Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

The people who stay at Hogwarts during the holidays are always a minority, but despite this, everyone is looking forward to what kind of presents they will get for Christmas.

When Brian returned to the lounge from the Room of Requirement the next day, he saw Harry and Ron who were unpacking the gift boxes. George and Fred stood beside them, looking carefully at the book that Brian gave him. Recorded a whole paper full of magic patterns, from time to time they would chat in a low voice, and they seemed to be very satisfied with the beaming look.

Ron sat aside and giggled with the brand-new set of wizard chess pieces. He wanted to replace the worn-out set of chess pieces that had been handed down for several generations a long time ago, but of course Mrs. Weasley could not agree to such an unreasonable request, so clothed This gift from Ryan is extremely precious.

Afterwards, Harry also successfully opened the gift that Brian gave him, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.After thinking hard for a few days, Brian finally gave Harry a small golden snitch pendant, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of losing in the last Quidditch competition.

Brian shook his head, and was about to join them to experience the thrill of unpacking the blind box when George and Fred surrounded him: "My God, Brian, where did you find these things?"

Brian shrugged and said relaxedly: "I found quite a few magic lines of this kind in the library, and I think it might be helpful for your research on magic items."

Fred seemed to be grinning from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ears. He smiled and said, "Some of these coincide with the magic items we are about to develop. It's just..."

He paused to ease his excitement, pulled Brian aside with a mysterious expression, and whispered, "Brian, are you interested in working with me to develop magic items?"

Brian stood beside the two of them, and was studying which pile of blind boxes he had in front of him. Hearing Fred's words, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned around and took a look, and couldn't help saying, "But I won't ah!"

George's expression became strange, and he folded his hands and said leisurely: "But last time you provided us with the blueprint of the stretchable ears, this time these magic lines are also extremely useful."

Brian smiled and said, "I found these in the library. I don't have the ability to make them myself, sorry George."

Fred was stunned, and suddenly jumped up excitedly and said: "Brian, you can also be our magic item production consultant. In this case, you don't have to participate in the production, you just need to provide us with some ideas, when the time comes The money we earn will be divided equally between the three of us."

Brian lowered his head and thought about it. Fred and George are indeed two very talented wizards. It seems that the famous anti-spell glove in the future was made by them. It would be a good choice to join them. .

But it's still a long time before the two of them invent something truly useful, and the rewards of joining them now require even thinking about it.

Fred and George didn't bother to wait any longer, and immediately said directly: "That's it, Brian."

For these two guys, Brian nodded helplessly, and reminded in a low voice: "We still have to set up a copy of the contract magic, and I will prepare the sample of the oath at that time."

George and Fred looked at each other and laughed in unison: "That's the truth, of course there is no problem."

......

Being so meddled by the twin brothers, Harry and Ron had finished unwrapping all the presents by the time they left.Ron was holding the knitted sweater that Mrs. Weasley sent, while Harry was curiously looking at the strange thing that seemed to be flowing liquid in his hand.

Harry turned to look at Ron and asked, "What is this?"

This thing seemed to look like a piece of clothing, but Harry wasn't too sure, after all, no piece of clothing in his memory had such a streamlined liquid material.

Ron shook his head, expressing that he didn't know this strange silver-gray thing.Brian came over, glanced at it and suddenly became interested, and asked, "Can you show me Harry?"

"Okay." Harry nodded and held out his hand.

The famous Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak is a long cloak shape, which feels extremely cold to the touch, and the silver-gray fluid material does not reflect light at all.

Brian first weighed the invisibility cloak lightly, then swung it back to wrap it around his body, and then disappeared into the Gryffindor lounge in front of Harry and Ron.

Harry and Ron had never seen such a scene before, and they froze in place for a while, unable to say a word.

After a long while, Harry tried to reach out to the place where Brian disappeared, and Ron said in a trembling voice, "No... gone?"

"Can you hear my voice?" Brian's voice suddenly came from in front of Harry and Ron, and then a figure stepped out and handed the invisibility cloak to Harry and said, "Got it, this probably It's an invisibility cloak."

"I can hear it, but it's very quiet." Harry replied, taking the Invisibility Cloak.

After getting the answer, Brian has a general understanding of the performance of the invisibility cloak. It is probably suitable for invisibility within the line of sight, and only weakens the isolation of other aspects. It is still different from the invisibility in real fairy tales. A certain gap.

This is equivalent to a permanent version of the disillusionment spell that does not consume mana, somewhat similar to the Occlumency that is systematically arranged in Brian's brain.

Harry and Ron were already excited enough to try the Invisibility Cloak aside, and Brian shook his head and looked through the only Christmas presents left on the floor.

Eleanor and Ted gave him a bottle of black potion for frostbite, and of course a letter.The letter did not complain about Brian's bad behavior of not going home, but only told Brian not to get frostbite, and explained that the couple would go to visit friends far away and would not be at home during this time.

Harry's gift was the most interesting book he could think of, "Spells and Breaking Spells", which he had read at Lihen Bookstore.It seemed to him that Brian didn't like Quidditch, he didn't like wizard chess, and his only hobby seemed to be going to the library.

Ron sent a box of fudge from the wizarding world, and George and Fred sent a pair of finished retractable ears that have been successfully developed.

As for the large box of rose-colored heart-shaped chocolates sent by Hermione as a Christmas present, Harry and Ron booed for a long time when the present was opened.

The gift that surprised Brian the most was undoubtedly Dumbledore's reply letter. Dumbledore not only explained the alchemy problem raised by Brian in the reply letter, but also included a notebook similar to the introduction to alchemy in order to thank him for the wool socks he presented. .

Brian took a deep breath and secretly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, which was a surprise.
