Chapter 406 This Must Be From Dumbledore!
Fred shamelessly hugged Ivan's thigh and pretended to cry, claiming that if Ivan didn't agree to come down, Wood would jump into the black lake and drown tomorrow.
"Okay, you guys need to calm down and let me think about it for a few days before talking about it!" Ivan was really annoyed and had no choice but to say.
George, Wood and others did not dare to push too hard. After seeing that Ivan was willing to give in and consider it, they temporarily stopped.
But before leaving, Wood kept giving hints to Harry, asking him to do more ideological work on Ivan.
"Oh, it's really troublesome. I don't have time to play Quidditch." Ivan sighed and returned to the dormitory with a headache.
Ron next to him had an envious look on his face. He didn't understand why Ivan was troubled at all.
If Wood and George could invite him to join the Quidditch team like this, he would jump for joy. Even if he didn't go to class, he would still have to get the Quidditch trophy. What an honor it was. ah!
Ron fantasized in his mind. After opening the door and walking into the dormitory, his attention was attracted by the package placed by the window.
"What is this? Who sent the package? Is it an early Halloween gift?" Ron quickly stepped forward.
It was a very beautiful package, which seemed to be more than one meter long. It was tied in circles with golden and red silk ribbons. There was also a card hanging at the bottom, which was written in black ink and was addressed to Harry Potter. gentlemen.
"Harry, this seems to be mailed to you! It looks strange. It doesn't even have the sender's signature on it!" Ron turned around and said hello.
Harry was confused as to who would send something to him at this time, but just looking at the packaging, it looked quite expensive.
Harry curiously unpacked the package and opened the box. He was stunned immediately, staring at the contents in the box as if he was possessed.
Ron was surprised by his reaction. He glanced into the box and took a breath.
A sparkling, exquisite flying broomstick was placed in the box, looking a little dazzling under the reflection of the sun.
Ron knew very well that it was light made of gold galleons.
"Am I right? This is a Firebolt?! Who gave it to you?" Ron finally came to his senses after a while, swallowed, and asked.
"How do I know?" Harry was also a little confused. While he was pleasantly surprised, he kept wondering in his mind who would give him such a valuable thing.
The Dursleys? That's absolutely impossible. It's too late for them to hate themselves.
Professor McGonagall? His last broomstick was a gift from Professor McGonagall, but Harry knew very well that Professor McGonagall was unlikely to sell him something as super-standard as a Firebolt.
Ivan, the only one who knew about it, did not speak. Of course he knew that the Firebolt was Sirius's handiwork, but he didn't expect that this gift was delivered in advance.
Ivan originally thought that Sirius would give it as a Christmas gift like in the original time and space, or wait until the two met to give Harry a surprise.
Banban, who was hiding in Ron's pocket, heard the movement and sneaked out to look at them.
Although Peter didn't know what a Firebolt was or how expensive it was, he could tell from Ron's words that someone had anonymously sent a broom to Harry, which made him think of something, a heart. Mentioned on the throat
Just then, another owl flew in from the window, holding a large package in its talons, which looked exactly like the package of the Firebolt.
However, holding such a large object and flying so high, even if a weight-reducing spell was cast on the package, the owl as a messenger was still very tired. It flapped its wings and swayed slowly towards the few people.
"Isn't this the second Firebolt?!" Ron stammered.
Ivan was also very surprised. Did Sirius accidentally fill in the wrong amount when buying a broom and sent Harry two Firebolts?
"This time it seems to be for you, Ivan!" Sharp-eyed Harry saw the name on the package first and said.
Sure enough, the owl dropped the package in front of Ivan, then turned around and flew away.
Ivan was extremely confused and opened the package. Different from Harry's, in addition to a Firebolt, there was a letter in the box.
Ivan opened the envelope and read it, and then he realized that Sirius had purchased the Firebolt to thank him for the things he had done for him.
In Sirius' words, he was already planning to buy Harry a Firebolt anyway, and he didn't care about buying one more.
In the letter, Sirius also asked him if he liked the broom as a gift. If he was not interested in Quidditch, he could change it to something else next time.
After reading the entire letter, Ivan was shocked by the behavior of Sirius' rich man. He was so rich that he could say "I don't care about buying more" when faced with something like a Firebolt.
Harry and Ron approached to check the contents of the envelope, but Ivan collected the envelope first.
Although the letter sent only mentioned words of thanks to him and did not say much specific content. But if the person reading the letter is smart enough and knows Sirius very well, he might be able to guess something.
After all, there are not many people who are so rich and have contact with Harry.
"Ivan, who sent these two packages?" Harry asked. He got a Firebolt out of nowhere. He was happy but also very uneasy. Of course he wanted to find out.
"Yes, what did the letter say?" Ron was also very curious.
Ivan glanced casually at Banban, who was picking at Ron's pocket and eavesdropping, and then spoke.
"This letter was sent by Professor Dumbledore. He learned that Harry accidentally fell out of the air while playing ball and broke his broom. Now he is very worried about Harry's safety.
In addition, the professor also knew that Harry had been troubled by the Dementors recently, so he sent this Firebolt in the hope that Harry could cheer up quickly! "
Ivan pretended to be emotional and almost believed it as he spoke.
There was no other way. Who made Sirius buy two Firebolts on a whim and insisted on sending a letter? He could only explain it this way.
Originally, Ivan wanted to say that the thing was sent by Lu Ping, so that it would be easier to tell a lie and less likely to be exposed.
But Lupine was too poor every day, and even wore patched clothes. It seemed impossible to afford a Firebolt, so Dumbledore had to take the blame.
Only Dumbledore could easily spend so many Galleons to buy two Firebolts.
