Granger's house was very much in the style of Hagrid today. Many kinds of magical animals and creatures gathered in the living room, although the atmosphere did not seem very harmonious.
Mrs. Granger served the jellied eel that Grindelwald brought over. She served the jellied eel on a plate along with the sugar-free snacks and pumpkin juice. However, a giant snake had come to their house as a guest, so the Muggle who was afraid of snakes took a detour and sat further away from Nagini. However, she still asked her husband to prepare some food for the snake.
Emma, the swallow-tailed dog under the dining table, was startled. Although it did not tremble and growl at the giant snake in front of the baby's cradle because of its master's order, its erect ears, drooping stiff and forked tail all indicated its vigilance.
Similarly, Dobby, the giant snake in front of the Dark Lord, was also very unfriendly. When he was in the Malfoy's house, he knew some secrets about the Mystery Man and the origin of the giant snake. Therefore, he did not prefer to hide in his room as usual when guests came over. Instead, he insisted on hiding in the TV cabinet. His green eyes, which were as big as tennis balls, shot out from the cabinet door and never left Nagini. His long fingers were pointed in Nagini's direction, ready to strike.
"Gettler's cooking is good." Mr. Granger scooped a little of the gelatinous eel into his mouth and nodded with satisfaction. However, his eyes secretly glanced at the giant snake in the baby's cradle, as if he was worried that it would eat the baby.
"Allen, you don't like to cook? Shall I give you a piece of lemon for seasoning? " Mrs. Granger was more concerned about the 'prospective son-in-law' in her mind. She noticed Allen's awkward expression. "Gettler seems to have added some wine for seasoning when cooking it."
"Uh, I'm sorry. Actually, I don't like eating eel." Allen looked at the slippery jelly-like thing on the plate with an awkward expression.
Jellied eel was boiled in water. During the cooking process, the eel would release a gelatinous substance. After it was frozen in the refrigerator, the eel meat would be wrapped in the gelatinous substance and become jellied eel. But the most frightening thing was that there were no seasonings in it at all. The eel made in this way was super fishy, even if Grindelwald added some wine when cooking it.
"Mom, Allan likes to eat food with more layers of flavors." Hermione helped to explain Allen's taste to her mother. Then she turned to Allen and said, "Allen, if you don't want to eat it, give it to me. At least it's healthy."
"Cluck cluck!"
Ahn-Kha, who could understand human language, heard Hermione's words. It flew directly from her head to Eren and began to peck at the jelly eel. It remembered that Eren had eaten the vegetables that Luna threw to it. It understood that its mate hated this food, so it rushed to Hermione to help Eren. Moreover, the taste of phoenixes was different from humans. There were no messy seasonings, only the smell of the eel was highlighted. For Ahn-Kha, this dish was very good at restoring the original taste of the ingredients.
"Thank you, Anka." Allen stroked Anka's chin and noticed Mr. Granger's gaze. "Oh, don't worry about Najini. Although she doesn't look … too friendly, but don't worry. She has no intention of harming Delphi … In fact, she protected the child … She used to be an elegant and beautiful human lady. Unfortunately, she has the Blood Curse on her …"
As he spoke, Allen told the Grangers about Najini's situation and how he was willing to sacrifice himself for Delphi, using some artistic deletions to describe the situation in front of them.
Najini felt that her privacy was violated when Allen mentioned her. She slapped the ground with her snake tail in dissatisfaction. She wanted to complain to Allen, but Allen's praise of her elegance and beauty made her think of the possibility of the wizard being persecuted. The snake did not dare to say anything other than hissing a few times. She pretended that she did not hear anything and continued to look at the crib without turning her head.
However, after hearing about Nagini's background and the various deeds that Delphi had done, even Mrs. Granger who was most afraid of snakes was no longer as fearful as she imagined. She wanted to comfort the woman who seemed to have a 'bitter life', but the woman's stiff and twisted body and ferocious face stopped her from moving.
