Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 26 Family Dinner

"Call me Cousin Tonks!" She said, putting on a pretending serious face.

"Okay, Nido." Unyielding, Tangning agreed quickly.

"Forget it, sister is in a good mood today, I won't argue with you!" Tonks put her hand on Tangning's shoulder, looked at Hermione's retreating back, and smiled: "My cousin is just different, so this is not the case. Halfway through the year, I hooked up with a little witch at Hogwarts."

After breaking away from Tonks' hand, Tangning retorted: "What is hooking up? It's so ugly to say! But you, shouldn't you be participating in Auror training now? Have you been eliminated?"

After saying that, Tangning took two steps back, looked at Tonks up and down with wide eyes, touched her chin, curled her lips, and pretended to be cliché: "How long has it been since you passed the Auror exam? Alas, Nido , you really disappoint me."

Seeing that Tonks was showing signs of threatening her, Tangning took two steps back and quickly changed the subject: "Cousin, let's go home quickly. I'm starving."

"Hmph!" Tonks said coldly, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, "Let's go, push the luggage cart by yourself!" But the pink hair really ruined the mood.

On the way, cousin Tonks told Tangning that she had taken leave in advance because the Auror training was boring.

This made Tangning doubt whether her training results were up to standard.After passing the initial Auror examination, one to two years of competency training is required before formal employment.Aurors are the Ministry of Magic's first line of defense against dark magic. A wizard who has just graduated from school cannot meet the standard requirements.

When Tang Ning returned home, hot meals were already prepared on the dining table. Influenced by Tang Ning, Mrs. Tonks had a lot of research on Chinese food, although she often cooked it in a nondescript manner.But for Tang Ning, this was enough. After all, talking about the delicacies of the British Empire would make her cry!

For example, tonight, Tang Ning saw at a glance the braised chicken, a specialty food that has become popular throughout Greater China, with a whole bowl placed in the middle of the dining table.The obviously larger chicken drumstick in the basin silently told Tangning that this was actually a braised turkey dish that was very characteristic of Mrs. Tonks...

During the meal, Tang Ning briefly introduced her life at school and various interesting things.But not long after, cousin Tonks mentioned the little witch she saw at the station. Then, she waved her wand, and a stream of white smoke shot out from the tip of the wand, gradually forming a magical picture in the air. The one that can still move is exactly the scene when Tangning and Hermione said goodbye.

"This is a new method I learned during training. It can effectively replace a camera." Cousin Tonks said proudly.

After that, the topic went sideways. Ted began to introduce some effective methods to Tang Ning to chase girls. Andromeda looked at Tang Ning and Ted teasingly. As for cousin Tonks, she had become a soy saucer.

Tangning was helpless: "I'm only 11 years old, Uncle Ted."

"You're not young anymore, Tangning, you are no longer a ten-year-old child." Andromeda interrupted.

Tangning: "..."

"Yes," Ted agreed, "I think my first love was..." After saying this, Ted paused slightly, as if he realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly made up for it: "It was your Aunt Anduo, we We’ve known each other since we were 11 years old.”

After saying that, he glanced at Andromeda guiltily.

Tangning remembered that Ted used to call Andromeda his first love, but now it seems...

After this short episode, Tangning's matter was finally brought to light, and Ted still had to think about how to explain it that night.

Tangning glared at the instigator, but he didn't care at all. She still had time to change her hair into straight violet hair at the dining table.

After a fairly pleasant dinner time, they began to sit by the fireplace and chat. When Tangning took out the magic ban notice she received when she left school, Mrs. Tonks threw the notice directly into the fireplace.

"Just don't use it outside the house." Andromeda said casually. Ted and Cousin Tonks both looked unfazed. It seemed that they had experienced it a long time ago.

After hesitating for a moment, Tangning did not tell her about her encounter with the troll. Even if she thought about it afterwards, it was still a thrilling incident.

When Tang Ning talked about the secret passages in Hogwarts, cousin Tonks suddenly asked Tang Ning very excitedly if he wanted to learn the Disguise Charm. She also boasted that she had used the Disguise Charm to travel to the Forbidden Forest alone. Not discovered by Hagrid...

Then she was scolded by Andromeda. Going to the Forbidden Forest alone was indeed a dangerous act. "Well, actually I'm not the only one!" She muttered aggrievedly.

In the end, Andromeda agreed with cousin Tonks to teach Tangning the Transformation Curse, but she also reminded Tangning: "Never venture into the Forbidden Forest alone. If you really want to go, you can take the little witch with you..."

Well, the above was just a joke by Mrs. Tonks. In fact, the outside of the Forbidden Forest is not dangerous. The real danger is inside the Forbidden Forest. That is where Mrs. Tonks forbids Tangning to go.

In Mrs. Tonks's opinion, appropriate risk-taking is not a bad thing. She never wants her child to be a dogmatic person.

Then, Tangning remembered the question that had been bothering him for more than a month. As to why Dumbledore wanted to protect Quirrell, he decided to ask his family.

Tangning told the story in great detail, including Quirrell's secret release of the curse, Dumbledore's interception of Professor McGonagall on the way, and what he kept secret.

"It's impossible for Quirrell to release the curse, but Dumbledore is covering up Quirrell for some unknown reason." This was Tangning's conclusion.

Ted thought for a while and put forward his point of view: "There has always been a view in the wizarding world that the mysterious man will eventually return. Maybe Dumbledore is more willing to put the danger under his own control. After exposing Quirrell, , it is very likely that another Quirrell will appear, but he may not be as easy to find as Quirrell, which will cause Dumbledore to lose control of the danger. It is better to face a known enemy than an unknown danger. "

Tang Ning didn't know whether this was the truth, but it was Dumbledore who led the wizards to fight against Voldemort more than ten years ago. He was the only person in the British wizarding community at that time who could confront Voldemort head-on without falling behind. Without Dumbledore, Yes, wizards may not be able to wait until Voldemort falls.No one would have suspected that Dumbledore would harm Harry Potter.

Ted's idea was very agreeable to Tonks and his daughter. Of course, there was a possibility that they didn't mention, and that was that Tangning was really wrong.

The family gathering soon came to an end, and Tangning returned to the room she had not seen for a long time. The starry sky model on the ceiling was still the same as before, making Tangning suddenly forget that he had been staying at Hogwarts for more than three months.
