On Christmas Eve, Anita and several other remaining students helped Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick put up the Christmas decorations in the Great Hall.Professor McGonagall took a few little wizards who were good at transfiguration to turn ordinary parchment into various bells, stars, pine cones and other decorations, and Anita followed Professor Flitwick to transform these decorations All hung on the Christmas tree.

The whole auditorium looked magnificent.On the four walls were garlands of holly branches and mistletoe, red holly and white mistletoe dotted among the green leaves, and Professor McGonagall's unmelting white on the garlands. snowflakes.

There are countless small bugs shining with colorful light staying on the wall. They are a kind of magical creature cultivated by Professor Kettleburn who teaches conservation and magical biology.Their tails can emit light of various colors, but they only have a short life span of two days. Professor Kettleburn named them two-day insects.Professor Sprout of herbalism planted some mosses, a type of moss that the worms like to eat, on the wall so that they can stay on the wall.

Anita, whose name is helping but making trouble, planted moss in the shape of a snake, and picked a green two-day bug to put on it, so a big green snake appeared on the wall.The young wizards from several other academies followed suit, and the beautiful Christmas patterns on the wall turned into a bustling zoo.However, the professors did not stop them, but laughed happily from the sidelines.It's a pity that Anita's green serpent turned into a colorful serpent in no time because of the borzoi's ability to fly around.

There are more than a dozen tall Christmas trees around the auditorium, which are covered with various Christmas decorations, and even the decorations on one Christmas tree are made of candies.As long as you stretch out your hand in front of the tree and say Merry Christmas, the candy on the tree will automatically fly to your hand.

Anita bet it was Dumbledore's idea.

The most spectacular thing is the Christmas tree in the center of the hall, which should be dozens of stories high, and its top disappears directly into the ceiling that turns into the night sky.Professor Sprout said the tree, which grows in the Forbidden Forest, is brought out every Christmas and replanted after Christmas.Professor Binns, who teaches History of Magic, added that the tradition had been going on since the days of the Big Four.

At this time, the Christmas tree is covered with hundreds of candles.

The curfew was lifted on Christmas Eve, and the little wizards were all waiting in the auditorium.At 12 midnight, as Dumbledore congratulated "Merry Christmas", countless sparks of various colors floated from the tip of his wand, instantly igniting all the candles on the Christmas tree in the center of the hall.Students from different colleges embraced each other and cheered.

After the Christmas tree lighting ceremony, Anita went back to the dormitory early to sleep, refusing to agree to George and Fred's proposal to "have a fair night out".The first thing Anita did when she woke up the next morning was go to the common room to unwrap Christmas presents.

Although Anita was alone in Slytherin, the common room was still covered with Christmas decorations, which the Slytherins put together before they left.There was a small Christmas tree by the fireplace, and the presents piled up under the tree were all Anita's.

Anita picks up one of the largest packages...and doesn't move, the package is dead heavy.Anita silently sympathized with the owl who delivered the package, and then turned it over with difficulty. It read, "To Anita - Sherlock and Watson".Anita raised her eyebrows with interest, looking forward to the gift Sherlock would send.

After opening, there is a whole set of encyclopedias inside, sorted alphabetically, 26 thick.

Well, it's Sherlock.

Thinking of the whole set of "Little Wizard Enlightenment Series" that she sent to Sherlock, Anita felt that Sherlock would be very satisfied.

It is such a happy decision to give Sherlock a complete set of "A History of Magic" for Christmas next year.

As for this set of encyclopedias, give it to Draco to challenge his worldview.

The other package was wrapped in very expensive-looking silver-green paper, and it was obvious that it was from Draco.Anita was surprised to find that inside the package was a thick stack of parchment.

Anita picked up the top one, on the parchment was Draco's gorgeous curlicue, "I promised to give you the Flying Castle, but there is only a rough design at the moment. — Draco."

Anita flipped through the paper, and found that the design drawings on it were not rough at all, but very delicate. Each sheet carefully outlined the possible magic lines and experimental methods, and even listed reference books.The design of the entire castle is also very exquisite, exactly as Anita imagined.

Draco still remembered!

Anita only mentioned to Draco that she wanted a flying magic castle when she was a child, but Draco not only remembered it, but also drew so many designs.A look at these design drawings shows that he has spent a lot of thought and energy.

Anita hugged the thick stack of papers to her chest, and at this moment, she felt a throbbing feeling in her heart.

No no no, this must be touching.

Anita carefully preserved these drawings, casting at least a dozen protective spells on them before proceeding to unwrap a present.

A beautiful greeting card in the package said, "I went to Chinatown with my parents and bought you the Chinese snacks I have always wanted. I tasted the old godmother and I have to say that the taste is really delicious It's terrible. I doubt that your taste buds have been assimilated by Professor Snape's potion. However, as long as you are happy. PS The bet is still valid, and I will not lose. — Hermione."

