HP's Foreign Land

Snow took the lead in stepping forward to hug Heimdall, and the pod cat had to jump away from Heimdall's shoulder. Before jumping away, he looked back at the toffee in Heimdall's arms sympathetically, and he would definitely be squeezed It's choking, it's pathetic.Even though he was thinking this way, Doudou quickly ran away by himself, and he didn't know to help Mr. Toffee by the way.

However, the prediction that the pod cat always guessed was wrong this time. Heimdall stretched out his right hand and put it behind the toffee as if he had expected it, so the toffee was not squeezed.The pod cat, who was patronizing his fleeing life and didn't think about brotherhood at all, looked at it, and the vinegar jar in his heart immediately swayed, and a little sour smell wafted out.

The pod cat always thinks that Heimdall treats toffee better than him. At first, he doesn't think so, and even thinks it should be, but he can't stand the "neglect" for many years - the heartbroken pod deeply agrees with this.The pod's mind is intelligent and deep, almost the same as that of humans. It will feel uncomfortable, happy, and painful... The most important thing is that it can learn, learn human behavior patterns and ways of thinking, and the longer it gets along with Heimdall, the more human it becomes culture, while also experiencing a unique negative emotion, such as jealousy.

Of course, the pod cat will not admit that he has a small nose and small eyes like humans, but the facts speak louder than words. What is Mr. Pod's series of behaviors if they are not jealous?

Doudou didn't realize what was wrong with his behavior. Just now, knowing that the toffee would be squeezed, he slipped away without saying a word, which was intensified by negative emotions.Of course, the pod will never hurt the toffee, and it will not tolerate others hurting the toffee. It has feelings with the toffee, but in some irrelevant occasions, the premise is that the toffee will not be harmed. Under the circumstances, it will be resolutely selfish, and the pod also has its dark side deep in its heart.

Although the dark side of the pod cat is so insignificant compared to the dark side of humans.

"They're all old cat demons, and they're still so naive." Victor muttered without looking sideways. Others may not have heard clearly what kind of hearing the pod cat is, and it is obvious that Victor was talking to himself , Miao Miao Miao, who became angry from embarrassment, rushed towards him.

He was embraced by Victor with both hands, easily caught, and held by the back of the neck.

The pod was suspended in mid-air, with nothing up or down, panicked, and dared not bark, because it couldn't afford to lose this person, no, it couldn't afford to lose this cat.

Victor held it in his hand, and scratched its chin with the other hand. The pod cat's aura immediately lost half of its momentum. It wanted to stand up, but it couldn't stand Victor's scratching. Seconds later, he comfortably screamed, his belly turned upside down.

【You are different from Toffee. Is Rig being nice to Toffee because Toffee is different from us, or do you want to be like Toffee? ] Victor told it earnestly in his heart.

For the first time, the pod cat did not contradict him. It glanced at Heimdall on the other side with its big round eyes. It didn't know what it was thinking. It lay quietly in Victor's arms and let Victor gently comb his body with his fingers. hair, just like an ordinary obedient pet cat.

After Heimdall exchanged greetings with Snow and Rommel respectively, the eyes of the three focused on Victor holding the pod at the same time.

[...Don't worry, as long as Rieg likes you, the Sturluson family is not a problem at all. ] The pod cat is not a real human being after all, it still doesn’t understand the intricate relationship between human beings, and human beings are not independent creatures in the true sense.

However, Victor could hear some clues through the words of the pod. It doesn’t like the Strulusson family. It’s not that it hates it, but it definitely doesn’t like it. The main reason should be Vasilyevich and Yulf. .

Victor smiled, patted its head, and strode towards Heimdall.

It was another exchange of pleasantries. This time it was definitely not as close as Heimdall's, but at least they were decent.Everyone discussed it and decided to find a place like a tavern to rest their feet. Of course, Rommel did not forget to bring the Great Elder with him.

Rosmerta, the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks Bar, is looking at the Christmas tree at the entrance of the store. Perhaps it is a psychological effect. She always feels that the tree is a little crooked. She used magic to correct it before, but the result is not satisfactory. Now I was squatting under the Christmas tree with a tape measure, and my movements were a little clumsy.

Ms. Rosmerta may not usually do this kind of work, and she didn't look at it when she stood up. She bumped into the branch of the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree shook twice, but she fell down and fell towards the road. Go, waved his hands subconsciously, and let out a piercing scream from his mouth.

The imminent pain and the accompanying ugliness did not come as expected. Rosmerta found himself supported by someone. To be precise, someone supported his back in time to avoid a possible head injury. blood flow.

