Chapter 37: Merry Christmas
"There's a letter in the package," Ron pulled out an envelope from the package and handed it to him
Harry took off his invisibility cloak and took the envelope and opened it, which read: "Your father left this thing for me before he died, and it should be returned to you now." Use it well and sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas.
"What's wrong with you?" Looking at him in a daze, Ron pushed.
"Nothing," Harry thought was very strange. Who gave the Cloak of Invisibility? If it really belonged to the father, why didn't the father use it to escape Voldemort?
Before he could think about it, the door to the dormitory was slammed open, and Fred and George Weasley rushed in. Harry hurriedly hid his cloak of invisibility, he didn't want anyone else to know.
"Merry Christmas!"
"Did you receive any gifts?"
"Look! Harry also got a Weasley sweater."
"There's still a big gift box that hasn't been opened."
As soon as the two of them entered, they were rambling about it, and they were both wearing the "specialties" of the Weasley family.
George glanced at the signature of the box
"Harry, it's Ivey's Christmas present, open it and take a look"
Harry opened the box, and more than twenty beautifully packaged cakes were neatly stacked together, with a message on top. Unwrapping the letter, the letter flew into the air on its own, and Ive's voice was heard
"Hi Harry, Merry Christmas! It's a Christmas present. You're not alone—Ron, Fred, George, Percy, they're all there. Try it, mousse cake I made up, and have a great holiday. The tone of the voice was the same as Ivey's
"Wow! Is it a cake, I'll try it" Ron knew that Ivey was eating good things. He opened a box, and inside was a piece of cuboid cake.
"It's beautiful."
It's a chocolate cake with layered dark and white chocolates alternating together. The surface is a cured white chocolate crispy crust topped with some melon seeds. Ron grabbed it and stuffed it straight into his mouth.
"Uh-huh-well-good-good-good-this" slurred
The others also started to move, and the voices of admiration came and went.
"What are you yelling about?"
Percy peeked in through the crack in the door, looking dissatisfied. He had just opened a Christmas present, and he had a sweater on his arm. The sharp-eyed Fred grabbed it.
"'P' stands for prefect. Put it on, Percy. We're all wearing - Ron! What about yours! Put it on," Fred shouted at Ron
"I don't like dark fuchsia, I remember telling her," Ron grumbled half-truthfully. He put down the cake in his hand and put on his sweater.
"Okay~ We're all on now. Even Harry had it. Hurry up! George urged Percy
"I—don't want to—wear it!" Ignore Percy's defiance. The twins didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and forced the sweater into Percy.
Fred also said, "You are not allowed to sit with the prefects today!" Christmas is a time for the whole family to reunite. ”
“OK! Almost, let's go to the Christmas party! ”
"Wait, I just saw you guys eating cake"
"Oh, don't worry, Ivey sent a lot. Ron, take one for Percy. ”
"Don't! There isn't much left, and I'm ready to come back and eat again. ”
"You solitary bastard————"

Although there are not many people on Ivey's side, they are just as rich. First of all, it's a roast turkey that's nearly 16 inches tall, which is a holiday must-have. And this is not an ordinary roast chicken, this chicken has been marinated by Ivey in various ways, and it is still shabu with various seasonings when it is roasted. The roasting time is very short, and Ivy also asked Erin to cast a spell on the fierce fire, and the whole roast chicken is crispy and juicy, absolutely delicious.
There was ham, bacon, pork chops around, a variety of desserts on the dining car at the table, and Ivey baked some potato chips. Erin, who is used to eating french fries, likes this new way of eating. Finally, Ivey also made a few plates of jajanjangmyeon.
All in all, the Christmas dinner was very generous. It was when Ivy wanted them to drink some more and was refused.

The Syman community in South East London
"How many numbers are written in the address?" Erin drove slowly. This is a residential area with a lot of foot traffic.
What skateboarding, skating, cycling, more.
"67 Sman Community" Ivy reminded her
It's the second day of Christmas. Hogwarts will start the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow Ivy and the others will take the train back to school.
It just so happened that Hermione wrote yesterday and stayed at Ive's house for one night today, and went to school together tomorrow.
"It's only the 39th, and I still have to go in for a while"
The Sman community is an upscale single-family community. There are complete facilities here, all kinds of large supermarkets, shopping malls, there should be a lot.
The car slowly went deeper and finally stopped at the door of Villa 67.
"Hermione ——!" Ivy opened the door and got out of the car, clasping his hands together and shouting loudly. Betty, who had just gotten out of the car, quickly covered her ears.
"Bang!" The window on the right side of the third floor of the villa was slammed open. Hermione poked her little head out and waved excitedly at the two of them. Then they disappeared in front of the window, and with the sound of "kicking and kicking" downstairs, the door of the villa was slammed open, and Hermione ran towards them.
"You slow down~" Ivey was a little helpless about her fiery personality
"You're here!" Hermione rushed straight into Betty's arms, and the two hugged each other.
"Cleaned up?"
"I packed it up when I received the reply last night"
"Mr. Granger, they—"
"They went to work and spent two days at home for Christmas."
"Miss Granger, we'll help you with your luggage," Erin got out of the car.
Hermione looked at Ive
"This is my mother, Irene," Ivy introduced her
"Excuse me, Lady Irene," Hermione bowed. Then he led everyone into the room, beckoned everyone to sit down, and poured a cup of coffee for everyone.
"Don't be busy, Hermione. Let's leave early, and I'll have to make lunch."
"Okay, my luggage is in there, it's a bit much!" Hermione was a little embarrassed, and she ran to the study and rolled out a large trolley.
"So many things! Hermione, what did you bring?"
"Uh, most of them are books," Hermione scratched her head
"It's okay, except for the owl to be held alone, everything else is easy to say" Erin took out the bag that Ivy used during the holidays, "Just use this"
Throw the strap to Ivey
"Stretch without a trace?" Hermione's eyes lit up
"Well, let's get to work"
A few people were busy for a while and packed everything.
"Let's go"
————
Although I had driven as fast as I could, it was still nearly twelve o'clock when I arrived home.
"It's too late to cook, let's go out and eat. Wait for the afternoon to go to the street to buy groceries, and eat hot pot in the evening. Ivey suggested
"Row"
A few people helped Hermione quickly put away her luggage and drove to the city center, where they found a French restaurant not far from Cambridge University. The French cuisine here is particularly authentic, and the service and romantic atmosphere of the French restaurant are very enjoyable.
