Looking at the scenery flashing outside the window, Ios was very interested, the last time I came here was already afternoon, and the light was not very good,

A lot of the scenery was left unseen, but now you can enjoy it.

Although the speed of the train is fast, his motion capture ability is also quite good, and he can barely appreciate it, and it is because of the speed

Fast enough to see more in a limited time.

The last time I arrived at Hogwarts from King's Cross Station it was late afternoon, but this time I departed from Hogwarts much earlier, considering the urgency

In the mood of the students who went home, the bus left at 8 o'clock in the morning and they arrived at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

As the crowd got off the train, he saw Old John as soon as he got out of the nine-and-three-quarters platform, and it seemed that Spike had a good idea

Good delivery to them.

Speaking of Spike, this little guy has been having a good time lately.

During the day, if I don't want to go out, I sleep in the owl room built by the college with other owls, and at night I fly around

To play or find food, I also come to Ios from time to time to ask for some snacks, which can be said to be very pleasant.

Old John had apparently been keeping an eye on this side as well, and as soon as Ios came out, he noticed it, with a smile on his face, albeit with a cane

The shape is also a little rickety, but it still looks very spiritual.

When Ios came closer, he looked Ios up and down, showing a satisfied look: "Very good! We've been worried about you

How's it going over there, after all..."

At this point he stopped abruptly, looked around covertly, and then didn't continue the topic just now, "Jane has always been

I miss you, and she has been in a good mood for the past few days when I learned that you were back. ”

Ios didn't say anything, just followed him into a taxi, and soon returned home.

When he entered the door, old John couldn't help it, and looked like he wanted to say something. Ios didn't know what he was trying to say, didn't he?

Wizard's question, but he pretended not to see it and went straight to Jane.

Doesn't he know his character after spending many years with old John, and he is the one who can climb the pole the most, if it is too easy to satisfy him

I'm sure he's going to be annoyed to death for the next few days, so it's better to dry him.

Jane came out of the kitchen at this time, and she heard the movement in the living room and knew that they were back.

"You're back, let me see!"

Jane saw Ios at a glance, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed him with both hands to look left and right, and old John had no choice but to continue to hold back

Interrupt them.

When they sat down, Old John finally couldn't contain his curiosity: "Ios, what did you learn in school?

Can you show us? ”

"I spent most of my time learning how to cast magic, as well as potions, herb habits, magic theories, and so on. But

I can't show it to you,"

When Old John heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

"Underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school and will be punished."

As soon as she heard this, Jane glared at old John, and then said to Ios, "Leave him alone, he is like this." ”

Old John also smiled, "I didn't know there would be such a thing, I'm just curious." ”

"Don't worry, I've got a gift for you." Ios also stopped selling off, but they obviously didn't care, so he was strong

Tune up: "A magical gift." ”

This emphasis aroused their curiosity, and they suddenly realized that Ios was a wizard, and although he was still learning, there was no doubt about it

It is possible to come into contact with many wonderful things that they have never seen before, and to come up with gifts that surprise them.

But despite their curiosity, they didn't ask any more questions, Christmas Eve was already very close, and then they would know what the gift was.

On Christmas Eve, Ios and Sovor both put their presents under the Christmas tree instead of in each other's rooms. This world though there is

Magic, but Santa Claus still doesn't exist.

In the morning, when Ios got up, washed up, went downstairs to make breakfast, and found old John unpacking the gift he had given him, and saw it

I was very puzzled when I was working on the delicate 'chess' --

Where is the magic? Although it is very delicate and lifelike, it is just a chess game.

And Jane was looking at the teapot he had given, and she didn't find anything magical.

Seeing the confused looks of the two, Ios introduced them directly: "The function of this teapot is to keep warm, it allows you to use."

After drinking black tea, you don't have to worry about the problem of cold down. ”

"As for the chess, it's a wizard's chess, and the pieces are alive."

"Alive?!" Old John was surprised, and even his eyes widened unconsciously.

"That's right, alive."

"Unthinkable! Let's play a game of chess and try it out! ”

"Breakfast first!" Jane couldn't help it.

He quickly ate his breakfast, and then looked at Ios, who was a little uncomfortable with him,

He couldn't help but speed up, and when he swallowed the last bite of bread, he was immediately pulled away by old John.

When he saw the chess pieces follow his orders and move to the designated position, he was excited, and he sighed again and again that it was really amazing, but he didn't wait for him to recover

When he regained his mood, he immediately saw that his chess pieces were knocked down by Ios's chess pieces.

That's right, hit the stomach.

His eyes widened, and even his mouth opened unconsciously, and he pointed to the chessboard: "This... This...", even the words are not good

Soot.

However, after he calmed down, his eyes were completely different when he looked at these chess pieces, flashing with an inexplicable light.

At first, when he saw the chess piece move, he thought that was why it was called alive, but then he saw his own taxi

It was only after the soldier was slashed by the queen of Ios that he finally understood what a living pawn was.

Old John couldn't put down the wizarding chess given by Ios, completely ignoring that he was a stinky chess basket, and pulled Ios non-stop

After Ios was completely unwilling to play chess with him again, he asked Jane to play chess with him.

However, Jane was also interested in these 'living' chess pieces, so she didn't care about anything, and just made them in the teapot that Ios had given her

A pot of black tea, enjoying black tea while playing chess with Old John.

Seeing that they were all satisfied with the gifts he gave, Ios was relieved, he had been thinking about repaying them but had never found a good way,

After all, they don't lack anything either.

And other more precious ones can't be given now.

Fortunately, I finally gave them something back, of course, this is only a beginning and not the end, and this kindness is not cheap

It's worth a little bit.

Soon, the holiday was over, and Ios said goodbye to them and returned to Hogwarts.
