Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 165 Chinese Fireball
"Aunt and grandma, I am no longer a child."

David said, clutching his forehead with a headache.

"Oh, so you dislike your aunt and grandma?"

Queenie's expression collapsed in an instant, she was born with acting skills.

"No, how is that possible!" David said quickly.

"That"

Queenie opened her arms again.

David couldn't resist her, so he could only step forward and gently hug Queenie in cooperation.

"So cute!" Queenie continued to straighten David's messy hair a little, "And it seems that David has grown taller again. I guess after a while, my aunt will have to stand on tiptoe to touch yours." hair."

"It's still early." David broke away from Queenie's embrace, and greeted Jacob who was beside him, "Merry Christmas, Uncle!"

"Haha, Merry Christmas David!" Jacob grinned, showing his white teeth, and said naively while touching his big belly, "Do you like the Christmas present I gave you?"

"I haven't had time to open it yet, but every gift you give is one of my favorites"

David's Christmas presents were all piled up in his room, and he never had time to go back to his room to open them after he got back.

"Oh, that's such a pity. I believe you will be satisfied with this time. It took me a long time to choose him."

Jacob raised his bushy eyebrows at David, and walked to the kitchen with the basket in his hand, which was his annual must-have.

"You didn't see the gift from your aunt and grandma, did you?"

Queenie pursed her lips like a little girl.

"You won't knit me another sweater, will you?"

The sound of the pink sweater lying on the bottom of the suitcase gave David a headache.

Queenie always liked to give David unique things, and when he was a child, she gave him a canary yellow stuffed animal to cuddle with him to sleep all night.

But Huobie dragged the doll there to make a nest for some small animal, and David never found it.

"What? Don't you like it?"

Although Queenie was laughing, David smelled a hint of danger, which was a special ability he had been trained by Queenie since he was a child.

"No, I like it very much. I like everything my aunt gave me." David said against his will.

"That's good!" Queenie took David's arm in satisfaction, and dragged him to the stairs. "Then go and turn it out and put it on."

"My friends are still here! I can't leave them behind."

David hurriedly pointed to Hermione and the others, and made a look for help. He was afraid that Queenie would add some new patterns to last year's sweater and embroider a few flowers on it.

"I guess they'd love to spend some time waiting for you to change, right?"

Queenie tilted her head slightly to look at the people in front of the fireplace.

Hermione and Harry nodded hastily, for fear that David might misunderstand it. They also wanted to see what kind of sweater David was so resistant to.

David sighed helplessly, and under Queenie's urging, he stepped up the cliff-like steps step by step.

Back in the bedroom, Christmas presents piled up beside the bed as usual.

After rummaging through the hills, David pulled out a rectangular box. On the surface of the wrapping paper was written in pink letters: Queenie Goldstein.

Queenie always puts her name on the presents she gives David so that she can ask David to be the first to open his presents when she is around.

Tear open the package on the surface, there is still a small box inside, take off the cover, David saw a sky blue sweater neatly placed in the box.

It's as if it's not bad!
David breathed a sigh of relief, put the box on the bed, twisted up the collar of the sweater, shook it slightly, and showed it to his eyes.

The back is pure sky blue, but on the front is a picture of Queenie holding two or three-year-old David, both of whom have big smiles on their faces.

This photo was taken on his two-year-old birthday.

Great-aunt gifts are always different.

David brushed lightly over the two smiling faces, and put it on his body without any resistance.

When he was about to go out, David thought for a while, and stopped again. He bent down and rummaged through the pile of gifts for a long time, and pulled out a box that was similar in color to the trunk of a big tree.

It was a gift from Jacob. He felt that this color was more masculine, so the gifts he gave to David were usually packaged in this color.

After tearing the wrapping paper apart, David saw an exquisite wooden box engraved with a flying dragon pattern.

Gently press the lock position, the lid slowly opens upwards, and a small Chinese fireball lies in the nest at the bottom of the box with its eyes closed.

