Volume 1 I Don't Want the Philosopher's Stone Chapter 24 Christmas Gifts

Hogwarts, Gryffindor common room.

Harry received many gifts, including an invisibility cloak of unknown origin. But the Cloak of Invisibility is rare, but Harry's favorite gift is another.

It's a professional broomstick maintenance tool. The Halo 2,000 had become one of Harry's most cherished and treasured personal belongings. Accordingly, Harry had been working on conservation for a long time. Harry had read the price of maintenance tools in the newspapers, and even though his parents had left him a lot of money, Harry was still reluctant to buy even one of the most common ones, let alone the most professional and expensive one.

The kit was given to Harry by Daphany, along with a sticky note. For the best Seeker in the first year of Hogwarts, the captain of the strongest Quidditch team at Hogwarts.

"Why does she think their Slytherin is the best team!" Ron on the side said sourly, Daphany gave Harry a gift, but didn't give it to him.

"Hmm...... If you look at the current record, that's true......" Harry said weakly. The first round of the Quidditch House Cup has been played. At present, Slytherin is ranked first with three wins and one defeat, Gryffindor is second with two wins and one defeat, Hufflepuff is third with one win and two defeats, but Ravenclaw, who has hovered in second and third in previous years, has lost three consecutive games in the first round this year and ranked fourth.

"But we have a better margin than theirs!" Ron said unconvinced. Of course, what he said is also true. Slytherin has seen a huge improvement in chasers and goalkeepers and batsmen this year thanks to Daphany's special training. Very good at scoring and defending. But the Seeker is their shortcoming. It's not that Terrance has a lot of food, on the contrary, Terrance's skills are good in the Slytherin team. However, the Seekers of the other teams are also the most skilled on the team.

As a result, apart from a relatively big win against Ravenclaw, the Golden Snitch was won against Gryffindor and Hufflepuff by accumulating points. Although they won the game, they could not win by many points.

On the contrary, although Gryffindor is in second place, because of Harry Potter's activity, he won the Golden Snitch in three games. Except for the game against Slytherin, which was lost because of the difference in points, the other two games were above 150 points. This makes their goal difference much higher than that of Slytherin.

If Slytherin wins all three of their matches again in the second round, they will win the Quidditch House Cup. But if they lose to Gryffindor, and Gryffindor wins the other two. With both sides winning five of two rounds, Gryffindor would win the Quidditch House Cup on goal difference.

This is something that Wood has repeatedly instilled in Harry and the others, in the second round, they must win all of them, and the goal difference must be higher than that of Slytherin!

Harry opened his mouth, but didn't refute anything. Although Daphany was his friend, Ron was also a good friend. And most importantly, Harry did want to win the Quidditch House Cup. Being treated as useless waste by the Dethrie family since he was a child, and being able to prove that he was better than everyone else in some way was a very meaningful thing for Harry!

However, despite his desire to win over Daphany, Harry was still very grateful for Daphany's gift. At the same time, he was a little ashamed that he had not prepared any gifts for Daphany. In fact, he didn't have any gifts for anyone, because Harry, who had never received a gift, had no idea of that.

There was another man in a similar situation to Harry.

In Malfoy's Manor, Draco looked at the little dragon in front of him who was obviously roaring, but still cute. The sticky note in his hand was pinched by him.

"My stupid cousin, do you like it? Is it embarrassing? Tell me about it! ”

That's right, Daphany gave Draco a dragon puppet. The small shop is one of the best entertainment and magic shops in England and Europe. The technical force is really strong. Less than three days after Daphne made her request for comments, she responded.

A total of five dragons and four other miniature magical creatures were sent to Daphne's house, Lestranze Manor. Daphany examines the workmanship and the spirituality of the little ones. Superb! Although the price is as high as 20 gold gallons per stone - which is a very, very expensive price. Still, Daphany felt it was worth it.

But I have to say that Daphany is definitely a personality who likes the new and hates the old. After two days of playing, Daphany was already bored. Dragons and demonic creatures certainly have a certain spirituality, but they are actually pre-set. They react to specific situations, but they are still not really self-aware. Once this was confirmed, Daphany became less interested in them. So I gave it out as a gift.

Draco's love for dragons was well known in the circle. Daphany gave one of the blue dragons as a gift to Draco.

I have to say that when he first saw the little dragon, Draco's eyes were straight, and he almost drooled. What could be more satisfying than this gift? No!

