No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion
Chapter 801: School Necessities
"Well, don't get excited. My mom died earlier than your mom, so she was never your godmother." Ou Mengmeng patted Harry, who was showing great affection, and handed him the flyer. "We accept mail orders, so you can keep it. If you want it, just send an owl."
"Oh, okay." Harry took it stupidly, feeling a little hurt and a little timid.
"What else have you not bought?" Hagrid asked hurriedly when he saw that "Penny" did not stop him and became happy again. He had brought enough money with him, and he had also planned to buy some gifts for Petunia.
"I didn't buy anything. My grandfather and I could make some money these days since the streets are busy." Ou Mengmeng said quickly.
"Mr. Foster!" Hagrid looked at old Foster in the store in a reproachful manner.
"There are textbooks at home, I can make a wand, Professor McGonagall gave me a pet, and Professor Snape said he would prepare a cauldron and potions for her, so she shouldn't buy any." Old Foster didn't think there was anything else he needed to buy. Now that he thought about it, he felt that his granddaughter was indeed well-liked. Look at her popularity. He was suddenly extremely proud.
"Let's go. Harry hasn't made his school uniform yet. You two can go together. I'll give you the uniform." Hagrid was a very naive man. He lowered his head and said to Ou Mengmeng in a flattering manner.
"Okay." Ou Mengmeng nodded quickly. Custom-made clothes were indeed very expensive, so it was just right to let Hagrid pay for it.
"You have textbooks?" Harry couldn't help but feel fond of this little girl of the same age and hurriedly tried to find something to say.
"My grandfather, my father, and my mother all graduated from Hogwarts, and their textbooks are all here. I have to say, Hogwarts is a bit unambitious. Except for the History of Magic textbooks over the years, the textbooks have not changed." Ou Mengmeng had a look of disgust on her face, and after thinking about it, she said to Harry, "Did you buy textbooks? I'll give you a set. And don't buy pets, who can you send letters to? Professor McGonagall gave me an owl so that I can contact my grandfather, but we are moving, so the usage rate will not be very high. It's a waste of money if you buy it. Let Uncle Hagrid make clothes for us. You can't save money on clothes."
"Thank you!" Harry hadn't seen his inheritance yet. After hearing what Ou Mengmeng said, he nodded quickly. Now he felt a little closer to her. However, he was a little embarrassed and at a loss for what to do when Hagrid gave him clothes. "Um..."
"It's okay, right, Uncle Hagrid?" Ou Mengmeng looked up at Hagrid. You know, the snow-white owl that Hagrid bought was very expensive, much more expensive than making clothes for them, but the price was not marked in the book, so it was not a big deal. You know, only the wizarding world raises owls now, and they are protected animals in other places. Protecting animals, isn't it more expensive than those robes?
"Yes, it's okay. I'll give you both the clothes and the pets. One is a birthday present and the other is a school admission present. It's little Petunia's birthday this year, and Uncle Hagrid hasn't come to celebrate for you yet!" Hagrid nodded quickly and turned to Harry, "I haven't given you a present in eleven years. Consider this as compensation."
Ou Mengmeng nodded. She grew up around Hagrid and the Order of the Phoenix, so except for Lupin and Red Weasley who were really poor, the others lived OK. But old Foster still forbade them to prepare expensive gifts, just letting her grow up among a bunch of people who loved her, so that she could live a more arbitrary life.
Lupin was not as poor as before. He was now in Hogsmore Village, making toys in the Fosters' workshop. When the moon was full, he would hide in the Shrieking Shed.
This was Ou Mengmeng's suggestion. Anyway, they were doing piecework, and the problem would not affect his toy making. Old Foster would pay him on time every month, and no matter how much he worked, it was his own. And in Hogsmore Village, with Dumbledore's care, Lupin had lived a relatively stable life over the years and even bought a small house. "I don't need it, buy her a new one!" Of course, this also made Harry successfully empathize with him, an orphan like himself, so life was a bit difficult.
"Okay, it's not about money." Ou Mengmeng thought it was okay. This kid is actually a good person. Apart from being a little silly and impulsive, his values are actually positive. She turned around and yelled to her grandfather, "Grandpa, let's go make clothes."
"Go ahead!" Old Foster nodded, not taking it seriously. There were already helpers in the store, but Ou Mengmeng liked the hustle and bustle, so he let her do it. "Hagrid, will you come to eat later?"
"No, I have to hurry back to Hogwarts." Hagrid shook his head. Now he suddenly thought that returning to Hogwarts would be miserable, and he felt a little heavy. Of course, he also thought that he had been out for a long time. He still had to help Dumbledore.
Madam Malkin's robe shop was right next to their toy store. Seeing Ou Mengmeng and Harry coming in together, Madam Malkin smiled at Ou Mengmeng and said, "My dear, your school uniform is ready. I'm just about to send it to you."
Ou Mengmeng grew up on this street. There were no women in the Foster family, so Ou Mengmeng grew up eating at many houses. Mrs. Malkin, who lived next door, had a short marriage, but unfortunately, she had no children. After her husband died, she devoted herself to running the clothing store, and loved little Ou Mengmeng as if she were her own child.
"Aunt Lizzie, this time Hagrid is going to give me the full set as my school admission gift, and of course it's also my birthday gift." Ou Mengmeng rushed over, hugged Madam Malkin and kissed her, then said happily. She has worn it three times, and now she is enjoying the joy of growing up again.
Of course when talking about birthday presents, she couldn't help but look back at Hagrid. She remembered that in the book, Hagrid sent Harry a cake that he baked himself. Whether it tasted good or not was another matter, but this kind of partiality must be punished.
Hagrid saw her glare and stopped again, trying to think what had happened.
"Why does Hagrid have to send it?" Madam Malkin was unhappy, but she turned around and shouted, "You forgot Petunia's birthday again!"
"No, I...I..." Hagrid really didn't forget, but he was really busy during the summer vacation. He was sent out by Dumbledore several times and really didn't have time to come back to celebrate Ou Mengmeng's birthday. He was really sweating. And he didn't forget before, he was just a little confused, and sometimes the gifts he gave were a little ridiculous.
"Professor Dumbledore asked him to bring Harry here to buy things for the school year." Ou Mengmeng introduced Harry by the way, but did not say Harry's last name.
"This is Harry, and here's the money. I'll buy them some ice cream." Hagrid took out a huge purse, grabbed a handful of gold galleons, put them on the table, and ran away. Hagrid was really a little afraid of Madam Malkin. (End of this chapter)
