Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 22 Balanced Nutrition
To Ron's mixed joy and disappointment, Scabbers was alright.

After lying on Tiera's lap for a while, Longma stood up energetically and then affectionately rubbed his hand against Tiera's palm.

Peter's mind was a bit confused at this moment.

On one hand, he knew he was Peter Pettigrew, a shameful traitor, and a Death Eater of the Dark Lord. On the other hand, he felt that the little wizard in front of him was so great that he couldn't help but submit to him, as if he were the most powerful wizard in the world, making him want to worship him.

Peter Pettigrew was not a man of strong will. After a moment of confusion, he succumbed to the new feeling, regarding Tiera as the greatest and most irresistible great wizard, and couldn't help but rub his hair and neck against Tiera's palm like a real mouse.

"Alright, go back to your master." After seeing that Peter Pettigrew had been affected, Tyella sent him back to Ron's side.

Peter Pettigrew reluctantly returned to Ron's arms.

He could not disobey Tyella's orders.

"I'm going to wash my hands." After saying that, Tierra stood up. Although it was required for the experiment, Tierra still felt a little disgusted to have such a middle-aged bald man rubbing his hands on hers.

By the time Tyrell had rubbed her hands and arms with soap five times, Harry and Ron had been chatting for quite a while.

It seems that without Tiera's interruptions, the two have become much more familiar with each other.

After meeting Ron, the conversation revealed nothing interesting, so Tierra quietly took out her copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and continued reading.

Around 12:30, a loud clattering sound came from the aisle. A smiling woman with dimples pushed open the cubicle door and asked, "Honey, would you like to buy any food from the car?"

Harry hadn't eaten anything that morning, so he jumped up. Ron's ears turned red again, and he muttered that he had brought a sandwich.

Just like in the original story, Harry, who had hardly ever eaten snacks since childhood, took out a silver coin and bought a little of every kind of snack from the lady's trailer.

Ron stared intently as Harry carried the groceries he had bought into the cubicle, then collapsed onto the empty seat, looking like he wanted to eat but dared not move.

Back in their train compartment, Harry invited Tyella and Ron to come and have some food.

Tierra took out a metal lunchbox from her bag, which was stuffed full of rice, braised pork with bamboo shoots, eggs and shrimp, and garlic-flavored lettuce.

Tierra placed the lunchbox on the train's table, took out her wand, and gently tapped the lunchbox.

A pale red flame shot out from the tip of the wand and quickly disappeared.

Soon, a very rich aroma wafted out of the lunchbox.

"You can use magic!?" Harry stared wide-eyed at Tyella.

"Yes, I know a little." Tierra nodded. "I practiced on my own for a month during the summer vacation and learned it."

The spell Tiera is using now is called the Healing Charm, which he learned from the book he just bought, "Standard Charms: Beginner's Guide".

Unlike the Fire Charm, the Heating Charm does not produce an open flame, but it can raise the temperature of anything the wand touches to the desired level.

Of course, this is mainly related to the wizard's control ability; some junior wizards may also cause fires if they cannot control their abilities well.

If the demolition genius Simo were to make it, this lunchbox would probably turn into a hand grenade.

Ron then took out a corned beef sandwich made by his mother and shared it with Tierra and Harry.

The three of them enjoyed their lunch very much, and Harry and Ron raved about Tierra's boxed lunch.

But the two children still preferred to have candy instead of lunch.

So in the end, Harry and Ron ate their bellies full of candy, while Tierra only ate a little bit of Berthold Beans and Chocolate Frog.

Tierra is long past the age of liking sweets; he prefers a balanced diet.

However, this seemed a bit strange to Ron and Harry.

What child doesn't like sweets? Just then, someone knocked on their cubicle door. Tiera had just used a cleansing spell to wash the lunchbox and put it away when a chubby little face poked its head in.

"I'm so sorry." The seemingly simple-minded boy was on the verge of tears. "Have you seen my toad? It's about this big..."

As he spoke, the young Gryffindor swordsman gestured with his hand.

“No…” Harry and Ron shook their heads at the same time.

Neville's face instantly fell, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

“I’ve lost it again! It always tries to escape from me!” Neville cried.

“It, it will come back,” Harry reassured him.

“I don’t understand why he’s in such a hurry,” Ron said after Neville left. “If I had a toad as a pet, I would be eager to get rid of it.”

Harry nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

Scabbers was restless on Ron's lap, constantly trying to run to Tierra, but under Tierra's intimidating gaze, Peter Pettigrew could only stay obediently on Ron's lap.

“Hey, Tyella, your Muggle medicine really works,” Ron said. “I’ve never seen Scabbers so lively.”

As he spoke, Ron pulled a very worn-out wand from his suitcase.

The wand had peeled off in places, revealing some silvery-white specks.

“This wand was left to me by my brother Charlie…it’s been a while…I hope it still works…Hey, do you want to see me turn it yellow?” Ron said excitedly. “Since Scabbers is so lively, I don’t have to worry about killing him because of a spell going out of control.”

Just as Tierra and Harry nodded, the door to the cubicle was suddenly pulled open, and the boy who had lost the toad returned, only this time with a little girl standing beside him.

The little girl had a face full of freckles, fluffy hair, and a pair of not-so-obvious large front teeth.

Both of them changed into Hogwarts robes.

The moment Tiera saw the girl, she felt a sense of relief.

Great, it's not a Black person.

Tierra thought to herself that although this girl only resembled Emma Watson by about 80 or 90 percent, she was indeed a pure white person.

Tierra was afraid that she had been transported to the world of some strange stage play.

Fortunately, judging from their appearances, it should be a storyline I'm familiar with.

“Has anyone seen a toad? Neville lost a toad,” she said, her tone somewhat arrogant and condescending.

“We’ve already told him we didn’t see it,” Ron said, but the little girl ignored him and just stared at the wand in his hand.

"Oh. Are you casting a spell? Then let us see for ourselves."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Neville down to sit.

Ron was clearly taken aback and seemed somewhat at a loss.

“Oh… alright then…” Ron cleared his throat and pointed the tip of his wand at Scabbers.

"Daisies, sweet cream and sunshine, turn this silly fat mouse yellow!"

A beam of yellow light shot out from the tip of his staff, but nothing happened.
