Chapter 56 Christmas Banquet

The first thing Wright saw when he woke up the next morning was a small pile of packages at the foot of his bed. Last Christmas, Wright was not very close to the students at the school, and only some of his close friends would give gifts to each other. This year there are many more gift boxes at the foot of Wright's bed than last year.

Wright lifted up the quilt and walked out of bed with bare feet, stepped on the thick soft blanket by the window, and then began to look at this year's Christmas gifts.

The top paper package was wrapped in a thick layer of kraft paper, with the two characters "Hagrid" written on it in flying fonts. Wright opened the brown paper and found several thick-looking cookies inside. After reaching out and squeezing it, and weighing it again, Wright immediately decided to give these biscuits to Lu Wei Moya. If nothing else, these biscuits should be the legendary rock biscuits. As for Wright's small teeth, it is better not to challenge this kind of food rashly.

Putting Hagrid's rock biscuits aside, Wright picked up the second, more exquisite-looking box. After opening it, there was a pile of strange-looking chocolates inside, and a note was attached:

This is the chocolate I personally made for you, be sure to finish it! Chang Chuliu.

At the end of the note, there was a simple drawing of a smiling little girl with twin tails. Wright could vaguely recognize that it was Chang Chu's recent new look.

"But these chocolates in the box," Wright picked up a relatively large piece of chocolate from the box and stared at it carefully for a long time, "Chang Chu bought the chocolate himself, then melted it and then cooled it down. product?"

Later, Wright also received an "Advanced Transfiguration Guide" from Senior Penello, Eddie sent a beautiful quill pen, Roger sent a "Broomstick Encyclopedia", and others. Some friends also sent their own gifts.

But what surprised Wright the most was that Hermione actually sent her a Christmas gift of horseshoe-shaped chocolates, not one box, but two boxes. On the second box it was written: Please help transfer this box to Senior Sister Chang Chu.

"Do you always ask someone to help you deliver gifts these days?" Wright put the lid on the chocolate in a strange way. To be honest, he was really puzzled by Hermione's weird behavior. "Do you think this is a girl?" A new trend that’s only popular this year?”

There was only one paper package left, which looked roughly in the shape of a book, but it could not be ruled out that it was a flat box. Wright picked up the paper package. The slender handwriting on the note stuck on the paper package was very familiar to him. It was Dumbledore's handwriting: "Power is a beautiful and terrible thing, and it needs to be treated with extreme caution."

strength? Could it be some high-level magic forbidden book? Or maybe it was Dumbledore's own research notes?

Wright tore open the paper package with great anticipation, only to find that inside was just a copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard."

"..." Wright read the book from beginning to end speechlessly, and found that this book is really just a very ordinary collection of children's stories from the wizarding world. You can buy one in any bookstore. Big piles of them. The only unusual thing is that this book is really new, so new that it seems like Dumbledore just bought it yesterday.

"The Wizard and the Hopping Cauldron, the Fountain of Good Luck, the Wizard's Hairy Heart... and the legend of the Three Brothers." Wright looked through the table of contents of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". "Dumbledore gave this book to Do I have any deep meaning? Or is it just a joke? Or is it just a reminder that I should read more of these children's stories as a child?"

It's not that Wright thinks too much, but that he has to take it seriously, especially since Dumbledore always acted like "there are some secrets hidden in my words/actions waiting for you to discover."

But this is really just an ordinary children’s storybook! After Wright put the book through several magic tests, he still couldn't find anything.

Depressedly, Wright threw the book on the bed. After tidying up the room, Wright walked straight out of the dormitory and headed towards the auditorium on the first floor to attend the upcoming Christmas banquet. He only hoped that this year's Christmas banquet would not be like The nagging Professor Trelawney appeared just like last year.

As soon as he got down to the fourth floor, Wright saw four Weasley brothers and five Harrys pushing each other.

Each of them was wearing a sweater of the same style, Harry's was a bright green one, Ron was a dark purple one, Fred and George were both wearing blue, and Percy was wearing a sweater. He was wearing a black one. Each sweater has their initials in large, yellow letters on the front.

"Merry Christmas, everyone!" Wright greeted them with a smile.

"Merry Christmas," Percy, Ron and Harry responded to Wright.

Fred and George walked over directly and put their arms around Wright's shoulders, allowing their third brother Percy to finally free his arms from the shackles of the sweater.

"Wright, it's really nice to see you here," Fred said.

"Have you finally come out of Professor McGonagall's confinement room?" Wright asked.

"Of course, don't look at what day it is!" George said exaggeratedly, "Today is Christmas! God will not tolerate it if we are locked up in a solitary room on such a day!"

A group of people walked into the auditorium while talking and laughing, and the dining table in the auditorium was already filled with food: a hundred fat roast turkeys, a mountain of barbecued meats and boiled potatoes, a Large plates of delicious little sausages, bowls of buttered peas, plates of thick and thick meat marinade and lingonberry sauce... all of these foods were handled by the house elves using the magic of keeping warm. , so that people will not have to eat anything but cold food when they come.

After walking a few steps along the dining table, you can see a large number of wizard packets and firecrackers neatly placed on the table. These wonderful colorful firecrackers are not like the shabby firecrackers that ordinary people can buy, and the ones inside are not worthless small plastic toys and flimsy paper hats.

Wright walked over and opened a firecracker. The firecracker immediately made a deafening explosion, and then a black smoke rose from the firecracker. At the same time, an exquisite gentleman's bowler hat and several flapping wings exploded. The white dove flies away.

Wright put the round hat on his head with a smile, and then transformed his wizard robe into a well-tailored black dress, and then sat directly at the long table to enjoy this year's Christmas banquet Come.
