I never expected that the witch who worked on Christmas Day would be so dedicated to her work for this reason.
The other party looked at her again: "Are you alone?"
There was deep pity in her eyes: "Poor little girl, this is peace -"
Before he finished speaking, the girl in front of him suddenly raised her head.
A loud cry came from mid-air!
The witch also raised her head and saw an exceptionally handsome and expensive eagle owl hovering in the air. Its spread feathers were so powerful and its cry was so loud. It was clearly something that even her pet shop couldn't get.
Variety!
But Lin An noticed the dark night sky, the dim lights, and the increasingly larger snowflakes flying all over the sky.
And in this vast expanse, there was an owl flying hard in mid-air, like a person who had traveled thousands of miles to come.
Snow fell on her eyelashes, and soon a blurry shadow appeared in front of her eyes.
But Lin An didn't dare to blink at all - this was like a scene in a dream.
The eagle owl was holding on to the heavy package at its feet. It looked like it was struggling, so much so that it had to flap its wings with extra force.
However, its appearance was very familiar to her.
At Hogwarts, she used this eagle owl to send letters to Harry several times...
An inexplicable suspicion echoed in her mind, so much so that although she clearly had no feelings for Christmas, Lin An couldn't help but feel excited again.
"Arik!"
She called loudly, and then stretched out her arms. Sure enough, the eagle owl chirped again, and then flew over in an instant!
As soon as her paws were loosened, the heavy package fell into Lin An's arms. Then the other party grabbed her shoulder in a familiar manner, and rubbed Lin An's hair with his big furry face, looking very intimate.
At this moment, Lin An's whole body seemed to be wrapped in the warm hot springs, and there was no part of his body that was not ironed.
I obviously received a lot of gifts in my previous life...
She didn't even know what to say at this moment, she just took two deep breaths, suppressed the inexplicable sourness in her eyes, and then walked back to the purple-haired witch with the eagle owl.
"What's the best owl snack here? Please give me a pack."
Witch:......
She looked dryly at the rare and expensive eagle owl, then at the forest bank of old Muggle clothes, and finally numbly took out a package of exquisite owl snacks from the counter and opened it.
After collecting the money, I still couldn't help but said: "This eagle owl looks very expensive..."
"Yeah."
Lin An raised his head and smiled at her, then touched the eagle owl's big head and watched it eating snacks obediently: "Arik seems to like this snack very much."
"certainly!"
The witch instantly became proud: "This is a new product that is planned to be released tomorrow!"
However, Lin An had already opened his backpack, took out a pen and paper, and then wrote:
【Draco, thank you for your gift.】
[I also prepared some interesting things for you, but they have been taken away by other owls. I hope they can be successfully delivered to your manor.]
【Happy holidays, looking forward to seeing you when school starts.】
Eric seemed to be tired and quickly ate the bag of snacks. Lin An fed him some water, then touched his furry and warm head and whispered:
"Thank you, Arik, please take the reply to Draco."
The handsome and domineering eagle owl had a special kind of cleverness. At this moment, he called softly and rubbed her cheek affectionately. Then he flapped his wings, grabbed the note, and quickly disappeared into the vast night sky.
The snow was falling harder and harder, and goose-feather-like snowflakes were flying in the air.
But when people look up, they will find that the whole sky seems to be under their feet.
Even brighter fireworks were burning on the street, and the purple-haired witch was ready to make a move and couldn't wait to close the store door.
Lin An held the heavy package and felt his heart was filled.
She smiled at the witch in a good mood:
"Merry Christmas."
Because of this gift, she didn't even have the heart to go to the restaurant for a big meal, so she just held it in her hands, quickly packed a well-received pizza, and hurriedly left Diagon Alley.
It wasn't until she returned to the hotel and placed the package on the bed solemnly that she took a deep breath——
"Fluorescence."
A fist-sized fluorescent ball hung above her head. Lin An solemnly opened the cloth bag wrapped outside. What appeared inside was a pure black velvet gift box tied with a golden-green ribbon.
She stretched out her fingers and pulled on the smooth ribbon. The friction between the silk and her skin was very much like her soft heart at this moment.
And when the whole box was opened, Lin An couldn't help but be stunned.
At the top of the box is a letter.
She took the letter away and saw a neat layer of gold galleons piled underneath.
The luster of gold is particularly dazzling against the flash of fluorescent light.
The other items were clothes tied tightly with ribbons - a cashmere sweater embroidered with silver-green snake patterns, a pair of plush boots, and a black fur coat that was as light as a cloud but thick and airtight.
Velvet cloak.
And at the bottom is an old copy of "Magical Curse".
Lin An opened the letter.
[Lin An, I hope you won’t be offended by this money.
I just thought you might need it for the holidays - we are friends, aren't we? I asked my mother to help me choose the clothes, and she said they would suit you very well.
By the way, she and her father saw you at the station. I will communicate with them again during the summer vacation, hoping to invite you to the manor to have better memories.
In addition, this book "Magical Curse" is not a treasure in the family, but my father accidentally bought it from Knockturn Alley. It is not of great value, but it is relatively novel. I guess you may like it.
Yours faithfully
Draco]
This letter was written very briefly and carefully, without even a sloppy stroke.
The cursive characters were commonly used by nobles, and Lin An even spent some time deciphering them.
The way he finished it in one go is very much like the way Draco thought about it carefully and copied it carefully——
This is what his homework looks like.
Now she was holding the letter and looking at the heavy 200 gold galleons in the box, and couldn't help but laugh——
No wonder even Arik seems to be struggling.
This fool, doesn’t he know that giving money directly may hurt a lot of inexplicable self-esteem?
This thought flashed through my mind.
The fireworks outside the hotel were banging, the noise and Christmas songs were playing together, and the fire in the corner was burning brightly, creating a cozy atmosphere.
She was alone in this dilapidated hotel, tightly clutching the black, cloud-like plush cloak...
Then, a drop of water dripped down, spreading hidden traces on the black cloth.
After a long time, she took a deep breath, then waved her palms to transform a low stool in the corner into a Christmas tree, and the window opened a wider gap.
At this moment, Lin An was really looking forward to his other Christmas gifts.
She thought that she finally found the beauty and meaning of the festival in this strange country and strange world.
Hmm...Draco, standing on a small stool and extending his hand to the savior, is actually considerate and warm in my heart.
