Black-and-white - life is beautiful (Translation)

51. Nice first evening

"Good evening, Hestia, you look wonderful."
The young mother blushed what suited her red dress perfectly.
"Thank you, Gogol, have a nice evening too. Incidentally, I can return the compliment, the suit is fabulous for you. especially the tie gives you that certain something. "
The goblin looked down, then pulled his face to a typical goblin grin.
"I had to realize years ago that the clothes our kind in the bank carries in the world of Muggles rather fits a bellboy. Or a ringmaster. It honors my employees, of course, that they have never made it, but I still wanted to adapt. "
"And mage clothing is out of the question?"
"My dear, have you ever seen a goblin in robes? You would not get out of the laugh. We look so silly in this kind of clothing that we can not even take ourselves seriously. such a lift is only for a birthday party, "grinned the man.
"Oh, I honestly never thought about that. Um, is not it silly that we only talk about clothes on our first date? "
"Still better than the weather or Quidditch results."
"I would not have been so cramped for that," Hestia admitted.
"Today, as you say, is our first date, so it's just natural that we're a little bit biased. But that's what makes me happy. It shows that we are not indifferent and want to make a good impression on the other. "
"With chats," the teacher chuckled.
Gogol smiled at the remark and shook his hand. since he was much smaller than Hestia, it would have looked ridiculous if he had shaken her arm. The poor woman would have dislocated her back. So he immediately decided to hold her hands. Even if it reminded him of chicks and teens again. and just as Hestia tried to stop laughing, she felt the same way. When their eyes met, they broke out promptly in the loud laughter.
"Nobody will say we did not have our fun," chuckled the lady.
"Come on, let's go before we turn into salmon roots," Gogol snorted.
Hestia nodded and could not help but think that Dora had threaded this beginning relationship. It looks similar to the woman.

gogol had decided to show his companion a special place in the goblin world. For this they would not have to drive with the car. But they could Apparate. For one thing he certainly did not want to bring his lady to the egret as his sister would have expressed it. his goal today was even Rolo's idea.
"Well here we are. I hope you have made the journey well. Uh, Hestia, are you all right? I hope you are not bad? I am sorry but here the mirror portals do not work yet. Please say something, "the goblin pleaded as he saw the glazed look of his companion.
"Beautiful," came the breathy response.
"Huh?"
Confused, Gogol cocked his head and followed Hestia's gaze and was even more confused. The witch was mesmerized by the restaurant the goblin wanted to visit with her. Although it was underground, it was surrounded by pretty trees. In addition, many sparkling flowers decorated the ambience. And now Gogol finally understood what the teacher was so excited about.
"Oh, you mean the silver trees," he stated.
"All the plants to be exact, I never dreamed it would happen."

Slowly Gogol understood why Rolo had suggested that he come here with Hestia. the good kitchen had probably not had his sister in mind. Inwardly he had to laugh about his own triviality. As if his almost twelve-year-old sister good food at heart. She did not appreciate that, like most children of her age. if it sparkled and glittered she was blown away, like a magpie.

"There are many places under the ground where such trees grow. If I remember correctly, they also appear in some of your sagas. "
"Hades has planted such trees for his wife."
The goblin smiled.
"At least the people who got lost here have accepted that. What happened earlier unfortunately more often. But no, they belong to the normal vegetation in the realm of the earth peoples. Do we want to go in? Inside you can admire more plants. even the ruby ​​roses grow very well in this garden. "
"And you're only telling me this now?" Hestia revolted, pulling her cavalier behind her.
'Rolo, you're a genius, you'll get the birthday gift of the century for that.'

