Early in the morning on Christmas Day, Alberta was dug out of bed by Elvis, saying that they wanted to unwrap presents together.Alberta stared straight at her father for tens of seconds, and before Elvis couldn't help wiping off his sweat, she finally looked away and let him go: "Oh, I see."

Then, after Elvis left the room, she got up slowly, and the clothes had already been neatly folded and put aside.

She put on the lace blouse, then the trousers, and then the coat, cut to fit her body.This set of clothes is very beautifully designed. It has both the sharpness of men and the softness of women. It is suitable for Alberta to wear.

When Alberta walked downstairs, she saw that the huge Christmas tree in the lobby was full of gifts. In addition to the courtesy gifts she received in previous years, this year she also received gifts from several people in Pansy.Oh, and double servings of course.

Alberta didn't have the habit of opening anyone's presents first, but opened whoever's gift she saw nearby.So... Draco's shiny golden box was the first to be seen...

The corners of her mouth twitched a little, such a gift full of nouveau riche...

But she still opened the package with her hands.What's inside is... It's normal to fall!Very gorgeous cufflinks, it looks like it was produced by the Malfoy family, she would never use it... Then there is a pair of collar buttons, which is also a virtue.

What Pan Xi sent was a complete set of dresses, which fit her personality and characteristics very well.Blaise sent the book straight away, how to catch a woman's gaze... But, are you sure it's not here to punish her?Neil, as always, gave away a complete dissection kit, and this year again she didn't have to buy a set herself.

It unexpectedly contained a present from Hermione Granger.Maybe it was because she helped her pick up books a few times in the library and recommended a few books that she thought were good, so Granger sent gifts here?

After unwrapping the presents and having breakfast, Alberta began to prepare for the birthday party starting in the afternoon.

In fact, she didn't have to do much, just direct the house-elves.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, people came over one after another.

Alberta, who is the protagonist, needs to stand at the entrance of the designated foothold for the Portkey.Of course, Elvis will be with her.

At four o'clock Pansy showed up with her parents.She was wearing a silver and green tube top dress with a snow-white fur shawl over her shoulders, and her short ear-length hair was also well-styled.

Alberta took a few steps forward, held Pansy's hand, gave a hand kiss, and then greeted: "Welcome to Mayne's house. May the three of you have a wonderful evening."

After Pencey, the Brace family came.Blaise's mother was as beautiful as the rumors said, although in Alberta's view, she was not as beautiful as Queen Lin.

It was nearly five o'clock when the Draco family arrived.

Not far away, Alberta saw three shining bright stars appearing at the foothold of the Portkey. Looking closer, they were even more shining than when they were seen on the platform before.

...is their hair painted with something reflective?

She thought so in her heart, but after the Malfoys approached, Alberta greeted them with very skilled etiquette.It's just...Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy both have strange expressions... Maybe it's because they came to her house for the first time to have a banquet?

For this kind of banquet, Alberta usually has nothing to do. She only needs to take care of those who are her age, and leave the rest to Elvis and Queen Lin.

So, after the banquet started, she stayed with Pan Xi and the others.The others were obviously used to this situation, standing in twos and threes in the banquet hall chatting.

After Alberta took some food, she found a place that wasn't too remote but had a place to sit.

"Pansy, try this. My house elf specially learned it. It's pretty good." She pointed to Dongpo Rou and recommended it.

As a carnivore and a sweet tooth, Alberta would recommend it to others, except for meat, it is sweets.

When Pan Xi saw the reddish-black piece of meat, she found it difficult to chopsticks, but it was recommended by His Highness, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and cut a small piece.

I just didn't expect that it looks very greasy, but it's okay when you eat it, and the taste is different from the steak and chicken steaks you usually eat.

"(☆▽☆) Your Highness, what is this! It's delicious!"

""Dongpo's braised pork, it's what the mother does. "

Draco, who was still eavesdropping, was startled, and directly uttered his question, revealing his intention: "This is impossible! How could a Muggle make such a thing!"

Alberta glanced at him, with an expression he hadn't seen in the world, and managed to choke Draco. "How much do you know about Muggles? Before you say anything, think about the basis for your statement and what can prove your statement."

"... Muggles can... what can they..."

"Oh, as far as I know, they went to the moon decades ago and are planning to march to Mars. And wizards? Probably just look at the stars and figure out what's going to happen. Muggles have invented Out of the phone, as long as the signal covers the place, you can talk to the person on the other side of the earth, but it is not as expensive as a double-sided mirror and can only fix two people. In addition, Muggles have many things, Bringing it out will definitely shock the wizards who are still in their own way."

Blaise smiled bitterly: "No, now we are scared."

Although Draco didn't say it, his expression also showed this meaning.

Alberta sighed, and said: "Because magic is very convenient, whether it is spells or potions, and other things, it brings great convenience to the life of wizards, so wizards are complacent and keep such a point." Convenience, don't think about anything else. But Muggles don't have that, they can only come up with all kinds of things to make their lives more convenient."

Pansy was silent for a while, and asked her: "Your Highness, do you not like the wizarding world? After graduation, will you return to the Muggle world? Since your mother is a Muggle, you want to return to the Muggle world. It's also very convenient."

