Chapter 21: Christmas Trivia
Kano used to be an ordinary Chinese and never seriously celebrated the so-called "foreign festival".
But now that he is an Englishman, this festival should be celebrated as the Spring Festival of his previous life.
Kano carefully chose a gift for his friends. He buys Ron a new set of wizarding chess in the hope that he will have fun.
Neville was given a magic quill that could write what the writer had forgotten. This product was modified by Kano himself by dismantling a memory ball and a shorthand quill pen.
He extracted the core spells of both, namely the "Retrieve" of the Memory Ball and the "Output" of the Shorthand Quill, and spliced them together to obtain the magic quill.
Hermione was the least bothered, and Carnot bought her a set of The Tales of the Poet Bean. As a wizard from an ordinary background, there is nothing wrong with adding a little wizard's fairy tale.
As for Harry, Kano would love to buy him a copy of How to Get Along with Fools* to use against his hated relatives.
But considering that Harry had been reading books and wanted to vomit lately, Kano still let him go. A gift card from Duke Bee should give him a sweet Christmas.
Professors routinely don't accept gifts from students, but Kano and Dumbledore were equal, so he gave Dumbledore a pointed-toe wizard's hat that flickered and changed color.
As long as he dares to wear it on the street, enthusiastic people will turn Lao Deng into the most beautiful boy in the bar.
Kano himself sat under the Christmas tree and opened the presents, opening them and giving them to his mouth. Most of the gifts from the students were snacks, but Kreacher picked out a lot of chocolates mixed with aphrodisiac.
Kano reluctantly checked the delivery people, and there were all over the four major colleges, from the lower grades to the upper grades.
"It's still early for Valentine's Day... Kreacher, were Regulus and Sirius so popular before? ”
"Little master." Kreacher trembled, "The pure-blooded young ladies are very fond of Master Regulus, as for the obscene embryo who disgraced the family..."
"Kreacher, it's Christmas, even by name." Kano reminded helplessly.
Kreacher bowed, "Sirius always attracts a few different guys, and thankfully, he left home after graduation." ”
Kano touched his face thoughtfully: "It seems that the genes of the Black family are really good, and perhaps this family background has also attracted many people." ”
"The Black family will always be noble and pure!" Kreacher immediately screamed, "As long as the little master is willing, there will definitely be many young ladies from pure-blood families who are willing to associate with you." ”
Kreacher was not alone in this moment, Kano's old grandmother, and the ancestors of the Black family for generations were standing behind him at this moment.
They sent out soul torture through Kreacher's mouth.
"When is the little master going to get married and have children, and continue the bloodline of the Black family?"
"I'll talk about this when I'm an adult."
Kano indifferently held down the excited Kreacher, otherwise he seemed to be going to various pure-blood families to distribute flyers in the next second.
What Kano didn't expect was that there was a gift from the Weasleys.
Mrs. Weasley knitted him a blue pullover sweater with a large letter "C" on it.
Arthur. Weasley sent him a photo and a letter.
The photo shows a red-haired girl sipping butterbeer, a Santa hat swayed on her head, and a turkey on a table in the background.
"Canopus, this is a picture of your mother, Vivien, taken at our family's Christmas dinner two years before she died."
"Over the years, I never thought I'd ever see her son in front of me. I hope you'll come to the Burrow during the summer holidays, I'd love to see you in person. ”
"Your uncle, Arthur. Weasley. ”
Kano looked at the young girl in the photo and smiled and handed it to Kreacher.
"Frame it for me, right next to my bedroom bedside."
In Kano's impression, Vivien was brave, strong, and gave herself a chance to survive with her life.
But in the eyes of her brothers, she had always been the little girl who had not yet grown up, and suddenly disappeared from their lives.
"Speaking of which, Kreacher." Kano suddenly remembered, "How could my parents be together at that time? Haven't Blake and Weasley always looked at each other badly? ”
Kreacher didn't seem to intend to talk about Regulus's privacy, but the person who asked the question was his own son, and Kreacher subconsciously wiped his hands with a towel and organized the language.
"Little master, this story could be long. You go to Diagon Alley first, and when you come back in the evening, old Kreacher will have the story and the dinner party ready. ”
Kano didn't have a big deal, he also wanted to experience Christmas in England.
Walking through the streets, people's faces are filled with festive joy. Every shop is decorated with golden ribbons, and some even have a Christmas tree in front of them.
Kano strode to the Leaky Cauldron, where Old Tom was still standing at the bar, but he was also wearing a Santa hat, which looked a little similar to the house-elf Kreacher.
Even at Christmas, the lobby of the Leaky Cauldron is still dirty. However, this is a feature of this long-established hotel, as their rooms are clean and tidy.
"The little master of the Black family." Old Tom greeted, "How do you have time to come to me today?" ”
"Just call me Carno, Hogwarts is on vacation, I'll just hang out."
"Would you like a glass of flame whiskey?" Old Tom's tone was strange, as if he was expecting something.
"Forget it, I'm still a kid." Kano waved his hand, and the drinker next to him burst into laughter.
"Kano, this old guy has been a boss for so many years, and he has never sold alcoholic drinks to children." One slightly tipsy guy explained, "If you do ask for a so-called flame whiskey, he'll give you a cup with butterbeer and paprika, and it'll really make you breathe fire." ”
Another drinker added, "And no matter which young master you are, your parents will applaud and will never come to trouble Old Tom." ”
Kano laughed too, threw down a few copper nats, asked for a cup of coffee, and walked into Diagon Alley with the cup in hand.
Diagon Alley is also in a festive atmosphere, with street vendors selling snacks shuttling back and forth, shops launching Christmas incentives, and people looking at the sale signs one by one are very impulsive to pull out their wallets.
Kano saw Neville being dragged down the street by a very serious old lady. Upon seeing Kano, Neville's eyes lit up and he walked over to him.
