Chapter 18: Gift
Iger gave Hagrid a custom oversized dragon fur coat, more than 40 Galleons, and the price was super expensive...
From three days ago, Iger had customized it at Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, and just took it out today.
The gift given to Professor McGonagall is an emerald necklace that has cast spells. It looks dignified and noble, and the price is also not cheap. As long as you gently stroke the necklace, the necklace will fly out of two winged unicorns. so pretty.
He gave Professor Flitwick a wand maintenance kit, and Snape a delicate dark green robe. God knows if that guy will wear it, but Iger doesn't care, as long as he likes it.
The gift to Professor Sprout is a three-piece weeding set endorsed by an herbalist: dragon leather gloves, a dust-proof apron and a small shovel that can be turned into various weeding tools at will.
Aisha's is a delicate bracelet, a black silk dress can be spread out with a light touch, and there is a place on the inside of the arm where you can put a magic wand.
The gift for Dumbledore is much more interesting. Iger bought a whole box of cockroaches and a lot of wool socks.
I vaguely remember that it was mentioned in the book that Dumbledore saw himself in the Mirror of Erised holding a lot of wool socks. Wool socks were a metaphor for family in the UK. Iger couldn't find a son for him, but he did. A sock can still do it.
Basically, the professors of the school and those who knew Iger gave gifts, and even the elves in the cafeteria Iger bought a piece of chocolate each.
"My God, it's really expensive to spend Halloween, isn't it?" Iger tilted his head helplessly.
Hermione shook her head in disapproval: "Iger, the things you bought are too expensive. I think everyone else uses that kind of silver coins."
"Maybe." Iger shrugged and took Hermione to get the beer. An Apparition appeared at home.
The Grangers were sitting on the sofa at this moment, feeling a little overwhelmed. When they saw Iger coming back, they immediately stood up and greeted them.
"Iger, it's great that you're back..." Chris looked at Iger and asked, "Have you cleaned up the house today?"
Iger shook his head, somewhat puzzled.
"When we came back, we found that the lawn was neatly tidied up, and everything in the house was tidied up. Even the ledger in the safe was refreshed." Jane said in a panic.
Iger was stunned for a while, why is this style so familiar?
Immediately, an excited voice sounded: "Mr. Iger!"
In front of several people, Kaka, who was covered in pillowcases, showed her figure with tears in her eyes and looked at Iger excitedly.
"Kaka?" Iger looked surprised.
After a while, a few people sat at the dining table, and Kaka sat next to Iger.
"You mean, Snape gave you a sock on behalf of the principal and told you my position, didn't you?" Iger smiled.
Kaka nodded: "Kaka has left Hogwarts, Kaka is free, this is really scary."
"Don't worry, that big eagle nose just wants you to come to me, it doesn't matter, I will take you in." Iger rubbed Kaka's head and introduced it to the Granger family: "This is Kaka, a family member. Elf."
After a long while, Iger felt Hermione's ink and ramblings. She kept criticizing the house-elf system and trying to convince Kaka to live a free life.
"Kaka doesn't want that kind of life that is worse than death, Kaka wants to serve Mr. Iger!"
That's what the elf's screaming voice said. It used to be called "Mr.", but now it's called "Master."
Iger didn't know if Snape was misappropriating the public property of the school. After all, strictly speaking, these house elves were also part of the property of the school.
The Grangers also expressed that they were happy to take in Kaka and did not need Kaka to work, but they were obviously terrified of Kaka.
"House elves are creatures that have been enslaved by the wizarding world for a long time. They have been instilled with this kind of thinking since birth. We can't change them, but we can only treat them as nicely as possible." Iger told Granger One family explained: "Strong demands on them will only break them down, and you can only take your time to change that."
The arrival of Kaka freed the Grangers from doing any housework, and Iger once again lived a life prepared for breakfast when he opened his eyes in the morning.
However, Hermione couldn't bear to see Iger's appearance, and kept asking Iger to release Kaka, which made Kaka always stay away from her like a plague god.
Compared with Hermione's behavior, the Grangers were much more rational. They understood what Iger meant. They just tried to give Kaka as much kindness as possible, such as letting him eat together, buying him some exquisite sheets or something. Yes, this time Kaka was very moved.
Early in the morning of Halloween, Luck fluttered his wings and got into the window, and slammed his head into Iger's bed. He seemed tired enough to laugh.
