Snowflakes are flying outside the window and falling on the frozen glass, Christmas is just around the corner, and the busy Anderson family is preparing for Christmas Eve.

The living room is playing the classic Christmas song "White Christmas", Nia tries to hang the biggest star on the top of the Christmas tree with the help of Grandpa Luke, Shanna and Daisy are busy in the kitchen with today's meal and dessert, and Albert and Herb are serving plates of delicious food to the table.

The dinner party was spent with laughter and songs, Christmas Eve was shown on the TV show, and there was still a lot left over from the dinner table, especially the famous roast turkey for Christmas.

This kind of food is not very popular, no way, turkey meat is actually not very tasty.

However, this dish is served in the Christmas dinner every year, and everyone eats some of it, and it is not determined by whether it tastes good or not, it is a tradition to eat roast turkey at Christmas, and yes, they eat traditionally.

In contrast, Christmas pudding and Christmas cake after dinner are more popular with everyone.

Albert was enjoying a steaming glass of red wine, which was indeed average on the first sip, but the more you drank it, the better it felt, and the more you drank it, the warmer it became, making it perfect for snowy weather.

As a member of the family, Tom the Fat Cat also has his own dinner party, a large piece of special salmon, and the grilled fish is obviously more appealing to Tom's appetite than the canned cat. By the way, this guy is still showing signs of gaining weight lately.

Now, a well-fed Tom is lying on the couch for Albert to brush him.

"Are there really vampires in this world?" asked Albert curiously, as Nia listened to Luke read the story of "Traveling on a Boat with a Vampire".

"There should be. I haven't seen them, though, and if I do, it's best to stay away from them, regardless of whether the vampires have good intentions or not. Albert retrieved Tom, who was about to slip away, and gently fiddled with the cat's ears with his fingers.

"Lockhart is so brave. "Nia kind of admires the protagonist of the book.

"Lockhart is really brave in China, but you need to be clear from reality. After all, this kind of thing, 99% is fiction. Albert winked at Nia and reminded, "It's like a lie in a fairy tale!"

"Nasty, don't spoil the atmosphere. Nia couldn't help but protest, "Is Hogwarts fun? Our school is boring, the students there feel a little silly, and the boys like to be handsome, and they are all stupid. ”

"You can't say that about someone else. "If you feel that way, it must be because you are smarter than them." He curled the corners of his mouth happily, very satisfied with his children, yes, very satisfied.

"They're really stupid. Nia flattened her mouth and complained, "They always like to talk nonsense, and they're a bunch of stupid people who don't understand anything." ”

"Don't make yourself look like a maverick, you should learn to protect yourself. Albert kindly reminded.

"I can go to karate or taekwondo. Nia waved her fist and said, "If anyone dares to bully me, knock them down like Albert did." ”

"Girls don't be so violent. Daisy looked at her son with a little dissatisfaction, blaming him for setting a bad example for Nia.

"Ahem, I think it's good to learn some self-defense techniques, at least you can protect yourself from being bullied. Albert coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I made you a talisman, which is your Christmas present." ”

"You should have given it to me again at Christmas. Nia looked at the small ornament and asked curiously, "Is this the legendary unicorn?" ”

"Because it's a pendant, a talisman. Albert explained.

"Does it work?" Herb was more curious about the effect of the amulet, knowing that Albert would cast magic on small things.

"You should think of it as an ornament like a cross, and don't you think it's exquisite?" Albert reminded, "and it takes a lot of time to carve it." ”

"Anyway, when did you learn wood carving, we don't know. ”

"I learned it in school. ”

"Hogwarts still teaches this?" Herb was surprised.

"Didn't teach. However, it is possible to study on your own. Albert explained helplessly.

"Give your favorite girl a wood carving, and you might get an unexpected surprise!" said Herb, as if remembering something, "I remember that you have always been very popular." ”

"Is there one?" Albert's face twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.

"It would be nice to get an invitation to Hogwarts next year. Nia muttered, "That way, I'll be able to go to Hogwarts." ”

"Even if you can't go, when I graduate, I can take you to see the world of magic. Albert comforted softly: "However, if you are not a wizard, it is better not to miss the wizarding world too much, that is not a good idea, ordinary people have the happiness of ordinary people." ”

"Remember the computer?"

"Know some. Nia nodded.

"In the next few years, electronic products will become more and more developed, mobile phones and computers will become more and more developed, and the next will be the era of electronics. Albert explained softly: "The wizarding world is much worse in this regard, magic seems to interfere with electrical appliances, so the technology of the wizarding world is actually quite backward, and the only thing I know about is the magic radio." ”

"The wizarding world still uses old-fashioned records, and when I graduate, I'll get my own house here. ”

"I thought you'd live in a wizarding world!" Daisy looked happy, she didn't want her son to live in the wizarding world, and she would definitely not be able to stand it if she suddenly disappeared for a decade or two without contact.

"Are you going to work here?" asked Herb suddenly.

"No, it's actually very easy to make money with magic, such as buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot. Albert winked at Herb and said with a smile, "There is a profession among wizards called soothsayers, and a powerful soothsayer can foresee part of the future, and naturally the winning numbers of the lottery. ”

At this moment, the Anderson family all looked at each other, never thinking that Albert would say such a thing.

Making a fortune by winning the lottery?

"Son, I thought you would continue to think about finance. Herb's expression was even more eccentric, he didn't want his son to use magic to do something illegal, even though he didn't know if winning the lottery was illegal.

Herb never doubted Albert's ability, and maybe one day his son suddenly won the jackpot.

"Well, I'm just kidding, lottery wins are the quickest, but prophecy usually requires a talent for it, and being a good soothsayer isn't just something you can do with hard work. Albert explained jokingly, "I only use runite for divination now. ”

"Accurate?" said Nia, who seemed interested in divination.

"I don't know. Albert said uncertainly, "I'm new to the game, so I shouldn't be too accurate." ”

"Try divination for me first. ”
