The christmas

The 23rd of December, 1991

At the King's Road station, Remus Lupin and David Greengrass father of Daphne, Astoria Greengrass, and Ether Greengrass has happened to welcome Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass.

Daphne Greengrass hugged her family and introduced her friends to her family. "Dad, this is Anthony Dumbledore, and this is Harry Potter" introduced Daphne with a delighted expression.

"I have heard about you two a lot from my daughter Mr.Potter and Mr.Dumbledore," said David Greengrass.

Anthony after seeing David's hunter's eyes could imagine what Daphne's father is thinking. Her daughter should marry one of us and he the Greengrass patriarch will have one more Wizengamot vote in his pocket.

'It is typical for politicians to see the benefit before their family' thought Anthony inwardly. But respecting his best friends, Anthony smiled and waved goodbye to their friends. 

Remus Lupin holds Harry Potter's shoulder and the Daphne family touched their hands. Soon after a second, his two best friends were apparated to their respective houses. 

Anthony sat down for a while on his briefcase and hissed to his wand.

sss'Comfortable there buddy?'sss asked Anthony. 

Soon his wand vibrated a bit and replied sss'Better than the cold cave in the forbidden forest. Your briefcase is warm!'sss.

Anthony has brought the Serpent of Slytherin with him in his Briefcase. The Serpent complained about the cold harsh weather and asked him to bring him with Anthony.

 Randolph Spudmore was holding his watch and arrived at the King's Cross station.

Randolph Spudmore saw Anthony sitting on his briefcase, and had a little surprised face.

"Oh, dear! I am late! It is 10:05 clock in the morning!" said Randolph with a sorry tone. 

"It's okay, it was only 5 minutes anyway. My friends only have just left me here!" said Anthony. Hugging Randolph and said "Happy Winter's Solstice!" 

"Happy Christmas, it is Christmas, Anthony!" said Randolph mocking his friend/business partner/adopted son. 

In Anthony's heart, Randolph is still his friend that he has met at the Leaky Cauldron.  

Since Randolph can not apparate, they just took a muggle taxi to the Leaky Cauldron.

Anthony was seeing London after a half year. The only thing he could see from Hogwarts was the boundless forbidden forest and the great lake. Especially the Magnificent Hogwarts have left him nostalgic. 

The busy traffic and the people could be seen here. There were muggles singing Christmas songs and some fake Santa Clauses that were ringing the bell. 

'We wish you a merry Christmas' 

'We wish you a merry Christmas' heard Anthony. 

Prior to coming to London, Anthony prepared his gifts for his friends and adoptive parent, and his Girlfriend. 

'Christmas, such a nice time. It is the winter solstice celebration for the Wizards.' thought Anthony in his mind, cherishing the white snow that has fallen in the ground. 

After taking his Earl grey owl out of his cage, Anthony gave him a few treats and let him fly to his house at Diagon Alley. 

"Here we met for the first time! the Leaky Cauldron. A few months ago, I was almost a beggar. But now, because of you, everyone respects me!" said Randolph hugging Anthony's shoulder. 

When Anthony and his adoptive parent Randolph Spudmore entered the Leaky Cauldron, many people recognized Randolph Spudmore. He is the youngest millionaire and owner of Firebolt Company. 

"Ah, Mr.Spudmore! Welcome to Leaky Cauldron! Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this Anthony Dumbledore?" said Tom the owner of Leaky cauldron with a polite face. 

Some Hogwarts alumni girls, at the same age as Randolph, were sitting at the bar chatting with each other. They have lustfully looked at Randolph with a fallen-in-love eye,

'It is everywhere the same, people like money. ' said Anthony to himself and went to the backroom, touching the bricks and opening the door to Diagon Alley. 

Randolph followed Anthony and entered Diagon Alley. 

Soon after, just after 50 steps, Randolph made a 90 degree right turn and stand next to a shop's window glass.

