Chapter 9 Sausage and Pork Knuckle

"Harry: Viktor and his fiancée are coming to England this afternoon, please receive them!"

Signed "Your Hermione".

Harry saw the letter after putting in the owl that kept banging on the glass.Harry glanced at the time dumbfounded, it was already 12 o'clock, and he was a little bit overwhelmed - the letter was written on a newspaper that was torn out later, and the content was today's "Daily Prophet", read carefully Look, in the blank space below, there are many small words densely written in scribbled notes:

"Oh, we're doing an amendment to the Restrictions, you know it's a lot of work, I'm too busy to forget about it... In fact, Viktor told me about it a week ago What happened... You know, Ron, he has always had a... well, animosity towards Viktor, even though I've explained it many times but... I remember you and Viktor always had a good relationship, huh Li, I asked them to go directly to the cold drink shop to find you, this time I really troubled you."

Harry hastily hung up the "Closed Business" sign on the cold drink shop, and pulled up the special magic curtain-this is a kind of translucent gauze curtain, through which the sunlight can still shine into the house, but the outside People can't see the scene in the house clearly—then the effect of the compound soup is lifted.For Viktor, only black coffee is enough, but his fiancée, Harry thought about it, made a pot of black tea.Harry felt as if he had forgotten something, but he was really in a hurry, so he forgot what he didn't know what it was.

When he was ready for all this, very punctually, the wind chimes jingled, and Viktor walked in with a petite lady.The last time I saw Viktor was the last Quidditch World Cup. In order to make up for the regrets of my student days, Harry bought a ticket to watch the final. Viktor led the Bulgarian team to win the championship that year— - He caught the Snitch with Bulgaria 130 points behind and ended the game with a 20-point lead to win his second Quidditch World Cup title.

Same as a year ago, Viktor was still the same, with a gloomy face, thick black and bushy eyebrows, a big eagle hooked nose, sallow skin, black and thin.The lady had brown hair and brown eyes, and was very ordinary-looking.Because of the same love for Quidditch, Harry has indeed maintained a fairly good relationship with the "world's number one Seeker".Although we haven't seen each other for a year now, we still don't look unfamiliar.They greeted each other and sat down by the window.Contrary to Harry's expectation, Viktor did not choose the black coffee specially prepared by Harry, but drank black tea with his fiancée.

Harry learned that three years ago, because of the resurrection of the mysterious man, the situation in the British wizarding world became very severe.Like many neutral pure-blood families, the Shafik family moved to Germany at this time, and their only youngest daughter, Belvina Shafik, also transferred to the Durmstrang Academy of Magic.Victor and his now fiancée Belvina met at that time.After graduation, Viktor continued to work as a Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team, and led the Bulgarian team to win the World Cup that year, and his relationship with Belvina gradually stabilized.Because of this relationship, the old Shafik couple simply settled down in Germany. Even if Voldemort had completely disappeared, they did not intend to return to England.

Compared with Hermione's amazing appearance when she packed herself up, Miss Shafik looked ordinary.No wonder Victor's fans are complaining about this - this Miss Shafik doesn't seem to have any match for Quidditch superstar Victor except for her family and blood.But as Harry communicated with them deeply, Harry found that she is a person who makes people feel very comfortable. When she looks at you with those brown eyes, you always feel that she is listening carefully Every word of yours, and her generous demeanor and gentle conversation also doubled Harry's favor.

"I was chasing Viktor back then!" She spoke softly and slowly, with a smile in her eyes, "I had a crush on Viktor when I was still at Hogwarts, but at that time He likes Miss 'Know It All' from Gryffindor." She paused, took a sip of her tea, and Viktor was not embarrassed to hear her mention it, just looked at him and smiled. "I didn't expect that I would transfer to Durmstrang later, when You-Know-Who was resurrected, and Slytherin's form was very tense." Her smile faded, "Everyone is standing in line, although the 'Death Eaters' Underage members are not accepted, but there is no neutrality in Slytherin. Professor Snape gave me some advice..."

Harry looked at her without blinking, waiting for her next words, but Belvina smiled and changed the subject: "Harry, actually I've always envied you and Professor Snape!" Harry was stunned, and subconsciously put down the teacup in his hand: "Why do you..."

Belvina blinked: "How would I know? I saw it in the corner at that time!" Harry's face turned red all of a sudden.

……

His first relationship with Snape began with a kiss, and Harry stole Snape's kiss through the mistletoe that was everywhere at Christmas time-it was his first kiss, full of tension Confused, he even bumped into Snape's teeth and hurt his own lip.It wasn't pretty at all, it was as if Harry had smacked Snape, who was about to reprimand him, hard with his own lips to stop the sarcasm that was about to come out of his mouth.Later, Harry always regretted his panic, which was very different from what he had imagined. There was no soft candlelight, no soft music, nothing, just a simple and even abrupt occurrence in a certain ordinary period in the castle. in the corridor.But he never regretted that kiss, and was grateful for it, as if suddenly a god's hand pushed aside the hazy barrier and spread everything in the air—even though Snape never gave him an accurate one. Answer.

Harry shyly turned away from the subject and invited them to stay for dinner instead, and Belvina happily agreed, offering to let Harry try German food.Belvina prepared the entire dinner by herself, and Harry just watched and helped in handling the materials.The dinner is very rich, garlic roasted pork tenderloin, fried sausage with French fries, pork knuckle with sauerkraut, vegetable salad and soup.

When Harry and Belvina came out with the floating tray, it was already dark, and the lights outside were lit, making the inside of the shop dim and warm.Harry saw Snape sitting on the chair with the same gloomy face at a glance, and finally remembered what he had forgotten about at noon - he forgot to tell Snape that he would not be there this afternoon.This is bad, Harry thought.Belvina at the side also saw Snape, and was a little surprised: "Oh, Professor Snape! Praise Merlin, you are still together!"

Snape's eyes suddenly became strange, and he looked at Harry quickly.Well now, Harry let the plates in the air fall smoothly one by one onto the table, maybe he didn't need to apologize for his forgetfulness tonight, he needed to give his lover an explanation.Harry tried to bring this matter over, but only asked everyone to eat first, and now Belvina also saw that something was wrong, and cooperated with him and pulled Viktor to sit down.

The sausage is infused with pork. It is fresh and tender, and it is slightly charred. When you bite into your mouth, the gravy slowly seeps out and has a strong taste.And the right curry taste neutralizes the greasy meat, and it goes perfectly with the crispy French fries on the side.The famous German pork knuckle has a golden and crispy skin, which absorbs the taste of the gravy, making it look juicy and thick, but not greasy. The meat wrapped under the skin has not been in contact with the fire, so it is delicate and tender.With beer, it can satisfy every meat lover.

Harry gnawed on the elastic skin, squinting his eyes contentedly. He tried his best to avoid looking in Snape's direction, and all explanations will wait until after dinner!
