Chapter 520 Invisible Christmas Gift
After spending a few minutes arranging the recruitment process and work matters for Gilderoy Lockhart, who was temporarily unemployed at home, Elena put down the books of "Magical Me" in her hands and turned her attention to the remaining people. Christmas gifts.
The second gift was a package from Hannah Abbott.
Compared to the books sent by Hermione, Little Tie Niu was finally reassured in this regard. The package contained handmade chocolates made by Hannah herself, but what made Elena a little strange was that The note that came with it.
[I received your gift and I like it very much! In the box are my first attempts at making chocolates. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Elena! Your best friend Hannah Abbott. 】
"Gift?" Elena frowned in confusion.
She didn't remember preparing any Christmas gifts for Hannah. She was so busy these days, how could she still be in the mood to think about Christmas matters? Almost all her attention was focused on the collapsed Red Alliance.
Shaking her head, Elena put the note in her hand aside, and temporarily put aside the doubts in her heart - after the holidays are over in a few days, and Hannah and the others return to school, they can find an opportunity to make some insinuations.
"Hermione, Hannah... As expected, this should be from Luna."
Elena glanced at the remaining gift boxes. One of them had a brightly colored comic greeting card on it, and a small envelope with exquisite packaging attached underneath. When she opened the envelope, there was a thick stack of developed photos inside.
From the early morning at Hogwarts to the night at Hogwarts; from the lively and noisy auditorium to the quiet and relaxing girls' dormitory; from the mottled corner of the city wall covered with vines to the edge of the dark forbidden forest with thick shrubs... I don't know At some point, Luna quietly recorded the entire Hogwarts scene with the camera in her hand.
In every photo, you can see the exquisite smile of a little angel with silver-white hair.
"Luna, it's really..."
Elena sat on the carpet, looking through the photos taken by Luna one by one, her lips curled up happily.
Although before opening the Christmas gifts, she had always felt disapproving because she had forgotten to send the gifts, so she naturally did not expect to receive any gifts in return, but after opening these gifts, she suddenly felt really good.
"Huh? Strange, it's a similar situation again."
After seeing the magic photos developed by Luna, Elena casually opened the greeting card and glanced at it, slightly stunned.
The content of the note that Hannah sent before was similar. In the greeting card that Luna sent, she also mentioned "her gift" and expressed that she liked it very much. Sister Elena has been her closest friend in the past ten years.
"really weird……"
Soon, Elena, who had finished unpacking all the packages, sat on the carpet and murmured softly thoughtfully.
Unexpectedly, among the pile of gifts, there were only two gifts from Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
In addition to her three best friends, there were also some small gifts from professors of various subjects in the school. Even Professor Snape, who had always been cold and cold, gave her a set of crystal potion bottles - even just one of them. Mrs. Weasley, who was lucky enough to be with her, also sent her a red "Weasley's" turtleneck sweater and a large box of her homemade fudge.
"What do old carrots and old potatoes mean?"
Elena looked around at the dazzling array of snacks, as well as the various quills, crystal potion bottles, several daily spell books scattered on the ground, and the weird greeting cards and replies between the lines. In her lake-blue eyes, Somewhat suspicious.
Forget it, she didn't expect to receive any Christmas gifts from the beginning anyway. Now she is quite happy, but this way, she will have to return gifts every Christmas in the future.
What a headache.
Elena shook her head and stopped thinking.
…
A moment later, the Gryffindor common room.
If the girls' dormitory is completely dominated by Elena, then it can be said that almost half of the Gryffindor lounge is now occupied by red - looking around, almost everywhere in the lounge is filled with Weasleys boy.
Percy Weasley, the eldest, sat at the square table against the wall, quietly reading a heavy book.
Near the door, the twins who had just returned from the snow outside were standing at the door shaking their wizard robes. Judging from the pile of white snow scattered beside the entrance, it seemed that the two had just experienced an extremely exciting experience. Snowball fight.
As for Ron Weasley, he and Harry were occupying the most comfortable armchairs by the fire, playing wizard chess and eating all the food that could be poked with a barbecue fork - Bread, mushrooms, sausages, chicken legs...
As the first-year wizards who are at the bottom of the food chain in the entire academy, it is difficult for them to occupy the best seats in the common room so leisurely. This is usually a privilege reserved for senior students.
Crash--
In this leisurely atmosphere, a small figure staggered down the girls' spiral staircase on the right, holding a pile of snacks that were taller than she was, and then buried himself in the lounge with a clatter. The very center position.
"Merry Christmas, everyone...this is the gift I received. Let's eat it together!"
Elena pushed the snacks away from her head, popped her head out of the candy pile, looked at the little wizards around her and said with a smile.
"Eh?! Sister Elena, you finally showed up."
Harry, who was staring at the chessboard in deep thought, suddenly stood up and looked at the white-haired dumpling that suddenly appeared with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hey! Harry! The game isn't over yet!"
"Even if it's a draw, we still have about the same number of chess pieces left."
Harry, who was finally freed from the chess game, waved his hand and said quickly - as a child who was new to Wizard Auto Chess, these days, he was almost pressed to the ground by Ron and rubbed against him without any retaliation. room.
Now that he finally saw Elena, who had been elusive for the past few days, Harry naturally would not miss this rare rest time.
"A draw?! You have the nerve to... Even if I give you another knight and a bishop, we still can't draw."
Ron curled his lips contemptuously, with a look of pride on his face.
"Okay, Ron. Don't bully Harry. It's wrong to abuse people. Huh? This is..."
Elena glanced at the look of help in Harry's eyes, smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to say something, her eyes fell on the chess pieces in Ron and Harry's hands, and she suddenly let out a strange light.
If she remembered correctly, although Ron had brought wizard chess to school, it was already a very old set of chess pieces. It looked tattered and was particularly impressive - according to Ron. This is the wizard chess left behind by his grandfather.
But now it has been replaced with a brand new set of black and white marble chess pieces, which look particularly exquisite and beautiful. At this time, Ron's queen is standing next to Harry's shivering soldier, gearing up to kill him.
"Oh, this is what you gave me, eldest sister! It's so great. I'll be so jealous when Seamus comes back!"
Following Elena's line of sight, Ron nodded with joy, then scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Sister Elena, you gave me such an exquisite and expensive gift, but I accidentally forgot your Christmas gift. I will make up for it next year - otherwise, I can bake some chicken wings for you. Apologize?"
"By the way, there's also the Quidditch manual you gave me, eldest sister. It's also great." Harry on the side also looked a little embarrassed.
"……It doesn't matter."
Elena was silent for a moment, raised her eyebrows, and responded with a smile.
"As long as you like it..."
She suddenly understood what Dumbledore and Grindelwald had given her as a Christmas gift.
