Chapter 13: Prelude to Back to School

After a disastrous day at the Ministry of Magic, Holly gave herself an excuse and quickly fled the scene of the fire. After www.biquge.info didn't prepare to return to the Ministry of Magic for this holiday, Holly began to wander the streets of London again.

Although the house-elves had been instructed to buy all the books, potions, and even parchment and ink they might need, there was still one item on this semester's list that Holly needed to buy himselfβ€”the gown robes. Considering the particularity of the dress, a specially designed dress, which even needs to be measured, modified, and expensive many times, just for a short moment of light, to a certain extent, the dress is actually a one-time decoration with a high price.

However, no matter how expensive the price is, it is nothing for Holly, after all, the ancestors of the Potter family, who like to wander around the world, have left an unimaginable huge fortune to their descendants, including land and shops. There are Muggles, and so do wizards.

Dresses, whether wizards or Muggles, are needed. Even because of some Muggle habits, it directly led to the development of this type of clothing in the Muggle world.

In a Muggle-owned cafΓ© on the streets of London, a girl in a black dress is sitting on the sofa in a window on the second floor, sipping the coffee in her hand. On the other side, a snow-white girl also leaned on the sofa and twisted her head out the window.

"Your dress is ready?" asked Erinka.

"There's still some work on it. Holly replied lightly.

"In which store? I think the dresses in Madame Morkin's shop are just fooling people right now. It's just a mold out. ”

"Yes? I don't even care about any of these things. ”

"If you ordered the dress from Madame Morkin, I suggest you have a new shop. ”

"I want to ...... Even if there is, it doesn't matter, it's not that bad anyway. ”

"Yes. I also don't believe that those shops that make dresses dare to neglect such an important customer as you. ”

"Not really. I'm just wondering if my custom dresses will be too trendy. ”

"Oh, it's been a long time since there have been any new and exciting costume designers in the wizarding world. ”

"yes, so...... I think the clothes have arrived. Holly said as he saw the car parked downstairs.

"Muggle fashion?" asked Erinka tentatively.

"yes, but I think it's okay. ”

The wooden staircase sounded, and several people came up from downstairs, the leader looked dressed quite fashionably, and the few who followed followed were waiters, each carrying several bags of clothes.

"Hello, Countess Peverell. The leading designer walked up the stairs and walked straight towards Holly, stopping when he was still two steps away, and bent down in salute.

"Hmm. Have you brought everything?" asked Holly, seemingly casually.

"Yes, according to the size you gave and the results of your personal visit later, we have prepared the dress according to your requirements. ”

"Then put it over there. "Holly has been standing next to the booth, where there are already a lot of bags of clothes.

According to the request, the waiters took turns to walk over and put the bags neatly as required, but there were still a few sneaky glances at the other clothes bags.

After getting the check and being kicked downstairs, several waiters also discussed it in the car.

"Hey, Frank, you know what? I saw the clothes made in the studio that we were doing business with every day, and it seemed to be in there, the one across the door from us. ”

"John, what is that, I also saw a bag for the royal family's workshop. Look at the quantity, not much less than us. ”

"Gary, what about you, what do you see?" Frank and John saw that Gary, who usually liked to talk nonsense, did not speak, and pushed him by the hand.

"Huh, Frank, John, what's wrong?"

"We're asking you a question, Gary, what other stores do you see there for clothes? The ones that Frank and I have seen don't seem to have any worse backgrounds than ours. ”

"Me...... I saw the bag of our design director's father. ”

"Huh? Don't lie to us. How is it possible that our father, who had turned down an invitation from the royal family ten years ago?" John retorted.

"Then I can't say anything. But...... Anyway, if you get a bonus, what do you do with so much. Gary wanted to say something, but finally stopped again.

Little Hangton Village, in the big house of Holly. Luna, who was dressed in a moon-white dress, stood in front of the mirror and didn't know what she was thinking, the moon-white clothes, with light gold and brown hair, made Luna's whole person seem to be more ethereal. In another room, Holly was staring at the open closet in a daze, only to see that in addition to the newly moved dresses that could be piled up on the bed behind him, the wardrobe was neatly hung with dresses of various sizes and types from small to large.

"Dolly!" Holly shouted.

"The hosts. ”

"What's the deal with the clothes in the closet?"

"This is what Mistress Lily requested, and every quarter of the year she prepares enough clothes for the little master according to the situation of the little master. Even if the owner was not here when he was a child, these clothes were cut according to the size of the little master at that time. ”

"Really?"

"Dolly doesn't lie. ”

"Okay. You can go down. ”

"Yes, master. With a snap, the house-elf disappeared into thin air again.

"Alas...... What a troublesome choice. Looking at the perfectly fitting gown spread out on the bed, and the few distinct evening gowns hanging in the closet, Holly fell into deep thought again.

Outside the window, an owl from Hogwarts is flapping its wings, keeping itself floating up and down.

The Weasleys

The girls stayed in their rooms, looking at the beautiful evening dresses on the bed, nodding at one moment, then shaking their heads, not knowing what they were thinking. After pondering for a while, the two girls glanced at each other, as if they were silently communicating something.

The twins hid in their rooms, also unaware of what they were doing.

In Ron Weasley's room, Harry Potter got a dark green velvet dress that Mrs. Weasley had chosen for him, and Ron Weasley, holding a long velvet dress that looked like purple, with moldy ruffles at the neckline and lace-like cuffs, was muttering something to himself.
