Chapter 10 Queenie's sweater, awesome!

downstairs.

Newt and Tina had already put up the Christmas decorations.

In the center of the room stood a good-sized fir tree, pruned into a triangle, with red and gold threads spun around it.

The golden thread is dotted with some golden or red balls and bells.

In addition, there are scattered pine cones, garlands and ribbons hanging here and there.

There are also many colored ribbons and lanterns hanging on the surrounding walls.
It makes people feel very warm and comfortable.

At first glance, it was designed and arranged by Tina, and Newt did not have this level of appreciation.

Tina was in the kitchen preparing the ingredients needed for tonight, while Newt stood by and helped.

In normal times, these tasks are done with magic.

But at Christmas time, Tina is more than willing to show everyone her craft, and there will be two very important guests in the evening.

After breakfast, David wanted to help in the kitchen and do what he could.

But Tina kicked him out and told him to rest, saying Newt in the kitchen was enough.

As a last resort, David could only run into the magic space to check the preparations of the fairies.

They are going through the last few rehearsals with great enthusiasm, without the nervousness of their first stage appearance at all, just like some old actors who have appeared on stage many times.

at dusk.

The table is full of sumptuous food, a chubby turkey is placed in the center of the table, plates of roast meat and baked potatoes surround it, and some snacks are crowded in the corners and gaps in the plates.

They were smelling alluring, and Tina had made them herself.

Newt and Tina stood in the middle of the room, neatly dressed and smiling, next to the Christmas tree.

The fairies sat on the Christmas tree with Pickett, watching all this leisurely.

It stands to reason that Pickett should stay in the magic space at this time, because Newt will give all the animals in the magic space extra food today.

But Pickett never seemed to get along with the other Bowtruckles, always fighting, or in groups of a dozen, so he spent Christmas outside.

If David guessed correctly, Newt loved it too much, making the other Bowtruckles jealous.

Three cats and lizi were also wearing Christmas clothes, standing aside, welcoming the coming guests.

As the bell rang, there was a pop, and a man and a woman appeared in the room.

The man is short and fat, with many gray hairs hidden in the black hair, some wrinkles on his face, and a black beard, which looks like he has been through many vicissitudes.

He has a big belly, and he is carrying a bamboo basket in one hand, covered with a white cloth, exuding the tempting aroma of freshly baked bread.

The other arm is holding a blond woman. She is wearing a set of fashionable clothes. From her face and figure, it can be seen that she was beautiful and charming when she was young. Although she has been baptized for a long time, The whole has lost a lot of agility, but the charm is still there.

They are Jacob and Queenie, Newt and Tina's best friends, and basically come to celebrate every Christmas.

Queenie gave Tina the book "Teaching You to Make Fashionable Women's Clothes Step by Step", hoping that she would pay attention to her own clothes, but unfortunately, she failed. Today, Tina still wears the clothes that Queenie made for her before. .

Seeing Tina immediately let go of Jacob's hand, Queenie walked over to give Tina a hug, and also complained about her outdated clothes.

Newt and Jacob hugged too.

After they had finished expressing their emotions, David walked up to say hello: "Uncle, great-aunt, Merry Christmas!"

"Oh, my dear David, Merry Christmas!" Queenie stepped forward, gave David a hug, and said, "Did you see the Christmas present I gave you?"

"I see." A trace of helplessness flashed across David's face.

"Like it?"

"I like it very much." David's voice was inaudible.

"Then why don't you put it on?" Queenie said with a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

The corner of David's mouth twitched, and the big thick sweater came to mind.

My dear great-aunt, have you ever seen a ten-year-old boy in a pink sweater?
"Oh, my lovely David doesn't like the gift his great-aunt gave him, he hates his great-aunt." Before David could speak, Queenie said sadly, her mouth pursed and the corners of her eyes closed. A small drop of tears, a proper acting school.

Queenie is a natural master of Legilimency, who can easily read other people's thoughts. At least David has not yet learned how to resist her detection.

"Okay, okay, auntie, I'll change it right away." David's tone was a bit like coaxing a child, and then he pretended to be angry and said: "Also, you promised me that you would no longer find out my thoughts. "

"I didn't know your thoughts." Queenie said with a smile.

then you just
"That's what I guessed!" As soon as David thought of it, Queenie said slyly, then she grabbed David by the shoulder and pushed him upstairs, "Okay, my aunt promises you , This is the last time, I will definitely not know your thoughts in the future, go upstairs and change your clothes, let my aunt and grandma see."

David glanced at Queenie, really?He didn't believe it. Queenie said the same thing last time.

Aunt and grandma, your clothes today are so ugly!
David thought to himself.

Queenie didn't respond, she still looked at him with a smile on her face, and waved to him to change quickly.

Really stop investigating?
David walked upstairs in satisfaction, and his anxiety about changing into a pink sweater dissipated a lot.

However, where he couldn't see, Queenie's sleeve was tightly clenched with a fist.

How dare you brat say my clothes are ugly!

Upstairs, David found the sweater Queenie had given him from the bottom of the closet. It was all knitted with pink wool without any impurities, and there was a layer of short fluff on the surface of the sweater.

I thought I would never wear this dress.

David sighed and changed into his sweater.

His hair was the same shade of red as Newt's, and he kept it long to keep warm because of the cold weather.

And his face is not fully open, pink, with this sweater, like a cute little girl.

It seems to look good too.
No, no, I'm a boy!
Swaying in front of the mirror twice, David growled in his heart, hastily denying the slightest thought that he thought he looked good just now.

He dragged his legs vigorously, as if there were countless lead weights tied to them, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

"Oh, my David, how cute!" As soon as David walked downstairs, Queenie immediately walked to his side and took his hand around.

"Come on, just smile, you'll grow old if you don't smile!" Queenie rubbed David's little face.

David pulled out a smile in cooperation, which was extremely ugly.

"Awesome!" But Queenie was still very satisfied. After complimenting David, she took David by the hand and led him to the dining table.

Jacob and Tina sitting at the dining table also began to praise David's clothes, saying that he fits the clothes very well, and even Newt showed a satisfied smile!

David sat on the chair and was a little skeptical about life. Are these people messing with me?

What kind of ghost aesthetics are they!I am a boy!
Queenie hadn't detected his thoughts at this time, so she didn't know what he was thinking.

After all, it’s okay to find out once in a while as a joke, but it’s too much to do this all the time, and it will make people feel insecure.

After Queenie could control her own abilities, she seldom probed other people's thoughts, which was also a burden to her.

While pushing the cups, Jacob, who was a little drunk, began to talk about the past again. They lived in the United States and dealt with Grindelwald's adventure together.

This is his must-have show every year.

Queenie was eating delicious food, adding some details about how she and Jacob got along from time to time.

Tina and Newt also join in on the rise of Jacob's talk, reminiscing about the glorious past.

David sat on the side, silently eating the turkey and snacks on the table, and only echoed when he was angry.

When they talked about it before, David still thought it was fresh and interesting, and he listened with gusto every time.

But it’s the same every year, listening to the same story, no matter how interesting it is, it will make people feel bored, David can almost memorize it!
Amidst the laughter, the turkey on the plate gradually revealed a lot of bones, and the plate containing roast meat and potatoes was also much empty.

At this time, everyone had almost eaten, and David burped a few times.

After sitting in chairs and resting for a while, everyone got up and began to clean up the leftover food on the table.

After cleaning up, David moved the sofa in front of the Christmas tree, and let Newt and the others sit down.

Then turn off all the lights, and only the light from the surrounding colored lights is left in the room.

David leads the fairies towards the studio, the Christmas show is about to begin tonight!
