HP Paranoia and Antisocial

After a good night's sleep, all the fatigue from yesterday disappeared.

Waking up early in the morning, Severus was much more relaxed.Thinking of having to accompany Wardmont to take inventory in the warehouse yesterday in order to choose the right gift, Severus couldn't help but blacken.

Turning his head to see a package and a letter on the bedside table, Severus reached for the letter and glanced at the cover, it was Lily.

Presumably, after he fell asleep last night, Waldmont helped him put it away.

Severus opened the envelopes one by one in chronological order.In the letter, Lily talked about a lot of things after she got home, including the look on Petunia's face, and the smile she reluctantly gave her when she gave her the hairband that Penny would automatically braid. Lily talked about Evans the most. The couple's concern for her, where the family went shopping, and what the Evanses bought for their sisters.Especially since Lily went to school in the closed Hogwarts, the Evans and his wife hadn't seen her for a long time, so they spoiled her even more.

This feeling of being cherished and cared for made Lily feel more at ease when she returned home.But it was also because of this that it was even more difficult for Penny to show any kindness to her.

When there are many children in a family, there will always be problems of one kind or another. It is difficult for parents to make a bowl of water completely level.When children have their own minds, how to take care of them is even more troublesome for parents.

In addition to her own family affairs, there is also how Lily looked forward to his letter, but she was so sad that she did not wait for his letter.Naturally, the last letter was written by Lily after receiving his letter, and Lily's mood obviously improved a lot in the last letter.

Since Lily is in a good mood, she should be even happier to see the Christmas present from him today.

Severus put the letter away and turned to unwrap Lily's package.But just as Severus was about to make a move, he heard a knock on the door.

Looking up, who else could it be if it wasn't Wardmont?

"I'll come up to see if you're awake." Waldmont stood at the door, his eyes wandering to the package in Severus's hand, "Now is not the time to look at presents. You should go downstairs to have breakfast with me. "

Severus put down the package and went to change clothes.Waldmont came over, but directly pulled him downstairs: "We're at home all day today, so it won't hurt to change clothes later."

Severus didn't know why Wardmont was acting like this, and since Wardmont said it was a little later, Severus didn't bother.Just as Wardmont couldn't wait for him to try a new breakfast drink - which Severus might actually think if he hadn't tried it.

The green smoothie for breakfast was a disaster.

Today started off a more perfect day.

Green milkshakes are really not delicious. All kinds of fruits and vegetables are mashed and mixed with milkshakes. The taste is mixed and disgusting.That is to say, Wardmont could still smile after drinking, and Severus could not spit out after eating, and his face was tense and not collapsed, it was all exhausted.Just then Severus turned around and went upstairs, brushing his teeth again before feeling better.

When Severus didn't see it, Wardmont also retched a few times in the bathroom, and if it wasn't for his own face, he could have sprayed it out.

What healthy recipe?When Muggles are unreliable, this is too unpalatable!

Going downstairs again, Severus had already changed.

Wardmont stood in front of the fireplace, reaching for the Christmas tree he and Severus had decorated together.

The fireplace was burning fine coals, and there was a faint scent of rosin in the room.

"Severus, it's time to open the presents." Wardmont deliberately stopped Severus in the morning, because he didn't want Severus to be the first to open that "Lily" package.

Severus, who didn't know what Waldmont was thinking, picked it up under the Christmas tree. The gifts here were divided into three piles. The Death Eaters not only prepared gifts for Waldmont, but even Nagini's.If it weren't for the fact that most of them didn't know about Severus' existence, Severus' gift pile would have doubled in size.

In order for those Christmas gifts to flow in smoothly, Wardmont specially opened up the manor last night, so that those dizzy owls can find the right position without continuing to fly outside to get dizzy.

Severus picked up the top gift, and it felt heavy.The gift was wrapped in green wrapping paper with a silver pattern, and the silver ribbon tied the gift in a beautiful knot—not a bow.Knowing that it was Wardmont's handwriting, Severus picked up his wand, intending to let the package open by itself.

Wardmont pressed Severus' hand: "Dear Severus, if you don't open the gift yourself, it's not so worth looking forward to."

