Chapter 187: Hermione's Christmas Present

Because of the newspaper, Aven, Harry, and Hermione are still hospitalized, but they are busy to death every day.

Evan, in particular, stayed up late into the night almost every day.

In this atmosphere, the dawn of Christmas quietly arrived, the weather was cold, and it was self-contained, and only three people were left in the ward: Aven, Harry, and Hermione.

On Christmas morning, Evan was woken up by a pillow thrown at him by Harry.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Harry, Merry Christmas, Hermione!"

Evan scrambled to his feet, squinting in the half-light and half-darkness at the foot of his bed, where a mountain of packages had piled up.

Harry and Hermione were already tearing the wrappers of their own gifts, and Evan noticed that the three of them had received a lot more gifts this year than in previous years.

"Strange, why are there so many gifts?" muttered Aven.

"Most of these gifts were from Hogwarts Wizards readers, and many of them were just Christmas cards. Hermione explained.

Since the series of stories about Peter Pettigrew was published, Aven, Harry, and Hermione have also become famous. While the focus was on Sirius Black, people were amazed at how three twelve- and thirteen-year-old wizards were able to catch an evil dark wizard.

There are a lot of peers who have come to worship them, writing to them regularly.

In addition to the young wizards in England, Evan noticed that many of these Christmas cards were mailed from abroad. For example, the pink greeting card in his hand comes from a ten-year-old girl named Gabridra Curl, from France.

Gabrielle wishes Evan a Merry Christmas on the card, and then expresses her admiration for Evan for catching Peter Pettigrew in a short sentence, and hopes that Evan will write back to her.

Evan smiled at the cute little angel at the end of the card, and just as he was about to look at the other Christmas cards, he heard Harry's chagrin.

"Look, the Dursleys gave me an old sock that I wore out, it's worse than last year's toothpick, the fifty pence coin the year before, they must have thought I was a house-elf!" Harry tossed the sock under the bed, unwrapping a text message attached to the package.

It told him to inquire and see if he could stay at Hogwarts for the summer.

"Thankfully, I'm finally getting rid of them this summer. Sirius said I could live with him, I wonder if he had a house?!" Harry rejoiced as he slipped a scarlet sweater over his body and continued, "This is a hooded leather coat from Mrs. Weasley, and you two seem to have it too. ”

"I saw it, my one was maroon, but there were no letters on it. Hermione picked up a box, looked at it hesitantly for a moment, and set it aside, "It's Hagrid's special minced meat pie, it smells very special, it smells like cabbage and pork liver mixed together, I think it's best not to try it lightly." ”

Evan also began to unpack his own gifts, in addition to the Christmas cards from the readers, Mrs. Weasley's and Hagrid's gifts, his parents ordered him a set of gold crucibles.

He'd seen it in the Diagon Alley store before, and the price was staggering.

In Aven's opinion, this gold cauldron was a complete art collection, and no wizard would be a loser enough to use it to make potions.

Evan sighed and carefully put away the gold cauldron.

His parents lacked knowledge of the wizarding world and were accustomed to seeing wizards from a Muggle perspective, believing that the most expensive was the best.

Ever since Evan went to Hogwarts, they had bought him too many things he didn't need. The most typical is the Broomstick Halo 2001 that was given to him last Christmas, which was kept under Aven's bed before Harry borrowed it and was never taken out.

When Evan brought it up during the summer vacation, they learned that wizards don't always fly around with brooms like in the story.

And it seems that he just remembered that his son has a severe fear of heights, which cannot be cured even by magic.

In addition to his parents' gifts, Harry gave him a set of Quidditch model toys, a huge glass ball with a Quidditch field inside, and the model inside automatically flew into the game with the slightest touch of his wand.

Ron gave him a book, Ginny was a gorgeous quill, Colin was a wizarding board game, Luna was a very valuable photo that was said to prove the existence of the Bubble Snot, Fred and George's gift was a prank prop they had developed themselves, and the other little wizards were all sorts of candy and food, most of which were ordered from Hogsmeade.

To Aivan's surprise, Qiu Zhang also gave him a gift. It is a dark blue scarf, with very fine workmanship, which should be the product of Madame Morkin's shop.

"Aven, thank you for giving me my watch. Hermione looked up at the scarf in Aven's hand, the lovely smile on her face froze, and she hesitated and said, "This scarf is"

Hermione squinted, and Evan knew that meant she was thinking.

"It was a gift from Autumn. Evan explained.

"Well, I don't know what I thought my gift was"

Evan looked strangely at Hermione, whose face suddenly turned red, not knowing what she was talking about, and following her gaze, he saw the last package under his bed.

It was supposed to be Hermione's gift, and it was bulging inside.

Under Hermione's gaze, Evan tore open the package, which turned out to be a scarf.

On this red and yellow scarf, a Gryffindor lion was sewn on it, but it looked a little deformed, and the workmanship was much worse than the scarf given by Autumn, and it was very likely that Hermione sewed it herself.

Evan suddenly thought, no wonder Hermione had such an expression now.

Her Christmas presents are exactly the same as Qiu's, they are all scarves.

Evan remembered that Hermione had told herself in Hogsmeade the other day that she had been preparing her Christmas present for a long time, and she was sure that she would be absolutely satisfied.

No one thought that her gift would be a scarf.

This scarf must have been made by Hermione herself, and I don't know how long she had been sewing it, but it must have been very difficult.

Before today, there was no news about it, and no one found out that Hermione was secretly making a scarf, and she must have gone back to the dorm room every night after everyone had gone to bed and secretly sewed it.

Touching the slightly rough scarf, Aiwen's heart was full of emotion.

In terms of value, this scarf is not very valuable, and in terms of fineness, it is much worse than the one sent in autumn, but it is full of girls' hearts and needles.

Evan looked up at Hermione, whose face was flushed.

He knew that she must be very nervous now, and the gifts she had carefully prepared for so long were the same as others, and if she were herself, she would definitely be very disappointed and cranky.

"I don't know, Aven!" Hermione said with a blushing face, "I didn't expect Qiu Zhang to give you a scarf too, I knew"

"Thank you, Hermione!" Evan interrupted Hermione, whispering, "I love this scarf so much, it's the best Christmas gift I've ever received." (To be continued.) )
