Chapter 42: Christmas Gifts

Neither of them mentioned it to Harry, but everything that happened in the library didn't go away.

Now, almost everyone is avoiding them.

It's as if they can grow their teeth at any moment and spew poisonous juice to attack others.

On Monday morning, at breakfast, Aven, Harry, and Hermione sat alone together, and the three of them were pointing and muttering.

"It's funny, it's a shame Ron didn't see it. Fred came over and said.

"Yes, Harry!" followed George, "you've scared everybody that you did what Snape had always wanted to do. ”

"It's not funny at all!"

Evan is in a bad mood right now, and in addition to being suspected by others, the low sales of this issue of Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry are also the main reason.

"Be happy, Aven. Fred patted him on the shoulder, "Our joke products are selling just as badly, but it's nothing. ”

"In these difficult times, we need a little bit of humor. George said.

And they did, and after breakfast, Fred and George ran up to Harry, striding with their heads held high, shouting, "Make way for the heir of Slytherin, the most wicked wizard is coming!"

"It's not something to make fun of. Percy was unhappy with this behavior.

"Get out of the way, Percy!" said Fred, "Harry is short on time. ”

"Yes, he's going to go to the secret room and have tea with his toothy servant. George laughed.

This is what Fred and George call humor, and Ginny wants to stop them.

Harry didn't care, at least the twins' idea that he was the heir of Slytherin was ridiculous, and it was comforting.

Their antics seemed to infuriate Draco Malfoy, though, and his face grew ugly every time he saw them do so.

When they visited Ron in the hospital room, they told him about it.

"It's because he can't wait to state that he actually did it. ”

Ron seemed to be recovering well, and he said insightfully, "You know how much Malfoy hates people for being superior to him in every way, he's done a dastardly job, and now Harry gets all the credits. ”

"yes, but it won't be long. Hermione said in a satisfied tone, "The polyjuice decoction is ready soon, and we can get the words out of his mouth at any time." ”

"I wish I could go, I'm almost fine, but Madam Pomfrey insisted that I stay here until the end of Christmas. ”

"Don't worry, we'll let you know the results as soon as possible, Ron. ”

Three days later, the semester ended.

Due to the current state of Hogwarts, most of the young wizards chose to go home for Christmas, and the castle was as thick and silent as snow on the ground.

This made Harry breathe a sigh of relief, and he was happy at the thought of being able to walk around Gryffindor Castle without being pointed at by others. Evan also stopped his research, his recent progress has been slow, and until now, he has not found a spell to replicate the sound of a rooster crowing or a way to deal with the basilisk. To make matters worse, Hagrid's rooster was almost dead.

Hagrid says it's either a fox or a blood-sucking monster attacking his rooster.

But Hermione insisted that it was strange, and she didn't know if she had noticed anything.

In the morning, they went to the school hospital to play with Ron with the Wizard Flag, and a few of them discussed the secret room for a while. After lunch, Evan and Harry went to the secret passage to practice a duel, while Hermione continued to read books in the library.

In addition to a few of them, Colin, Ginny, Fred, and George also stayed at the school, and they built a snowman outside the castle.

Percy was unimpressed by these childish behaviors, and he often went to the school hospital.

Ron was surprised to say that he had never known Percy cared so much about him, and that he had been visiting him in the hospital more often than everyone else combined, even though Ron had little to say to him.

But Percy still frequented the hospital and told them that he was only staying for Christmas because he was a full honor student and had a responsibility to support the teacher's work during this turbulent time, and to watch Ron keep him from getting into trouble.

During dinner, Evan sees Malfoy and his two henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle. In addition, he was surprised to see Justin Finreary, who had disappeared for a long time, and he also stayed.

Justin was in a terrible state, especially after seeing a few of them, and he seemed to be worried that Harry was going to attack him.

Harry tried to go over and apologize to him, but to no avail.

As soon as he saw Harry approaching him, Justin took a few pieces of bread from the table and hurried out, ruining Harry's well-being mood.

Early the next morning, Evan was woken up by Colin.

"Aven, thank you for giving me the magic camera, it's so valuable, I guess it cost a lot of money!" Colin shouted in surprise.

Evan saw Colin sitting on his bed unpacking the gifts, and his own bed was full of them. His parents ordered him a Halo 2001, which was in keeping with Muggles' knowledge of wizards, and they also wanted Evan to play more sports.

Colin gave him a precious photograph of the first issue of Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry standing together when it was a success.

Lockhart's gift was also a photograph, a collector's edition autographed of himself, which Evan was going to pass to Hermione later, and Hagrid gave him a large packet of creamy fudge, but almost as hard as a rock crust.

Ron gave him a book called "How to Better Run a Magical Newspaper", and Harry and Hermione gave him the same books, "Quidditch Basic Rules" and "Duel Secrets: A Detailed Explanation of Common Spells". It seems that the fact that Evan likes to read has left a deep impression on the minds of the three of them.

Fred and George gave Evan some of their most recent successes, and as they had agreed in Diagon Alley, Ginny gave him a thick black diary, of good quality.

If Evan plans to make Horcruxes in the future, he will definitely give priority to them.

By the way, Mrs. Shusley gave Evan a brand new hand-knitted sweater with a greeting card thanking Evan for helping Ron. They had learned everything from Dumbledore, and if it hadn't been for Evan finding out that Ron had been caught under the Imperius Curse, the consequences would have been devastating.

By the time Evan finally crawled out of the pile of gifts, he found that Harry and Hermione had already arrived in the common room, and the polyjuice potion had already been prepared.

The three of them went to the school hospital to find Ron and refresh the plan.

After making sure there was nothing missing, they decided to do it tonight, and be sure to ask Malfoy about it.
