Love needed a place where he could make potions. The dormitory is too small and not too convenient, but the Potions classroom is a good place, but it is easy to encounter the wild monster that spawns there: Gryffindor Destroyer Snape, so it was also vetoed by Love. Although two options have been ruled out, there are many more places to choose from, such as the Room of Requirement and the abandoned classroom.

After much deliberation, he decided to make a potion in the Room of Requirement, which was secluded enough not to be disturbed by passers-by or ghosts.

After making his decision, Love didn't go to the Room of Requirement in the first place, he had to go to the potions storage room to get the materials first. He was glad that the other potion materials used in the potion were not uncommon, and they could be found in the students' storerooms.

Soon, Love showed up outside the Responsive House with a full set of potion materials.

"I need a place where I can make potions." After Love had repeated his thoughts three times, the door to the Room of Request appeared. Behind the door is a miniature version of the Potions classroom, with an operating table in the center, and a large number of shelves and cabinets next to it, all the tools needed to make potions.

The only pity is that this hut does not provide any potion materials, which is also the disadvantage of the Room of Requirement, it cannot conjure food and potion materials out of thin air, which need to be brought by the user.

Love put the various ingredients on the table and began to make the potion according to the recipe of the potion.

The preparation of the potion was not complicated, it seemed to Love that it was as simple as making tea, and by the last step, there was already a small blob of golden clear liquid in the crucible. The liquid, like glue, looks very viscous and has a pleasant golden yellow shimmer on the surface.

Love carefully took a strand of Hermione's hair out of his pocket and added it to it.

The moment the hair was added, the golden liquid turned brown to the same color as Hermione's hair. After the last flavor of ingredients was added, the gelatinous liquid quickly softened and returned to its normal state, with some tiny bubbles emerging from it.

Seeing that the potion performed exactly as it fit the tutorial guide, Love knew that his potion was ready. He poured the potion into a small crystal bottle, and then cast a few spells to quickly empty the mana in his body.

After exhausting the magic in his body, he picked up the crystal bottle and drank the brown liquid from the bottle.

Unlike other potions, the potion does not have a strange smell, but after entering it, it still has a hint of the aroma of Hermione's hair and a faint sweetness, which is a very delicious potion.

At the entrance of the potion, a warmth began to flow between his chest and abdomen, and Love also felt that his depleted body was filled with magic again, and this bottle of potion was simply filling up his magic power.

Love's eyes lit up: the potion was even more energy efficient than he expected! He hurriedly used the remaining raw materials to prepare several more bottles of potion until the raw materials he brought with him were exhausted.

……

In addition to preparing potions, Love has one more important thing to do: prepare Christmas presents for his friends. Giving Christmas gifts to each other is an important social etiquette, and it would be rude to receive a gift from the other person but not prepare to return it.

Love prepared different gifts according to the different personalities of his friends. Ron was so fond of playing wizarding chess that he gave him the set of wizarding chess he had received from Marcus on the first day of school as a gift, and it was a trophy for Love, not even a single nut spent.

Harry's preferences were mixed, and Quidditch was one of them, but Love wasn't as rich as Professor McGonagall and couldn't afford to give a broomstick, so he decided to send something different. He made a trophy pedestal to house the Quidditch trophy that Harry would win in the future. Of course, it would be an eyesore if Harry didn't win the House Cup, but Love had faith in Harry that he could still be a "Best Seeker" medal. Love thinks that his trophy is very distinctive, because in addition to the wooden base, there are four statues of villains at the four corners of the base, which are none other than Love, Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

Gifts for boys are mainly fun, and things for girls should be thoughtful. After all, boys can give some sand sculpture gifts, and if the gifts to girls are too sand sculptures, they will become the material for chatting between girlfriends, and the theme of the material is "the gifts that straight men gave themselves in those years" - there are many gifts in the eyes of boys who are obviously super cool, and I don't know why girls don't like it.

Love made a small silver fox pendant for Senior Sister Faulcis, and he felt that this was very suitable for Senior Sister's temperament and name. The gift to Hermione was a leaf-like bookmark, but Love copied a lot of spells on the bookmark, such as Fluorescent Flicker, Arajo Cave, and Yugadim Leviosa. Love thinks that Faulcy and Hermione will love what they give away.

After a sleepless night, Love woke up the next morning to find a small pile of presents at the foot of his bed. Harry and Ron, who had stayed in school like him, had risen before him, and they were already unpacking the gifts they had received.

"Merlin's boxers! Love, you, Merlin! This wizard chess is too—" Ron's face flushed with excitement, but he soon realized that the gift was so valuable that he didn't have a proper gift in return.

"Pretty, isn't it? Dude, I won it from that Slytherin captain who seems to have troll blood! Love's words were full of pride. Although he solved the problem by sneak attack, and he was able to get an apology and the credit of Foxie, this was his trophy after all.

Gifts bought with money and booty from prostitutes are two different concepts, and the latter is obviously more acceptable to Ron.

"Take it, these chess pieces in my hands will only be dusty, it's better to give them to the person who is best at playing chess." Love persuaded.

Seeing that Love said this, Ron was no longer entangled, he accepted the chess pieces, and patted his chest and promised to teach Love his chess skills, so that he could beat the invincible Gryffindors.

"Not necessarily." Love has little interest in wizarding chess, but he sincerely invites Ron to play the wizarding card game he developed with him in the future.

"I'm going to make a card game called Wizard Kill, if you are interested in the future, you can play with me and help design cards together to ensure the balance of the game."

"Really?" Not only Ron, but Harry, who was looking through his package, was also attracted to it, there are not many games in the wizarding world, and they are really looking forward to the "wizard killing" in Love's mouth.
