The man behind Hogwarts

Evelin's face was as red as a peach plum, she slapped her hands on the wooden chair, and said repeatedly: "I remembered it, I just remembered it."

Her voice is mellow, with the unique crispness of a little girl of this age, as melodious as a lark; while being crisp and mellow, it also has Evelin's unique husky voice.

When William saw that she didn't seem to be surrendering, he let go.

After all the playing, he felt a little relaxed and happy. Unfortunately, the little girl in front of him was still a little girl after all, and could not inspire any reverie in him. She was just playful.

As soon as she let go of her hand, Evelin immediately rolled out of William's control. Then, unwilling to do so, she wanted to repeat her same trick and sneak attack him.

Before he made any move, when he saw William's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and he shouted: "Look at whatever you want, don't look at it!"

William raised his lips and covered his eyes with his hands, indicating "if you don't want to look, don't look."

Evelin calmed down her excited mood and stretched out her hand to feel the temperature of her face, only to feel it was burning hot.

Seeing that William's hands were still blindfolded, she stretched out her green-white little finger and poked him, just right on his arm, and said softly: "I really remembered, I brought some... "

The little girl stopped playing and talked slowly.

William listened attentively, nodding his head in agreement from time to time, and complimenting him from time to time.

"Your Rozier family is really rich! You are actually allowed to bring so many valuable things to you, a young wizard who has just entered school."

From Evelin's words, William had a little understanding of her family's luxury.

"These are nothing, just some gadgets. They are not valuable. They are just more of a rarity, so I just take them with me to play with."

Evelin waved her hand "shyly".

She looked at William's frown and thought, and she just thought that any place would be good. The eyebrows are beautiful, the nose is beautiful, the mouth is beautiful... and there are no flaws.

She didn't dare to look directly, she just glanced at it from time to time and tried to use her peripheral vision.

The person she was looking at did not respond to her gaze and was deep in thought.

"let me see......"

William asked uncertainly: "Are the scales of the white sand snake you mentioned just now the kind of white sand snake unique to African tribes?"

He spent a long time in the library, read many books, and accidentally saw an introduction to this animal.

The white sand snake is a magical animal endemic to Africa. Moreover, it only exists in a few areas in Africa, and it is said that there are many miraculous things.

"That's right, that's the kind."

Hearing Evelin's words of affirmation, William felt certain and made a decision.

Hagrid likes magical animals, so he must be more fond of this white sand snake scale.

"Well, I want to give Hagrid a gift, but I don't have anything new, so..."

"You want this?" Evelyn asked.

William nodded.

Evelin showed a sly expression, raised her buttocks, and moved a little further into the chair, letting her feet lift off the ground and sway like a small boat.

"Although the white sand snake scales are not valuable, they are very rare. Not only are they as smooth as jade, but they are also warm in winter and cool in summer. It is my favorite thing.

Moreover, don’t you know that anything a girl gives you should never be given to others?

Now you want to give it to Hagrid? "

As she spoke, the image of Hagrid emerged in her mind, the scene of ferrying across the river at the beginning of school—a small boat, a big Hagrid...

William was also a little embarrassed.

He asked: "I plan to buy it from you, just tell me the price."

Hearing William’s words, Evelin raised her eyebrows and looked at him, “Don’t talk to me about money, do you think I will be short of money?

If you like it, I'll give it to you directly...it's my own person anyway.

But you want to give it to someone else..."

When she said this, Evelin didn't know what she thought of, and her pretty face turned red again after she calmed down.

William hummed, agreeing with her statement. She must not be short of money.

Moreover, seeing what Evelin meant, she also liked the white sand snake scales quite a bit, and seemed to be a little concerned about giving them to Hagrid.

Thinking of this, William frowned.

"What you said makes sense. It's really not a good idea to do this." He smiled gently and then said, "Let's forget about it. I'll think of other ways later."

He also has preparation plans, such as Fran. So there is no frustration.

Evelin frowned.

She just wanted to find an excuse to ask William to make some conditions to satisfy her little whims, but William wouldn't be fooled.

She rolled up a strand of hair and said in a clear voice: "Don't worry, I didn't say not to give it to you."

Catching William's attention, she continued: "Although I like it very much, if you really want it, how can I refuse you, just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I gave you such a beloved thing, do you want to give me one in return?"

As soon as these words came out, William suddenly understood.

He smiled secretly. He didn't expect this just now. She couldn't bear to part with the scales of the White Sand Snake. She was clearly taking advantage of the opportunity to threaten him.

He was also confused by Evelin's consistent behavior, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly become cunning.

So he said dumbfounded: "Don't beat around the bush, just say it directly, what do you want?"

Evelin snorted and patted him.

It's so annoying, why are you so direct? He said it as if he had ulterior motives.

"I don't want anything. Anyway, it depends on what you want. I'm not in a hurry."

For some reason, after she said this, her heart trembled, her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly jumped off the chair and ran away in confusion.

Before leaving the courtyard, he turned back and said: "I will bring you the scales tomorrow."

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, William shook his head and stood up to leave.

Regardless of anything else, at least the gift for Hagrid was found.

......

The next day.

Evelin did what she said and handed the White Sand Snake scales to William.

With a cool expression and without saying a word, she patted a leaf-shaped jade stone into William's hand and said, "Here, I give it to you." After that, she took the little sisters and left.

William wanted to ask her what she wanted in return for a gift, but when he saw the people around him, he didn't say anything.

I thought to myself that since I was going to learn carving anyway, I might as well learn from Andrea in the future and carve a wooden sculpture of Evelin as a gift to her.

Then he lowered his head and looked at the scales.

I saw that the scales in my hand really had a jade-like texture, and the overall shape was like the body of a spoon, with a small depression.

The jade scales are white in color, like gravel. They can also reflect light under the sunlight. When held in the hand, they are warm, smooth and hard.

Having obtained it, William without delay paid a visit to Hagrid.

She told him her thoughts one by one, and took out a page of paper and handed it to him carefully, which recorded William's demands. He was afraid that Hagrid would make a mistake, so he came up with this strategy.

Hagrid immediately agreed and said, "Just leave it to me."

William observed his expression and found that he could not see a trace of impatience or unwillingness, but instead felt a little excited.

A smile appeared in my heart, and I took out the white sand snake scales...
