Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

"Where is it? Where is it?" Hagrid circled around Sainz like a child.

This is also one of the differences between Easterners and Westerners.

When Orientals are given gifts, even if they are very excited, they will humbly decline, "I am very happy that you can come, why should I spend money..."

Unless they are wary of you, Westerners have no idea what it means to refuse and will of course gladly accept gifts given to them.

In their culture, if you refuse a gift from someone, you are disrespectful to them.

Sainz was just talking nonsense, how could he have prepared any gifts?

But once the words are out, it's hard to take them back.

I quickly thought about what I had on me that could serve as a gift. After thinking for a while, I realized that there was really nothing on me that could serve as a gift.

With a sudden inspiration, he took out a bamboo flute from his briefcase, which he had used to try out songs when he pretended to be a musician.

A double-section purple bamboo with brass joints, nearly one meter long and as thick as a goose egg, would be worth several hundred yuan at a discounted price in RMB, making it a very reasonable gift.

You have to know that during this period, most workers' salary was only more than 300 yuan a month.

Hagrid may not care about the value of the gift, but Sainz himself knows whether he is sincere or not.

The nonsense I said today was my own fault.

He decided in his heart that he would prepare a new gift another day. It might not be as valuable as this flute, but it must be one that Hagrid would like.

Sainz's thoughts raced for a moment, but that didn't stop him from taking something out of his bag.

"What is that? It's not a magic wand, is it? Sainz, you may not know..." Hagrid put down the big wine glass in his hand when he saw him take out a long gift box.

He looked a little evasive. "I have a problem. You...maybe..."

"Wand? No!" Sainz pretended he didn't know Hagrid was forbidden to use a wand. "Mr. Ollivander said the wand chooses the wizard, and I think he's right.

So, excuse me, Hagrid, but if you want a wand as a present, you'll have to come with me to Diagon Alley..."

"Haha, he's right. I mean... you have to choose the wand yourself..."

Hagrid turned a blind eye and stiffly focused on the topic, "Of course I didn't think there was a wand inside, it's just that its box was so long that I didn't react. Yes, I drank a little too much today, so I didn't react for a while."

Taking the sapphire blue hard box, Hagrid's beard trembled with joy, and he choked a little, "Saienz, you are so nice. I haven't received a gift in a long time."

"Don't you want to open it and take a look?"

"May I?"

"of course can!"

"Wow, it's so beautiful, what is it, it looks like a bamboo flute?

Why did it break?

Oh no, I see, this is how you should connect the brass connectors together..."

The extra-long bamboo flute in the key of F major held in Hagrid's hand was like an ordinary person holding a slightly longer chopstick; the size was surprisingly suitable.

"Oh my god, this is a bamboo flute. I actually received a musical instrument..."

Hager choked up and hugged Sainz tightly, "I never thought I would receive a musical instrument. No one ever knew how much I love music.

Sainz, you are so kind, I really don’t know what to say... woooo..."

This is another unreliable thing about Hogwarts. The people here are too emotional and cry at every turn. It's enough.

"Okay...it's just a little token of my appreciation to friends..." It took a lot of effort to calm down the emotional Hagrid.

Under Sainz's patient teaching, Hagrid clumsily learned how to stick the flute membrane and how to press the tone holes with his carrot-thick fingers.

An hour later, Hagrid knew what F key and tube note 5 were.

"Okay, now you know the principle. Now, enjoy your musical journey." After throwing down a book of simple music, Sainz left the stage in embarrassment.

Sainz felt like a veteran who was trying to trick new recruits. "Young man, now that you have learned how to chop, it's time to start your journey of slaying dragons!"

Although it started a bit hastily, it seemed that this small gift, which was hastily prepared to make up the number, really touched Hagrid's heart?

It was a coincidence.

………………

At breakfast on Sunday, Sainz met Cedric again, who was full of energy and vitality. It seemed that the kid had recovered from the blow suffered by the Cannon Team.

"Hello, Sainz."

"Hello, Cedric, why don't you see your roommate?"

"I think it's probably the same reason you came to eat by yourself!"

"It looks like they're all sleeping in, too."

"Yes, please pass me the chili sauce. You should try it. It tastes quite good. It has only appeared recently. I asked students from other grades and they said it didn't exist before."

"You mentioned this. I ate it and it was really good. It suits my taste very well."

"Any news today? In the Daily Prophet, I mean."

"Still the usual ones. Do you want me to give you the sports section?"

"Yes, thank you, I'll give it back to you after I've looked at it."

"No, you can just keep it."

"Thank you... Um... It looks like another messenger is flying towards you."

"Really? That's right. I calculated that it should be here soon." Sainz signaled to the messenger that Speed ​​would not attack it. The little messenger did not land. It dropped the letter while flying through the air and flew away.

Cedric was concentrating on sports news and had no intention of prying into the contents of the letter. He was indeed a gentleman who knew how to keep his distance.

Just as Sainz guessed, it was indeed a reply from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Dear Mr. Autumn:

We have received your deposit for "The Invisible Book of Invisibility". We regret to inform you that the book is temporarily out of stock for some reasons. After communicating with the publisher, you may need to wait until they reprint it with other books, which is half a year later, before you can get the book.

If you have an urgent need, you will need to bear a considerable additional fee yourself, it depends on your decision.

Flourish and Blotts

The live map is already in hand, and there is no strong need for invisibility in the short term, so there is no need to pay extra fees.

I looked up and saw that the owl from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore had flown away without waiting for a reply.

Forget it, I'll write my reply first, and when I go to the eighth floor later, I'll stop by the Owl Shed.

"Speed, are you full? If you are, go out and have fun."

Sainz suddenly thought that this kid Speed ​​was running around everywhere and delivering letters, so he might as well find him a job. He has been idle for the past two weeks and has gained some weight.

It is not a good thing for a bird to have excess fat, as it will cause problems over time.

The only thing that is worrying is that although he can fly very fast, he has not received any special training, so can he deliver the letter accurately?

"Young man, don't leave yet. I want to ask you something. Can you deliver a letter?"

Speed ​​turned his head and looked at Sainz, his expression seemed to say, "You call this a problem?"
