Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 101 Sea King
It's not that Fish was stingy and didn't want to give it, but that Professor McGonagall suddenly asked him to give him a gift, which confused Fish.

In Kitty's concept, Christmas should be a day when other people give gifts to him, why suddenly he has to give gifts to others?

"This is the etiquette between friends. Although no one will say anything if you don't give it, but Fish's friends will be very happy if they receive a gift from you on Christmas."

Professor McGonagall explained patiently while playing with Fish's cat ears and cat tail.

"You don't need to send elders like me and Dumbledore, you just need to consider those friends who are about your age."

"Friends who are about the same age... Meow like Scarhead and the others?"

Fish stretched out his hands to cover his cat ears, not letting Professor McGonagall continue pinching them, and tilted his head to think for a while.

"In that case, Fish would have to prepare a lot of presents..." He frowned in distress. ω

Regrettably withdrawing his hand on Fish's head, Professor McGonagall could only hold his tail and twist it back and forth, while saying, "It's okay, you make a list, and I'll prepare gifts for you."

"Hmm..." Fish started counting with his fingers, "Scarhead, little fat man, red-haired No. [-], [-], [-], Hei Wa, explosion..."

The first thing Fisch thought of was naturally his five roommates and the twins who went through confinement together.

"Wait, did you miss someone?"

"Meow?"

"The Weasleys still have Percy. You gave away the other three, and he's the only one left out. It'll make him very sad."

Professor McGonagall still admires Percy, otherwise he would not recommend him as a prefect.

"But number one is much older than me, isn't it Minerva, you said that you only need to send someone of the same age?"

Fish tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well... I said about the same age, including students of all grades."

Professor McGonagall had no choice but to make further corrections.

"Oh...then there's Red One, curly hair, big head, big stupid, chunky..."

"Three-eyed sisters, mouse teeth, round face, ponytail No. [-], braid No. [-], biscuits, cream, goblet..."

As Fish counted down one by one, Professor McGonagall tried hard to match Fish's nickname with the real owner, but gradually, she seemed to feel that the more she heard it, the more something was wrong...

Didn't Fish mention too many girls?

But thinking about the inexplicable affinity and cute appearance of his cat, and the fact that he is usually dominated by girls, this situation is understandable.

Understandable, Professor McGonagall couldn't help sighing, "Fish, when you grow up, you can't play with girls' feelings at will."

"Meow? Minerva, what are you talking about meow?" ω

"It's nothing," Professor McGonagall shook his head with a grin. Fish couldn't understand this at all, and she was thinking too much about talking to him about it. She interrupted quickly: "You should continue to count people, and you will send them off immediately." With so many presents, we have to spend a lot of time preparing them."

"Oh..." Fish shook his ears, and didn't take what happened just now to his heart. He continued to lower his head and raised his fingers, "Fishhead, squinting eyes, Comey, Loris, Lu Wei, Banban, Fox, Fang, Brandwadden, Uuu, Celestia, Austin, Buckbeak, Mork..."

Hearing that Fish suddenly called out names instead of nicknames, Professor McGonagall couldn't turn the corner for a while, and was still thinking about who the students were who called these names, and it took a long time before he realized it, Fish said It's his animal friends.

"Your animal friends don't have to send..."

Professor McGonagall, dumbfounded, stopped Fish who was still citing his name.

"Meow?"

"Because they don't celebrate Christmas, this is a habit only on the human side, so you don't need to give them gifts."

Knowing that Fish is still treating himself as a cat, Professor McGonagall specially considered his words in order to take care of his mood, explained to Fish, and then specially added: "Of course, if you really want to You can also give it, I will help you prepare a gift together."

"The horse people don't celebrate Christmas either?"

Fish is not as sensitive as Professor McGonagall thinks, and he usually exchanges things with those animal friends, so it’s okay not to prepare special gifts for Christmas, but he just thinks that the appearance of the centaur is closer to that of a human, and there are many specialties. asked a question.

