Chapter 391: Christmas in the Burrow
It was a white Christmas morning, and a small snowfall had covered the ground outside the Burrow with a white carpet, and the top of the Burrow and the black tents of the buildings next to it were dotted with clouds of snow.
Since there were many guests who came to the Burrow for Christmas, Blake moved his tent to everyone to live in.
When the tented guests got up, they walked through the snow just below their feet to the Burrow's living room, where they chatted while unpacking Christmas presents.
Suddenly, the conversation in the living room suddenly stopped. After a while, Tonya, who was struggling with a cube wooden box about a foot long, looked up and found everyone in the living room looking at her with curiosity and a wordless expression, and she asked confusedly, "What's wrong with everyone?" ”
Mrs. Weasley said to Tonya, "What are you doing, darling?" ”
Tonya noticed that everyone noticed that something was not right about her, so she put the wooden box in her hand on the coffee table, and then explained to everyone: "This is a gift from Furong and Zhang Xu together, but the box outside is set up with magic, and I need to crack the magic on it to open the box and take out the gift inside." ”
"No wonder the gift you prepared for him this year also set nearly fifty forbidden spells on the packaging." Charlie said to his girlfriend.
"That's right," Tonya replied, "if he can't crack the magic, he can't take out the gift I gave to Fleur." ”
"You young people really know how to play." Although Mr. Granger doesn't know magic, he still understands the way Tonya and Zhang Xu play to hurt each other.
"This is one of Professor Lemay's favorite Christmas games." Tonya said.
"Nicol Lemay?" Hermione asked in surprise, "The maker of the Philosopher's Stone?" ”
Hermione remembered that many years ago, she and Harry and Ron had been looking for this name for a long time, and then when she asked Zhang Xu if it was time, Zhang Xu said that he had talked to this person not long ago.
"That's right," replied Tonya, "Professor Nicol Lemay has been teaching alchemy in Beauxbatons for hundreds of years, and some of his little habits have been influencing us. ”
Clemence Posey, another Beauxbatons graduate in the living room, reminisced about something: "Professor Lemay likes to make chests that require puzzles or magic to be opened, so Beauxbatons students often use them when they exchange gifts." I was also in Beauxbatons, and I heard from Madame Maxim that Professor Lemay and Mr. Dumbledore also set up various spells and traps on the chests when they exchanged Christmas presents, and sometimes Professor Lemay was happier than he was when he received a gift. ”
People from Hogwarts were clearly interested in this custom of Beauxbatons.
"Can this box only be opened by yourself?" Lupin asked curiously.
"Not necessarily," Tonya replied, "unless the two of them are going to compete or duel each other in this way, they can ask their friends to help." ”
Creimance Posey also asked, "Is the magic he sets up difficult?" ”
The corners of Tonya's mouth twitched, and she replied, "It's not very difficult, but the angle of cracking is sometimes tricky. The gift he gave me last year needed to answer questions about Taylor's formula, homogeneous equations, and Euler's equations when it was opened. ”
Except for the Grangers, everyone else was confused, they didn't know what these things were.
"Maybe Professor Scarlett knows how to solve these problems." Harry said weakly.
"These questions are very simple knowledge for her." Tonya said.
Tonya had a good relationship with Scarlett back then, so Tonya also knew something about her.
"So is it difficult to solve the magic this time?" Charlie asked, "Why don't we all work it out together?" ”
Tonya thought for a moment and replied, "I just solved the outermost simple problems, and the rest of us can be a game together." ”
Tonya took out her wand and clicked on the wooden box a few times, and a 3D image was projected on top of the wooden box, with a blue ball in the center and a circle of different colored pieces around it.
"This is made by Zhang?" Fred's eyes widened and he asked incredulously.
"If I knew this magic, I would definitely make a fortune." Mr. Granger, whose eyes were also wide open, said with some distraction.
Tonya glanced at Fred and asked, "Didn't Zhang tell you that he had already finished Beauxbatons' alchemy course?" ”
Then she said to Mr. Granger, "I heard that he has been working on the technology of using magic to achieve 3D holographic projections. ”
"Is this a puzzle?" Harry was already a little excited, and he thought the box was like Dudley's video game console.
