·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
Time passed quickly as Sun Zhu kept practicing changing the shape of the Sumeru beads, and she had successfully turned the round emerald beads into a peanut, although she didn't know if the taste was similar.
She also did not forget to prepare gifts for everyone.
She bought wrapping paper in four colors of red, yellow, blue, and green, and she thought it was very ceremonial to wrap the gifts separately.
The Weasleys were all packed in bright red tinsel sprinkled with gold leaf.
She gave Mrs. Molly a set of hardcover housework magic books, including practical magic in cooking, cleaning, organizing, furniture maintenance and repair, etc. It was really hard for Molly to take care of a large family by herself.
In fact, she originally wanted to study this set of books by herself. After all, she and her father are not good at cooking, but they both love to eat.But she felt that she didn't have the talent and patience, so it was better to give to those who needed it more.
The twins were given Quidditch merchandise, and although she knew they would be batsmen for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the future, she sent a complete model set with seven players and four balls.
She also gave away two Bludgers and two bats.The twins are indeed exactly what their captain Oliver Wood described in the original book - "They themselves are like two Bludgers."
What was given to Ron was an owl barn owl. In the original book, Sirius gave him an owl as compensation for Ron's pet, the escaped Wormtail Scabbers.Now Scabbers was going to have her beard cut off, and Ron would lose his pet for good.So she went home and bought another owl for Ron by mail order at the Eilah Owl Shop.
Sun Zhu repeatedly emphasized that she wanted a docile owl, and she still remembered how noisy the Zhu Weiqiong that Sirius gave her was.Fortunately, when the grass owl arrived, she chatted with it and made sure it was a good boy, so she gave it to Ron with confidence.
Ginny was given a quill and ink set.The quill was the gold and red pen that Ginny liked. Sun Zhu guessed that Ginny liked it because it was in Gryffindor color scheme.In addition, she also prepared seven bottles of gradient color ink, the colors are really beautiful, she feels that no girl can refuse such a beautiful thing.
In addition to the Weasleys, she was also going to give a Christmas present to Jamie and Newt, who were responsible for her.Although it was just a one-sided relationship, the other party might not remember her as a little girl, but she couldn't ignore them.
What was given to Jamie was a dragon model. The ten known dragons were scaled down and housed in a large simulated dragon farm.She thinks that maybe Jamie doesn't need such a thing that can only be seen, but she really doesn't know him well, and choosing gifts for men is not something she is good at, so she can only think that this will not go wrong gift.
The gift for Newt was something she had carefully prepared for a long time, and she had already started to prepare it after she met him at the Ministry of Magic.It is a set of pictures and texts of ancient Chinese mythological animals that she picked up from the Huaxia Street Bookstore in London.According to her judgment, it contains a mixture of books such as "Shan Hai Jing" and "Sou Shen Ji", and there are many mythical beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, as well as fierce beasts such as Qiongqi, Chaos, and Taotie.The accompanying pictures are also very vivid, which is very suitable for popularizing Chinese culture for a pure Englishman like Newt.
The fly in the ointment is that this set of books is purely in Chinese, even with a mix of traditional and simplified, vertical layout, very old and very valuable.When Sun Zhu bought it, she had to use the trick of selling cuteness and bargaining with the uncle of the bookstore in Huaxia language with dialect, so she finally got her to use the "local accent" to get close and won the album.It's just that the next translation project requires her to think a little bit, but fortunately, because she has prepared for a long time, it can be regarded as basically completed.She wrapped it in a ginger-yellow Hufflepuff with black stripes, and wrote her Christmas wishes to her heart's content.
What was given to Luna was a set of small animal crystal hair clips and headbands, bought from the mail order list of the Fengya brand wizard clothing store in Hogsmeade, and it is said that defensive magic has been applied to them.Because of its cute shape, Sun Zhu felt that it would be a perfect gift for a young girl with quirky spirits.And she thinks that she has a much higher aesthetic than her father, and she will definitely not pick out any strange color matching like him.As usual, it was packaged in a Ravenclaw package with a sky blue background and copper-colored polka-dots, and this one is also done.
