[Comprehensive British and American] Guide for wizards to eat and wait to die

"Merry Christmas Emma!"

Emma heard Harry's voice as soon as she came to the Gryffindor lounge.

"You're happy too, Harry, come on, this is your gift~ What about Ron and Hermione?"

"The two of them went out together. They said they were going to buy gifts."

"Huh? Aren't the shops closed at Christmas?" Emma suddenly reacted, "Oh, it's okay, I'm going to deliver presents, goodbye Harry"

Because she had promised to go to Malfoy's house at night, Emma was going to give all the presents during the day.Given that her interpersonal contacts are not extensive, there are actually not many people she wants to give gifts to.

But since there were not many presents, Emma naturally selected them very carefully, and it took her almost a week to prepare all the presents.

After all, everyone who gives a gift hopes to dream of seeing a happy expression on the recipient's face~

Emma had just stepped out of Hogwarts when she spotted the twins having a snowball fight.

"Fred, George, how are you~" Emma waved to them.

"Merry Christmas, Emma!" the twins answered her in unison.

"Mmm, Merry Christmas! By the way, here are your presents!" Emma took out two gift boxes of different colors from her bag, "The blue one is for Fred, and the red one is for George."

"Oh, Emma, ​​why are you like this~" Fred exaggeratedly held his forehead, "Our presents won't be ready until evening."

"The time is not important, the main thing is that I already have an appointment tonight, you can put it directly outside my bedroom door"

"Then we won't see your surprised expression." George shook his head in disappointment.

"I shouldn't be back very late, I'm actually looking forward to your gifts~"

"Really? Then we have to hurry up and get ready, George, let's go ~ goodbye Emma~"

The giggling backs of the twins quickly disappeared from Emma's sight.

Emma watched them for a while and then went to Hagrid's cabin.

Although Hagrid likes to keep strange pets and always looks dirty, there is no denying that Hagrid is a warm-hearted and kind friend.Although Emma didn't have much contact with him for various reasons, it still didn't affect her good friendship with him.

"Hagrid, here I come~" Emma knocked on the forester's door.

"Who is it?" Hagrid poked his head out of the room quickly.

"Hagrid? Are you secretly keeping some 'cute little pet' again?" Emma looked at him with a smile.

"No, nothing" Hagrid's flushed face, however, had already given away what was hiding in his room.

"Hagrid?" Emma raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, well, they are little bats from Cuba." Hagrid had to admit his new pet, "They are very cute little guys, do you want to see them?"

"No, no, no." Emma immediately put the gift in front of the door, "Hagrid, Merry Christmas, then I'll go first!"

"Emma, ​​don't you really look at it? Don't you look at it?"

Emma left Hagrid's hut as fast as she could, leaving only Hagrid's echo floating in the wind.

It's so dangerous, the last time Hagrid forcibly rescued his "cute little" spider, Emma still often wakes up in the middle of the night.Who knows what's going on with the 'little' bat this time!

She counted the presents in her bag again, and then she saw a dark green package.

This gift was a moment of regret. What was wrong with her that day to think that this cuff should look good with Snape, who is super rich but never dresses up and deserves to be single all his life! ?

She didn't know why she had to prepare such a compensatory gift, whether it was scratched by a werewolf or bitten by Sirius, Snape was asking for it!That's right!She has always been a well-behaved student!He is always the one who finds fault first!

There is no doubt that she does not need to blame herself or feel guilty!

Emma confidently placed the gift at the door of the cellar. If the ten-thousand-year otaku was willing to go out on Christmas, he would be able to see it. Anyway, she didn't leave her name, and he didn't need to have the psychological burden of needing to return the gift.

Oh, she is so understanding, kind and generous, regardless of past suspicions~

"Miss Lyon, is there something important for you to stand in front of the cellar door?"

Fuck!What did she do wrong?Why did he destroy a good deed that was done anonymously after all the effort! ?

Then there is no other way, this gift is destined not to be given out.

"It's okay, it's okay." Emma waved her hand, "I'm just passing by, passing by"

"If I'm not blind, the envelope in your hand should be written 'To Professor Snape'? I'm glad you still know my normal address."

I go!There should be no words written on the cover!

"Uh..." Emma looked at Snape's outstretched hand in a moment of confusion.

"Hand it over." Snape looked at her coldly.

She just wanted to be a good person, why didn't he believe it! ! ?

"It's just a Christmas gift" Emma wanted to forcefully explain.

