[HP] Ravenclaw Girls' Hard Days

I was very excited to go. The row of portraits of Casey couldn’t see the scene. Many people had already squeezed into the frame opposite. The frame beside Potter was full of people. Casey even saw other people Local portraits also ran over to join in the fun, and cheers were everywhere in the corridor.

"Haha, Potter, it's over for you, and something like this happened!" Malfoy didn't forget to gloat at this time, and he took Crabbe to the stairs as he said, "I hope your Gryffindor house will be separated. I was deducted as a negative number by you!"

"Malfoy, don't leave if you can!" Potter called after him, and then he turned to look at Casey, who also looked at him.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and at the same time turned their heads and called to the corridor on the other side: "Professor McGonagall! It's not good! The portraits are fighting!"

Professor McGonagall walked over at a faster pace from the other side, looked up at the portrait, sighed, and said to himself: "Oh... I told Dumbledore a long time ago that the two of them cannot be put together ..."

She turned to look at Casey and Potter: "Okay, your labor service today is over, come back at four o'clock tomorrow."

Casey and Porter looked at each other, and when they were about to leave, they were stopped by Professor McGonagall: "Wait a minute, pack up your things and put them in the compartment on the second floor."

Casey and Porter picked up the bucket, carried the folding ladder, and walked side by side towards the stairs. After walking a few steps, they heard Professor McGonagall say to the portraits watching: "Okay, let's all go back to our own portraits." , or I'll change seats for you too."

After all, Kathy is only in the first grade. Although the folding ladder is not heavy, it is still high enough to carry it on flat ground. It is not so good when going down the stairs. The legs of the ladder always hit the stairs.

She stumbled up a few flights of stairs and almost tripped over herself, but Potter helped the ladder from behind to keep her from rolling down the stairs.

Casey turned her head to look at Potter and said kindly, "Thank you."

"You're too short." Potter sneered mercilessly, "and are you a Muggle? Why don't you use spells?"

Kathy took a deep breath, put the ladder on the stairs, drew out her wand, pursed her lips and showed a sweet smile to Potter: "Thank you for reminding me, I forgot about it!"

She cast a Levitation Charm on the ladder, directing the ladder to slowly float into the air, then made a big circle in the air, and flew past Potter's head. Potter waited for it to fly past before subconsciously squatting down to dodge. He cried out, "Field!"

"I'm so sorry!" Casey controlled the ladder to slowly fall from the stairwell to the ground on the second floor, and said sincerely, "Potter, you are really too tall, I almost lost control of this ladder, Sorry to scare you."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and blinked innocently at Potter, pretending that she really didn't mean it.

The author has something to say: Potter: Bah, I believe you!

After the labor service this time, Kathy's life has returned to calm. She attends classes every day and goes to the Response Room every week to share the latest progress with everyone—that is, there is no progress.

This electrification project is much more difficult than everyone imagined. People from various colleges have written letters to their families asking about the secret passage, but they did not ask about the secret passage leading to the outside world.

But mom and dad really know a lot of secret ways, and the sharing meeting for several weeks has become everyone's secret way sharing meeting. Kathy knows a lot of secret ways that even the senior Gryffindors haven't discovered.

At least she knew how to take a shortcut from the auditorium back to the Ravenclaw Tower, which saved more than half of the journey, which was really useful!

The parents couldn't find out here, and Hermione's castle history research was the same. She found several hidden secret passages in the book, but unfortunately, none of them could lead to the outside of the castle.

In short, until the Christmas break, there was no progress on their project.

... No, you can't say that either.

There is still some progress in Ravenclaw, although not progress on the electrification project.

After Amy's continuous publicity and generous sharing in the common room, more and more Ravenclaws have been thrown into the big pit of Muggle physics. In the common room, people are discussing topics every day, from mechanics to electricity.

Before the Christmas holiday, many senior students had already started to try to do Muggle test papers, and some people sent some physics experiment equipment from home.

Kathy remembered those poor owl deliveries being stuck out of the transom several times.

