Arms Dealers From Hogwarts

"My esteemed Master Fox! The spoon answered your call—"

With a crisp snap, an elf appeared in front of Jemini. As soon as the elf appeared, he immediately bowed humbly to Jemini.

"Hello, Mr. Spoon." Jemini crouched down with a smile: "Can you do me a favor?"

"As you wish, even if it is to die for you, the spoon will not turn back." The spoon lowered his head, and his tone was full of determination and enthusiasm: "Master Fox is powerful and beautiful, it is the honor of the spoon to give everything for you!"

"Uh..." Jemini blinked awkwardly, this is still a elf with firm belief...

"I just wanted to ask, do you elves have any means of detecting curses..." Jemini smiled gently: "Actually, I received too many Christmas gifts, and some gift-givers even talked to me. There have been conflicts, I'm not sure if they will curse me..."

"Please rest assured, Master Fox." The spoon still humbly maintained a bowing posture: "We organize the Christmas gifts received by every student at Hogwarts, and we will conduct investigations during the sorting process. Last night Spoon and Lolo checked Master Jemini's gift three times, and there is no gift with a curse, if you are dissatisfied with the work of the spoon, the spoon is willing to cut off the head and present it to you."

"No no no, what do I want your head for?" Jemini waved his hand quickly.

He felt that it was not good for the elf to be too fanatical, and it was a little scary.

"There are so many students' gifts, everyone has to check three times, thank you for your hard work." Jemini said gently.

"No, only Mr. Fox's gift has been checked three times." The spoon raised his head and looked at Jemini with a frenzy: "The spoon knows that Mr. Fox has offended a lot of people, so the spoon and Lolo paid special attention to those people. a gift."

Jemini: "..."

Does my reputation stink like this?

"Anyway, thank you all." Jemini smiled and waved two boxes of candy: "It's just right, I was going to send it to you tonight, but since you're here, just bring it with you. Let's go back."

"Master Fox?" The spoon raised his head in confusion: "Is this an ingredient?"

"It's a Christmas present." Jemini said mildly: "I always run to trouble you to help me get food at night, so let's take it as a little bit of my mind. Originally I wanted to put it in socks, but considering that you might It was a bit unacceptable, so I replaced it with colored wrapping paper, a total of 237 copies."

The total number of students and teachers at Hogwarts is only about a thousand people, but there are more than 200 elves.

There were not so many elves in the original Hogwarts. Legend has it that some kind-hearted badgers initially took in the elves who were abused and expelled by the wizards, and then they reproduced in Hogwarts from generation to generation.

Although they are called slave creatures, the elves at Hogwarts can be said to be the ones with the best living conditions - for example, their pillowcases are very clean, and they also have their own dormitory.

So in a sense, Hogwarts is not only the home of the students, but also their home.

"Woo...wow—"

Almost instantly, the tears of the spoon fell.

"Blessings of benevolence and kindness...Master Fox, willing to give a spoon Christmas gift...Ugh—"

Jemini: "..."

So the difficulty in communicating with these elves is here.

This kind of creature is too humble, and even the most normal etiquette will make them grateful.

The slave thinking deeply imprinted in their minds continues from generation to generation. Although Jemini will not save them from the fire, but he will not be at ease with their service. He does not have such a big face, so even if it is verbal thanks,

It's also a form of respect.

To be precise, Jemini not only respects them, but also respects himself.

While he respects the fruits of the elves' labor, he also respects his own etiquette upbringing.

The spoon thanked Jemini once again, and then walked back with two large boxes. The most worthy of showing off for the elf is to let the master serve the master when he is completely unaware of his existence. It is meticulous, so the elves actually don't like to appear in front of people.

After the spoon left, Jemini smiled and looked at the hill-like pile of gifts beside him, his eyes seemed to be emitting a golden light.

After a while, Jemini fell silent as he looked at the piles of snacks.

"Why do you eat so much?" Picking up a box of chocolate frogs, Jemini sighed, "It's still sweets..."

Hermione gave him a whole box of chocolate frogs, and Dumbledore gave him a small gift bag of Bibido Beans. He said that based on his years of experience, there must be a foot peel in it. I strongly recommend Jemini have a taste...

Snape gave him a bottle of enhancer, which is a good thing, it can enhance the effect of other potions, for example, the effect of the Flux is twelve hours, but with this bottle of enhancer, it can even enhance the effect of other potions. Extend its effects to more than fifteen hours.

This thing is not cheap, such a small bottle can sell for fifteen Galleons at least.

In fact, Snape's ability to send gifts has already surprised Jemini. After all, he just pitted him a Nimbus 2000 a while ago...

But thinking that he is also a potion master, a proper invisible rich man, Jemini is relieved.

Neville gave Jemini a pot of succulent. It seems that his herbal talent has begun to show. This succulent is produced in the Sahara desert in northwest China and in Egypt, and it looks similar to ordinary succulents. It's very different, in the shape of a lotus flower, but there is a mouth with sharp teeth in the middle, which can bite people...

The biggest feature of this plant is that it can properly absorb the excess moisture in the air, keep the dry humidity of the room at a moderate level, and basically does not need to water it, even in the desert, a drizzle for half a year will be enough. Let it survive tenaciously. In a rainy country like the United Kingdom, it can live very nourishing.

The only downside is that this thing grinds its teeth sometimes...

What a grinning fairy~

Draco gave Jemini a top hat, the kind worn by the phantom thief Kidd, but it was black. Jemini said he liked it very much and put it on directly.

Looking in the mirror, he is still handsome.

The rest of the gifts are just some thought gifts, snacks, stationery, decorations, etc. Jemini wrote down all the names of the people who gave the gifts, and plans to return the gifts one by one in the coming year.

Half an hour later, Jemini was leisurely eating breakfast in the auditorium.

There were still many students who stayed at the school for Christmas. There were about dozens of people at the four long tables, scattered all over the auditorium.

However, at this time, everyone's eyes stayed on the table in front of Jemini.

In front of Jemini is a tower of various delicacies. On a big brass plate, five or six roasted potatoes form a circle. In the middle are two roasted pigeons. The pigeons are brushed with sweet chili sauce. , the taste is very appealing.

There is a small pillar in the middle of the copper plate, and a small tray is supported above it. In the small tray is a steak of Wellington, next to it is a small piece of foie gras, and there are several large cherries in the middle for decoration.

Next to this double-storey gourmet tower, a bundle of elderflower dew sparkling water is quietly placed.

Don't even think about it, this is definitely the work of the elves...

"Why is his breakfast different from ours?"

On the long table in Gryffindor, Ron looked at the large tray in front of Jemini, and gulped and swallowed.
