Chapter 170 Christmas Presents
·
Qing Mo Da Xian
No classes on Monday and Tuesday after a great weekend.
Because Christmas Eve is on Wednesday, which is today.
Early in the morning, the dormitory of the Fourth Courtyard was full of owls.
Vincent received a lot of presents, big and small piled up the whole bed.
"Hey~ buddy~"
The visiting twins are all wearing new sweaters.
Fred had an "F" and George a "G."
"Do you know what Percy's is?"
"P?"
"Yes, but the P of the prefect 'Prefect'."
Only the twins can figure out such a loss of reading comprehension.
"Guess again about Ron."
"R?"
"No, no, no—" Fred shook his head in a long voice.
George wiped the letters on the sweater with a smirk, "He doesn't have anything, maybe mom forgot his name."
Vincent had long been used to the way the Weasley brothers got along.
Big brothers Bill and Charlie don't know it, but Percy, Fred and George, and Ron are all constantly hurting each other.
"He hates burgundy the most, so my mother knitted him a burgundy one."
The twins were still talking vividly about how they put Percy on a sweater just now, and he had already picked up a beautifully wrapped gift box.
This box is very small, not as big as Gu Gu Gu before being fat.
"Merlin's big pants!"
Hearing this exclamation, the two people leaned their little heads over.
"Guliu—" George hurriedly turned his head to look at the other three people in the dormitory.
Fred cautiously pointed to the small note inside.
Vincent took the note and closed the box.
[Dear Vincent:
It should be given to Nico by you, please be sure to protect it properly.
By the way, please come to my office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
Passwords are your favorite candy.
Hope you can find the Christmas gift that is truly yours.
—Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. ]
At the bottom of the note, there is a small paw mark.
Judging from the shape and size, it should be Fox's special anti-counterfeiting mark.
The twins glanced over curiously, and suddenly the note started to burn from underneath.
Vincent let go, and it turned to ashes in the air.
"Er—we didn't mean to."
"It's okay, I'm done." He put the small box next to the pillow.
George seemed to have something to say, but Fred changed the subject.
"Wow! What's in this big box?"
The box with a wooden structure is extremely strong and requires nearly twenty owls to carry it.
Needless to say, this must have been sent by the Wayne couple who were on vacation in Eastern Europe.
"Don't open it." Vincent picked up a large box from the pile of presents.
""Hogwarts School Rules and Regulations"?" He hastily threw the tome to the twins.
"Hey, Hermione gave it to you!"
"I think you need it more than I do."
Neville, who was unwrapping presents in the next bed, let out a sudden exclamation.
He received a brand new tactical dagger with a "?" signature on the note inside.
"Thank you, Vincent."
"Remember not to lose it."
"I will not."
Fred and George then remembered the gift Vincent gave them.
A summarized alchemy notebook, as well as some Muggle magic props.
Both gifts are future uses for the twins who dream of opening a store dedicated to mischief.
It's like giving Harry and Ron a set of non-magic and magic Gwent cards respectively.
He gave gifts that were urgently needed and would come in handy in the future.
"I'm curious what you gave Hermione." Fred opened the "Hogwarts School Rules".
There is a handwritten text on the title page.
From the handsome handwriting, George was sure she had written it herself.
"What do you think I will give?" Vincent opened the gift from Harry.
Fred read this sentence directly,
"Mr. Lucky, please keep in mind that you are not always favored by Merlin."
George chuckled, "Miss Know-it-all seems to agree with you~"
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint her."
Vincent held a handful of Galleons in his hands, "Harry is too straightforward."
He wasn't the only one who received such gifts, almost everyone received gold galleons.
"When I have money in the future, I'll just give it away like this."
Rather than racking your brains to choose a gift, it would be more practical to have some Galleons.
"Oh, it's from Professor McGonagall!"
Vincent solemnly collected this old Transfiguration textbook with a sense of age.
In addition to McGonagall's notes on it when he was studying, there are also some more esoteric ones, such as Dumbledore's tips.
"Cuckoo——" the chubby Cuckoo flew in with a piece of parchment in his mouth.
This is a paper, a paper with "?" in the name column.
Its original big "T" has been erased, but there is an extremely inconspicuous "O" underneath.
"Snape's Christmas present?"
"It must be him!"
Vincent chuckled, "Haven't you guys thought about giving him a Christmas present?"
"Then I'll send you a smoke bomb."
"I'll give you bubble beans."
He shook his head and smiled wryly, "At least I sent a box of Muggle shampoo, so you should send something useful too, right?"
"White robe?"
"Scissors?"
Snape's expression must have been wonderful when he received it.
It's a pity that they didn't have the chance to witness it with their own eyes.
"Who gave this biscuit?"
Just as Fred was about to reach out to taste it, Gugu stood in front of him.
"It's autumn." Vincent opened a gift box with a black swan printed on it.
What Draco sent should not be a good thing.Fun Court
Sure enough, the moment it was just opened, something jumped out of it.
He had been prepared for a long time and turned his head to avoid the pool of black liquid shooting towards the front door.
"Eye for an Eye?"
"A tooth for a tooth?"
Vincent opened the next larger one, "I've expected it, so as long as he dares to open it, he will definitely be tricked."
The twins suppressed their curiosity and watched as he took out flower pots that hadn't sprouted from the box,
"Professor Sprout gave it, and she asked me to guess what was planted in it."
The deans of the three houses have all sent them away, and of course Flitwick is not left behind.
His gift was a book long out of print, The Book of Spells.
All the spells in it can be found in Hogwarts senior textbooks.
As useless as it may seem, the insights underlying each mantra are invaluable.
For example, the various usages of the Levitating Curse, and how to control the power of the Crushing Curse.
Then there's Cedric and Rove's gift.
A set of broomstick maintenance kit and a collector's edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The big gifts are all unwrapped, leaving some small ones filled with candy decorations and the like.
Vincent counted all these, and then opened the big box under the bed.
"You actually prepared so much?"
Excluding a few shrunken small items in the box, the rest are exquisite decorations.
"I asked my parents to find them in Portobello Road on purpose."
Gu Gu Gu who was eating the biscuit suddenly stopped.
This battle, I'm afraid I will be busy until night.
