Chapter 115
Chapter 116: Digory’s House
Everyone walked along the path for a long time. Gradually, they saw a two-story gray building in the distance.
George introduced everyone:”That’s Cedric’s house.”
The window on the second floor was open, and Cedric was sitting on the table behind the window writing a letter. After hearing the little wizard’s voice, he looked up. glance out the window
“George! Fred! Ives!” he leaned out and waved.
“Cedric! We came to play with you!”George put his hands in front of his mouth like a trumpet and shouted in response to Cedric.
When they walked for a few more minutes and reached the downstairs of Diggory’s house, Cedric was already waiting at the door.
George, Fred De and Ives went up to him one after another and gave him a hug.
“Welcome to my home,” Cedric smiled and welcomed everyone in.
“Why are you here?”He asked as he walked with Ivis and Hermione.
Ivis told them about the Weasleys’ invitation to stay at the Burrow for a few days.
Cedric raised his eyebrows,”You can do it later. Come and stay at my house for a few days. My father would be very grateful to you for inviting me to the ceremony for the Order of Merlin. Ives hurriedly waved his hand and refused:”After living in the Burrow for a few days, I have other things to do. Hermione also wants to travel abroad with her parents.””
“Understood,” Cedric nodded and didn’t bother anymore.
The decoration of Diggory’s house is closer to that of a Muggle house.
There is a clothes rack at the entrance and an umbrella bucket at the door.
The living room is spacious and bright, with exquisite decorations Furniture and decorations. Different from the gray exterior walls, the walls of the living room are warm-toned. Like the Burrow, there is also a wall clock with no numbers and only one needle, but the wall clock of Diggory’s house has What is written on the clock is”Go to work””、””Bake cookies” and the like.
The living room was filled with the smell of butter and milk.
“Mom, Ives and the others are here to visit.”Cedric shouted into the kitchen.
Hearing the movement, a tall, thin, middle-aged witch came out of the kitchen. She looked like she was only in her thirties, not very old.
Mrs. Diggory Wearing an apron, she held a plate of freshly baked butter cookies in her hand.
Seeing so many little wizards, she said enthusiastically:”Everyone is welcome to my home. Please feel free to treat yourself as if you are at your own home.””
She invited everyone to sit on the sofa, put the plate of butter cookies on the coffee table, and then waved in the direction of the kitchen, and the kettle and teacups flew over.
Mrs. Digory was very enthusiastic and poured tea for everyone herself.
After introducing herself again, she took Avis’s hand and said gratefully:”Thank you very much for inviting Cedric to the award ceremony.”
No wonder Mrs. Digory is so exaggerated. The Order of Merlin’s status in the wizarding world is like the Muggle Nobel Prize. An invitation to the award ceremony is worth a thousand dollars.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Ives said.”Cedric is a good friend of mine.”
Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Digory’s face became heavier, and she entertained everyone more enthusiastically.
Ives picked up a butter cookie and put it into his mouth, biting it down, and the rich flavor under the crispy shell The aroma of milk burst out.
He squinted his eyes and praised,”It’s so delicious!”
“Eat more if you like,” Mrs. Diggory got u
p and went back to the kitchen to continue baking cookies.
After drinking tea and eating cookies, everyone followed Cedric to visit his room.
Hermione was last. One of them rolled his eyes, grabbed Luna and Ginny, and ran into the kitchen to find Mrs. Diggory. She wanted to learn how to make butter cookies.
The walls in Cedric’s room were covered with A poster of the Quidditch team. Like Harry, Ron, and George, he is a loyal fan of Quidditch. As for Ives, except for college games and training, he doesn’t pay much attention to Quidditch games.
The floor of the room is covered with carpets, and there is a large desk next to the wall near the window. There are various books on it, as well as several pots of magical plants that are not dangerous.
“You actually like the Bailey Fort Bats,” George looked at the seven athletes in black robes on the poster, with a star-red bat embroidered on their chests.
“heresy!”Fred shouted
“What’s wrong with liking the Bailey’s Fort Bats? Cedric retorted,”This is the most famous team in the north of Ireland. In the history of the team, it has won a total of twenty-seven Quidditch League Cups.””
“Which team do you support? he asked again.
George and Fred looked at each other,”Of course it’s the Holyhead Harpies.””
The Holyhead Harpies are the only Quidditch team in the world with all female players. This team is not only strong, but every player is beautiful.
“Ah,” Cedric hesitated, scratching his head,”Of course I also like the Holyhead Harpies very much.”
“Huh,” Ron snorted coldly,”the two teams you mentioned are not as good as the Chadli Cannons. It is currently the ninth-ranked team in the World League and the highest-ranked team in the UK.”
As soon as the topic of Quidditch came up, Ron stopped feeling sleepy. He refuted the views of his two brothers and Cedric fiercely. Harry also joined the conversation. He supported the Apple Arrows.
The room was lively for a while.
While they were arguing, Ives noticed that there was a portrait of an old wizard in Cedric’s room. He looked very different from the other Quidditch posters.
He walked over to the portrait. , below is written a line of text:
Edrich Diggory (1689-1747)
The name Ives is familiar with, he has seen it in the textbook on the history of magic.
Edrich Diggory once arrived in 1733 He served as the British Minister of Magic between 1747 and 1747. During his reign, he established the Auror recruitment program for the first time and made a great contribution to the growth of the Ministry of Magic. Unfortunately, Edrich Digory eventually died due to He contracted dragon pox and died in the office.
Ives did not expect that the minister was actually Cedric’s ancestor.
The boys’ dispute was easily resolved when Cedric took out a long-cherished Victoria’s Secret Angel from under the bed. After reading the Legion’s pamphlet, everyone became gentle.
They no longer claimed that the team they supported was the greatest team, but looked at the pamphlet with Cedric intently.
Stairs Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps at the door.
Several people panicked. Cedric hurriedly stuffed the pamphlet between the books on the bookshelf, and then pretended to be nonchalant.
Mrs. Diggory knocked on the door and pushed it open. The door asked in a gentle voice:”Do you want to stay for dinner tonight?”
……
It’s the beginning of the month, so work hard and be at full attendance this month!
