Chapter 148 Women are really scary!(1/2)
Jack escaped.
I can't escape.
The quarrel between Michelle and Alice has reached a fever pitch.
If he doesn't leave, he will be affected.
Jack has experience in this area.
Growing up, her mother and Aunt Alice had had similar arguments countless times.
Every time they looked like they were about to fight.
But every time in the end, the two women's attention would shift to him.
As a result, the two women quickly reconciled, and Jack became the only "injured" person at the scene.
Every time at this time, his father would run over to comfort him.
And told him that women are such terrible creatures.
But now, Jack has learned his lesson.
He hugged a pile of candies and desserts that Aunt Alice had piled into his arms during the argument, and fled out of the principal's office as fast as he could.
It wasn't until he reached his dormitory that he breathed a sigh of relief and gradually slowed down.
Then he suddenly noticed.
Several classmates in the common room looked at him a little strangely.
That look was like pity and envy.
This made Jack a little confused.
And when he actually entered the dormitory, he finally knew what the eyes of those classmates meant.
Because there was a brown-haired girl sitting on his bed at this moment.
Jack is very familiar with this girl.
The other party can be said to be one of the few friends of the same age that Jack has in Hogwarts.
Her name is Emilia Diggory.
I heard from other classmates that her father and mother are Cedric Diggory and Autumn Diggory respectively.
Those are two very good wizards.
Especially Cedric.
Not only is he strong, but he is also approachable, likes to help others, and is very, very kind!
It is generally believed that Emilia inherited her father's good temper and talent, as well as her mother's wisdom and beauty.
Although like Jack, he just entered Hogwarts this year.
But in just a few months, Emilia has already made her mark and is known as the number one person after Ariana Shafiq.
However, Jack, who often hangs out with Amelia, knows.
Emilia may indeed have inherited her parents' talents, intelligence and beauty.
But at least, Emilia really didn't inherit any of her father's good temper.
"Peng——"
Jack was just thinking wildly when he saw Amelia jump up from the bed and rush to him.
"Jack! Why did you leave without waiting for me after class today?"
Emilia asked angrily.
Unprepared, Jack didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, he was really speechless about the regulations governing Hogwarts dormitories.
Why can't boys enter the women's dormitory, but girls can enter and exit the men's dormitory without any restrictions?
Who set these rules?
Emilia, on the other hand, continued regardless:
"Don't you know that Barney has been trying to cause trouble for you recently? If you don't act with me and are alone, he will easily catch you and get beaten!"
Jack shrank his neck and said subconsciously:
"Uh...I'm sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing?" Emilia interrupted angrily, "You can't always apologize to people! You are a boy, you should have the courage to fall out when you should..."
Listening to Emilia's tendency to make long speeches, a mask of pain appeared on Jack's face.
So he used his trump card and pushed out all the candies and snacks in his arms.
"Why are you giving me this? I don't like sweets! And I'm talking to you about business, so you can't change it... Oh! Is this a vampire cake?"
Emilia's expression changed, and she almost subconsciously picked up a small cake contained in a special transparent crystal box.
Jack asked doubtfully:
"Vampire cake?"
"Don't you know? Vampire cake is the famous dessert of 'Mrs. Gus's Cake Shop'!" Emilia raised her voice and said, "You should know about 'Mrs. Gus' Cake Shop', right?"
Jack still shook his head in confusion.
Seeing this, Amelia glared at Jack with some hatred and explained:
"The predecessor of 'Mrs. Gus's Cake Shop' was a small cake shop before the Goblin Disaster. Its store manager was a Muggle-born wizard. He received the favor of Minister Shafiq's "Encouragement for Entrepreneurship Program" and opened it.
That cake shop.
The evil scourge broke out later!
The shop owner's cake shop was forced to close down, and he himself participated in the war and went to France.
There, he met Mrs. Gus, who was still running a magic portrait shop in Iris Lane at that time!"
Jack seemed to understand something and suddenly said:
"Oh! So this is a love story!"
"What on earth are you thinking about? Mrs. Gus was over seventy years old at the time!"
Amelia almost screamed, "It was Mrs. Gus' kindness and care that made the then young shopkeeper think of his deceased grandma!
Then during the war, Mrs. Gus saved the young shopkeeper's life, which moved the young shopkeeper very much!
Later, regardless of the danger, the young shop owner took Mrs. Gus out of danger at the most critical moment. He also spent all his money to find a therapist and saved Mrs. Gus!
After the war, the young shopkeeper decided to support Mrs. Gus, treated her as his own grandmother, and took her back to the Republic of China.
Mrs. Gus is also very satisfied with the young shopkeeper.
So she sold her original shop in Iris Alley and used the money to help the young shop owner open a new cake shop in Diagon Alley!
And the young shop owner, in order to thank Mrs. Gus, named the shop ‘Mrs. Gus’ Cake Shop’!”
Jack said weakly:
"But...but I still don't understand..."
"Don't interrupt me if you don't understand! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Emilia added, "The touching story just now made 'Mrs. Gus' Cake Shop' famous! Not only the wizards from China love the cakes in their shop, but even many wizards from abroad are attracted by it.
Come!
As their famous product, vampire cake is limited every day. It is very delicious, but also very expensive... No! This is not just a question of whether it is expensive or not, but it is simply not worth queuing for hours.
If you can't eat it, it depends on luck! I..."
Amelia didn't continue talking, she pursed her lips and carefully put the cake back into Jack's arms.
Despite this, judging from the movement of Amelia's throat and the longing look in her eyes, Jack felt that Amelia was still eager to taste that piece of cake.
Jack reacted quickly and directly handed the cake to Amelia and said:
"Give it to you! Emilia!"
"Give it to me?"
Emilia took a few steps back as if she had been frightened, and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no! I can't have it, it's too precious..."
Without waiting for Amelia to finish her words, Jack unwrapped the cake and forced the cake into Amelia's hand.
Amelia's eyes widened, looking at the cake and then at Jack.
At this time, she seemed not as strong as before.
Two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, and she asked in a voice like a mosquito:
"Can I really eat it?"
