[Dear Gail and Severus (I know he must be there too): Merry Christmas!]

Egypt is a magical place. There are still some very old traces of magic here. Unfortunately, my ancient scripts aren't very good, but Petunia can read most of them.

Dad laughed at me for laughing at me like this, and then my mother pinched me on the inside of my arm - I saw a big piece of purple, and I was a little glad that my mother was angry with me, but it looked too painful!

In fact, being laughed at by my father as a wizard doesn't seem to be a big deal if I'm not as good as Penny, but it's very painful to be pinched by my mother! I've never been pinched, but it hurts just to see it! (Don't worry, I gave Daddy your potion, and the bruises were gone in no time.) ）

I may have to postpone the Christmas gift to you, because I found a lot of fun things here, much better than what I had prepared! So, don't be angry or worried about not seeing my gift - although I know it's more likely to be the latter than the former.

Love you, Lily. 】

[Dear Gail: Merry Christmas!]

Lily told me about you during the summer vacation, and I knew I was worrying about it for nothing. Because you always see some things more clearly than others, I am sure you must also know that the world of ordinary people does not approve of same-sex love, and even fiercely opposes it.

But it seems that things are better in the wizarding world, which reassures me a little, though these are also redundant in reality. I believe in your choice and your abilities. So, as your friend, I offer my blessings and support.

Actually, I wasn't a big fan of traveling abroad at Christmas, but Egypt was a discount and took the shortest amount of time, so I finally convinced my mom and dad to make the trip to Egypt. At least the ancient atmosphere here is still charming!

In fact, it is superfluous for moms and dads to worry that we are studying too hard and that we will be overly stressed, excited, or emotionally unstable.

Lily is a good girl who loves to learn, and although it can be a little tiring for her to study both the wizarding world and ordinary people at the same time, now that Lily has decided to go to an ordinary university after graduating from Hogwarts, then I can say for sure - Lily's execution is not worse than mine, even better than me - it will definitely happen!

She's a bit smarter than I am, so she's comfortable with two different cultures. I'm already struggling with all these college applications and stuff like that. But since it's a goal I've set myself, why not work hard to achieve it? I still have that confidence.

Regarding the Slytherin thing, I think you're doing a good job right now. At least as a peer, no one can do it better than you!

The other day I was looking through the Daily Prophet for the period from the beginning of the school year to the start of the Christmas holidays. The situation in the wizarding world seems to be quite stable. But Gail, take pity on my friend who always me up, and be safe (the words here are described by Penny several times), even though I know you're good!

I saw something amazing in Egypt that I found very helpful for the study of the history of magic. If you're interested, I'll put together my thoughts owl for you by three months at the latest.

Love, Penny.

ps, seeing that Lily mentioned the magic text and being laughed at by her father, I thought you might be able to help her with her tuition after school started? 】

[Dear Severus: Merry Christmas.]

This is the first time I am writing to you, and I am very presumptuous.

Lily and Gail are very important people we all have. And these two very important people to me have a high opinion of you, and I also think that you are a loyal friend.

For you and Gail, I'm glad that Gail has finally found someone who can make him happy and stay with him for the rest of his life. I hope you will continue to be loyal and persistent to Gael's feelings, and never be fooled by anything else.

You're loyal, Penny Evans. 】

Three letters were taken by an owl to 19 Spider Tail Lane on the third day after the start of the Christmas break. The house-elf in charge of outside contact immediately sent the letter to Prince Manor.

Gail, on the other hand, snuggled up in a soft chair in front of the fireplace, was draped in a thick and fine blanket to read the letters. Severus sat beside him, close to Gail, with his back straight so that Gale could lean against him.

Gail would spend Christmas with Severus, not only Lily, but Penny too. Severus could sense the meaning of "I'm looking at you" and "be nice to Gail" from Penny's brief letters, which made him laugh a little subtly.

In fact, Gail felt the same way as Severus.

But in any case, this is Penny's worry and concern. Severus is happy to see that happen. His Gail deserves to be loved by all the people in the world! But this contradicts his desire to monopolize Gail, and even wants to hide Gale in a place that only he knows.