Even Casey himself, under the influence of the strong learning atmosphere of Ravenclaw, slowly remembered how to draw force diagrams, how to see the height difference of the liquid surface in the U-shaped tube, and how to distinguish the direction of the current ...

Come to think of it, she knew a lot!

The Hogwarts Christmas holiday lasts three weeks, starting on the Monday before Christmas, but the Hogwarts Express leaves for London the Friday before.

The train slowly drove into the platform, and the clanging sound that could be heard along the way finally became quieter.

Kathy and Eve took off their school uniforms a long time ago, changed into the clothes they brought from home, and lay side by side by the window, looking at the parents waiting on the platform.

Casey had never seen so many adult wizards, and looked at them curiously.

It's just that these wizards are different from what Casey imagined. They are basically wearing Muggle clothes, and they look completely the same as the ordinary people Casey sees every day.

She exclaimed in amazement: "It turns out that wizards don't all wear wizard robes!"

"Of course!" Eve knew that Kathy lacked the common sense of wizards, but she was still a little surprised by her lack of common sense. She looked at Kathy in surprise, "What era is this? Wizards have to go shopping. Of course they wear clothes every day." Ordinary clothes."

"Then why do Hogwarts wear wizard robes?" Casey asked without understanding, "Even the professors wear wizard robes all day long."

Eve sighed, and said helplessly, "This is a tradition, Casey, to pay tribute to the ancient wizards."

Kathy: "Hmmm..."

Eve took a breath and continued, "Didn't you notice that most wizard robes are very ancient in design? Usually, such costumes only appear at Hogwarts and various wizard banquets, and few people usually wear them. "

"But someone in our common room has ordered "Wizard Fashion"?" Casey was very impressed with that periodical, and the models on the cover were particularly noisy, "That book is full of improved wizard robes, I thought it was from the wizarding world cutting-edge fashion."

"Oh..." Eve frowned when she thought of that book, "The models in that magazine are more famous than the clothes, and they are very niche."

At this time, the train shook slightly and came to a complete stop. Casey heard the sound of the doors opening on both sides of the car, and the outside of the carriage quickly became lively.

Kathy also found her parents on the platform. She waved to them, opened the compartment door with Eve with her luggage, and squeezed out of the car with her classmates.

Mom came up and gave Casey a big hug, and called out in a melodious manner: "Oh, my Casey!"

Dad took the box from her and asked her gently: "Are you still used to it at Hogwarts?"

Casey nodded, and said honestly and obediently: "Except that I don't know the way, I'm quite used to it."

Mom laughed twice, and took Casey's shoulders: "It doesn't matter if you don't know the way, it's fine if you get lost a lot."

"Yeah." Casey nodded, "I also think we'll get to know each other after walking a lot."

"No." Mom smiled softly, and patted Casey's head with her hand, "I mean you get used to it if you get lost a lot."

Casey: ...

She shook her head and escaped from under her mother's hands, raising her hand to tidy her messy hair.

There is only one exit from Platform [-] and Three Quarters, which is the wall leading to King's Station. Everyone waited in line to hit the wall in a civilized manner while chatting happily.

Hogwarts is the only wizarding school in the UK. All wizards in the UK are alumni, and everyone is about the same age. They are all acquaintances, and they can talk about everything.

Kathy had just chatted with a Slytherin who was familiar but didn't know his name, when she heard someone call her mother's name: "Caroline! I really can't believe it's you!"

"Lily!" Mom turned around and yelled in surprise, and hugged the red-haired girl who came over, then put her hands on her chest, and sighed artificially, "O-Merlin! I really can't believe myself Eyes! What makes you so beautiful?"

The red-haired girl rolled her eyes at her without affectation, and patted her on the shoulder: "Caroline, that's enough."

The mother laughed heartily, and then greeted the big and small Potter who came over brightly - Potter and his father looked exactly the same, even the style of glasses was the same, Kathy suspected that this was On purpose, so that everyone knows they are father and son.

Dad seemed to be very familiar with them, he greeted Big Potter familiarly, and then introduced the two of them.

