From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

The Hogwarts Express departs at 6pm and arrives at King's Cross Station at 12am.

The departure time of this train is not very good, because the little wizards do not have time to have a good dinner at school, and are often sleepy and hungry after arriving at their destination.

However, there are historical reasons for this arrangement.

It is said that the Hogwarts Express once departed at 11am on December 24th, the day before Christmas. The departure time is the same as the one at the beginning of school.

However, it takes about six or seven hours for the train to reach London's King's Cross Station, and it is already evening after arriving.

With young wizards' families scattered all over the world, many Muggle families and families who are not good at Apparition have to use the Muggle way to get home. So many families further away from London may not be able to make it in time for Christmas Eve dinner.

Therefore, many parents expressed their opinions to Hogwarts, so much so that the train departure time was moved to the evening of the previous day. This way, even if they arrive at the station very late, it leaves the little wizards a whole day to rush home without giving them the chance to miss the Christmas Eve dinner.

……

The night sky was exceptionally clear after the heavy snowfall, and the sky was already full of stars when the Hogwarts Express arrived at King's Cross Station.

Xiwen said goodbye to his three roommates and left the car.

Since he was not burdened by luggage, he jumped out of the car easily and walked to the platform.

Through the special stone brick wall with the words "Platform Nine and Three-Quarters" hanging on it, Sivan finally arrived inside King's Cross Station.

It can only be said that King's Cross Station is indeed one of the railway stations with the largest passenger volume in the country. Even in the middle of the night, there are still people coming and going in an endless stream.

Xiwen searched among the crowd and soon discovered Sandrine's figure.

It must be said that Sandrine is too easy to spot in the crowd. Wearing a purple trench coat, she stood elegantly next to a wall, looking away. The aristocratic style is clearly visible, and even though she is dressed in Muggle clothes, she still feels out of place with her surroundings.

The passers-by who passed by could hardly resist paying attention to her, which made her frown impatiently.

Xiwen walked forward quickly, smiled and waved.

Only then did Sandrine unfurl her eyebrows and come over to give Xiwen a hug.

"Why are you wearing such thin clothes? Are you cold?" As soon as they met, Sandrine began to greet her.

"It's not cold." Xiwen looked at his thick sweater and cotton jacket and didn't feel that his clothes were thin at all.

"Wearing such thin clothes, I might get frozen accidentally." Sandrine didn't believe him at all and said to herself. "Let's go home quickly. You're still young, so don't get cold!"

Xiwen was helplessly pulled out of the station by Sandrine, found a hidden alley and walked there.

In this deserted alley, the house elf Milliran appeared and said respectfully in a sharp voice: "Dear Master Xiwen, it's a pleasure to see you again!"

Because House Elf Milly is not old, and Sivan and Sandrine treat her well, her skin is not as rough and full of wrinkles as most house elves, but looks very smooth. In addition, she looks pretty smart, so she looks quite cute.

"Hello Milly!" Xiwen smiled and nodded, making Milly very excited.

"Okay, Milly. Take us home quickly." Sandrine said quickly, fearing that Xiwen would catch a cold.

"Milly obeys your orders, ma'am!" Milly replied immediately.

Then she took one of Xiven's and Sandrine's hands with her left and right hands, and with a "bang" sound, the three of them disappeared.

……

The Rozier family estate, like other purebloods, has anti-Apparition spells in place for security reasons. So Sandrine couldn't bring Sivan back home by apparating herself, so she could only ask the house elf Millie to do it for her.

As soon as he got home, Xiwen relaxed and collapsed on the soft wool carpet. He felt lazy all over and was so comfortable that he didn't want to get up.

Sure enough, no matter how good your living conditions are outside, you will feel as if all your burdens have been lifted when you return home, and it is extremely relaxing!

……

A good night's dream.

The next day, Xiwen spent several hours making the unfinished alchemy products, and then stuffed them into different gift boxes.

After all, he has not studied alchemy for a long time, so the gifts he makes are relatively simple alchemical products. Most of them are adding some ancient runes to the purchased objects to form some simple magic circuits, so that they have a small part of the alchemical products. feature.

He originally wanted to make a traceless expansion space container for each of his roommates, but after thinking that it was illegal to use the traceless expansion spell privately, and his own limited ability to control such a container, he gave up the idea. idea.

After thinking about it, he prepared an exquisite silver wristband for each of his three roommates, with the same rune circuit engraved on it. When activated with magic power, it would emit green light, which was very beautiful.

Think about it, several little wizards in a dormitory activate their wristbands to emit green light at the same time when they go out at night. They are all in the same dormitory! ...Of course, Xiwen would not admit that he was just too lazy to come up with more types of gifts.

As for Elsiona's gift, it was a custom-made landscape ball. The transparent glass ball is filled with crystal clear liquid, and a mini Hogwarts Castle stands in the liquid.

Xiwen personally carved a rune circuit into this gift. When the magic power is activated, countless light spots will fall down from the top of the glass ball until they fall over the castle and disappear.

In addition, Xiwen playfully gave Miranda a pair of exquisite and beautiful metal glasses. He felt that Miranda could completely abandon the black-rimmed glasses that made her look dull.

As for the gift for Dumbledore, Sivan hesitated between books and sweets for a long time before he came up with a creative idea - a blind box of sweets! That is, put candies of different flavors in it and shake it. When you open the box, you will get a random candy. Sivan thought this suited Dumbledore very well!

As for Professor Slughorn's gift, Xiven didn't bother to think about it. He directly asked Sandrine to help him open a certificate of 50% discount for the family-owned store, and then asked Owl to mail it.

In order to send out many Christmas gifts, Jabi and several other owls at home were very busy and had to make another trip as soon as they got home. This made them growl in displeasure.

Xiven chatted with Sandrine comfortably, with a calm smile on his face.

The annual Christmas is coming tomorrow!
