Chapter 45: Christmas
"Harry! Blondie! Let's open the gifts~" When Brandi came out of the bathroom refreshed, Ron's uninhibited laughter was already echoing in the bedroom, and following the reputation, Brandi found that there were a small pile of gifts next to everyone's bed.
"I really don't know what I'm going to receive?" I remember Harry said that Christmas was quite miserable before, and it seemed that he had received any nails or sticks, and when he came to Hogwarts, the Christmas gifts naturally made him excited. He jumped out of bed and slowly began to unwrap his gifts.
"What else can you receive? Toilet paper! Ron said, laboriously unwrapping a large package, his gift pile much larger than Harry and Brandy's. He looked at the thing in his hand in embarrassment, "Uh, Brandy, are you sure I need this?" ”
What Brandi gave Ron was a head-sized glass orb with a vague inside, like a prophecy orb used by chattering witches. However, it was clear that Brandi would not really send something so boring. Just tap the crystal ball with your wand and the crystal ball will show a panoramic shot of the classic 1984 Quidditch World Cup, including the players and the spectators, just hold it in the palm of your hand and concentrate on where you want to look.
There's nothing quite like such a mobile playback device to impress a Quidditch diehard, and Ron almost jumps up and down to Brandy, stammering in thanks, excitedly even calling Brandy's name......
Brandi naturally had gifts, although it seemed to be only a small pile, but when Brandi dismantled them one by one, he found out...... There's not a lot of stuff at all! Although most of them were greeting cards or something, Brandi still accepted them with gratitude.
First, the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff girls gave them a couple of greeting cards in Juan script to thank Brandy for helping them in spell class, and Lavender and the Gryffindor girls got together and gave him a silver pocket watch. There are no numerals on the pocket watch to represent the time, only three silver-gray hands of varying lengths. The greeting card says that this is a very magical magic item, which can be used once a day, as long as you tap this pocket watch with your wand, and then pronounce a noun, the three hands will automatically point to the nearest three detailed positions that exist within three hundred meters of Brandy, the shorter the pointer, the closer the thing is to you, and if it is above or below you, the tip of the needle will be slightly upturned and pressed down. However, it doesn't seem to work very well, a slightly more powerful magic item can cut off its detection, and it is impossible to distinguish between confusion spells or potions that have changed, once there are more than three targets within a hundred meters, the pointer will start to change rapidly, constantly pointing in all directions. Brandi tried curiously.
"Cats!"
The shortest hand suddenly spun rapidly, and finally slowly pointed in the direction of five o'clock, and Brandi looked back, and sure enough, Yale was lying comfortably on the soft chair behind him on the right side, flicking his tail for a while. "What an amazing thing...... he sighed happily, and then carefully tucked his pocket watch close to his body.
The Gryffindor brothers were obviously very casual, some of them sent candy and chocolate, and some of the Weasley brothers sent a large portion of barbecue for some reason, and the corners of Brandi's mouth twitched when he saw it, and it seemed that the appearance of himself starving all over the field the day before yesterday had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Brandi looked pitifully at Yale, who didn't know where he had gone, and when he came back, he had a dried fish in his mouth......
It scurried up to Brandy's lap, placed the dried fish on it, and meowed.
…… Is this a Christmas gift for fear that your owner will starve to death......
"Don't~ The festival I worked so hard to save ......"
————
Harry apparently knew that Brandi loved to delve into all kinds of strange spells, and gave him a copy of the Heartbeat Spell Book, which contained the same curious contents as the name...... Brandi actually found a spell from it that can make (and can only do) a boy's breast augmentation, which gives Brandi a new understanding of how obscene Harry is.
Neville gave Brandy a pot of cactus, no, maybe not a cactus, anyway in the greeting card he said that the plant would emit a gas that would suppress snoring at night, and God knows how good news that would be for Brandy! Because of Seamus's wild sleeping position and snoring, Brandi had to fall asleep late every night.
Professor Dumbledore actually gave him a rare gift, but when the gift was opened, it was only a black line on Brandy's end, a gold-trimmed "Wizard's Hat Maintenance Manual", and a note telling him that if he needed help with anything, he could go directly to the Headmaster's office to get his hat, and of course, including housekeeping cleaning services.
I have to say that Professor Dumbledore's heart is black......
Hagrid gave Brandi a package wrapped in thick brown paper, or rather, he seemed to give Harry and Ron one without discrimination, presumably Hermione's words should have been there, and Parvati probably didn't have a chance if he hadn't been to the cabin. But his own was a chunk of milk candy, Harry's was a crudely made piccolo, and Ron's was a statue. Please forgive Brandi for using a piece to describe it, because it is completely unrecognizable to the naked eye, as it is written on the greeting card, which is a statue of Ron riding on a broomstick......
If you have to open your mind, it's more like Ron is holding a stick with a thick end and enjoying a sacred ritual called Aruba......
