045 Birthday Present
Early in the morning of September 18th, an owl landed in front of Granger's house.
William, who had returned home from the secret base early in the morning, came to the door of the house and showed a happy expression when he saw the owl.
"Sam, wait a minute, I'll get you some food."
William touched the owl's head, took the gift box at its feet, and opened the door and walked in.
The owl, named Sam, seemed to understand William's words, flapped its wings a few times, and then stood on the steps of the doorway, quietly waiting for the "fare".
After a while, William came to the owl with a beautiful gift box in his right hand and a plate full of small pieces of beef in his left hand.
He placed the beef in front of the owl and smiled with satisfaction as he watched the owl feast. Then he whispered.
"Sam, this is a birthday present for Hermione. You'll want to make sure to give it to her at lunchtime today. ”
Sam, is the owl that Hermione bought in Diagon Alley. It is different from ordinary owls, and after being trained by wizards, it is perfect for wizards to deliver letters and collect shopping as a courier.
Five minutes later, after Sam had finished eating the beef on his plate, he yelled at William a few times before grabbing Hermione's birthday present and flying into the air.
William watched Sam leave, then returned to the living room. He looked at the gift box on the coffee table with a happy expression.
Then he picked up the gift box and placed it on his lap, carefully untied the ribbon on it, and opened the lid.
There were a lot of items in the box, most of them snacks from the wizarding world, including frog chocolate, weird beans, and a few candies that William didn't recognize.
In addition to these treats, there is a letter and a small black box.
William took out the two items and opened the black locket, revealing a pile of chess pieces.
Not understanding why Hermione had given him a chess deck, William touched his chin and had to reassemble it and put it back on the coffee table.
Then he opened the letter again, took out the letter inside, and began to read it.
"Dear Doctor: Happy Birthday! Because of school life, I can't pick a gift that satisfies you. This magic chess piece was purchased from outside the school by my senior sister, I hope you like it. ”
"By the way, I'll tell you about the aftermath of what happened last time. The girl who scolded me behind my back finally apologized to me. Doctor, the method you taught me is really useful. ”
“...... Yesterday we had a broomstick class, and it took me a long time to get the broomstick flying in my hand on the grass because I thought it was a bad student......"
“...... The savior child, Harry Potter. It's just a kid with no brains. It's easy to do things impulsively, and you don't know it. I really don't understand how such a person can become a savior......"
“..... Finally, on my behalf, I would like to say to my mom and dad that their daughter misses them so much......"
After reading Hermione's letter, William pursed his lips and smiled. After learning that Hermione's gift to herself was a wizard's chess. He put the black box in his backpack next to him.
Prepare to take it to the secret base tonight and have Jarvis do a full scan and analysis of it.
"With my presence, Hermione no longer seems to be snubbed by her classmates like she did in the original books. Everything is moving towards a bright future..."
The girl she mentioned in Hermione's letter who scolded her was Hermione's roommate. Because when Hermione first entered the school, she was too strong and had to follow the school rules for everything.
One time the girl was late for the dorm, and Hermione actually told their prefect about it. As a result, Gryffindor was deducted 2 points.
At this point, the girl held a grudge against Hermione, speaking ill of her behind Hermione's back, and even cursing Hermione.
Hermione was very sad when she found out about this, so she told William about it. William looked at Hermione's complaint and was furious, thinking that someone would dare to bully his sister. So he stayed up late to write a plan for the girl, and asked Sam to give it to Hermione.
"Doctor, did you come home yesterday?"
Just as William was about to put the letter away, Mrs. Granger walked down the stairs to the living room, and asked suspiciously, seeing that her son was sitting in the living room so early.
"Mom, I'm a very obedient and well-behaved child. It's all because it's my birthday. You see, Hermione's birthday present. ”
William, who was already experienced in lying, pretended to be dissatisfied, and waved the letter in his hand at Mrs. Granger a few times, saying that he got up so early because he wanted to receive a gift from Hermione.
"Haha, happy birthday! William Jr. Mom was just kidding you. ”
Mrs. Granger looked at the letter in William's hand, then at the gift box on the coffee table, and then came to William's side with a smile on her face, took him in her arms, and kissed him tenderly on the forehead.
"By the way, did you give her the birthday cake that Mom prepared for Hermione last night?"
Mrs. Granger asked William as she looked at the contents of the letter.
"Already let Sam take it away. Your beautiful daughter will be able to eat her mother's handmade cake at noon today. Hey, I'm so miserable, I can't eat my mother's cake on my twelfth birthday. ”
William feigned a sense of loss and uttered his jealous remarks about Hermione.
"Yikes! Who said last year, 'Mommy, your cake is so delicious'? No cake to blame! ”
Mrs. Granger heard William's sour words, pinched his ear with one hand, and feigned anger.
"Oops, it hurts! I was wrong, dear Mom. ”
William didn't expect that his words that he inadvertently complained about last year would actually be heard by his old mother. Hurriedly pretended to be in pain and begged for mercy.
In fact, William's lack of cake this year is mainly due to his own bad luck. While Mrs. Granger was making the cake yesterday, William said he wanted to eat a very large fruitcake.
When Mr. Granger heard this, he said that one of his patients was a famous pastry chef who had ordered a fruitcake for William.
When Mrs. Granger heard about it, she didn't bake the cake for William while she was only taking care of the cake.
But Mr. Granger's patient informs him that a fire has broken out in his cooking studio in the evening, and William's cake is burned.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and when Mrs. Granger wanted to re-prepare the cake for William, William refused to make the cake for William because he was afraid that his mother would be overworked.
"Doctor, your father was a patient in the morning. When he's done, let's go to the amusement park to celebrate your birthday. ”
Mrs. Granger stroked William's hair, then rubbed his baby's fat little face affectionately.
"Okay, Mom. I promise to create a quiet world for you and Dad. ”
"Ah, begging for a fight!"