"Oh?" Snape's face now turned into "You can talk nonsense, I believe it and I lose".

Why didn't she find that he had such a rich expression before?

"Professor, you have to trust me!" Emma emphasized again.

"Christmas gift without signature? I didn't even know that Miss Leon had the virtue of not leaving her name behind. Come, open it yourself"

Perhaps frightened by Emma's disastrous physique, Snape handed the envelope back to her.

Seeing his defense, now Emma regrets not putting a bomb in it, she should run after pulling the fuse!

Well, the only consolation was that she could appreciate Snape's embarrassed expression after taking it apart.Seriously doing that made her Christmas worth it.

"Here, I didn't lie to you, it's really a gift." Emma put the silver cufflinks in her palm, and the dark green gemstones revealed a soft light.

Snape still didn't move.

"Okay" Emma sighed, "Professor, I hope you can forgive me for the pain I have caused you this year, I really didn't mean it"

Snape just snorted, and then closed the door directly.

Okay, apologizing or something is really not for her. . .

"Miss Lyon" Snape's voice was muffled after the door was closed, "Don't take yourself too seriously, I don't care what you do at all."

So is that what it means to forgive her?

If she hadn't been with Tom for so long and had experience with Slytherins, she would never have guessed what he meant.It's no wonder that he is so awkward and has won the honor of the most unpopular professor at Hogwarts for n consecutive years.

Well deserved!

Emma rewrapped the cufflinks and stuffed them under the door. Of course, there was no reason to take back the gift she gave, and of course it was none of his business whether he would accept it or not.

But the hardest part of today is over, and the rest is some collection and delivery.

Oh, and of course, there was the matter of visiting the Malfoys.

This is something to be prepared for.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Draco Malfoy is not happy now.

Originally, he thought that Emma Lyon accepted his invitation and formally wrote a letter to respond to him, so he should be happy.

But he started to choose clothes and prepare things since he got up in the morning, not only did he comb his hair three times, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to open the presents.

It wasn't until noon that his father said teasingly: "Xiaolong, you look very energetic today" to wake him up.

What is he doing?

Does he want to please Emma that much?

Draco was instantly upset when he found out what he was doing.What is wrong with him?

Looking back, he just paid more attention to Emma according to his father's instructions. He definitely didn't think that winter might be coming to an end recently and she was getting more and more beautiful. . .

Wait, what is he thinking!

"There are two kinds of wizards in the world, one is pure-blood wizards, and the other is non-pure-blood wizards." The conversation between her father and her still seemed to echo in her ears.

"But Emma Lyon is different, you can't judge her by her bloodline"

"Ok?"

"In their Lyon family, there is gold in their blood"

"What do you mean?"

"You will know in the future, remember, you must not be an enemy of them"

His father's meaningful smile is still fresh in his memory.

Since then, he couldn't help paying more attention to Emma, ​​and then he found that she was not exactly the same as those brainless Gryffindors.

For example, she often skips classes for various reasons, but her grades are always at a not bad level.She is often called to confinement by Professor Snape, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that what she does is called confinement but is actually an assistant.She often dozes off quietly during class, but every time she is called out, she can answer the professor's questions smoothly. By the way, she looks surprisingly good-looking when she sleeps. . .

There was absolutely no other meaning in what he said. As a noble young master, he had seen many noble girls with good genetics since he was a child, but no one was like her, er, how should I put it. . .

unique?

Emma's not a very flamboyant type, but she has a lazy but unexpectedly reassuring temperament.

Draco didn't know how to describe it, but he sometimes envied Potter's scarred head.The Malfoy family is an established noble with a long history, and he can count on one hand the number of nobles who can match up with their family.So he has almost no friends since he was a child.

Although his father didn't care much about his interpersonal relationships, he knew that the Malfoy family's interactions should never be the same as those of ordinary people.Although his choice of companions doesn't have to be aristocrats, it's like the friendship between his father and Professor Snape.At the very least, there must be a strong magic foundation.

There is always something to be gained in the communication between people, isn't it?

Slytherin respects the strong, maybe Emma Lyon can get his friendship too?

"Lord Lucius, the guests are already outside the door." The house elf appeared in the air with a "bang".

"Then let her in, Xiaolong, you go and guide Miss Leon." His father pointed to the gate of the manor, and Draco walked over in a good manner.

It was obviously not the first time we met, but Draco felt strangely nervous.

Just a meal.He silently told himself that it was no big deal.
