Chapter 796 Charming Spirit
Mrs. Weasley looked at the concert tickets in her hand with mixed feelings. Although she had a lot of money, she still couldn't bear to let her husband spend the money on this kind of personal hobby that didn't help the family. She wanted to wait It's good to watch the broadcast on TV. I didn't expect Allen to give her so many tickets, and it's still a VIP area with an irregular time.
After calming down, Mrs. Weasley suddenly raised her head, glanced tenderly at her husband beside her, closed the box, and pushed it back to Alan, "Thank you, Alan, but this gift is too expensive for me to accept."
"It's nothing, Mrs. Weasley. I didn't spend any money on these tickets. My sister-in-law, Fleur, asked Ms. Warbeck for some information. After that, they got along well. Fleur wanted to give her more shows on TV." At that time, Ms. Warbeck gave my family the internal tickets of her concert, but my family can't watch so many shows... Besides, I think Celina would be more willing to see her real fans to enjoy her performance." Ai Lun didn't take back the gift box, and sincerely persuaded Mrs. Weasley to accept the gift—but what Alan was a little puzzled about was that he also sent some tickets when he went to the old man's house just now, but he didn't know why the other party's expression looked different. So happy…
"Molly, accept it, thank you Allen." Arthur secretly decided that he should pay more attention to the work of transforming Muggle items at the Umbrella Company, so as to live up to these gifts carefully prepared by Allen. At the beginning, because his wife was worried about financial reasons, he had to transfer the two tickets, which made Arthur feel indebted to his wife. Seeing Molly accepting the gift happily after hearing his words, Arthur felt a little sad, but the middle-aged man immediately After clearing up his mood, he greeted Bill, who had only met Allen in Egypt but had no close friendship, and reintroduced him to Allen.
Percy came to his father's side faster, leaned forward and offered his hand: "Professor Harris, it's a pleasure to meet you." Percy's attitude towards Allen at this time was more eager than before , He attended the banquet of the Harris family before and saw part of the power behind the other party, so he didn't dare to neglect at all.
"Nice to meet you. My father said that you are very capable, intelligent and promising in the Ministry of Magic." Allen took out his pocket and handed a gift to Percy
Allen just embellished what his father said. Percy did have some talents, and he was also the most proud son of Mrs. Weasley—although he was often ridiculed by his younger brothers for his rigid and ambitious words and deeds. , In school, he was often quoted and imitated by some classmates who didn't like him.
But when Ginny was affected by the mysterious man's diary during the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets incident in the second grade, Percy was the only one of her four older brothers who noticed the situation was wrong and tried to give Ginny medicine to take care of her. It's just that now his cleverness is used to gain power, but for the sake of his father Arthur, his future is still good.
Percy, who was flattered to accept the gift, was so excited that he was restless, leaning forward almost in a bowing posture. "Oh, did the minister say that? In fact, I still have a lot to learn. By the way, Professor Harris, would you like a cup of tea?"
"Oh, thank you, Percy." Allen looked at Percy in high spirits, and went to make tea with his own hands, as if he had received the highest honor, and laughed from the bottom of his heart. At a loss.
The twin brothers who were happily planning to come over to say hello, their ears were red now, they really couldn't understand Percy's gesture.
"Bill, come here." Arthur pointed to Bill, "Alan, this is my eldest son William Arthur Weasley, you should have seen him when we went to Egypt together." Mr. Weasley He had already noticed Percy's shortcomings, but this kid looked down on him and didn't care about his teaching.
"Hello, Professor Alan Harris." Bill's dress at this time was more individual than when he was in Egypt, with long red hair combed into a ponytail,
He wears an earring on his ear, with something like a small fan hanging from it, coupled with his clothes that are not inappropriate even for a rock concert, the whole person gives people the feeling that he has too much personality...
However, after hearing Arthur's introduction of his full name, Allen didn't know how to address him. He always thought that the other person's name was Bill. william.
"Just call me Bill." Seeing Alan's embarrassment, Bill said with a frank smile.
Compared with Percy, Bill's confident and easy-going temperament, which is somewhat like Albert, easily made Allen have a good impression of him. Sure enough, the eldest sons in the family could easily find some similarities.
After a while of pleasantries, Allen distributed the gifts he brought to everyone before sitting down on a sofa opposite the fireplace.
