Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 26: Maca’s gift delivery
Different from the warmth of the small Christmas party at Lovegood's house, there is only one word to describe the Christmas party at Hogwarts, and that is-magnificent!
Exactly one hundred greasy roasted turkeys, hills of charcoal roast beef and salt-boiled potatoes, large plates of delicious small sausages, bowls of green peas mixed with butter, and a plate of thick Thick and fragrant gravy and cranberry sauce, the hearty dishes are mouth-watering.
Every few steps along the dining table, there are piles of wizard colored firecrackers waiting for you. These wonderful colorful firecrackers are not like the shabby ordinary firecrackers that Muggle families usually buy-there are only a few small plastic toys and very shaky paper hats inside.
Harry and Fred smoked a colorful firecracker together. Instead of a muffled bang, it made an explosion like a cannon bombing, engulfing them in a blue smoke, and at the same time A rear admiral's hat and a few lively mice were exploded from it.
Dumbledore on the main guest seat put on a lace millinery that he got it from nowhere, decorated with a bunch of brightly colored flowers. He was immersed in Professor Flitwick's little joke right now, and he was laughing cheerfully!
After the main meal, it was a red-flaming Christmas pudding, and occasionally someone would eat some crescent-shaped silver flakes in it. Percy won the prize-he almost broke his neat front teeth.
"Albus, look at those Christmas trees. These are the little presents Mr. McLean left us before leaving." Professor McGonagall patted Dumbledore on the elbow, and she giggled. The usual stern look has long gone.
"Oh, yes, what a nice kid." Dumbledore nodded happily as he looked at the festive Christmas trees.
Professor Flitwick also echoed Professor McGonagall’s words and showed Dumbledore the same small decorations made by Maca. Obviously he was quite satisfied with Maca, an excellent student.
Snape, who was sitting at the very side, remained cold and indifferent on the day when everyone was celebrating. He looked at those white mist-shrouded Christmas trees, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Just when everyone was in high spirits, owls flew in from outside the auditorium with various packages, scattered in all directions.
"What's wrong?"
Even the professors didn't figure out why the owl would fly in at this time. Only Dumbledore smiled and looked at the scene in front of him, with a relieved look on his face.
It didn’t take long for everyone who received the package to understand that this is a Christmas gift from Maca McLean.
"When did he learn this trick of the Weasley brothers?" Snape said coldly, but didn't want a small package to fall right in front of him.
Snape frowned, and tore open the sealed package, but looked at the contents in a dreadful thought-it was a bottle of blessing potion.
Every successful preparation of Fu Ling agent usually only produces as little as a little finger. The preparation process is extremely complicated, and its average preparation often takes half a year.
Maca got a lot of inspiration from the discussion with Snape and shortened the preparation time to two months, but the price was a sharp drop in the effect.
This Christmas, Maca spent a lot of Jin Jialong and bought this full-effect elixir from a partner as a Christmas gift to Snape. This is Maca sincerely thanking Snape for his tireless guidance.
The gift Maca prepared for Luna took the longest time; Snape’s gift was undoubtedly the most expensive one.
Snape pulled out the cork, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then silently plugged the cork back.
"Severus, am I right?" Dumbledore said to Snape with a smile.
Snape twitched his mouth and replied blankly, "It's just going to cost money."
Not to mention the situation on the main guest seat, the students below have also received gifts from Maca.
Take Hermione, for example. She is smiling and holding a cartoon lion puppet in her arms, reading a small note left by Maca-this puppet contains sleeping flower seeds. It can improve the quality of sleep, and you must know how to rest while studying hard.
Ron got a set of the latest set of wizard chess-this is Maca’s practice of transfiguration. Unlike ordinary wizard chess, this set of wizard chess is a set of powerful magical creatures and A board game in which various wizards play against each other looks pretty cool.
But Harry discovered that the gift he got seemed to be the strangest of the three of them!
"What's this? Brain-closed-surgery?" Harry looked at a notebook that had been taken out of the package, and read the words on the cover word by word.
"Occlumency?" Hermione curiously asked, "What is that?"
Harry flipped through the contents, only to find that this was actually a note from a Maca handwritten book. The theory contained in it was quite complicated, and he was a little dizzy.
