Black-and-white (Translation)

96. Finally complete

Of course, the two house elves had come. Just like Kreacher. The three did not hesitate to help with serving. Only with great difficulty could the two birthday children persuade the helpers to sit down at the table.
the meal was delicious. There was a choice of different dishes, across the world.
Harry enjoyed himself deliciously as some guests stared at the chopsticks.
"That's not serious?" Sirius complained.
"Yes, but it is also a fork next to it, you can take it."said the Kreacher.
Rolo and her parents also looked at the things in confusion. Only Gogol seemed to know how to handle it. He showed it to the others as well.
Stories were told all the time. Neville's grandmother reported how far they were on the world map. it would take only one to two years until everything was drawn. At least as far as the areas of humans were concerned. The magical beings were almost completely unexplored.
Dimitrius and the twins told how their shops ran. and that really was not bad. Also Dumbledore gave some stories for the best.

After the meal, Harry and Neville were urged to open the gifts.
For Harry, of course, there were many books and sweets. neville also got books, but they dealt extensively with plants of all kinds.
From the goblins, Harry got a snake figure, the family of course had made them themselves and everyone had helped.
Dimitrius handed each of the lions a box. When the two guys opened it, they stared stupidly.
"Um, thanks Dimi, but I'm not that vain," Harry said cautiously.
"I agree," Neville mumbled.
Both boys held up a mirror perplexed.
The researcher and his wife burst out laughing.
"Hey you two, who do you think I am? These are not normal mirrors. This is my latest invention. The two-way mirror. You can communicate with other people. "
"Like a fireplace?" Neville wanted to know.
"Something like that, just that you do not have to go to your knees anymore. you just have to press this button and say who you want to talk to. "
Harry cocked his head.
"Similar to a phone."
The spells that had no idea about the Muggle world looked questioning. But Aurora nodded.
"Likewise, Dimi came up with the idea when we were on vacation with the Muggles last year. We were thrilled with this device and so my husband was right behind it. "The last sentence, the woman had spoken proudly.
"Of course you have to tell in advance how your mirror connection should be called."
Dimitrius showed the two how it worked. And immediately it was tried.
The rest of the guests made big eyes.
"That's how you make a fortune," Fred commented.
"Yes, but for the moment I just want to sell this product just like my powder to certain people. I do not want it to be used by the Death Eaters. "
"Understandable," commented Minerva. Who was going to place an order tomorrow.
"Would you sell it to the goblins?"Gripock wanted to know curiously.
"Because I'm sure your people are not on Riddle's side, yes."
He made the goblins shine. Especially the little Rolo. That way she could talk to Harry more often. because the chimneys of the goblins were not connected to the network.

From Luna, both guys got self-made supporters against some beasts who got into the coffee ... well.
Harry handed Neville his gift. There were different rose bulbs from the Rose estate. of course also planted in the volcanic soil.
"What will grow out of this?" The plant lover wanted to know.
Harry chuckled.
"Let yourself be surprised. Only so much, everything comes from our property. "
Severus was pleased because Harry had said "ours." He gave his husband a kiss on the head.
neville blushed and thanked him. Then he handed over his gift.
"You have to be careful, it's very easy."
Gently, Harry opened the box. In it was a tree on which two animals sat. A cat and a bat. Both were made of fine silver paper.
"I wonder who the bat is," Remus grinned.
Severus shot him a dirty look.
Harry ignored the quarrels. He had some idea.
"Say, forest spirit. Is that about? "The vampire adviser did not say, it was just too unimaginable.
but the boy nodded to him.
"Yes, I made it out of some chewing gum papers my mum always gives me."
Almost immediately it was quiet in the room. Most of them looked awestruck at the little masterpiece. At some point Harry's tears came. Carefully he put the figure back in the box, then he hugged his fellow-lion.
"Thanks Nev, that's incredible. I will keep it in honor."
The shy boy gave the hug back.
"I know that, that's why I gave it to you."
As the boys opened the last presents, Severus looked at his student with new respect. Harry knew what the chewing gum papers were about. And now Longbottom had made such a lovely gift to his husband from some of them. yes, the character would definitely get a place of honor. And a magic spell, so it was not destroyed.