As usual, the items given to Cedric were related to Quidditch. Forgive her for really not knowing boys' preferences.Cedric, the future Seeker for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, can't go wrong with Quidditch accessories.Her picks were a limited-edition scale model of a Snitch and several signed posters of the Quidditch team's Seeker.
Naturally, I got the poster through my father. As an official of the Department of Magical Sports, Sun Zhengxing got it. It was not difficult to get it. What was difficult was that she didn't know which Quidditch team Cedric liked, so she just took the one she could find. Signed posters from Seekers in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales were handed over.Thanks to him, Sun Zhu has recognized all thirteen teams of the British national team.
Sun Zhengxing was originally surprised by her sudden interest in Quidditch, but when he learned that Sun Zhu was actually giving Cedric a Christmas present, he almost withheld all the posters.Sun Zhu didn't understand why Sun Zhengxing had such a big opinion on Cedric, and when they first met, he praised him, but he didn't expect his father to have two faces!
The one for Fiona was the one she had chosen for the longest time. In Sun Zhu's heart, Fiona is beautiful and elegant. As a superficial face control, Sun Zhu had to choose carefully, but it was too difficult to find something that matched her temperament. up.It turns out that she is not only bad at picking gifts for men, but also for women.
In the end, she asked her father to find peony flowers as gifts, the national flower of China, rich and graceful, elegant and dignified.There is also a peony garden in England, but that belongs to the research scope of British Muggles, and the Diggory family of three wizards don't know much about it.What she was looking for was the four top grades of "Bean Green Peony". Although it is not particularly rare because of the large amount of artificial cultivation, it was still very valuable in 1987.
But in fact, the expensive price is the best difficulty to overcome. The key problem is that the peony blooms in spring. In order to give birth to this green peony, Sun Zhu exchanged 10 experience points from the system for a bottle of life-promoting spirit dew, and asked his father to apply fresh-keeping Curse and warming spell, finally sent the flowers out successfully.She specially chose a dark green flower pot with silver borders, forming a gradient from deep to light with the light pea green flowers and grass green leaves.
In the end, she didn't forget about Harry. What she gave Harry was a pair of shoes that were enchanted with warmth. The shoes would automatically adjust the size according to the size of his feet, and even take him out of danger when necessary.She sent the owl to Privet Drive anonymously. According to Long, when the owl flew over, it was stopped by a new alchemist near Harry's house for inspection, but it was quickly released.
Sun Zhu was very pleased with Dumbledore's appropriateness, and was not at all unhappy because he was also the object of suspicion.
At the same time, she didn't forget to write greeting cards to her father's colleagues. Sun Zhengxing didn't ask why she suddenly had so many "friends" who wanted to give gifts, but just followed her.
"Dad, and yours." Sun Zhu took out a box mysteriously. Of course, she couldn't forget Dad's gift.
"It's good that my good daughter hasn't forgotten my old father." Sun Zhengxing said a little sourly, "I don't need anything from you, just remember that my father is still by your side."
"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about? How could I forget you? You are my dearest dad." Sun Zhu said to him with the same toothache: "Quickly open it! You must like it!"
"I don't like what you gave me?" Sun Zhengxing muttered while opening the blue box.
Inside the box was a photo album. He flipped through the inside pages and found that each of the photos inside was a group photo of him and Sun Zhu going to various places in the past year.In addition, there are various snapshots of him cooking in the kitchen, reading in the living room, and stroking the cat at the neighbor's house.Every photo in the album was developed by Sun Zhu at a Muggle photo studio, and then she carefully organized it into this album.
"So that's what the Muggle camera you insisted on buying last year was for?" Sun Zhengxing murmured, he hugged Sun Zhu, his eyes wrinkled, "It's the luckiest thing in my life to have a daughter like you I love you, Azhu."
"Father, I love you too." Sun Zhu replied.
Meeting you is also the luckiest thing in my life, she repeated in her heart.
She also did not forget to prepare gifts for everyone.