"Yes, the horse people have their own festivals, but if there are horse people living in human society, they will not reject celebrating Christmas together. The festival is originally for everyone to get together and have fun."

"Meow like us?"

"Yes, just like us."

Professor McGonagall nodded helplessly, knowing what he meant—just like their two cats lived among humans.

It seems that it will take some time to reverse Fisher's perception of himself...

Although helpless, Professor McGonagall is still very confident. Fish has grown a lot after coming to Hogwarts to study, and I believe that after a while, he will be able to truly integrate into it.

"What about Comey and the others?"

Fick didn't know what Professor McGonagall was worrying about, and he brought up the house elves again.

It seemed that Fish did not expect to give gifts to the house elves. Professor McGonagall was stunned for a while, and then replied after a while: "As long as it is not giving clothes, I think the elves will be very happy, and they are basically Together, we could just send them a big bag of chocolates, or something."

"Okay meow! Let's get rid of Lu Wei and the others, we need to prepare..." Fisher silently counted the human friends just counted, and then added the one for the collective elves, raised his hands high, and compared with each other 210. Comparing to the four with one hand, he shouted: "A total of [-] four gifts!" (●ΦωΦ●)
"Really... Fisch has so many friends."

Professor McGonagall twitched the corners of his mouth, twisted Fish's tail, and felt a little headache. This was almost two-thirds of the school's students. It was a happy trouble to have such a charming boy.

Professor McGonagall didn't care about money. He just prepared more than 200 Christmas presents. As long as they don't send any valuables, it doesn't cost much. The problem is that they have to pack them one by one and write greeting cards.

Thanks to her exclusion of those animal friends, even so, it would take a long time to prepare the four gifts for 210.

Also, the school owls are supposed to be exhausted over Christmas...even with house-elves to help, it's still a lot of work.

Maybe I will go to Hogsmeade sometime and borrow the owl there.

After figuring out how to send gifts at that time, Professor McGonagall then asked: "What kind of gifts does Fish plan to give to his friends?"

"Eating meow?"

Fish shook his ears, and the first thing he thought of was food.

Professor McGonagall nodded silently. This was very Fishy style, and it was relatively simple. She only needed to buy a large batch of snacks from the Duke of Bee.

As for letting Fish choose gifts according to everyone's preferences...

Even Professor McGonagall sometimes wants to be lazy, and Fisher should worry about this kind of thing in the future.

"I see, I will prepare a gift for you."

Professor McGonagall, who didn't intend to cause more trouble for himself, continued to say to Fish: "But you need to write the greeting card yourself."

"Meow! Why does meow still write?!" ∑(●ΦДΦ●)
If you want to ask what Fish is most resistant to at present, apart from Minerva's nagging, it is definitely writing.

And Professor McGonagall also knew that Fish didn't like to write, but she just wanted to find a chance for him to get used to it.

So Professor McGonagall patiently explained: "This is also a part of the festival. Greeting cards represent your holiday wishes to your friends. Among the Christmas gifts you received before, didn't there also be greeting cards given to you by others?"

Fish recalled that there were indeed some small cards in the Christmas presents in the past, but he was always resistant to words, so he didn't read them carefully at all.

"Minerva can't write meow for me?"

Fish gently tugged on Professor McGonagall's clothes, with a pair of cat ears hanging down on his head, looking pitiful.

"Sorry, no!"

Professor McGonagall rejected Fisher's request with great perseverance.

"Fish doesn't like Christmas anymore meow!" (●ΦДΦ●)

　In the original book, Harry and Ron didn't seem to have given anyone a Christmas gift in the first three years, only mentioning it when they were in the Goblet of Fire. Of course, it may be that Rowling didn't write it.

　　But in the list of gifts that Harry received in the past three years, there were no Ron's, only the sweater and snacks from Molly, maybe Ron didn't have much money and couldn't afford it at that time.
