely no intention of harming Delphi... In fact, she protected the child... Even she used to be an elegant and beautiful human lady, but unfortunately she has a blood curse on her body..."
As he said that, Allen narrated Nagini's situation, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for Delphi's affairs, in front of the Grangers with some artistic deletions.
Originally, her own matter was mentioned by Allen, which made Nagini feel that her privacy was offended, and she patted the ground in dissatisfaction. She wanted to complain to Allen, but Allen praised her again for her elegance and beauty, which reminded her of her love for her. The wizard's delusional guess about the purpose of being murdered made the big snake dare not speak except for hissing a few times, pretending not to hear it, and continuing to look at the crib without turning its head.
But after hearing about Nagini's background and Delphi's actions, even Mrs. Granger, who is most afraid of snakes, is no longer as afraid as she imagined. She wants to comfort this very-sounding She is a hard-working woman, but the other party's stiff and distorted figure and hideous face still deter her.
Mrs. Granger, who was already about to get up, shifted her focus back and looked at her husband: "Honey, do you think we should renovate the house? Leave a doorway for Ms. Nagini?"
Mr. Granger nodded: "Be careful, if she wants to visit Delphi, we are always welcome, Ellen, does Ms. Nagini have anything she likes to eat? Let's get Dobby ready."
Hermione's mouth moved, and the words 'it likes to eat people' were deflated in her stomach.
Allen was stunned, recalled that the snake was not picky and would eat everything, so he told a rumor: "Uh... I heard that she liked to eat croissants when she was still in human form, but I don't know So now." (Author's note: During the filming of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a bread-eating scene took weeks to capture the setting sun, causing Nagini's actor to injure the croissant. )
Nagini also heard that Mrs. Granger wanted to reserve a door for it. She was already deeply influenced by Voldemort and hated Muggles. Then Nagini looked at Granger, who had been ignoring his attitude, with cold snake eyes. Mrs. and Mrs. Jay, after noticing that the Muggle couple was also looking at it, the upper body of the giant snake slowly climbed up to a certain height, and let Mrs. She gave a general salute, then turned around and continued to look after Delphi.
And Nagini's attention was basically all on Delphi, who was sleeping in the cradle with a flushed face. In the baby girl's cradle, those clean swaddling clothes exuding sunshine, and the toys hanging on the cradle, it is obvious that Delphi has been taken care of very carefully.
Compared with when she was first sent here, Voldemort's daughter has grown a few times in stature at this time, and the silver-blue hair that was originally sparse on the top of her head has grown very thick, because the growing environment is no longer cold and dark. The ground of the eyes is shiny and shiny.
The only thing that is a little inconsistent is that there is a black bird standing on the shelf on the top of the cradle. Nagini flicked its tail several times but failed to drive it away. stand there.
"On the third day after Delphi was sent here, this bird came from nowhere, and it doesn't look very beautiful." Mr. Granger noticed Alan's gaze, and gestured to the black bird After a while, "I heard Getler said what is it called the auspicious bird? It won't be harmful, but do you wizards think it is unlucky?"
"It is very close to Delphi, I even saw it pick up the corner of the quilt in its mouth and cover Delphi with the quilt, so we didn't drive it away, but kept it." Mrs. Granger said, "It's just It doesn't eat much of the food we give it."
"Yes, it is a divination bird. In the magical world, it is also known as the 'Irish phoenix'. Many wizards believe that when they cry, it heralds death, so they think it is unlucky." Hermione said. Nest on the sofa said that she had torn apart the bun she had tied up earlier, so that Anka, who had eaten eel jelly, could squat comfortably on her head, "Mom, next time you meet something, you can directly Write to the school and tell me not to ask Grindelwald everything..."
"You are prejudiced against our neighbors..." Mrs. Granger shook her head disapprovingly, and then looked at the Thunderbird who was squatting on a huge cushion beside the sofa, half-closed his eyes and dozed off in a pool since the morning Cotton joked, "Fortunately, we didn't ask for your opinion on this auspicious bird, otherwise Delphi's cradle would definitely not be able to bear the weight now."
"Mom! You fed Coton for me at home!" Hermione's voice became a little anxious, and she pointed to the two puddles of pets to defend herself in front of Ellen.
Hermione's movement caused Anka, who was half-closed, to flick his golden tail. It followed Hermione's hand and swayed Cotton's body with its small eyes, and ignored the one that couldn't fly. As a bird that can only nest on the ground, it feels that Allen will definitely not like such a big fat bird. Besides, this thunderbird and the little black dotted bird are both male, which makes the female phoenix feel very safe.
Allen also wanted to tease Hermione, but he had no choice but to hold back because he needed to be careful in front of the other's parents. However, his gaze caught Mr. Granger's attention this time.
"Hermione, but you fed Crookshanks yourself." Mr. Granger pointed to the big fat cat Crookshanks who was also sleeping in a puddle next to the stove when he noticed that Alan's eyes were focused on. , Instead of the son-in-law, he made up for his daughter.