Potter greeted Da Field politely, his eyes stayed on Casey's obedient smile for a few seconds, and he deliberately called out: "Casey."

Kathy choked up a bit. She had only been nearly tripped by Potter's broomstick yesterday, and returned a mischievous spell that left him trembling in the air for a few minutes. She was by no means good enough to call her by name.

But she glanced at the parents who were chatting happily, and squeezed out a sweet smile towards Potter: "Harry."

The parents who reunited after a long absence were a little excited, and they didn't notice the undercurrent among the children at all. They chatted all the way from platform [-] and three quarters to the outside of King's Station, leaving the children behind.

Casey and Potter consciously followed behind the adults, all the way silent.

When they were about to say goodbye, Lily, who had been chatting with her mother all the way, suddenly turned to Potter and said, "Harry, can we invite Kathy's family to Christmas this year?"

Potter quickly exchanged glances with Kathy, both of them seemed to want to object, but at this moment, Caroline also turned her head and looked at Kathy: "Kathy, okay? Let's go to Lily's house this year ?”

Cathy thought that they thought they were squibs and hadn't spent Christmas with wizards for many years, so she couldn't help feeling soft: "Of course, Mom, Harry and I are also good friends."

Now everyone turned their heads to look at Potter, and Potter said with a toothache, "Of course."

※,fireplace

Dad drove here today, in a very Muggle and traditional way, no different from when Kathy hadn't gone to Hogwarts.

He put Casey's suitcase in the trunk, and Casey sat in the back of the car self-consciously, and asked the parents in the front seat: "I thought we were going to get home in a more wizarding way."

"Of course not." Mom looked at Casey in the rearview mirror, "We're not in a hurry, so we don't need to force ourselves."

Dad started the car and nodded approvingly: "Yes, I must admit, many wizarding things are convenient, but not that comfortable."

"For example, the door key." Mom tilted her head slightly, glanced at Dad, and Dad quickly picked it up: "There are also broomsticks."

Kathy nodded sympathetically. Her worst subject was broomsticks.

Mom didn't think so at all, and she turned sideways from the passenger seat rather disapprovingly, and glanced at Kathy and Dad: "I can't believe it! You don't even get the fun of broomsticks! It's such a shame. "

"Honey, don't get excited," Dad yelled, laughing, drawn out, "I'm driving—"

Mom sighed heavily and sat down again.

Kathy and Dad's eyes met in the rearview mirror, and they shrugged resignedly.

Kathy got up early every day at Hogwarts, her biological clock was set, even if she was at home on holiday, she woke up early in the morning.

But Mom and Dad didn't get up so early, after all, they stayed up late last night-Casey went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and heard them playing games downstairs.

Kathy lightly got herself something to eat, and then went back to the house to do her homework.

After eleven o'clock, after Kathy finished two homework on charms, my mother finally got up.

The former Gryffindor quickly resolved the personal hygiene problem, stood at the door of Kathy's room and said, "Let's go! Let's go to Hogsmeade Village to buy Christmas presents."

Casey was halfway through her metamorphosis homework, and she didn't want to put it down: "Wait until I finish writing!"

After Kathy changed her clothes and went downstairs, her mother had already put on her makeup. Looking at the large decorative fireplace in the living room, Kathy asked strangely, "Mom, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Mom opened the glass door of the fireplace, cleaned it, then clapped her hands, bent down and took out a box from under the TV cabinet, and she shook it at Kathy. This, let you experience the traditional way of transportation of wizards."

Kathy remembered the box, she had seen it as a child and occasionally saw it placed on the fireplace.

Mom opened the box, and the box was mostly empty, with some glistening powder at the bottom, and it looked like there wasn't much left.

"This is Floo powder." Mom introduced it to Casey, then looked down at the box, "Oh, it's almost used up, remember to remind me to buy some more later."

Mom put the box on the coffee table, reached out to grab a handful, and said to Casey: "Look at what I do, you can't go wrong at all."

She bent down and walked into the clean fireplace, took a deep breath, then sprinkled the powder in her hand, closed her eyes and said loudly, "Hogsmeade."

