The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 93: Christmas gift



   The next morning, Jon woke up from his sleep.

   After a simple wash, he habitually came to Hufflepuff’s common room.

   What surprised him slightly is that this place is rare and empty.

   He quickly realized that the Christmas holiday was coming... Except for the Hufflepuff students who stayed at the school, there seemed to be only one first-year girl who he could not name.

   This is good news! Since there is no interruption in the common room, I don’t need such a cold weather to read and study by myself, so I ran to the room on the eighth floor.

   Jon quickly moved a few thick books and a roll of parchment to the common room. He stayed in the common room every day, and when he was hungry, he ran to the kitchen next door to get something to eat. Recently, the food provided by the house elves is quite abundant.

   At this time, in other parts of the castle, the usual Christmas decorations are all done.

   Although there are very few students staying in school, the walls of the corridor are covered with ribbons of holly and mistletoe. There are twelve Christmas trees in the auditorium as usual, with golden stars shining on the trees.

   The Christmas atmosphere on campus is still very sufficient!

   On the day before Christmas, Jon prepared many gifts and brought them to the owl shed.

   A few days ago he sent the owl to Diagon Alley and London to buy these gifts.

   He sent his parents a pair of gloves and scarves to perform warmth magic, even in cold weather, they can still keep warm.

   The house elf in the kitchen, he sent a lot of pairs of children's shoes. Although it is taboo to give the house elf clothes, the shoes are not a problem.

   As for Astoria, he sent a set of Icarus cosmetics that are not expensive.

  ……

   On Christmas morning, Jon was woken up by an alarm clock.

   A small pile of packages appeared at the foot of the bed.

   He got up lazily, put on a sweater, and then turned his attention to these packages.

   "It's time to open the present once again!" Jon said to himself.

  While talking, he opened the top one, which was a black woolen sweater... It was sent by Judy.

   Eric’s gift is a set of photo albums with photos of him growing up every year from one to thirteen.

Jon carefully put these two gifts into the cupboard, and opened the next one that Astoria had sent him-a Christmas tree-shaped chocolate cake with cream and crookedly written "Merry Christmas," Jon".

   It should have been made by Astoria himself... Jon took a bite, it tasted just so good, not as good as a house elf.

   put the cake in the closet, the next gift is small. Inside is a very long and delicate gold chain, and in the middle is a rotating gold roulette; this gold pendant is wrapped by a very long piece of parchment.

   On the parchment, the words of blessings are written densely line by line. There are almost hundreds of sentences with different handwriting; the signature of the top blessing is "Klein".

   Gifts from house elves!

   Jon couldn't help being a little touched, he carefully put the parchment paper into the innermost compartment of his suitcase, and then hung the pendant around his neck.

   There are many more gifts that I received, including Professor Sprout’s gifts, Zacharias’s gifts, and Hannah’s gifts... After reading them, Jon took them one by one.

   "Bang! Bang!" The abnormal sound outside the window attracted his attention.

   Jon walked over and opened the window covered with thick frost.

   A dark brown owl fluttered into the house, and then panted heavily.

   Owl’s right foot had a letter tied to it, and Jon quickly took it off and opened it:

  "My dear student;

   It’s been a long time, are you okay? How are you learning from what I taught you?

   I am in Corsica now, enjoying the warmest Christmas in my life!

   Those werewolf’s distant relatives have recently moved their targets, and the principal’s friends have also given me a lot of help, and my life has finally settled down a bit!

   I wish you all the best!

   and: Merry Christmas!

  G·K·L"

   Jon couldn't help but smile when he looked at this short, messy letter.

   There is no doubt that this was sent by Guidro Lockhart... Nearly a year later, he finally received news from Lockhart.

  Although Lockhart is a liar, he helped himself a lot and taught himself the "Forgetting Curse"; Jon was still grateful to him.

   Knowing that Black’s escape from prison has caused a lot of slack in the dementors hunting Lockhart, and Jon is also thankful for him.

   He took out a pen and a note, and began to reply:

"Dear Professor;

   Thank you for your concern, I have controlled the spell you gave me very well!

   After receiving your message, I am very happy to learn that you are out of danger!

   I wish you an early return...

   Also, Merry Christmas!

  J·A·H"

   Then he put the letter into the metal tube tied to the right foot of the dark brown owl~www.NovelMTL.com~ and brought it to the person who sent the letter! "Jon whispered to Owl.

   I fed the owl a little breadcrumbs, and in the ice and snow, the owl flew to the sky again!

  ……

   I packed up all the gifts, and Jon walked out of the Hufflepuff common room for the first time throughout the Christmas holiday.

   At noon on Christmas Day, there is a very hearty meal.

   Coming to the entrance of the hall, Jon happened to meet Hermione Granger! The trio of Salvation did not go home, but stayed at Hogwarts to spend this Christmas.

   "Merry Christmas, Hermione!" Jon greeted her with a smile.

   "You... hello..." Hermione said hello absently.

   She hurried forward and passed Jon.

   "Professor McGonagall!" Jon heard her shout loudly.

   Then, Hermione and Professor McGonagall were in the corner of the hall talking very seriously... Jon vaguely heard keywords such as "Christmas gift", "Black", and "Firebolt".

   Then, Professor McGonagall hurriedly followed Hermione, left the hall, and walked towards Gryffindor Tower.

   After mourning for Harry's firebolt, Jon walked into the hall.

   In the hall, the four long tables have been moved to the place against the wall, and there is only one table for a dozen people in the middle of the room. Professor Dumbledore replaced his pointed wizard hat with a millinery decorated with flowers, which looked funny.

   Jon sat in one of the positions.

   "Would you like this sausage, Jon... it tastes great." Dumbledore, wearing a milliner's hat, enthusiastically pushed a plate in front of Jon.

   "Thank you, professor!" Jon quickly took it.
