Chapter 22 I really can’t take another bite!
"Well!"
Hermione covered her mouth and shook her head desperately at Ash who handed her the chocolate frog.
Harley on the other side was the same, saying pitifully:
"I really can't take a bite! Why don't we let them go?"
Chocolate frog is delicious, but if you eat too much, you will really get tired of it! How can anyone eat chocolate as a meal?
Harley opened the window and cast a hopeful look at Ash.
Hermione nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and echoed:
"I heard that releasing wild animals in the East can bring good luck."
She really couldn't eat it at all!
"There isn't much left." Ash shook his head and put a chocolate frog in front of Cassandra.
As the initiator, she had to eat a little bit.
"Why aren't there any?"
Cassandra bitterly 'bitten' the chocolate frog to death, and said angrily:
"I lost this time, but I will definitely win it back next time!"
"But, I don't want to compete with you either." Harley muttered.
She was afraid of irritating Cassandra, so her voice was so low that only she could hear it.
"no!"
Cassandra 'bitten' another chocolate frog to death, stood up immediately, picked up a pack of multi-flavor beans and said:
"I'm going to compete with you again to see who can eat the bad multi-flavor beans first!"
"Bad Braised Beans?" Harley looked at Ash in confusion.
Ash handed another chocolate frog to Cassandra and explained to the confused Harley:
"Multi-flavor beans come in many flavors. It is said that there are all kinds of flavors. There are chocolate, lemon, toast, coconut, strawberry, cake, coffee, curry, etc. In addition, there are even Spinach, offal, pork liver, snot, and other very, um, very weird flavors. I think the 'bad multi-flavor beans' that Cassandra said were referring to these bad-tasting ones."
"That's right!" Cassandra opened the package, handed a multi-flavor bean to Harley, and said confidently:
"This time, I will definitely win."
"Okay." Harley sighed, if this would make Cassandra happy, she muttered:
"Just don't taste chocolate."
Cassandra ate a multi-flavored bean first and said at the same time:
"Strawberry flavor."
"To prevent cheating, we need to quickly tell the flavor of the multi-flavor beans."
"OK."
Harry nodded, picked up a multi-flavor bean and put it into his mouth:
"Hmm~, just like lemon."
Cassandra ate another braised bean:
"This time it's chocolate."
Hermione moved closer to Ash and asked softly:
"Have they always been like this?"
"Unfortunately, I think so." Ash said with a serious expression: "You have to learn to get used to it, Hermione."
Hermione was a little confused as to why she had to learn to get used to it.
Kassandra just put the braised beans in her mouth and spit them out immediately.
On the other side, Harley, who had gradually caught up with Cassandra, also ate a multi-flavor bean.
Then, she threw up too.
The two multi-flavored beans were spat out as soon as they were taken into the mouth. Except for being stained with some saliva, they were just like new ones. But the expressions of the two girls were extremely distorted and painful, and they rushed out of the box one after another and ran towards the bathroom.
"It looks like a draw." Ash shook his head, took out his wand from his pocket and pointed it at the ground:
“Scourgify.”
The two multi-flavor beans on the ground disappeared immediately.
Hermione was a little surprised and whispered:
"I haven't learned the spell yet."
She silently remembered the spell Ash just recited and whispered to herself.
Ash pointed to the pile of unwrapped packages of chocolate frogs on the chair, smiled and encouraged:
"You can try the packaging. Those are meant to be processed."
"Thanks."
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her wand and waved it at one of the boxes:
"Scourgify."
The box is still there, unresponsive.
"It takes a little bit of skill," Ash said. "You need some practice."
Hermione pursed her lips and tried several times in succession, but the success rate was not high and there was 100% room for improvement.
It took a long time for Harley and Cassandra to return from the bathroom, but their faces were still a little pale.
Hermione asked curiously:
"What on earth did you eat?"
"I don't know what it is. It smells like bed bugs."
Cassandra replied with a sullen expression, then looked at Harley and said, "I lost this time."
"No, it's a draw. I vomited too." Harley shook her head and moved her lips:
"I don't know what it is. It tastes sweet but smells bad."
Hermione frowned and tried to imagine it, but then realized that she couldn't find the corresponding thing because she had never eaten bugs.
"It should be coriander and durian." Ash said.
"Coriander? Why does it taste like bedbugs? I think it's delicious." Hermione looked at Cassandra with some confusion.
Cassandra immediately looked at Hermione as if she were looking at a monster. You actually said something like a bedbug was delicious?
Harley also recalled it and said:
"Every time I eat barbecue, Aunt Petunia puts some coriander in it. I don't think it tastes bad."
"My family never adds such stinky vegetables to barbecue!" Cassandra gritted her teeth.
Ash explained:
"Different people have different feelings about coriander. Most people don't find it unpleasant to eat. But for a few people, it tastes like eating bedbugs and is difficult to swallow. That's the case with Cassandra."
"What about durian?" Harley asked.
Ash continued to explain:
"Durian and coriander are similar. Some people like to eat durian. Some people feel like vomiting when they smell it, like me."
Ash complained to himself:
"I really feel like throwing up when I smell it."
He is the type who wants to vomit when he smells durian, and wants to eat stinky tofu when he smells it.
After hearing Ash's explanation, Harley felt better, at least she didn't eat anything weird.
After sitting down again, they no longer touched the multi-flavor beans or chocolate. They didn't even dare to touch other snacks. They just chatted quietly.
Hermione asked softly:
"Won't you change into your robes? I think we're almost there."
"It's still early."
Ash looked at the time, shook his head and said: "Hogwarts is in the Scottish Highlands, at least five hundred miles away from London. When we arrive at Hogwarts, it will be eight o'clock in the evening at the earliest. But you can indeed change into robes in advance. , there’s no harm in that.”
Ash stood up on his own initiative, helped them take down the suitcases, and said:
"Well, I'll go outside and watch. Remember to close the curtains."
Seeing Ash walk out of the box, Hermione immediately said:
"I'll go out and take a look too."
She didn't need to change because she had already done so in the bathroom.
She didn't really want to stay with them because their relationship was so good that she felt like she couldn't get in.
In contrast, she preferred to stay with Ash.