The empty fireplace suddenly ignited a green flame, engulfing her mother in an instant. Kathy subconsciously took a few steps forward. The disappearance of the flame was as abrupt as its appearance, but it burned for a few seconds. completely gone.

Even after learning magic at Hogwarts, Kathy couldn't help but say it loudly!

Magic is really amazing!

Cathy grabbed a handful of Floo powder just like her mother did just now, bent down and stood in the fireplace at half a person's height, and called out while sprinkled the powder: "Hogsmeade Village!"

For a moment, Kathy felt like she was floating. The living room in front of her disappeared, replaced by a series of fireplace doors that flashed by quickly, and she could vaguely see someone shaking outside the door, shaking her head dizzily.

It all happened so quickly, and within seconds, she felt her feet touch the ground again.

Because she was unprepared, Kathy didn't push her legs hard, she sat on the ground at once, and the dust raised up covered her head and face. Kathy was coughing and crying, groping for the fireplace wall and trying to get up.

"Kathy!" Mom took Kathy by the arm, pulled her out of the fireplace, and cast another Cleansing Charm on her.

Casey sneezed several times in a row, the physical tears flushed out the dust in the eyes, and finally felt much more comfortable.

She just looked around.

This is a very small room. The main facilities of the entire room are benches and a fireplace. There are no windows. It looks like a station for people to use the fireplace.

Mom led Casey outside, and Casey couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as she went out: "Wow!"

The fireplace station is located at the end of the main road of the village. As long as you walk out the door, you can see the relatively wide main road and the neat, snow-covered pointed houses on both sides. These houses look like the gingerbread that Kathy ate at Christmas. The house is like the reappearance of the fairy tale scene that Casey read when she was a child.

It was a perfect fit for Kathy's imagining of Christmas!

The only thing that didn't fit was that there were too many people here. Even though it was only the first day of Hogwarts' holiday, there were still people coming and going on the main road, and Kathy felt crowded just by looking at it.

Mother showed an eager expression, and rushed into the crowd directly.

Kathy followed closely behind her, reached out and grabbed her sleeve, and asked loudly, "Mom, what do we want to buy?"

"I don't know." Mom looked around at the name of the store, and said confidently, "Of course, you can buy whatever you see for Christmas presents."

Casey: ...

For the first time, she felt so deeply that her mother was worthy of being a Gryffindor, just like her Gryffindor classmates.

Mom walked around for a long time without deciding what to buy, and finally took Kathy into a small restaurant, which was similar to any restaurant on the streets of London except that the candles were suspended in mid-air like the Hogwarts auditorium.

Mom looked in the direction of the back kitchen, and Kathy leaned back in the chair to relax, then turned to see a handsome dark-haired man sitting by the window, looking at them from a glass - to be precise, watching looking at mom.

He was wearing a valuable overcoat, and his hair was slightly long, with two highlights, one strand of gold and one strand of red, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a Gryffindor.

Just as Kathy was about to turn her head to remind her mother, she saw the man put down his glass, walked towards his table, pointed to the empty seat at their table and asked, "Can I sit here?"

This handsome guy has a charming voice too!

Casey looked at him vigilantly, and her mother finally looked away, looking at the person who came, with a surprised expression on her face: "Hey! Sirius, long time no see!"

She stood up and hugged the handsome guy, who then sat on the empty seat at their table.

Mom quickly introduced both parties: "This is Sirius Black, the man of Gryffindor, Sirius, and this is my daughter Kathy."

Mom didn't give the two of them a chance to talk, and after the introduction, she asked Black excitedly: "Your hair was not beaten by Mrs. Black? If I remember correctly, she doesn't like Gryffindor very much."

"You remember correctly." Black shrugged, then raised his eyebrows and showed a very vivid smirk, "But I moved out from home, and now I live next door to James."

Looking at it, Kathy always felt that the tone of this man was somewhat similar to Potter.

Mom clapped her hands, and Blake said braggingly, "I'm Harry's godfather—you've seen Harry, he looks exactly like James, a complete Gryffindor."

