Chapter 76: Unboxing Christmas gifts
Chapter 76 Unboxing Christmas Gifts
The next morning, when Kyle got up, he saw a mountain of gifts piled in front of his bed.
Most of them are snacks such as chocolate or candies, and the quantity is much more than he thought.
“An excellent and good student is indeed popular.”
Kyle put these aside and continued to open the remaining gifts.
Hagrid’s gift was the largest. It looked like a wooden barrel and was wrapped in thick brown paper.
“Could it be the Yue Chi Beast...” Kyle opened the package with some anxiety.
Fortunately, it was not what he thought. What Hagrid sent was a cloak grass, and the wooden barrel was a temporary flowerpot he found, filled with soil.
There are still some dewdrops on the leaves of the cloak grass, which he probably just dug from the Forbidden Forest.
What Kyle gave to Hagrid was a set of fire dragon models, the kind used for drawing lots in competitions. They could move, fly at low altitudes, and breathe fire.
Hagrid will probably like it very much.
Cedric gave him a set of "Magical Quidditch", signed by players of the Chudley Cannons.
Kyle looked at the signature and put the book aside in disgust... He didn't like this team.
It is worth mentioning that the gift Kyle gave Cedric was also related to Quidditch, which was his signed Wimbourne Hornets bat that he had treasured for a long time.
He specially wrote to Mrs. Weasley and asked her to help mail it. It is definitely a sincere gift.
For this reason, he was even scolded by Mrs. Weasley, who blamed him for not going home during the holidays. She also said that she must teach him a lesson during the summer vacation.
But Kyle wasn’t worried at all.
Mrs. Weasley is easy to coax. An apron made by Kyle himself, plus a beautiful final report card, ensure that there will be no problems.
Connor’s gift was a pair of woolen gloves she knitted herself, with Kyle’s initials on them.
To Kyle's surprise, the little witch's craftsmanship was unexpectedly good, and he quite liked it.
It fit just right when he put it on, just right to wear with the sweater Mrs. Weasley gave him.
What he gave to Kangna was a handbag with an anti-theft device, which should be very practical for her.
Fred gave a bottle of disappearing ink, and George gave a collection of chocolate frog cards. Inside is a blank transparent card sleeve, which can be put into the collected cards, which is very convenient.
Kyle gave them a copy of "Elementary Alchemy", which is also the textbook for the alchemy course at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He knew that the twins had been inventing some joke props recently, and this book should still be very helpful to them.
And his two lovely roommates.
Mikel gave him an exquisite golden brooch, and Ryan gave him a set of wizard chess.
To Kyle’s surprise, he actually received a gift from the professor.
Professor Flitwick gave Kyle his notes from school. There were two thick notebooks from the first grade to the third grade, which were filled with his understanding of magic.
This gift can be said to be very precious.
Keir felt a little guilty because the gift he gave to Professor Flitwick was just a simple rosewood amulet.
In fact, Kyle gave every professor a gift.
Professor Flitwick's amulet.
Professor McGonagall teaches a hat ornament in the shape of a golden snitch.
Professor Sprout is a tool care set.
Professor Oren is a walking stick.
Professor Binns is a newspaper clipping "Three Major Magical Schools in Europe: The Treatment of Professors". Principal Dumbledore is a book "One Hundred Ways to Knit Woolen Socks".
Of course, there is also Professor Snape, who has taken great care of him recently. In order to express his gratitude, Kyle specially gave him a whole box of Potter Speedy Shampoo.
It’s just that he didn’t sign this gift, and he didn’t use Laton. Instead, he found an owl from the school and sent it to the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley, and then delivered it to Professor Snape.
Although the process is a little more troublesome, it is worth it.
I believe Snape will be very touched after receiving this gift.
After Kyle carefully collected Professor Flitwick's notes, he opened the last gift, which was given to him by Diana.
It was a silver ring with a crescent moon decoration, and there was a short letter underneath:
“This is a magic item that can cast the Displacement Spell three times. If you are in danger, just inject magic into it and concentrate on imagining the target location, and it will take you away.
Note: It cannot be used inside Hogwarts Castle, but it can be used outside the castle gate. If you don’t want to take the train on vacation, you can also use it to go home.
(Hope you like this gift, dear.
Merry Chrismas.
This is an upgraded version of the door key?
As soon as Kyle put the ring on his finger, it automatically attached to the skin. Kyle tried to move his fingers and found that there was no discomfort.
Kyle liked the gift very much.
He has always wanted to learn to apparate, but because he was too young, neither Chris nor Newt would teach him.
This ring can be said to be the most satisfying Christmas gift he has received in the past eleven years.
The number of times is a bit small, only three times.
It would be nice if it were thirty times.
Kyle cleaned the dormitory, and when he came to the common room, Kangna was digging something in a large flowerpot on tiptoes.
“What are you looking for? Do you want help?” Kyle asked.
"No, I've found it." Kangna took out a dirty cloth bag from the flowerpot, turned around and said, "Thank you for your Christmas gift, I really need that."
Kyle watched her take out two Galleons from the bag and then put them into the handbag he gave her, and said doubtfully:
“Are you still doing Deugalon lately?”
"No more." Kangna shook her head and said, "But I lost two Sickles yesterday afternoon."
Isn’t this the same meaning?
Kyle frowned and said, "Where are your roommates, have they all gone home?"
“Well, they’ve all gone back, and now I’m the only one in the dormitory.” Kangna said with some excitement, “But they sent me a gift, a Muggle hairpin, which is pretty good.”
Kyle rubbed his forehead, and when he was about to say something, Kangna had already ran back to the dormitory in a hurry.
When she came back, she had a small wooden box in her hand.
“Look, isn’t it beautiful?” Connor handed the box to Kyle.
There are seven or eight colorful hairpins inside, and the styles and looks are indeed much more novel than those in the magic world.
However, Kyle was not interested in this. He just took a brief look at it and prepared to return it to Kangna.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a small bottle under these hairpins. Out of curiosity, he reached out and took away the hairpin covering it.
“What the **** is this?”
Keir's hand suddenly trembled and he almost threw the box away. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly put the box on the wooden table next to him.
After calming down a little, Kyle carefully reached out his hand and took out the bottle.
