HP's Platinum Temptation
Chapter 38 Gifts
It was no surprise that everyone stared at him dumbfounded. Theodore felt that every cell in his body was relieved, especially his younger brother was among the surprised people.
"Teaching assistant! My God! Are you going to become our professor?" Daphne's voice was definitely a surprise: "We actually met a professor!"
"Calm down, Daphne." Jeffrey said immediately, "Theodore is just a teaching assistant! Not a professor! He's a teaching assistant!" His repeated emphasis seemed a little jealous.
"Did you agree?" Clarence was the first to react. What Theodore said was that he had received the invitation, not that he had accepted it.
"Not yet. I'm going to wait for Christmas and go home to discuss with you. After all, it's not a trivial matter. Besides, this is just Professor Meade's own idea. He wants to retire in two years, so he wants me to Be a teaching assistant first, and fill his position later. But this idea has not been discussed with Professor Dumbledore, and it is estimated that an interview will be needed in the end. So it has not been decided yet." Theodore spread his hands: " Maybe it will be rejected by Mr. Principal, after all, I am not very clear about what the professor of Muggle Studies would ask for."
"No hurry, I think parents will be very happy. And I guess it will be a surprise, the child who looks the most unprincipled is going to be a teacher at Hogwarts. Do you think my mother will wake up laughing at night when she sleeps and dreams? I guess Taylor is already mentally prepared to keep you as a rice bug." Clarence mercilessly complained about Theodore's unreliable image in the eyes of his family.
"Oh, shut up, don't mention those things that make me depressed, Taylor definitely looks down on me! How can I be so bad!" Theodore snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction: "Change the topic. By the way, Clay, isn't it your birthday the day after tomorrow? How are you going to celebrate?"
"The day after tomorrow is your birthday? Why didn't you tell us?" Sure enough, everyone's attention was immediately diverted.Jeffrey was frustrated that he only now found out about Clarence's birthday: "There's not much time left to prepare presents!"
"It doesn't matter. It's okay without presents. I don't really value this." Because every time Clarence celebrates his birthday, he will have a strong sense of disobedience, especially when he sees his birthday written in cream on the cake. age.
"Birthday, there will always be someone who values it more than you. Anyway, I have prepared a gift! Mom said I would bake a cake and send it here. But I'm not sure if the blade will break the cake."
"What do you like? I also want to prepare a gift for you!" Daphne also asked positively: "I think we need a celebration recently."
"Well, I think so too." Cindy, who had always been the most shy, also nodded vigorously, looking at Clarence expectantly.
"But it's Monday, so let's forget it, everyone has classes, it should be very busy!"
☆ ★ ☆
It turned out, however, that Clarence was destined to be busy, whether anyone else was busy or not.
It was a fine Monday morning, and the ceiling of the auditorium showed the same bright sunlight as the outside.It makes everyone feel very happy.
Therefore, when everyone suddenly found that the sight in the room seemed to have suddenly become a little dim, they all looked up dully.
The hum of the flapping wings of the bigger than usual owl made everyone stop their movements in unison.The crisp hooting of owls came and went, and as a large number of them crowded into the auditorium from the hole near the ceiling, the sound was deafening.
When the first batch of owls began to show a tendency to rush towards Clarence, Jeffrey's eyes widened, and he almost choked on a bite of bread that he hadn't swallowed: "Woooo—"
He only had time to cover the piece of bread directly in front of him, when the table was smashed into a mess by the owls that fell due to bumping into each other.
However, this is just the beginning.
When the second batch of owls rushed towards Mr. Lambert, all the little Slytherins sitting around him chose to run away with their heads in their arms, including Jeffrey.Clarence, on the other hand, was completely overwhelmed by owls and packages.
Packages and owls fell from the auditorium like rain.This unprecedented situation even made Snape, who had always been expressionless at the breakfast table, look obviously surprised.Dumbledore stood up from his seat with even more curiosity, and leaned forward to look forward.
All eyes in the auditorium were now trying to find the invisible figure among the owls.The Gryffindors who were farthest apart even jumped onto the long table to look around.And in the middle of the long Slytherin table, there was no way for the students to have a good meal.
The owls fluttered their wings, trying to find a place to perch on the long table, so that the recipients could untie the parcels from their laps.But Clarence couldn't see anything clearly as a result of the swarm of owls swaying in front of his eyes.
"Rist, Baker, you guys go help untie the package." Wendell, who was originally sitting not far from Clarence, was affected at the very beginning.He also didn't expect that the owls would completely disrupt the order of the Slytherin long table, and avoided the owls with a little inelegance. He immediately reacted and asked the first graders to rescue Clarence.
The little snakes who received the order woke up like a dream, and several who had a good relationship with Clarence stepped forward and held down the restless owl.The scene is also under control.But by the time all the owls had been sent away, breakfast time was almost over.
