Jing Shen Tian Si
The next morning.
Aaron opened his eyes, and there were a dozen or so packages of different sizes by the corner of his bed, which should be his Christmas presents this year.
First he opened his parents' present, and it turned out just as he expected.
A postcard of the sunrise they saw while sailing at sea.
"Dear son, isn't it beautiful, we originally planned to take a picture of the sky full of stars for you.
But I think it must be in the morning when you open the present, so I will give you a picture of the sunrise, and 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, the gift is light and the affection is heavy!
The people who know Aaron's family situation best are his parents. Knowing that he has everything, they simply sent 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 worthy of being a butler, and directly sent the income report of the small shop he opened in Diagon Alley in recent months.
In addition, there is also a dragon illustrated book, which records the species, characteristics, and gathering places of all dragons known in the magic world. It is probably prepared for Abe. After all, it is a dragon of noble blood. What 'distant relatives' are still necessary.
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 gifts from some of his relatives. They were all kinds of strange things, but they were much more practical than the first three.
Some people send daggers, some clothes, some musical instruments, some distorting mirrors...
Someone also sent a big gift bag of snacks, and as soon as it was taken out, a white figure stuck his face in it.
Aaron picked up Abe in disgust, then pushed the gift bag to it, and rubbed it on its faucet several times.
Among them was another gift from Hermione, which was a toothbrush set, including tooth cups, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
This made Aaron a little dumbfounded. His teeth are definitely quite healthy, but they are better than nothing.
......
hall.
Residing students and professors all gather here for the Christmas feast.
The food in this festival is extremely rich, and everyone eats very happily.
Aaron put Abe on the dining table, then picked up a gift box to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, this is for you."
"Mine?" Professor McGonagall pointed to himself, somewhat flattered, "Christmas gift."
"That's 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 special.
But I really can't have it, it's too precious. "
"Professor, you misunderstood, and 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 hugged the box into his 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 student of Slytherin."
"Oh! Yes, this is yours, Professor Snape." Aaron took out a bottle from his pocket, "This is the bodily fluid of a magical creature, and it cost me a lot to get it.
Of course it may be useful, or it may not be useful at all.
Specifically, it depends on how you, the potion master, deal with it. "
When Aaron explained, Abe, who was feasting on a turkey at the dining table, froze for a moment, then sniffed the air with his nose.
It turned its head and glanced at the teacher's bench, its cute little face was a little weird, and then continued to cook.
Snape did not avoid suspicion, directly took the bottle from Aaron, took it to his nose and sniffed it slightly, and then his face changed slightly, "Aaron, what kind of magical creature is this.
This material is...unique, I really haven't seen it before.
Or maybe I saw it, but forgot it.
But no matter which one it is, it can show that this kind of magical creature is particularly rare. "
"Um... I'm sorry I can't tell you that." Aaron said seriously, everyone has their own secrets, and he definitely couldn't tell Snape that the bottle contained Abe's saliva.
"Mysterious," said Snape, and slipped the bottle into his pocket.
"Aaron, do you have any presents from me?" Professor Flitwick asked shyly, "Of course if not, just pretend I didn't ask."
"I still have this." Aaron took out a brush and handed it over.
"This..." Professor Flitwick became more and more embarrassed, "If I read correctly, the material of this nib is unicorn feathers!"
"Yes, I hope you like it."
"I love it so much."
"Gai... Mister Gaius, maybe I shouldn't... ask that.
But, gifts, are there any, mine. "
Aaron glanced at Quirrell, who was sitting on the teacher's bench, and showed an awkward but polite smile, "Sorry, professor, I can't use the family property while I'm in school.
Professor Snape's gifts are all obtained by me through personal channels, plus other gifts for other friends, I have almost spent all my money, so..."
"It's okay, 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 with apology, but what he thought in his heart was that you will be belching after this school year is over, and burning a few pieces of paper for you next Christmas will be more or less the meaning.
After stepping off the teacher's seat, Aaron returned to his seat and began to enjoy the banquet.
After a while, Harry and Ron walked over, wearing the same sweaters as Percy, Fred and George.
"You are indeed good friends, you have the same taste in clothes!" Aaron teased, "You look quite warm."
Harry smiled awkwardly. This is the second most gift he has received in his life. The first is a package sent to him by a stranger this morning. It contains his father's belongings, an invisibility cloak .
"That's right!" Ron said proudly, "My mother made it herself, and 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 from him 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 probably have known about it soon.
"That... Aaron, Merry Christmas."
"Hmm! Merry Christmas." Aaron looked at Harry, "Speak quickly if you have anything to say! I'm in a hurry for you."
"All right!
First of all, thank you for the gift you gave me. I like those pictures very much. "
"Yes." Ron interjected immediately, "That is the most affordable gift I have ever received in my life, a Gold Galleon, a Silver Sickle, and a Copper Knut.
But why are you sending me money? "
"Because that's probably what you want, what you desperately need, and Harry isn't very short of money."
"That makes sense!" Ron nodded approvingly.
"Cough cough!" Harry coughed lightly, then glanced at the teacher's seat without a trace, and said when he found that no one was paying attention to him, "Then there is one thing I want to ask you, I want to go to the restricted area to find Guanni Ke Flamel's lead, so..."
"Pfft!" Aaron almost spit out the half-eaten food, he looked at Harry in astonishment, "No way! You haven't given up yet?
Again, it is impossible for me to help you in this regard.
The Restricted Section is not for first-year 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 area. Could it be that you are not a first-year student? student?"
Aaron turned his head, looked at Ron meaningfully, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Ron, people are different.
As you know, our dean is very optimistic about me, and it takes only a few minutes to get a approval slip. "
The corner of Harry's mouth twitched, and he smiled wryly, "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 help you in some aspects, but absolutely not in certain aspects.
Again, the Restricted Area is a little too early for you. "
Aaron opened his eyes, and there were a dozen or so packages of different sizes by the corner of his bed, which should be his Christmas presents this year.
First he opened his parents' present, and it turned out just as he expected.
A postcard of the sunrise they saw while sailing at sea.