Rosmerta turned around gratefully, and was elated when she saw the man standing behind her. Women, no matter how old they are, like to think of themselves as heroes saving beauty, not to mention the hero in front of her. Pianpian, Ms. Rosmerta blinked her eyes several times at once, which is commonly known as electric discharge.

Snow looked back for a moment without changing his face, and then decisively moved away from the other stare. Rosmerta felt a sense of loss in his heart.

It is undeniable that Rosmerta is an attractive woman with a pretty face and a curvaceous figure, so her shop never suffers from lack of business, and there are endless customers every day.Even in the intermittent low season of visiting family and friends for Christmas, the Three Broomsticks is still in full swing.

It was depressing to be ignored by the handsome guy, but Rosmerta quickly cheered up because she saw Jin Gallon hitting her head-on.

As a businessman, Rosmerta doesn’t only see handsome guys. The proprietress immediately put the crooked Christmas tree behind her, welcomed them into her bar very graciously, and took them to a window by the window. Seats with some privacy.

Rommel had been here with Heimdall before, and his overall impression of the store was not bad, so after sitting down, his expression seemed relaxed and casual, and people are only prone to panic in a completely unfamiliar environment.

Snow has a very direct way of judging, which is to see if the tabletops are clean and there is no greasy dirt left. The good news is that every table on the Three Broomsticks has been wiped clean.

On the contrary, Lange is the most easy-going among the few people. At his age, he will no longer have the interest and energy of young people to pick and choose. In addition, the three brooms are clean and there is no troublesome noise. The elder couldn't help but calm down, and the blackness on his face also receded a lot.

The three broomsticks' spacious, bright, clean and tidy space layout has won the favor of several men, and the shrewd Rosmerta can't help but smile.

Doing business is nothing more than doing what you like, and you have to be unique and self-contained.In Rosmerta's mind, the only Madam Padfo's teahouse that competes with her three broomsticks can only attract specific customers. Different, Rosmerta believes that everyone likes to eat and drink tea in a bright and comfortable room, Hogsmeade has no shortage of dark and dirty restaurants and bars, and the turnover of the Three Broomsticks is the best illustration, in short , she chose the right direction of development.

In fact, this lady missed one thing, and the charming proprietress also contributed to the growth of the turnover.

"Would you like to dine or..." Rosmerta then handed over a special menu for Christmas, and put the menu in front of Elder Lange with a wink, even though the old man was not related to the others No one will say that she is wrong if she does this.

"You can figure it out." Elder Lange said something in Icelandic impatiently, and pushed the menu to Rommel.

Rommel passed the menu to Heimdall, "Son, just order whatever you want."

This move was not opposed by anyone. Even if Lange wanted to fight against it, he had already blocked the retreat before.

Heimdall glanced at his father and Snow, then at Victor, and finally saw Lange. Lange squinted at him, as if he wanted to put pressure on him. Heimdall pondered for a while. There is no conflict of interest between them for the time being, so Lange's affectionate eyes were directly blocked by Heimdall.

"I want to eat." Heimdall looked up and said to the proprietress who had been waiting for a long time.

The proprietress smiled, "There are several Christmas specials in this menu, which are only served during Christmas. Would you like to try them?"

Heimdall looked at the special meal under the explanation of the proprietress, and then fell silent. Rosmerta was not sure whether he was satisfied or not for a while, so he said, "If you don't like it, you can order other ones. We also have special dishes in our store. Meals are served.”

"This Christmas special is very good." Heimdall hesitated.

"Then..." Rosmerta immediately agreed.

"Can you make an all-meat meal?"

Rosmerta was taken aback, "All meat?"

"Yes, do you think it's possible to replace the vegetarian food with meat?" Heimdall looked at the proprietress full of hope, with bright eyes, "Isn't it possible?"

After all, he came here from the business field, and Rosmerta immediately responded, "Of course, you can eat whatever you want." It has a strong self-confidence that "only you can't think of it, but we can't do it".

"However, in terms of price..." Rosmerta reminded that the price will definitely be different if the vegetarian food is replaced with meat food.

"As long as you bring things up, you will never lose a Nat." Rommel spoke.

Ms. Rosmerta grinned.

Then, Rommel, Snow, Victor and others also ordered things respectively, and Ms. Rosmerta left happily holding the menu.

Heimdall ordered Dopod a dessert called Volcanic Chocolate, which is said to be made only for Christmas. It’s hard to say what it tastes like, but Dopod is very happy to eat, and it seems to be quite appetizing.Toffee didn't eat anything except the candy Heimdall brought, which saved a lot of money.