Severus glared at him dissatisfied: "Your own packages are opened by magic."

Wardmont took out the gift Severus had prepared for him: "At least I kept this."

Severus had no choice but to open it himself.Wardmont also opened the gift Severus had given him.

"This is..." There was an equipment bag in the box in Severus's hand, and he stretched out his hand to pull it out, and the equipment bag suddenly became larger, almost comparable in size to the pile of Waldmont's gifts.

Opening the equipment bag, there was indeed a set of experimental equipment inside.

Severus took it and felt it in his hand. The material used to make the equipment should be very good.This is what he needs urgently. He has learned a lot from Professor Piaget in school, and theoretical knowledge needs practice to consolidate, but unfortunately he does not have it himself. He has always rubbed against Professor Piaget, or it was Dumbledore. Lido equipment to use.

Although I don't know why Wardmont knows what he needs so well, I have to say that he is very happy.

"Thank you." Severus looked at Wardmont with bright eyes.

"As long as you like." Wardmont raised his eyebrows as he looked at the gift Severus gave him, "Whoa, a dragon skin bag."

Severus pursed his lips.

Wardmont opened the dragon skin pocket knowingly, and the crown inside fell into the box.Before the curse of the crown took effect, Wardmont took the lead and suppressed the crown.

"What a big surprise!" He thought Severus hadn't found the crown, so he never mentioned it in front of Severus.But he didn't expect Severus to give him such a dangerous thing as a Christmas present.

"You have to make sure you don't keep it around all the time." Wardmont glared at Severus sternly.

Among the Horcruxes he divided, this was the only one that was the most difficult to obtain in his current capacity.There was no way for him to enter the school while Dumbledore was in charge of Hogwarts, and even if he had taken the secret passage, Dumbledore would have known of his visit.As for the students in the school, Waldmont didn't trust their abilities.Only Severus, the one he trusted.

When he told Severus about it, he told him to be extremely careful.The risk was too great, Wardmont even regretted it, he shouldn't have told Severus when he first entered school.But now Severus had completed the task and "made a joke" with him.He didn't know whether to praise Severus first, or fear the harm he might take.

Severus tilted his head, not meeting Wardmont's gaze: "Of course I wouldn't do that. It's been kept in my dragonhide pocket all this time, and it hasn't affected me."

"Okay." Wardmont threw his hand away, letting the diadem fly aside, and hugged Severus.

Severus struggled awkwardly, the hug in broad daylight made him shy.

"Thank you for the gift. Severus is indeed very reliable."

Severus, who was recognized, was even happier, and he hugged Wardmont back: "Of course I won't let you down."

Sirius found out the gifts he was most concerned about and went upstairs to unwrap the presents. He had never expected the gifts from Walburga and Orion.Whose parents give dark magic items to their children when they are only one year old?After so many years of birthdays and festivals, Sirius has already seen all the tricks they can give gifts.From his own feelings, Walburga and Orion's gifts are not as good as those given by Regulus!

After unpacking the gift, James gave him a mischief potion, which was volatile, and the person who used it would get a rash all over his body and itchy for seven days!

What a good brother!He has the urge to use this gift now.

The gift from Alphard was a set of Quidditch books signed by the current Quidditch stars.

As expected of Uncle Alphard!It's all too clear what he likes.

Regulus sent a set of notebooks and a shorthand quill.Very good and useful.You can’t be distracted when taking notes in class. It’s easy to have a shorthand quill.

Sirius happily flipped through other gifts. Many Gryffindor classmates thought he was a hero and gave him many gifts.A small part of them are mischievous gadgets, while the other part are small objects like scarves, gloves and so on.

This Christmas is also a good harvest.

Sirius packed up his things, and the prank toys were waiting for Bellatrix and the others to come and use them, which would surely scare them.

Thinking of Bella's outraged look, Sirius felt even happier.

Throwing the notebook Regulus had given him on the desk casually, Sirius saw the notebook he had put aside for a long time while putting down the shorthand quill.

Last time he scolded so much, is there any new words coming out of this book?