"I think so," Tonya replied, "that most of his questions are like this, and they have nothing to do with the knowledge of magic, so sometimes it's a headache. ”
"Can you let me try it?" Excited was Mr. Granger, "This looks like we're putting together nations on Earth, and I think I can do it." ”
Tonya said to Mr. Granger, who was eager to try, "No problem, you can ask Hermione to help." ”
Tonya saw his routine last year when she unlocked the magic on the box sent by Zhang Xu, and the magic on the box was not so much a seal as a game console that the whole family could play with. At that time, the reason why solving magic required advanced mathematics knowledge was because her father was a mathematics professor, which clearly meant that the family should be neat and happy. She had told Fleur a long time ago that she would take a leave of absence to follow Charlie to meet her parents in the UK at Christmas, and it seems that Zhang Xu made this "game console" that allowed her to play with the Weasley family after learning the news. If it weren't for the unexpected Mr. Granger's cut-off, the question of putting together a map of the world would have been for Mr. Weasley, who was interested in Muggle time.
With the name of cracking magic, which is actually a gift for playing the game, Tonya confirmed her guess more and more.
Since the second level of the game is a simulation of making a big meal, this level is obviously for Mrs. Weasley.
As a result, this level was brushed by Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Granger together.
At this time, everyone present and familiar with Zhang Xu knew his thoughts, and then joined in one after another.
Even Blake, who had been at odds with Zhang Xu, played a game of tandem moto with Harry.
Inside the Burrow, the people who play and the people who watch it are unconsciously addicted to it, and for lunch is just Mrs. Weasley making some sandwiches and everyone is free to deal with it.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Percy solved a very difficult reasoning problem, and Scrimgeour controlled an Auror to solve a group of dark wizards in a castle, that a burst of brilliant fireworks appeared on the chest, and then it opened automatically with a "pop", and then everyone realized that this was a Christmas gift from Zhang Xu and Fleur to Tonya.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency." Tonya thanked Scrimgeour.
The Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, who had brought Percy under the guise of coming to talk to Harry Potter about things, was brought in by Mr. Weasley to play with him, and then came back to his senses from the game, and then said to Tonya, "I'd love to be of service to you, beautiful lady." ”
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the inside of the box, and they saw that inside the box was a palm-sized gorgeous French classical-style jewelry box.
Tonya stepped forward and opened the jewelry box, only to see that the jewelry box had become larger after opening, and it had become a large jewelry box one foot square, and in each compartment was a jewelry with a pressed bottom.
Tonya could see that these jewels were all selected by Fleur, who was very familiar with her.
Last time, after Zhang Xu received a large pile of French antiques from Nicol Lemay, he and Fleur did an inventory together during the summer vacation, and in addition to various furniture, they also unexpectedly found a large number of jewelry in a box that was obviously in the style of French royalty. Later, Fleur transformed one of the jewelry boxes, and then selected a set of exquisite and gorgeous jewelry to give to her best friend, and this set of jewelry was intended for her best friend to use at the wedding.
Just looking at the empty space in the jewelry box, Charlie couldn't help but smile wryly.
Bill, who was on the side, patted the second brother on the shoulder and whispered to him, "Don't worry, in a few days, the store will have your share of the dividends." ”
Percy walked to Charlie's other side, patted the second brother's shoulder, and whispered, "Or I'll lend you my share of the dividend first." ”
At this time, the twin brothers came over and whispered to Percy, "Why don't the Auror office increase the purchase price of our purchase by 20%." ”
"So we can help Charlie a little."
Charlie pointed with his chin at Cremence Percy, who was admiring the jewelry in the jewelry box together, and whispered to Bill: "You better take care of yourself, I'm afraid you won't be at peace tonight." ”
Ron looked at the girls who were admiring the jewelry, and then at the brothers who were laughing inexplicably. When he just wanted to get over to his brothers, he was driven away by several older brothers on the grounds that they were playing with minors.
Ron, who couldn't understand the situation, walked up to Harry's side, and heard Blake say to Harry while looking at Ginny, who was shining with Hermione on a necklace, "Don't worry, I'll take you to the Black family's vault when the time comes, where you can pick whatever you want." ”
Harry nodded reflexively, as he did not know what this scene meant to him.
At this point, Scrimgeour walked over and said to Harry, "Can I talk to you alone, Mr. Potter?" ”
