Chapter 052
Continuing to open the gifts, Ives was surprised to find that Mrs. Weasley also gave him one.
When he opened it, he found a black knitted sweater with a big yellow letter E embroidered on the front. There was also a letter in the gift box.
At a cursory glance, most of what was written on it were words of thanks from the Weasleys to Ivis. If he hadn’t discovered that Scabbers was Peter Pettigrew, their family might not have known that they had been living with a dark wizard for ten years.
It seems that next Christmas he will also give gifts to the Weasleys. Ives writes down all the people who gave him gifts in a small book so that he can return gifts in the future.
What Neville gave was a memory ball.
A memory ball is a small transparent ball filled with some kind of gas. After you pinch it hard, if it remains the same, it proves that you have not forgotten anything; if it suddenly turns red and shiny, it proves that you have forgotten something.. However, users often cannot remember what they have forgotten.
The gift Ives gave him was a gift package of herbal medicine books, including”Encyclopedia of Toadstools”》、《Encyclopedia of Ingredients》、《Miraculous aquatic plants of the Mediterranean and their properties” and more. Neville is very talented in herbal medicine and has been praised many times by Professor Sprout this semester.
Hannah gave him a set of broomstick maintenance tools, and Ives bought a looking glass from Diagon Alley as a gift in return. The Looking Glass can detect unreliable presences and dark forces around it, and then emit warning sounds, spin and glow to alert its owner.
Ives also gave Dumbledore a dozen thick woolen socks. He remembered clearly that in the original book, the principal once said in front of the Mirror of Erised that he was short of woolen socks in winter.
He didn’t expect Dumbledore’s return gift, he just hoped that he could get closer to him so that Dumbledore would be merciful when he violated school rules in the future.
The last gift was given to him by Hermione – a sky blue scarf.
It looked like the girl had knitted it herself, with some threads hanging out randomly.
No wonder Hermione was a little listless for a while. She probably stayed up late knitting secretly in her dormitory every night after returning from the Room of Requirement.
Fortunately, Ives’s gift was equally thoughtful. He customized a snow globe in Diagon Alley. The decorations in the snow globe are Hogwarts Castle and a girl making a snowman. The girl uses the image of Hermione.
When Ives was about to change clothes and go downstairs to eat, a ball of flame suddenly appeared in his room.
Fox materialized in his room with a package.
After dropping off the package, Fox left, looking like he was busy today.
Inside the package was a Transfiguration Notebook.
It can’t be Dumbledore’s notes, Ives thought in surprise.
Turning to the first page, it was indeed signed by Dumbledore, and there were four cursive letters below his name.”GG·AD”
Elvis shuddered, he…could he be silenced?
Shaking his head to get rid of this strange thought, he made up his mind to keep this matter in his stomach forever.
Ives found a safe place and carefully put away Dumbledore’s notes.
When he walked into the living room after washing and changing clothes, Ives was surprised to find that t
he Granger family was also there.
Hermione was being pulled by his mother and didn’t know what they were talking about, her little face turned red.
Rosente joked:”Why did you get up so late? Hermione got up early.” Ives turned around and poured himself a glass of water and whispered:”The bed at home is so comfortable.”
Rosente and Yiwei Reese obviously heard what he said and smiled.
……
Happy times are always short-lived, and during the Christmas holidays, Ives completely forgot about his studies.
Skiing, watching movies, visiting amusement parks…
Ives enjoys spending time with his family, and the Grangers sometimes travel with them.
Soon it will be time to go back to school.
Elvis and Hermione boarded the Hogwarts Express and found an unoccupied carriage at the rear of the train.
As soon as they sat down, Ron and Harry came in.
After the four of them greeted each other, Harry excitedly shared every detail of his stay at the Burrow,”The food cooked by Mrs. Weasley is so delicious. Every afternoon I ride a broomstick with Ron and the others.” Flying on the grass……”
Ivis and Hermione listened with interest. Life in a wizarding family was new to them.
After talking for dozens of minutes, Harry stopped to take a sip of water, and then said:”By the way, Ives, Mr. Weasley said you are welcome to be their guest.””
“Okay,” Ives said with a smile,”Ron, please thank your parents for me. Ron agreed, and then asked:”Avis, where is Scabbers? The veterinarian at the Magic Zoo said so?””
“Um,” this question stumped him immediately. How could he have taken Banban to the vet?
“Ron, listen to me,” Ives explained what happened.
Harry and Ron opened their mouths in surprise.
“You, you said Scabbers is actually an illegal Animagus?”Ron was so surprised that his eyeballs almost fell out. He recalled the past of getting along with Scabbers, especially when he would put Scabbers next to his pillow to sleep together almost every day.
Ron never accepted that Scabbers was actually a dark wizard. He is still an old man!
If Banban was a witch, he would have endured it
“Ives,” Harry’s lips trembled,”Peter Pettigrew is the one who betrayed my parents?”
“Yes,” Ives couldn’t bear to look at him. He knew how much this happened to Harry.
Harry was desperate. He knew that his parents were killed by Voldemort, but he didn’t know that it was because of their It was only because of the betrayal of his friend Peter Pettigrew that the Potters’ safe house was found by Voldemort.
This was the first time he knew the ins and outs of this incident.
Harry’s eyes were full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said:”Then, Where is that damn traitor now?”
“We have captured him and handed him over to the Ministry of Magic,” Ives said seriously.”He will get the justice he deserves, I promise.”
Harry took a long breath and slumped down in the chair.
Ron no longer thought about Scabbers and hurriedly comforted his best friend.
“You should think of happy things,” Hermione said suddenly.”If the Inquisition reopens the entire case, Sirius Black will be acquitted.”
“Sirius Black?” Harry repeated doubtfully.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard of it,” Ives added,”but he’s actually your godfather.”
“godfather? Harry put on an excited expression,”In other words, he is my real guardian?” Ives nodded slightly,”
Yes.””
