Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

Preparing Christmas gifts can be a bit of a headache.

Thousands of years ago, the era was not so particular. Everyone's main focus was on the feasts during the festival. According to the rules of the Muggle Church, there was a month-long practice similar to "fasting" before Christmas. , and then wait until Christmas to start the twelve-day carnival.

Feasts, dances, festivals, clown shows... Although the entertainment is much less than that of modern people, people are still having fun as much as possible. After all, this is one of the few happy times common people have throughout the year. It’s just that this lifestyle of practicing hard first and then indulgence is not very healthy.

Gifts are much simpler than now. Godric likes all kinds of armor, weapons, and armor; Helga likes recipes and cherished ingredients; Rowena can get by with books; he has no obvious preferences, gifts or anything like that. No one will be turned away.

After careful consideration, Les also prepared corresponding gifts for his friends.

Not to mention Daphne and Astoria, Les gave Astoria a snake-shaped bracelet with the same magic spell as Daphne's necklace. When it comes to preparing self-defense props for students, Rice doesn't favor one thing over another.

The Christmas gift Les prepared for Daphne was a quill with Latin auto-correction function. The Latin manuscript she translated last time left such a deep impression on Les that he felt it was urgent to give her such a quill.

He really didn't have the energy to give the little girl any more Latin grammar lessons, so he might as well give her a quill that could correct her mistakes!

Hermione, the child recognized by Ravenclaw, would naturally receive gifts. Rice bought several magical fairy tale books for her, hoping that she could relax after studying.

Les was also going to give Harry a gift - a set of broomstick maintenance tools, which he believed Harry would like. As for whether Harry's broom will explode into more powerful performance after being carefully maintained, and then beat the Slytherin team in the Quidditch match? Les didn't think it was something he had to worry about, since he couldn't beat it anyway.

For the other little wizards he knew and were familiar with, Les also prepared corresponding gifts, the main thing being that they were watertight.

However, a lonely old ghost trapped underground is destined not to receive a Christmas gift, because even if Les sends an owl express, the unlucky owl cannot pass through the seal of the dungeon. Les believed that Rowena would definitely understand. Anyway, they didn’t give each other many gifts before!

It was already late at night after the last gift was sent by the owl. Les returned to his bedroom and fell asleep in anticipation.

Les is still looking forward to what gifts he will receive: who can resist the temptation to tear open the gift packaging?

Early the next morning, after Les rolled over and sat up from the bed, his eyes were immediately attracted to the pile of gifts under the Christmas tree. He was not short of money, and these gifts were dispensable to him, but what made him happy was the fact of receiving them.

Les opened the gifts one by one and put them away with a smile. The gifts prepared by Daphne and Astoria were buried at the bottom.

Astoria's package looked bulging, and once Les got his hands on it, he knew it was probably something like clothes.

When she opened it, she saw that the little girl had actually knitted a scarf for herself.

Although there is no special pattern on the scarf, the stitching is neat and the color combination of silver and green is very nice. At first glance, it is a work that has taken a lot of thought.

Les happily tried on the scarf and found that it was quite comfortable. He immediately decided to use this scarf as his regular clothes.

The last package was Daphne's. Her package was round. After picking up the package, Les could not help but narrowed his eyes: Could this be——?

After opening the package, a foggy crystal ball actually rolled out from inside.

Les:? !

To be honest, he was shocked at first. He thought Daphne had found a way to repair the broken Ravenclaw crystal ball!

But soon his reason told him that this was impossible, because even with his level of magic, this was a large project with a low success rate. If Daphne could fix the crystal ball in half a semester without telling him, then he would definitely go to the principal's office with his wand and block the door, so that Dumbledore could abdicate immediately.

After carefully observing the crystal ball that Daphne gave him, Les was surprised: although this crystal ball was far inferior to the one in Ravenclaw, it was still quite exquisite.

A traceless expansion spell was cast on the inside of the crystal ball, and a Hogwarts castle model was stuffed inside.

"I am becoming more and more proficient in playing the Traceless Expansion Spell." From this crystal ball, Les saw Daphne's progress.

After collecting all the gifts from his friends, Les walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom door, Les heard an exclamation——

"Is this the prize Professor Flitwick was talking about?!"

Les looked towards the source of the sound and found Daphne standing at the door of the bedroom holding a slender package in astonishment.

She had her hair disheveled, her feet were bare, and she was only wearing pajamas. She had obviously just woken up and opened the presents. The package in her hand was half opened, and a broom head was exposed from inside.

"Aren't you really trying to blame me?!" Daphne spread her hands and complained helplessly: "I'm not good at riding a broom!"

The reward for winning the two consecutive duels is actually a broomstick!

Those little wizards on the Quidditch team must be very envious, but for Daphne, this is purely tasteless, and even a bit mocking - what she is worst at is flying on a broomstick.

"Open it all first and take a look." Les suppressed his laughter and advised Daphne to open the whole package first. Maybe it's not as bad as she thought?

After the outer packaging was completely removed, a broom that even Les had to admit was very beautiful and beautiful appeared in front of the two people. There was also a letter attached to the package.

[Dear Miss Daphne Greengrass, I hope you like the broom in the package. This is the latest broom developed by a broom company owned by a friend of mine. It is said to have the best performance of any broom on the market, but it is not yet on sale. He gave me one, and I decided to give it to you as a prize in the dueling competition. As a price, you won’t get any prizes no matter how much you come first in duels from now on, haha! ——Filius Flitwick]

Daphne:......

Les laughed out loud.

"You can take advantage of Christmas to practice your broom riding skills. This broom should be very stable."

Rice made his own suggestion.
