The Andersons' planned skiing for the Christmas break was cancelled, and Luke and Sansa would come over for Christmas, and no one in the family complained about it, and they weren't too enthusiastic about skiing itself.

On Christmas Eve, Albert sees Herb wandering outside Nia's door, seemingly considering whether to put a gift in front of her daughter's bedside table.

"Santa Claus is no longer in vogue. Albert motioned for Herb to put the Christmas presents downstairs next to the Christmas tree.

"I've told him about it a long time ago. Daisy, who was wearing pajamas, looked at the two people in the corridor helplessly, shook her head and reminded, "You should go back to bed quickly, don't stay up late, and get up in the morning to open Christmas gifts." ”

The next day, Albert was woken up early in the morning by Nia.

It couldn't be helped, Tom's cat face was coming to his face, and all of a sudden Albert was completely sleepy.

"I couldn't find your Christmas present. Nia reached out and asked for it.

"Here, I haven't had time to put it next to the Christmas tree. Albert reached out and pushed Tom's face away, and when he did, he took a delicately wrapped box from the drawer and handed it to Nia.

"What about mine?" he asked. The two siblings have been exchanging Christmas presents for a long time.

"Next to the Christmas tree downstairs. Nia opened the package, picked up the badge and asked, "It's beautiful, by the way, what kind of bird is this?"

"Phoenix, you can also call it a firebird or an immortal bird, and it is said that Headmaster Dumbledore has one. However, I didn't see the phoenix. Albert took a small piece of dried fish from a drawer, handed it to Tom, and said, "And your Christmas present." ”

As he spoke, he tore open the wrapper, pulled out a small dried fish, and shook it in front of Tom, attracting its attention with ease.

However, when Albert was about to put the dried fish in his mouth, Tom's face came over and he let out an anxious meow.

"This guy is so bad, Tom, we won't play with him anymore. Nia put the badge in her pocket, reached for the cat, and took the bag of dried fish downstairs, leaving Albert alone with a small dried fish.

"White Christmas!" Albert sighed as he got out of bed and went to the window, reached open the curtains, and looked at the falling snowflakes outside.

As he went downstairs, Albert couldn't help but look under the Christmas tree, where there was a pile of small packages. Nia was already sitting at the table unwrapping herself, so ...... The rest is all your own?

Albert walked under the Christmas tree and began to unpack:

A couple of books, a couple of greeting cards, and a Quidditch poster, well, from the Weasley brothers, Albert didn't know who the guys were in this poster, but he was already planning to take them back to school and put them in his dorm room, and the poster was supposed to be the team supported by the twin brothers. A small bag of candy, Albert looked at it, it was given by Shanna, thanking him for his help when school started. Lee Jordan gave him a box of Bibi Beans.

There was also a Transfiguration of the Day magazine, but it was from the past, and Albert looked at the sender, and it was actually Professor McGonagall who sent it.

Albert was curious that Professor McGonagall would also give herself a Christmas present?

And then a scarf?

"How?" asked Nia, nervously, "I picked this color." ”

"It's beautiful. Albert wrapped the scarf around his neck, it was quite warm, and the off-white children's style, well! he was only twelve years old, he was still a child, and there was nothing to complain about.

The rest was either candy or books, and Albert was not at all surprised to receive them, as it had always been.

The breakfast was unusually rich, but the Andersons did not eat it immediately, but waited until Luke and Sansa came over, and it was about half past ten that the family of six enjoyed breakfast in Christmas songs, and after they were full, they snuggled up on the couch while watching TV and chatting about some light topics.

Nia had hoped that Albert would be able to perform some magic, but Albert did not agree after thinking about it.

To be honest, he still didn't know what the Ministry of Magic's Trace was, and although he had asked others, they didn't quite know what the Trace worked on.

Normally, it should be before the summer break of the first year that you will receive a notice that magic is prohibited from outside the school.

However, Albert did not want to take the risk, and it was undoubtedly unwise to rush into legal loopholes without preparation.

You don't use magic, but you can do a lot of things, play wizard chess, or talk about interesting things.

However, in terms of wizarding chess, there is clearly no one who is Albert's opponent.

After Herb lost another game, he temporarily gave up playing wizard chess with his son.

Luckily, Daisy brought out a large bowl of freshly fried fries from the kitchen and gave him a good excuse to end the game.

"Tom, don't tease Sheila, be careful of getting pecked. When Albert went to wash his hands, he took the shorthair cat away from the owl and muttered, "Did I take the wrong name, it should be called Jerry's, Tom and Jerry, what a great combination." ”

"Sheila is better. Nia couldn't help but remind.

When Albert came back from washing his hands, he heard a scream, and Tom, who had cheap claws, was finally pecked hard by the owl.

Sheila obviously didn't intend to let Tom go, and chased after him for a fierce peck, full of combat, and Tom finally had to hide under the sofa in embarrassment.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Sansa fetched some owl food for Snow before she bent down and picked up Tom from under the couch and soothed his wounded heart with dried fish.

"Tom is getting fatter. Nia took out Albert's birthday present to herself and showed it to the others.

"It's good for the cat to be fatter. Sansa smiled and scratched Tom's chin, "You said it wasn't Tom." ”

"When will it be able to fly. Nia raised her hand and poked the Hippogriff, "And, is there really such a creature in our world?"

"Yes. However, it is said that they are all in unknown places. Albert is putting fries with ketchup in his mouth.

"The people of the wizarding world are like that, why are they hiding like mice?" Daisy sat next to Herb, and the two sat next to each other.

"After all, the number of wizards is small, and most ordinary people are afraid of more power than they know. But it was Luke who answered.

In fact, many people will be afraid of magic, and at the same time envy others for having magic, and then, for various reasons, they will regard people who have magic as monsters and find reasons to persecute them, and humans are such creatures.

Tom was lying on the table, staring at the toy with its wings outstretched, fiddling with it with his gripper.

"Albert, have you read the book I picked for you?" asked Daisy suddenly.

"I've finished reading it, it's a very good book. Albert nodded, "It's a pity that the book is only the book after all." ”
