This year's Christmas seems unusually deserted.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Christmas in the Muggle world is not as lively as in the wizarding world, it's just that most of the people who spent Christmas with her have lost contact now.

A complex mood immediately came to mind.

"Emma, ​​can you help me bring in the test tube from the living room? Be careful of the liquid inside"

Oh, and she also forgot about this experimental maniac.

Sherlock has been obsessed with the study of dust since yesterday, and for more than 30 hours, during this period, except for Emma who brought him a meal, he hardly even drank a sip of water.

I don't know if he is going to hand over Christmas to the experiment.But Emma overheard Mycroft calling Sherlock to go home, and she didn't know if he would go back.

"All right"

The door of the laboratory was slammed open, and Emma turned her head to see Sherlock standing in the doorway in good spirits.

With such energy, it is impossible to tell that it is a person who has been working for more than 30 consecutive hours. . .

Emma carefully handed over the still bubbling green liquid, and Sherlock took the test tube with one hand, raised the other hand and looked at his watch.

"I guess it's already Christmas?"

"There's no need to guess, it's just..."

"Then let's go out for dinner." Sherlock's expression was a little unnatural.

"Aren't you going home?"

Sherlock gave her a suspicious look.Then shake your head.

"I'm leaving this afternoon"

"Then don't delay, wait for me to go back and change my coat"

Emma said goodbye to Sherlock in a hurry. She didn't know if it was her illusion. She felt that Sherlock was a bit weird today.

Soon the two went out together.The streets of Christmas are decorated with red, green and green decorations everywhere, but there is a lack of all kinds of magic items that fly around in the air and the magic candy shop that is out of reach now.

"Hey..."

Emma sighed inaudibly.

"What? Are you cold?" Sherlock turned his head and glanced at her.

"No, no, I just remembered the past..."

Emma waved her hand to show that she didn't care, but her tone was subconsciously filled with emotion.

Sherlock didn't speak any more, the two just walked together quietly.

Suddenly he stopped.

"I heard that there is a good Chinese restaurant nearby, do you want to go?"

Emma nodded and followed Sherlock through the alley.After her woolen hat was covered with a thin layer of snow, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Your 'nearby' isn't close at all..."

"Don't care about such small things." Sherlock took off his scarf and hat, and reached out to Emma, ​​"Do you need me to help you?"

"You're so considerate today..." Emma handed over her hat and gloves suspiciously, "I have to wonder if you have done something bad again by being courteous for nothing."

Faced with her accusation, Sherlock just smiled and didn't argue with her as usual.

The more talkative he is, the more uneasy Emma feels.

But in the face of delicious food, she found that nothing could affect her appetite.

"Sometimes I wish I was a goldfish like you." Sherlock gracefully raised his fork in front of him. . .Vegetable leaves.

"Huh?" Emma's mouth was stuffed with food, and she could only utter a single syllable.

"Forget it, by the way, your necklace looks great today"

"what!"

Now Emma couldn't care less about eating, she put down her fork and looked at Sherlock in horror.

"I said your necklace is fine"

Sherlock thought she didn't hear clearly, so he patiently explained it to her again.

"No, no, I mean... you didn't send this necklace?"

"Hey, I'm a fashionista, you think I'd give you something so old-fashioned?" Sherlock gave her a white look.

"What old school? I think it's pretty good..."

Emma received this necklace on Christmas Eve, on the eve of Sherlock's retreat in the laboratory, so she took it for granted that this necklace was given by Sherlock.

"I thought it was given by your former friend when he came to see you. You went to the supermarket yesterday, and he should have left the gift directly at the door."

"How can I have so many friends..."

Speaking of former friends, Emma's first thought was Harry and Draco, but Harry's gift was brought by an owl, and Ron and Hermione's gift is said to be sent too, and Draco didn't Didn't know she was alive. . .

"The person who gave the gift was tall, and his body should be a bit thin. He is right-handed, walks very lightly, and seems to be... very rich?"

Sherlock's gaze stayed on her neck, and Emma pulled her necklace subconsciously.

This is an exquisite clavicle chain, the material should be something similar to silver or platinum. Although the chain has been randomly crossed a few times, it can be seen that it is carefully designed.There is a small pendant fixed in the middle of the necklace, which is a little lion.At first glance, it looks a bit similar to her previous necklace (by the way, that necklace mysteriously disappeared after she was revived), but if you look closely, you can find that the little lion is full of diamonds, full of local tyrants.

