Chapter 65 Christmas

The next day,

Every British child wakes up very early on this day.

Because today I can open the presents.

For the past ten years, Harry has received only one 50p coin per year from his aunt and uncle.

He has already opened the letters sent by his aunt and his family, just like in previous years.

But these are not important. What is important is what will the new friends he met this year send him?

"Hermione sent this, a big box of chocolate frogs. I remember her family lives in the suburbs of London. Did she go to Diagon Alley to buy this?"

Harry murmured before opening the next gift.

"A small bottle of magic potion. Is this the elixir of good fortune? Wow."

In the packaging box containing the medicine bottle, there is also a small card that says,

[It will help you win the Quidditch game and defeat Slytherin. 】

No doubt from Snape,

Harry felt that he must have never read the book "The Magic of Quidditch", otherwise how could he not know that Felixir was not allowed to be used during the game.

In short, it's not just papers, Harry is really afraid that Snape will send him a gift package of real papers.

What Malfoy sent was a flying carpet with the word "Potter" embroidered on it.

Hagrid sent a flute, and Harry played it. It was a bit like an owl's hoot, which was very interesting.

To Harry's surprise, Mrs. Weasley also sent him a gift.

It was a hand-knitted green sweater with the same eye color as his, and an extra pack of fudge.

There were two packages left, one of which was packaged like a wand box, with a five-pointed star pattern printed on the outer package. Harry knew that this belonged to Raven, and many of Raven's things had such a pattern. .

He couldn't wait to open it, and inside was a very beautiful pen with a red casing!

This must help me solve Snape's test paper, right? A pen that can answer questions automatically?

There were instructions in Raven's handwriting inside the box, and Harry had to read them carefully. He hadn't finished the test paper that Snape had assigned him before the holiday, so he hoped to use it.

[Magical pen: It has endless ink, which can help people who use quill pens save the time of dipping in ink. 】

???

Is this what Raven said, "saves you a lot of time" because you don't have to dip in ink?

The world becomes gray,

Harry felt that the wind and snow outside the castle had blown into the tower, and there was no trust between people anymore.

But Harry finally gritted his teeth and put away the pen. After all, it could really save him a lot of time.

"Hahahahaha!" Ron sat aside and laughed wildly.

He was also opening gifts just now, and now that he has finished opening them, he is watching Harry open them.

Harry noticed that the packages Ron tore off also had Raven's logo, and out of curiosity, he asked Ron.

"Raven gave you something too? What was it?"

Ron raised the box in his hand,

"From the appearance, it looks like a set of chess pieces, but it must have been magically cast by Raven, who is an alchemist.

I haven’t read the instructions yet, so let’s get started. "

So the two of them got together,

Since both sides of the game in Wizard Chess bring their own chess pieces and are responsible for any losses, a set of chess pieces consists of sixteen pieces belonging to one side.

Opening the manual, the two looked at the introduction about this set of chess pieces.

【The wizard's chess that will never be damaged】

There are eight armor chess pieces, representing soldiers. They are made of orichalcum and have extremely strong physical defense.

Two purple-horned beast chess pieces represent chariots. They are made of O'Hara steel and have extremely strong magic defense.

Two wise men's chess pieces represent the bishop. They are made of mithril and have the property of destroying demons.

Two unicorn chess pieces represent knights. They are made of gold and have the ability to break through physical defenses.

A witch chess piece, representing the queen, is made of eternal ice. The king can cast spells through the witch, and the witch will increase the magic.

A throne chess piece represents the king. It is made of Yitri mineral and can form a protective stance to protect the king.

Looking at this series of very powerful introductions, Harry swallowed.

"Fortunately this is just a set of chess pieces, Ron, otherwise this would be too scary."

Ron nodded, and then found another instruction manual from behind it.

[Storage chess box]

The chess box will recycle the chess pieces at 0: every day and repair them.

The chess box will perform [Quickly Shrink] for the chess pieces during storage.

This chess box can only be used by Ron Weasley.

The holder can remove the shrinking spell on the chess piece in advance.

The command is: Shi Zhen moves out!

"Ron...Ron, is this thing you said Raven gave you true?"

This time it really scared Harry.

If what this instruction manual says is true, it means that this is not a set of wizard chess for playing tricks at all, but a set of golems that are both offensive and defensive, and are particularly good at beating!

Is this how a biological brother is treated?

Ron didn't feel uncomfortable at all now. Although Raven said he would make up for himself on Christmas (Chapter 31), Raven also gave him a flying carpet.

Ron thought his Christmas gift wouldn't be too supermodel-y, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

Raven originally planned to give him a set that looked similar to the ones Professor McGonagall kept underground. I mean,

But Ron cooperated very well last time and deceived those two guys, so Raven strengthened these pieces.

He was already familiar with the technology of the alchemical golem in his previous life.

Ancient magic has always been a strong point in the field of creation. The trial space built by a few guardians and the various devil guards all show this.

What Ron was given was just a little enchantment using the alchemy skills of this life and adding some good materials.

Ron wasn't brave enough to try it now, so even though he was extremely excited, he still put the chess box away.

"Oh, by the way, Harry, there is a package on the ground that seems to be yours." Ron reminded.

Harry walked over and picked it up,

It feels thick and heavy, obviously like a piece of clothing.

Harry opened it, revealing a piece of silvery fabric.

After being baptized by the chess box, Ron would not be too surprised even if he was surprised.

"If I'm not wrong, this is a very cherished thing. Harry, please put it on and try it on."

Harry did so and the body disappeared into thin air.

"Sure enough, this is an invisibility cloak. Harry just had a piece of paper fall out. Take a look."

Harry, who was still wandering in front of the mirror, his eyes fell on the note, so he took off his invisibility cloak and picked it up.

"This is what your father entrusted to me before he died. Now I give it back to you. Use it well." Unseen font.

When Harry was confused, the door was pushed open and he put away the invisibility cloak.

George and Fred walked in wearing the same blue sweater, except that one of them had the letter "G" knitted with yellow needlework, while the other knitted the letter "F".

At this point, Harry could imagine Raven wearing the same outfit, but with the letter "R" on it.

They are here to arrest people, so it can't be just the two of them.

"Harry, you also have a sweater made by the Weasley family! Apparently your mother spent more energy on this one for you!"

said the one wearing the 'G', but Harry thought he might be Fred.

"Put it on, Harry, and you, little Ronnie, put it on, let's go see Percy."

"I don't like dark burgundy," Ron muttered, but put on the sweater anyway, and then Percy was pulled out with the letter "P" on him.

The following content is additionally updated and is not included in today’s word count.
