Helis's gift is wrapped in sky-blue colored paper and is the size of a palm, making it look pocket-sized and cute.

Joel unwrapped the gift paper intact and placed it in a drawer under his desk, revealing a small square black box in front of him, which he opened to find a three-inch mirror, with a manual, and a card, on which Haylis wrote the blessing in neat handwriting.

Dear Joel, when you see this card, I am sending you my best Christmas wishes at Selwyn Manor, 293 kilometres away.

This year's Christmas present is a pair of two-way mirrors, one in my hand and the other for you, if you want to see me, read my name to the lens.

PS: I will always carry the two-way mirror with me.

A two-way mirror, which Joel knew in the original book Sirius had given Harry a piece, and which later helped him find Aberforth and escape Malfoy Manor.

Joel opened the manual, followed the instructions above and proposed to inject a trace of his magic into the lens, and the light blue magic engraved Joel Taylor's flower name on the reverse side of the mirror, and the double-sided mirror was officially activated.

"Haylis?" Joel said into the two-way mirror, feeling a little silly talking into the blank mirror.

The mirror heated up slightly, then trembled slightly, and it no longer reflected Joel's handsome face, but instead revealed a slender white neck.

"Good morning Joel," the picture in the mirror turned, and Haylis's face appeared in front of Joel, "Do you like this gift?" ”

"It's great," Joel complimented from the bottom of his heart, the two-way mirror gave him the feeling of a later Muggle video call, the effect was outstanding, and even the sound was not distorted, "This two-way mirror is not cheap, is it?" ”

"It's a little expensive......," Helis yawned as she covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling.

The price of a pair of double-sided mirrors is 250 Galleons, which is close to half a year's salary of an ordinary Ministry of Magic employee, which is quite expensive, and Helis used the pocket money she had saved since the beginning of the school year to buy the mirrors.

"But I think it's worth the money, so I can see you on vacation." Helis didn't wear a ponytail at home, her long black hair was scattered over her shoulders, and the black robe and pajamas she wore on her body made her even thinner.

"Have you seen the Christmas present I gave you?"

Haylis slipped her fingers into her black hair and smoothed it, "No, I just woke up, and I haven't opened the gift." ”

She shifted the mirror to the present under the bed.

There was a mountain of gifts, yes, a hill, and Joel roughly estimated that there were about sixty or seventy gifts, and the colorful boxes stacked on top of each other were particularly eye-catching.

Is Haylis's popularity so good? Joel was in his heart.

Haylis saw through the mirror that Joel's face was not quite right, and quickly explained: "These are all gifts from various pure-blood families, and my brother also has one, every year. ”

She got up and got out of bed, pulled her slippers and went to the desk drawer to take out the scissors and open the gift.

As Haylis said, most of the gifts were cookie-cutter desserts and accessories, and even the Malfoys gave them a chocolate candy made in Italy.

"What are you sending here?" Haylis unwraps the gift package her boyfriend has given her, revealing a thick notebook inside.

"Occlumency notes, I have a little bit of my own experience in them," Joel squinted his eyes and smiled, "I see you've always wanted to learn, so ......"

"Thank you Joel!" Helis's face flushed with excitement.

The two chatted for half an hour before Haylis, at the urging of the house-elf, turned off the two-way mirror and went downstairs for breakfast.

The Christmas holidays have flashed by, and Joel has been pondering the World Tree in his head lately, for which he has purchased a large collection of Norse mythological tales, the black dragon Nidhogg is still tirelessly gnawing at the roots of the tree, which are visibly destroyed, and the golden-crowned chicken at the top of the tree is already looking left and right, as if sensing some kind of anomaly.

Two days after returning to school, it was Helis's birthday, and Joel specially prepared a birthday present and cake for her, and on the afternoon of January 9th, Helis took Helis to the hillside outside Hogwarts Castle, with a smile on her lips, waiting for Joel to prepare a surprise for her.

