The structure of poisonous coral is no different from that of ordinary plants, but because of its name, Aliya will not dare to touch it directly for a while.There are some records of poisonous corals in the library books, and it didn't take her much effort to find them.

This pot of poisonous coral was placed on the bedside by Aliya. Aliya spent two days researching and searching for information about it, but she got very little.

Poisonous coral is not a coral in the true sense, it is just a plant called coral, which grows in severe cold areas and will wither if there is no suitable temperature. On the second night when Alia brought it back, the poisonous coral The corals seem to be less lifeless, and there is still some faint fluorescence after the lights are turned off at night.

It itself is not poisonous, but there are too few potions for poisonous corals, which does not match its rarity. Arya guessed that this may be the reason why Professor Snape kept this pot of poisonous corals.

The temperature in the Slytherin bedroom was low, but it was much milder than Professor Snape's cellar.Arya didn't know what had prompted the coral's recovery, but at least it wasn't the climate.

Alicia decided to find a way to feed it, and judging by the progress of its recovery, it might be in time to become Professor Snape's Christmas present.

The poisonous coral needs to be irrigated with snow that has just fallen and has not yet melted, so Alia dragged Kelly out to fiddle with the snow for a while. Snow battle.

On the eve of Christmas, many people will go home on Christmas Day. Kelly invited Alia to visit Brightman Manor. Although Li felt a little regretful, she still expressed her understanding.

Aliya found a glass box, the bottom of which was covered with white snow, and then she carefully put the poisonous coral in it, and asked Kelly to cast a spell to fix it, and then she packed it up and handed it over to owl.

According to the system, her identity is a pure-blood wizard in Germany, but for some reason their family migrated to the UK, and Alia didn't know what she was expecting. She was born in a single-parent family, perhaps with the system's great powers, She was able to meet the father she had never met.

On Christmas Day, the school was mostly empty, and Alia was drowsy on the train.

The identity set by the system has no flaws. The Gruss Manor is luxurious. Alia can't see the whole picture of the manor just by standing at the door. On the left side of the entrance is a large and somewhat outrageous garden with white roses The white tea table also has an arch leading into the depths of the garden.

"System, if I just go in like this, will they find that I'm not their real daughter?"

[Please don't worry, you are you. 】The system comforted.

When she pushed open the door of the castle-like house, Alia realized that the system's words were not consolation.

There is nothing in the overly spacious hall, no table, no sofa, no firewood in the fireplace, just an empty room.

Of course no one.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

There is no gnawing sound from the system.

She almost forgot that Gruss, a pure-blooded nobleman, was just a virtual identity arranged for her by the system. Naturally, she would not have any family members, and even the manor was vacant. Unnecessary memory], she never thought that the system would really only give her an identity.

Alia has the memory of the address of Gruss Manor, which was given to her by the system when she first arrived in this world. However, she has never obtained any memory of her parents and family members in this world from the beginning, because the system thinks she does not need it. .

[You just need to complete the task to go home, right?What does fictional family mean to you? 】Alia heard doubts from the mechanical voice of the system for the first time, she was silent for a while, "You are right."

The system didn't make a sound very often, and it stopped talking after feeling Aliya's unhappy mood.

There is a distance between Gruss Manor and Hogwarts. It took more than half a day to go to Gruss Manor in the morning, and it was completely dark when Alia saw Hogwarts again.

Fortunately, she just caught up with the small dinner party of the faculty.

"Oh~Gruss?"

Alia heard the sound and turned around to find that it was the principal who called her. As an ordinary student, she never thought that she could talk to the principal.

"You... hello! Headmaster Dumbledore."

Dumbledore always had a smile on his pupils, in fact he was kind even to Arya, who was a Slytherin, "Merry Christmas, my dear boy, if I remember correctly, in Your name is on the list going home."

"Merry Christmas... Well, it suddenly occurred to me that I had some questions to ask Professor Snape, so I came back."

Arya felt that such an excuse would not even be believed by herself, but Dumbledore smiled and didn't care at all, "The timing of your return is just right."

Dumbledore picked up a paper towel from the dining table and waved his wand. The paper towel turned into a paper box. He stuffed a few donuts and put a lot of candy and chocolate in it until the paper box was completely full. Only when it was full, he handed the box to Aliya with satisfaction.

"Your professor may be starving because of the busy potion experiments." Dumbledore blinked at Alicia, who was still a little dazed, "I believe he will like these, can you give them to him for me? Oh ~Maybe this counts as a Christmas present."

Alicia was a little dazed holding the carton full of sweets in her hand, and she nodded hesitantly amidst Dumbledore's loving smile, "I'll give it to Professor Snape."

Dumbledore left satisfied.

Almost all the students were either in their college dormitories or attended the staff's dinner, so when Arya walked on the way to the cellar, she felt very deserted.

To be honest, no one likes to walk this road even in normal times. All the students are afraid of Professor Snape, and only Aliya, who has walked this road repeatedly, is particularly familiar with it.

When she knocked on Professor Snape's door, she clearly saw Professor Snape's surprise when he saw her.

"I still think I should wish you a Merry Christmas myself."

"Merry Christmas. Well, I think it's time for you to go back to your dorm and sleep now." Snape didn't ask why she ran back when she should have gone home, and Arya didn't give him a chance to close the door. slipped in.

"Miss Gruss, maybe you're not going to give your professor some peace on Christmas night?" Snape closed the door, but he didn't push Arya away.

It has only been ten days since she was punished for labor service, but Aliya has completely gotten used to this place called the snake den by other students. At least she feels that this cold cellar is more intimate than the luxurious manor of the Gruss family.

"Professor Snape, Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to give this to you." She handed the box in her hand to Professor Snape, "He said it was a Christmas present, and he said you would like it."

Snape really couldn't think of any Christmas present that old fellow Dumbledore would give him that would make him happy, and he could smell the sweet and cloying aroma of the pastry without even opening it, and a disgusted expression appeared on his face.

Maybe Professor Snape didn't have a sweet tooth like Headmaster Dumbledore said.

Arya thought.

The carton full of sweets was thrown in the corner by Snape, who didn't even want to look at it.Aliya noticed that the pot of poisonous coral on Professor Snape's desk was only left in a flowerpot, and its leaves and branches were all preserved in some small bottles. It was strange that it did not wither because it was picked off.

It has been recorded in books that poisonous coral can be preserved as a potion material when picked at the best time.

Seeing that the Christmas gift she gave was completely decomposed in a blink of an eye, Aliya felt a little subtle. To be honest, she still thinks that poisonous coral is the most beautiful at night. Those flowers are like fireflies at night. How many times does Kelly Waking up in the middle of the night was startled.

Arya was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't react when Snape walked up to her with the bottle.

"Your Christmas present, Gruss." He handed the bottle to Arya. "Merry Christmas."

It's a bottle of Felicia.

Originally, Snape didn't think that Gruss would give him a Christmas present, so after receiving the pot of poisonous coral, he planned to owl it later, maybe it could be delivered to Gruss before 12 o'clock. superior.

Since people are here now, it is just right to give now.

After confirming that Aliya had taken Felicia, Snape planned to turn around and continue his potion experiment. The condition of the pot of poisonous coral was unprecedentedly good. The pot that Ya took away, after all, it is not difficult for the Gruss family to find a new pot of poisonous coral.

But Professor Snape is destined to be unable to continue his unfinished potion tonight.

He was hugged.