The Chinese Fireball is a breed of fire dragon native to China, and they are very beautiful in appearance.

There is a short and upturned nose on the face, and there is a circle of golden tassel-like short thorns around the nose, and the eyes are slightly protruding
Their bodies are covered with scarlet smooth scales, and they weigh about three to four tons, and the female fireballs are larger than the males.

The eggs of the Chinese Fireball are bright crimson with some golden flecks.

Egg shells are widely used and are favored by Chinese wizards.

Chinese Fireballs are also one of the few dragons that can tolerate their own kind, and they are sometimes willing to share a territory with one or two other dragons.

It's just that Chinese fireballs have a bad thing, that is, they like to eat people, so wizards usually drive them to some remote places or keep them in captivity.

After looking back and forth at the Chinese Fireball in the box, David felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

My great-uncle's gifts never disappoint me!
These gadgets are carved out of special wood and are enchanted so that they will move whenever you say a set spell.

Invented by a toy store in the United States, it has a series that includes all the familiar magical animals.

"I swear I'll never hurt a Chinese Fireball."

David touched the Chinese Fireball with his wand, and read the golden words engraved on the lid of the box.

After removing the wand, the little fireball shook its whole body, raised its eyelids a few times, and then slowly revealed its beautiful eyes.

The little fireball got up and moved its wings lightly, flapped twice, flew to David's wrist, and rubbed its head against his skin.

In the process of raising its head, two mushroom-shaped fireballs spewed out from its mouth, and after hitting David's wrist, he felt a little bit of warmth.

Chinese Fireballs shoot two balls of fire out of their noses like this when provoked, which is where they get their name from.

In order to have more fun with Chinese fireballs, merchants have changed their habit into a routine means of pleasing wizards.

David stretched out a finger and brushed the little fireball's head, and it shook its head comfortably.

It's time to go down too.
Although he was reluctant, there were still people waiting for him downstairs, so David had to pick up his wand and look at China Fireball's head again.

China Fireball raised its head and let out a roar, flapped its wings and flew back to the lair, lying on it and recovering its original shape.

Putting the box on the desk, David suddenly found a separate box on it.

From grandma?

David picked up the exquisite box on the table and looked back and forth.

Newt would not prepare such elaborate gifts again. If David hadn't explained in advance, he would just give whatever he got.

On one occasion David had received a written quill from him, so Tina criticized him for days.

Opening the small box, David took out a silver pendant from inside, with a small transparent ball hanging at the bottom, and a cute cat raccoon hidden in the middle.

In addition, there was a letter at the bottom, and David took it out and scanned it line by line.

The purpose of this pendant was introduced above. It is equivalent to a locator. As long as David wears it, Tina will reveal his location after casting a spell on the special map.

And Tina asked him to bring it, so that next time David disappeared, she could easily find him.

David thought for a moment, hung the pendant around his neck, turned and walked downstairs.

As soon as he went down the stairs, David saw everyone gathered on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

I don't know who extended the sofa a lot so that everyone can sit comfortably on it.

Queenie put her arms around Hermione, smiling and whispering.

Jacob and Newt were surrounded by several boys, asking them to tell interesting stories about their youth.

Tina sat next to Queenie, and from time to time would add some details to Newt and the others that they hadn't mentioned.

This scene is really good.

The arrival of Hermione and the others added a lot of excitement to the family, and at the same time filled the vacancy for Rove and the others.

Rove had written before Christmas that they had gone to France, as if his parents had discovered some strange incident that needed to be dealt with.

Rove had no choice but to follow.

Since Newt's retirement, some less important things have been entrusted to them.

Although Newt was not very willing, but under Tina's coercion, he had to agree
When David was about to reach the sofa, Queenie finally heard David's footsteps.

She turned around quickly, looked at David's clothes, and frowned: "How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

David nodded.

Hermione carefully looked at the picture in front of David, covered her mouth and laughed.