"Get smaller quickly!" Casting a shrinking spell on Clarence's pile of gifts, Wendell motioned for the former to quickly stuff the shrunken things into his schoolbag: "Since all of our breakfasts have been interrupted in a hurry, I have to Don't remind you, Mr. Lambert, if this happens next time, you'd better let me know first. This will also save a lot of fuss. After all, receiving a gift is a happy thing, and we don't need it at all Let it turn into a riot for the whole school to watch?"
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Dalton, I didn't know that such a thing would happen." Clarence, who had been surrounded by owls for a long time, was also in a mess at this time, with embarrassment written all over his face.
"Well, I believe that you were also unintentional. I don't know what day today can attract such a magnificent scene?" Wendell asked casually: "I believe it must be very special to you."
"Today is my birthday. But I don't know why there are so many presents." Clarence replied helplessly.
"Oh, is it? Then I have to say 'Happy Birthday'. If I ask you, you always surprise us. I wish you a wonderful birthday, and I'll go first."
After confirming the situation, the head of the academy greeted the Slytherins who hadn't left to leave in an orderly manner.The other college students who were watching also gradually dispersed.
After the Charms class, Jeffrey accompanied Clarence straight to the dormitory.Before leaving, Daphne gloated and said to Clarence, "You have to be thankful that we didn't have time to prepare a gift for you."
Clarence could only roll his eyes in silence.
Although his reply to the old Mr. Lister mentioned using more obvious methods to actively reveal his identity, such a bombardment of gifts still completely exceeded his expectations.Probably no one has ever thought that the owl package can have such lethality.
"Ah, I saw Rist's family crest. This should be a gift from my father." Jeffrey, who was sitting at the table helping Clarence organize the presents, happily shook the brown package in his hand: " That sounds like cloth. Could it be a robe? Our robes are of good quality. Do you want to take them apart now?"
"Forget it, I'll tidy them up first and then take them apart slowly. Where did so many people give me presents?" Clarence scratched his head, not knowing how to react to the presents on the table.
"It seems that there are many different family crests. Ah, I also saw more than one violet. Your family probably sent you gifts separately. Did they make an appointment? It's great to have a large family, and there can be many gifts .”
"Oh, that's enough, can you stop talking? I think I'm going to be afraid of presents in the future."
"No one will hate gifts! This is a sign that everyone likes you. How many people can't envy you." Jeffrey curled his lips: "If I were you, I would open one every day. According to your quantity, it is estimated that I can celebrate my birthday until 1983. It’s great!"
☆ ★ ☆
When the old Rist learned of the situation at that time afterwards, he smiled very unkindly, and wrote a letter to express his "congratulations".Although the process was terrible, the effect afterwards was achieved.No matter how sensational the scene is, it can represent how high-profile the business alliance's statement is.It is definitely not difficult for interested people to associate this matter with business alliances.
As for Clarence's gift phobia, it was out of Old Rist's consideration.
Regarding the gift incident, there was a heated discussion at Hogwarts that lasted for half a week. It was not until Clarence's receipt of one letter a day stabilized that it gradually dispelled everyone's mentality of continuing to watch.
On Saturday morning, when Clarence and Jeffrey were going to finish their breakfast early and rush to the activity room to prepare for the initiation ceremony of the new members of the Violet Club.A beautiful owl with pure white and light gold feathers flew towards Clarence not far behind the blade.
The owl, which was one size smaller than Blade, was very calm, ignoring Blade's oppressive aura, and landed in front of Clarence very quietly and gracefully, stretching out its clean and beautiful paws to him.A palm-sized exquisite gift box is tied on it.
"Wow, after so many days, there is still a gift. This owl looks like it comes from a pure-blood family, so beautiful." Jeffrey couldn't help reaching out to touch this beautiful animal.
The owl tilted its head very spiritually, avoiding Jeffrey's palm.After Clarence unwrapped the package, she straightened her wings a little bit, gave Jeffrey a look of inexplicable meaning like a human, and then flapped her wings calmly and flew away.
"Is she despising me? An owl! I was despised by an owl!" Jeffrey repeated with an unbelievable expression on his face, the hand he just stretched out was still frozen in mid-air: "Did you see Is it? I feel like I've been hit hard!"
no respond.
Jeffrey put down his hand in confusion, and looked at Lambert next to him: "What's wrong?"
An expression of extreme astonishment froze on Clarence's face, making Jeffrey very curious.It's not often that Clarence shows such an obvious emotional expression, but it happened for the second time in the past week.He stretched his head involuntarily to find out.
After unpacking the wrapping paper, what I saw was a dark brown square box with a black, green and silver tricolor badge with a snake pattern printed on it, and a light green handwriting on the lower right of the box.It was written in beautiful cursive fonts: "Lucius Malfoy."
"Teaching assistant! My God! Are you going to become our professor?" Daphne's voice was definitely a surprise: "We actually met a professor!"
"Calm down, Daphne." Jeffrey said immediately, "Theodore is just a teaching assistant! Not a professor! He's a teaching assistant!" His repeated emphasis seemed a little jealous.
"Did you agree?" Clarence was the first to react. What Theodore said was that he had received the invitation, not that he had accepted it.