However, when Draco saw Daphine's note, he felt bad. It turned out to be Daphany, and she rightly called herself cousin! Forget about the cousin, it's still a stupid cousin! This, this, this...... For the sake of Xiaolong, I'll put up with it!

Draco thought so, and then remembered that Daphany had given her a gift, but she didn't seem to have given it to Daphany!

This matter may not seem like a big deal, but it is actually a bit serious in aristocratic circles. It would be considered a very rude thing. But Christmas Eve had passed, and it was too late to prepare.

So Draco became another extremely tangled child besides Harry.

Compared to the two, the other people who received Dafanie's gifts were in a much better state of mind. Because most of the people Daphany gave gifts to were weekdays, the relationship was not bad. Therefore, whether it is intentional or convenient, most of them also prepare gifts for Dafanie. Although it seems, none of them seem to be ready for Daphany.

Qiu Zhang received a light wheel of two thousand! When she received a gift at home, Autumn almost screamed in surprise. She has always been very fond of Quidditch. When I was in my second year, I signed up for the Quidditch team for the first time and successfully entered the ranks of candidates. Although I can't compete yet, I've already started training.

The family is neither for nor against Cho's liking of Quidditch. The Zhang family is not very keen on Quidditch except for Qiu, so naturally they will not be fanatical about support. Of course, I won't spend money to buy a really very expensive broomstick for Aki. Autumn training can only use the most common broom in the academy, and only occasionally when the main team is resting, can you line up to use the broom of the team members, which is just a sweep of the third or fourth. There is still a gap compared to the light wheel.

You must know that today, when the two old broom Mars are basically eliminated by professional clubs, and most of the silver arrows are only used by second-tier clubs, the light wheel is the leader in the industry! The sweeping series can only be said to be supporting, barely making a profit and not going out of business.

I usually envy the exclusive brooms of other team members, but I didn't expect to receive one at this time, which is still even better, and even the best light wheel on the market at this time. Qiu's excitement is simply indescribable. However, when she saw that the person who gave the gift was Daphany, Qiu was still a little embarrassed. Although she was very careful to prepare a gift for Daphany - a scarf that she had knitted by hand. When she was knitting this scarf, the little sister in the dormitory was very excited and asked her if she had a boyfriend. When I knew that she was going to give it to Daphany, I was unexpectedly not. Obviously, even in a corrupt country, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old is not so corrupt.

Autumn is purely because of the limited pocket money, and he can't afford to buy anything particularly rare. This is already the most heartfelt gift she can think of. But compared to Daphne's light wheel of 2,000, it was suddenly dwarfed! At the same time, Cho was a little strange that she never seemed to mention to Daphany that she liked Quidditch and was an alternate player, so how could Daphany know to give such a gift?

If you are interested in inquiring, then Daphine is really interested!

The gift Hermione received was a summary of the essentials of mid-level magic, one of the hardest books on the market. It contains instructions for casting intermediate spells and some tips. Hermione, who had basically completed her elementary magical studies, expressed her satisfaction. Her gift to Daphany was also a book, but it was an introduction to potions, which cost Hermione a long time to collect. They are both buying books, and the two have quite the same views on each other.

The gift to Neville was something that Daphany had hesitated to decide, a griffon puppet. This is one of the puppets that Daphne and a few dragon puppets came to buy. According to Daphany's original plan, she was going to give Neville a new wand to replace the one who had already confessed. But on second thought, this may not have been an experience for Neville. Besides, Neville's wand was given to him by his grandmother, and it didn't seem good to change it at will.

Neville's gift to Daphany surprised somewhat.

It was a four-leaf clover that had been specially treated and sealed in amber. The four-leaf clover is considered a clover grass, both ordinary people and wizards alike. I don't know where Neville got the four-leaf clover, each blade of grass shimmers with the luster of an emerald green elite, and the pure and transparent amber is like a large drop of water, enveloping the four-leaf clover. In the sun, the green leaves are full of life.

Of all the gifts she received this year, Daphany was the most popular with this amber and the scarf that Little Beauty gave in autumn. The former is inlaid in a Mithril pendant that hangs around the neck. The latter naturally took it without hesitation.

Some of the other Hogwarts students who had a good relationship, and even members of the Quidditch team, Daphany also gave gifts. But not so much. They were all popular gifts, and most of the other gifts that Daphany received were nothing new, and they were all courtesy.

Ron was upset not to receive a gift from Daphany. And when the Christmas break was over, Hermione returned to Ron to find that he was the only one who hadn't received the present. Although he did not have any friendship with Daphany of the three, it still made his dislike of Daphany worse.
