However, Hannah and Luna, who were sitting next to Hermione at this time, didn't seem to be in the mood to pay attention to Hermione's frustration.

This is not surprising, after all, each of them has their own troubles to face.

Take Hannah Abbott, for example, she still has a full 2,000 words of food after-dinner feelings to write today, which is not an easy number for an ordinary student to complete. But, on the other hand, she didn't want to try the peanut butter squid whiskers that Elena was talking about—especially the "special" version.

The only good news is that Luna, a senior consultant for Contrarian, has given her fantastic advice.

Sometimes, when I really can't write my feelings, I can directly ask the feelings and comments of other little wizards around me, and directly transfer the original text to my own manuscript, which can more or less make up some words.

However, there is only so much help Luna can give Hannah, because the little moon who has just joined Hogwarts has no easy job to do.

In addition to reviewing today's homework, Luna Lovegood also needs to organize all the photos taken today—including pictures of food, a corner of Hogwarts Castle, photos of the school's students and students...... and Elena secretly pulled some private photos of her and Hannah at noon.

You know, for this little girl walking around the school with a camera, it is difficult for most senior students to be indifferent to her, which certainly brings a lot of convenience to her shooting work, but at the same time, it also makes the number of photos taken by Luna today reach a relatively frightening value.

Luna's job is to sort out the photos and filter out which ones should be used for the pictures on "Singing Backtrack", which should be returned as gifts to the enthusiastic Hogwarts teachers and students, and the rest will be given to Elena for separate storage for later use.

Therefore, Hermione could only silently flip through the thick books related to the history of magic alone, compare them with the "Hogwarts calendar" they had summarized before, absentmindedly rearrange and rearrange the major events one by one, and even accidentally wrote the United Council of Wizards into an international conference of magic.

For the first time in her life, Hermione felt an atmosphere pervade her throughout the library.

In fact, it wasn't just Luna's good performance that really affected Hermione's mood.

What's more, today is September 19th, her first birthday in the wizarding world—after today, she will be twelve years old, and since her parents are ordinary people living in the non-magical world, Hermione Granger obviously has no way to receive the blessing from her family like the children of other wizarding families.

As for my friends, maybe there will be next year, right? But now that school has just over three weeks into school, it's a little too unrealistic to expect any birthday gifts and special wishes.

Not to mention, although Hermione has a lot of attention in her first year, there are not many people who can really be regarded as friends - Hannah, Elena, and at most half of Luna, who has just met for a short time......

That's why, when she saw the black walnut wand in Luna's hand today, she felt a little sour like a lemon, she also wanted a gift, she was just an ordinary little witch.

"Alas. I really envy Luna and Hannah, they ......."

Hermione sighed softly, looked at the parchment in front of her, and crossed out the mistakes.

Compared with the iron-clad Hannah and the fantasy-filled Luna, Hermione, the eldest of the four, is naturally much more mature.

Not lost for too long, Hermione put down the quill in her hand, moved her somewhat aching wrist slightly, quickly readjusted her mood, raised her head and looked left and right in confusion.

Speaking of which, Elena just left to look for a book, why hasn't she come back yet......

"Are you looking for me? Or are you expecting something?" Hermione?"

Just then, a cheerful voice appeared behind Hermione, and when she turned around, she saw Elena mysteriously walking back with a large box in her hand, and a house-elf beside her.

"You're ......" Hermione glanced at the ribbon tied to the box, her tone full of surprise.

As a child who also came from the non-magical world, she naturally knew what kind of contents were likely to be in the box.

"Happy birthday, Hermione. ”

"Happy birthday, Granger!"

"Happy birthday, Sister Hermione. ”

The same blessing didn't just come from Elena's mouth, and Hermione looked up in surprise.

At some point, Hannah and Luna had already stopped what they were doing, and each took out a beautifully packaged gift box from their clothes and sent it to her, while Elena also took out a small package from her pocket and put it in front of Hermione.

Obviously, this is a surprise link that the three of them have secretly discussed.

In fact, when they were in the Hufflepuff lounge last night, the three of them had already discussed that they would celebrate Hermione's birthday together today, but due to time constraints, Elena and the others did not have much time to buy gifts for Hermione.

So, they had to find a few small items from the small items they were carrying with them and give them to Hermione as gifts. As for the place to celebrate her birthday, it was chosen in Hermione's favorite library according to Elena's suggestion.

Hannah Abbott gave her a magic hourglass, a gift from her aunt to Hogwarts.

The hourglass was able to set a variety of different lengths of time exactly according to the user's needs - for Hermione, it was the perfect time planning device.

Luna, on the other hand, gave Hermione a necklace made of small carrots, which had been magically treated by Xenophilius and would not rot and change color as long as it was maintained regularly, and was said to be a talisman that brought good luck.

As for Elena's gift, it was even more simple, she took out a set of "Advanced Mathematics" and "Fundamentals of Applied Mathematics" directly from her suitcase and wrapped them as gifts and gave them to Hermione.

"Eh, you ......."

Hermione looked at the pile of gifts that suddenly appeared in front of her, a little bewildered.

According to her original thoughts, this birthday may have to be spent so silently, after all, her birthday is too close to the first day of school, and she really didn't expect that these friends who have just met will actually prepare gifts for her - as for the little complaints in her heart, they have long since dissipated.

"That's not all, don't forget, it's your birthday cake. ”

Elena blinked, pulled out her wand and tapped the cake box on the table.

The boxy carton slowly bloomed like a flower, eventually forming a delicate paper flower, and in the center of the flower, stood a vivid "Hogwarts Castle" cake.
