As Christmas approached, Hogwarts was dressed in silver.

This made Link, who had lived in the south all his life in his previous life and had never seen much snow, very happy.

From the first day of snow, he threw himself into the snow and had a snowball fight with the equally excited Weasley brothers.

Not only them, but every student at Hogwarts is happy, because the Christmas holidays are coming, and every young wizard who can go home can go home to reunite with his family.

Of course, the Weasleys had a slightly different reason for being happy than the others, as they had chosen to stay on this occasion.

Link thinks they're so happy because they don't have to go back to their parents.

(They attacked Snape with the Urgency Charm, and Mrs. Weasley is said to have threatened to teach them a good lesson when they returned.) ）

As for the matter of Christmas gifts, Link has finally made a decision.

Cedric's gift, needless to say, was, of course, a light wheel 2000.

When Link wrote to tell Mrs. Foley what had happened, the other party not only refused, but also happily praised Link for finally learning to think about his classmates.

This embarrassed Link a little.

For the praise of Link in Mrs. Foley's letters was a little too childish, as if she were encouraging a kindergartner.

And then there's Snape's gift.

After thinking about it, Link finally decided to send a elixir.

Its effect is to increase the amount of medication within 12 hours of taking it, which is lucky.

According to the user's description, the effect is even so powerful that the user has the illusion that he or she will succeed in whatever he does.

There is no doubt that this is an ultra-high-grade consumable potion.

While it was a bit inappropriate as a gift for a Potions Master, Mrs. Foley thought it was the best gift.

Because it was expensive, Snape could sell it for money even if he didn't use it himself.

Link agreed, and secretly stuffed a small bottle of Rosilie's conditioner into the box he was going to give to Snape.

Link sincerely wished Snape would try the product, and he felt like he was fed up with Snape's greasy hair.

There's also Hermione, and Link gives her a bottle of Rosely hair lotion and a brand new copy of The Magic of Language.

As for the other people's gifts, Mrs. Foley has drawn up the gifts, and every Christmas is a big event for the Foley family, who need to distribute gifts to everyone they know according to their value and relationship, from a greeting card to a bottle of elixir.

So it's reassuring to put this on to Mrs. Foley Link, who is already a veteran of the arts.

In addition to the above, Link also has a friend who needs to give a gift, and that is the basilisk Arkham.

The basilisk is a snake, but it doesn't seem to have the habit of hibernating, or rather, it can control whether it hibernates, and has been urging Link to go out on the track lately.

As of now, Link owes it a full five laps.

Link felt that this account needed to be cleared, or the basilisk might do something extreme.

Of course, running a lap is a running lap, and the necessary safety measures still have to be done.

For this reason, Link also specially prepared a chewing riding gear modified from the fire dragon riding equipment.

With it, Link can basically drive the basilisk in a relatively safe environment.

Then, on the night of the ride's arrival, Link ran out of the Hufflepuff Lounge.

At this time, the interior of Hogwarts had been renovated, with an oversized Christmas tree in the Great Hall, countless lights hanging on the walls of the corridors, and even the empty armor and monster statues that had been lifeless were buttoned up by mischievous students in a Christmas red hat.

Filch hated these things, because the professors and students were all creatures, and he had to clean them up in the end.

Corresponding to these warm decorations, the temperature in Hogwarts has also plummeted.

Link shuddered as soon as he stepped out of the warm lounge.

This made Link flinch a little.

You know, he's wearing a thick winter coat now, so he can still feel the cold, and he won't have to freeze to death when he rides Arkham, a monster whose speed is not weaker than a Yamaha track motorcycle, to go out for a while?

However, thinking back to the pair of big expectant (vicious) eyes of the basilisk, Link finally sighed and slowly took out his wand from his bosom and pointed it at himself.

"Keep warm and moisture-proof!"

An orange-red glow flashed on Link's body, which made Link finally feel a lot better.

Rubbing his hands together, Link continued to walk into the darkness.

Coming to the girls' bathroom on the second floor, Link finished a set of procedures, and Arkham immediately appeared in front of Link.

I saw it quickly jump out of the pipe at a speed that Link was barely visible to the naked eye, and then it formed a snake cake with Link as the center.

"Link, you're finally here, did you bring me a snack?"

Arkham couldn't wait to speak, and as he spoke, he rubbed his body against Link affectionately.

But maybe it was too exciting, and Arkham's snake cake plate was a little tight this time, which made Link a little uncomfortable.

"Bring it, let go of me! I'm running out of breath!"

Link's somewhat flustered words suddenly rang out, and Arkham finally relaxed a little, but his eyes were still searching back and forth on Link.

Link rubbed his chest, which was still aching, before he took out a basket of cold sausages and a raw pumpkin from his pocket and threw them into the basilisk's mouth.

Looking at Arkham's head up and eating violently, Link also felt a little funny.

During this time, Link would feed Arkham some food almost every day to allow him to spend time on laps.

Although Arkham was a little dissatisfied with this, it was fortunate that it had not eaten anything good, and it was good to have a small dessert to improve the food.

This time it was the same, after destroying the food that Link had brought, Arkham squeezed his head into Link's arms again, rubbing it and saying:

"Well, for the sake of this little dessert, I'll give you another week. But remember, counting this time, you already owe me six laps. ”

"I don't think I owe you any more. ”

Link said as he touched the basilisk's skull, but the basilisk was reluctant to hear it.

I saw it tighten its body with a swish, and at the same time raised its head, looking at Link in disbelief and said:

"You want to play tricks!?"

"No, I mean we can go lap tonight. ”

Link said with a smile, and the set of riding equipment had already appeared in his hand at this time.