......Sitting on the lawn, Joel pulled out a strawberry cream cake from his new Traceless Stretching Charm item, a blue satin cloth bag, uncovered the box and inserted the candle, then tapped his wand and sparked the candle with a flick.

Haylis looked at the cake carefully, and there was a Q version of the big black-haired girl dancing on the top layer of cream, and it was very clever to dodge the candle inserted in the cream layer, and drew a beautiful arc on the cream, and saw that Helis was staring at it, and returned a bright smile.

The cream cake was made by Joel from a pastry shop in London, and the Q version of Haylis was made from black and white chocolate.

"Is this a miniature version of me?" Haylis laughed, "How?" ”

Joel replied, "A Transfiguration is good, it's not too difficult for me......"

That being said, it was based on Joel's brilliant magical talent and Transfiguration, and he dared to pat his chest to pack a ticket that there were no more than five students at Hogwarts.

"Bring this birthday hat," Joel pushed the cake in front of Helis, "and close your eyes and make a wish." ”

Helis obediently put on her hat, folded her hands and made a wish, pursed her mouth and blew out the candle.

"Well, this is my birthday present to you," Joel pulled out a small gray bag from his cloth bag, "open it and take a look." ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"This is a matryoshka doll?" Haylis couldn't help but spit out.

Spit and complain, Helis didn't stop, and opened the gray bag, which contained a greeting card.

"I wish you health and happiness, all your wishes come true, you will work hard all your life to be loved, you will have what you want, and you will be relieved of what you can't get, may you always have a childlike heart, I am immersed in finding thousands of stars in your eyes......"

"Hiss......" Helis glanced at the greeting card again, and quickly detained it to death.

"How does it feel?" Joel was a little apprehensive.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Joel nodded.

"Seriously...... Haylis hesitated, "I'm sickened." ”

Joel breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I thought you'd love this kind of embarrassing stuff." ”

These words came from Joel's previous life on the Internet, and he translated these languages into English and transcribed them on greeting cards, when Joel was embarrassed and almost cancerous when he transcribed them.

"Look at the gifts, you'll like it."

Haylis plunged her hand into the brown bag again and pulled some seeds out of it.

"Aren't you in control of the plants, these are some of the exotic plant seeds I bought," Joel explained to Haylis, "they are all adapted to the British climate, and you can grow them with confidence, maybe it will help you a lot." ”

“…… There are also a few poison tentacle seeds in there, so you'd better be careful. Joel reminded.

"That's great," Haylis said, "It's to my liking, maybe I'll be able to summon a poisonous tentacle to fight for me?" ”

Joel thought about it, a girl waving her tentacles and playing with bondage pree...... I couldn't bear to look at it.

After accepting the gift, Joel and Haylis disagree over what to do with the cake.

Haylis thinks that this miniature Q version is very cute, and she is reluctant to cut the cake with a knife, and after some coquettish arguments, she can finally dispose of the cake at will.

"When dinner is over, this villain will melt." Before the two leave the lawn, Joel gives kind advice, he knows that Helis likes this little object, and once he returns to the dormitory to find that Joel's magic attached to it is gone, and the Q version of the little girl will also turn into a puddle of chocolate water, she will probably be sad for a while.

"I know," Helis said, staring at the little girl laughing on the cake, "don't worry, I have my own ideas." ”

Joel didn't know what Helis was doing with the birthday cake, but the next few days saw her smiling face and knew that she was in a good mood, so he also discouraged the desire to come forward to comfort her.

Since returning to school at Christmas, the students have let their guard down again, and there has been no attack time for a long time, Hogwarts Castle is happy and peaceful, Hogsmeade Village is reopened, and Mr. Filch is extremely strict with the inspection of people who go out on tours, and he slaps the students with a black magic object detector in his hand.

February 14th, Valentine's Day, is also Joel's birthday.

Early in the morning, Professor Lockhart began to behave as a demon.