Alberta didn't expect this little girl to think of this, she nodded and admitted her thoughts: "That's right, I plan to continue studying in the Muggle world after graduating from Hogwarts, Muggles want to study until You can continue to read in your 20s and 30s. As wizards, our lifespan will be very long. I don’t want to just stare at such a small place. I want to see more and farther, to see more magic More interesting things."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Pansy, Blaise, Draco, and Neil fell silent.

Neil was a bit better. After being friends for two years, he knew some of her thoughts. Occasionally, the Muggle items she showed showed that Muggles were not as weak and useless as they thought.He wasn't too shocked by the idea of ​​her wanting to be in the Muggle world.In other words, something even weirder and more contrary to common sense happened to Alberta is possible.

But for Blaise and Draco, it was a huge shock.

Draco asked her tremblingly: "But...but aren't you the heir of the Mayne family? If...if you go...to the Muggle world...what about the Mayne family?"

"What can I do? I'm not completely abandoning this identity. Since magic is so easy to use, it's a fool to throw it away."

Neil immediately recognized the lines inside: "You plan to live in two places? But won't you be discovered?"

"Isn't there still magic? Just continue with the Confusion Curse or the Forgetting Curse." Alberta never found it difficult. "As for the magic world? I just need to take care of the property of the Mayne family and let the surname of Mayne It’s fine as long as it doesn’t disappear. Why do I care so much about other people’s opinions?”

Since that open conversation, Draco and Blaise have been noticeably quieter, and there have been far fewer letters brought by owls, oh, more precisely, Blaise sent one, and Draco No letter at all.Pansy, on the other hand, would send something similar to an essay from time to time, sometimes just a few short sentences, saying what happened in the day, whether it was interesting or annoying.As for Neil, tsk, that guy sent a letter the day after the birthday party, saying that he had a crush on a girl and was pursuing him. In order not to let the other party misunderstand, he did not send the letter.

When Alberta saw the letter, there was no expression on her face, but her hands crumpled the parchment, and then tore it apart one by one, making it into slag.

On January 1th, Alberta prepared a gift and asked the family owl to send it out.The addressee was her dean, Professor Snape.The gift, of course, is a rare potion material that suits it well.

She wasn't trying to use this for flattery or anything, and even if she really wanted to, Snape wouldn't have made it work.She just...has a habit of sending presents to every professor on her birthday...that's all.

As an Alberta with (a lot of) spare money in the family and wants to create a good image, although the Galleons spent on those gifts are not many, the rewards are great.

How many students will remember the professor's birthday?And among the students I remember, how many will send gifts on their birthdays?It's also a gift that suits your heart...

Although Alberta really wanted to send some shampoo to Snape, but thinking of the consequences of doing so, she resolutely dismissed the idea.

Well, this heroic behavior should be handed over to someone who is stronger and less afraid of the cold!

It wasn't until the last day of the Christmas holiday that Draco owled a small note.

Yes, it is really a small piece of paper.A little piece of paper that doesn't quite fit the Malfoy family.But the paper is good, but it looks like it was torn from a piece of parchment.

There is a sentence written on it.

— I'll learn more about Muggles!

Alberta was a little ashamed. After so many days, is Draco struggling with this?

But she didn't know that just after sending that little note, Draco opened the books he asked the house-elf to bring from the Muggle world like a strong man cut his wrist.

He knew that Pansy and Daphne were reading novels written by Muggles, and even books on matching clothes.He once glanced roughly at the pictures that didn't move, but the paper was pretty good.But he has always been educated that wizards are higher than Muggles, and Muggles are all lowly. This is very in line with the views of the wizarding community.He hadn't had the chance to really get in touch with the Muggle world, nor had he bothered to learn about it.

But now, a door to a new world is slowly opening to him.And he could only shout in his heart: This is not magic——

"Merlin! What's wrong with you, Draco!" Pansy couldn't help shouting when she saw Draco.

Draco glanced at her sluggishly, but said nothing.

Although Draco looked the same as before at the moment, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his skin was shimmering abnormally, which was the aftereffect of using the Glory Potion.Moreover, judging from that appearance, he still drank a lot.

Pansy asked him furtively, "I said Draco, what did you do yesterday? You look like this..."

"... read Muggle books..."

"Oh, read a Muggle book. Ah, it's actually a Muggle book! Draco, are you okay!" Pansy didn't realize it at first, but after he did, he took out his wand to see if it was Really Draco.

Draco sniffed and pushed Pansy's wand away: "Don't mess with Pansy. I'm exhausted now, let me rest for a while."

"No, you have to prove that you are Draco Malfoy first!"

"...Oh, don't force me to tell you that you wet the bed when you were four years old, and you were so scared that you blew up a vase when you got up, and you had to secretly find me to make exactly the same thing in the past."

Pansy brushed her hair back, sat down pretending to be calm, and squeezed Draco hard at the place covered by the wizard robe. "Oh, it's true Draco, I'm relieved."

Draco: "…………………… Painful QAQ"

The author has something to say: I was dragged to participate in this book yesterday, and I was doing this, and the code words were too late_(:з」∠)_

Well, there will be another chapter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow... I will not break my promise...
