Chapter 201 Visit
After unpacking the gifts, the three of them went to the lounge together.
Tifa looked at the Knicks angrily. "Where's my gift? Why a bill. ”
"You didn't give me a gift, why should I give it to you?"
"Nix, I gave you a gift, but I can't afford it." Tifa shouted.
"If you can't afford it, send me the bill? Doesn't that make it me buy a gift for myself? ”
"That's what I picked for you!"
"I picked it for you too, as long as you pay the bill, you can get a gift."
"Mom, look at him." Tifa turned to Diana to be coquettish.
"Don't tease your sister, give her a gift."
Nicks looked at Tifa, who was hiding behind his mother's back and grimacing, and took out the gift with great displeasure. "Next time you send me the bill, don't think about gifts. Giving gifts depends on your heart, you look at Luna, she gives handmade gifts without pocket money, this is called sincerity, you are blackmailing. ”
Hermione erupted in exclamation, and Harry showed her the firebolts he had received.
"What's going on?" Diana asked.
"Harry received an unsigned gift, and we don't think that's right." Nicks explained.
Diana pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't I forget to sign it?" ”
"No, Mommy's gift is signed, and Harry loves it."
Hermione and Ron argued, "We should tell the professor that Sirius Black might have sent it." ”
Ron was silent for a while, out of selfishness he didn't want Harry to use the Knicks' broom, thinking that after the Knicks left, he suggested that Harry return the broom to the Knicks.
His tone was not so sure: "Maybe Professor McGonagall gave it to Harry, she used to give Harry the Light Wheel." ”
"Then let's ask, and if it's not Professor McGonagall, hand it in." Hermione was resolute.
Harry thought that if it weren't for Nicks' broom, he would really have left this firebolt behind, and if there was a cursed ...... on it, he shuddered, it was too insidious.
There were only a few professors in the auditorium who were eating breakfast. Professor McGonagall first greeted Diana, and Diana and Professor McGonagall exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after breakfast, Nicks and Tifa took their mother on a tour of the school.
They didn't go underground, Nicks knew that the underground was once a dungeon of the castle, not suitable for Diana to visit, there were classrooms and infirmaries on the second floor, and Nicks took his mother to see it.
There was a showroom on the third floor, and Diana took a closer look and asked, "Didn't the Lestrange family win any honor?" ”
Nicks laughed at himself: "In school, Lestrange is crazy, unsociable, freak, we are famous in school, but we don't stop there, every big event in the wizarding world has Lestrange's shadow......"
"It's just that you've never won an honor!"
Nicks said, "Mom, don't demolish me. ”
Lupin leaned against the door of his office and said weakly, "Merry Christmas and welcome to Hogwarts, Lady Lestrange." ”
"Merry Christmas. You look weak, Lupin. Diana exclaimed.
"I'm okay, can I come in and have a cup of tea?"
"Okay."
Lupin led them into the office, and the Knicks could see that Lupin was in a state of mind and counted the days, which turned out to be the days of the month.
"How does it feel at Hogwarts?" Lupin served everyone a cup of tea.
"Very good, I thought the classroom here would be a room full of weirdness, a thin wizard boiling potions, making the students fight and throwing the students into the pot if they can't learn." Diana joked.
Tifa on the other side interjected, "Sounds like Professor Snape can do something." ”
"Tifa, don't speak ill of the professor. I've met Professor Snape and he's a good guy. Diana lectured.
Nicks stared at the weakened Professor Lupin for a moment. "Professor, I have found the materials, and I am in the process of separation and purification, and waiting for a while will allow you to get rid of your current weakness."
Lupin thought to himself that he didn't need it, and it was good now. But he was reluctant to get rid of the werewolf completely. After hesitating, he remembered Dumbledore's words and told him to learn Occlumency before drinking the potion.
He digressed the subject: "How's Occlumency?" ”
"I've learned. This book is returned to you. Nicks pulled out the book in the lady's bag.
Lupin: "Isn't there a problem?" ”
Nix shook his head: "It's written very clearly, no problem." ”
After a few more small talks, Nicks left with his mother.
In the library, Mrs. Pince was not at the door.
Diana asked, "With so many books, can I borrow a few to read?" ”
Nix: "Mrs. Pince, the administrator, is strict and won't lend you books. If Mom wants to see it, you can go to the study to find it, and you can see what you can find, and you can't see what you can't find. I've told the house-elf Jin Yan that he'll put away the books that are dangerous to you. ”
"Books are also dangerous?" Diana was puzzled.
Mrs. Pince heard someone coming, came out from behind the shelves, and replied, "Of course, books are dangerous, and those stupid students go to the forbidden area to steal books, and every year a few unlucky ones are sent to the infirmary. ”
"If it's dangerous, why don't you put it away?"
"We've tried to put them all away, but there's always smart guys who can find them, and they don't know about those things that aren't fatal, and they don't care about them and cause accidents. Later, Dumbledore asked me to put less dangerous books in the library and set up a forbidden section. "Mrs. Pince didn't say what to do with the most dangerous books.
Diana understood, put the non-lethal books in the open, let the mischievous students peek at them, and put away the really dangerous books.
During Mrs. Penss' small talk, the two discovered that they both loved to read and shared a common language, and Diana promised to give Mrs. Penss some of the Muggle literature she had read.
Say goodbye to Lady Pins and come to the Astronomy Tower, where you can't see the stars during the day, but you can see the whole of Hogwarts from the tower.
The frozen Black Lagoon, the smoky Hagrid Hut, Professor Sprout's greenhouse, the Quidditch pitch, and the Forbidden Forest as far as the eye can see.
Tifa lamented: "Last year there were no monsters, the scenery was beautiful, but this year it is not good, those monsters are very eyesore. ”
"It's a pity, Mom can only come this time, those monsters leave, Mom can't come again."
"It's okay, you can take a picture of me later."
"Okay, my brother and I will take a picture for you." Tifa hugged Diana and whispered yes.
As he went downstairs, he came out of the Headmaster's office, and he greeted, "Merry Christmas." ”
"Merry Christmas, Headmaster."
"Let's go down for lunch together, there are not many people in the school, and we are all more lively together."
"Okay." Diana happily agreed.
