The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

PS: Well, I should also have a gift, right?Like recommendation votes or something?

(?ˉ?ˉ?)

……

The next day, Link was awakened by the noise of his roommates.

This is almost impossible in normal times, because it is a holiday now, and his roommates will not wake up unless they sleep until noon every day.

But today is different, because today is Christmas.

Every year on Christmas Eve, house elves always traditionally sneak gifts sent to Hogwarts from all over the world to the foot of the little wizards' beds to create an atmosphere of surprise.

So when Link opened his eyes, he saw his roommates laughing and opening gifts, and a pile of gift boxes at the foot of his bed.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, Link sat up from the bed.

Last night he thought about his current situation in detail and made a study plan for himself.

Among them, regular combat spells such as 'Expelliarmus', 'Shattered to Bones', 'Burning Flame', and 'Armor Protection' must be learned.

Although these magic spells have basically no development value, they can be quickly converted into combat effectiveness as long as they are mastered, which is very suitable for Link's current needs.

There are also ESP spells and Occlumency.

Among them, Occlumency is the most critical. This ultra-difficult skill is not actually a curse, but a special ability.

It can completely seal off the user's brain, thereby rendering ineffective brain-invading spells such as Legilimency.

At the same time, Occlumency can also keep the user absolutely calm and rational. This is what Link values ​​most because it can perfectly cooperate with the super-sensory spell.

Link estimated that if he could master Occlumency, it would be a piece of cake to turn on the Supersensory Spell throughout the battle.

But the problem is that the difficulty of obtaining these magic spells is too high.

It's easy to talk about 'Expelliarmus'. Even if the professors don't have time to teach or are unwilling to teach, he can still ask Cedric to introduce other seniors to study.

But Occlumency is different.

There are only two of them in all of Hogwarts!

One is Dumbledore and the other is Snape!

These two are not easy to talk to.

For a moment, Link felt a little distressed.

But at this moment, John suddenly came to Link's bedside.

"Link! Merry Christmas!"

Link, who was thinking about something, was startled by the sudden sound, but when he reacted, he found that not only John, but also several of his other roommates had come over.

At this time, they each raised a gift box in front of Link.

"Is this... for me?"

"Of course! Take it quickly!"

Link was a little confused, but John and the others ignored it and stuffed the gifts into Link's arms.

"Link, we don't have much pocket money, and I hope you don't mind it."

John scratched his head in embarrassment. Link gave each of their roommates a prank gift package from the Jumping Magic Joke Shop, which made the gifts they gave Link seem a bit shabby.

However, Link didn't care about this and opened their gifts directly in front of everyone.

This is a British and American custom. They like to tear it apart in person. Link still knows this.

When John's gift box was opened, what was revealed was a golden snitch that had not yet been activated.

This made Link open his mouth in surprise.

Because he knows this stuff.

This was a match ball used in one of the few victories of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team last year. John was almost beaten to death trying to grab it.

This can be said to be John's most precious thing. Usually he wouldn't let anyone take a look at it, but this time he gave it directly to Link.

This gift is nothing short of important.

Link put it away solemnly, and then opened other people's gifts.

As expected, most of the gifts given by the other roommates were items that, although not very expensive, were of great significance to them.

"Thank you! I like your gift very much!"

Link said with a laugh, and after speaking, he warmly gave John and the others a hug.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the originally serious atmosphere in the dormitory became lively again.

"Link, please open the other gifts and take a look!"

"Yes, Link! Let us also rise to the world!"

After the hugs, the roommates said one after another that they knew that Link's family was very wealthy, so they were very curious about what kind of gifts he would receive.

Link did not disappoint them. After smiling slightly, he began to open the gifts at the foot of his bed.

This is a lot of work, because Link's gifts are really numerous.

But the process was very enjoyable.

Because except for the greeting cards sent by Harry, Ron and the Weasley brothers, the gifts given by others were all in line with Link's wishes.

Among them, the gift from his cheap mother, Mrs. Foley, is undoubtedly the most expensive. It is a set of expensive wand storage holsters. After you tie it to your wrist, you only need to release a little magic power and the wand inside will become like The hidden sword in Assassin's Creed ejects.

Moreover, it has also been solidified by the alchemist with a flying spell, which can quickly recall Link's wand even if it is knocked away.

Professor Sprout gave Link a pot of pink silver butterfly flower that she cultivated personally.

The flowers of this extraordinary plant last all year round and their enchanting fragrance has a soothing and calming effect.

Emily gave Link a whole box of high-end pumpkin cakes! ! !

This makes Link very happy. He recently found that he likes to eat this stuff more and more.

Hermione's gift was a copy of "Standardized Potion Production", with the title page also reading:

When making confusion potion, the valve of the small magic blast furnace really only needs to be turned three times. If you don’t believe it, read this book!

Receiving this gift made Link dumbfounded.

Of course he still remembered what happened when he and Hermione met for the first time, but he didn't expect Hermione to be so worried about it until now.

Smiling and shaking his head, Link finally moved his eyes to the last gift box.

It was a simple gray box. Just from the appearance, you couldn't tell that it was a gift box. Link saved it until last because of its poor appearance.

Although there was no signature on the gift box, he had already roughly guessed that it was a gift from Snape now that he had opened it.

After all, Snape promised to give him something!

(Although he himself did not express it clearly)

Taking a deep breath, Link carefully opened the gift box.

To be honest, he had the highest expectations for Snape's gift. After all, Snape had hidden a lot of good things, and if a little bit leaked out, Link would be full.

However, when Link actually saw the items in the gift box, he was stunned.

Because lying at the bottom of the dusty gift box was a bottle of golden potion with a dense breath flowing through it.

There are a few words clearly written on the bottle of the potion - Elixir of Fortune.

Link's expression was a little complicated for a moment.

'Is this the master-disciple unity? '

Link silently complained that it was too coincidental that he and Snape both chose Elixirs as Christmas gifts for each other.

But this is actually a good thing for Link. After all, the effectiveness of the Elixir of Fortune is recognized as powerful. Now with its help, Link is more confident about his plan to hunt Voldemort.

With this in mind, Link silently tied the bottle of the elixir to a necklace and hung it around his neck.

At the same time, John and the others were completely in a state of sluggishness.

Don't underestimate them. Although they are all young wizards of Muggle origin, they have stayed at Hogwarts for more than a year and they know the most basic prices.

According to their speculation, the pile of gifts Link just received, even excluding the last bottle of high-end potion, would have cost more than 1200 gold galleons!

This is a huge amount of money that they never even thought about!

"Lin... Link, are all you pure-blood wizards so stupid?"

John stammered, but after hearing this, Link smiled brightly and said:

"No, to be precise, my family is relatively poor."

"Yes... is it?"

John felt that his outlook on life was a bit shattered.

But at this moment, a paper plane flew in through the unclosed door of the dormitory, and came to Link in front of everyone's curious eyes, turning into an origami mouth.

"Link! Come to my office! Now! Now!"

Snape's voice rang out, which surprised Link a little, because Snape's tone sounded a bit malicious.

But out of his slight trust in Snape, Link finally said goodbye to John and the others and went to the office alone.
