"There are also three identical gift boxes. Ginny one, Percy one, and one mom and dad. These were all sent by Professor Graves, one, two, three, four, five, six. Six Pandora consoles! Professor, he actually sent so much. If I had known that the professor had given me a game console, I shouldn't have given him a box of chocolates, I would have at least given ...... I can't think of anything I could give him. ”

Ron found four more gift boxes that were identical to his own from the family's gift pile, and looking at the packaging and the handwriting on the cards, he had already guessed that they were all gifts from Professor Graves.

And it's also the most precious Pandora console.

If you count the game crystals, each of them received a gift of more than 70 gold gallons.

Ron couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought that he had only given the professor a box of chocolates that he had treasured for a long time and were about to expire.

I secretly regretted it, why didn't I use my pocket money to buy a more expensive gift for the professor?

"Uh, Ron, you're so small that you actually gave the professor a box of chocolates. Any idea what we gave to the professor? George and I gave the professor a spell hat. Better than your chocolate. ”

Hearing that his brother actually gave the professor a box of chocolates, George and Fred looked at each other, covered their faces and said speechlessly.

They really didn't expect that Ron, who could buy a wand with the money he earned from his part-time job, would only give the professor a box of chocolates.

Ron was so distracted.

"Okay, okay, the chocolate is good, too. The professor doesn't have a bad impression of Ron because of a box of chocolates, the professor isn't that kind of person. Actually, I also gave him a box of chocolates. I'll tell you a secret, Professor Graves is one of the most fond eaters of chocolate, especially in the Muggle world. Ha ha! ”

Seeing George and Fred complaining about Ron, Harry hurriedly opened his mouth to clear the siege and told them that he had also given Professor Graves a box of chocolates.

"Uh... You're not going to give every professor chocolate, are you? Oh! Don't tell us, your gift to your friends is chocolate too!! ”

"Mm-hmm, it's all chocolate!"

Ron and Harry nodded in agreement.

Looking at Harry and Ron, George and Fred didn't know what to say. The two could only silently use telepathy to complain that their hearts were really big.

"Mom! What are you doing??? ”

Not wanting to talk to the two little kids who only gave chocolates for Christmas, George looked at the unopened gifts, but as he moved his vision, he noticed that their mother was rummaging through the cabinets, not knowing what to look for.

"Merlin's beard! Did you know? When I heard that you gave Professor Graves chocolates and useless hats, I was ashamed to want to go to the goblin cave. No way! In order not to make a bad impression of Professor Graves! I've got to find something I can get my hands on as a Christmas present for Professor Graves! ”

Mrs. Weasley crossed her hands on her hips, her face full of anger and shame. Faced with the many expensive gifts that Professor Graves had given them, she really didn't know what to use in return.

"Dear Molly, I remember you gave Professor Graves a pound of bacon yesterday. Didn't you send it? ”

As Mrs. Weasley looked at her three sons, Arthur Weasley pushed open the door and walked in. When he heard Molly's words outside the door, he thought she had forgotten to give Professor Graves a Christmas present yesterday.

"What? Mom! You still say us? You see, the pound of bacon you gave the professor is not as valuable as Ron's chocolate. And you can't say that the spell hats we make are useless hats! When we were making the spell cap, we talked to Professor Graves, and he was very appreciative of us when he heard about our concept for the spell cap. He also told us that when we made it, we must give it to him first. The professor is very optimistic about us! He is our patron! ”

I heard that my mother's Christmas gift to Professor Graves was a pound of bacon, the kind of bacon they both found very unpalatable. George and Fred couldn't help but find a goblin cave to turn into.

"You two shut up! His father, the bacon was delivered yesterday. But today we received a gift from Professor Graves. Do you know what it is? Six Pandora consoles. It's the Pandora console in the very luxurious new store that recently opened in Diagon Alley. Do you know how much a Pandora console is worth? 69 gold galleons! Professor Graves gave our family a one-time gift of over 400 gold Galleons! Do you think we're going to give him another Christmas present! ”

Mrs. Weasley didn't want to argue with her two sons about the curse hat, and she looked at her husband with a solemn face, seeking his idea.

"Well, indeed. The Christmas present that Professor Graves gave us was so precious. But don't be so nervous, kid. Professor Graves won't be mad at you for giving him a pound of bacon.

I work in the Ministry of Magic and hear a lot about Professor Graves from my colleagues. Although not very specific, one thing is that Professor Graves is very wealthy in the United States and often helps homeless orphans.

A person like this who is rich and good-hearted, he will not care if the gift given to you is expensive or not. In his eyes, a Pandora game console he gave you may be like you giving him a pound of bacon. So don't feel guilty about the other person's gift being too expensive and the gift you gave is not worth it. As long as the mind is sufficient. ”

As a civil servant on duty at the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley knew more about Rick Graves' past than his family. He judged from what Rick had done in the United States that this kind of person was not that kind of snob, and would not alienate him because his friend was poor.

"Yes, Mrs. Weasley. Professor Graves doesn't care if the gift you give him is worth anything, as long as the heart comes to mind. He'll love it. I remember the last time you gave the professor a sweater, and the professor liked it very much. Just as we were taking the train home from school, I saw the sweater under his coat, the one you made for him. If you don't believe me, you ask Ron. He saw it too! ”

Harry saw that Mrs. Weasley was still a little hesitant, and did not discourage the idea of continuing to give Professor Graves expensive gifts, so he followed Arthur Weasley's words and told her that Graves liked her sweater very much, and told her that Professor He was not the kind of person who valued material values, but was more concerned about friendship.

To make his words more convincing, Harry also poked Ron beside him with his arm.