The author has something to say: The experience of Floo and the appearance of Hogsmeade refer to Baidu Encyclopedia

Goodnight everybody!

Blake and his mother had a good chat, talking about Potter all the way through the pranks of school days, and then started talking about the games they played recently.

Kathy sat on the edge and ate her own hot dog and lemon ginger tea in small bites. When she was so bored that she wanted to take out her mobile phone to play a single player, her mother finally stopped the conversation: "O... Sirius , I have to go shopping, so I can't talk anymore."

"Okay." Black put down his glass and said with some regret, "It's still so pleasant to chat with you... By the way, you will come to James' house for Christmas, right?"

Mom said with certainty: "Of course! Lily is my best friend!"

Only then did Blake stand up, smiled at his mother, and nodded at Casey: "I'll see you then."

When Blake walked out of the store, the smile on her mother's face hadn't disappeared. She looked at Casey who was lying on the table, and suddenly frowned and rubbed her neck: "Why does my throat hurt a bit."

Casey: ...

"You've been talking non-stop for more than half an hour." Casey said dryly, "Drink your saliva first."

Mom drank the sweet rose tea in the cup in one breath, ate the half-eaten cake in a few mouthfuls, and said to Casey: "I thought of it!"

Kathy looked at her blankly, and Mom said happily, "We'll go to Viking's Home Goods first, then to Honeydukes, then to Magical Jokes, and then..."

Kathy still looked at her mother blankly, seeing her talking so happily, she had to keep nodding along.

After all, Kathy has never been here before, and she doesn’t know any of the shops her mother mentioned. Listening to her mother’s name of each shop at this moment is like listening to an unlearned spell. What an opinion.

Mom happily finished the shopping plan for the afternoon and went to the proprietress to check out.

Kathy followed her mother and watched her take out a card from her bag. The proprietress took a look at her, put her wand against the card, and said, "1 Galleon, 2 Sickles."

The proprietress put away the wand, and her mother also used the wand against the card, and she did not see any spells, and the card emitted a burst of white light. Kathy thought that this should mean that the transaction was completed, because the proprietress waved her hand , No more them, but turned around and cleared the table.

Mom put away the card, looked down to see Casey's curious expression, and handed the card to Casey.

This should be the bank card of the wizarding world. It doesn't look much different from Muggle's. It's a small and thin card. You can't tell the front from the back. Anyway, there is a Gringotts printed on it, and there is no card number.

It still feels rough...

Mom was very familiar with Hogsmeade, and she knew where the store was without looking at the map at all. Kathy suspected that she often visited Hogsmeade frequently, and the familiar conversations between the clerks and her mother also verified Kathy's guess.

She thought that her mother didn't use wizard products much before she received the notice, after all, she had never seen magic items at home.

In this regard, my mother explained: "Silly boy, it's because you don't recognize magic supplies when you see them. I bought that carrot doll you liked very much when you were a child in Diagon Alley."

Casey:? ? ?

She always thought it was a doll with batteries? !

Although the doll's standby time is really long, she always thought it was because mom and dad would change the battery while she wasn't paying attention! ?

Probably her surprised expression amused mom, who smiled for a while and said, "And I use magic items to clean the house every week, do you think me and your dad can clean it by ourselves?"

She glanced around the crowded Viking Home Goods store, then pointed to a sponge on the right-hand shelf and said, "This is it, the disposable sponge."

Casey looked over, and found that there was still a slogan written on the shelf.

[Still worried that the spell is too difficult?Disposable cleaning sponge frees your hands!It only takes one hour, the dust is gone, and there is a special price for a limited time, one for only 2 Sickles! 】

Kathy took a closer look and found that she had indeed seen this kind of sponge in the storage room, but she never suspected that it was actually a magic item!

Mom patted Kathy's head, then got a five galleon permanent cleaning sponge from the adjoining shelf.

When queuing up to check out, Kathy felt that she was squeezed by the people behind, she stood to the side, and then heard a familiar voice: "Hey, sorry, excuse me..."

