a certain scientific harry potter

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Seeing Luna's surprised expression at this moment, Harry knew that his gift was probably a success.

When he started making this pipe, he had been imagining what Luna's expression would be when he saw it. Now it seems that the feedback is pretty good.

"It's better than the previous crown." Luna tried to sip on the filter, and seemed to like the current way.

This is not to say that Ravenclaw's diadem is not good-looking. In fact, as a master alchemist with ingenuity, Rowena's diadem is definitely much more delicate than Harry's pipe.

But the problem is that the majestic Rowena has a slightly wider forehead, and she is an adult. The tiara that perfectly matches her head shape is indeed uncomfortable for a girl with a small frame like Luna.

"In addition to the jewels in the crown, I also added some other things." Harry introduced with a smile, "You can play it and try."

"Blow?" Luna tentatively puffed her cheeks into the shape of a little bun, and lightly blew on the filter of the pipe, but suddenly a cloud of magical white mist came out from the bowl.

There were shadows in the fog, as if something hadn't appeared.

"I blended the powder made from a crystal ball into it, and at the same time refined it with water elements. You can also use it to assist you when you need prophecy." Seeing this, Harry continued to introduce, with a faintly smug tone.

Harry was still very satisfied with being able to transform the crown into this shape, which meant that his alchemy level had indeed improved during this period.

"Did I have an illusion? Why do I suddenly feel that Luna seems to be holding this thing well?"

Looking at Luna surrounded by mist, Hermione twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, always feeling that her aesthetics seemed to be going astray.

It should be a girl holding a super-violent pipe, but a pair of butterbeer plugs and carrot earrings on Biluna's body turned it into the most normal one.

"Detective agency, pipe... Isn't that Sherlock Holmes?" At this time, Colin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Luna is the one among us who can locate the suspect the fastest, so if she is Sherlock Holmes, of course she should be equipped with a pipe Already!"

"It's not bad to say that, but Holmes should also have a hat." Will also added on the side.

"Then I'll give her a top hat next time!" Tonks, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, immediately started clamoring, "I think a top hat is pretty good~"

"It should be a dress hat." Astoria looked at it carefully and put forward different opinions.

"Never mind her," Tonks waved his hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, if you see something suitable, just give it to her. Anyway, Luna is a girl with a very good foundation, she will be very cute if she dresses up~"

At this moment, her eyes shone with inexplicable excitement, apparently turning Luna's brain into a doll for dressing up.

"Hats and things, I have them myself." Luna flatly refused, "Eagle and lion are both acceptable, and I'm going to ask Dad to order another badger and a snake..."

"Uh..." *N

Thinking of Luna's weird hats, everyone present couldn't help but look embarrassed at the same time.

Luna wearing an eagle or lion hat and smoking a pipe?

It feels weird again.

"Anyway... thank you! I really like this gift very much!"

Suddenly, Luna looked at Harry, showing a very bright smile.

"As long as you like it," Harry nodded with a smile, "Since we have already received the gift, let's eat quickly."

"Yes!" *N

A unanimous response, followed by a hearty meal accompanied by laughter... and the last remaining mess.

The birthday party lasted until it was getting dark. Harry sent everyone away very considerately, even Luna who wanted to help was declined by her, saying that it would be fine as long as she and Hermione cleaned up together.

"You can go back at ease, I will follow him and clean up."

And Hermione, who had known what this guy was up to for a long time, gave someone a big roll of her eyes reluctantly.

Obviously, it can be easily done by releasing a few magic spells, but she said that two people need to clean it up. Looking at the crowd, of course, the teasing eyes of Tonks before leaving, Hermione can't wait to kick Harry hard now. a few feet.

However, although Miss Granger said she was unwilling, she chose to stay with her body honestly.

"You bastard... I knew you must have no good intentions!"

"It can't be helped." Harry shrugged his shoulders with a playful smile, "Who makes Valentine's Day so bad, but it's Monday's turn."

"Do you still remember this?" Hermione stomped on Harry angrily, "Haven't you been busy celebrating the crazy girl's birthday? Not only did you have a banquet, but you also... prepared something like that gifts, and even tore Ravenclaw's diadem!"

"Hey... Hermione, are you jealous because I gave Luna a gift?" Seeing Hermione's appearance, Harry couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I don't have it!" Hermione screamed unconsciously, like a kitten whose tail has been stepped on, "I am, I... what is this?"

