Chapter Fifty-Eight: Whole, Funeral Celebration
Ted received the task of social death, but he didn't expect that the task props had to be prepared by himself, it's simple, the capitalists don't have you to exploit it!
Ted was about to get up to prepare his "Santa Claus suit" when he suddenly noticed a lot of gift boxes under the bed.
Ah, let the system break up, and almost forgot about your Christmas present.
I picked one up first, but I didn't expect it to be a Christmas gift from Ron's mother, Molly Weasley.
Ron had written home about Ted and Jerry.
At that time, Mo Li said that the two little pities were too pitiful, and they were welcome to come to the house to play at any time.
I didn't expect to prepare gifts for Christmas.
When Ted opened it, he saw a white striped sweater with a big "T" on his chest.
Ted tried it, it fit and warm, thanks to Lady Molly.
Later, he learned that Mrs. Molly had given Jerry a sweater, a yellow striped J sweater.
Give Hallie and Neville a large box of homemade lactose. According to Harley's reaction later, the taste is quite Ness~
Coincidentally, Ron's gift to Ted was his mother's homemade toffee~
Oh, by the way, Hermione didn't receive a gift from Lady Molly.
Ted himself gave Ron a box of Muggle candies of all colors, ranging from gummy candies to hard fruit candies. He definitely hadn't eaten it.
George and Fred were also given a Muggle joke book. The two of them are one person.
Ted opened the boxes one by one and filled the bed. In total, there are:
Neville gave him a copy of the Longbottom family's collection of books, "Legends of Wizards in the 16th Century", which chronicles the legends of more than a dozen wizards.
Coincidentally, Ted gave Neville a book, but it was written by his own hand—Braveheart.
The main character is Wallace, a blacksmith, who tells the story of his wife, who was persecuted to death by her lord, so she rose up against tyranny and finally died heroically.
Ted also wrote on the title page: "When you have something to protect, you become brave."
The movie "Braveheart" will not be released until four years later, if there is still this movie in this world.
Unbeknownst to him, Neville cried with excitement after reading the book.
His grandmother, Madame Augusta, asked him what was wrong, and then saw the handwritten book. "I want to thank this child in person when I have the opportunity," she said. ”
Hermione's Christmas present was a self-refilling pen that applied magic.
Ted smiled at the royal blue pen, no wonder Hermione had been secretly thinking about something before the holiday, it turned out that she was studying casting spells on the pen.
On the eve of the holiday, they signed the Ministry of Magic's Ordinance for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic on Holidays.
After signing this thing, the wand will be traced, and if someone nearby casts a spell, it will be noticed by the Ministry of Magic.
Later, after school started, Ron learned that Hermione had given Ted a pen as a Christmas present, expressing his incomprehension and reassuring him: "Don't be sad Ted, I believe Hermione didn't mean to." ”
In Ron's impression, this kind of gift is really bad~
Hermione immediately became angry, "Don't talk nonsense, that pen is good, Ted doesn't like sugar!" ”
In fact, almost all of Hermione's gifts to her other friends were candy.
Harley was given a large box of chocolate frogs, Ron was given a licorice wand, Neville was given a chocolate crucible cake, and Jerry was given Super Bubble Gum.
What Ted gave Hermione was a small notebook with a record of the magic spell he had "invented" - arcane wisdom.
What could be a better gift for Hermione than to add wisdom to yourself?
Hallie's gift was a copy of the Encyclopedia of Curses, said to be in the Black family's collection, and was once loved by her godfather Sirius - to learn how to deal with Snape~
Ted, on the other hand, gave Harley a timed magic clock, a mechanical alarm clock with a brass shell that he bought for £3, and he unleashed a little magic that allowed him to run around to avoid attacks when it rang.
Because Ted heard that Hallie always oversleeps~
Jerry gave him a thick cape, supposedly hand-sewn by his mother.
Ted's gift was a large box of Italian cheese, the size of a man's head!
In addition to this, Ted also received a gift from Mr. Slug, which was a Potions Tips. There's also a copy of The Witcher's Adventures by Old Tom at the Leaky Cauldron.
can make people who have been with each other remember and give gifts, which shows that Ted's personality is still very successful.