"Poof~~~" Brandi and Harry subconsciously covered their mouths.
"You ...... What do you think of this statue......" Ron lowered his head, not knowing what the expression on his face was, the resentment had turned into a substantial black gas, swirling above his head......
[No, if you laugh out loud now...... I'm going to be killed......]
……………………
The rest was very warm, Parvati, the shoulder-length dark-haired girl who knew she didn't sleep well...... Very understandingly, he gave himself a bracelet purportedly made of agarwood, with a small magic attached to it, which could make Brandi dream of relaxing and pleasant things in his dreams, of course, given Dumbledore's description of his soul, this magic seemed to work. The bracelet seems to be made by himself, and it is not very exquisite, but with this heart, Brandi is still happily strung on his wrist.
In the end, it was Hermione's gift. Gently unwrapping the package, a crimson scarf was lying there quietly. It is also embroidered with crooked words - To the fool.
"Wow~Brandy!" The sharp-eyed Ron saw this different gift at a glance, and he rushed to Brandi with an arrow, "There are actually girls knitting scarves for you!" You're only in the first grade! Who is it? Could it be your legendary Ravenclaw girlfriend?! ”
Brandi hurriedly put the note attached with the gift into his pocket.
"What, what's the matter...... This is my mother's weaving! ”
He had to find a lame excuse to hide it from Ron, and a discerning person could see at a glance that the scarf was crooked, with countless threads and traces of continuation, was definitely a novice's first finished product. Thankfully, Ron and Harry weren't the fabled sighted men......
Sending away the two gossip men, Brandi slowly stroked the scarf, as if he could see the clumsy knitting sitting by the fireplace, letting out an exclamation from time to time, putting his injured finger in his mouth and sucking.
However, the emotion that had been brewing was perfectly destroyed when he saw Hermione's letter......
"Brandi! No, Mr. Barton! I solemnly warn you not to think about it! It's just a failure when I knit scarves for my mom and dad! It's really because I don't know what to give you this idiot, so I will send it to you casually! That's it! ”
Forehead...... What a dishonest guy.
Carefully storing the scarf, Brandi suddenly found that he could look at the sweater that Ron's mother knitted for Harry, it was a forgiveness color, I don't know how his mother knew Harry's figure, and it could be knitted just to fit his figure, in addition, there was a large box of gummies, Brandi rubbed a piece with it, and it tasted very good.
"Well, I'm sorry Brandi, probably because my mother hasn't seen you, so I can't knit you a ...... too"
"Hah! What kind of thing is this...... Wait, oh my! What is Harina. Brandi's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed to a cloak Harry had just unfurled.
"Cloak of Invisibility!"
…………………………………………
It was such an amazing thing that could completely disappear into the void, and if it weren't for being able to touch Harry, Brandi would almost have thought that Harry had disappeared from this world! Watching Harry happily put away the invisibility cloak, Brandi couldn't help but exchange a complicated look with Ron who was about to say that grapes were sour if he couldn't eat them.
The next moment, the two of them threw Harry to the ground together!
"Ahh~~ You bastard would have received such a nice birthday present!"
"That is to say, my heart is bleeding! Doesn't your conscience hurt? ”
With all four hands on his side, Harry's weakness was tickled, and he didn't stop until he couldn't breathe and begged for mercy......
By the time the two brothers reached Brandy's bedroom, the battle was over. At Harry's request, Brandi and Ron naturally wouldn't tell the matter of the invisibility cloak, after all, it was also considered personal privacy.
So several people talked and laughed loudly, and gathered together to form a flow of people, and by the way, Percy, who had just entered the door, was put on a sweater by Fred......
………………
"Wow~~~~"
Brandi had never seen such a lavish Christmas feast, dozens of meters long tables were full of delicious food, fat roast turkeys were piled up into small hills, and there were many different flavors of sauces next to them. Countless small gifts hung from the ceiling with thin threads, which could be easily taken down with a single stretch of hand, although most of them were chocolate candy and other knick-knacks.
Every few seats, there will be a large pile of magic firecrackers, in addition to the magnificent colored clouds, there will be substantial benefits, and Brandi gets a purse that looks like poop and a rubber mouse that can really run around in the roar of a salute. Harry also got a wizarding chess piece that was truly his own; Ron got a few more white mice jumping up and down to show his youth, but unfortunately he was already spotted...... And it's true love~
After enjoying a good meal, Harry and Ron invited themselves to a snowball fight, Brandi actually disagreed at first, you can't let me hit me, I have so much shit in a day, and I have to find that damn Nick Lemay, and I have to practice magic control as usual, especially since I have been preparing a gift for Hermione for a while, and the practice time has been greatly reduced.
However, when George and Fred burst out from the flanks, he knew that resistance would be futile. But it's really tiring to think about this time, and it's time to relax. So he shrugged his shoulders, and simply did not resist, and was honestly dragged outside the tower by the giggling crowd.
