Soon Christmas arrived.

The first gift Calvin saw was Savannah's Howler letter. He had been attending classes at the castle instead of helping out in the reserve, much to Savannah's displeasure.

Calvin ignored Savannah's yelling letter swearing that he was the boss who exploited his subordinates, threw a freezing spell and fell to the side. He turned to the other side and began to pay attention to the pile of Christmas presents under the window.

After a glance, it is estimated that there are less than eighty.

It's a little less than in previous years, after all, I moved to the UK to work, and it is not convenient for friends from other countries to send gifts.

After eating the breakfast brought by Amor, Calvin began to unpack it with great interest.

About half of them were greeting cards from his book fans, and Calvin never turned down even such a meager gift, insisting that every greeting card should be replied to.

After all, as an author, the happiest thing is for someone to read his work – and of course most of the work of writing letters is left to Amor.

The second is the gifts from Calvin's friends all over the world.

Dumbledore sent a yellowed notebook, which was Dumbledore's understanding of the soul. Calvin flipped through it roughly, and sneered: Dumbledore's research on souls was much more radical than his own. Calvin gave Dumbledore a sweater made of Icelandic fire sheep wool, light and warm, suitable for an elderly man like Dumbledore.

Hagrid gave him a necklace made of teeth from the dragons he had raised. Calvin gave him a little bit of experience in raising dragons, and he plans to publish the notebook next year.

Madame Maxime, who was far away in France, sent a large box of macarons and a bottle of malt whisky to her favorite students, hoping that Calvin would not forget the taste of home in England. Calvin wanted Madame Maxim to like the opal necklace he had sent.

Snape sent a copy of the Pureblood Directory of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans, with the names of several families circled in red.

"Tsk, Snape, I don't know if you're trying to help me or hurt me." Calvin tossed the book aside.

As for his gift to Snape, it was a picture he had chosen from a thousand times, a picture of Lily. In the photo, Lily is smiling and looking at the camera with a spring breeze on her face - the person who took the picture is James.

As for Nicol Lemay's gift, it is the most interesting: there is only a note that reads "D'abord". Calvin couldn't help but laugh and wrote, "Moi aussi" on the back of the note. I'm going to return it to Nicol Lemay in a moment.

Of course, these gifts were also given by his students.

For example, the Weasley twins, who like to play pranks the most, send a pair of glasses and a tie, the glasses can temporarily cover a person's appearance, and the tie can temporarily change a person's voice. Although the lasting effect is not long, it can be regarded as two mature works.

Cedric sent a painting, "Calvin Chasing the Murderer in the Forbidden Forest", in which Calvin rides a cat and leopard in the moonlight, chasing him deep into the Forbidden Forest. It seems that Cedric listened to Draco's story.

Young Master Draco sent a gorgeous quill, supposedly made from his white peacock.

In the afternoon, Calvin finished unpacking his gifts and prepared to leave the castle to visit the reserve. As a boss, of course, you should send warmth to your employees during the holidays.

However, there was a knock on the office door, and Calvin had to take off his coat. Rehang it on the back of the chair.

"Come in."

Two furry heads squeezed in, Harry and Ron.

"Merry Christmas, Professor Capet!"

Calvin smiled, "Merry Christmas, what's the matter?" By the way, gentlemen, do you like the gift I give? ”

Ron received a gift from the World Spider Guide, Hermione received a picture book from the book "Learning Without Play, Smart Jack Becomes Stupid", and Harry received a copy of the Slytherin Book of Good Wizards.

Calvin has carefully selected gifts.

Of course, in addition to this, Harry also received a portrait of his mother.

The two of them shook their heads together, then nodded.

Calvin was a little disappointed and said wistfully, "I thought you would like my gift?" ”

Ron pouted and pleaded palely, "Yes, we all love your gifts." Especially me, I can't wait to sleep with it at night. ”

"Don't lie in front of me," Calvin waved his hand, "Did I tell you, Ron, that you don't have a talent for lying?" ”

"Say it. What's the matter with coming to me? Calvin waved his wand and delivered them three cups of hot cocoa.

"Professor Capet, we already know who Nicol Lemay is." Harry said nervously.

"You already know?!" Calvin took a sip of hot cocoa to hide his surprise: I haven't told you yet, you can find out for yourself.

It was dramatic: Harry opened a chocolate frog in the morning, a gift from Hermione. When he picked up the included wizard card, he finally found Nicol Lemay.

"Ron, look at this!" Harry excitedly held up his card, "I've found Lemay!" I've told you where I've seen the name before, it turns out that I saw it on the train here—listen to this: 'Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering twelve uses of dragon blood, and being fruitful in alchemy with his collaborator Nicolame!'"

Ron was thrilled to see this, but soon calmed down - they still didn't know anything about Nicol Lemay except for the description on the card, let alone what was hidden behind the trapdoor.

Harry and Ron had to go to George and Fred first, after all, the wizard card introduced Donikor Lemay as effective in alchemy.

"So, you found Nicol Lemay on the Chocolate Frog?" Surprised, George took the wizard card and flipped through it several times, while Fred rummaged through their notebooks. After a moment he shrugged:

"Little Ronnie, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, and we don't have any more clues about Nicol Lemay."

Harry and Ron sat in the common room in a dejected state, and the clues they had managed to catch were going to be lost like this?

Fortunately, at noon, Hermione's owl sent the light of day: there was a copy of "Medieval Alchemist" in my dorm room, which turned to page 658.

Harry asks Hermione's roommate, Lavender Brown, to bring out the book. As Lavender came down with the brick-heavy book, he muttered, "I don't know why she borrowed such an old and heavy book." ”

"Maybe it's a pastime to read." Ron replied casually, then took the book, flipped to page 658 of Hermione's mention, and they figured it all out:

Nicol Lemay is known as the only maker of the Philosopher's Stone!