Ted's return gift to Mr. Slugher was a scabies potion he had brewed. And wrote to thank him for his two months of teaching, which laid a solid foundation for himself in potions.
Otherwise Snape would have bullied himself to death!
The gift to Old Tom was a small bottle of fiery whiskey, which was quite high, and I hoped he would not be greedy for a glass.
In addition, Ted also gave Tom Sr.'s granddaughter, Hannah the Iron Hat, a blue quill as a gift.
To his surprise, he saw Professor McGonagall's gift.
And it's two, a new wizard's robe.
Ted looked at the second-hand goods on his body, and the wear and tear was forgotten. Obviously, I had already picked a large one when I bought it, but I didn't expect it to be a little tight for a few months.
I'm growing up a little fast!
Professor McGonagall's gift was made with heart.
In addition to this, there is also a book - "Quidditch Technical Analysis"?!
Ted thought about it, maybe Professor McGonagall saw that his flying skills were not bad and wanted to cultivate his Quidditch hobby? That would disappoint her.
Speaking of which, the Gryffindor Quidditch team without a savior is no match for the unscrupulous Slytherin.
Luckily, Ted hadn't forgotten Professor McGonagall's kindness to him when he got him out of the orphanage, and he had to people twice to complete the mission, so he also prepared a gift - an off-white wool scarf.
Ted had considered giving Professor McGonagall a cardboard box, which she might have liked!
But I was worried that I would be turned into an animal and imprisoned in the Forbidden Forest, so I didn't dare.
Ted also gave his head a gift - a silver-chained monocle found at a Muggle thrift market.
He even gave Snape gifts, but I don't know if he liked it or not.
In addition to this, Ted also sent 50 pounds to the orphanage through Ansu, which caused great damage to his pocket money.
Ted: Are you saying that Ms. Ravenclaw can't leave a few pieces of gold in her inheritance?
After processing the presents, it was almost nine o'clock, and Ted hurried to find his Christmas suit.
If you're looking for something to do at Hogwarts, look no further than elves.
Ted came to the kitchen, "May I ask which gentleman can help me get something?" ”
As soon as he entered the door, five or six house-elves had already seen him, and before he could finish a word, he was already surrounded by seven or eight elves.
"Me! Me, me! ”
"Pick me! Pick me! Mr. Epiphani! ”
"I can help Mr. Epiphani find anything. Any! ”
"I can get twice as much of you!"
……
Ted didn't expect to be so popular.
"Don't worry. Not something weird, mainly I wanted to dress up as Santa Claus to bring some festive spirit to the castle. Clothes, hats, and beards are required. It's Christmas, after all! ”
He suddenly tapped his head, "Oh, I almost forgot." This is a Christmas present for you. It's a different flavor of candy that I bought from the Muggle world, so please try it! ”
As soon as they heard that Ted had prepared a Christmas gift for himself, or candy bought from the Muggle world, the elves' big eyes immediately began to "water"!
"Oh, don't do that, let's try the candy first, shall we. Don't cry, please! Ted begged.
Soon, the castle kitchen was filled with joyful air, and Ted got his Christmas set.
It's a little bit like it, but it has its own transfiguration.
So, before the Christmas banquet began at noon, the students who stayed at the school found that under the largest Christmas tree in the auditorium, there was a little old man with a white-rimmed red hat, a white beard, a white-edged red cotton jacket, and a black and bright big raven on his shoulder.
The little Muggle-born wizard immediately called out his name: "Santa Claus!" ”
Santa Claus is a concept that evolved in modern times based on traditional folklore stories from Europe, how can the wizards of the wizarding world know this? They don't even know who Jesus is!
So don't mention how much novelty.
But Ron, Jerry, and the others have already recognized Ted through Ansu!
The two looked at each other, Ron: What is Ted going to do?
Jerry: I don't know~
Ted, on the other hand, has already picked up the guitar and started singing, starting with a "Christmas Song" to help the fun.
"Jingle Ding Dong ~ Jingle Bell Ding Dong ~" Ted sang and sang, almost not turning to Honey Snow Ice City.
At the end of the simple song, the students who stayed in school in a large circle immediately applauded.
Ted exerted his ability to sing at the beginning, and came to another song, this time it was a cheerful "Rabbit Dance"~