"Hermione!" Kathy turned her head and yelled. The brown-haired Gryffindor's fluffy hair was even more frizzed at the moment. She turned her head to look at Kathy, greeted her quickly, and then Continue to squeeze forward, "Kathy... I'm sorry to let you-"

Kathy poked her head out of the line and saw Hermione squeezed all the way to the front row, put the things in her hand into the basket on the counter, and said to the clerk, "Okay, that's all right."

"Kathy, is that...?" Mom asked.

"Hermione Granger," Kathy said, "Gryffindor's third year, all O's, always No.1."

Casey still felt a little proud while talking.

Of course, my mother knew the concept of door door O, she exclaimed: "It's so powerful!"

Casey nodded proudly.

Especially the enthusiasm for reading in the library is exactly the same as when Amy was doing physics problems, it is really amazing.

She simply doubted that Hermione would be able to read all the books in the library before graduation.

Hermione was waiting at the door when Kathy left the shop.

Mom didn't want to hinder Kathy's making friends, so she patted her on the shoulder: "I'll go shopping by myself, you go and play, see you at the post office at four o'clock."

Hermione politely offered to show Kathy around.

Although the struggle in the library this semester did not find any useful secret passages, it successfully improved the relationship between Hermione and Kathy, and also allowed her to make many Ravenclaw friends.

...Of course, I also gained a lot of physics knowledge. After all, Amy must talk about physics when she meets everyone.

Hermione brushed her flying hair a little, then turned to Casey and asked, "What do you want to buy? I'll take you there."

"Hmm... I don't know." Casey said awkwardly, "It's my first time here."

"Buy gifts for Gryffindor?" Hermione asked and seeing Kathy nodded, she said decisively, "Come on, let's go to Zuko's Magic Joke Shop, where most of my gifts for Gryffindor are. bought."

Resolutely!

Casey was no longer confused, and followed Hermione with a sense of security in her heart.

At four o'clock, everyone met at the gate of the post office.

With Hermione around, picking out gifts was not a laborious task at all. After visiting only three stores, Kathy bought most of the gifts, and the rest of the gifts she planned to give to Muggles had already been listed in the in her plan.

For example, give Eve a game cassette, and give Amy a set of math books... They must be much happier receiving these gifts than receiving magic tools.

Mom took the bag and took them both into the post office.

Christmas is approaching, and everyone who comes to Hogsmeade comes to buy gifts. After buying gifts, of course, they have to come to the post office to make an appointment for Christmas mailing service. The business of the post office is really good.

Looking at the vast stream of people in the post office, Mom took a deep breath and said to Hermione and Kathy, "Wait for me here."

As she spoke, she took a deep breath and squeezed into the crowd.

Kathy felt that her mother was extremely flexible. With a wrong eye, the person had disappeared, and she was dumbfounded.

Hermione didn't expect her mother to move so fast, she was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Casey anxiously: "I haven't told my aunt how many people I want to send!"

"Mom should be measured." Kathy said uncertainly.

They didn't have to wait long, and their mother quickly emerged from the crowd, holding two cards in her hand, and handed one of them to Hermione: "Here, the appointment form, you give them the mailing information before Christmas." All right, they'll send owls to pick up presents."

Hermione thanked her and took the appointment form. Her mother continued, "I don't know how many people you want to send, so I made an appointment for 100."

Kathy was stunned, and she whispered, "I really want 100, the owls won't be able to deliver them all by morning."

Mom shrugged: "Refund more and make up less."

※, guest

After Kathy bought all the presents and finished all the homework, Christmas came.

On the afternoon of December 12th, Kathy's house began to prepare for the party tonight. Mom put the gift she was going to give to Lily in the living room, and she didn't forget to call to Kathy upstairs: "Kathy, don't forget Your gift to Potter!"

"Got it, Mom!" Kathy replied loudly, pinning the hairpin in front of the full-length mirror in the room, straightening her collar.

Mom's new magic mirror is a subwoofer, but she speaks in a squeaky voice: "It's so beautiful—my little master! It would be even better if you could smile more! Boys will be fascinated by you." Fall!"

