HP: I Have "Pure" Magic - Chapter 144: Chris brought a girl home

“Yes.” Chris smiled, putting a hand on her shoulder, “Your mom gave me the recipe. And guess what, it’s the first time your mom’s cooking was made in this house!”

“As I said, your timing is simply magical. This can’t be a coincidence. These dishes…were meant for you,” said Chris as he pulled a chair for her. “Here, have the first bite.”

He then glanced at the empty space beside him, “Jilly, you don’t mind, do you?”

Jilly appeared and quickly shook her, “Jilly won’t, master! Mistress Dora is also fine.”

“Mistress?!” Camille’s and Appoline’s eyebrows went up into their hairline. They wondered if they heard it right… since knew what that meant.

“Great!” Said Chris hastily, happy that Dora didn’t understand. He had just casually mentioned to Jilly that Dora is his future wife.

“Now Quickly dig in.” Chris hurried Dora along.

Dora looked like she really wanted to eat her mother’s cooking, but she hesitated.

Appoline, who heard Chris’s words looked at Dora with sparkling eyes.

“Oh? So Andromeda is your mom. Chris has bragged about her cooking a lot of times. I’d like to meet her.”

Dora could only politely nod at the enthusiastic beautiful woman who could only be Fleur’s mother.

Chris smiled and explained to her, “Appoline is also a hardcore cooking aficionado like your mother,” he chuckled.

“Ah, then they’ll definitely get along smashingly well,” Dora couldn’t help but say.

“I know, right?” both of them chuckled.

“Here,” Chris then served Dora some roasted meat despite her ceremonial hesitation due to bashfulness. He remembered to put in her favorite portions as well, “You haven’t been to home in what, two years? This isn’t exactly her cooking, but it’s very close.”

Dora looked at Chris, feeling touched, and Chris also smiled at her.

“Oh dear,” said Camille as she put a hand on her cheek. It seems that she’d underestimated her son’s charm. She was thinking that this Dora girl might not reciprocate her son’s crush on her, but, she was totally wrong. This girl had already fallen, hard.

The rest of the people also found the two of them very ambiguous. Esmée was pouting the whole time.

Fleur looked at the two of them, who were once again lost in their own world. She could not believe that Chris could behave so nicely with someone.

In front of her, he acts like a total hooligan, taking joy in teasing and humiliating her. Fleur tolerated it because she thought that’s how he’ll behave with all other girls as well. But—

‘Look at him now, acting like a simp. Pathetic!’

She wouldn’t admit she’s — Nope, she just finds it very pathetic and two-faced of him to treat her like air while he behaves so sweetly in front of this girl.

Appoline looked at her daughter. As her mother, she could easily see that she was uncomfortable. Fleur’s allure wasn’t in control either. Fleur does not like not having things her way.

‘It’s a pity,’ she thought, knowing that her daughter is going to have a complicated life if things are going to go the way she’s thinking.

Chris and Dora came out of their trance and Chris coughed, “Come on! Eat fast! The rest of the people are waiting.”

Dora’s hair changed colors as her cheeks heated up. She took a generous bit of meat, and the flavors exploded in her mouth.

“Hmm…” It was very similar to her mother’s. No, it is exactly like her mother’s dish. Through her mother’s special method, the meat was cooked uniformly inside-out, and the marination, sauces, and gravy were mixed in every fiber of it.

Dora could just imagine her mother standing behind the kitchen counter, making this dish on a bright Sunday afternoon.

Chris produced a napkin and gave it to her, and only then did she realize that she’d been crying.

“Thank you. It has been so long,” she whispered gratefully.

Chris patted her shoulder as he smiled mischievously, “Don’t thank me yet. I have even better surprises planned for you.”

Then he turned to everyone, “Everyone! You just saw how great the food was! Now, let’s dig in!”

“I definitely can’t wait anymore,” said Appoline. The smell and the appearance of the food had made her extremely curious.

