A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 415 Ceremonial Robe
Early on Christmas morning, Felix heard a knock at the door. It was Dobby.

"Merry Christmas, generous and great Mr. Hap!" Dobby the house-elf said enthusiastically standing outside the door. He was wearing a brown vest with a dark yellow sock protruding from the vest pocket. Also holding a purple knitted sweater.

Felix woke up suddenly.

He said tentatively, "This isn't your Christmas present, is it, Dobby? Actually, you don't need to..."

"Oh, no, Mr. Haip," said Dobby stiffly, "this is a present from Mr. Harry Potter and his friends. I went there first... You said, don't be too early or Too late to find you."

"I did say that." Felix blinked his eyes and said, he estimated the time from the dim light outside the door, it was barely six or seven o'clock now, and it would only be later for Dobby to go to Harry's bedroom morning.

"Then... uh, please come in."

He stepped aside, and Dobby's body disappeared from the doorway wall for a moment, reappearing with a large brown bag in his hand.

"It's a present from Dobby and the house-elves, all for Mr. Happer!"

In the drawing room, Dobby said so.Then he picked and picked in his big pocket, and handed Felix a small gift box wrapped in blue wrapping paper.

"What are these? Oh, a pair of socks, very nice." Felix looked at the socks in the package, and Dobby seemed to want to match the blue background color he liked, with black lightning and silver light balls embroidered on it, corresponding to With his two well-known ancient magic.

"Dobby wove it by himself," said the house-elf with big, round eyes open, "Dobby went to several shops, and always felt that the things there were not what he wanted, so he discussed with his companions and made the decision together. "

"So these are...socks?" Felix asked absently.

"That's right!" said Dobby happily. "Socks of all kinds! We each picked our favorite color, and Dobby took advantage, because Dobby knew Mr. Happer liked blue!"

"Yeah, you're right, I do like blue. Thank you, Dobby." Felix said, "Have you figured out how to spend this year? A week off—”

"Yes! Mr. Lupine is also a good man, and he gave the house elves the same holiday." Dobby was so excited that tears filled his eyes. "I'm going to celebrate the holiday with my friends, and I'll call all my friends!"

"Good idea, I remember there is a magic camera in the company, remember to take a few pictures then, Merry Christmas to you, Dobby."

……

Felix was in the office all day, he had a staggering amount of gifts and a staggering amount of work to answer.

Occasionally, when he was free, he stood by the window and looked at the snow-covered Forbidden Forest in the distance.

Beauxbatons' carriage and Hagrid's hut were like pastries in different sizes, covered with glittering icing.Only a spire protruded from Ilvermorny's quarters, and Durmstrang's black sail was at last safe from the wind, locked firmly to the ice by the frozen Black Lake.The rest of the Waggadu delegation, who admired nature, chose the place closest to the Forbidden Forest and built a row of huts with wood - very much in the style of Hagrid's hut.

Standing on a high place, Felix could barely see the footprints left by people from other schools when they went to and from Hogwarts Castle, except for the large white patches.

In the afternoon, there were more people, and it was much more than the previous two years.

Felix still remembered the somewhat deserted Christmas last year, adding all the professors and students who stayed at school, and only one table was filled, but this year's Christmas was almost the same as the normal school day.

This is because of the Yule Ball, almost all the students in the fourth grade and above chose to stay in school for the holidays, making the castle crowded.

But Felix knew it was purely psychological.

He watched the students play snowball fights for a while, and as the sky gradually darkened, Felix put on his gown for himself, and walked out of the office according to the time.

At the door of the Great Hall, he saw Harry and Ron, looking longingly at the oak doors.

"Are you expecting Miss Granger?" he asked.

"What? Well, it's not...we didn't see her either," said Harry. "We were expecting Ron's brother."

"Percy Weasley? Or Charlie?" Felix asked with some surprise.

"It's Percy," said Harry, pointing to Ron's awful robes, "Mrs. Weasley bought Ron a new dress robe and asked Percy to bring it because she heard he would Representing his boss, Mr. Barty Crouch, at the ball."

Ron muttered in a low voice, "Mum should have put it in a Christmas parcel instead of Percy bringing it over. If she doesn't think Piggy (Ron's owl) can carry that much, she can take the purple sweater first." Leave it at home, I mean, in case Percy forgets! His big head doesn't remember anything other than work...”

At this moment, a loud voice clearly reached their ears from outside the oak door. "This is your brother, Percy? He's got a really interesting talk." The speaker was Ludo Bagman, who tonight wore a rich purple robe with big yellow stars on it.

Walking with him was Percy Weasley, wearing a new navy-blue dress robe and looking happy.He saw the three people standing at the door at a glance, walked over quickly, with a bright smile on his face, and shook hands with Felix vigorously.

"I didn't expect that the first person I saw when I returned to the campus was you, Professor Haipu. Thank you for taking care of Penello. I have always wanted to take time to visit. But I am too busy recently, you may not You know, I was promoted from one of the many assistants to the one at the top, and today I am replacing Mr. Crouch..."

As he spoke, he pushed Ron aside as if he didn't see it.

Harry grinned, tempted to ask Percy if Mr. Crouch stopped calling him "Wetherby", but he resisted the temptation.

Ron stared silently at his body, looking for a place to hide a robe.A few seconds later he called Percy angrily, "Where's my robe?"

"What?" Percy asked in amazement.

"Robes! The gowns Mum bought me!" cried Ron.From the way he looked, he seemed eager to rush over and strangle Percy if Harry hadn't stopped him.

The expression on Percy's face lasted for a few seconds, and then he magically pulled out a dress robe of the same color as his body, and Ron, who was held by Harry, froze in place.

"Is this mine?" said Ron incredulously.

"You have to thank Penello, I did forget when I came here, she reminded me." Percy said with a straight face.

Ron snatched the brand new gown, gently stroked the navy blue satin on it, and said unforgivingly, "You live with her?"

"Er, not yet," Percy replied awkwardly.

"Then how did she remind you before you went out?" Ron looked suspicious.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!" growled Percy, his face flushed, "if you still want your clothes."

"Do you want me to speak well of her? Actually, it doesn't have to be such a trouble, Mom and Dad like her." Ron said.

Percy's face seemed to be turning purple. Ludo Bagman and Felix were watching the play in silence. Fortunately, Harry gave Ron a hand at this time, "Parvati and Parvati Delmar is waiting for us." So they hurried towards the bathroom.

"I remember you took out a small heart-shaped mirror before you went out, which seemed to be a kind of sound-transmitting mirror? Then you hurried back to the office, why didn't you tell your brother? He seemed to have misunderstood." Ludo Bagman explain.

Percy said with a stiff face, "Penello said I have no sense of humor."

Bagman's eyes widened. "Is this how you show humor?"

"Is there something wrong?" Percy gave him a strange look.

"Ahem!" Felix interrupted their conversation, "Let's go in early, about the sense of humor, Percy, I remember a book title, I'll tell you later."

"Really?" Percy's eyes lit up. "It couldn't be better." As they walked into the auditorium, he was still babbling in his defense: "I don't think I lack a sense of humor, in fact, each of us Different definitions of humor..."

Felix and Bagman both quickened their pace.

　I originally planned to finish writing this plot, but overestimated my own progress.
