Vol 2 Chapter 693: chewing gum

Not too far out of the platform, Hermione ran to the Grangers who were waving at them with a smile. Mr. Granger hugged his daughter, lifted her up and turned her a few times, and rubbed the tousled hair on top of Hermione's head.
After Hermione got out of her father's arms with a little embarrassment, she introduced Helena to her father.
For the Grangers, they had a little witch and saw the magical world. This was already a surprise to them, but today they saw a ghost for the first time in their lives.
At this moment, he was being introduced to a ghost, which frightened Mr. Granger. He looked around and found that it seemed as if the people around could not see them, a ghost appeared at the station in such a fair manner, and the pedestrians who came and went turned a blind eye.
Compared to Mr. Granger's strong self-compression, Mrs. Granger's gaze did not dare to look at Helena. She was pale and held her daughter's hand tightly.
"Hello Helena." Mr. Granger took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Helena also reached out to him. At the moment they touched. Mr. Granger felt the cold invade his skin, and the cold sensation spread along his arms to his body, continuously downward. He tried his best to calm down, hoping to stop the shaking of his thighs and slow his heartbeat.
"Helena is the ghost of Ravenclaw's college, very friendly, don't worry." Hermione quickly soothed and comforted her by massaging her mother's sweaty hands.
Mr. Granger tried his best not to keep his eyes on Helena for too long. Although his fear was mixed with curiosity, he soon discovered that this ghost girl was arrogant but very polite. Although cold and frosty, it did not show some hostility to them that it was said to be a pure-blood wizard.
When they came to the parking lot, Mr. and Mrs. Granger and his wife sat in the front row, while Allen's four people and one ghost crowded in the back row. Helena floated diagonally in the air above Emily and Allen, unblinking as she watched Mr. Granger start the car and control the steering wheel.
"Dad, because of Helena's physique, Ellen can't use magic to take her back..." Before Hermione explained her words, Mr. Granger interrupted her and promised, "Don't worry, baby, I will send your classmates home safely."
"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Granger. But no trouble, I can drive. After I send Luna and Helena home, I will return the car immediately." Allen said quickly, borrowing The car is already embarrassed, how dare he bother Mr. Granger running around.
"Are you 17 years old? Time flies so fast... Hermione's 1979 seems to be a bit older than yours of the same year. She had applied for it before. Both multiple-choice questions and simulated short film tests got full marks, but she took the road test The car drove to...cough..." Hermione, who had been told about the embarrassment in public, lay on her classmates frantically, and passed over and hammered her father. Mr. Granger coughed because of the sudden blow." Uh... but Alan passed so quickly? That's really amazing... I also passed the exam many times."
Alan, who was only planning to use a confusing curse if she encountered a Muggle police check, gave Hermione a pleasing smile to keep her secret, and then followed Mr. Granger's words: "Good luck."
Mr. Granger’s car was playing his favorite music, and it was moving forward among the many buildings, but the traffic situation in London was not optimistic, and there were some traffic jams, so the car was not moving fast. After a long time, Under the shaking of the car, except for the ghosts who are curious about London in this era, the passengers dozed off because of boredom.
I don’t know how long it took. When Hermione woke up, she found that Ellen beside her was asleep leaning on the window of the car, while Emily was half leaning on his arms, with long curled eyelashes like a butterfly. His wings hung quietly on his face, looking very sweet. On the other side, Luna's long golden curly hair covered half of her face, sleeping peacefully.
Even Helena, who was floating in the air, put her head across the roof of the car and looked at the view of the street. Hermione couldn't help showing a smile on her face. In the sound of the car's motor, in this small square inch , Her heart felt very peaceful, and a warm feeling emerged spontaneously.
Hermione tilted her upper body and looked to the front left. Her mother was also asleep. She must have gotten up early to welcome her. She pursed her lips guiltily.
Then, Hermione looked into the right front cab through the rearview mirror. She was horrified to find that her father who was driving was also closing his eyes. Hermione's cold sweat suddenly appeared from her body, and she couldn't see any warmth or sleepiness. After flying, she yelled in a high-pitched sound that she seldom usually makes: "Dad, wake up!"
Then, under the influence of Hermione's scream, the passengers in the car also screamed in a chorus-Mr. Granger was the last to wake up.
Because everyone was not sleepy, the car finally drove outside Hermione's house without any risk. Although it was still less than four in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened and dark clouds gathered. Mrs. Granger looked at the sky, and was a little embarrassed to think of the stupid thing her husband had just done, so she politely invited Allen and the others: "It looks like it might rain heavily in a while. Please pay attention to driving safety when driving in rainy days. It's better to come in. Drink a little hot drink and eat something sober, right?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Granger." Allen helped Mr. Granger take out all the salutes belonging to Hermione in the trunk. "It's just that the journey is far away, so there is no more delay. I want to hurry up before dinner. Going back, I can’t let the food my mother prepared so hard to waste."
Hearing this, Mrs. Granger did not insist, but was very satisfied with Allen’s attitude towards her mother. Mr. Granger took out some sugar-free chewing gum from the trunk that had not closed the lid and gave them to them,
On the way Chew it to avoid the boredom and sleepiness of the journey."
"Mr. Granger, thank you. After I send Helena home, I will be able to send the car back immediately." Alan took the gum, sat in the driving seat, and said goodbye to the Granger family. No trace of Hermione was found.
Luna sat in the co-pilot next to Allen, and Emily took out her backpack from the trunk and sat in the back row alongside her niece Helena.
