Study Days at Hogwarts

   Chapter 107 Christmas

  The Anderson family’s original Christmas holiday skiing plan was canceled. Luke and Sansa will come over to spend Christmas together. No one in the family complained about it. They are not too enthusiastic about skiing itself.

  On Christmas Eve, Albert saw Herb wandering outside Nia's room door, as if he was considering whether to put the gift in front of his daughter's bedside table.

   "Santa Claus is no longer popular now." Albert signaled Herb to put the Christmas presents next to the Christmas tree downstairs.

"I told him about it a long time ago." Daisy in pajamas looked at the two people in the corridor helplessly, and shook her head to remind, "Go back to sleep quickly, don't stay up late, you have to get up in the morning to open the Christmas tree. What about presents?"

  The next day, Albert was woken up by Nia early in the morning.

  No way, Tom's cat face was approaching his face, which made Albert sleepless all at once.

   "I didn't find the Christmas present you gave me." Nia asked for it.

   "Here it is, I haven't had time to put it next to the Christmas tree." Albert stretched out his hand to push Tom's face away, and after getting up, he took out an exquisitely packaged box from the drawer and handed it to Nia.

   "Where's mine?" he asked. The two siblings have long given each other Christmas presents.

   "Next to the Christmas tree downstairs." Nia unpacked the package, picked up the badge and asked, "It's beautiful, by the way, what kind of bird is this?"

"Phoenix, you can also call it a firebird or a phoenix. It is said that Headmaster Dumbledore raised one. However, I haven't seen a phoenix." Albert took out a small dried fish from the drawer and handed it to Tom said, "And your Christmas present."

   As he spoke, he tore open the wrapping paper, took out a small dried fish from inside, and shook it in front of Tom, easily attracting his attention.

  However, when Albert was about to put the dried fish into his mouth, Tom's face came closer and he meowed anxiously.

"This guy is too bad, Tom, we won't play with him anymore." Nia put the badge in her pocket, reached out to pick up the cat, took the bag of dried fish and went downstairs, leaving Albert alone , holding a small dried fish alone.

   "White Christmas!" Albert got out of bed and came to the window, stretched out his hand to open the curtains, looked at the snowflakes falling outside, and said with emotion.

  When he went downstairs, Albert couldn't help but look under the Christmas tree, where there were still a bunch of small packages. Nia had already sat at the dining table and unwrapped her package, so...the rest are all her own?

   Albert went under the Christmas tree and started unpacking:

A few books, a few greeting cards, and a Quidditch poster, well, it was given by the Weasley brothers. Although Albert didn't know who the guys in this poster were, he planned to take it back to school. Posted in the dormitory, the poster should be the team that the twin brothers support. A small bag of candy, Albert looked at it, it was from Shanna, thanking him for his help when the school started. Lee Jordan gave him a box of Bee Beans.

   There is also a Transformation Today magazine, but it is from the past. Albert looked at the sender, and it was actually sent by Professor McGonagall.

  Albert is very curious, Professor McGonagall will also give himself a Christmas present?

   And then a scarf?

   "How?" Nia asked nervously, "I chose this color."

   "Very beautiful." Albert directly wrapped the scarf around his neck, it was still warm, off-white children's style, okay! He was only twelve years old, still a child, and he had nothing to complain about.

   What was left was either candy or books. Albert was not surprised at all when he received the books, as it had been like this before.

The breakfast was extraordinarily rich, but the Anderson family didn't eat right away. Instead, they waited until Luke and Sansa came over. At about half past ten, the family of six enjoyed breakfast with Christmas carols. After they were full, they nestled on the sofa while watching TV. Show, while chatting about some light topics.

  Nia originally hoped that Albert could perform magic, but Albert still did not agree after consideration.

  To be honest, he still doesn't know what is going on with Zongsi from the Ministry of Magic. Although he has asked other people, they don't quite know what Zosi is.

  Usually, the notice that the use of magic is prohibited outside the school should not be received until the summer vacation of the first grade.

  However, Albert did not want to take risks. It is undoubtedly unwise to take advantage of legal loopholes without preparation.

  Although you don’t use magic, you can still do a lot of things, play wizard chess, or talk about some interesting things.

  However, in terms of wizard chess, obviously no one is Albert's opponent.

   After Herb lost another game, he temporarily gave up playing wizard chess with his son.

   Fortunately, at this time Daisy brought out a large bowl of freshly fried French fries from the kitchen, giving him a good excuse to end the game.

"Tom, don't tease Sheila, be careful of being pecked." When Albert went to wash his hands, he took the short-haired cat away from the owl by the way, muttering: "Did I choose the wrong name, it It should be called Jerry, Tom and Jerry, what a combination."

   "Shera sounds better." Nia couldn't help reminding.

   After Albert came back from washing his hands, he heard a scream, and Tom with cheap claws was finally pecked hard by the owl.

  Sheila obviously didn't intend to let Tom go, chasing after it and pecking fiercely, with full fighting power, Tom was so embarrassed that he could only hide under the sofa at last.

  Everyone couldn't help laughing.

  Sansa gave Sheila some owl food, and then bent down, picked up Tom under the sofa, and soothed his wounded heart with dried fish.

   "Tom is getting fatter." Nia took Albert's birthday present to herself and showed it to others to appreciate.

   "It would be nice for the cat to be fatter." Sansa smiled and scratched Tom's chin, "Do you think it's Tom?"

   "When will it be able to fly?" Nia raised her hand and poked the Gryphon, "And, is there really such a creature in our world?"

   "Yes. However, it is said that they are all in unknown places." Albert was putting French fries dipped in ketchup into his mouth.

   "The group of people in the wizarding world are like this, why hide like a mouse?" Daisy sat next to Herb, and the two sat close together.

   "After all, the number of wizards is small, and most ordinary people are afraid of power beyond their knowledge." It was Luke who answered.

  Actually, many people fear magic while envious of others possessing magic, and then, for various reasons, regard magical people as monsters and find reasons to persecute them. Human beings are such creatures.

  Tom is lying on the table, staring at the toy with its wings, and fiddled with it with his claws.

   "Albert, have you read the book I picked for you?" Daisy asked suddenly.

   "I've finished reading it. It's a very good book." Albert nodded, "It's a pity that what's in the book is just what's in the book."
