Wizards of Hogwarts
Chapter 109 Return to London and Christmas Gifts
Dorothy opened the layers of velvet curtains, letting the morning breath and elegant sunlight float into the warm bedroom at the same time.
Elrohir opened her somewhat sleepy eyes and looked at the little maid. She hadn't seen her in half a year, and it seemed that Dorothy had not changed much. Her plump and round face was still very cute.
"Good morning, Dorothy." Elrohir stood up from the bed and greeted the little maid with a smile, "Long time no see."
"Good morning, young master. It's been a long time indeed." Dorothy turned around, put her hands together in front of her belly, and gave Elrohir a brief salute, "Do you want me to prepare some clothes for you?"
"No need." Elrohir waved her hand. When he was a child, he still needed a maid to change clothes and feed him, but after he reached the age of six, he no longer needed her help.
Dorothy didn't say anything, she just walked to the bed and waited for Elrohir's next order. This is the job of a personal maid.
"Brother, are you back?" Elrohir asked Dorothy while getting dressed.
"Not yet," Dorothy replied, "Mr. Butler informed that Master Eddie will only be free on Christmas Day."
"After all, he is an adult who has already gone to work. Alas, I am too soon." Elrohir pretended to sigh. The three-thousand-year-old monster was still indulged in the fun of pretending to be a child.
Dorothy covered her mouth and smiled: "Master, you are only 11 years old this year."
"That'll be soon." Elrohir was fully dressed and walked out of bed, "Is breakfast ready?"
"Do you want me to bring you to your room?" Dorothy asked.
"No, mother definitely wants to see me at the dinner table." Elrohir shook her head, "You go out first, Dorothy, I will go to the restaurant later."
After a hearty breakfast, Elrohir was pulled by her mother Edith for a long, intimate mother-son conversation, and then she finally regained her freedom.
In the morning, Dorothy sent Elrohir the gift packages he had ordered before, which were to be given as Christmas gifts to the teachers and students of Hogwarts.
"Dorothy, ask Frank to prepare the car. I'm going to London later." Elrohir said to Dorothy while wrapping the gift with a signed greeting card.
"Don't you need me to send these things?" Dorothy asked. Generally speaking, small things like Christmas gifts do not require the young master to do it himself. He can just do it himself. This is what he did in previous years.
"No, I need to deliver these things personally." Elrohir replied.
There is no such thing as a postal system in the magical world. All letters and packages need to be transported by the "animal power" of owls.
Elrohir does not have its own owls, and cannot send gifts to Daphne and the others through the postal system of the ordinary world. They can only rent a few owls from the Leaky Cauldron.
Speaking of which, the items prepared by Elrohir are not magic items, but very common Muggle industrial products. The one for Daphne is a rag doll, for Nina is a pair of cashmere gloves, and for Blaise. It's a pack of milk candies. Friends from other colleges who don't have close friendships also have their own small gifts.
"What about lunch?"
"I'll eat over there in London. I'll probably be able to return to the manor in the afternoon or evening," Elrohir said.
Near noon, Elrohir carried the magical suitcase and once again stepped through the door of the Leaky Cauldron.
The bar owner Tom, whose hair was about to fall out, was still standing behind the bar, wiping the bar with a rag whose original color could not be seen clearly. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately raised his head and said hello: "Good afternoon, little guest, do you need anything? "
"Hello, Mr. Tom, does the Leaky Cauldron provide owl service?" Elrohir asked politely.
Before enrolling in school, he had exchanged his maximum personal limit of 100 Galleons at Gringotts, and then used a trick to earn 350 Galleons in labor fees under the pretense of handling pounds for goblins, for a total of 450 Galleons.
It is estimated that such a sum of money would take an average first-year student four to five years to spend, but after the two large purchases of the Magic Suitcase and the Nimbus 2000, plus the scattered items on the school list, items, as well as the school's magazine subscription, owl mail, etc., when Elrohir returned home during the Christmas vacation, there were only six Galleons left in his pocket.
This is also the reason why Elrohir did not choose to buy Christmas gifts in Diagon Alley. Galleons were not enough.
"Yes, yes." Boss Tom nodded quickly after hearing Elrohir's words. The Leaky Cauldron is the gateway between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, and owl service is indeed indispensable. "The rental of an owl The cost is N5 a day.”
Although Elrohir knew that there was an Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley, he did not know its specific location. The price offered by the Leaky Cauldron was completely within his affordability, and he did not need to deliberately go to the post office to send it. letter.
"That's it, I want it"
"Send Christmas gifts to your classmates, right?" Boss Tom said with a smile, showing his gums that were missing several teeth. "Don't worry, the owl in the Leaky Cauldron will definitely not disappoint you and will definitely be able to send the gifts before the Christmas holiday." To everyone’s home.”
Elrohir nodded, and then took out some gifts that had been prepared long ago from the deformed lizard pocket on his waist, and placed them one by one on the bar counter, forming a small pile of packages.
"Do you need me to give you a specific address?" Elrohir asked.
"It's not really necessary, just tell us the name." Boss Tom said, "The owls are cast with fixed magic. As long as the wizard needs it, they can deliver the letter to the target person."
It must be difficult for prisoners in the wizarding world to hide their traces. Elrohir twitched the corner of her mouth.
Elrohir handed over the people to whom the letter needed to be sent one by one to Boss Tom. These were all teachers and students in Hogwarts. As the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, it was obvious that Mr. Tom also had a basic understanding of these people. understanding.
There were still three days before Christmas. Elrohir happily paid 7 Sickles based on the number of packages he had. The price was indeed within his affordability, not even a Galleons.
In the next time, Elrohir needs to think about how to give gifts to the professors.
To be precise, they were giving gifts to Dean Snape and Professor McGonagall.
Like Hogwarts: The Wizard. Hogwarts: The Wizard.
