Chapter 39: The Magic World

The next morning.

Aaron opened his eyes. There were a dozen packages of different sizes on the corner of his bed. They should be his Christmas presents this year.

First, he opened the gift from his parents. The result was as he expected.

A postcard was the sunrise they saw when they were sailing on the sea.

"My dear son, isn't it beautiful? We originally planned to take a photo of the starry sky for you.

But I thought that you must open the gift in the morning, so I gave you a sunrise. May you always be full of vigor and vitality."

——Vico.

"Tsk! It's like this again." Aaron shook his head and put the postcard away.

A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is a token of love!

His parents knew Aaron's family situation best. They knew that he had everything, so they simply sent him such a commemorative gift.

The second package was sent by Gaius.

Aaron took a piece of paper from the gift box and smiled with satisfaction.

I can only say that the butler is worthy of being a butler. He directly sent the profit report of the small shop he opened in Diagon Alley in recent months.

In addition, there is a dragon illustration, which records the species, characteristics, and gathering places of all dragons known to the magic world. It is probably prepared for Abe. After all, it is a dragon with noble blood, and it is necessary to know which "distant relatives" it has.

The third package was sent by his uncle.

In the package was a white unicorn feather, which was also a material for making a wand.

Apart from these close people, the rest of the things were sent by some of his relatives. They were all kinds of strange, but much more practical than the first three.

Some people sent daggers, some sent clothes, some sent musical instruments, and some sent a funhouse mirror...

Someone else sent a snack gift package. As soon as it was taken out, a white figure stuck his face in it.

Aaron picked up Abe with disgust, and then pushed the gift package in front of it and rubbed it hard on its dragon head several times.

There was also one thing Hermione gave him, a set of dental tools, including a tooth cup, toothbrush, and toothpaste.

This made Aaron laugh and cry. His teeth were definitely quite healthy, but it was better than nothing.

......

The auditorium.

The students and professors who stayed on campus gathered here for the Christmas banquet.

The food for this festival was extremely rich, and everyone was eating very happily.

Aaron put Abe on the dining table, then picked up a gift box and walked to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, this is for you."

"Mine?" Professor McGonagall pointed at herself, a little flattered, "Christmas gift."

"I guess so!"

Professor McGonagall excitedly opened the box, glanced at it briefly, and then instantly closed it.

"Aaron, I admit that I like this gift very much, very much.

But I really can't take it, it's too precious."

"Professor, you misunderstood, I didn't say I was going to give it to you.

I just lent it to you, but you have to return it to me before the holiday." Aaron said seriously.

"Really?" Professor McGonagall was touched, and then quickly took the box into her arms, "Then I'll accept it. This is the best gift I've received in recent years."

"As long as you like it." Aaron smiled.

"Ahem!" Snape said coldly, "Some people seem to have forgotten that he is a student of Slytherin."

"Oh! Yes, this is yours, Professor Snape." Aaron took out a bottle from his pocket, "It contains the body fluid of a magical creature. I spent a lot of money to get it.

Of course it may be useful, or it may be useless.

Specifically, it depends on how you, the potion master, deal with it."

While Aaron was explaining, Abe, who was feasting on a turkey at the table, suddenly froze for a moment, and then sniffed the air with his nose.

It turned its head and glanced at the teacher's seat, with a little weirdness on its cute little face, and then continued to eat.

Snape did not avoid suspicion. He took the bottle from Aaron and sniffed it. Then his face changed slightly. "Aaron, what kind of magical creature is this?

This material is very... unique. I have never seen it before.

Or I have seen it but forgotten it.

But no matter which one it is, it can be said that this magical creature is particularly rare."

"Uh... I'm sorry I can't tell you this." Aaron said seriously. Everyone has their own secrets. He certainly can't tell Snape that the bottle contains Abe's saliva.

"Mysterious." Snape said, and then put the bottle in his pocket.

"Aaron, do you have my gift?" Professor Flitwick asked embarrassedly, "Of course, if not, just pretend I didn't ask."

"This one is still available." Aaron took out a brush and handed it over.

"This..." Professor Flitwick was getting more and more embarrassed, "If I'm not mistaken, the material of this pen tip is unicorn feathers!"

"Yes, I hope you like it."

"I like it so much."

"Mr. Gaius, maybe I shouldn't... ask this.

But, gifts, do you have any for me?"

Aaron glanced at Quirrell, who was sitting in the teacher's seat and speaking incoherently, and smiled awkwardly but politely, "Sorry, professor, I can't use the family's property during school.

Professor Snape's gifts were all obtained by me through personal channels, plus other gifts given to other friends, my money has almost been spent, so..."

"It doesn't matter, I know." Quirrell covered his mouth and said, showing a little grievance.

"I'm very sorry, professor, I didn't think about this.

Otherwise, I'll prepare another gift for you next Christmas." Aaron consoled with apology, but he was thinking that you would die after this school year, and burning a few pieces of paper for you next Christmas would be enough.

After leaving the teacher's seat, Aaron returned to his seat and began to enjoy the banquet.

After a while, Harry and Ron came over. They were wearing the same sweater as Percy, Fred and George.

"You are good friends indeed. You have the same taste in clothes!" Aaron teased, "It looks quite warm."

Harry smiled awkwardly. This was the second best gift he had ever received in his life. The first was a package sent to him by a stranger this morning. It contained his father's legacy, an invisibility cloak.

"Right!" Ron said proudly, "This was made by my mother. Every Christmas, we will receive such gifts, but this year Harry is one more.

By the way, Harry also received a special gift. Do you know what it is?"

"Ron!" Harry glared at him.

"Sorry, his gift is quite precious. He doesn't want too many people to know."

Aaron raised his eyebrows. If Harry hadn't stopped Ron in time, he would probably have made it known to everyone soon.

"Um... Merry Christmas, Aaron."

"Yeah! Merry Christmas." Aaron looked at Harry, "Just say whatever you want to say! I'm worried about you."

"Okay!

First of all, thank you for the gift you gave me. I like those pictures very much."

"Yes." Ron immediately interrupted, "That was the most affordable gift I have ever received in my life, a gold Galleon, a silver Sickle, and a copper Knut.

But why did you give me money?"

"Because that might be what you really want and what you urgently need, and Harry is not short of money."

"That makes sense!" Ron nodded in agreement.

"Ahem!" Harry coughed lightly, then glanced at the teacher's seat inconspicuously, and found that no one was paying attention to him before he spoke, "Then there is one thing I want to ask you, I want to go to the restricted area to find clues about Nicolas Flamel, so..."

"Puff!" Aaron almost spit out the half-eaten food, he looked at Harry in astonishment, "No way! You haven't given up yet?

I still say that I can't help you in this regard.

The restricted area is not for first-year students."

"But why can you go?" Ron said a little unconvinced, "Harry and I met you in the library before, and Ms. Pince took you Put it in the restricted area, don't you mean you are not a first-year student? "

Aaron turned his head, looked at Ron meaningfully, and then patted his shoulder, "Ron, people are different.

You know, our dean is very optimistic about me, and it only takes a few minutes to get a note. "

Harry's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly: "But Aaron, this matter is really important, I..."

"Stop, no matter how important it is, it has nothing to do with me." Aaron said seriously, "I can give you some help in some aspects, but I absolutely can't in some aspects.

Again, it's too early for you to go to the restricted area. "
