Lin An shook his head: "Harry's aunt and uncle are not kind to him, so he will probably stay at Hogwarts."
Draco frowned: "You're not..."
He was a little embarrassed, and then his voice was low:
"I heard that you used to live in the bridge... bridge cave..."
For Draco, this was completely unimaginable.
"You also said it before." Lin An blinked:
"Let me tell you secretly, I haven't spent all the subsidy Professor McGonagall gave me when the semester started. I can probably exchange it for some pounds. Plus some of the original savings - don't worry, I can stay in a hotel this time."
Draco pursed his lips and said no more.
Then he paused again: "My Christmas gift..."
Then he stopped talking and just shook his head, with a few strands of light golden hair dangling in front of his forehead:
"Nothing. Then...I'll leave first."
…
After he left, Lin An looked at the application form and put it down again.
Then I started to worry——
So...what should I give Draco as a gift?
Electronic products... Oh, let’s rule this out first. Whether it’s Hogwarts or Magic Manor, they can’t be used.
Others...are too expensive to afford!
Lin An thought for a while, and finally looked at his savings - it was very good, and there were 3 Galleons, 11 Sickles and 20 Copper Nuts.
There is no need to spend any money at Hogwarts, so Lin An plans to keep the change. And 3 galleons is neither too much nor too much.
Ron once said loudly during the chat that Mr. Weasley's salary at the Ministry of Magic is 65 Galleons a month - in comparison, the subsidy given by Hogwarts is very considerable.
But, that's only in the magical world.
If converted into pounds sterling, then these 3 galleons can only be exchanged for about 15 pounds - if Gringotts does not charge a handling fee.
What could 15 pounds, plus the 120 pounds that I had saved, buy in London in 1991?
Of course, not only Draco, she even needed to give Harry a gift.
Lin An felt a little melancholy.
Reborn in a different world, I still worry about money when I return.
But now that she is still in school, it is useless to think about it, because she neither understands the prices nor can she see them with her own eyes.
The first priority is to pack things first. On Christmas Day in London in 1991, the temperature was not fake.
On the afternoon of December 23, Hogwarts had already started Christmas vacation in advance.
After all, most students had to pass through platform nine and three-quarters before they could go back. The considerate school set aside this time, which made Lin An feel happy and worried at the same time.
Fortunately, with the entire day on the 24th, she could make a lot of plans.
What worries me is that as a result, I will need to pay for one more night's hotel expenses, which will make the already small savings worse.
But anyway, the vacation has begun.
She only brought a small suitcase, which contained a set of daily clothes and some personal toiletries. Then she shrunk the suitcase and put it in her pocket. Only then did she feel the convenience of the magic world——
After all, who doesn’t want to travel without luggage?
For British people, Christmas is as worth looking forward to as New Year.
Hogwarts has even arranged an auditorium for this purpose for a long time, and the festive atmosphere is so rich that Lin An can hardly imagine it.
At this moment, even the train is decorated with Christmas decorations.
Everyone had been away from home for so long, and now they felt like they were returning home. Only Draco looked at her and hesitated to speak.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
And just at this moment, the train arrived at the station.
As soon as the carriage door opened, the sky was full of snowflakes.
And in this heavy snow, a young couple stood there, making the dim lights of platform nine and three-quarters at night cast a bright color.