After the meal was served, Heimdall was about to slurp, when two plates of scary food were pushed to his eyes, one from Snow and the other from Victor.

Snow and Victor glanced at each other quickly, and then quickly turned their eyes away, but they didn't take back their hands.

Snow had always been staring at Heimdall eating vegetarian food from before, and now he was hitting him with a gun, so naturally he would not let it go easily, so he ordered a vegetarian meal for Heimdall when ordering food.Although Victor's original intention is the same as Snow's, but the method is more gentle, adopting a method of persuasion, that is, a dish with meat and vegetables, that is, there are more vegetables.

Heimdall chewed painfully from left to right, looked at Rommel with tears streaming down his face, and looked at him sympathetically, thinking, only father is good in the world.

Rommel's sympathy turned out to be sympathetic, but he muttered in his heart: Can so many things be eaten?What about the glass of vegetable juice I ordered?

***

After the meal, under the caring gaze of his father, Heimdall drank the poor-looking vegetable juice with a disheveled face, feeling frustrated in his body and bent forward...

During the meal, Lange seldom spoke, not because the elder was particular about it, but because he never got rid of the feeling of being out of place. Even Victor Krum seemed like a happy family member.Why can't he?Lange was most angry here, he was actually compared to a real outsider.

When Rommel and Snow talked about a variety of sensitive topics that Langer considered to be an insider category, Krum not only did not avoid them wisely, but also participated in the discussion together. What surprised Lange most was that Long Mel and Snow had no intention of avoiding him at all, but instead naturally accepted him to discuss together.

Since Elder Lange knew the connection between Heimdall and Jolf, he naturally also understood the connection between Vasilyevich and Victor, but so what?As a wizard living in the twentieth century, even the appearance of the real Vasilyevich would mean nothing.With the unremitting efforts of generations of Sturlusons, the traces left by Vasilyevich in the Sturluson family have been erased one by one. Therefore, many Sturlusons today only know about Jolf, not Knowing Vasilyevich, coupled with the general withdrawal from Durmstrang in recent years, the only evidence that could prove the existence of the headmaster has also been abandoned.

Therefore, Lange didn't care about Vasilyevich at all. The Sturlusson family was paranoid and crazily looking forward to Yolf's reincarnation, but sneered at the object of Yolf's love.

Lange looked at Victor thoughtfully. Victor noticed that he was looking at him deliberately, and turned to him with a shallow smile. This smile could not explain anything, because Lange was on his face I didn't see any emotional expression on the Internet, no defense, no emotion, no anxiety, let alone flattery, which is commonly known as a superficial smile.

Lange looked calm, but was actually annoyed.

Victor's goal is to establish a good relationship with Heimdall's family. He hopes to gain the support of Heimdall's family, and hopes that the future relationship will be clear and justifiable. Someone else in the Sturluson family groveled.First of all, his self-esteem does not allow it; secondly, if he does this, where will he put the ancestors of the Krum family?

Want him to flatter a so-called great elder?Go dreaming!

"Victor is so powerful, he actually summoned Heliopa during the dragon fight!"

Lange couldn't help being stunned when he heard the suddenly raised volume. He forgot to be angry for a while, and didn't think about it for a while—the tone was sharp and deliberate, but he listened carefully, and then found that, just when he was alone When he was sulking, Heimdall had already started talking about the Triwizard Tournament with great interest.

Victor understood Heimdall's thoughts, and he cooperated very well, seemingly embarrassed. This kind of young shyness, pretending to be calm, and inner turmoil were vividly interpreted by Victor. It couldn't be more suitable for her age, "If it hasn't been summoned, this magic is still very immature, so it's not considered a success."

"But it's really useful. You successfully contained the flames of the fireball dragon." Heimdall insisted.

Rommel and Snow looked at each other, and then smiled at each other. They both heard the meaning behind the words, but just as Heimdall hoped, they did have a feeling of admiration for Victor.

Just a little bit!A certain father quickly added a sentence in his heart.

Both Rommel and Snow had the urge to look at each other differently, let alone Lange, and the tit-for-tat anger gradually faded. This change made Heimdall secretly relieved. Of course he didn't care what Lange thought of Victor. But he can't let Lange have a grudge against Viktor. This great elder can do anything. He was ruthless when he was young, but now he is old and knows how to restrain his edge. Heimdall believes that this is just an appearance, not On behalf of him, he changed his mind and became a good citizen.

In a big family that has been in business for centuries, some things must be done, some people must be removed, and some words must be said... Lange Westner Strulusson is such an incredible person Indispensable "must" characters.

Patriarch Rommel has to be courteous, he has to be on guard, he wants to protect Victor.