Near the corner of the stairs in the distance, Ron sat on the steps and unwrapped the gift Allen gave him. A Hogwarts-style wizard robe was neatly stacked in the box. He picked up the attached The card, glanced at it and put it aside, touched the wizard robe. It was different from any wizard robe I had worn before. This material was definitely not ordinary fabric, it was soft and comfortable.
Ginny came up and picked up the card that Ron had just put back in the box, "Self-ironing and self-repairing wizard robe with constant temperature function, a luxury item in Madam Malkin's shop." But Ginny was not very envious In the ancient magic class, the uniforms issued by Professor Harris to them are not only more elegant in shape, but also more powerful in function. It's more advanced, and it's completely incomparable with Professor Harris' special protective robes for ancient magic classes.
Recalling the practical gifts that Alan gave her every Christmas before, so that she could avoid using too many second-hand goods in front of her classmates, Ginny silently put down the card, she looked at Ron and shook her head in disapproval and said: "You are always jealous of Professor Harris, and you can't help but speak ill of him. Now look...how Alan treats you."
Ron's ears were red, but this time he did not refute uncharacteristically. He was holding the wizard robe in his hand, and he was dazed. How could he return such an expensive gift? Even though his family was rich, he still didn't have much pocket money. I had almost run out of pocket money to buy Christmas gifts for Harry and the others.
Ron never expected that Allen would give him a Christmas gift this year. He hadn't prepared anything with each other for several years, and he didn't set aside pocket money at all.
And Sirius, who was watching coldly with his arms folded, saw the reactions of Molly and Ron after receiving the gift, and recalled his own attitude when he had a good relationship with each other before, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth. A sentence floated out: "As long as he is willing, he is really a charming spirit who is very good at pleasing people."
Beside the fireplace, the jumping firelight was reflected on the faces of Allen and the others sitting around the fireplace. After a while of pleasantries, Allen picked up a pie and took a bite, looking at the silent big The boy said, "Harry, why are you so silent tonight? It's not like you."
"I...have...a Mandrake leaf in my mouth..." Harry tried hard to push the leaf aside with his tongue, and speak clearly, the thing in his mouth made him speak cautiously, for fear of being careless Just chew it up or swallow it.
"It turns out that you are preparing for the transformation of Animagus. It is not difficult to say that it contains leaves of mandrakes, but it takes a long time, and it is really not easy to stick to it." Allen suddenly said, "Remember to give Hermione By the way, you must know her and her Thunderbird pet, and Hermione will be happy to create the stormy weather you need for your first Animagus transformation."
Harry nodded repeatedly. In this short period of time, he had already experienced the inconvenience that an extra leaf in his mouth had brought to his life. Thinking of the various harsh conditions to persist for so long, he There is no confidence.
"Don't be intimidated, you will be uncomfortable at first, but you will soon find out how to eat and talk without breaking or swallowing it. Don't worry, this will definitely be proficient before the end of the holiday." Allen reassured that although the process was indeed a bit difficult at the beginning, it would get better once you got used to it.
Allen's reassurance not only comforted Harry, but also benefited Ron and Ginny who heard their conversation on the stairs. No matter what Ron thought of Allen, he also admitted that the Animagus In terms of transformation, there may be no one in the world who has the right to speak more than Allen. Many wizards related to the Harris family's umbrella company have successfully transformed—although he taught Draco to the other party before. The practice of being an Animagus is rather repulsive.
"However, you can only use magic spells for teeth cleaning for the time being. The Muggle tooth cleaning products Hermione gave you can't be used, otherwise the ingredients will react with the mandrake leaves." Allen said with a relaxed expression. The tone adjusted the atmosphere, "Don't ask me what will happen specifically, and don't ask Hermione, she won't let me tell other people, otherwise she will trouble me."
It's a good thing not to mention it, but now even Tonks approached her unknowingly, and her hair has changed color curiously.
"Alan, I have something I want to talk to you in private, let's go for a walk in the garden." Lupine who was sitting on the side suddenly turned around and invited Alan, "This can also avoid Tang Ke... avoiding the children... asking He Min's accident."
Lupine, who had just been taught by Arthur, changed his words clumsily.
"Exactly, you can send that poor goblin back too." Arthur pointed to the ugly garden goblin on the Christmas tree.
