Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 890: Christmas gifts

"Back to school today?"

"Well, tomorrow is Christmas, I have to go back early."

Nia picked up the remote control on the table, randomly selected TV channels, and said absently, "You haven't forgotten to prepare a Christmas present for me, right? You know, I've been looking forward to it."

"It's ready for you." Albert reminded with a smile, "Don't you like it too?"

"Albums and dragons?" Nia suddenly realized, and then curled her lips and said, "So, those bottles of beauty potions brought by Isobel are actually Christmas gifts."

"You can think of it that way." Albert conveniently opened a package of dried fish for the cats at home. This was a Christmas gift he prepared for the cats: a large package of dried fish.

"I always feel that Christmas gifts should only be received on Christmas Day." Nia muttered.

"After Christmas, I should come back to stay for a while." Albert plans to spend more time with his family.

"It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time." After Nia finished speaking, she fell silent. If they went to the Far East, they would indeed not see each other for a long time.

"Don't worry, in a few years, when the UK is stable, you can still move back." Albert no longer remembers how many times he said it.

"I'm worried about you." Nia turned her head and said solemnly to Isobel, "My unreliable brother, please, don't let him mess around."

"I will keep an eye on him." Isobel smiled.

After greeting everyone in the afternoon, the two left back and forth, returning to their house in Hogsmeade.

"I really don't understand why you don't apparate directly with me." Isobel handed the house elf the shrimp dumplings in the box and food box, and said as he looked at Albert who had just entered the hall , "I remember that when a wizard becomes an adult, the traces on his body should have disappeared automatically."

"It's always right to be cautious, especially now that I'm very unpleasant, it's best not to be caught." Albert stepped forward to give Isobel a hug, and put his head into the other's ear and whispered, "Do you regret giving up on being my dance partner?"

"It's a bit of a pity." Isobel did not deny that being able to become Albert's dance partner and appear at the Christmas ball will undoubtedly attract the attention of countless people and become the most dazzling existence at the ball. Most girls cannot refuse Such a moment, and she can announce Albert's ownership to other girls, so that no one will think about him.

"However, I think your actions are very unfair to Katrina, I don't want to..."

"I can understand what you mean." Albert looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window and muttered, "After all, I also have a sister who is always worrying."

"Yes, my sister who is always worrying." Isobel said softly.

"How about, let's hold a little dance party tonight that belongs only to us. I can dance with you as long as you want." Albert gently stroked the girl's long hair.

"You are not afraid that I will drag you to dance all day, and you will be sore tomorrow that you will not be able to dance." Isobel covered her mouth and smiled lightly. She likes to lean on Albert's shoulder together Feel the snow.

"Then I can come to accompany you after the dance is over tomorrow night. Anyway, I can use the Time Converter." Albert really planned to do so, "It would be more sensible to hold the Christmas dinner on Christmas Day. "

"Well, you must pay attention to safety, even Nia has noticed that you are going to do something dangerous." Isobel said suddenly.

"I've always cared about my own life." Albert was slightly taken aback, but Isobel suddenly changed the subject.

"Yeah, you are very concerned and prepared, but I am still very worried, just like this Triwizard Tournament." Isobel murmured, "I always feel that you are involved again What trouble."

"Don't worry." Albert hugged Isobel tighter, and said to himself, "Finally, I have a beautiful wife and a wonderful life. Lose it all."

His life can be described as a perfect life that countless people envy and envy. If he lost his life for no reason, it would be a big loss.

"You said we lived the same life after we got married." Isobel asked with reddish cheeks.

"Probably...Actually, I don't really know." Albert thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we can live the life we ​​want, you can talk to Mrs. Perenelle and listen to them The story and life experience. I remember that your "Guide to the Ancient Runes" has been sent to the publishing house, do you want to write a biography about the Lemay couple."

"I always feel that you have been looking for something to do for me." Isobel looked into Albert's eyes seriously.

"People always have to find something to do for themselves to achieve their goals. It's not good to eat and die." I feel that I still have to find something to do so that my life will not be lost."