Love is always irrational, and after Severus told Gail about his feelings, he got a kiss from Gail: "It's nothing. After graduation, we can try to find a seclusion in an inaccessible place. What do you think of the Alps? Right at the foot of the hill, where a villa could be built, just the two of us. ”

"Is this different from Prince Manor?"

"Why not?" Gale argued, "It's inaccessible, isn't it?" ”

"Well, as long as you want." Severus replied with a smile.

With such a submissive attitude, Gail finally stopped looking like a fried cat. He lay back satisfied, but no longer leaning back in his chair, but resting his head on Severus' lap.

The aroma of burning wood filled the air, and Gail was intoxicated by such a dull and sweet time: "Maybe you don't need a villa, just a small cabin?" It's the size and size of our bedroom. We can huddle together. Then there was wind and snow outside, and it was warm inside. ”

Just like now, it's cold outside the house and warm inside.

Gail felt that he had fallen.

How long had it been since he had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, and how long had he not studied that multi-functional alchemy artifact? It can only be said that Godric's idea is really good - it successfully diverts Gail's attention and stops his masochistic behavior. Sadly, this happened only after Gail figured it out.

In the previous half of the school year, Gale took the lead in demonstrating what preparation is for the O/N exam. In addition to studying, the rest of the time is spent with Severus. Even when Severus was brewing potions, he was still crazy about things like "Seaver's fingers are so beautiful" and "the movement of turning is so handsome".

Now, after nearly half a semester of abandonment, Gale has adjusted his schedule and mindset before returning to school, and has begun to continue his system.

On the train back to school, Lily hand-delivered her chosen Christmas gift to Gail and Severus. This belated gift was an ankh, and it was Severus who gave it to Scarab. Here were two somewhat peculiar things she had found, bought from a peddler.

"Did you know that I saw some traces of ancient magic scripts in Egypt! Penny translated it and said that it was a "holy book" that recorded the gods of Egypt, and that it had some connection to Christianity. ”

Remus was attracted by Lily's words and was a little curious, which gave Lily a desire and desire to talk.

She began to talk about the magic texts she had seen in Egypt and their connection to the Bible: "The waters of the Ganges turned red like blood, locusts were overwhelming, and the eldest son died inexplicably...... Of course, according to the 'scientific analysis' of ordinary people, the water of the Ganges River turns red because of the flood of microorganisms, that is, algae. The locust plague was preceded by a major drought and flood, which is a natural condition for locust breeding. As for the eldest son, it is related to the customs of the Egyptians, the eldest son gets more food, but the disease comes from the mouth, food poisoning or something. ”

"Sometimes they're smart, and I mean ordinary people, who can build airplanes and spaceships. But sometimes they turn a blind eye to some things. Siris was also attracted to Lily. At first, he was very interested, but after hearing those "scientific" explanations, he couldn't help but interject.

"That's right. But they turn a blind eye because they don't know. Remember agnosticism? Or some people already know that this is supernatural, but in order to calm the hearts of the people, they say so. ”

It's as if the British government and the royal family also knew that there was a zài in the wizarding world. However, due to various relationships, it is silent about the existence of magic and wizards, and allows the Ministry of Magic to use amnestics or deletions on British citizens in the event of an emergency.

It's all for the sake of the stability of the country - the world has not yet developed to the point where it can accept all the magic, just like the mutants who are now in harmony with the U.S. government, but all of them are under the watchful eye of the government.

A few good friends discussed about the acceptance of ordinary people, and after chatting for a while, they realized that one person had not joined in.

Unlike his usual babbling, James scratched his ears and cheeks to think about what to write and draw on a piece of parchment, and from time to time he had to open a book in his hand and look twice.

"Dude! Fork! When Sirius saw that everyone had called James a few times, but the latter did not answer, he shouted into James's ear.

"Oh, are we going to Hogwarts?" James came back to his senses and found that he had become the center of everyone's attention, and he asked a little blankly, guessing that he might be getting out of the car, so he called him.

"No, it's going to take a while! Well, it's coming soon, too! But what are you doing so engrossedly? Lily felt that James was able to sit quietly and say nothing all day, as miraculous as Merlin's rebirth.

When James heard Lily ask, he immediately smiled to himself. He poked the parchment in front of him, motioning for her to look at it herself.

Lily picked up the parchment and looked at it in surprise, causing the others to gather together and look at the parchment head to head.
