"Honey, have you ordered the cake?" A middle-aged woman wearing a beige windbreaker put a bag of dried fruits into the trolley and looked at her husband.
"Of course, we can pick it up tomorrow afternoon. This time I ordered a stake cake. We can also buy some small decorations in the store and then go home and make the cake ourselves - it's time for you to show off your skills." The gentle husband next to the trolley
He answered absentmindedly, as he was looking at the shopping list in his hand, "By the way, then I have crossed out the dried cranberries and dried apples?"
"Of course, this bag of dried fruits contains all the dried fruits I need." The middle-aged woman reached out and took the list and crossed out all the dried fruits on it.
"Let me see, I need to buy a turkey and prepare some other meat..."
“Are we really going to make turkey?” My husband’s head got big when he heard the term. If we were to make a list of all the flashy foods in the world, turkey would definitely be at the top of the list. After roasting turkey,
It looks red and big, sitting on the dining table. Just one look at it can arouse the appetite of diners. So much so that turkeys can be found in all Christmas-related movies and TV series. But if you observe
If you look carefully enough, you will find that the appearance of the turkey has not changed much from beginning to end.
The reason is that it is really unpalatable!!! Under the bright red skin there are muscles as dry as paper, without a trace of fat! In addition, the turkey has a huge body - one is as big as the upper body of a human being.
, making it extremely unpalatable. How unpalatable is this thing? Even in Disney, a turkey leg as big as a human face only sells for 80 yuan. This is still the most delicious part of the turkey.
That turkey on Christmas Eve will make turkey sandwiches the family's staple food for the next week, which is a nightmare.
"What are you thinking? Of course I'm going to do it!" His wife glared at him, "I remember little Tom will come over for Christmas today, right? You can eat with him."
"I think this will really hurt the relationship between him and our daughter." The husband complained in a low voice about his wife's decision, then reluctantly walked to the fresh food section, picked up a small one, and took a look.
It was just an underage turkey. But when his wife came over, he shattered his last stubbornness and replaced it with a large turkey weighing twenty pounds.
This couple is Mr. and Mrs. Granger who are shopping for Christmas supplies. This Christmas, their baby daughter will bring her little friend Tom to their home for Christmas.
Although their daughter has not told them clearly about her relationship with Tom, the Grangers can generally guess it. However, both parties have maintained a tacit understanding and have not broken this layer of paper. The relationship between the three is currently at a standstill.
in a delicate balance.
After all, the children are still young, and the relationship between the two is highly variable. Maybe they will break up one day? Who can say for sure about the feelings of half-grown children? This is the Granger couple's point of view.
After Mrs. Granger picked some fresh meat, ham, sausage, and cheese from the counter, she left the fresh food counter with her husband and the turkey.
Next, the two of them continued to buy supplies according to the list they had made in advance. By the time the list was cleared, the shopping cart was already full.
"So what do you think?" Mrs. Granger suddenly asked Mr. Granger in a confused manner while queuing at the checkout counter.
"What do you think?" Mr. Granger was stunned and did not respond.
"What do you think of Tom?" Mrs. Granger rolled her eyes at her husband: Why does this man look like a piece of wood?
"Uh, it seems pretty good?"
Mrs. Granger was speechless.
"Then what do you think will happen if he keeps going on with Minmin?"
"Ah, what else can we do? Get married?" Mr. Granger gave his wife a strange look. He didn't quite understand what she meant. Could it be that she was still a non-marriage person? I didn't see it!
It's outrageous that a marriageist actually got married.
Mrs. Granger wanted to hit someone.
"I mean-"
Mr. Granger finally understood what his wife meant, "I think they are suitable. Do you think Tom's background is not good?"
Mrs. Granger was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"But if she wants to develop in the wizarding world, how can the two of us help?" Mr. Granger became worried, "Maybe it will be of no help. If Hermione marries into a wizarding family in the future, what kind of help will it be?
What should I do if I bully her? Can you help?"
Mrs. Granger:...
"And this kind of thing depends on Min Min's attitude after all, doesn't it?" Mr. Granger shrugged his shoulders and moved the items in the shopping cart to the conveyor belt bit by bit.
As night falls, Christmas is getting closer.
…
Harry felt as if his heart was being pinched by something.
"You mean, leave the Dursleys and live with you?" Harry suppressed his excitement and confirmed with Sirius. He was really afraid that he heard wrongly and was happy in vain.
"Ah, that's not what I meant. What I wanted to say is that if you want, you can try staying at my house for Christmas first. However, no one has lived there for a long time, so I'm afraid it will be very messy. Anyway, if you want to stay at your uncle's house,
If so, I can completely understand, haha - I just feel -"
Sirius was even more nervous than Harry. In his opinion, how could Harry leave his aunt and uncle and choose to spend Christmas with a godfather whom he had never met before and who was even wanted?
Sirius had no idea what kind of life Harry lived with the Dursleys. He subconsciously thought that he was happy there.
"Of course I do!" Harry said hoarsely, "You have a house? When can I move in? Don't worry about hygiene or anything like that. I'm really good at cleaning."
Sirius suddenly turned to look at Harry, with a look of disbelief on his face. He didn't expect that Harry actually agreed, and a joy filled his heart.
"Are you really willing? You don't have to do it just to accommodate me -"
"I really do!"
Sirius smiled, this time he laughed very happily, easily and freely. He hadn't laughed like this for a long time - about twelve years. Sirius seemed to be ten years younger when he smiled like this.
Before he smiled, no one would realize that he was just a man under 35 years old. This smile made him look like a man of his age.

Note: Hermione's nickname is not mentioned in the book, but there is a nickname called Hermy. I changed it slightly and asked the Grangers to call her Min Min.
Today we would like to introduce the third generation Minister of Magic: Perseus Parkinson.
