Chapter 160: A Late Christmas Present

Just as Alan was pondering, there was a sudden knock on the carriage door, and Penelope, who was still hanging on to Allen just now, walked in.

"Hey Alan, Merry Christmas!" Penelope squeezed a long, thin teal box to Alan.

"You went to New York for the Christmas holidays, and I have no way to find you, so I can only give you Christmas presents now. I hope you enjoyed this belated gift. Penelope stroked her long, wavy curls and sat down across from Alan.

"Thanks, I brought you a gift from New York, and I'm thinking I'll go to Hogwarts to find you again. Alan quickly opened the suitcase and took out the magic robe he was going to give to Penelope from the box.

Alan, who had his back to Penelo, didn't see the glint in the beautiful girl's eyes when he said that he had brought a gift for Penelope from New York.

"It's beautiful!" Penelope eagerly unfolded the neatly folded robe, instantly liking the plain robe with a faint streamer.

"This is the masterpiece of the well-known New York designer Mrs. Klein - the girly version of the magic robe of the Breeze series. I hope you like it!" Alan handed the robe to Penelope.

Thinking of the glamorous and touching Mrs. Crane, Alan was a little embarrassed. obviously has a glorious future, but in order to seek huge profits, he lost his life and died!

"Mrs. Crane, it must be beautiful!" Although most of Penelope's attention was on the beautiful robe, she noticed Alan's momentary look of regret.

"It's true, it's hard to take your eyes off her whenever she's there. Alan thought about the performance of the others in the only two encounters with Mrs. Crane, and praised them sincerely.

Penelope's hand holding the robe tightened, and said with a smile: "Such a beauty, I really wish I could see her!"

"It's better not to see her, she's dead. Alan told Penelope what he knew about Mrs. Crane.

"That Mr. Leonard has a soft spot for her, and must be very sad about her passing, right?" sighed Penelope.

"Yes, although he seems to be the same, I know that he must have mixed feelings. Alan hopes that Mr. Leonard will meet the right person and be happy soon.

"Don't talk about anyone else, can you tell me about your experience in New York?" For Penelope, knowing the emotional experiences of people he has never met is like listening to a story. In contrast, she was more interested in Allen's experience in New York.

Alan spoke with some cut-offs about his experience, and Penelope listened attentively and looked at photos of Ellen and Jessica while they were visiting the scenic spots.

As the train was about to arrive, Penelope suddenly asked Allen, "What do you think of Percy Weasley from Gryffindor?"

"Percy Weasley?" Penelope's sudden question made Alan think about Percy as a person.

Excellent academics, outstanding strength, ambitious, especially concerned about the evaluation of others, a bit stereotyped, love family......

Alan thinks Percy is a more complicated person, but why did Penelope ask Percy?

"He's brilliant, he's good, well-known!" Allen, of course, doesn't speak ill of people behind his back, "why do you ask him?"

"He actually gave me a clay doll for Christmas!" Penelope said nonchalantly.

"That's good!" Alan was a little surprised by Penelope's reaction, it's a good thing to have a gift!

"The problem is that this mud doll is my appearance, waving a wand and being menacing!"

Penelope felt that Percy was really a strange person, in the dueling club, he beat him so badly, he actually gave her a gift!

Alan felt that Percy was either taunting Penelope for being too fierce, or that he was just in love with Penelope. And the latter is extremely likely.

With a long whistle of the train, they arrived at the station.

Before leaving, Penelope glanced at Allen's open gift box, pointed to the robe in his arms and asked, "Did you give me only one person such a magic robe?"

Seeing Alan's puzzled eyes, Penelope coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Girls, I don't want to collide with others." ”

"I gave one to my sister Daisy and one for Hermione. Alan told the truth.

"That's it!" Penelope quickly left the carriage without looking back, and went to look for his fellow Ravenclaw little witches.

"Is she angry?" Seeing Penelope's expression as he left, Allen had a bad instinct.

Alan turned to pack up his suitcase, and saw that the sleeves of the robe for Hermione had been flipped to the top, with a pattern and color very similar to the robe given to Penelope.

Eren finally understood why Penelope asked like that, it turned out that she had seen this magic robe!

But at the same time, Alan is also puzzled, everyone wears a uniform black magic robe on weekdays, isn't that also a clash shirt? Why is Penelope unhappy?

It's hard to guess what the girl was thinking, and Alan shook his head and opened the gift box that Penelope had given him.

An extremely delicate men's necklace lies quietly in the box, and the pendant of the necklace is a delicate silver-white snowflake.

Also attached to the box was a card that read: "According to the boss, this necklace was made by an ancient alchemist with a happiness spell attached to it that can make the person wearing this necklace happy." I wish you happiness!"

Alan picked up the necklace, looked at it carefully, and put it around his neck.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of heat rush through his body. Is this feeling happiness? Maybe!

Alan shrugged, left the train, and with the crowd, returned to the castle.

This majestic castle has come to life with the influx of young wizards.

Due to previous attacks, very few students remained at the school during the Christmas period.

After a happy Christmas holiday, everyone's fear of the legend of the heir to the secret room disappeared a lot.

It is rare to see all kinds of strange amulets that were popular on campus before the holidays.

But this calm atmosphere lasted only one night.

Early the next morning, when Alan went to the restaurant for dinner, he heard the news of Hermione Granger's attack.

None of the young wizards returning to the castle had seen Hermione last night, not even Gryffindor.

There was a lot of talk about her disappearance, and everyone took it for granted that she had been attacked.

So, the students lined up to walk through the hospital to catch a glimpse of her.

Alan joins the team with the magic robes he had chosen for Hermione.

No one saw Hermione, as Madam Pomfrey had used her curtains, which hung around Hermione's hospital bed, to shield Hermione tightly.