Just as she was about to defend herself in a panic, she found out that Harry had taken out another beautifully wrapped box from his pocket. She was completely stunned, and couldn't say anything for a while.

"Here, I thought about giving it to you tonight, but seeing that you wanted it so much, I had to take it out in advance." Harry stuffed the gift box into Hermione's hand, "Valentine's Day and the first anniversary gift, open it look~"

"Um…"

Hermione nodded obediently, and when she opened the package, she couldn't help covering her mouth in surprise.

It was a beautiful quill, each of the slender white feathers was combed fluffy and soft, like a floating white cloud; the silver nib had just the right smooth arc, even in the center of the quill, Inlaid with a faint gold thread.

And quietly lying next to the quill, there is also a bottle of ink that is also beautifully packaged.

"Do you like it? This is specially made with the feathers of the rune horse and the eggshell of a bird and snake." Harry said with a smile, "It also comes with the magic of automatic ink storage and automatic writing, and the ink is specially ordered eternal ink No way, who made our Miss Granger like doing homework so much, of course I will do my best to satisfy her bad taste."

"Damn it, it's not bad fun!" Hermione blushed and slapped Harry, but held the gift tightly in her arms.

"Thank you, I like it very much. But...I, I forgot to prepare for you..."

She lowered her head and muttered softly, her complexion gradually turned crimson in the night, and while she was delighted, a trace of apology rose in her heart.

The reason why she seemed to mind Harry preparing a gift for Luna earlier was not only because of jealousy, but also a bit of self-blame, and she couldn't help but mean "the villain will sue first".

Because she really ignored this matter, so that she didn't even think about preparing any present for Harry.

"You don't need to prepare anything, isn't my gift right in front of you?" Harry smiled and looked at Hermione, reaching out to caress her cheek, "Miss Granger, as long as you stand here, you'll be better than me." All gifts are expensive."

"Harry..." Hermione blushed even more when she heard that.

She called Harry's name in a low voice, and slowly moved her face closer to each other. Under the night that was about to envelop, the figures of the two gradually began to intertwine...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Valentine's Day in 1994, Harry's life briefly returned to calm.

Of course, it is impossible to keep calm all the time. After all, the situation is complicated now, and he can't count on others for many things, so he can only do it by himself in the end.

For example, ten days later it will be the night of the next full moon, and he will even hope that he can master the clone technique...

In addition, in these few days, Harry has been waiting for someone to come to him.

But he didn't wait for it in the end. Instead, he waited for the twins of the Weasley family.

"Hey, Harry, Mr. Hengis has replied."

"He really hopes to sell that piece of land as soon as possible, but the price you offered was too low. He wants to ask if it can be increased to [-]."

Fred and George brought pretty good news, only five thousand Galleons more, which was much lower than what Harry expected in his heart.

"Then it's settled." Harry also gave the Weasley brothers an affirmative answer, "Please help me reply to Mr. Hengis, and ask him to come to the school to sign the contract."

The price of [-] Galleons, Harry is not going to pay it back anymore, because the old Hengis is not a businessman at first glance, and the price he gave is definitely the lowest price he expected. He is a mushroom, he probably thinks Harry is dishonest, and then gives up the deal in a fit of anger.

"Don't worry!"

"We'll make an appointment for you~"

Fred and George fully agreed, but before leaving, the two brothers suddenly showed hesitant expressions.

"Harry, have you heard the recent gossip in school?" Finally, Fred asked cautiously.

"Yeah, I heard." Harry nodded.

"Then, about Ginny..."

"George, I remember I told you two brothers." Harry lightly interrupted George, who was about to say something, "You did this by yourself, and you must bear the consequences. I never I made it clear from the beginning... I will not come forward to make any clarifications!"

"Well... well, let's write to Mr. Hengis first."

Seeing that Harry was determined not to show up, the two brothers had no choice but to leave embarrassingly.

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, Harry didn't say anything.

Just as he had expected before, the follow-up turmoil of the Firebolt incident finally began to intensify. Recently, Ginny Weasley and even the entire Gryffindor have faced considerable pressure from public opinion in the school.

But even if Harry was involved in this matter, he didn't want to come forward to help calm it down. After all, he didn't do this matter, so why should he come forward to wipe his ass?

