Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Chapter 130: A straightforward young girl and a beggar's chicken (Charlie and Pussy's stor

"Charlie, is the meat ready? I'm starving! I'm starving!" The girl's powerful and infectious voice came from afar.

Charlie, who was baking a large lump of earth inside the house, replied loudly, "Almost done, almost done!"

Then, he waved his wand, adjusted the temperature of the flame, and continued, "Pussy, you can go take a shower first, and you should be able to eat when you come out."

"Okay! My clothes are torn, give me a new one."

The girl walked in and immediately asked Charlie for new clothes, acting as if it were her right.

Charlie knew that this girl named Pusi was by no means an impolite person—because she had no idea what politeness was.

At first, Charlie was somewhat unaccustomed to communicating with someone who didn't know the meaning of subtlety and tact; after all, the girl spoke too directly.

For example, she might say, "Charlie, you're so handsome," or suddenly say, "Charlie, why are you looking at my legs?"

The first sentence made Charlie blush with embarrassment, while the second made him almost want to bang his head against a wall and die.

Fortunately, he could tell that when the girl said these words, it was just an instinctive exchange without any pretense, and there was no real deeper meaning behind them.

Yes, when she said Charlie was good-looking, she genuinely thought he was. She was curious why Charlie was looking at her legs; she was genuinely curious.

Charlie could only thank her for the compliment after calming down, and explained that he had been surprised by the explosive power of her leg muscles, which was why he couldn't help but glance at her calves.

Charlie felt somewhat ashamed to say such untrue things, but in order not to actually go and kill himself, he could only make up this excuse.

“Although you seemed a little nervous when you said that, you probably didn’t mean any harm.” Pusi pointed out Charlie’s problem with his words again.

Charlie could only chuckle; he would never admit to his true feelings when he looked at her long legs—once a person completely exposes their inner self, they will feel utterly ashamed.

Fortunately, after several similar conversations, Charlie no longer reacted as ineptly as before.

These memories flashed through his mind, and Charlie quickly found the new clothes he had prepared for the girl long ago.

Among them were a pullover sweater and a knee-length skirt—the colors of these clothes were chosen according to Pusi's preferences, namely a striking red.

Of course, Charlie also thoughtfully prepared underwear, as well as a pair of black stockings and a pair of matching black lace-up leather shoes.

The whole outfit looks a bit like a schoolgirl's casual clothes.

Charlie had actually struggled for a long time in choosing these clothes, wondering if Pussy would like them. He didn't know much about clothing and matching, after all, Mrs. Weasley hadn't passed on much of his fashion sense to him.

"Do I have to wear this?" Pusi asked, pointing to the underwear and frowning.

"...You'd better put it on." Charlie smacked his lips twice and said with difficulty.

"Okay, I'll try it. If I can't put it on, you can help me again." The girl said, picking up the pile of clothes and walking towards the small bathroom in the room, where there was a magically activated bathing device.

Charlie, who remained where he was, was conflicted. He didn't know whether he should hope that the girl would need his help or hope that she wouldn't.

"Oh no, my chicken!"

Charlie suddenly remembered the big lump of earth he had placed on the grill.

So he quickly ran over, waved his wand, and chanted the spell:

"Incendio!"

As the incantation for the fire spell was recited, a bright flame spontaneously ignited around the large mound of earth, evenly scorching it.

As the large mound of earth was once again enveloped in flames, Charlie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and prayed that the food would not be a failure this time.

If Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher at Hogwarts, saw this, it's hard to know whether he would be pleased that his student could control the fire charm so precisely, or criticize him for wasting his talent by using such a useful charm on grilling food.

Of course, Professor Flitwick, who was thousands of miles away, obviously couldn't see what was happening here.

……

Pusi is the strong girl Charlie met in Longchang, Romania.

Even though the girl was already incredibly strong, capable of killing a wild boar with a single punch or dislocating a dragon's jaw, she still went out to train every day without fail.

According to her, she wants to train herself to become stronger so that she can fulfill her mission.

As for what her mission was, the girl said it was a secret and she couldn't tell Charlie.

Charlie didn't press the matter further.