"Allen, bring this map." Hermione, who had just hurried back to the room, ran over holding a map and passed the map to Allen from the car window. After all, Allen did not drive home on weekdays. Then, Hermione worried that he could not find a way, "See you in a few days."
"Thank you, Hermione, it must be useful. You are always so considerate. Let's see you in a few days." Allen applauded, Hermione is always so methodical.
"Safe journey, pay attention to safety." Hermione, who was blushing with Allen's praise, urged. The Granger family of three watched Allen start the car, drove away, and waved goodbye to the car they were driving away. Although he was a little unaccustomed to this kind of cab in the opposite position, Allen, who deliberately wanted to reassure the Grangers who had not asked to check his driver's license, still performed very skillfully.
"Luna, Emily, the journey is far away, do you want to Apparate and go home first?" Allen asked.
"No, I want to take the car." Luna looked at the steering wheel that Allen was holding with interest, "When I get to your house, I will apparate and go home again."
"I want to accompany you in the car too." Emily replied with her backpack cleverly.
The sky is getting darker and darker. In this gloomy city, the red traffic lights and blocked roads make the passing drivers anxious. The rain drips from the air. Allen looks at the tape in Mr. Granger’s car. , I picked up a disc and inserted it into the player of the car. A song "The Sound Of Silence" poured out in the car.
While watching the road, Allen took the opportunity to introduce Helena to her home: "We live in Dorset. The famous magical zoologist Newt Scamander and his wife Tina Once living here, Panglock, the magical creature that loves to guard horses, has a habitat in our area..."
Luna opened the map and pointed out the location of this county on the map: This is a county in southwest England, on the north bank of the English Channel. Dorset is adjacent to Devon to the west, Somerset to the northwest, Wiltshire to the northeast, and Hampshire to the east. Both Wimborne and Millburn are located in this county.
"Your grandpa and I's house is here." Luna pointed to Devonshire. "You go back to your father's house first, and you can come back to me in a few days."
"The Luna, Weasley, Fawcett and Diggory’s are all in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon. Nicole Le May and his wife Perenal have also Lived in Devon, but they died in 1992." Allen added.
"I know that Draco Malfoy's Malfoy Manor is located in Wiltshire in the northeast." Emily said softly, "Pancey often said in Slytherin how big the manor is..."
"Now, we are going to take the Salisbury line to the south of Wiltshire in about two and a half minutes. When we get to the south and return home, it will take another 20 to 30 minutes." I'm not used to Britain. Allen in the driving position held the steering wheel with both hands, stepped on the accelerator, and accelerated.
Luna opened a pack of sugar-free gum, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
"Give Emily a piece too." Through the rearview mirror, Allen saw the little girl staring at Luna's sugarless gum and reminded Luna with a smile.
Emily chewed the sugar-free gum twice and spit it on the wrapper. For Emily, sugar-free gum was obviously not as attractive as the snacks in her pack. She took out a chocolate frog, removed the wrapping paper, and bit off the frog's head with satisfaction.
Emily will taste the same bibido beans, crucible-shaped cakes, and pumpkin pie that she bought on the Hogwarts Express. She eats with relish. She would rather take a Muggle car bumping home for a while. Because she wanted to take the opportunity to eat more snacks. Allen noticed through the rearview mirror that Helena would look at each time Emily changed the snacks, and his hands on the steering wheel were tight.
"Helena, if the food tastes particularly strong, can you smell it?" Allen asked.
"Many ghosts like to smell the rotten, strong smelling things, which can smell a little bit more or less, but I am not interested in those." Helena replied, "Nick, who is almost headless, especially likes those long With maggot-filled lamb belly and green-haired cheese, the fat monk likes stinking salmon, and those will only make me sick."
"Allen, give me the Resurrection Stone." Luna chewed the gum and suddenly stretched out her hand to Allen. "During the summer vacation, I will study this bad thing to see if I can change Helena's situation, Pepy Ghost. Not a ghost~EbookFREE.me~ It transcends life and death. It is never alive, but if necessary, we take time to go back to school to catch it and study it-let your aunt help us find another female ghost , See if Helena can also touch things to restore the feeling of being alive."
Ellen's resurrection stone was handed to Luna, exchanged for a few gums, and threw it into his mouth. The child's mother seemed to have thought of it with his previous vision.
Finally drove out of downtown London, but not far after the thunder burst, raindrops hit the windshield of the car with a crackle, and the wiper swayed rhythmically from side to side, accompanied by the music playing in the car, sitting in front Luna in the passenger seat was chewing gum, her slightly raised eyes staring at the wiper in front of her, her body swayed with the wiper in front of her. The girl first kept her head and wiper the same. The frequency was shaking. Suddenly, Luna increased the frequency of shaking her body and head. It looked like the wiper was swaying following her swing, and her light golden hair was flying with it.
Alan turned his head, a little surprised, but his gaze couldn't seem to leave Luna like this, the corners of his mouth rose, and the whole expression was incredibly soft.
Luna's slender fingers pressed the window lift button and lowered the window. She unfastened the seat belt, and her entire upper body leaned out of the window. She held the window with her slender and white arms and held it steady. Stature. The rain slapped her delicate cheeks, but she didn't care. Instead, she closed her eyes like a child, raised her face, opened her mouth, and let the rain swallow a few mouthfuls.
Seeing the expression on Alan's face that seemed bewildered, Emily, who was sitting in the back row, stopped sucking the Martian stick in her hand. She squatted her mouth and said inwardly, "Pretend to be tender."
