Admiral of Hogwarts

"This is-" Just as Hugo was looking at the Christmas gifts one by one, Hermione suddenly took out a gold bracelet inlaid with gems from a very beautiful silver box.

Hugo could tell at a glance that this was a protective bracelet made by the ship girls using the branches and leaves of the golden oak tree and the scales of the red and white dragons. So he asked knowingly, "Is this gold?"

"Oh, probably not." After a brief inspection, Hermione said relaxedly. After all, she was only a teenage girl now, so she would naturally be wary of expensive gifts.

"The whole thing feels very light, but it feels a bit like metal. So I think it may be made of a relatively light metal like aluminum that is plated with gold."

"As for the gemstone above, it doesn't feel like a stone, but feels like plastic. I've seen this type of jewelry in Hogsmeade before, and it's said to be artificially made from some kind of gum."

Obviously, human beings' love for various precious metals and jewelry comes from the heart, so Hermione also took a good look at the wizards' jewelry when she visited Hogsmeade before, so she also knew some of the wizards' specialties.

"This thing was sent by Veneto. It is indeed a good Christmas gift." After looking at the mailer on the wrapping paper, Hermione nodded and said, then put the bracelet on her wrist.

It has to be said that after acquiring a large amount of information about alchemy and Ravenclaw's crown, the ship girls have mastered powerful alchemy technology. Therefore, even if there is a large amount of alchemical effects on this protective bracelet, there is basically no magic leakage.

Therefore, Hermione didn't notice the preciousness of this bracelet at all, but simply put it on her wrist as a beautiful little ornament with wizard characteristics.

In addition to Veneto, Firefly also gave Hermione a sharp sheathed dagger. According to the attached note, this dagger has a variety of magic attached to it and can easily cut through most things.

"Why do I feel that you have many more Christmas gifts this year than in previous years?" When they were almost done opening the gifts, Hermione suddenly raised her head and said.

After all, compared with the gifts Hugo received at Christmas in previous years, this year's pile of gifts was much more visible to the naked eye than in previous years. Even just looking at the size of the gifts, it was obviously several times more.

"I think it may have something to do with my second place in the last alchemy competition." Hugo said, stuffing the last mandrake powder in the box into his suitcase that had been casted by a space expansion spell. inside.

Hugo did not lie to Hermione on this point, because after the alchemy competition in the summer vacation, he, as the youngest contestant at the time, won second place, so he was naturally praised by many. People like it.

Therefore, after the competition, he received a large number of letters of various exchanges, including several famous alchemists who expressed their willingness to accept him as an apprentice.

Under this circumstance, Hugo naturally maintained contact with many alchemists and their students. Therefore, it is natural for both parties to give each other gifts at Christmas time.

Of course, the gifts given by the alchemists are just a reputation to the outside world. The bulk of the real gifts came from the ship girls, who finally found an opportunity to give things to Hugo while hiding their identities.

Fortunately, every gift we give has a gift in return, otherwise it would be too rude. "After all the gifts were collected, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and said. "I just don't know if other people will like the gifts we gave. "

"I can't believe it." While Hugo was talking to his sister, Harry, who was far away in Hogwarts, took out a beautiful broomstick from a long package.

This broom is his previous Nimbus Two Thousand. It had been broken into several pieces due to the attack of the giant squid in the Black Lake. However, after Hugo's repairs, it has been restored at least in appearance.

However, unlike the original broom, in order to repair the fatal damage on this broomstick, Hugo used a lot of precious metals to reconnect the damaged alchemical structure so that the internal structure of the broom could resume operation.

At the same time, with the help of the ship girls, the appearance of these newly connected alchemical structures was redesigned, and bas-reliefs were added to match the leaking metal wires and metal sheets, making the entire broom full of gorgeous rococo style.

"It seems that Hugo's level in alchemy is better than we thought. No wonder my two brothers have been making something with him." Looking at the broom suspended in mid-air, Ron also made a sound of surprise.

"After such modification, this broom has become a work of art. If it is sold in Diagon Alley, someone will definitely be willing to pay the price of a new Nimbus 2000 for this broom. In that case, your new broom--"

"I will never sell this broom. After all, it is my first broom and a gift from a friend." After listening to Ron's suggestion, Harry shook his head vigorously and said. "As for the broom, I'll always find a way."

At the same time, the company in Hogsmeade took Sirius, who had turned into a dog, to the jungle outside the town, and then Sirius turned into a human.

"I want to buy a broom for my godson." After turning into human form, the first words Sirius said to the company were related to Harry. "His old broomstick broke and the first game after Christmas was the Gryffindor game."

"Calm down, Blake." Looking at Blake, who was much better than before, but still had some mental problems, Enterprise stared at him, "Why did you buy Harry a broom? Don't forget that you are still wanted. ——”

"I can definitely buy Harry a broom through Gringotts transfer." Black looked disapproving. "For Gringotts Bank's senior customers, the goblins will take the money as soon as they see the mark, and they will keep the customer's confidentiality strictly confidential."

"This confidentiality procedure is very strict. Even the Ministry of Magic cannot trace the financial circulation of high-level customers. So no one will know that I gave Harry the new broom."

"Then, under what name did you give it to Harry?" Enterprise asked helplessly. "Don't forget that you are still suspected of wanting to kill Harry. Even I think you may have done something on this broom to commit murder."

"Damn, damn -" Because of this period of recuperation, Sirius's condition has improved somewhat. So after being told this by the company, I immediately reacted.

"If I were anonymous - no, that can't be the case. If I were anonymous, it would look more like the work of a dark wizard, but it wouldn't work if I pretended to be someone else -"

Sirius just muttered to himself and walked around in circles, looking more and more anxious.

"If it doesn't work, I have a plan here." The company also knew that Sirius was impulsive all his life, so in order to prevent him from making any bad plans, the company quickly thought of a way.

"What can we do?" Sirius stopped immediately after hearing what Enterprise said. Then he looked at the company with a pleading look on his face. After all, now he can only send gifts to his dear godson through the company.
