No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 857 Location
Just as Ou Mengmeng thought, the Dursleys were startled when they received the owl gift and wanted to throw it away. With Vernon's old-fashioned personality, he simply could not accept an owl as a messenger.

Aunt Petunia still unpacked the package and fed some nuts to Hathaway. After she finished feeding her, she realized that this was what she would do when her sister received a letter.

Hathaway ate the nuts and flew away happily. No need to reply, and since the two families were close, it was not difficult to go back and forth.

Dally rushed over, "Is this from Harry?"

As he said that, he snatched the package from Aunt Petunia's hand and opened it violently. All kinds of candies were scattered all over the floor. But it was not bad. This was a Christmas package, and they were all individually wrapped. They looked very nice.

Uncle Vernon picked up the letter, glanced at it quickly, glanced at the items on the ground, picked up the album, and handed it to his wife.

Penny hesitated for a moment, but still opened it. It was just an ordinary photo. The people in it were motionless. Lily was wearing a beautiful wedding dress and standing in front of a small church with her lover. It was obvious that they were both very happy.

Vernon had never met Lily, let alone James Potter. When he saw the photo, he didn't say anything. Everyone has things that they cannot touch.

"Dad, this is for you." Dali opened the red velvet box and stuffed it into his father's hand. He picked up all the candies and beat Xiaohua with a stick. Xiaohua actually sang a Christmas song. Dali was so scared that he almost threw it away. However, he was a person who only remembered to eat and not to be beaten. He was scared for a moment, but immediately put the candy into his mouth. It tasted good. He nodded and walked away happily with the candy.

Vernon looked at the silver tie clip and then at the letter, which said that Harry had earned it himself and emphasized that it was not a magical item and could be used with confidence.

At this time, they were all wearing pajamas and had no ties to try on, but they looked very delicate and steady.

"So, Harry's godmother is okay." Vernon looked around and said to his wife.

"If he has a godmother, why has no one ever seen him?" Petunia couldn't help asking. What she actually wanted to ask was, if he had a godmother, why did he live with them? She felt that Harry's letters were much better after he went to the wizarding world. His handwriting before was as bad as dog crawling, but now, the dark green ink, the old-fashioned ink-dipped quill pen's cursive handwriting, and the choice of words and sentences all showed that he had received a good education in the past six months.

Vernon was not a person who liked to think. He accepted the gift and twitched his nose directly, "Hurry up and make breakfast!"

Penny hurried to prepare, and when she got to the kitchen, she noticed that she had been holding her sister's photo tightly in her hand. When Lily got married, she didn't inform her. At that time, her parents were gone, and the sisters had a bad relationship. Maybe she thought it was unnecessary to inform her sister! However, when Penny got married, she didn't inform them either. Of course, she didn't know how to inform them.

The small album actually contains not only Lily's wedding photos, but also a lot of photos they collected from their classmates in the past six months.

Originally, this was the Christmas gift that Hagrid gave to Harry in the original book. However, Ou Mengmeng knew with her toenails that it would be strange for Hagrid to think of this. Someone must have given him a hint.

This time, at the beginning of the school year, she asked Hagrid if she could contact her parents' old classmates to collect photos of Lily and her classmates. The classmates were as enthusiastic as in the books. They had been classmates for seven years and lived in the school together. Lily was actually quite likable, so all the photos were collected in no time.

The photos that Ou Mengmeng copied for Penny were carefully selected. They couldn't be too bright or Penny would be jealous and sad. But photos are just photos, you can't make people cry, right? Facing the camera, everyone will force a smile for no reason. So think about it, the photos she picked were those with words on the back. Those classmates were actually very thoughtful and wrote down the stories behind the photos. Some of them were about Lily in their hearts. These classmates hoped that Harry, who had no impression of his parents, could understand them better.

Of course, Ou Mengmeng found that these people rarely mentioned James. They only mentioned Lily, so the four hijackers were really bad boys favored by Dumbledore. At least, in the eyes of their classmates, they were really not that good.

These photos with words on them could at least let Petunia understand her sister's life in the wizarding world. Whether it was good or bad, maybe she would want to know.

Penny was not in a good mood all day. After she read the story behind the photo, she actually knew that it was written for Harry to see. Maybe the real situation was not so good, but what did it matter? For someone who is no longer there, of course, you have to say good things.

But despite her jealousy, she still read the stories behind each photo. Finally, she picked out a photo of Lily throwing the bouquet, put it in a frame, and placed it on the family photo wall, in her place, neither in front nor behind.

Vernon looked at it and said nothing.

Dali ran over, took a look, and ran away again.

Of course, for the Dursleys, this was the first Christmas without Harry in eleven years, and deep down, they were relieved. They could finally have a Christmas of their own, without having to worry about anyone else's face.

The gift incident in the morning was nothing to Ou Mengmeng and the others. Now that they were in London, they also went to Diagon Alley.

These few days are also the busiest time of the year in Diagon Alley. There are crowds of people, and everyone is preparing for Christmas and New Year. It is also one of the best times of the year for Foster's toy store.

Of course, Harry and Ou Mengmeng didn't need to help. Money was never the most important thing to old Foster, especially after his granddaughter suggested doing business in the Muggle world. The magic toy business was really their foundation in the wizarding world. It was just to prove that they were still here. So, they just came here to play.

By the way, he got together with his old neighbors. Of course, the focus was Harry's new safe. Harry had to go and see what had been recovered and to determine the extent of the damage to those that had been recovered.

Ou Mengmeng did not follow in. She pulled Faye aside to chat with her, talking about her life in Hogwarts. She mainly complained about how bad the food was and how wasteful it was. Faye just sat there and listened to her. She tried several times to pull away her poor little hand that Ou Mengmeng was holding, but failed.

I couldn't bear to look at the pull ring on the side. Is it appropriate for a little wizard like you to pull a goblin like this?

"Ms. Foster, Mr. Fay has to work." Griphook said coldly to Ou Mengmeng.

"Am I not a customer? As a customer, does it violate your rules for me to talk to my account manager for a while?" Ou Mengmeng loves to study the rules the most, so this can't stump her.

In fact, the placement of photo walls or photo cabinets in Europe and the United States is regular, and they are arranged according to the closeness of the family. Penny put her sister's photo here, which is a kind of implicit acceptance.
