Ashes of Hogwarts

Forbidden Forest first wrote a reply to his favorite disciple, saying that the two of them would arrive at noon.

After handing the reply to Hedwig, who had not appeared for a long time, the snowy owl spread its wings and flew outside the school, quickly disappearing into the sky.

Next it’s time to happily open gifts.In this life, Ash received a Christmas gift for the first time.

Everyone knew about his relationship with the Fireproof Girl, so their gifts were packaged together and sent to the office.

The first thing to be opened was Snape's gift box, because his was the most obvious and was placed on top.

There were a lot of bottles and cans, and Ash was dazzled by them.Most of Snape's potions have no effect on him because his own magic resistance is too high.But this doesn't stop him from continuing to send potions. Even if he doesn't need them, it's still a lot of gold galleons to sell.

But most of them were kept away by Ash, and those weird potions were often used by him as punishment and pranks on his students.

This time, Snape sent a double portion, which was very generous, and included many things like age-promoting potions.

Dumbledore gave him a cane made of mithril. This cane was made of the same material as Gryffindor's sword and had a narrow and slender body. He put the wand through the silver lion wand head with a ruby ​​in its mouth. This cane has the combined effect of a staff and a long sword.

I have to say that this gift suits Ash's taste very well, both in terms of workmanship and function.

The Fireproof Girl received a mithril necklace set with rubies, engraved with the protective magic that Dumbledore learned after absorbing the soul of the crystallized old man.The ruby ​​​​is also connected to Ash's cane, and it can be teleported to Ash instantly with just a little input of magic power.

Professor McGonagall gave him a set of expensive broom care kits. As an avid fan of Quidditch, she always hoped that Ash could realize the charm of Quidditch.As for the Fireproof Woman, she received an expensive robe tattooed with gold thread.

The rest of the things given by the professors were pretty much the same.Ash was surprised that he actually received a gift from Audio-Technica.

Probably reciprocating the love, Harry gave Ash and the Fireproof Girl a pair of exquisite single couple earrings, which he had asked Hagrid to customize early in Diagon Alley, and they were finally completed before Christmas.

As for Ron, I have to say that he gave Ash a surprise.There was only one photo in his gift box. Ron was standing next to the black lake with a silly smile on his face. Several accelerating magic lines could be faintly seen on the purple armor on his body.

What could be a better gift for a teacher than a student's hard work to achieve results.

Hermione sent a golden sun badge. It could be seen that she made it herself. It was not exquisite, but it was very thoughtful.There is also a pair of black lace gloves, which match the robe that the fireproof girl wears all year round.

Fortunately, Ash's gift had been delivered through the house elf last night.They are probably opening their own gifts now.

Putting on a luxurious robe, Ash and the firebender left the room.

In the open space outside the castle, the white snow was piled several feet thick.

Several young wizards who stayed in school were wearing armors and having a snowball fight.With a wave of the magic wand, the overwhelming snowballs hit the opponent like raindrops.Soon, several snowmen of different shapes appeared in the clearing.

Professor McGonagall looked at the students happily. It was vacation time. As long as it was not too egregious, the professors would choose to turn a blind eye to some minor violations of school rules.

"Oh, Professor Losric." Professor McGonagall saw Ash and she greeted him eagerly, "Thank you for your Christmas gift, I like it very much."

What Ash gave to McGonagall was a tender white branch. Professor McGonagall liked this magical prop that would not be consumed very much, especially because the effect of the tender white branch was related to deformation.

"Thank you. I also like the gift you gave me." Ash has not touched the Nimbus 2000 since he got it from Dumbledore. Now Ash wants to modify it.

How about flying with a sword?

Nodding and greeting the several students who greeted him, Ash held the fireproof girl's hand and apparated out of the school.

Only Hermione of the trio returned home.Harry still stayed at school with Ron as in the original book, although now there is no treasure room for them to discover.

He didn't apparate directly to London. Although it was an unexpected situation to come to visit him, he still had to follow the proper etiquette and prepare gifts.

Ash remembered that Hermione's parents were both dentists, a profession considered high-paying in the UK, so Ash just used Snape's potion to mix a bottle of red wine with the ability to enhance physical fitness.

It's not expensive, after all, it's a piece of your heart.

There were already taxis in London in the 90s, but Ash still took a horse-drawn carriage.The classic and luxurious carriage took the two people through the steel city, bringing a different atmosphere.

The Grangers' address was on the back of Hermione's letter, and the Grangers' dental clinic was also very famous.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of an independent three-story small foreign-style building.It can be seen that the conditions of the Granger family are really good. There is an open grassland in front of and behind the small mansion.

Knocking lightly on the door, Ash was waiting in front of the door, leaning on his cane.

He really liked this cane, and Lao Deng really understood his feelings.Ash only gave Dumbledore a pair of thick wool socks, and it seemed that he would have to compensate him during the Spring Festival.

The white door opened quickly, and it was little Hermione who opened the door.

The wizard hat on her head has been replaced by a red Santa hat, and the orange light shines outside the house, making it look very warm.

"Merry Christmas, Professor Losric, Professor Illya."

"Merry Christmas, Hermione, this is a gift for your parents." Ash and the fireproof girl were welcomed into the house by Hermione, who handed over the red wine in his hand.

"Thank you Professor."

Hermione ran upstairs, and soon the Grangers came running down.

The Grangers showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Ash and the Fireproof Girl.

Not only because they are professors at Hogwarts, but also because Hermione can be regarded as Ash's introductory disciple.

Strictly speaking, Hermione is Ash's only disciple, Harry and Ron are just incidental.

Perhaps because their daughter was already a little wizard, the Grangers became very interested in everything in the magical world.

They kept asking Ash about magic. Even Hermione knew this, but after all, none of the professors were reliable.

In the kitchen, the servants are busy.

Ash pulled out his wand from his cane and demonstrated a simple magic to the Grangers.

"The spark is shining brightly!"

With a "pop", Hermione turned off the big light in the living room, and brilliant starlight burst out from the tip of Ash's wand, which soon covered the ceiling, emitting a pleasing light.
