Chapter 51 Christmas Presents
"In the absence of evidence, it's better not to arbitrarily suspect others. What we should think about now is how to deal with what happens next." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and said while thinking.
Emmeline Vance listened to everyone's speculation silently, and said at this time: "What do you think, Professor Dumbledore, the points that need to be guarded are too loose, and the Ministry of Magic will not have many people at that time."
Dumbledore looked at Gideon Prewett as if he had figured out what to do, and said: "In this way, I will persuade the Longbottoms to spend Christmas with the Potters, and I will also ask Marlene. Ask her what she means, maybe spending Christmas at the Burrow together is also a good choice."
Gideon Prewett smiled and said gently: "I think Molly will welcome them warmly."
"Well, there are only two points to be guarded against. Then we can even ambush around in advance. They'd better show up. If you dare to let me blow the cold wind all night, I won't let them go." Crazy Eye Hammoody said with a smile.
"That's fine, but it's best not to explain the reason for this arrangement in advance. Maybe we have the opportunity to hit the Death Eaters this time, and maybe we can take the opportunity to find the traitor." Edgar Burns also agreed with this. Arranged, nodded.
Dumbledore saw that his arrangement was acceptable to everyone, and nodded and said: "Then it is decided, Moody, Emmeline, please take care of Potter and the Longbottoms, Edgar, Wey I'll take care of you at the Sly's side, and I'll be there at any time in case the Dark Lord himself shows up."
The rest of the people nodded in agreement, and then got up and left.
Dumbledore stayed where he was, as if thinking of the prophecy he heard a few months ago, and muttered, "Tom, can you really do anything to a newborn child? What a terrible abyss he has fallen into."
Not only was Dumbledore certain that the Death Eaters would attack this Christmas, he even guessed who the main target of the attack was, but he still muttered in confusion: "Which one is it? Potter or Longbottom? Snape, I hope you don't let me down when it matters."
On the other side, after Sirius brought Anduin home, he sat heavily on the sofa with his hands under his head, shaking his feet in confusion, probably still worrying about those Death Eaters.
Anduin didn't take this matter to heart. He still had confidence in Dumbledore. Under the circumstance of being on guard, he didn't worry much about what would happen.
"Sirius, I want to go out." Anduin said to Sirius, who was slumped on the sofa.
When Sirius heard this, he still wanted to go out at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Where are you going? At this time, it's too late to be honest. What should I do if I encounter danger when I go out?"
Anduin rolled his eyes, how nervous this guy was, and said, "I have to go buy some Christmas presents, and besides, I'm not a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and don't be too nervous, if the Death Eaters really want to be there If there is an attack on Christmas, it will prove safe until Christmas."
Sirius was still worried and said, "You are still thinking about Christmas as a child. Maybe Dumbledore will let us cancel the banquet directly at that time. Don't make extra troubles."
"Then maybe the Death Eaters know that we are prepared for Christmas, it is possible to cancel the attack directly, and I don't go to the place where wizards gather like Diagon Alley, I go to the Muggle business district, you can rest assured." Anduin persuaded Sirius.
Seeing Anduin's determination, Sirius had no choice but to say, "That's fine, but I have to follow you, don't run around."
In the end, despite Anduin's reluctance, Sirius still followed.
The reason why Anduin planned to go to the Muggle business district to buy gifts was mainly to save money. He had a lot of Muggle currency, but wizard currency was a little less, so he had to use it sparingly.
First of all, Anduin took Sirius to Chinatown in London. He had to buy some Chinese condiments. After all, Hagrid was so good that he almost finished a box of condiments in a few months. In winter, otherwise he would like to buy some vegetable seedlings to grow in Hagrid's vegetable garden. At the same time, he also bought a big copper pot, which is the kind of old BJ's mutton hot pot. Anduin is going to find a chance to get a hot pot. It's a shame to eat hot pot.
Later, he went shopping for gifts in a nearby shopping mall. He also bought a lot of children's storybooks according to Vivian's words. He also bought an exquisite music box. As long as you open it, you can play a beautiful lullaby, and you can press the inside of the lid of the music box. I took the photo, and at the same time I chose a brooch for Professor McGonagall with a male lion carved on it, and bought an exquisite mechanical clock for Professor Flitwick. Dean Slughorn bought a bottle of old whisky, and he knew that Dean liked to enjoy it very much.
As for Hagrid, Anduin found a large copper cup with various monsters engraved on it. It was sold as a handicraft, but if it was given to Hagrid, it is estimated that he would really use it, and Charles and Vivienne, Anduin gave each of them a new set of mahjong tiles, and saved them from borrowing them. According to Vivienne, the mahjong he borrowed was often used by Slytherin and Slytherin. between Gryffindor.
As for Sirius, Anduin bought a gramophone on the spot, and it was unpacked. He was going to take it back and use it directly. He also bought a lot of vinyl records by the way. Anduin thought it was very suitable for Sirius. Temper, occasionally with music to ease the mood is still necessary.
At the same time, Anduin also bought a lot of greeting cards, wrapping paper, packaging boxes, etc., ready to go back and pack some euphoria, which can be given to the rest of the guests at the party. Anduin also bought a set of dresses for himself. Set of suits.
Anduin found it useful to bring Sirius out. It would be great to have someone to help carry things. Sirius irritably held a large cardboard box full of gifts and scolded Anduin out of the mall.
For the next few days, Anduin stayed at Sirius's house obediently. Every day, Sirius either disappeared, or spread out in the living room, or played with the gramophone that Anduin bought him like a big guy. .
During this period, Anduin also asked Sirius about the mystery of communicating through the fireplace. It turns out that the same principle as Floo powder is to link each fireplace through the Floo network. The fireplace in Sirius’s house is specially opened for the Phoenix Order Small communication network, can't move directly with Floo powder, but can communicate in real time.
