A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 413: Robe
On Christmas morning, Felix heard a knock at the door. It was Dobby.
"Merry Christmas, generous and great Mr. Hap!" Dobby the house elf said enthusiastically standing outside the door. He was wearing a brown vest with a dark yellow sock protruding from the vest pocket. He also held a purple knitted sweater in his hand.
Felix suddenly woke up.
He tentatively said, "This is not your Christmas present, is it, Dobby? Actually, you don't need to..."
"Oh, no, Mr. Haip," said Dobby stiffly, "this is a gift from Mr. Harry Potter and his friends. I went there first... You said, don't Too soon or too late for you."
"I did say that." Felix blinked and said, he estimated the time from the dim light outside the door, it was barely six or seven o'clock, the time for Dobby to go to Harry's bedroom Only sooner.
"Then... uh, please come in."
He moved out of the way, and Dobby's body disappeared from the wall of the door for a moment, and when he reappeared, he had a large brown bag in his hand.
"This is a gift from Dobby and the house-elves, all for Mr. Haip!"
In the drawing room, Dobby said so. Then he picked and picked in his big pocket, and handed Felix a small gift box wrapped in blue wrapping paper.
"What are these? Oh, a pair of socks, very nice." Felix looked at the socks in the package. Dobby seemed to want to match the blue color he liked, with black lightning and silver light **** embroidered on it, Corresponding to his two well-known ancient magic.
"Dobby wove it by himself," said the house-elf with big, round eyes open. "Dobby went to several shops, and always felt that the things there were not to his liking, so after discussing with other companions, we went to the shop together." decision."
"So these are...socks?" Felix asked absently.
"That's right!" said Dobby happily. "All kinds of socks! We each picked our favorite color, and Dobby took advantage, because Dobby knew Mr. Happer liked blue!" "
"Yeah, you're right, I do like blue. Thank you, Dobby." Felix said, "Have you figured out how to pass this year? I remember Remus saying that Give you a week off-"
"Yes! Mr. Lupine is also a good man, he gave the house elves the same holiday." Dobby was so excited that tears filled his eyes, "I'm going to celebrate the holiday with my friends, and call all my friends!"
"Great idea, I remember there was a magic camera in the company, remember to take a few pictures then, Merry Christmas to you, Dobby."
…
Felix is in the office all day, he has a staggering amount of presents, and a staggering amount of work to answer.
Occasionally, when he is free, he stands by the window and looks at the snow-covered Forbidden Forest in the distance.
Beauxbatons' carriage and Hagrid's hut are like pastries of different sizes, covered with glittering icing. Only a spire protruded from Ilvermorny's quarters, and Durmstrang's black sail was at last safe from the wind, locked firmly to the ice by the frozen Black Lake. The rest of the Waggadu delegation, who respected nature, chose the place closest to the Forbidden Forest and built a row of huts with wood - very much in the style of Hagrid's hut.
Standing on a high place, Felix could barely see the footprints left by people from other schools when they went to and from Hogwarts Castle, except for the large white patches.
In the afternoon, there were more people, and it was much more than the previous two years.
Felix still remembered last year's Christmas, adding all the professors and students who stayed in school, only one table was filled, but this year's Christmas was almost the same as when going to school normally.
This is because of the Christmas ball, almost all the students in the fourth grade and above chose to stay in school for the holidays, which made the castle crowded.
But Felix knew that this was purely psychological.
He watched the students playing snowball fights for a while, and as the sky gradually darkened, Felix put on his gown and walked out of the office according to the time.
At the door of the Great Hall, he saw Harry and Ron, looking wistfully out of the oak doors.
"Are you expecting Miss Granger?" he asked.
"What? Well, it's not... We haven't seen her either," said Harry. "We were waiting for Ron's brother."
"Percy Weasley?" Felix was a little surprised.
"Yes," said Harry, pointing to Ron's terrible robes, "Mrs. Weasley bought Ron a new dress robe and asked Percy to bring it because she West will attend on behalf of his boss, Mr. Barty Crouch."
Ron muttered in a low voice: "Mum should have put it in the Christmas package instead of Percy bringing it over. If she thinks that the piggy (Ron's owl) can't bring that much, she can take that first." Put a purple sweater at home, I mean, in case Percy forgets! His big head doesn't remember anything other than work..."
At this time, a loud voice clearly reached their ears from outside the oak door. "This is your brother, Percy? He's got a really interesting talk." The speaker was Ludo Bagman, who tonight wore a rich purple robe with big yellow stars on it.
Walking with him was Percy Weasley, wearing a brand-new navy blue dress robe, with a smile on his face. He saw the three people standing at the door at a glance, walked over quickly, with a bright smile on his face, and shook hands with Felix vigorously.
"I didn't expect that the first person I saw when I returned to the campus was you, Professor Haipu. Thank you for taking care of Penello. I have always wanted to take time to visit. But I have been too busy recently. You may not know that I was promoted from one of the many assistants to the one at the top, and today I am here instead of Mr. Crouch..."
As he spoke, he pushed Ron aside as if he didn't see it.
Harry grinned. He was tempted to ask Percy if Mr. Crouch didn't call him "Wetherby" anymore, but he resisted the temptation.
Ron stared silently at his body, looking for a place to hide a robe. A few seconds later, he shouted angrily at Percy, "Where's my robe?"
"What?" Percy asked in amazement.
"Robes! The gowns my mother bought me!" cried Ron. From the way he looked, he seemed eager to rush over and strangle Percy if Harry hadn't stopped him.
The expression on Percy's face lasted for a few seconds, and then he magically pulled out a dress robe of the same color as his body, and Ron, who was held by Harry, froze in place.
"Is this mine?" said Ron incredulously.
"You have to thank Penello, I really forgot when I came here, she reminded me." Percy said with a straight face.
Ron snatched the brand new gown, gently stroked the navy blue satin on it, and said unforgivingly: "You live with her?"
"Uh, not yet," Percy replied awkwardly.
"Then how did she remind you before you went out?" Ron looked suspicious.
"Don't ask nonsense!" Percy growled in a low voice, his face flushed, "if you still want your clothes."
"Do you want me to speak well of her? Actually, it doesn't have to be such a trouble, Mom and Dad like her." Ron said.
Percy's face seemed to have a tendency to turn purple, Ludo Bagman and Felix were watching the play in silence, but at this time Harry gave Ron a hand, "Parvati Padma and Padma are waiting for us." So they hurried towards the bathroom.
"I remember you took out a small heart-shaped mirror ~IndoMTL.com~ before you went out, it seemed like a kind of sound-transmitting mirror? Then you hurried back to the office, why didn't you tell your brother? He seemed to have misunderstood. said Ludo Bagman.
Percy said with a stiff face, "Penello said I have no sense of humor."
Bagman's eyes widened, "Is this how you show humor?"
"Is there something wrong?" Percy gave him a strange look.
"Ahem!" Felix interrupted their conversation, "Let's go in early, about the sense of humor, Percy, I remember a book title, I will tell you later."
"Really?" Percy's eyes lit up. "It couldn't be better." As they walked into the auditorium, he was still babbling in his defense: "I don't think I lack a sense of humor, in fact, Each of us has a different definition of humor..."
Felix and Bagman both quickened their pace.
