Helena looked up at her father angrily. She thought of the terrified expression on her father's face when she came out just now. As a form of revenge, she deliberately raised her voice and asked, "Father, you can make Undead Knights and master so many Necromancy spells. I've never seen you afraid of these things. Why are you scared of Muggle's ghost instead?"
"You don't know … this …" Allen looked embarrassed. He didn't know where his silver tongue had gone, and he couldn't explain it clearly. He didn't want to lose face in front of his daughter, so he simply let go of his daughter's hand and stood up decisively. He forcefully pulled open the drawer of the TV cabinet, picked out a triangular magic DVD, and put it into the magic DVD player. After that, he turned his head and said to Helena, "Helena, if you are sure that you won't regret it, you will know the answer after watching this movie."
A few hours later, in the middle of the night.
The summer night breeze was gently blowing the curtains. Luna was in her room. She didn't even open her eyes when she heard the noise. She just turned over and moved away from the bed. After that, she fell asleep again.
After a while, the cold aura and abnormal light made Luna realize that something was wrong. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a woman with white hair and black hair was bending over her bed and looking at her.
Luna's eyes bulged, and she recognized the woman. "Hmm? Helena? What are you doing? "
"Mother … I …" After Helena was asked, she fell into a memory for a moment. Then, her expression stiffened and she looked around in panic. "Father just took me to watch a Muggle horror movie. I feel very scared now." Helena was stunned.
As Helena spoke, she could not help but look at things like the curtains in the room. She felt that the things that usually looked very warm now looked like something evil was hiding in the shadows, ready to attack her.
"Where is your father?" Luna yawned and closed her eyes. She wanted to go back to sleep. "Good girl, don't be afraid. It's safe here."
"Father said he was going to the tower after watching it." Helena felt that the whole room was filled with anxiety. "Mother, Muggle's ghost is too scary. She can kill people!"
Luna had to open her eyes. "Helena, you are a ghost. You can use Ghost Scream to kill people …"
"Muggle can also control time!" Helena saw that her mother was about to close her eyes again. She quickly materialized and pushed her mother.
"Your father and I can do it too!" Luna turned her back to Helena. "Helena, you can stay here if you are afraid. It's safe here …"
"Mother, you don't know anything!" Helena's eyes were filled with fear. She anxiously floated to Luna who had to open her eyes again. She was afraid that without her mother's protection, Muggle's ghost would jump out from somewhere. "I thought I was safe because I didn't enter the house. But I saw the security guard who didn't enter the house get dragged into the toilet by Muggle … Now I know why father is so scared!"
The next morning, Allen, who went to the tower garden to spend the night with Anka, heard a heated discussion before he returned to the living room.
Alan, who didn't sleep well because of the horror movie, saw that everything on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, such as the teapot and teacups, had been moved to the corner of the table. Instead, there was a long piece of parchment, an ink bottle, and a thick quill.
Albert and Hibiscus Chinensis stood in front of the parchment, and Emily was next to them. Lunn seemed to be a little overwhelmed by the discussion. He lay on the side and played with the bird snake that was coiled around his hand. Helena was also sitting on a small stool. She did not listen to their discussion. The ghost just felt that she preferred to stay in crowded places.
Luna, who could not sleep because of Helena, was curled up on the sofa behind Helena. She sensed that someone was coming. Her half-awake eyes met Allen's, and then she glared at Allen with her silver-gray bulging eyes. Allen glared back provocatively, and then he saw a layer of shallow dark circles under Luna's big eyes. He smiled with satisfaction and then looked away.
Allen, who no longer looked at Luna, leaned over and found that there was nothing written on the parchment.
Albert's eyes lit up when he saw his younger brother coming over. He waved at Allen and said, "Allen, come over here. You're smart. Help us think, what should we write on the gift list?"
Hibiscus wrapped one arm around her chest and propped up her chin with the other, causing her originally perfect lines to be pulled out of shape. She was very worried. She had always wanted the wedding to be perfect, not letting go of any details. However, writing the gift list, which should not have been a problem, had become her biggest worry. "The family doesn't lack anything … I really can't think of what else we need … What should I write on the list?"
Allen was stunned. He did not know what his elder brother and sister-in-law were worried about.
"Since we have everything at home, we can't let the things they send over stay in the storage room and collect dust …" Emily said seriously. Then she rolled her eyes like Allen. "I think we can ask the guests to bring some delicious food. I heard that the Duke of Honey put some new candies on the shelf …"
"That's a good idea. The guests this time are of different nationalities. We can let everyone have a taste …" Albert's eyes lit up. He leaned over and dipped his quill in ink. He was about to write down Emily's suggestion on the parchment, but Hibiscus Chinensis quickly stopped him. "Albert, don't forget that it took us a lot of effort to determine the menu for our wedding banquet. The snacks have also been arranged …"
"Uh, sorry … Dear." Albert scratched his head. He just remembered that it took a lot of effort to determine the menu that would satisfy at least the relatives and friends from three different countries.
"Then we can ask them to send some toys over. Weasley's Magic Toy Theater can find all kinds of interesting toys suitable for making gifts." Seeing that her suggestion was not accepted, Emily tilted her head indifferently and said obediently, "If you have a baby in the future, you don't have to buy toys. We lack them at home."
"Emily is so smart. But we still don't know if our first baby will be a boy or a girl. Let's just write something down first. You can play with it when the time comes." Hibiscus Chinensis smiled. She and her fiancé, who was a little shy at the mention of children, looked at each other. Albert understood and bent down to write this point on the parchment. "By the way, Emily, is there anything you want?"
Emily didn't feel shy at being seen through. She used her finger to press her chin. "Hmm … I can ask them to buy a fire crossbow from the Quidditch boutique. In the future, I can use it to teach my little nephews or nieces how to fly."
"Emily, don't you have a Nimbus 2001 in Slytherin?" Albert didn't think much of it and asked curiously.
Emily blushed a little and replied, "That's a broom that the school received as a donation from Allen. It's a public property and not for personal use. Therefore, it's only limited to use within the Hogwarts. We can't take these brooms out of school during the summer vacation."
"As a gift, a flying broom is too expensive. It's not suitable to write it on the gift list … hmm …" Seeing the little girl's dejected expression, Hibiscus Chinensis quickly bent down and hugged her. "But this is nothing to our family. Come with me to Diagon Alley later and let us pick one for you."
Emily raised her face and hugged Hibiscus Chinensis fiercely. Allen behind them smiled at Emily's small head that popped out from Hibiscus Chinensis's shoulder. The little girl was a little shy and uncomfortable. Emily knew that Allen knew that she had made a fortune by selling things in the 'Everything You Want' house. It was enough for her to buy a lot of fire crossbows.
After Albert finished writing the toys, he raised his head and looked at the pitifully short list of words. He got up and said with a worried face, "Everyone, please do us a favor. Is there anything you want? Please help us so that we can add some words to this list … Merlin, this is even more difficult than completing Professor Snape's Potions thesis homework …"
"Albert, maybe you can write some clothes or something?" Allen touched his chin. "I mean, witches never complain about having too many clothes."
Hibiscus Chinensis heard this and her eyes lit up. "Albert, you're right! Allen's brain is really good! "
At this time, Lunn noticed Allen's presence. He put the birdsnake into his pocket and got up. "Allen, you're finally up. I've been waiting for you. Father asked me to hurry you and ask if you can release the two Bulgarian Dark Wizards."