Reaching out to untie the small bag on Lack's feet, Iger turned the bag over, and then a rumbling sound came out, and Iger's room was suddenly filled with all kinds of things.
What Iger saw the most was the various foods that had been enchanted. At this time, they were floating in the small transparent orbs, which seemed to be given to him by the group of elves in the Hogwarts cafeteria.
Hagrid gave him a robe, and Aisha gave him a very irritating red shirt, a shirt that can change with her body shape.
The things sent by professors are very common. Professor McGonagall sent a notebook full of Animagus transformation experiences. Professor Flitwick sent an exquisite locket, but unfortunately it was not Slytherin. the one...
Professor Sprout gave a small potted plant with fleshy flesh, and when you poke it, it will spray stinky water... Iger didn't know what it was.
What surprised him the most was Snape. Iger never thought that Snape would give him a gift.
Opening Snape's box, there were all kinds of potions, marked with their names and usages. What excited Iger the most was a bottle in the corner. The words on it made Iger breathe a little heavy.
Fuling agent…
A full hundreds of milliliters of Fuling agent!
This is really a big portion... Iger looked at the glass bottle in front of him with some excitement, and then cherished it and put it away.
This thing needs to be boiled in a crucible for the first half of the year. A small bottle is sky-high, not to mention that it is equivalent to half a bottle of mineral water...
Hagrid was right, Snape was indeed an invisible billionaire!
Suddenly I felt that the robes for Snape were a bit cheap. Well, I'll give him something better for Christmas.
In the next room, Hermione heard the sound of knocking on the door, and as soon as the door opened, she saw all kinds of things in the room, and the little girl was dazzled.
"I think, you can tell Kaka that you don't have to cook tonight." Iger smiled.
……
Time flies, and more than a month has passed. The winter in the UK is still wet. Iger thinks it may be because it is closer to the sea.
In the Granger's house, Iger was nestled on the big soft sofa, holding a thick notebook in his hand, and a pot of hot pot and a big glass of cold beer were boiling on the small coffee table beside him.
Not butter beer, but German beer in Chris' refrigerator.
Iger lazily tightened the big robe on his body, listening to the rustling of snowflakes falling outside the window, very comfortable.
Hermione has always condemned Iger's lazy behavior, thinking that Iger was wasting his life. Whenever this happens, Iger will look at her with a smile and say:
"I'm just waiting for you to grow up."
Then Hermione would go into the room with a blushing face and ignore him.
At least for now, this is the best way to deal with Hermione's nagging. The little girl has always looked like a proud little swan, which sometimes makes the Grangers very headaches.
At present, Hermione's enthusiasm for magic is very high, and Iger's magic book has basically been read by her. Seeing her like this, Iger also helped her order a copy of "Hogwarts, A History of the School".
Under the cover of Kingsley, Iger also taught her some simple magic spells with strong practicality, such as floating spell, flying spell and so on.
It took a lot of work for the little girl to learn the Flying Spell, but this also surprised Iger. The attention and magic power this spell requires is not what an eight-year-old girl should have.
Returning to the room and changing into Muggle clothes, Iger walked out the door and walked towards Hermione's school.
The school bell rang, and the little girl walked out of the school with a big schoolbag on her back. When she saw Iger, her eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.
Two small figures were walking on the snow, and after turning into an alley, the figures disappeared again with a 'pop'.
Not long after they got home, the Grangers returned home.
Shaking the snowflakes on his body, Chris looked at Iger and smiled: "It's great that you guys are back so early. Every year before Christmas, the streets get rough."
"It's not peaceful?" Iger was a little strange: "Is there more thieves on the run?"
"Probably." Chris shrugged. "When I was going to the store today, I found that the small supermarket next to the hospital was robbed."
"Kaka can protect Mr. Granger's family!" Kaka said in a shrill voice as she raised her chest and raised her head.
"We're fine. I've served in the military before. I have a gun, and of course I have a gun license." Chris smiled: "But you have to be careful."
Iger nodded, and Kaka stood proudly beside Iger: "Master Iger is the most powerful wizard!"
"Although I'm glad you can say that, I still think the most powerful wizard is Albus Dumbledore." Iger laughed.
"I remember you said that Dumbledore...is the headmaster of Hogwarts?" Chris took off his clothes and hung them on the hanger and sat at the table: "He must be very powerful, right?"
