Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 419: Suspicious Christmas Gift
On Christmas Day, the sky did not clear, the snow had fallen overnight, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.
The room was very dark. The heavy curtains blocked the cold air that seeped in through the cracks in the windows, and also blocked the light from the outside. In front of the desk were the books that he read after staying up late last night, and Albert was still sleeping.
Not long after, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the corridor, and Nia, who was wearing pajamas, ran to Albert to ask her guilt early in the morning, because she did not receive a Christmas present from Albert this year, which made her Nia was very unhappy, and had been wrestling her face since she woke up in the morning.
The fat cat named Tom got in as soon as the door was opened, seemed to sense something, and looked up at the birdcage hanging by the window.
In the birdcage, Shera shook her head and stared at the uninvited fat cat. It raised its paw, smashed it, and stared at Tom with malice in its eyes.
"Enter Tom!"
Nia pointed her finger at Albert's bed, closing the door to leave Tom.
The fat cat charged faster and rushed towards Albert on the bed. He didn't know if it was because he was too fat or for other reasons, but he couldn't jump on it and almost hit the edge of the bed.
Shera, who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, made a cooing sound, as if mocking Tom.
"Stupid Tom!"
Nia bent over to pick up Tom and put it beside Albert's bed. Tom began to rub his tail against Albert's face, and soon woke the person on the bed.
"Don't make trouble with Tom." Albert said sleepily. When he opened his eyes, he saw Nia with her hands on her waist, looking down at herself with a stern face.
"Christmas present?"
"I thought you forgot!" the girl couldn't help complaining.
"How could I forget, and put your clothes on first, it will be bad if you catch a cold!"
Albert took a coat from the hanger, and when he put it on Nia's body, he raised his head and ruffled her hair. Under Nia's dissatisfied eyes, he opened a box and took out a Hand the woolen scarf to Nia.
"How many scarves did you buy?" Nia found that the style of the scarf was not bad, but there were several scarves in the box, which made him a little dissatisfied.
"Bought it for the whole family." Albert said with a smile, "Grandpa Luke and Grandma Shana have asked Shera to send it yesterday."
"Oh!"
Although it was a little different from what was expected, the girl's mood improved a lot after receiving the Christmas present.
"Don't fight or you'll be deprived of your snacks."
Albert turned his head to the two pets on the table ready to start.
Tom jumped off the table when he heard that he wanted to deduct snacks, and began to rub Albert's feet, begging for snacks, while Sheila stared at the fat cat with contempt, and made a cooing sound again.
"Okay, I'll give it to you later."
Albert bent down and picked up Tom, smiled and looked at Nia: "Have you prepared my Christmas present?"
"Of course." The girl raised her chest proudly. "I'll get it to you later."
"Go back and put on your clothes. If you catch a cold, it will be bad." Albert reached out to rub Nia's hair again, but was successfully avoided by the other party.
"No offense, don't mess with my hair."
Nia disappeared in a flash.
Albert was stunned when he got dressed and went downstairs to find a mountain of gifts piled next to the Christmas tree.
"Son, I just found out that you are so popular in school." Herb smiled and wrapped the scarf Albert just gave him, "I woke up this morning and found a bunch of them sent to you. Christmas present.”
"Hmm."
Albert responded casually, and he found a gift from Daisy and Herb in the package, a beautiful brown wool sweater and brown wool socks.
He took off his coat and gestured to put it on himself.
"Looks good."
Daisy said with satisfaction.
"It doesn't matter who picked the gift." Herb said proudly.
"You picked wool socks," Daisy reminded.
"You are my wife."
Heb was not embarrassed, kissed Daisy on the cheek, tied her scarf with a smile and said, "Albert picked a good scarf, I bet he bought the same style for our whole family. "
Albert ignored the couple who showed affection early in the morning and buried himself in unwrapping his Christmas present.
Grandpa Luke and Grandma Shanna gave him a copy of the latest edition of "The Economics" and his best-selling novel "French Man".
Isobel sent a pair of wool gloves.
Well, that's what they bought in Hogsmeade just before the Christmas holidays, and they both gave each other the same style of wool gloves.
Hermione gave Albert a box of sugar-free chocolates and a greeting card thanking Albert for his help.
