The start of the holiday season was not very good, and the school did not know what was going on, probably because the temperature dropped so suddenly and violently, and there was a ferocious flu outbreak among the students.

Two-thirds of the students who stayed at the school were recruited, and one by one sneezed and had a fever.

However, there are special effects in the wizarding world, and Madam Pomfrey's special cold spirit will be effective after drinking it for a few minutes, and the small side effects are not worth mentioning - the seven orifices are just smoke.

So the whole school could always see some little wizards emitting white smoke from the top of their heads, nostrils, and ears, like humanoid chimneys.

Ted and Neville didn't get hit, and they were in good health and didn't feel anything at all.

However, Neville has been in a very low mood these days because of the Parseltongue incident.

And Ted, he's pretty low, too.

Ted: I was a little scared when I heard about the cold and cough, probably because after a few years, I had post-traumatic conditions.

Because the number of students staying on campus during the Christmas holidays is small, the house-elves in the kitchen are able to show off their cooking skills more.

Various dishes have been served, and some dishes that are not suitable for making large pots are now available.

For example, spicy shredded chicken~

George was sweating profusely while eating hard.

Fred next to him complained: "You are shasha, I thought you had a Parseltongue attack!" ”

The little wizards next to them laughed scoffingly.

Don't say it, the twins' funny behavior of telling jokes about Parseltongue and heirs these days is still very useful.

Now the students are not as wary of things like Neville Parseltongue and the Chamber of Secrets as they were at the beginning.

These two guys still have some ideas.

The next day was Christmas, and in addition to Neville's three in their bedroom, there was also a little black child, Dean.

Seamus goes home for the holidays, but Dean stays at school because of his family.

This kid was so nervous that he secretly called his mother, and he didn't dare to sleep until Neville fell asleep at night.

As soon as Neville stood up or spoke, he was like a mouse meeting a cat.

This Ron, and the two had a fight over football last year and were reconciled.

As a result, this year, because of Dean's attitude towards Neville, Ron had another big fight with him.

Neville persuaded, "Ron, you don't have to. It's okay. ”

Ron waved his hand and said angrily, "It's not all because of you, I get angry when I see him like that." As if someone was going to eat him! ”

In the evening, Ron was writing something at his desk, scratching his head when he wrote two sentences, and he looked like he had a headache and didn't know how to write.

Jerry quietly leaned over: Lose it, lose it~ It's me!

"Ron, you've been working hard lately! What to write? Let me see! ”

Ron hurriedly covered his notebook: "Brother Jie, don't do it~"

But it was still seen by Jerry, and he had already read it out: "The slugs earned 6 Galleons and 12 Sicos, and sold amulets to earn 3 Jinlong and 13 Sico!" George gave me 2 less Jinlong, saying that my contribution was less! I remember him, I won't have this brother in the future! ”

"Good guy, you make a lot of money!"

Jerry's heart fluttered - or else, I'll spit out two buckets of slugs too?!

……

The next day, Christmas, Merlin blessed, the weather was fine.

Ted opened his eyes and showed that he had received a task:

"Ding~ Trigger Task:

【Bright Smile (Green)】

On this big day of celebration for the whole world, of course you have to be happy. As a proud disciple of Professor Lockhart, it is obligatory to promote his bright smile.

Goal: Hold a toothpick in your mouth and show your sparkling smile to everyone 30 times.

Rewards: 250 XP, card [Shake Tiger (Green)].

Hey, your teeth are good, your appetite is good, and your body is great! ”

Yo! This card looks pretty good!

This bonus card turned out to be the Ghost Tiger?!

Ted sat up from the bed, and during the holidays, there were only himself and Ansu in the dormitory, and they were already in a room.

Ted saw a pile of gifts on the floor at the foot of the bed. First press to endure the joy and go to wash. Then come back and open the gifts.

The first thing to open was Hagrid's gift, a bundle of unicorn tail hair!

Because Ted was interested in unicorn fur during the exchange.

Hagrid has a messy mat in his house, made of unicorn hair. However, the best unicorn hair is the tail hair.

For the sake of this bundle of unicorn tail hair, Hagrid went to the Forbidden Forest every day to collect unicorn hair.

Mrs. Weasley gave Ted a hand-knitted scarf with a T on it this year. There was also a large piece of raisin cake, which was very sweet.

It seems that after seven years of study, Ted should be able to put together an "Aunt Molly suit".

And Ted's Christmas gift to Aunt Molly was "Classic Stick Knitting Patterns 101" bought at the Muggle bookshop. It's just right.