Camille and Appoline served food to everyone. Thankfully, Jilly had made plenty of it, since her master hates it when delicious food turns out to be not enough.

The leftovers can be put under the stasis charm to be eaten later or given to house-elves. Though house-elves eat magic as their food, they can also eat normal food.

Everyone quickly delved into the food.

“Yumm!!” Exclaimed Gabrielle, as soon as ate her first bite.

“!!!” Esmée’s eyes big eyes widened when she tasted the food and then quickly stuffed her cheeks with more food which she chewed like a squirrel.

“Hnnnn~” Appoline, on the other hand, looked like she had a foodgasm.

Fleur had to reluctantly admit that British food could also sometimes taste good.

And Durnant ate normally. You’d only know if he liked it through his eating speed and the amount he eats.

“Dora, your mom’s recipe is great!” Said Camille, “Do you also cook like this?” She asked.

Dora had always been more interested in things that involve a bit more action and thrill.

“Uh… I’m not too good at cooking. It’s my mom’s thing,” she answered honestly, not knowing that she was currently being interviewed for the position of daughter-in-law.

“Oh, it’s a pity,” said Camille, a bit disappointed.

Fleur felt better upon knowing that Dora didn’t even know cooking, but it was short-lived since she realized that she herself also didn’t know much other than making a coffee.

“Mom, can I ask her about the hair changing now?” Asked Gabrielle, trying to keep her voice low. She had wanted to ask the very first time she saw Dora do it, but Appoline had stopped her, saying it was rude.

Appoline sighed, this wasn’t the first time she was embarrassed because of her daughter’s loudmouth, and neither will it be the last.

But Dora laughed, “Of course, you can ask. See?” Dora changed her hair colors and even changed their lengths.

“Waaa—” Gabrielle clapped her hands in wonderment, and Esmée also looked with fascination.

“I’m a Metamorphagus. I can change my appearance into anyone. It’s super rare,” Dora explained proudly. To prove her point, she changed her face to Chris’s. Making the girls laugh at seeing a Chris with pink hair and knockers.

“Hey! Change back!” Chris protested.

But Dora wasn’t done yet. She changed her nose similar to a pig’s. Now, we had Chris with pink hair, a pig’s nose, and a woman’s body.

This time, even Camille, and Appoline joined in on the laughter.

“Pfft—” Fleur tried to stop herself, but a chuckle escape her mouth as well.

Chris was usually the one who pranked everyone. No one here was able to do much to him. Thus, seeing him lambasted so bad gave them extreme satisfaction.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Chris decided to let it be for this time. This was family. There’s no outsider here, so he doesn’t feel embarrassed. Another reason is, Dora is making a great impression on everyone this way and she can blend in much easier and faster like this.

Thus, he didn’t mind it. But to keep up the appearances, he still said,

“You’ll pay for it later,”

In fact, now if he does do something to her that’s a bit too much, he can just say it’s payback for this day.

But, Dora suddenly realized just who she was making fun of and remembered the old memories when Chris used to prank her mercilessly, and quickly changed her face back to normal. She got cold sweat thinking of what Chris would do to her now. Looks like she’ll properly have to apologize when they’re alone.

Now that everything was settled, Nyxie came back and borrow into Chris’s shoulder, thoroughly rubbing her and licking his shoulder and neck to erase Dora’s scent. Though Chris just chalked it up to one of her periodic antics.

‘What a territorial kid,’ he thought wryly.

The dinner was a lively affair. From time to time, Dora would make funny faces at Gabrielle and Esmée who were sitting across her, while Fleur would look on with jealousy. ‘First Chris and now this Dora.’ she thought in frustration. ‘Why does Gabby never laughs so hard and becomes this excited in my company?’

On the other hand, Camille’s assessment was still going on—

‘Hmm… cooking isn’t a problem since it can be handled by house-elves. She seems good with kids since she’s able to impress both Gabrielle and even Esmée.

She has good birthing hips as well. She’s a Metamorphagus, very rare. So the bedroom activities would also be pleasant. They’ll be able to experiment and spice things up a bit from time to time.