"Hermione, I love you!" Anita cheered, eagerly took out a pack of spicy sticks and ate them.The moment the spicy strips entered the mouth, it was like countless fireworks blooming on Anita's taste buds.

It's the taste!

As for the old godmother, Anita felt that Hermione must have opened it in the wrong way. How could there be anyone in this world who would not bow down at the feet of the old godmother.When Hermione comes back, be sure to ask her for Laoganma toast, Laoganma mashed potatoes, Laoganma noodles and other delicacies.

Anita's Christmas gift to Hermione was her copy of Severus' Potions Notes.Anita knew that Hermione would definitely lose the bet, so the note that Hermione was thinking about was given to her first.

Dumbledore sent a large bag of Honeydukes candy with a note, "Merry Christmas! PS Don't be found by Severus. —Dumbledore."

Dumbledore would love her chocolate flavored tooth potion, Anita thought.

Severus sent 12 potions.Anita took it out and saw that the labels on them all read: "Mental Soothing."

Mental soothing agent?Dad will give it to her every time after practicing Occlumency, isn't it so perfunctory for Christmas presents?

Anita opened one of the bottles with a little disappointment, and gently fanned the mouth of the bottle with her hand, causing a small amount of gas to float into her nostrils.Huh, apple flavor?Anita's eyes lit up, and she smelled the remaining bottles one by one, and found that they all had different fruit flavors.

There was a stack of papers under the bottle, and on the top paper was written, "From now on, you will make your own mental soothing medicine. - Severus." The remaining few papers contained detailed prescriptions.

Anita couldn't help showing a warm smile on her face.She decided to treasure the 12 bottles of potion forever, and make what she wanted to drink herself.

After going back to the room to put away the potion that her father had given her, Anita took a package with red and gold stripes, and was hit in the face by several snowballs as soon as she opened it.

"George! Fred!" Anita wiped her face and roared, gnashing her teeth.You can guess it's the two of them without looking at the signature.But who would have guessed that George and Fred would play practical jokes on Christmas presents?

There are also several small glass bottles in the package. Each bottle contains a different content. One of the bottles contains a miniature tornado, another contains a cabin in the snow, and the other contains An umbrella in the rain.

Anita took out a note in the package, which said: "Weather in Bottle (the weather in the bottle), you can save your favorite weather, open it and release it in a small area, disposable items. PS Not recommended indoors Use.PPS This is the real Christmas gift.PPPS I made a bet with George, betting whether you will be fucked by us this time, since you have never been fucked by us in the past six months, so I agree with George I think this time you will... you will. If you get hit by a snowball, please remember that you owe me and George a Galleon each. Also, we will have a snowball fight on the grass in front of the castle after lunch, you are welcome Revenge.—George and Fred."

"Of course I'll go, you two are dead!" Anita said angrily, she didn't expect that she managed to avoid George and Fred's prank for a semester, but she still fell down today.

"Also, you are George!" Anita said, looking at the writing on the paper.

After opening another pile of presents, Anita picked up the last package, which was no bigger than her palm. Compared with other delicately packaged gifts, this package was only wrapped in very rough brown papyrus.

Anita opened the package suspiciously, and a necklace fell out of it, as well as a small piece of paper with ragged edges that was torn from nowhere.

Anita picked up the piece of paper first, on which was written crookedly, "The door key to Prince Manor. Your mother left it to me. I think it belongs to you. Merry Christmas!"

Prince Manor?

Mother?

Anita's pupils shrank slightly, and she read the words on the slip of paper several times in amazement.There is no signature on the paper.The font is very immature, as if written by a child who has just learned to read, and there are many spelling mistakes.However, it is obviously impossible for the mother who can know her to be a child.

If it was written like this on purpose, then this person must be someone she knew, or even very familiar, so she would be worried that her handwriting would be seen.

But when the average person fakes their handwriting, they even fake their spelling mistakes?Can't it?

So the person who sent her this gift was really illiterate?

Who on earth is it?

Does she know?

Mother was able to entrust him with the door key of the Prince Manor and tell him of her own existence, so she should trust him very much.So did he know she was Voldemort's daughter?

This person shouldn't be... an enemy, right?

At least it wasn't an enemy until Mom left, but... now?

Anita thought for a while, and to be cautious, she still picked up the necklace that fell on the ground with her magic wand.The necklace consisted of a very plain silver chain and a pendant in the shape of a quaint key with the Prince family crest engraved on the key.Anita didn't notice any black magic on the necklace, but for safety's sake, Anita still wrapped the necklace in the original wrapping paper.

Anita stuffed the package into her pocket, unintentionally packed up the piles of presents, and hurried out.
