Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1299: Confession
"Happy Birthday, Harry!"
"What?"
Harry opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Ron who was sitting on the opposite bed in a daze.
"Birthday, your seventeenth birthday," Ron reminded.
"Oh, thanks."
Holding back a yawn, Harry stretched his arms and stretched his body lazily after sitting up from the bed.
"Finally I can get rid of the **** trace and use magic normally!"
"When are you going to leave?"
Ron took out a package out of nowhere and threw it at Harry with a smile.
"If there are no accidents, we will first visit the group of students who were expelled by Snape tomorrow, and then set off for Godric's Hollow." Harry took the birthday present thrown by Ron, but did not open it. The desire to open, for him now, he no longer has the excitement of receiving a birthday gift, and he has more important things to do now.
"Don't you take a look at the birthday present I prepared for you?" Ron pointed to the package and said, "Open it and have a look, this is the present I picked out with Hermione."
"What is this?"
After Harry opened the package, he looked at the items in the package suspiciously.
"Wand cover."
Ron pointed to his waist, where there was the same thing with a wand sticking out of it.
"I ordered it from Fred and George. They also use this thing. After all, it's not a good idea to stuff the wand in your pocket." Ron pulled out the wand from the wand case, and introduced it to Harry excitedly , "Don't look at this thing as mediocre, it has a traceless stretching spell inside, it can easily store the wand, and it is easy to pull it out."
"It's a bit like a Muggle police holster." Harry checked briefly, inserted his wand into the holster, and after pulling it out briefly, he found that this thing is really practical, and he doesn't need to worry about it when he needs it. Encountered the embarrassing situation of not being able to draw a wand.
"Very good!"
Seeing that Harry was satisfied with the gift he had chosen, Ron said triumphantly, "And it's very practical."
"Thank you, Ron."
"You're welcome, what do you think Hermione will give you?" Ron said mysteriously.
"Don't know."
Harry didn't intend to guess, the present can only feel the surprise when it is opened.
However, Ron on the opposite bed had already said to himself: "I guess it's probably dueling gloves, advanced dueling gloves, Fred and George both have a pair, it is said that they are made of dragon skin, and can be used with bare hands The one that shoots the curse into the air is a very advanced defensive item, and it will not lose its magic power even for a long time, and it is usually made by Albert himself."
"I don't have so many Galleons to buy such expensive things." Hermione stood outside the bedroom door, handed her present to Harry, and sent her own blessing: "Happy birthday, Harry. "
"Thank you, Hermione."
Harry took the package again, opened it and found that it was really a glove, so he smiled and put it on in his hand, took out his wand, tried it, and said to Hermione, "Very practical gift."
"You're welcome Harry, those are just dueling gloves bought from Fred." Hermione glared at Ron with a big mouth, very dissatisfied with this guy's nonsense.
"I thought Albert would give you a discount." Ron shrugged, "The dueling gloves he gave you are great."
This is also the last time Ron accidentally saw Hermione maintaining the glove. He thought that Hermione also planned to transfer the dueling glove to Harry.
"It's time for you to get up, Lupine and Tonks came to help early in the morning, and they are preparing the birthday cake in the kitchen." Hermione seemed to think of something again, and added: "By the way, there are others sending The birthday presents are all in the hall, you better get up quickly."
"I'm up already," Ron muttered.
"Then go down and help."
After Hermione and Ron went downstairs to help prepare Harry's birthday party, Harry also got out of bed.
As soon as he changed into his pajamas, he saw the wooden door being pushed open.
"Happy birthday, Harry."
Ginny poked her head in and saw that Harry was the only one in the room, she couldn't help but took a deep breath, and seemed to muster up her courage before entering Harry's room.
"Thank you, Ginny."
Harry noticed that Ginny was staring at him intently, so he quickly turned his eyes away from her.
"I heard from Hermione that you will be leaving soon." Ginny asked tentatively.
"Yeah, after Zongsi disappeared, we should go to complete Dumbledore's mission." Harry did not deny this, and the entire Order of the Phoenix knew that Dumbledore had assigned him an important mission.
"I don't know what would work for you," said Ginny, looking down.
"Don't worry about it."