"Eating and waiting to die, if you do this, many people will bury their heads in the snow in shame." Isobel felt a little funny, Albert was the hardest person she had ever seen .

"Actually, I just think that when I was young, I had to work harder. When I was old, I could hug my wife comfortably," Albert put Isobel on his lap, "...enjoy slowly The life of growing old together is like this.”

"So, what you call old age is adulthood?"

"No, probably after the age of 30." In his previous life, Albert had a plan to start retirement at the age of 30, but it failed.

"Thirty years old is just the beginning of life for many people."

"After losing the Philosopher's Stone, the LeMays don't have much time. Sometimes I can chat with them more." Albert sighed. Although they have left many legends, I still hope Their legends are recorded by us, not by some guy who is just for money. I know Nicole doesn't really care, but even people like Dumbledore are actually very happy that they can appear in Chocolate Frog on the card.

"You are still so caring." Isobel agreed. After writing the "Guide to the Ancient Runes", she really hadn't decided what to do. She chatted with the Flamel couple through the double-sided mirror. Things are not bad, many old people have always liked to recall their past, she is actually very curious, how did they spend such a long life together, and still maintain such a relationship.

The house elf prepared a sumptuous dinner, and after the two finished eating, they sat on the sofa and listened to the wizard broadcast on the radio, chatting about the publication of "Guide to Ancient Runes" The duo published it under their names.

"Winter is actually very suitable for soaking in hot springs." Albert stretched his waist, stretched out his hand towards Isobel and said, "Why don't we go soak for a while?"

Isobel's cheeks were slightly red, and he nodded lightly: "Mmm..."

…

…

On the morning of Christmas, Albert woke up to a rustling sound. He opened his eyes to find three roommates unwrapping gifts by the bed.

"Good morning."

Fred and George had already put on their respective sweaters, which Mrs. Weasley had knitted, and the Weasley children had one every Christmas.

"Not good, I'm so sleepy." Albert didn't come back to sleep until five o'clock in the morning, and he was still sleepy.

"When did you come back?" The three pretended not to hear Albert's complaint, and asked with a smile.

"At five o'clock in the morning." Albert closed his eyes, turned over, and retracted his head into the quilt. He had just closed his eyes not long ago, and now he needs to continue to sleep in order to cope with tonight's dance .

"We thought you came here in the afternoon, by the way, how did you come in, I remember the password was changed."

"The house-elf helped open the door."

"By the way, where have you been these past few days, the girls are all looking for you?" Lee Jordan asked with a smile.

"Go home, stop talking nonsense."

"How did you go back?" George asked curiously.

"It's very simple. When a wizard becomes an adult, he will have no traces on his body. He can go wherever he wants by using Apparation directly, as long as the Ministry of Magic doesn't know about it." Albert said weakly: "Yes Now, don't gossip... and don't bother me, I'm going to lie down for a while... and help me feed the cat. Well, you can help me unpack the pile of packages beside the bed... go Take it elsewhere, anyway, don’t disturb my sleep.”

"I almost forgot, you're an adult, even if you use magic outside, the Ministry of Magic doesn't know about it." Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were a little envious, but they didn't know what they were doing. Are you envious of Albert's proficiency in Apparation, or the huge pile of Christmas presents beside Albert's bed, and there are still a few traces of being trampled on them.

After the three exchanged glances, Fred prepared breakfast for Tom in a tacit understanding, George helped pack the presents by the bed and put them into several large boxes, and Lee Jordan took out the metal book from his schoolbag , unfolded in the dormitory, and then the three of them carried Albert's pile of presents into the activity room of the Wizard Card Club and slowly unwrapped them.

It is always their pleasure to help Albert unpack the packages every Christmas.

In fact, the three of them spent most of the morning unpacking in the activity room. When they were hungry, they took some snacks from it. Anyway, Albert didn't mind someone unpacking for him at all and never Mind if someone takes his food.