It took quite a while for Hestia to look at all the trees and plants. The flowers that adorned the table even stroked it. Everything here shone in a soft light without straining the eyes. Nevertheless, you had no problems to recognize something.
"No wonder you like to live underground. It is wonderful here."
"Thank you so much."
"Why is your flora sparkling like that? Is there a reason for that?"
Gogol took a sip of wine and nodded.
"Absolutely, they not only absorb water but also minerals, or rather, they absorb precious stones and precious metals. The fruits can then even be processed into pieces of jewelery. But you should not eat them, "the goblin explained.
"Really, you can handle it?"
"Yes, but it works differently. I could give you one of these roses and she would never wither, the emerald and the ruby ​​are in it. It is also interesting to know that the plants always accept the color of the minerals they absorb. Or just the precious metal. Um, yes, a teacher has probably not been lost on me. You could say it better. "
"How did you come up with that? I am a defense teacher. My field is on it. You should see my comments under the essays of my students. sometimes the poorest run to their tutors to translate what I have fabricated. Dora was a dork as far as movement is concerned with me, it is the language that does not work as desired by me. how I should ever help my son with his homework is already a mystery to me today. This is going to be a nightmare. I hope the teddy my motor skills and Doras, ah, what's the name of what he's supposed to inherit from her? "
"Rhetoric?" Gogol suggested.
"Do you see what I mean? a nightmare, and then I start telling you about my dead wife. You have to think me totally numb, "the woman lamented.
"Such nonsense. Do you think I do not know that you still love your Dora? For me it would be much worse if you had already forgotten. But in that case I would not have fallen in love with you either. "
"Why did you actually fall in love with me? So far, I did not dare to ask, because I did not know what feelings you have exactly for me. but since you mentioned it yourself, I think it's alright. "

Gogol waited until the food was served before he answered:
"It's your right to ask me for my feelings. An appointment is finally here for that. to get to know each other and to experience what the other one feels for you. You have always been so wonderful with your son that I could not help but watch you both. You can tell your love for your child in every gesture towards him. besides, you're a good teacher, that's what Rolo kept telling. She thinks it's great how you teach and that you are also interested in the fighting techniques of other beings. "
"We demand of the magical beings that they learn our habits because we should also see beyond our own horizons. Everything else would only lead to another war. Or at least to dissatisfaction. It is up to us all to fight for a world in which our descendants can live happily ever after. That is exactly what I wish for my son and all other children. That's why I became a teacher. We lived in fear and terror long enough. It's about time we all fight for a Utopia. And yes, I know how utopian it sounds. Great and there we have again my inability to formulate decent. "
"Just like me," Gogol laughed.
"Same and like to join, as Lucius would say."
"Not Lucius, the non-magicians," the goblin corrected her.
"But I do not know any of them, at least not as well as Luc. I always find it funny to roar when our Adonis drives his wife with all the proverbs in the madness. and you should hear how it can then curse our Harry. He would have to run around with a bald head, because then she does not leave a good hair on him. "
Gogol burst out laughing, he just could not get enough of this wonderful witch. he would never have dreamed that his heart would beat for a human being. Not because he was a racist, but because the human ladies he had met so far were always too stiff. And the others were too young or already forgiven.
He decided that he would not take the chance to hide with Hestia. This woman was just as he had always wanted a partner. Above all, he loved her humor and her big heart.

"What are you thinking?" Hestia interrupted his reverie.
"To you," was the simple answer.
a gentle flush covered the face of the teacher.
"The way you blasted, it seems to have been beautiful thoughts."
"Of course," the goblin admitted frankly.
"You're really lovely. You know, I talked to Nic today, the man completely lost control of his face when he heard that I was dating a man. It was wonderful. Who would have thought that such a young man as myself would be able to upset the world's best alchemist? One should think that someone who is married to Albus Dumbledore and lives already over six hundred years has already seen and heard everything. so you always learn something new. In any case, he has scared me of a new future. And he also told me not to put my life on hold. It would not be good for me or Teddy. "
"A wise man our Mr. Flamel," Gogol announced with relief.
"However, that's why I decided not to have a bad conscience anymore, I mean to Dora. The woman would force me to cook anyway if she knew how hard I've made myself. No, I'm sure she knows. urgs, I hope I have not put any whims in her head now. "
"I would eat everything you cooked."
"That's what Dora said and even did. The madwoman. "
"And?", Gogol wanted to know.
"Fortunately, Poppy was able to cure food poisoning," the woman admitted.
"Oh, well, you do not have to do everything."
"Not that, but I'm dangerous to the kitchen. You could use me as a biological weapon in any restaurant. "
The waiter, who was refilling their glasses, could barely disguise his laughter as coughing.
gogol did not have that much restraint there.
"I like your honesty, and your joke," he grinned.
"Thank you so much. So, and now tell me. How is it working in the non-magical world? How are the people and how fun is it to manage the factories of Harry? Do you always live on the surface or do you only work there? And have your eyes adjusted to the brightness above? "
Gogol smiled at the questionnaire, this evening was so much nicer than he had thought. and for him one thing was certain, it was not the last appointment with Hestia.

Since I am sick, I would like to learn a lot for school, I did not really make it on and my birthday is over, so there will be no chapters in the coming week starting on 2.12.2019 :) maybe a chapter