Since the two met, Pusi would always go to Charlie's place for food after each training session, and he became more and more familiar with the place, often taking a shower and sleeping there.

The girl took a quick shower as usual; less than ten minutes after she went in, the bathroom door was opened.

As she tugged at her clothes through the red sweater, she said to Charlie, "I'm not sure if I'm wearing the wrong thing. Charlie, would you like to check for me?"

Charlie swallowed hard, then cleared his throat and stammered, "As long as it's not inside out or crooked, it should be fine."

The girl felt it for a moment, then nodded and said, "No, it's not... but it still feels strange, like being held up by someone's hand."

Charlie groaned inwardly, "Pussy, could you please not go into such detail about your feelings?"

However, the girl's attention was quickly diverted.

She looked at the large, dark clump of earth on the grill, her eyes shining, and asked Charlie, "Is this meat?"

“That’s right, this is a new dish I learned to make, called ‘Beggar’s Chicken’!” Charlie introduced to the girl.

"Yes, the beggar's chicken, this is what I'm going to eat, I am a beggar!" the girl said excitedly, without any sense of self-respect.

"Um, a friend of mine taught me how to make this. Its name just has some kind of Eastern connotation, it doesn't mean you are a beggar."

Although Charlie knew that Pusi didn't care whether she was a beggar or not, he still wanted to explain it to her.

"Does that mean I can't eat it?" The girl was most concerned about whether she could eat meat.

“It’s edible. This is what I prepared for you, Pusi’s roast chicken!” Charlie gave up on pointless explanations and gave her the answer she had been waiting for.

"Great! I want to eat!" Pusi said happily.

"Then sit down, I'll take the chicken out."

As Charlie spoke, he put on oven mitts, took the large clod of earth off the grill, and placed it on the ground temporarily.

Then, he found a stick and knocked the clod of earth apart.

Inside, it was wrapped in two layers of lotus leaves. As soon as he tore open the lotus leaves, a fragrant aroma of meat wafted out.

As Pusi tore into a chicken leg, praising it as he ate, Charlie felt that his four hours of hard work had been worthwhile.

Then, he silently thanked Qin for providing the roast chicken recipe.

After two communications since the beginning of September, Charlie briefly explained his situation and mentioned that he had met a friend who particularly liked eating meat. Qin Yu then provided the car with a recipe called "Beggar's Chicken." Charlie bought all the ingredients and found fresh lotus leaves and clean yellow mud.

Although it's strange to use mud in cooking, the dish was a great success in the end.

"Here, have this chicken leg!" Pusi tore off another chicken leg and handed it to Charlie.

"Thank you!" Charlie said, taking the money.

Then, Pusi took the rest of the roast chicken and moved it aside to indicate that he had claimed the remaining parts of the chicken.

Charlie was both amused and exasperated.

Then, he took the opportunity to look at the girl's new clothes.

The red sweater paired with the red skirt looks very good and highlights the girl's sunshine and vitality.

Black stockings clung tightly to her two round, firm calves, with a patch of tanned skin between them and the short skirt...

"Charlie, are my socks not on properly?" the girl asked, her face greasy from her mouth.

Come again?

Charlie was caught off guard once again.

"No, there's nothing wrong with what you're wearing. I, I just think... it looks great, you look very good in this outfit."

Charlie felt like he was going crazy; after spending time with Pussy, he had become increasingly blunt in his speech.

"is it?"

As Pusi spoke, she stretched out one foot and lifted it towards Charlie, bending and stretching it a couple of times, as if trying to give him a better view. Perhaps she didn't control the movement well, because the girl's lace-up leather shoes brushed against Charlie's leg twice.

"...I'll go get you a handkerchief!"

As Charlie spoke, he quickly bent down and got up to find a handkerchief to wipe the girl's mouth.

"Oh, then I'll show you again when you come back."

Pusi figured that since the other person thought it looked good, he should let him see it more often.

After all, he ate the meat that the other party grilled, which can be considered a transaction that complies with the rules.

Charlie, on the other hand, was filled with regret and reflected in his heart: Saying whatever he wanted would only hurt me!