Casey rolled her eyes and yelled unbearably, "Shut up—"

She picked up the mirror cover that was wrapped around the chair. It was a gift when she bought the mirror. When she got it, she didn't understand why it was given as a gift when she bought the mirror. Now she understands it very well!

Before it was completely covered by the mirror cover, the mirror took the time to call out: "Smile, little master, remember to smile—"

The thick mirror cover fell down mercilessly, the long tail sound of the mirror stopped abruptly, and the room finally became quiet.

Kathy was relieved, she kind of missed the ordinary mirror without a soul, the magic mirror was so noisy!

She looked around the room, made sure she had brought everything she needed, and then went downstairs with a wrapped gift box on the table.

The living room of their house is now full of piles. In the corner is a fir tree brought back from outside by Dad two days ago. It is about the same height as Dad. It is decorated with many trinkets that Mom bought back from Hogsmeade. This is their Christmas tree this year.

A little farther away from the Christmas tree was a floor full of unsent gifts, piled up too much, and the tea table that was originally placed in front of the sofa had been moved.

Dad was squatting in the living room checking that the presents were all addressed, and the owl from the Wizarding Post Office would come to pick them up later.

Mom squatted next to Dad to watch, and when she looked at it, she remembered that she had forgotten a gift: "That's right! I haven't taken the one for Steve's family yet."

She ran upstairs cheerfully, ran down after a long time in the bedroom, and put a small gift box the size of a palm in her hand into the pile of gifts. Dad picked it out again helplessly: "Address."

"Oh yes." Mom wanted to touch the coffee table with her backhand, but she couldn't find it. She turned her head to look, and didn't even bother to walk a few steps. She pulled out her magic wand from her waist, and used the floating spell to transport the black fountain pen and sticky notes on the coffee table , finished writing the address in a swish, and pasted it on the small gift box.

After Dad finished checking, he opened the corner window so that the owl could come in and out, and then drew out his wand and cast a spell on the window. Kathy heard the word "Muggle" keenly, and looked at Dad curiously.

"The Muggle Repelling Curse." Dad put away his wand and patted Kathy's head, "It's the most effective way to deter thieves."

Mom cleaned the fireplace and looked at Kathy and Dad with a gift in one hand and Floo powder in the other.

To be reasonable, Kathy doesn't like this way of travel very much. When she went back to Hogsmeade Village last time, the fireplace gave her a bad experience. She asked without any hope: "We can go to Hogsmeade in another way." Is it? Like driving?"

"Honey." Mom hugged her, "Godric's Hollow is a small village in the west of England, quite far from London, they may all be gone by the time we get there."

Kathy was a little frustrated: "Well, let's hope their fireplaces are cleaner."

Mom laughed, then handed the box of Floo powder to Dad: "You first?"

Dad nodded, stooped into the fireplace, and called out, "Godric's Hollow, the Potters."

The green flames flared up and disappeared quickly, and Mom turned her eyes to Kathy.

"Okay." Kathy said reluctantly, she hugged the gift, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, got into the fireplace, closed her eyes and called out loudly, "Godric's Hollow, Potter's house. "

Kathy felt herself flying again, this time with her eyes closed, she didn't see the dizzying fireplace doors like last time, and after a few seconds, she felt herself fall to the ground again.

With the experience of last time, she grew up a bit this time, and adjusted her landing posture when she was flying, but when she landed, she realized that her posture was still wrong this time.

But it was too late now, the speed of landing was too fast, and she had no time to adjust.

She sprained her ankle.

Casey tilted her whole body, let out a miserable "ow", and then quickly stretched out her hands to support the wall of the fireplace, so as not to fall down.

Someone outside the fireplace laughed, and then Lily called out disapprovingly, "Harry."

Kathy saw Potter scratch his face and turn his head away.

The atmosphere was momentarily tense.

Casey held the gift in her left hand, propped the fireplace wall with her right hand, took a deep breath, and adjusted with a wrinkled face.
