Chapter 41: Christmas Gifts
Ron was very unwilling, and played a few more games with Al, but each time he was not Al's opponent, and lost several times in a row. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the end, Ron angrily pushed the piece forward, refusing to play with Al again, and had never lost so badly since he had been introduced to wizard chess.
"I'm really convinced, how can you be so powerful. Ron asked, looking at Al in surprise.
Al shook his head modestly, and said, "It's nothing, I'm too young for my father." ā
After eating and drinking, Harry and Ron went back to their bedrooms to rest, and Al looked at the time, and then walked out of the Gryffindor common room alone and into the outside of the castle.
Because of the heavy snow before, the outside of the castle was full of white patches, and the feet squeaked on it.
In the corner of the deserted courtyard, a short figure was probing his brain to find out something.
Al smiled and walked over to the figure.
"Little host. ā
After seeing Al, the house-elf Ah Fu poked his head out from behind the pillar and bowed deeply to Al.
Al came to Ah Fu and looked it up and down, although it hadn't changed for a few months, it hadn't changed at all, it was still the same.
"How did you get here? No one saw you, did they?"
Christmas is a traditional British holiday, and in addition to eating a hearty meal, they also give each other Christmas gifts to pass on their blessings to family and friends.
In addition to learning knowledge, Al's biggest gain is that he has made a lot of new friends at Hogwarts, such as Hermione, Harry, Ron, Neville, Hagrid, and some people who are not familiar but also know each other, so there are still a lot of gifts to give.
A few days ago, Al sent his owl Sharp back to Aaron's manor and brought a letter to Afu to bring some gifts for his friends today.
At this time, it was the time they had agreed upon.
Ah Fu handed a large package to Al in his hand, and whispered, "If you go back to the little master, I came here with a phantom shapeshift, and until now, no one has seen me. ā
Al nodded, although the Hogwarts school rules do not clearly stipulate that outsiders are not allowed to come in, but it is better to avoid it, if it happens to be seen by Snape, I am afraid it will be another trouble.
"Okay, then you can go back first, you are the only one at home during this time, you must take good care of yourself. ā
"Thank you little host for your concern, please rest assured. ā
Ah Fu bowed deeply again, then used the illusion to transform and vanished.
On Christmas Eve, Al was busy delivering gifts to his friends. He first sent his owl and gave Hermione a very interesting book, as well as a bottle of ink that automatically changed color when she wrote. He then went to Hagrid's cabin and quietly placed a gift at the door of his cabin, so that Hagrid would be able to see it as soon as he opened the door.
Immediately afterward, Al returned to the Gryffindor common room to give Harry, Ron, and Neville ...... , even Lavender and Parvati, who had only spoken a few words, gave gifts.
Al stayed busy until late at night, when he woke up the next morning, only to find that it was already dark.
It was the first time he had been at Hogwarts in such a long time that he had risen so late.
Rubbing his eyes, looking at Harry, who had just woken up from sleep in the other bed, and was still sleepy-eyed, Al said, "Merry Christmas, Harry. ā
"You are also Merry Christmas, Al. ā
Al stretched, dressed, and went downstairs with Harry to the Gryffindor common room. Ron was already there, sitting in a chair by the fireplace, unpacking the gift he had received.
"Hi, Merry Christmas to you guys. Ron waved at Al and shouted, "Here's your Christmas present." ā
Al looked in the direction Ron was pointing, and under a Christmas tree by the fireplace, there were two small piles of presents, all sent to them by friends.
Looking at this pile of gifts, Al couldn't control the joy in his heart, feeling that his whole body was surrounded by happiness, since his parents died, how many years had he not received Christmas gifts.
Although it was expected, this Elke was really happy.
Ron opened a package and cried out in ecstasy to see that it contained a brand new set of wizard chess.
"Great, thank you so much, Al. ā
Al smiled and nodded, since the wizarding chess used by Ron was very worn, Al simply gave him a new one.
Harry also opened a gift box at this time, which contained a book called "The Broomstick Handbook", which was also given by Al, which recorded how to care for and maintain the broomstick.
"Thank you, Al. Harry looked at Al and stumbled.
"It's okay, I hope you'll use it. ā
Al then picked up the top gift box of the gifts he had received, which was covered with thick brown paper, on which was written: Hagrid to Al.
Inside was a necklace made of animal teeth, apparently Hagrid's own. These teeth are sharp and sharp, and polished smooth and shiny, and the shape should be wolf's teeth, which has the rough taste of Hagrid.
Al played with it for a while, then put the necklace around his neck, it was a little cold to the touch, but he liked it.
Then came a couple of small packages from Ron, Harry, Neville, and the others, filled with all sorts of candy.
Finally, Al opened a large box at the bottom, which Hermione had given her.
There was a hand-woven red scarf inside, and although it wasn't beautifully woven, it was clear that Hermione had put a lot of thought into it.
The corners of Al's mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a smile.
In addition to the scarf, Hermione also gave a large box of horseshoe-shaped chocolates, and Al took a piece of it out and put it in his mouth, huh...... The taste is very good.
"Oh my God! my mom gave you a Weasley sweater!"
Al overheard the conversation between Ron and Harry and turned his head to see that Harry had received a thick, bright green hand-knitted sweater.
Ron's face was slightly red, and he pointed to the sweater and said, "I told her, you thought you wouldn't receive a gift yourself, so she gave you a sweater." ā
"She knits us a sweater every year. Ron said, opening his own paper bag and pulling out a Weasley sweater, "Mine is always dark fuchsia, and although I've said many times I don't like it, she just won't listen." ā
Harry smiled and said to Ron, "Your mother is so nice. ā
