Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

By the time Louis and the others returned from St. Mungo's Hospital, it was already approaching evening.

Because Voldemort was at large, Mr. Greengrass decided to let Astoria go with the Order of the Phoenix. Moreover, Louis had already told the little girl the location of the Order of the Phoenix. As one of the secret keeper, members of the Order of the Phoenix naturally It was impossible to let her go.

As a result, the white-haired girl could only spend Christmas with Louis and the others.

For her, she certainly had no problem with it, but as a young lady from the Greengrass family, it seemed she had never spent Christmas with so many people.

In previous Christmases, although she would receive various gifts, Osnet was often not at home, and several servants would not play with her due to their status. Her sister Daphne always pretended to be mature. appearance. This made her feel particularly lonely every Christmas.

This year is different. Looking at the group of friends from Gryffindor around me, I don't know why a warm atmosphere gradually fills my heart.

Of course, the bigger surprise was that after they returned, Louis pushed open the door of No. 12 Grimmauld Place and discovered a completely different Order of the Phoenix headquarters.

The rusty chandelier is no longer covered with spider webs, but is replaced with red and green ribbons. There is a snowflake roof made by magic on the ceiling. Sirius and Arthur are decorating it from nowhere. Christmas tree.

Cyril is also here, with a string of scarves hanging under his slightly terrifying face. He is using magic to put decorations on every wall in the house.

Raven was also actively helping to give Christmas hats to the statues of house elves. The little girl even waved excitedly at them when she saw them coming in.

Harry's special training had ended an hour ago, but judging from his expression and Snape's paralyzed face, it seemed that the effect was not very good.

"Ah, you're back." Mrs. Weasley hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, "Dinner will be ready in half an hour, and everything is almost decorated here. Oh, by the way, I was in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to follow you. As you said, the gifts have been placed in Louis’ room, you can go and open them now, including yours, of course.”

Mrs. Weasley pointed at Astoria, causing the girl to be stunned for a moment.

"I?"

"Yes, dear." Mrs. Weasley said firmly, "Okay, go and take it apart before I let you work."

Ron raised his arms and cheered, chanting "Long live mom."

When several children rushed to the room on the second floor excitedly, there were piles of gifts, neatly arranged around, with everyone's name marked on them in envelopes.

"We have gained a lot this year." Ron had already rushed to the gift that belonged to him and opened his first gift, "Thank you so much Harry, this is..."

"The broomstick and compass." Harry said as he opened his gift. "I think it's quite practical."

"That's interesting, buddy. How can it be like Hermione? She gave me an exercise book?"

"I also received the same one." Harry looked at the notebook in confusion, and when he opened it, he even heard the sound of "Today's work is done today."

It's indeed very Hermione's style, but shouldn't this kind of gift be used to drug Neville?

The girls were opening gifts in another room, and they didn't know what was happening on the boys' side.

"Maybe you are going to take the O.W.Ls exam this year. She doesn't want you to miss useful information." Louis hesitated. He also received a gift from Hermione, but it was different from the two boys. , Hermione gave him a quill with memory. It can automatically copy all the words written by the writer and transcribe them by itself.

"Okay, then you have to thank her for me."

Ron muttered and continued to flip through his gifts.

The few gifts Louis received were nothing special. Harry gave him a splicable disposable wand, and Ron gave him a crystal ball as usual, which is said to be able to see through the inner thoughts of the person opposite.

Of course Louis couldn't see anything except the vast white patch.

He also received a small card from Natasha, with pictures of Astoria, Louis, her and Daniel. He didn't know if Elise with this style of painting inside her could help her.

However, there was also a larger item in the pile of gifts. It was written on it that it was given to him by Messelis and Cyril. It looked like a broomstick.

"Such a big thing? Open it and take a look?"

The packaging was quickly opened, and what fell to the ground was the most familiar thing to the three of them.

"Another Firebolt? Damn it!"

Ron couldn't help but curse. When did Firebolts become so worthless?

"No, this is not an ordinary Firebolt." Harry sighed. Although he didn't know much about flying broomsticks, he had dealt with Firebolts out of hobby, and he knew what the structure of an authentic Firebolt was.

"This is more like an improved combination of the Starfinger and Firebolt that Lewis used before, and its appearance is more like a Firebolt." He stroked the broomstick as if he was looking at a piece of art.

But making a broom is easy, but the most difficult thing is to modify it. To combine the advantages of two brooms, almost no one in the world can do it.

Unless that person is a true broomstick master.

Louis didn't know how Messelis did it, and there was nothing written on the note. She just said that this was a gift that her Cyril had prepared for a long time.

And since the ban incident occurred, the Star Whisperer has been in Meseles' hands. It seems that they started planning from that time. . .

Harry and Ron continued to play with the piece of art, while Louis walked towards the remaining pile of gifts, with Astoria's gift buried far below.

It was a very inconspicuous small box, much worse than the large package of brooms given by Meselise. Of course, the value of a gift cannot be measured by its area.

He didn't expect Astoria to give him anything expensive, after all, this was the first time he received a gift from her, and he didn't even mind that girl giving herself to him.

Louis opened the box. Astoria didn't seem to write anything on the card. She scrawled it for a long time, and finally left only one sentence: This thing is for you.

It was more like her character. Louis shook his head. She was not good at expressing her emotions.

Lying inside the box is a necklace, and the pendant underneath is a ruby ​​droplet made of blood-red orbs.

What flows inside is more like a drop of blood, glowing blood red and extremely beautiful.

Louis turned the card over to the back, where it read:

The tradition of the Greengrass family is to make a drop of one's own blood into a personal treasure, which represents a kind of recognition and love for the other person. From then on, they will never be separated and stay together for life. No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together and bear it together.

The words below were so small that Louis had to squint to see the signature:

Love you, Astoria.
