Arms dealer from Hogwarts

Chapter 48 Christmas Presents
Hogwarts in December, covered with snow.

The heavy snow like goose feathers and the ancient towering castle look like a beautiful winter picture scroll from a distance.

Jamie's life has also fallen into peace again, without triggering any messy bloody plots, just living a peaceful and peaceful campus life in such a stable manner.

On the last Saturday before Christmas, Jemini came to Hogsmeade.

The snow on the ground was up to his knees, and Jamie ate a cup of hot and sour powder noodles while wandering back and forth in the streets of Hogsmeade village.

Today's lunch at Hogwarts is toast bread, beetroot salad, drink is milk tea, all sweets...

Even Jemini, who is used to the British eating habits, finds it hard to accept this time. He has been a staunch spicy party in his previous life and this life, and being able to eat bland British food is already the limit he can bear.

In fact, British food is not as outrageous as the rumors. There are many traditional British dishes that actually taste very good. For example, Jamie’s favorite baked potato, which is called Jack Potatoes in the UK. Although it is a baked potato, it is actually baked. Very particular, and there are many ways to eat.

But there are not many types of British dishes, and you will get tired of eating them over and over again. Unlike China, you will never get tired of eating in Chongqing for a lifetime.

So today I can’t blame Jemini for being hypocritical. A staunch spicy party has eaten British food for so many years, but this time he simply fed sweets directly, and no one can stand it.

Fortunately, there are some things like chili, pepper, black pepper and mustard in the UK. Although they are not spicy, they are more or less edible. Otherwise, Jemini might have to consider emigrating to France...

"Shu-ha~"

After drinking the last sip of soup, Jemini casually threw the cup noodle bucket into the trash can beside him. Snape at the door of the Devis & Bans store next to him seemed to be blind, completely ignoring this and did not go out. Permission also ran to Hogsmeade's dangling first years.

Students in the first and second grades are not allowed to go out during the school period. Even for the students above the third grade, if they want to go to Hogsmeade on weekends, they need the signature of their guardians.

Therefore, Jemini's behavior can be said to be very rampant...

Two figures, one tall and one short, staggered past, and neither Jamie nor Snape greeted each other.

It's okay for Snape to turn a blind eye to him, if he came forward to say hello, it would be too arrogant, basically no different from provocation...

In fact, it wasn't just Snape. Jamie accidentally met Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout just now. Professor Flitwick looked up at the sky on the spot: "Today's snow is so beautiful——"

Professor Sprout raised his head cheerfully: "Yes, yes..."

Then the two just walked past Jemini...

After staying in Hogwarts for a long time, you will find that it is a very warm place.

For example, Professor Flitwick always likes to buy candy for the students, and every time he gives Jamie a few dollars more, so Jamie never told him that he doesn't really like candy.

For example, the new dishes released in the Hogwarts kitchen are almost all researched by Professor Sprout. She also invited Jemini to her tea party on weekends several times. I heard that most of the guests are girls. There are many delicious...

The professors' tolerance towards Jamie was not without reason, because in the morning, they saw Jemini applying to Professor McGonagall to come to Hogsmeade to buy some Christmas presents.

Then he was rejected by Professor McGonagall righteously. Finally, Professor McGonagall warned Jamie again and again, saying that she is very busy recently, and she has to correct her homework in the office all day today, and Jamie is not allowed to run around. If he didn't meet Jamie, he'd be the one to feel better.

But in fact, Professor McGonagall, who was supposed to be grading homework in the office, was sitting in a box on the second floor of the Three Brooms bar, drinking afternoon tea leisurely.

She had already seen Jemini outside through the window...

As the vice-principal of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall has always been a very serious person, because in her capacity, she must treat all students equally. If she agrees to let Jemini come out, it means that she will not It's not good for her management to refuse the requests of other students.

But if it was Jemini who sneaked away by himself, it would be fine. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the safety of the child. She noticed it when she checked the corpses of the troll and the three-headed dog before, and Jemini kicked him to death. The head of the troll!The skull of the troll's corpse still has the print of Jamie's heel shoe on it...

"How do you sell the speculum?"

Inside the Davis & Bains store, Jemini inspects the beautifully packaged looking glasses on the shelves.

This is a shop specializing in the sale of magic equipment. You can buy all kinds of magic equipment here, such as celestial models, defense against the dark arts equipment, and even Quidditch maintenance supplies.

"12 Galleons." The bearded boss said in a rough voice, "If it's a Christmas present, I can pack it for you and post it for free."

Although the looking glass in the weapon store only sells for 10 galleons, Jemini still didn’t buy it from the weapon store. It’s better to buy something like a gift from the store, which has a more sense of ceremony. Anyway, he’s not bad at all. two dollars.

Jemini paid for the looking glass.

"Which child are you sending it to?"

"Hogwarts, Severus Snape."

"Did you buy it for your dean?" The bearded boss glanced at Jemini's green scarf: "Although it's a bit talkative to say so, he won't look good even if you give him a gift."

"Ha...you're right." Jemini spread his hands helplessly.

It didn't matter what Snape's attitude to him was or anything, but he had to show his gratitude for the long time he'd been treated.

He casually took a copper crucible from the side shelf and handed it to the bearded boss: "Let's add another crucible."

"Thanks to your patronage, fifteen Galleons and five Sickles in total." The bearded store manager smiled, "Anything else? The famous Mr. Fox?"

"Wand maintenance kit, if you want the latest model, can you give me two more bottles of maintenance liquid?"

"Ah! Of course you can have children!" The bearded store manager took down an exquisite gift box from the shelf beside him, and took out two bottles of maintenance liquid and put them in.

The so-called maintenance liquid is actually a lubricating oil-like substance made from pine oil, which can polish the wand. For those dueling masters, the wand maintenance gift box is their favorite thing.

"This is also a Christmas present, please help me deliver it to Professor Flitwick."

"As you wish." The bearded store manager's smile became brighter and brighter: "Do you want to give each of the four deans a Christmas present?"

"Yeah." Jemini nodded: "The deans take good care of me."

"It's only natural for a teacher to take care of students. You've already spent a lot of money." The bearded store manager suggested, "Maybe you can buy something cheaper. Generally, no students come to my place to buy things..."

Jemini shook his head: "I don't take other people's kindness for granted. I have nothing to do with them, so no matter what the purpose is, it's their duty to take care of me, and it's their duty not to take care of me. They don't have to take it seriously. But I can't, because I am the one who is taken care of, this is the principle of my life."

"Ha!" The bearded boss laughed: "The principle of being a human being! That's right! I knew that bitch Rita Skeeter had no good intentions every day. You are not the same as what the newspapers said. I appreciate you."

"Can you give me a [-]% discount?"

"But the newspapers certainly won't be groundless."

Jamie: "..."

What about sincerity between people?
　Asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a reward, asking for a recommendation, asking for a collection, everyone!
