Chapter 18 The golden galleon in the pudding = the coin in the dumpling
Chu Nan knows that Christmas, which is the most important festival in the West, is as important as the Chinese New Year. www.biquge.info To be honest, he has also attended some so-called Christmas parties, but those of us who celebrate Christmas like Valentine's Day must not have thought of the way this magical world is celebrated.
All the remaining students and most of the professors attended the dinner today, even the big man Hagrid had a seat, but he wasn't very interested in the Christmas dinner, he always cared about the conviviality and the wine!
As for Snape, who seriously affected the appetite of others, he voluntarily gave up today's banquet, and heard that he was going to do experiments all night. However, in Chu Nan's opinion, this can be regarded as his Christmas gift to everyone, after all, no one wants to face such a mean and sinister face in such a cheerful scene.
On the table were hundreds of roast turkeys, mountains of roasted potatoes, plates of small fat sausages, bowls of sea and buttered peas, large silver boat-shaped dishes with nutritious lingonberry sauce, and magical firecrackers piled up several feet high.
Among them, what interests Chu Nan the most is these magical firecrackers, they are not like the firecrackers set off during the Chinese New Year, but like the lucky gift flower packages in some online games, but they are not opened to get game props, but to get a variety of small toys and different styles of Christmas hats.
All in all, it's all a matter of luck.
The lively atmosphere really infected his lonely heart, and Chu Nan also picked up a firecracker with great interest, ready to try his luck.
With a single twist, the firecracker exploded with a loud explosion and emitted a blue smoke screen, from which burst out an admiral's hat and a whole new set of wizard chess.
Chu Nan casually put his hat on top of his head, as for wizard chess, he was really not good at it.
After looking around, he saw that Harry and Ron were also preparing to fire firecrackers, so Chu Nan walked over.
"Merry Christmas, both!"
"Merry Christmas, Professor Chu Nan!"
Chu Nan took out the wizarding chess he had just gotten and handed it to Harry, "I heard that you borrowed the wizarding chess you had yesterday, and I just gave it to you." ”
Harry hesitated, but Ron's eyes were already shining, and for him who was good at chess, this was the best Christmas present!
"Thank you, Professor Chu Nan." With that, Ron couldn't wait to take it.
"Okay, let me see the luck of the two of you."
Hearing this, Harry nodded thoughtfully, and then opened the firecracker in his hand with a heartfelt heart.
With a bang, a flower cap popped out of it, and there were several lifelike little white mice.
"Oh, you're not so lucky." After saying that, Ron also opened the "Christmas gift bag" in his hand, and after the same explosion, there was an ordinary wizard hat and a set of white wart potions.
Ron was embarrassed to hold either of these things, he didn't need any of them, but in the end he put them away as if they were treasures.
Neither of them offered anything satisfactory, so they didn't seem to be in high spirits.
"Alright, cheer up, it's almost time for dessert."
Sure enough, after the turkey was eaten, it was followed by a pink Christmas pudding. Chu Nan sat directly next to Harry and picked up a red pudding casually.
"Huh?" As soon as he entered, Chu Nan immediately frowned, what kind of thing is this, so hard? Could it be that Hogwarts' kitchens have also introduced Hagrid's crust technology?
Wrong!
Chu Nan reacted instantly, this was not a hard body, but a foreign object mixed in it.
Burst!
Chu Nan spit out that thing in an instant.
When it was long, a crisp sound spread through the hall, and there was a golden golden galleon jumping on the table in front of Chu Nan.
Then Dumbledore was the first to stand up, "Oh, it seems that our luckiest man tonight has been born, he is our Emeritus Professor, Chu Nan, let's cheer for him." ”
Now Chu Nan knows the meaning of this gold coin, it can be said that this is the same as the bread coin in the New Year's dumplings in northern China, which represents luck and blessings!
Seeing that all the students were cheering for him, Chu Nan's heart warmed, and then he stood up and bowed to everyone:
"Thank you, thank you!"
After thanking everyone, Chu Nan solemnly put away the gold coin, which was a gift worth collecting for a lifetime.
After eating over-the-fire Christmas pudding, baked dough, muffin pastries and refreshments for Christmas cakes, everyone felt full and a little sleepy.
Finally, with Dumbledore's blessings, everyone went back with the small gifts from the firecrackers.
---------
Back in the Gryffindor common room, Ron patted his head in frustration, "Oh, we forgot to ask the professor what this thing does." With that, he took out the golden armor talisman from his pocket.
Harry found out that the white rats he had gotten were gone, could they end up being Mrs. Norris's (Filch's cat) dinner? Absent-minded, he had no choice but to reply casually: "I don't think Professor Chu Nan will joke with us." As he spoke, he gently patted the inside pocket of his chest.
Ron shrugged his shoulders and slipped the talisman back into his pocket, just then he suddenly saw a package under Harry's couch.
"Harry, there's a package under your feet."
When Harry heard this, he immediately lowered his head, and then looked puzzled, "I remember we didn't have it when we opened the gift in the morning. ”
As for Ron, he didn't think about it that much, "Whatever, take it apart and take a look." ”
Harry unwrapped the package, and a silky silver-gray thing slid down and folded on the floor, glittering.
Ron gasped in amazement, "Oh My God! I've heard of it! He threw down the "Frog Candy" in his hand and pounced quickly, "If this is something I imagined - it is so rare and precious." ”
"What is it?"
Harry picked up the shiny silver-white cloth from the ground and thought it had a strange texture, as soft as if it had been woven from water.
"I'm sure it's an invisibility cloak," Ron said with awe-inspiring a look on his face, "give it a try." ”
Harry lifted his cloak over his shoulder, and Ron shouted, "Look down!" ”
Harry looked at his feet, and his feet were gone. He rushed to the mirror, and it was true, in the mirror he saw only his head suspended in mid-air, and his whole body completely invisible. He pulled the cloak over his head, and the whole thing was gone.
"There's a note, there's a note falling out,......" Ron said suddenly.