"Quite powerful..." Iger nodded in agreement: "He is known as the greatest white wizard in the past 100 years. He has countless aura titles, and is a very terrifying but very reliable wizard."
"It's incredible. I think Iger, you are already very powerful, with all kinds of magical means." Chris was a little excited. In fact, he had always been yearning for the magic world.
"These are very common in the magic world, and they are not uncommon things." Iger grinned: "I just have too strong and irritable magic power."
"Really? I really want to see what the magic world looks like." Chris laughed.
"Yes." Iger nodded to him: "If you have time, you can do it at any time. In fact, I can also help you buy some magic world things. Although you can't cast spells, wizards have a lot of very convenient things, such as changing teeth, potions, etc. of."
Chris laughed, he remembered the scene when the two first met.
The family sat around the dining table and began to pray. Jane patted Iger's hand, which was about to grab the turkey leg, angrily. Snow fell outside the house, the fireplace inside was burning, and the house was very warm.
"It's strange, the house is obviously a lot drier this winter, isn't it?" Jane sat at the table in a sweater and helped a few people share the turkey.
"It's the waterproof and moisture-proof spell." Hermione laughed. "I read the whole house with Iger."
"It seems that our little princess can't wait to go to a magic school?" Chris laughed and joked about his daughter.
"I believe that Hermione will be very good no matter where she is." Jane said with a smile.
Hermione had a smile on her face, looking very happy.
"I think successful education should be inseparable from parents." Iger tilted his head: "There is a saying in the east that children are not taught, the fault of the father, which means that the children are not disciplined well, it is the fault of the parents, And usually, the kind of person the parents are, the kind of person the child will be."
Chris nodded: "Iger is right, it's true, for the sake of your wisdom, do you want a beer?"
"Chris!" Jane patted her husband angrily: "How could you abet Iger to drink, he's still so young."
Iger hurriedly winked at Chris and motioned him not to tell Jane that he had stolen the drink.
Chris waved his hands shyly: "Just kidding..."
"But Iger is right." Jane put a thick piece of turkey leg on Iger's plate angrily: "I saw a model of parental education failure today!"
Jane looked a little angry: "Today, a couple came to the hospital and took their child to have their teeth extracted. God, to be honest, the child can't get any fatter, and he has a bad temper. He looks about the same age as Iger, but he is stupid. , especially his parents, I remember they were called Dursley, they don't seem to be from the city of London, those parents are so spoiled!"
"The anesthetic won't hurt, but it will definitely hurt when the anesthetic is given. When the child starts to hurt, he will scream and wave his arms frantically, as if I am killing him." Jane said with some hatred : "The parents are even more terrifying. They tried to step forward and force me to pull me away again and again. They looked like they would pull out their own teeth! The child was obviously spoiled, and the molars were almost rotten by eating candy, but fortunately, it was just a tooth replacement. The age of will be longer in the future."
Iger was stunned for a while. Why does this description sound so familiar?
The Dursleys?
"Aunt Jane, have you seen a thin boy? He was dressed in rags and had a scar on his head." Egger asked.
"That's not true. I don't think they look like a tattered family for children to wear. Everything about the child is the best." Jane thought for a while.
Iger knew that according to the character of the Dursley family, Harry would never be allowed to appear in front of outsiders.
Although I had no idea about Harry, Iger felt that this family was indeed quite complicated.
First of all, Vernon, who is typically well-behaved, can't tolerate any abnormality in his eyes, but to be honest, as a father and husband, that fat man is quite interesting... As for the dislike of Harry, it is probably due to Penny's influence.
Then there is Penny, because she was jealous of her sister's magical talent, she was rejected for writing a letter to Dumbledore, so she was extremely distorted and tried her best to forget about the magical world, but she still clearly remembers Azka From the point of view of what the class's guard was, the desire for magic still hadn't disappeared from her mind.
Then there's Dudley, Iger didn't want to say anything, a typical spoiled kid, but after Harry rescued him later, he thought of putting herbal tea at Harry's door and moving house, thinking of Harry to see, this kid still Some help...
It is estimated that the reason why the family does not want Harry to go to Hogwarts, Iger thinks that Vernon is for a normal life, and Penny is a kind of revenge. As for Dumbledore's revenge or Lily's revenge, Iger finds it hard to say, or is it both?
Hope, anger, jealousy, unwillingness...
Iger smacked his lips, this old lady is really complicated enough...