Personality seems honest and lovely. Appearance is also quite fetching and comely. Also, she seems to be able to handle Chris quite well,’ she nodded in satisfaction. Her son seems to have done quite well for himself.

She just doesn’t know if Dora was magically strong or not.

‘She needs to be strong. Otherwise, the future generation won’t be able to face our old enemies,’ she thought as her face turned grim for a second.

…

“So how many days are you in France?” Asked Chris as he ate the last portion. Everyone seems to have sprouted an extra stomach today since none of the food was left. Everyone had broken their previous eating records.

Dora shrugged, “Depends on how much I can learn here. After Moody’s work is done, he’ll visit every place where I can learn something from.”

Chris nodded, “So, let me get this straight. As long as you have many things to learn, you can stay here?”

“Uh… yes, that’s it. But we’ll eventually have to leave since Moody has a long list of places to go.”

“Then, you’re not going anywhere at least while here. My dad can teach you a lot. I think he knows a thing or two about Aurors.” he said with a straight face.

“….”

Everyone was speechless.

He’s the head of the Auror department. Of course, he’ll know more than just ‘a thing or two’.

But Chris wasn’t done yet. He turned to Durnant.

“Mom! Dad! Can we keep her? Pleeeeeease?”

“….”

Dora hit Chris’s shoulder lightly,

“Can you not treat me like a stray?!”

“Besides, I just came to say hello. I’m not staying,” she said, not wanting to intrude.

Chris rolled his eyes in annoyance. He really didn’t want to even talk about this, “Do you really think you have a choice? Dora, I hate to break it to you, but you’re already kidnapped. And don’t even think of escaping, the wards won’t let you. You can now only be a good captive and stay.” he said simply, patting her head.

Coming to France but staying somewhere else?

‘I’d sooner burn down the whole France before I let that happen.’

He doesn’t even need to ask his parent’s permission.

‘This young master’s parents fulfill whatever this young master asks for. Even if it’s kidnapping a Jade beauty.’

Besides, Chris had a very, very special surprise for Dora. One which she’d definitely not want to miss out on. And for that to happen, they both need time since it’ll take a lot of time to separate once they got started. Suffice it to say, even two days straight wouldn’t be enough….

After dinner, the house-elves spread the dueling circuit mat in the spacious living room, where Chris and Fleur were going to practice for their duels.

“I’m still envious you were able to participate,” Dora pouted.

“Well, it can’t be helped if the British ministry is so corrupt,” Chris said helplessly, “You’d have definitely been selected if you were a French studying in Beauxbatons.”

“But, whatever. I don’t care anymore. I’m already more than half an Auror,” she grinned as she stood on one of the sides of the dueling circuit.

“Now, let’s see your monstrous growth in this year,” she said, beckoning him with her wand.

Chris took his position as he grinned,

“Oh, you’ll be surprised, Nymy.”

“What…did you call me?!”

Warning! Target over provoked.

suggestion: Mission abort

Chris ignored the warnings of his subconscious mind and blew a kiss towards Dora.

“I said, bring it on, Nymy!”

He knows that saying the first part of her name is just as good as asking for a beating. But, there was a reason why he was doing this.

‘The people here need to know her talents.’

Currently, except for Durant, no one knows Mad eye, and any outsider might even think that Dora is after my money or something. But, there’s one thing in the Magical community that remains a constant.

‘Strength is respected’ or ‘Might makes right.’

If she shows enough of her skills, no one will object to her being with him.

‘Sorry Dora, but I need you to give it your all next.’ he thought as he readied himself for his fiercest duel, considering the fact that he’ll also have to hold back in order to not be seen as a freak.

***

A.N.: So, Dora meets Chris’s family for the first time. Of course the first impression needs to be great! No cat fight yet, since that would be too much bullying of poor Fleur. Dora is too OP, you’ll see in the next chapter.

A hardcore duel, let’s goooo!!!