"Let me see," Hermione snatched it over, looking through it carefully.
While Hermione lowered her head to study the notebook, Ron and Harry were coming and going to guess.
"Maca wants you to learn this... brain... secretion, right?" Ron said, "What is it for?"
Harry shook his head. How did he know what it was for? It seems that I have never heard of it.
"Will you learn, then?" Ron said again, "Maca lets you learn, that should be correct."
It seems that Maca’s previous guess is correct, and Ron will never be angry with him for more than three days.
"Well, first figure out what it is?" Harry said, looking at Hermione again with Ron.
After a while, Hermione raised her head and spoke a little puzzled.
"According to what Maca described on the previous pages, this kind of magic called'Occlumency' is a defensive magic used to resist the penetration of foreign spirits and prevent others from reading the user's thoughts." Hermione said, "The above said that it has a very strong resistance to a spell called'Desperate Mind'."
"But what's the use of this? Does anyone want to read my mind?" Harry asked in confusion.
"Who knows? I'm afraid I can only ask Maca himself." Hermione was also puzzled.
Only Ron didn’t take this seriously. He smiled and said: "Maca said that if you let you learn, then learn, he will never be wrong."
Just as the Gryffindor trio was talking about it, a student on the Slytherin table not far away received a gift from Maca.
"Blois the nerd actually has a share? What's the situation?" The snakes were talking about it, but no one wanted to talk to her.
It was the mysterious girl who had a very low sense of presence in school—Villie Blois who received the gift.
Villy unpacked the package without expression, took out the present inside and laid it flat on the table. What she got was also a notebook, and it was thicker, bigger, and stronger.
She opened the memo, which recorded the history, ecological distribution, cultivation methods and application value of a plant in a neat and concise style. Obviously, Maca also took a lot of thoughts on this gift-he took a copy of his note and gave it to Wei Li.
There are more than half of the vacancies behind this notebook. Obviously, Wei Li, who is not good at summarizing, can continue to record in this format.
Vellie carefully stroked the cover of this memo. Although there was still no emotion on her face, it was enough to make people understand that she really loved this thoughtful gift.
"Thank you." Wei Li's voice was so low that she might not even be able to hear it, but this was still the first time she had said a word of thanks, but it was a pity that Maca had never heard of it.
There are too many confusing things in this girl who is full of mysteries. Feelings are scarce enough to be scary, words are scarce enough to make people confusing, and her appearance is so delicate that she has an inhuman illusion. All the signs indicate that there are too many secrets hidden in her, but no one knows the truth.
And this is probably why Maca is interested in her.
Now ~IndoMTL.com~ This mysterious girl shows a gap in her emotional expression for the first time, but Maca is still in the faraway Lovegood home.
This has to be said to be a pity.
When everyone turned their attention back to the table again, everything just faded away and melted into the Christmas atmosphere that was once again hot.
It wasn't until after everyone had a crazy afternoon of fun after the meal that the seemingly calm but undercurrent night would come.
This is the most exciting Christmas in Harry's life. But the thing that lingered in his mind all the time, the thing that was so long that it disappeared did not reappear after he lay on the bed.
He was thinking about that mysterious Christmas gift early today—the invisibility cloak, and the unknown person who gave him the invisibility cloak.
Sending Christmas gifts at banquets like Maca is only a special case. Generally speaking, you will always find them from the fireplace or by the bed when you wake up on Christmas Day.
Harry didn't expect to receive gifts this morning, but when he woke up, he found that the Christmas gifts he received were quite rich. And the most surprising of them was an invisibility cloak given to him by an unsigned person.
there is a note in it that reads: Your father left this thing to me before he died, and it should be returned to you now. Use it well, and sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas.
The beautiful squiggles looked pleasing to the eye, but the content kept Harry entangled almost all day.
At this time, Ron's belly was stuffed with turkey and cake, and nothing strange was bothering him, so he fell asleep almost as soon as he put down the curtains of the bed. This speed of falling asleep made Harry a little jealous.
Harry tossed on the bed, leaning out of the bed after all, pulling out the invisibility cloak under the bed.