Albert certainly knew what Hermione meant by help.
The Weasley twins gave Albert a book called "The Twelve Secrets of Fascinating Witches". This is undoubtedly for picking up girls. It is hard to say whether it will work or not. Can't find a girlfriend.
Lee Jordan's gift is cocoa flavored beans as always, and a big box of them won't last him how long.
Truman also sent the book.
In addition, he also received a bunch of greeting cards.
A gift from an old friend who basically kept in touch with the remaining books and notes, Albert was surprised to find that he also received a gift from Nicole Lemay, a double-sided mirror.
“Why does everyone like to send you books?”
Nia looked at the pile of books and notes, opened her mouth in surprise, and finally couldn't help but ask.
There is no way, in the opened package, the books can already be piled up into a hill.
Nia's eyes were very sharp, and she immediately noticed "The Twelve Magic Weapons for Fascinating Witches", and her face suddenly became very bad.
"Where's my gift?" Albert asked.
"Give!"
Nia saw the new gloves on Albert's hand, and handed over the gift a little unhappy. It was also a pair of gloves. Well, it's the same style as the pair on Nia's hand, and the color is brighter. light brown.
"I love it!" Albert took off the glove and put it back on himself.
Seeing this scene, Nia showed a satisfied smile. When she was thinking about how to destroy the book "The Twelve Magic Weapons of Fascinating Witches", she found that Herb was already reading the book. book.
"Was it useful?"
Daisy put the fried steak on the table and looked at Herb and asked.
"It's really interesting," Herb said with a smile. "However, I kind of suspect our son doesn't need this."
"Have you found a girlfriend yet?" Daisy asked bluntly. She thought that Albert should find a witch girlfriend.
Nia pursed her lips when she heard this, staring straight at Albert, waiting for his answer.
"I'm going to look again in two years." Albert said without hesitation.
"If you see something you like, start quickly, don't let anyone preempt it." Herb smiled and said, "If you don't have money, I'll give you an advance. There is also a good book, and you can read it when you have time. I think you should find one there. There are only so many wizards there. There are definitely not many to choose from. Remember to start with the first one if you like it. After all, you are so good, you will definitely be able to easily hook up with the other party. ."
Albert was at a loss for words. He didn't expect Herb and Daisy to have such an attitude. He had indeed hooked up with one.
Of course, he wasn't going to tell his family about it. If he admits to having a girlfriend, his home will probably explode in place. Herb and Daisy will definitely ask him for photos, or ask him to invite each other to play at home.
"Albert is so good, you don't need to worry about this kind of problem at all, and even if you can't find a suitable one, it's good to choose one from our side." Nia said angrily, "Also Yes, this kind of mess is best not to read ~IndoMTL.com~ will teach people bad."
Nia directly confiscated "The Twelve Magic Weapons of Fascinating Witches".
Hebo didn't care too much. He was very confident in his son. If he really wanted to find a girlfriend, it would definitely not be difficult. After all, he was so good, and there were a lot of people chasing him.
"In two days, I'm going to buy a bookshelf for you. Judging from your posture, it is estimated that there will not be enough bookshelves in your room before graduation." He looked at the books piled on the coffee table and said.
"Well, I do need to buy another one."
Albert was quite speechless when he sorted out the books. Although he said he really likes reading books, he felt helpless when he received a pile of books.
He didn't want to be like Dumbledore in the future: "People insisted on giving me books."
After unpacking a bunch of gifts, Albert's hand suddenly stopped, because he found that the sender of the package was actually Snape?
Snape actually gave himself a Christmas present. Is this a candy falling from the sky?
There are a lot of professors at Hogwarts who have a good relationship with Albert, and they also give him Christmas gifts. For example, Professor McGonagall gave Albert a book about the transformation of Animagus this year. notes.
But Albert never received a gift from Snape.
"Do you want to open it?"
Albert hesitated for a while, but finally gave up. He felt that there would be no good things in it. After all, he made Snape famous a few days ago, saying that the other party did not hold grudges, and Albert killed him Neither believe it.
In addition, there is a package without the sender, which is suspicious no matter how you look at it. Albert finally gave up on dismantling the two packages and went back to school to find other people to share the contents of the package.
