Xiwen slept until the sun was high before he woke up.

When he woke up, a pang of hunger came from his empty stomach, so Xiwen silently went to the restaurant to find something to eat.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Sivan noticed that Sandrine had already gotten up before him, and arranged for the house-elf to make a hearty lunch.

"Let's have a meal first, and remember to show me your Animagus transformation after eating." Sandrine said happily. "Speaking of thirteen-year-old Animagus, has he broken the record of the youngest Animagus transformation in the wizarding world?"

"Like...... It really is. Shivin suddenly realized that he had just celebrated his thirteenth birthday last month, and that Animagus was a bit shocking in the wizarding world at this age.

Of course, on his birthday last month, Sivin was so obsessed with practicing Animagus that he had completely forgotten about his birthday, and even Sandrine's birthday card was only discovered the next day......

Sivan glanced at Sandrine and saw that she didn't care that she had forgotten to reply to her birthday card, and began to enjoy this hearty lunch.

After eating, Sandrine eagerly dragged Shivin to the courtyard where the snow had been cleared, and asked him to show her the transformation of the Animagus.

Xiwen also happened to want to try his transformation again, and there was still something wrong with his transformation, so naturally it was necessary.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Xiwen began to follow the process and silently imagine his own shape. Immediately, his body changed dramatically, turning into a small blue-purple snake with wings and a beak.

Sandrine circled around the little snake, amazed.

"The scales of this snake are very beautiful, and they are worthy of my son's identity!" She nodded in satisfaction, then asked curiously. "So these wings of yours can be used to fly?"

Sivan heard Sandrine's question with the sight and sound of the birds, and couldn't help but sigh that the witch who came out of Slytherin really didn't feel as scared of snakes as everyone else.

In response to Sandrine's question, Shevin flapped his wings and at the same time activated the power of the Myledigus Blood Curse in his veins, and successfully flew off the ground and circled around her in the air, vividly demonstrating Sandrine's ability to fly.

Sandrine was so pleased with this that she gave him a large Christmas present after he turned back into human form.

"Merry Christmas, son!" She smiled happily.

Xiwen also smiled and opened the gift, and saw that it contained a whole new set of dresses!

……

After showing Sandrine the transformation of the Animagus, Sevin went to the Christmas tree outside his room to take a look at the gifts from his friends.

However, as soon as he came to the door, the corners of Xiwen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

It turned out that the gifts under the Christmas tree had been piled up into a small mountain, and Xiwen suspected that he might not be able to dismantle them until midnight......

As for the reason for the large number of gifts, it may be because Siwen is now a popular figure at Hogwarts. He was not only the first in the entire grade, but also a pure-blood of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clan, so even many students who were not very familiar with him would choose to give him some gift sets.

Xiwen couldn't say anything about this situation, so he could only give each of those people a pack of candy purchased in bulk as a gift in return.

Similar to last Christmas, the Christmas gifts given to him were as consistent as ever, with most of them being books of all kinds, as if they thought that Xiwen's only hobby was reading......

Xiwen looked at the large number of flat rectangular bags helplessly, and had to skip most of the flat rectangular packages that were not very interested, but just casually unpacked the flat rectangular packages of a few friends with whom he had a good relationship.

The Abraxas and Mobley packages are still the latest hardcover books on the market, and they are of little use, with the only advantage being that they are more expensive. And the books Gomez gave weren't as valuable as the two of them, but they were as useful as last year.

Miranda's gift was also a flat, rectangular package containing the next improved version of the Book of Spells, which immediately delighted Shevin's boring mood.

As for Elciona, who has taken a leave of absence from school and returned home for the blood curse relief treatment, her gift to Xiwen is a thick letter, in which she details the experience and feelings of the blood curse palliative treatment she has done at home.

From her letters, Shewin fully understands that the Blood Curse does not rely on simple treatment to alleviate symptoms.

The blood curse is a deep-rooted curse that remains in the bloodline of wizards, and the blood curse passed down by the Greengrass family is known as the "curse of death" because of its strong attachment and hereditary nature, and it has been eroding the magic in their bloodlines since childhood with the natural growth of wizards' magic.