The three of them all knew about some important packages, and the house elves would help him to keep an eye on them and put them away separately, so they wouldn't appear in this pile of packages at all.

"The number of Christmas gifts that Albert received this year is really amazing." Fred couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

If you count the greeting cards, there are a total of 138 pieces.

"It should be related to the warrior. Most of the girls in the school gave him presents." George stuffed the opened books into the bookcase one by one,

"You guys also posted a photo of a girl you didn't know by accident, who seemed to be wearing a Fengya brand wizard costume, and took out a photo of Albert's dragon costume for publicity, which made him a lot of popularity." Lee Jordan shook his hand greeting card.

This pile of large and small Christmas gifts, only some of them were given by Albert's old acquaintances. More than half of them were sent by the girls in the school. Except for the Christmas cards, there were a lot of snacks and desserts inside. After the packages of a few acquaintances were picked out, the rest were piled aside. There were thirty-one boxes of desserts. The numbers are a bit staggering.

"If the girls know that the gifts they gave to Albert have been opened by us, they will probably want to strangle us to death." Lee Jordan looked at the box of snacks in front of him and raised his eyebrows. "However, why would they think of sending snacks and desserts to Albert?".

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch that thing. God knows if there is a love potion in it." George reminded quickly when he saw Lee Jordan was about to open the packaging bag.

"I remember that Albert has the antidote for the love potion. If I take a love potion later, remember to drink it for me." Lee Jordan began to deliver the desserts sent by the girls,

"Do you want to sell some high-end love potions after we open the store?" Fred said suddenly, "Love potions seem to be very popular with girls."

"Can you make it?" Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows.

"No, but I think George will definitely. His potion grades have always been good." Fred threw the question to George.

"Are there any records in Albert's potion notes?" George glanced at the two of them and said, "You must have never read it. His notes are more reliable than those potion books. As long as you follow the steps step by step, you can usually get it right." Easily and successfully configure the potion."

"I'll leave it to you when the time comes." Fred patted George on the shoulder with an expression that I liked you very much.

"By the way, how do you deal with these things?"

"How about we take it to the common room and share it with others." Fred said solemnly, "After all, today is Christmas, and there are good things to share with everyone."

"I think it's a good idea." George smiled and echoed, "Ebert prepared a lot of antidote for the love potion last time, but he hasn't used it yet."

"Do you want to call Albert, after all, this is his Christmas present, I think he will definitely be interested in this kind of thing."

The three of them are very clear that most of the snacks and desserts sent by the girls will be treated as "suspicious" items.

It would be a pity to throw it away like this. "

"I think I can anonymously send a copy to all three of Montague." Lee Jordan suggested.

"There's Ludo Bagman, too." Fred didn't forget that Ludo Bagman gave them fake gold coins, "in the name of female fans."

"Will that guy believe it?" Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows.

"You can ask him for a copy of his autograph, say it's for your son." Fred said with a smirk on his face.

"Ludo Bagman hasn't been a Quidditch player for years ~IndoMTL.com~George pointed out the flaws in the period, "You can point out that her son is a Krum fan and wants a copy of his Signed a photo with Klum. By the way, those fake Galleons from last time should still be there, put five in it, and say that after receiving the letter, I will give another ten Galleons. "

"Did the guy write back?"

"Yes." Lee Jordan thought it was a good idea, "That guy Bagman owes a lot of money now, and he will probably fall for it. If he is lucky, maybe he will miss the Christmas ball tonight."

"Then I'll share it with you another day. Remember to bring Albert along." Fred finalized the treatment method for these desserts that were suspected of being mixed with love potion.

"I think I should also send a copy to Filch."

"And Snape."

"Never mind Snape, that guy is a Potions professor, it's definitely not easy to be recruited, and once the news spreads, he will definitely trouble us, it's not worth the candle." George vetoed it and sent Snape Bad idea for a package. If it was sent to Snape, they wouldn't be able to share it with everyone, and it would be a lot less fun. 12568/9750871