When Harry raised his head to meet Ginny's fiery gaze, the expression on his face was a little stiff.
"Actually, I have always liked you very much."
Facing the sudden confession, Harry suddenly panicked.
"I'm sorry, but Hermione told me that you've already made up your mind. I feel like if I don't say anything, I might not have a chance in the future." Ginny didn't cry, but took another step towards Harry.
"If it was before..." Harry shook his throat, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we are not suitable now, there are some things I have to do."
"Actually, I already guessed that this would end up like this. I just hope to get some comfort from you." Ginny stepped forward, raised her head and kissed Harry's lips.
At this moment, Harry's eyes widened involuntarily, and his mind went blank. He felt as if he had drunk a large glass of fire whiskey.
Harry kissed Ginny back awkwardly too, with one arm wrapped around her back and the other stroking her long, lightly scented hair, a little obsessed with it.
However, Harry is very clear that love has left him long after Dumbledore's death, and now he is no longer suitable for love.
So, Harry gently pushed Ginny away and whispered sorry.
"This is a stupid mistake, if I'm still alive after this war is over..."
"No, you're right, maybe we should wait until this **** war is over before we fall in love." Ginny winked at Harry and said, "Happy birthday."
"I dare say this would make an impressive birthday present."
Fred appeared out of nowhere, and said to Harry with a smile: "I brought you some things that you may use."
"When are you?" Harry asked awkwardly.
"Just when Ginny confessed to you." Fred was not embarrassed at all, and comforted with a smile, "There is nothing to be embarrassed about when you are in love."
"I'm not embarrassed." Harry was still a little embarrassed, and hurried downstairs after changing his clothes.
"It's nice to be young!" muttered Fred.
Just entering the kitchen, Harry saw Hagrid placing a large package on top of the pile of birthday presents.
"Long time no see, Hagrid."
Harry stepped forward quickly, and gave Hagrid, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, a hug.
"Happy birthday, Harry." Hagrid hugged Harry lightly, and sighed softly, "Time flies so fast, six years have passed in the blink of an eye, I remember I was the one who delivered the letter to you .”
"And you made Dudley grow a pig's tail." Harry couldn't help laughing.
"I don't remember much."
"Harry, this is for you."
Sirius appeared in the kitchen at some point, handed Harry a box in his hand, and urged with a smile, "Open it and have a look!"
The box contained a small gold watch.
"At the beginning, when I was an adult, your grandfather gave me one." Sirius recalled, "Although I know you already have a detection pocket watch, I think there is nothing more suitable as your adult watch than this." A gift."
"Thank you, Sirius." Harry put the gold watch on his hand and began to unwrap the presents from others.
Hagrid's big package contained a thick cloak made of animal fur. It is said that Hagrid asked Madam Malkin from Diagon Alley to help sew it.
Lupine and Tonks sent a looking glass and a small demon mirror together, Moody sent his own Auror notebook, and other members of the Order of the Phoenix gave Harry a magic tent and various outdoor activities. items.
Fred and George sent Harry a bunch of Defense Against the Dark Arts props and a big bag of emergency dry food.
"Is this... a cookie?"
Ron looked at the big bag of tightly packed biscuits with a face full of astonishment.
"It is said that it is emergency food for Muggles. Although it is not very delicious, it can last you a long time~IndoMTL.com~Albert said that you might need this thing." Fred said with a smile, "It's not a good idea to eat mushrooms every day."
"I think we need to stock up on more food," Ron said, turning to Hermione.
"No, you can go back to the headquarters to rest at any time, this place will always be your strong backing." Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and said.
In the song "Happy Birthday to You", everyone shared the big cake made by Lupine, Fleur and Sea Jones together, and shared a sumptuous dinner together, and then chatted about the next plan.
"Hagrid, are you really not going to help?" Hermione looked at Hagrid and suggested, "I think you should listen to Albert's suggestion."
"I can't leave Glop behind." Hagrid shook his head.
"Hagrid, you have to understand that if the Death Eaters really want to catch you, you still have to abandon your brother." Sirius felt that Hagrid was a dead-headed one.
Perhaps, he really took that giant brother too seriously, but people have to grow up, and Hagrid can't take care of him forever.