Although the Lyon family is very rich, Emma probably used to be poor in her previous life, so she can't help being amazed when she sees this luxury.

There is a kind of poverty called poverty in the bones.

"Well, do you have a choice?"

Sherlock leisurely took a sip of the coffee in front of him.

"Which candidate?" Emma didn't respond for a while.

"I just described the characteristics of the gift giver to you. Do you have any candidates?"

"Let me think about it..."

First of all, there are not many people in the wizarding world who know that she is alive. She can still trust Dumbledore's secrecy work, even Sirius has been concealed. According to Harry, he still lays flowers on her grave from time to time.Doing a preliminary investigation, it is easy to come up with the only candidate.

Severus Snape, her former potions professor.

Interesting to say, she just left Hogwarts and he became a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts as he wished, and I heard that he found someone, whether it is a boyfriend or a girlfriend, now sounds like a winner in life .Combined with her experience of repeatedly cheating him when she was in school. . .

Maybe she was actually his nemesis?

But to get down to business, even if their relationship is still relatively harmonious, it is impossible for him to send it.Leaving aside the dire consequences of anyone knowing that your boyfriend gave another woman a necklace, Snape would never give her a Christmas present on Christmas Eve, and it was usually when she gave him a gift first that he felt the need to reciprocate Will return the gift.

All things considered, it couldn't be Snape.

Then the candidate can only be placed in the Muggle world. If you think about it carefully, anyone who fits this characteristic, except her father. . .

Probably only Sherlock's brother.

But what reason did he have to give her such a big gift?

Sherlock shook his head as if he had guessed what she was thinking.

"No, it can't be Mycroft, he doesn't care about my neighbors at all"

"Maybe, maybe he wants to thank me for taking care of you for more than half a year?"

"Obviously it's me..."

The second half of Sherlock's sentence was abruptly held back by Emma's threatening eyes, "Do you still want to continue to come and eat?"

"But I will be very troubled if I don't know who gave it to me. After all, this gift is considered very thoughtful." Emma helped her forehead, "What's the matter, I have to return a gift..."

"Perhaps one of your anonymous admirers?" Sherlock teased Emma in her tone.

"..." Emma simply ignored him, bowed her head and continued to fight with lunch.

"Aha!" Sherlock suddenly hammered his palm, "I should have thought of it earlier!"

Emma was choked by his sudden action, and she took a big gulp of mineral water to recover.

But her shock was only the beginning, because suddenly Sherlock took her hand.

"What the--" she almost screamed, but she had to bear it in silence because Sherlock's mouth was "cooperate with me".

Then he reached out to help her pin a strand of hair behind her ear, with a doting expression on her face.

Where is her cold neighbor Sherlock!The one in front of me must not be him ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhGive her back her Sherlock!

His face was close at hand, and then he said something.

"Boss, check out"

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

"When did you know that this restaurant has couple discounts?" Emma and Sherlock walked out of the restaurant side by side.

"Always knew" Sherlock shrugged.

"So you started performing from the moment you entered the store?" Emma really didn't know that Sherlock was so scheming.

"It doesn't count, in fact, it started before I entered the store, didn't you notice it?"

Emma shook her head honestly.

Sherlock patted her on the shoulder: "I used to feel sad for your arrears and downtime IQ, but now it seems that you don't have such a thing as IQ at all"

Then Emma followed with an elbow.

Although Sherlock bent down feigning pain, the corners of his eyes were smiling.

However, he stood up with a sudden sigh.

'I'm headed home in the car, my Christmas family nightmare awaits me'

"Don't be like this, you are biological after all..." Emma held back for a long time before saying such a comforting sentence.

"I used to wish I was adopted so that no one would restrict my life"

"Uh, have a nice trip"

Emma wants the awkward chat to end.

Sherlock nodded, then reached out to help her wipe the snow from her face.

"Today I gave you a big gift, don't be too surprised when you go back"

The author has something to say: Sherlock is so flirtatious (blushing)

However, Emma, ​​who knows the truth in the next chapter, probably will shed tears (smile)

sometimes i'm thinking

Emma ignored so many male gods, but just fell in love with Voldemort

If this is not love. . .
