Chapter 676 Gifts
The movement outside has nothing to do with Alan for the time being.
At this time, on the top floor of the Ravenclaw tower, Allen, who had been in this room for a long time, put away the mithril wand in front of him that had not yet been added to the wand core, and then stretched out his finger to point towards the front. The crucible of molten gold was burnt red, and the melted liquefied mithril flew out of it and floated in front of him. It had no shape at first, but then it twisted and turned into a human little finger exuding metallic luster. After engraving the ancient rune, it became darker, but just the fluctuation of magic power emitted by it can make keen wizards perceive the power contained in it.
This mithril finger that can break demons by contact and charm magical animals three times a day is ready, but thinking of the next itinerary, Allen can't help but feel embarrassed, "This finger can only be regarded as compensation. , do growth wands and potions look a little small? Let’s mention some regular gifts..."
Allen was cheering for himself, but when he thought that a few days had passed, besides sending Luna a letter after resurrecting Luna, he roughly explained the reason and told him that Luna was basically safe and sound. In addition to visiting before the meeting, in fact, he has been using the affairs of the Ministry of Magic to evade this matter, delaying the time to apologize and explain to the other party - although in essence he dropped Xenophilius' little finger without saying a word to save Lu Na, the other party must be willing to know the truth, but thinking about what Xenophilius told Luna when he went to Durmstrang as an exchange student this semester, if he had bad thoughts about Luna, let Luna treat Luna as an exchange student. The words of casting a curse by himself made Allen, who was originally cheering for himself, couldn't help but let out another sigh.
Looking up at himself in the small silver mirror used for divination and prophecy, Allen couldn't help but yelled to himself with some grievances: "I'm still a child!"
But complaining is always useless. Allen put the potion and wand he made into the gift box that was equipped in advance, and put the gift box into his pocket with no trace stretching spell, and then went downstairs to try to find his mother. He felt that it would be best to let his mother accompany him to come forward under such circumstances. All he had to do was stand aside and bow his head to admit his mistake. Presumably, relying on his elders to accompany him, it should be no problem to settle Xenophilius' loss—at least He shouldn't beat himself up just because he suddenly became a grandfather...
Passing by the training room downstairs, Allen couldn't help but smiled wryly and shook his head when he heard the movement inside. After knowing the strength gap between himself and Luna, Penello has been pestering Luna for special training for her during this time. It's not that Alan didn't notice the inner conflict and depression, but the current situation of Alan made it too late for him to solve the matter and make up for the harm he caused to them-and the matter of Helena has not been faced and resolved.
As a result, when he went down to the first floor, Allen learned from Hermione, who was bent over the umbrella and the further plans of the Ministry of Magic, that his mother had gone shopping in Diagon Alley with Daisy and Fleur due to the busy days. With a pile of things piled up in front of Hermione, Alan's sense of guilt made him teleport himself to the Ministry of Magic after a few words. He didn't want to disturb his mother's shopping trip, so he chose his father who was originally a candidate.
Allen knocked on the door of the minister's office. Seeing Allen, Owen Harris, who was busy, waved his hand and ordered John Bartha, who was reporting, to leave the room. He poured a cup of tea for Allen in a good mood , asked: "Finally willing to come out? Why do you have time to come to the Ministry of Magic today?"
"Father, I would like to ask you to accompany me to visit Luna's father, Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood." Allen directly explained his intentions, "I think he should be formally invited in this case Entering the interior of Ravenclaw Tower."
"Oh, go visit Mr. Lovegood." Mr. Owen Harris nodded approvingly, "Luna paid a huge price to save you, and visiting his house is the right thing to do."
"Besides, father, in fact, the thing is like this..." Alan said eagerly, "It's not just to thank Luna for saving me,
It's because I cut off his little finger, and I have to make amends—and I have to tell him the truth about Luna's true identity, he actually doesn't know the specifics..."
Despite the embarrassment and embarrassment, Allen still told the reason why he wanted to visit Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood this time, so that his father, who agreed to accompany him, would also be mentally prepared.
Owen Harris, who had been smiling all the time, heard the description of his youngest son, and his gentle smile froze on his face. The next moment he smiled more kindly, "Alan, I suddenly remembered that since I want to invite Luo Mr. Fugood enters the tower, then I have to go to Diagon Alley to find your mother, in order to hold a welcome ceremony for Luna's father, and Fleur, they also have to notify everyone to have a formal meeting, or we Harris I'm sorry, so I can't accompany you to visit Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood, please take my greetings and compliments, and we will meet directly in the tower at night."
"Eh?" Allen watched his father sitting on the chair get up neatly, only to realize that the grandson wanted to run away...
"Go, go, don't delay, it's impolite to be a guest at someone's house too late." Owen Harris interrupted Allen, who was about to speak, and pushed the chair straight while maintaining proper etiquette , and then suddenly Apparated out of his minister's office and disappeared without a trace.
"I should wait until I get to the place and tell him the purpose!" Allen, who couldn't let himself swear, had to step into the shadows and leave the room.
On the hill in the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole, a strange house stands under the blue sky. The huge black columns look like a castle in a wizard chess game. Allen has been waiting for news at his home since the letter. He did not go to St. Mungo's Hospital or go to work at the TV station.
Teleported to the door of Lovegood's house, Allen put a packaged TV set he just bought at his feet, then reached out and grabbed the eagle-shaped door knocker, and knocked three times on the heavy black door , with the sound of impatient footsteps coming from inside, the door opened in less than ten seconds.
"How is Luna now?" Xenophilius, who had dark circles under his eyes, asked Alan before he opened the corner of his mouth to ask. His long, cotton candy-like light blond hair was dirty and messy, and it was obvious that he hadn't bothered to take care of himself these days, which made him look a bit crazy and stupid like he used to be a few years ago.
"She's completely fine, Mr. Lovegood." Alan was disrupted by the other party's impatience, and quickly told the other party that Luna was safe and sound, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
Alan Harris couldn't help but meet Xenophilius Lovegood's eyes, and there was a moment of silence. Alan felt that the air was full of embarrassment, so he bent down a little stiffly and put the TV on top of it. He picked up those gifts again, and slowly handed them over to Mr. Lovegood——Alan's black robe with a rather villainous style and the gift specially selected in bright yellow wrapping paper in his arms. The visual conflict caused by the sluggish movements made him look a little crazy.