Anthony read the shop's window glass and become surprised. The 2 story building that they are standing in front of them was dark brown, outside the Glass window young wizard kids from the age of 5 to 9 were putting their nose on the glass window and saw the brooms that are lined in. 

"Firebolt Company by Randolph and Anthony" the Glass window had a slightly transparent white sentence written on it. 

"Surprise!" said Randolph and revealed to him what the young boys were staring at. 

"Firebolt 2, Firebolt PRO, and Firebolt" was lined behind the Glass window and featured their price. 

Fire Bolt - 900 galleons.

Fire Bolt 2 - 1200 galleons.

Firebolt PRO - 3000 galleons. 

listed the shop in front of the Brooms. If a thief wants to rob these brooms, he would only find his own demise. The Glass window has an anti-thief charm as well as protection charms in various fields. 

When Anthony entered the shop, an aromatic scent can be smelt. It is as if someone is cooking Chicken! 

A young boy, perhaps a fresh Hogwarts graduate was standing behind the cash machine. 

The first floor of the shop was a regular Flying Broom shop that only sells Firebolt models. In the shop, there is also a fridge that serves the Lightning beverage with the price of 3 sickels. 

Anthony's eyes glittered and saw Randolph's simple yet fancy shop.

"Randolph, how do you do your designing? I don't see your table and design drawings" said Anthony wondering.

Randolph said, "I will show you my friend" and opened a secret and hidden room behind the cash machine wall.

When Anthony got inside the room various broom designs were aligned in an orderly manner. 

"Anthony, come on, Selena is going to be mad at us! Her food is going to get cold" said Randolph dragging his friend on upstairs. 

When Anthony went on the second floor, he could see a very comfy apartment with 5 bedrooms. 

"Randolph, this place is amazing! I feel very comfortable here!" said Randolph and choosing his room, the utmost left Bedroom that has two windows directing to the Diagon Alley street."

"Guys! The Lunch is ready!" said Selena with a loud voice. 

"Coming!" said Anthony and went to the Dining room. 

Anthony had a good day talking with Randolph and Selena, getting updates on their relationship and ate a lot of delicious food that was made by Selena.

Soon after, he took a lot of beef from the Fridge and placed it inside his briefcase

sss" Sorry! Other people should not see you!"sss said Anthony giving food to the Serpent of the Slytherin.

sss"It's alright. I am used to hunger!"sss replied the Basilisk eating the beef with high appetite. At this moment on his window, Earl the owl could be seen. Therefore Anthony let his owl come in and gave him some treat!

"You are slow Earl! I came here before you! You need to fly and do some workout!" said Anthony gently stroking him. 

Anthony took out four gifts from his briefcase and wrote some letters. 

"Dear Daphne, 

I have prepared a necklace for you. Made of a silver chain and has a red garnet jewel in the middle of it. Indicating extends of our friendship.

Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

Anthony. L.D"

'Better not tell her that this necklace has several 'protego maxima' 'fianto duri' and 'repello inimicum' spells in it. During a crisis, Daphne's necklace will cast the ultimate protective spells and surround her with white light. Anthony has bought this at a high price from Diagon Alley auction house through Lupin. 

"Dear Harry,

I have prepared a Broom for you But don't get sad about I am giving you an old broom. This is the last Firebolt Pro! Only limited to National Quidditch Team players. Since you don't have any quality brooms, hope you like my gift.

Merry Christmas!

Sincerely

Anthony. L.D"

"Dear Selena and Randolph,

I have prepared a Muggle couple's dresses for you guys! Hope you all the best!

and Merry Christmas, welcome to the family Selena. 

Sincerely yours,

Anthony.L.D"

"Dear Professor Snape.

I have sent you a photo of Lily Evans.

Always...

Sincerely. "

Anthony who took Harry's photo album secretly and took the picture of Lily Evans by a good camera produced the smiling photo of Lily Evans. Even though it is a brief moment, Snape might cry.

Thinking about Snape crying miserably on the floor, crying, Anthony laughed and said "Merry Christmas!"
