Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 85 Christmas Presents
Li En was sitting in the snow at this time, looking at the strange things around him, he wanted to scold his mother in his heart.

This trip to the ruins was really anticlimactic, not to mention nothing, and even lost a mouthful of Blessing Elixir.

By the way, I have more doubts.

Lien stood up, the sky was already dark, and snowflakes the size of goose feathers were falling one after another.Everything around is a vast expanse of whiteness, and even if you want to find some iconic landmarks, you can't find it.

"Where is this exactly?" Lien looked around, and what caught his eyes was the white snow on the ground, which was the snowflakes still floating in the air.

"Forget it, don't care, make a magic mark first, and wait until you have enough strength."

Lean still gave up the idea of ​​identifying the location, and instead injected some magic power into the ground to form a rune.

This kind of rune uses a circuit structure to minimize energy consumption, and even a trace of magic power can last for more than ten years.

After doing all this, Lean Apparated to his cabin in the woods.

"Welcome back, master."

When Lean entered the house, Pudding was already waiting at the door with a hot towel in his hand.

"Master, wipe it off." When Pudding saw Lien coming in, he quickly handed over the towel with both hands, and then hurriedly helped Lien take off his outer coat.

Lean took the hot towel, wiped his face, and let out a sigh of relief.

Pudding took the towel from Lien and said respectfully, "Master, I've prepared dinner. In addition, your friends also sent letters today, and I put them on the table in the study."

Because this is the first time for Pudding to go home after he came to this house, it took a lot of effort for Pudding to prepare a wonderful dinner today.

Pudding looked at Lien from the side, thinking that he probably had nothing to order, so he quietly disappeared at the door.

This is the cardinal rule of house-elves, which is to serve their masters well when they cannot see them.

Lean sat on the table, looked at the small but exquisite meals in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the wizards would do everything possible to get a house elf.

This kind of service is unstoppable.

A fireplace in the wall was burning with pine logs, giving off a pleasant fragrance.Occasionally, a "beep" sound was made, and a spark exploded.

Lean was eating under the reflection of the fire, while opening his Christmas present, which was delivered by the owls last night.

The first thing to open was sent by Kex, which was a magic book collected by the Shaker family.

Under normal circumstances, books collected by this family would not be lent out to others, let alone given away.But Kesi was planning to turn against his family now, so he couldn't care less about it.Kex could clearly see the difference between not paying attention to his family and caring about Lien.

Then there was Beaver's gift, which was also a magic book. Lean guessed that the two should have discussed it.

There are also a bunch of gifts from some unknown people below, all pure-blood family children, who may be the people who recently brought Kex and Beaver closer to the team.

Lean counted, and there were eight gifts, which meant that eight little wizards had joined Kex and Beaver's team, and it also meant that the number of this team had officially broken through double digits.

Don't think that ten people are very few. How many wizards are there in the wizarding world in China?And in such a short period of time, there is no doubt about the ability of Kex and Beaver to attract so many young wizards.

Lean took it all apart, and most of them were small bits and pieces, such as shorthand quills, meditation amulets and the like.

The other two were Christmas presents from the Grangers. They were a cloak and a top hat, which seemed to be a set.

"Help me put these things away, Pudding." Lean tapped his fingers on the table, and then all the presents disappeared and were put where they should be.

After packing up his things, Lean began to concentrate on what was right in front of him.

The pudding should have carefully considered Lien's food intake, and Lian was just full after eating all these things in front of him.

Without waiting for Lien's order, all the plates on the table disappeared, replaced by a pot of steaming, fragrant black tea and a piece of cream cake, with this strawberry as decoration on it.

After eating, Lean sat on the sofa to rest, and Pudding looked very hesitant in the corner beside him.

It rubbed its big, thick hands, and glanced at Lien from time to time.

"Pudin, if you have something to say directly." Lean noticed Pudding's abnormality.

Even with Lean's permission, Pudding still hesitated.Lien was not in a hurry and just waited for the pudding.

"Master, here is the bill for this year's plantation, please have a look at it." After speaking, Pudding handed over a booklet, which recorded the various entries and exits of the plantation in detail.

Speaking of which, Lean took advantage of this time.

The potions in this plantation are basically only mature in autumn and winter, and before that, insecticide potions and special fertilizers need to be spent.

But this year's expenditure was paid by the Malfoy family, and the final result was enjoyed by Lean.

"Your Excellency Malfoy is such a kind person." Lean simply flipped through the ledger and said.

It's no wonder that the three brothers and the Corey family can't wait to grab it. It's really a huge piece of fat, and it's roasted and ready to eat.

However, this also shows that the Malfoy family is not short of money. After all, a plantation that is about to be harvested is considered the worst, so it can only be said that the rest must be more valuable.

"That...Master... Pudding, Pudding also wants to give the master a gift." Pudding didn't leave after handing over the account book, but stood in front of Lien and said a little nervously.

"Huh?" Rin was a little surprised and subconsciously made a sound.

"Damn pudding, it's all pudding's fault, pudding shouldn't have such big dreams."

Pudding started to smash his head to the ground the moment Rian made a sound, but there was a thick carpet on the side of the sofa. Pudding felt that he was not punished, so he ran to the kitchen and picked up a rolling pin and began to beat his own head. head.

"Pudin... Pudding doesn't want to receive a gift from the master, it's just... it's just that the master is the best master in the world. Pudding just wants to express his respect for the master."

After a while, Pudding came out of the kitchen, beat himself with a rolling pin in one hand, slapped himself in the face with the other, knelt down in front of Rian and cried.

Lean only felt pudding's screams filled his ears.

"Bring it, and, shut your mouth and stand aside, this is an order!"
