By the time Evan returned to the Cauldron Bar, Hermione had already returned, sitting at the bar, absentmindedly listening to Harry beside her.

In front of the two of them were two large glasses full of orange juice, constantly bubbling outward.

It looked delicious, but neither of them seemed to have the heart to drink the juice.

Hermione's face was ruddy, and she unconsciously played with her cup, recalling the image of Evan kissing herself under the mistletoe.

She didn't expect that they really kissed at that time!!

It seemed like a good feeling, and Hermione remembered the aura on Aven.

Of course, in addition to sweetness, now calm down and think about it, this kind of behavior is too embarrassing.

The more Hermione thought about it, her face turned redder and her head was jumbled, completely oblivious to what Harry was saying as she sat next to her.

She didn't know how to face Evan in the future, whether to continue to do the same as before, or

Because she was too shy, Hermione ran back to the Leaky Cauldron without thinking about it, originally thinking that Evan would be back soon, but now that so much time had passed, and she didn't see Evan left and right, she became restless again.

She wasn't sure if she should have gone out to look for Aven, maybe he was still waiting for her in that alley, or maybe Aven was angry because he left suddenly?!

Perhaps, you should explain it yourself

Unlike Hermione, who suffered from gains and losses, Harry was now very high-natured.

He looked around excitedly, laughing happily. It was Harry's first time at a Christmas party, with Lupin, Sirius, Aven, and Hermione, completely free, without any scruples, and without so many rules.

In the last thirteen years of his life, such a thing was simply unimaginable.

At the Dursleys, he sat miserably beside Dudley every Christmas, eating the terrible food that Aunt Petty had given him, watching with envy as Dudley showed off the Christmas presents he had received, or hiding in a cupboard under the stairs, alone in a daze.

Even if I've spent Christmas at Hogwarts for the past two years, I don't feel like it is now.

In Harry's opinion, this year's Christmas was the best. Even better, he had just received a Christmas gift from Sirius.

He had thought that Sirius had forgotten about it, and he was still a little disappointed.

He knew that Sirius was not to blame, there were so many things that had happened today, especially after the events of Regulus, Sirius must be sad to death.

Harry never dreamed that Sirius had not only not forgotten about it, but that he had carefully prepared Christmas presents for himself.

And this gift is still a real fire crossbow arrow, exactly the same as the one he went to see and dreamed of every day when he was in Diagon Alley during the previous summer vacation.

It was incredible, and Harry still couldn't believe it.

He knew the price of firebolts, which was an astronomical amount. As Evan said, a firebolt could be more expensive than all the broomsticks of all the Hogwarts students combined, and not even Malfoy would have received such a valuable Christmas present.

The Firebolt has gone beyond the realm of a gift in the ordinary sense of the word, and this world-class broomstick is a complete art collection at a staggering price.

Only true Quidditch players are eligible to own it.

And now, I actually have a fire crossbow arrow!

Harry had dreamed countless times, but eventually woke up in the harsh reality, and he thought that as long as he had his beloved Light Wheel 2000, he would be completely satisfied!

When his light wheel was shattered to pieces by a battering willow in the game against Hufflepuff two months earlier, Harry thought his life had lost its meaning.

But now, Sirius gave him a fire bolt.

Harry would never forget the scene for the rest of his life, though Sirius repeatedly explained that the bolt was compensation for his previous appearance at Quidditch in Animagus form, and he was so frightened that he accidentally slipped off his broomstick.

But Harry knew it wasn't his fault, he just wanted to see what he looked like when he was playing, and it was all because of the Dementors that his Halo 2000 was finally shattered.

Looking at Sirius with a nervous voice, Harry had no idea what to say.

He just hugged each other, and with all his strength, tears mixed with joy and emotion flowed out uncontrollably.

From Sirius, Harry felt a long-lost affection.

He sat down excitedly at the bar, staring closely at the passage to Diagon Alley, ready to wait for Evan to come back and lead Evan over to see his fire bolts as soon as possible.

As soon as Evan pushed open the door and entered the Leaky Cauldron, he saw Harry and Hermione running towards him together, both of them were fast, as if they had something to say.

He froze in place, what is the situation?!

He is now full of vampire-related things, and plans to collect some magic books about vampires in the future to learn more about their magic.

If the girl named Elaine had come back to him, he wouldn't have been so passive.

Aven's thoughts forcibly took away from the vampire, and he looked at Harry and Hermione with strange expressions in front of him, wondering what was going on with the two of them?!

Harry smiled, as if something happy had happened.

Hermione, who was standing behind him, had a ruddy face and looked at herself with an unnatural expression, this girl must still be thinking about what had just happened.

As soon as Evan made eye contact with her, she hurriedly looked away.

As if realizing that something was wrong with her actions, Hermione took a deep breath and quickly waved her small fist into a fist in midair.

The next second, her gaze moved back again, and she mustered up the courage to look back at Evan.

Hermione's expression also returned to normal, except for the fact that her face was still a little rosy, everything else looked exactly the same as usual.

In fact, Hermione seems to be calm on the surface, but deep down she is turbulent.

It wasn't until Evan finally stopped looking at her that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Evan didn't know Hermione's actual state, and to be honest, he was slightly disappointed.

If it weren't for the vampire girl who came out of nowhere, he would have confessed to Hermione tonight.

It was a rare opportunity that was missed now!

It's a pity, but if Evan thinks about it, this is Hermione he is familiar with.

He was suddenly looking forward to the dance party next Christmas

Beside them, Harry didn't notice the anomaly of the two men, and he said happily, "Come on, Aven, I'll show you something"

He dragged Aven upstairs, Hermione following the two men.

"Look at what?" said Evan strangely, "what happened, why are you smiling so well?"

"I just received a gift from Sirius, it's unbelievable, guess what Sirius sent me?" Harry turned to look at Aven.

"I know, it's a firebolt!" Evan snapped, no wonder Harry was so excited.

He had known about it for a long time, and if it weren't for the fact that so much had happened today, Sirius would have taken out this gift long ago, and he wouldn't have to wait until now.

"How do you know?" Harry looked at Evan in surprise.

"You forget, on the last day of the Christmas break, I used to secretly accompany Hermione to Hogsmeade. I saw Sirius on the run there and saw him risk being caught and go to the owl post office to order this broom for you. Evan explained, "I thought you had received it!"

Hearing Aven's explanation, Harry looked even more moved by the thought that Sirius had given so much for himself. (To be continued.) )