In order to alleviate this bloodline-derived symptom, it is often necessary for wizards who have inherited the blood spell to learn a bloodline magic that enhances the magic in the bloodline to strengthen the ability to resist the erosion of the blood curse.

At the same time, the bearer of the Blood Spell will also be restricted from using all kinds of magic during the healing process.

Because blood curses are often resisted by the wizard's own magic in daily life. Therefore, if there is a phenomenon that may weaken the mana in the body, such as mana overdraft, it is likely that the mana will lose its ability to defend against the blood curse, which will lead to a large-scale invasion of the blood curse.

Sivan looked at Elciona's letter and frowned slowly, thinking of the Myledigus Blood Curse that he had successfully tamed.

Dumbledore had said before that the process of Sivan's taming of the Blood Curse of Meledith was not universal, after all, there were too many coincidences he encountered, and these conditions of extreme coincidences were indeed rare.

But he also said that this rare way of taming the blood curse can at least be used as a reference, and maybe one day he will be able to meet the possibility of promotion.

Xiwen felt the power of the blood curse hidden in his blood, and thought that it was not just a simple curse, but could be regarded as a unique magical power. After banishing the corrosive nature of the Blood Spell, the bearer can activate it at any time if they want to borrow its power.

What's more, Xiwen felt that this power had a faint feeling that it was more efficient than the use of magic power.

For example, the Animagus and Maledigus fusion of the human body that Xiwen has just performed has been transformed.

When he first transformed, he wanted to use magic alone to transform the human body, but when he used magic alone, he could only transform into an ordinary small animal, and this transformed animal had no magic in its body, and it was difficult to even flap its wings and fly.

And when Xiwen uses the power of the blood curse, he can perfectly control the changes around him.

This kind of manipulation is not only for the mastery of human transformation, but Xiwen has a strong feeling that if he can learn to better control the power of the blood curse, he can even do the manipulation of partial body transformation - that is, keep the human form of the subject unchanged, and only transform a part of the body into animal form.

This kind of local transformation can easily bring more maneuverability to Xiwen in life and in battle—for example, conjuring a pair of wings alone can fly at any time when he wants to, which is even more convenient than using a flying alchemy product; Or it is a layer of scales formed on the skin alone, which can block the attack of others in a critical moment; Or by conjuring the venom glands of the snake alone, you can silently shadow those enemies......

If the Merradigus Blood Curse can be tamed, can the Greengrass Blood Curse also be tamed and used? Will the powerful blood curse, known as the "curse of death", be even more powerful?

Xiwen thought about it for a while, but after all, he still didn't know much about Elciona's family, so he couldn't think of anything.

However, he still wrote a reply to Elshiona, selectively telling her some about taming the Blood Curse, and telling her to cooperate with the relieving treatment, and the Blood Curse must have a solution in the future.

After writing the letter, Xiwen called Jabi the owl again, who had worked hard all day.

Jabi pecked Xiwen angrily, as if to blame him for giving him too much work and having to be paid to work!

So Sivin had to feed him a few pieces of jerky as a bribe, so that he was satisfied to send the letter.

Then, Xiwen began to fight in his own pile of gifts, and quickly opened his own gifts.

Now that he is getting more and more popular, it is not a good thing......

Just as he was unpacking the gift, a small package caught Xiwen's attention.

The package was not so much the wrapping of Christmas gifts as a rag bag that I picked up from nowhere, so rudimentary that the sender's name was not even written, only two words and two separate letters written in black ink on the tattered bag - "Merry Christmas, S. S."

The handwriting of these two words was very sloppy, and it seemed a little familiar, but Xiwen couldn't remember whose font it was for a while.

So he didn't bother to think about it so much, and directly used a clever cutting spell to cut open the rag bag, intending to see what was inside and whether it could be worthy of this overly "chic" packaging.

Shivin reached out and pulled out an oval metal object engraved with runes from the package.

However, when he saw this object, Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink, and an extremely strong sense of horror suddenly surged into his heart!
