Chapter 366 Christmas Gift
Because of Helena, Rove had undoubtedly missed lunch at Hogwarts.
But it's not a big problem. Hufflepuff, one of the great four, once said:
"I want to be close to the little badgers in the kitchen, and I can have hot meals at any time."
This kind of benefit is not envied by other colleges!
Sitting by the fireplace in the Hufflepuff lounge, Rove lifted the lid of an exquisite food box, and steaming smoke came out.
He picked up a piece of honey date cake that melted in his mouth, tore open half of it, and handed it to Xue Li beside him.
The ponytailed girl looked at Rove with her hands on her cheeks. She shook her head and said with a bright smile, "I have eaten at noon."
"Try it, the house elves say it's the newest flavor." Rove said with a smile, "Besides, you're so skinny, there's no harm in eating more."
Xue Li obediently took the jujube cake, took a bite, chewed and swallowed slowly.
Speaking of it, she also felt that her body was too thin. When she took a bath with Hermione before, she felt that she was okay, and even had a slight advantage...
But after seeing the horsewoman Nymeria, especially seeing her undulating chest, she seemed too slender in comparison.
While eating, Rove carefully talked about Helena and Barrow's affairs, not the rhetoric to fool Snape and the others, but the real process.
After Shirley listened quietly, she frowned extremely beautifully. She had heard Rove mention Helena a long time ago, and she also knew that this Ravenclaw's daughter wanted Rove to resurrect her...and then marry he.
Shirley whispered: "So, are you going to resurrect Helena?"
Rove didn't answer, but asked instead: "Do you want me to resurrect her?"
Shirley was silent, she rested her cheeks and looked at the flames in the fireplace in a daze.
After a while, the girl with ponytail bit her lip, nodded and shook her head and said:
"I want Helena to be resurrected, but I don't want you to resurrect her."
Rove couldn't help but almost wanted to laugh out loud, but knowing that Shirley was thin-skinned, he didn't expose her petty thoughts, so he held back his smile and said:
"Then next time you see Helena in the Ravenclaw lounge, you can tell her what you think."
"Okay! Who is afraid of whom?!"
Shirley straightened her back aggressively, and soon bent down again, lying on the table, gently fiddled with her ponytail, a little emboldened:
"Helena is Ravenclaw's daughter. Is she as smart as her mother? Can I handle it?"
Rove reached out and tapped the ponytailed girl's forehead, "Not as smart as you."
Shirley smiled.
He paused, and then said, "Not as pretty as you."
Shirley blushed.
The girl with ponytails shifted her eyes slightly, she raised her head, looked out of the window, and said pleasantly, "It's snowing."
Rove turned his head, looked at the layer of snow mat that was quickly laid outside the castle, and smiled softly:
"Yeah...Merry Christmas!"
...
...
A heavy snow fell at Hogwarts, covering the thousand-year-old castle with a thick white fox fur.
The heavy snow continued until Christmas and finally became smaller.
After last year's bombardment of gifts, Rove learned to behave this year. When he went to bed at night, he deliberately left the windows open so that the owls could pass through unimpeded.
All kinds of food and water were placed on the table to reward them, and even the fireplace was filled with firewood, allowing them to stop and warm up when giving gifts.
Rove only hopes that he can sleep until he wakes up naturally this year, and not be woken up by the owl giving gifts again.
But he still miscalculated and far underestimated the number of gifts this year.
Early in the morning, Rove felt a little out of breath, and there seemed to be a heavy weight on his body. He thought that a ghost had pressed the bed, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the quilt was full of various gifts.
Not only the quilts and beds, but also the dormitory is full of gift boxes, just like this, there is an owl standing at the window, stretching out its claws and stuffing it into the room, it looks like a rookie station.
Rove obviously underestimated his current popularity and influence in the magic world, but there is no way around it. You are the headline of the newspaper every day, and the minister will mention you in two of the three sentences... It is difficult not to be famous.
Rove picked up a gift and found that there was a letter on it, and the sender was a witch named Gladys.
She said in the letter that she was a loyal fan of Peter after reading the report that Rove caught Peter, and then asked him to meet at the Leaky Cauldron on Christmas.
She also booked a room where the two of them could chat in depth about the details of catching Peter!
Rove picked up another letter, this one looks like a liar... claiming that her husband is infertile and wants a second child, and asked Rove to borrow some high-quality essence.
A reward of 100,000 Galleons will be awarded after the event is completed!
Rove was sure it was a liar, because the letter was signed by Narcissa Malfoy.
Even if it wasn't a scam, it was impossible for Rove to agree. After all, he and Draco were classmates. If he really made a younger brother for him, wouldn't his seniority be messed up?
In a pile of gift boxes, Rove searched for a long time before finding the Christmas presents from his friends.
Sirius still maintained his character as a local tyrant and gave Rove an expensive invisibility cloak.
This invisibility cloak is made of the hide of an invisible beast. Although it is not as good as Harry's Deathly Hallows, the hiding effect is also very good.
Rove has obtained the ability of the invisible beast, this invisibility cloak is a bit tasteless to him.
But if you go to the Forbidden Forest in the future, you can wear it for Shirley, so you can make the best use of it.
Professor McGonagall gave it a small gift box. After Rove opened it, he found that it was a golden snitch.
The Snitch has a physical memory and can remember the first person to touch it, in case there is a dispute when grabbing the ball.
So, the Snitch wasn't touched by any bare skin, not even by its maker, until it was unleashed in a game.
Rove touched the timid Snitch, which was the first time he got it.
Rove's gift to Professor McGonagall the year before last was a small flying broom suitable for cats to ride on, and last year it was a cat climbing frame.
This year he gave away catnip-flavored cat litter. Recently, he was planning to hide from Professor McGonagall, for fear that she would transform her into a cat and stuff it into the cat litter.
Snape gave Rove a large cauldron, but the cauldron was obviously picked up from the warehouse, with a thick layer of old dirt, at least twenty years old.
Snape could sell it to a junk collector, but he gave it to Rove as a Christmas present... He cried to death.
Rove's gift to Snape was also very "precious". It was a magical plant unique to the Far East...Tai Sui.
Tai Sui, also called Ganoderma lucidum, is very rare and is an important ingredient in many potions.
But the ganoderma lucidum that Rove gave was made of silica gel. I don't know if the well-informed Professor Snape knows this stuff.
Dumbledore knew that Rove was learning alchemy recently, so he gave the boy his notes from his youth as a Christmas gift.
Dumbledore is also a master of alchemy. When he was in school, he won the gold medal for pioneering contributions at the Cairo International Alchemy Conference.
Dumbledore likes sweets best, and Rolf's gift is a cake with the shape of Fawkes engraved on it.
He asked Jacob to bake that cake. Although it was sent from the United States, it was protected by magic and had a familiar taste.
Hermione went skiing with her parents this Christmas holiday, and she gave a set of ski equipment as a gift.
Rove's gift to Hermione is an expensive magic radio, with which you can listen to wizard programs.
Opening Shirley's gift box, Rove found an exquisite sachet with a pattern of sniffing on it, which was beautifully embroidered.
The sachet itself exudes wisps of fragrance, the fragrance is elegant, and there are little spots of tender green brilliance oozing out of it, which is fragrant and pleasant.
Rove put the sachet woven by the girl with ponytails on the tip of his nose and sniffed it vigorously, then carefully tied it next to his pillow.