Queenie got up and walked to David, looked back and forth, and said softly, "Come on, tell me, I love my aunt!"

"what?"

David blinked, not knowing what trick Queenie was playing again.

"You'll know it when you say it, hurry up, hurry up!"

Queenie pinched David's face and urged.

"Okay," David said resignedly, "I love my aunt."

"look."

Queenie took a step back, pointed at the pattern in front of David and said happily.

David looked down.

The originally static pattern suddenly moved, and Queenie hugged little David in a circle, and after stopping, she was about to kiss David's face.

But it was stopped by David's little hand, but she still couldn't resist Queenie's enthusiasm.

After leaving a lip print on little David's face, Queenie smiled triumphantly.

Queenie in front of the sofa giggled after watching this scene, and said to David, "How is it? Is it full of love?"

David raised his head, walked up to Queenie and gave her a hug, and whispered, "Yes, my dear aunt."

"It's good to know, and I want to remind you, don't do such dangerous things next time." Queenie whispered in David's ear: "But don't worry this time, I didn't tell Queenie the details. Ni, but if there is another time, I will tell her."

After Queenie finished speaking, she gently tugged at David's earlobe.

"understood."

David said sincerely that he could feel Tina and Queenie's concern for him.

"Good! Go and play with your friends, we'll be having dinner in a little while."

Queenie sat on the sofa with David in her arms.

"You looked cute when you were little."

Hermione's fingers lightly tapped the small face of little David on the pattern, as if teasing David as a child.

"Well, I think so too."

David said approvingly.

"It's just that" Hermione raised her head and looked back and forth at David's face, "Why are you so ugly now?"

David was taken aback, turned to look at Queenie, and put on a distressed expression: "Auntie, she said I'm ugly."

"Don't listen to Hermione's nonsense, she is not ugly, just a little ugly."

Queenie winked mischievously at Hermione after she finished speaking.

Tina broke away from Newt's chat and said with a smile: "David, don't worry, it's not particularly ugly, at least you are much more handsome than Newt."

Newt was a little dazed when he heard this, and he didn't know why the flames of war burned on him.

Jacob paused in his rambunctious mouth, and then he turned to look at Newt and patted John on the shoulder and laughed.

His hearty laugh quickly spread to the others, leaving only Newt and David staring at each other.

Happiness is theirs, we have nothing.

After dinner, Newt took everyone to the magical space to visit his carefully raised magical animals.

Among them, the cute moon monster with big eyes captured Hermione's heart. She stood there watching for a long time, but unfortunately the moon monster was too shy, and she couldn't get close to them.

Ron fell in love with Niffler, but David felt that what Ron actually liked was Niffler's ability to find treasure.

As always, Fred and George loved funny animals, and the moment the horse-shaped monster appeared, they cheered loudly.

Quidditch is worthy of being Harry's favorite. As soon as the Golden Snitch flew out of the forest, his eyes caught it instantly and fixed on it.

This time, the Snitch was put in just before Newt.

When he returned to the studio, Newt also gave Hermione and the others a hair from a magical animal.

Among them, Harry's is the feather of the golden snitch.

When the clock hit 11:30, Queenie and Jacob were leaving.

Hermione waved at them reluctantly.

After they left, Hermione whispered to David, "Your great aunt is so kind! She told me a lot of interesting things and gave us a card. She said we can pass this Kaka went to Mrs. Malkin to pick out a favorite dress."

After chatting in front of the fireplace for a while, the clock struck midnight, and Tina got up and called everyone to rest. She had already made comfortable beds for Hermione and the others in the spare room.

Lying down on the fluffy quilt, everything that happened today began to slowly emerge in Harry's mind.

He was full of joy, and felt that the days here were more enjoyable than those at Hogwarts.

It's just that while he was happy, Harry was also a little sad, because next Christmas he might be alone again.

I don't know if David will invite him back.
Full of thoughts, Harry gradually fell asleep.