Mrs. Granger who was about to get up turned back and looked at her husband. "Dear, do you think we should renovate the house? Leave a door for Madam Najini? "
Mr. Granger nodded. "Good idea. If she wants to visit Delphi, we'll welcome her at any time. Allen, does Madam Najini usually have anything she likes to eat? Let's get Dobby ready. "
Hermione's mouth moved, but the words' it likes to eat people 'were stuck in her stomach.
Allen was stunned. He recalled that the snake was not picky about food and would eat anything, so he said a rumor. "Uh … I heard that she liked to eat croissants when she was still in human form. I just don't know how she is now." (Author's Note: During the filming of Fantastic Animals 2: The Sin of Grindelwald, a scene of eating bread was shot for several weeks to capture the sunset. It caused Najini's actor to eat a croissant.)
Najini also heard that Mrs. Granger wanted to leave the door open for her. Najini, who had been negatively affected by Lord Voldemort and hated Muggle, looked at the Granger couple with her cold snake eyes. After noticing that the Muggle couple was also looking at her, the giant snake's upper body slowly climbed up. When it reached a certain height, it let a small section of its upper body down to Mrs. Granger as if it was bowing to them. Then, it turned back to take care of Delphi.
Najini's attention was basically all on Delphi, who was sleeping in the cradle with a red face. In the baby girl's cradle, there were clean swaddling clothes that exuded the smell of sunshine, and the toys hanging on the cradle. Delphi was obviously taken care of very carefully.
Compared to when she was first sent here, Lord Voldemort's daughter had grown a few sizes. The silver-blue hair on her head, which was originally sparse, was now very dense. Because she grew in an environment that was not cold and dark all day long, it was shiny and shiny.
The only thing that seemed out of place was a black bird standing on a shelf on top of the cradle. Najini swung its tail a few times but could not chase it away. It did not seem to be afraid of the giant snake at all. It just stood there in a daze.
"On the third day after Delphi was sent here, this bird flew over from god knows where. It doesn't look very pretty." Mr. Granger noticed Allen's gaze and gestured to the black bird. "I heard Gatler say it's called a Divination Bird? It's not harmful, but do you wizards think it's ominous? "
"It's very close to Delphi. I even saw it using its beak to cover Delphi with the blanket. That's why we didn't chase it away and kept it," Mrs. Granger said, "It's just that it doesn't eat the food that we gave it."
"Yes, it's a Divination Bird. In the magical world, it's also known as the 'Irish Undead Bird'. Many wizards think that when it cries, it's a sign of death. That's why they think it's ominous." Hermione said as she nestled on the sofa. She had loosened the bun that she tied earlier so that Anka who had eaten the jelly eel could sit on her head comfortably. "Mom, you can write to the school and tell me directly if you encounter anything next time. You don't have to ask Grindelwald for everything …"
"You're prejudiced against our neighbor …" Mrs. Granger shook her head in disagreement. Then, she looked at the thunderbird Cotton who had been dozing off with his eyes half-closed on a huge cushion beside the sofa and teased, "It's a good thing that we didn't ask for your opinion on this bird. Otherwise, Delphi's cradle would definitely not be able to withstand the weight now."
"Mom! You're the one who fed Cotton at home! "Hermione's voice was a little anxious. She pointed at the two puddles of pets and tried to defend herself in front of Allen.
Hermione's action made Ahn-Kha, who was half-squinting, flick its golden tail. It followed Hermione's hand and circled around Cotton's body with its beady eyes. After that, it no longer paid any attention to the bird that couldn't fly and could only nest on the ground. It felt that Allen would definitely not like such a big fat bird. Moreover, this thunderbird and the little black bird were both males, which made the female phoenix feel very secure.
Allen also wanted to tease Hermione but he had to be careful in front of her parents so he could only hold it in. However, his gaze attracted Mr. Granger's attention this time.
"Hermione, you're the one who fed Crookshan." Mr. Granger pointed at the big fat cat Crookshan who was also sleeping on the stove that Allen's gaze was focused on. He added a stab to his daughter on behalf of his future son-in-law.