He used Transfiguration to cover the walls around the auditorium with pink flowers, and heart-shaped confetti flew in the air, and the students had to brush off the confetti covering the food in order to eat.

The professors in the faculty were unhappy, and the normally optimistic Professor Flitwick couldn't laugh at this time, because the bacon-smoked meat sandwich was covered in confetti.

"Happy Valentine's Day, colleagues and my dear students!" Lockhart exclaimed, "Ninety-nine people have presented me with greeting cards so far, and I want to thank them!" But I'm not satisfied, I want to see who is the hundredth student to give me a Valentine's Day card, and I will reward her as appropriate! ”

"Yes, that's right," Lockhart said at the Gryffindor table's surprised expressions on Harry and Ron's faces, "The Great Hall in front of you is the result of a night of careful decoration by me, and this little surprise has been arranged for you - and that's not all!"

He clapped his hands, and strode through the doors leading to the foyer twelve grim-faced dwarves, and unlike the average dwarf, Loha held them all with golden wings and harps on their backs, like low-level facial paralyzed versions of Cupid's angels.

Joel felt that Lockhart was inexplicably behaving again, and sure enough, he happily said to the people in the hall: "Let me introduce you, this is my friendly little Eros, and they are going to wander around the school today and hand you Valentine's Day cards!" ”

"You can send an anonymous letter and ask these twelve dear little Eros, if you like anyone, take advantage of today's great time to confess! Maybe it can lead to a new marriage! ”

Lockhart bared his white and shiny teeth, "If any of you succeed in your confession, please remember to record the whole process and send it to me, and you will get a copy of my new book, "Teaching at Hogwarts"!" ”

The students in the audience were quite satisfied with this event, they were in adolescence and they were full of hormones and had nowhere to vent, who didn't have a few crushes in their hearts?

The professors' expressions were as uncomfortable as eating, Professor McGonagall bit his cheeks tightly, the cheeks protruded like Hollywood star Brad Pitt, Snape's lips pursed into a straight line, Joel felt that he had been suppressing his anger, but he didn't seem to have any other way, after all, Snape lost to Professor Lockhart in the dueling club, and he could be said to be a complete defeat in terms of personal image.

Dumbledore was not at school, he went to the East Japan to attend an alchemy seminar, and the little Eros were like fish in the sea, calmly scurrying around the Hogwarts classrooms, passing confession cards, and annoying the professors who had to take the class seriously.

Joel's outstanding appearance finally caused him problems, the morning Potions class, the little Eros in and out of the classroom, the Valentine's Day cards on Joel's desk stacked as high as the crucible, Snape's gloomy face with a death glare, Joel had no doubt that if he continued to let these little Eros move, he would not survive this noon - Snape must not mind poisoning his lunch.

After class, Joel escaped from the classroom under Snape's low pressure, and there were two little Eros standing outside the door, and they all rushed towards him the moment they saw Joel.

Joel saw Helis's expression on the side, and he finally couldn't help it, and pulled out his wand and used the spell.

"Armor protection!"

The two little goddesses of love were bounced out and hit the wall of the corridor, falling into pieces.

"Ravenclaw is a ten," Snape's mournful voice came from behind him, "no spells in the hallways, Mr. Taylor." ”

"Don't you think these dwarfs are too annoying?" Joel replied, "I'll help you with two troubles." ”

Snape didn't say anything more, the implication was very obvious, the score was deducted.

Solving the two dwarfs didn't solve the problem, and during the lunch meal in the auditorium, two more little Eros sent four greeting cards, and Haylis's face darkened.

She and Joel have been in love for half a year, and they didn't shy away from it when they were at school, and it stands to reason that most girls know that this excellent Ravenclaw boy is already famous, but now what does it mean for these girls to take the opportunity of anonymous confession to send Valentine's Day cards?

Haylis was so upset that she prepared a lot of surprises for Joel's birthday, but was completely disrupted by the twelve little goddesses of love arranged by Lockhart.

She came with a hateful Lockhart.
