Chapter 39 The world of magic

The next morning.

Aaron opened his eyes. There were a dozen packages of various sizes lying on the corner of his bed, which should be his Christmas gifts this year.

First he opened his parents' gifts, and the results were just as he expected.

A postcard of a sunrise they saw while sailing on the sea.

"Dear son, isn't it beautiful? We originally planned to take a picture of you with a sky full of stars.

But I think it must be in the morning when you open the gift, so I give you a sunrise, may you always be full of vigor. "

——Vico.

"Tsk! It's like this again." Aaron shook his head and put the postcard away.

Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy gift!

The people who know Aaron's family situation best are his parents. Knowing that he lacks everything, they simply send him such a commemorative gift.

The second package was from Gaius.

Aaron picked up a piece of paper from the gift box and smiled with satisfaction.

It can only be said that the butler is indeed a butler, and he directly sent him the income report of the store he opened in Diagon Alley in recent months.

In addition, there is also a dragon illustrated book, which records the varieties, characteristics, and gathering places of all dragons known in the magic world. It is probably prepared for Abe. After all, he is a dragon of noble blood and knows that he It is still necessary to have some 'distant relatives'.

The third package was from his uncle.

Inside the package was a pure white unicorn feather, the same material used to make wands.

Except for these close people, the rest of the things were given by some of his relatives. They were all kinds of strange, but they were much more practical than the first three.

Some people brought daggers, some people brought clothes, some people brought musical instruments, some people brought a funny mirror...

Someone also sent a gift bag of snacks. As soon as he took it out, a white figure put his face into it.

Aaron picked up Abe in disgust, then pushed the gift bag in front of him, and rubbed his head several times.

There was another item given by Hermione, which was a dental kit, including a tooth cup, toothbrush, and toothpaste.

This made Aaron a little dumbfounded. His teeth were definitely quite healthy, but they were better than nothing.

...

hall.

Students and professors who stayed on campus gathered here for the Christmas banquet.

The food on this festival is extremely rich, and everyone enjoys it very happily.

Aaron placed Abe on the dining table, then picked up a gift box and walked to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, this is for you."

"Mine?" Professor McGonagall pointed to herself, a little flattered, "Christmas gift."

"So be it!"

Professor McGonagall opened the box excitedly, glanced at it briefly, and then closed it instantly.

"Aaron, I admit that I like this gift very much, very much.

But I really can't have it, it's too precious. "

"Professor, you misunderstood, I didn't say I would give it to you.

I just borrowed it from you, but you have to return it to me before the holiday. Aaron said seriously.

"Really?" Professor McGonagall was a little moved, and then quickly picked up the box in her arms, "Then I will accept it. This is the best gift I have received in recent years."

"As long as you like it." Aaron smiled.

"Ahem!" Snape said coldly, "Some people seem to have forgotten that he is a Slytherin student."

"Oh! Yes, this is yours, Professor Snape." Aaron took out a bottle from his pocket, "This contains the body fluid of a magical creature, and I spent a lot of money to get it.

Of course it may be useful, or it may be of no use at all.

Specifically, it depends on how you, the potion master, deal with it. "

While Aaron was explaining, Abe, who was feasting on a turkey at the dinner table, suddenly froze for a moment, then sniffed the air with his nose.

It turned its head and glanced at the teacher's desk, its cute little face looked a little weird, and then continued to cook.

Snape did not shy away from suspicion and directly took the bottle from Aaron's hand, brought it to his nose and smelled it slightly, then his expression changed slightly, "Aaron, what kind of magical creature is this.

This material is... unique, I really haven't seen it before.

Or maybe I’ve seen it, but I’ve forgotten it.

But no matter which one it is, it can show that this kind of magical creature is particularly rare. "

"Um... I can't tell you this," Aaron said seriously. Everyone has their own secrets, and he definitely couldn't tell Snape that the bottle contained Abe's saliva.

"Mysterious," Snape said, and put the bottle into his pocket.

"Aaron, do you have a gift from me?" Professor Flitwick asked sheepishly, "Of course if not, just pretend I didn't ask."

"We still have this." Aaron took out a brush and handed it over.

"This..." Professor Flitwick became increasingly embarrassed, "If I'm not mistaken, the material of this pen tip is unicorn feathers!"

"Yes, I hope you like it."

"I love it so much."

"Gai...Mr. Gaius, maybe I shouldn't...ask this.

But, the gift, is it mine? "

Aaron glanced at Quirrell, who was sitting in the teacher's chair and spoke awkwardly, and showed an awkward but polite smile, "Sorry, Professor, I can't use the family's property while I'm in school.

I got all the gifts from Professor Snape and others through personal channels, plus other gifts for other friends, I have almost spent all my money, so..."

"It doesn't matter, I understand." Quirrell covered his mouth and said, showing a little grievance.

"I'm very sorry, Professor, I didn't think carefully about this.

Otherwise, I will prepare another gift for you next Christmas. "Aaron comforted him apologetically, but what he was thinking about was that this school year is over and you're done with it. Burning a few pieces of paper for you next Christmas would be more than enough.

After walking down from the teacher's chair, Aaron returned to his seat and began to enjoy the banquet.

After a while, Harry and Ron came over. They were wearing the same sweaters as Percy, Fred and George.

"You are indeed good friends, you all have the same taste in clothes!" Aaron joked, "You look quite warm."

Harry smiled awkwardly. This was the second best gift he had ever received in his life. The first was a package sent to him by a stranger this morning. Inside was his father's relic, an invisibility cloak. .

"That's right!" Ron said proudly, "My mother made this by herself. We all receive such gifts every Christmas, but this year there is more Harry.

By the way, Harry also received a special gift, do you know what it is? "

"Ron!" Harry glared at him.

"Sorry, this gift of his is rather precious and I don't want too many people to know about it."

Aaron raised his eyebrows. If Harry hadn't stopped Ron in time, he would have made it known to everyone soon.

"Well...Aaron, Merry Christmas."

"Well! Merry Christmas." Aaron looked at Harry, "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly! I'm worried for you."

"All right!

First of all, thank you for the gift you gave me. I like those pictures very much. "

"Yes." Ron immediately interjected, "That is the most affordable gift I have ever received in my life, a gold Galleons, a silver Sickle, and a copper Knut.

But why do you want to send me money? "

"Because that's probably what you want and what you desperately need, and Harry isn't very short of money."

"That makes sense!" Ron nodded with deep approval.

"Ahem!" Harry coughed lightly, then glanced at the teacher's desk without any trace, and found that no one was paying attention before he said, "Then I have one thing to ask you. I want to go to the forbidden book area to find the relevant information." Clues to Flamel, so..."

"Poof!" Aaron almost spit out the half-eaten food. He looked at Harry in shock, "No! You haven't given up yet?"

Again, it is impossible for me to help you in this regard.

The restricted book area is not accessible to first grade students. "

"But why can you go?" Ron said a little unconvinced, "Harry and I saw you in the library before, and Ms. Pince put you in the restricted book area. Could it be that you are not a first-year student? student?"

Aaron turned his head, looked at Ron meaningfully, and then patted his shoulder, "Ron, people are different.

As you know, our dean is very optimistic about me, and it only takes a matter of minutes to get an approval note. "

Harry's mouth twitched and he smiled bitterly: "But Aaron, this matter is really important, I..."

"Stop it, no matter how important it is, it has nothing to do with me." Aaron said seriously, "I can give you some help in some aspects, but absolutely not in some aspects.

Again, it's a little too early for you to enter the restricted area. "
