Chapter 123 "Gifts"
Draco finally visited Ilvermorny by himself, and of course, he didn't forget to take Crabbe and Goyle with him.
Although these two guys are a bit lazy, they are obedient enough. In Draco's own words, he has the precise planning, and the others only need to execute it.
I don't know where his confidence comes from.
The take-off platform was officially named the Rainbow Enclave after discussions between Esther and Hermione, which satisfied Marn's colorful hobby from a special angle.
For this name, he even bought a lot of colorful lights and installed them on the surrounding fence, just to make it worthy of the name. However, this pile of lights was only turned on once, and the brightness was too high, which almost caused several children to lose their temper. The wizard shook his eyes.
The time has come to March, and Walder and Dumbledore still have not returned, and it is not known what they are busy with, but this does not have much impact on the residents and guests of the Black Tea House.
Especially the two guests, Harry and Ron, always felt like they were going to two schools at the same time. They were in the classroom during normal classes and came to the Black Tea House to take extra classes after class.
Moreover, Hermione is much stricter than the professors in the school. She has no good way to deal with Harry, but it is much easier to deal with Ron. She often "intimidates" Ron by sending letters to Jasmine, even though she knows that she is big The probability is just talk, but Ron obviously doesn't have the guts to bet...
Ron, who insisted that he could not suffer alone, would not let Harry run away. At some points, his eyes were sharper than Hermione's.
They both work much harder here than in the classroom.
But it was Hermione who was here, and once Hermione left, her true colors were immediately revealed.
Just like this moment, Hermione had just been dragged by Esther to help Professor McGonagall, and the two young gentlemen, who were sitting in front of the coffee table and reciting books, immediately collapsed on the sofa.
Ma En put down the book in his hand: "You two...when Hermione comes back, if I ask you how you memorized it, tsk tsk..."
"Just die... I wish Hermione could give me a death spell now, so that I can sleep a little longer..." Ron looked at the ceiling desperately and murmured, "Marn, I may not be able to hold on. It's summer vacation, please help me send the body home..."
"Okay... how about... you guys meet later? Or read a novel for a while?" Ma En threw the book in his hand onto Ron's stomach.
Ron didn't even look at it: "No, man, don't show me anything with text just yet..."
Harry, who was next to him, picked it up and took a look: "New Era? The author... dazzling smile? What is this?"
"Hmm...a fantasy story book about the harmonious coexistence of wizards and Muggles. It is very well written. If you are interested, you can read it. I have a complete set here."
Harry flipped through a few pages and was immediately attracted by the story inside: "It's really well written..."
Ma En smiled and nodded.
This is nonsense, but of course it is well written. The person whose pen name is "Dazzling Smile" is Lockhart, who has captured the hearts of countless women. There is nothing to say about the plot shaping and writing style of the story.
It was Walder who discovered his potential at that time. He felt that it would be a waste to have him squatting in Dumbledore's office, so he directly made the "relaxation basin" into two layers, one layer to throw the roaring letter, and the other layer to let Luo Hart stayed inside and made up stories. If he didn't make up a good story, he would open the partition...
After such a long period of training, Lockhart now has a stress reaction even when seeing a piece of red paper, let alone ranting letters.
Old Walder also treated him well. He would often get him some mice, chickens, ducks, etc. and throw them in to "replenish" him, and he would take him with him when he went out.
After all, the stories he wrote are really contagious and very helpful in changing the old ideas of wizards... Now some people have questioned why wizards have to hide?
Ma En was a little speechless that the effect was so good, but after thinking about the fact that the wizarding world is very small, and if a few people raise questions, there will be enough movement, he was relieved.
Harry was reading a novel, and he was just a little fascinated. Ron reached out and grabbed the book in his hand and threw it to Marne, and then quickly picked up the textbook. Harry was not a fool either, he was just confused for less than a moment. Within seconds, he knew that Hermione must be back. He sat up straight and picked up the textbook in front of him...
After searching for a long time, they finally remembered where they had just reviewed, and felt relieved. At this time, Hermione and Esther just opened the door and walked in.
In addition to the two of them, there is also a guy who just returned from abroad...Draco...
"Brother, I have told you many times that I will not go to Ilvermorny with you. Just give up..."
"Okay, Marn, I'm not here to tell you this." Draco said indifferently.
"Then who are you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that my aunt asked me to bring you something when I came back."
Only then did Ma En see that he was holding a bag in his hand. He quickly went over to take it and opened it to see that it was several sets of clothes and some snacks such as foreign candies.
He reluctantly pushed the thing into Esther's hand. This was really... I don't know what Miley was thinking. She always regarded herself as a child, and she didn't like sweets very much...
When Esther sent the things upstairs, Draco chatted for a while and then hurried away, saying that he was going back to discuss the holiday with Snape.
Draco was sent away - in fact, before he could send him off, Draco was almost gone, and Marn didn't even have time to ask about the current situation of Ryan and Miley.
Looking at Draco, whose butt seemed to be on fire, Marn shook his head, took out the "brick", pressed a few numbers, and dialed out. A waiting tone came from the receiver.
A few seconds later, a gentle female voice came from the other side: "Marn?"
"Hi, Mom."
"Oh~ dear, I just finished talking to Margaery and want to say a few words to you - I'm still not very good at using this thing, dialing is a bit slow, you know."
"I just want to tell you that I have received the clothes and candies you asked Draco to bring me...don't buy candies next time. I really don't like this stuff, but...thank you anyway."
"Candy?" Miley's voice paused and said, "I didn't bring you candy. You didn't like eating this when you were a child. How could I bring you candy? There should only be a few sets of clothes... those clothes It’s a little larger than your usual size. It’s a birthday gift I bought for you in advance. Sorry, Ma En, we still can’t go back to your birthday this year…”
Marn didn't think much about it. Draco probably put those candies in casually after eating them on the road. Hearing Miley's apology, he quickly said: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
"But we will go back to Godric's Hollow during your summer vacation this year. The business here will be taken care of immediately. You can just come here occasionally in the future."
"Huh? That's great."