Everyone is responsible for their actions, and Harry himself has come that way.

When he chose to embark on the current path, he was already prepared to bear everything.

For example, Dumbledore and many other people gradually began to distrust him, began to suspect him, and even thought he was a vicious guy, Harry didn't care about it at all.

You have your righteousness, and I also have people I want to protect.

So... sometimes the enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, because there is another kind of relationship called like-minded opponents!

"Well...forget it, since it's time to negotiate a contract, I'll take the initiative to find him."

After the Weasley brothers left, Harry let out a sigh of emotion and started to walk towards the entrance of the principal's office on the third floor.

He actually had a lot of things to communicate with Lao Deng recently, and he thought that the other party would take the initiative to find him through the Ravenclaw matter, but he didn't expect that Lao Deng had been keeping silent, so Harry could only take the initiative.

"Please tell me, I want to see Mr. Principal." At the gate of the gargoyle on the third floor, Harry politely asked the ugly monster.

If it was changed to the past, it would not be necessary for him to come to see Dumbledore so formally. Either fly in from the window on the eighth floor, or ask Professor McGonagall for the password, which can be said to be quite free.

But...that was in the past after all.

Today, the relationship between Harry and Dumbledore is getting more and more distant, and their meeting is more and more like an official meeting and negotiation, rather than a heart-to-heart chat between juniors and elders.

"Please come in." After a while, the gargoyle seemed to get a reply, and opened the door for Harry.

Going all the way up the spiral staircase inside the door, Harry finally came to the eighth floor.

Dumbledore's office was still the same, with the paintings of past principals hanging on the wall and chatting in whispers, while Fox was taking a leisurely nap on the perch.

As for Dumbledore himself, at this moment, he was sitting at the desk with his chin propped on his hands, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Harry, you're here." Seeing Harry's arrival, Dumbledore smiled and waved a chair in front of Harry.

"Please sit down."

"Thank you." Harry nodded slightly, sitting opposite Dumbledore.

"I don't know if it's an illusion. Although this school year is only half over, I feel like we haven't met like this for a long time." Looking at Harry in front of him, Dumbledore seemed to be a little emotional, "Time flies so fast, Isn't it?"

"Yeah, there's another one and a half months until the Easter holiday, followed by the semester exams, and then the school year is over." Harry replied softly.

"Well, it's been another year..." Dumbledore looked deeply at the child in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling that things were right and wrong.

In just three short years, the young man in front of him already has such a city, and a power that even he dare not underestimate.

But... the path he chooses now always makes him feel inappropriate.

"Harry, what's the matter with you coming to see me this time?" Shaking his head slightly, Dumbledore calmed down the confusion in his heart, and looked at Harry calmly and asked.

"I want to get some sponsorship from you, Mr. Principal." Harry smiled and explained his purpose, "I had a deal in Hogsmeade before, and I bought the Screaming Shack and its surroundings for [-] Galleons. Land, you should know about this, right?"

"Well, I only found out about it recently." Dumbledore nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that you would negotiate such a big business. I heard that you plan to use that land to build a nursing home, which is really great Thoughts. I am also very happy for Nicole to have a student like you take care of him in his later years."

Dumbledore had no intention of hiding it from Harry. He knew that since Harry would mention this matter to him, it meant that the other party had already confirmed his private relationship with Aberforth and knew about their relationship. If there is no exchange of news between them, it is better to admit it openly.

"That nursing home is not only for the teacher and Scamander to live in, but the teachers who have retired from Hogwarts also enjoy the priority of residence." Seeing that Dumbledore took the initiative to mention the nursing home, Harry just followed the trend made its own request.

"That's why I hope the school can give me some support."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Oh, so what kind of support do you need?"

After learning of Harry's intentions, Dumbledore did not immediately agree, but asked about the specific details of the sponsorship.

"To put it simply, it's financial and human resources," Harry explained in detail. "I've already paid the [-] Galleons for the land purchase in the early stage, but I hope the school can help share the expenses when we find someone to design and build the house later. part."

"At the same time, I hope that Hogwarts can assign me a group of house elves, and let them become caregivers who take care of the daily life of the elderly."

"Of course, in return, the nursing home will exempt the retired Hogwarts teachers from basic living expenses; at the same time, students can also use their spare time to go there regularly as volunteers."