Hermione had given her a pair of woollen gloves, which she had knitted herself! It can be seen from the craftsmanship that there are many threads that are woven wrong, and there is even a large and a small one.

But thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and I can't say anything.

Hallie gave a copy of "Black's Alchemy Secret Recipe", a book about alchemy, which is the collection of the Black family~

……

In the morning, Ted waited for his friends in the auditorium early.

He was holding a toothpick, wrapped around his neck, and Ansu with feathers reflecting on his shoulders, and he smiled handsomely at every classmate he met, and the bright people couldn't open their eyes.

"What the hell, how many are they? Hurry up and complete this task while there are few people! ”

Ted hurried to show off his little white fangs, thinking about ending it as soon as possible so that more people wouldn't know.

Then the friends came, first Hermione.

"Ted, thank you for the gift, I love it. Ansu, Merry Christmas~"

Hermione looked at Ted and asked strangely, "Ted, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, it's okay, I remembered something happy." Ted hurriedly put away his smile, it's just a few close, come on!

For the sake of the Ghost Tiger card, I couldn't afford to give up halfway.

Luckily, Hermione didn't dig into it and excitedly told Ted about the Christmas present.

"The magic comb you gave me is very useful." She shook her head from side to side as she showed Ted her hair, "It's very smooth and time-saving." ”

Miss Xueba's time is precious, and she doesn't spend too much time combing her hair, so her hair always looks fluffy and messy.

But with Ted's invention of a softening shampoo and a Christmas gift, the magic wooden comb that combs your hair automatically, it can be done in minutes, and it's much better now.

It was a wooden comb carved from ebony wood, and Ted had carved a comic-style pattern of Miss Beaver with flowers. Very attentive~

Hermione didn't notice Ted's "sinister intentions" and laughed, "Do you know my first reaction when I first got the magic comb?" It reminds me of the story of Snow White! I thought, should I faint as soon as I comb my hair with it? ”

In the story of Snow White, there is a scene where the queen is assassinated with a wooden comb.

First the belt, then the wooden comb, and finally the poisoned apple.

But speaking of Snow White, Ted has some ideas - should you tell your friends about dark fairy tales?

At this time, the four Gryffindors also came, and Ted gritted his teeth, picked up a toothpick, and smiled brightly at the four.

Jerry hurriedly blocked his eyes: What is it? It's glaring!

The four were stunned: Is this some kind of weird Christmas ritual?

Ron whispered with a serious face, "It's not good, Ted seems to be possessed by Lockhart!" ”

Hermione asked curiously, "Ron, what are you doing here?" ”

Jerry shrugged: "Ron's old owl really can't work anymore, it sheds its hair badly, and when it came to deliver the package in the morning, it hit its head on Ron's bed and almost lost its breath." ”

Hermione gave a clean up and cleaned up the messy feathers off Ron's body.

Either way, Ted breathed a sigh of relief. Finally this task is complete!

If you continue to laugh, the students will have to go to the school hospital by themselves.

Friends said Merry Christmas and thanked each other for their gifts.

Ted's gift to Neville was still a book, The Shepherd Boy's Fantastic Journey, a Muggle book, published in 1988.

It is a book about dreams, destiny, and choices. It's like a fairy tale, and it's like chicken soup.

Ted wrote on the title page of the book: When you truly desire something, the whole universe unites to help you accomplish it.

Give Ron an amulet, made from unicorn fur from Hagrid.

The Guardian Tree is a magical Yamanashi tree that protects those who touch its trunk from dark creatures. Unicorn fur is channeled to suppress dark forces.

Ted casts a mind-calming psychic ability on the amulet, preventing nightmares.

Ted listened to Jerry say that Ron was always having nightmares during this time - some injuries that would take a long time to heal.

There's also a prank toy for Harry, and when the box is opened, a boxing glove will pop out to punch you. Harley had already pitted several people in the morning.

Muggle-made Nike sneakers for Jerry.

In addition to his friends, Ted also gave Luna a copy of One Thousand and One Nights.

Give Professor McGonagall a Quidditch Seeker figure - a Q version of Professor McGonagall chasing the Gold Snitch on a broomstick.

He also anonymously sent Snape's a large bottle of self-developed softening shampoo, hoping that he would pay attention to personal hygiene~

Ted also spent pounds sterling to buy a bearskin coat at a Muggle fur shop for Hagrid.

At this time, in the hunter's hut, Hagrid had just opened Ted's gift and pulled out this special large bearskin coat.

He was overjoyed: "Look! How smooth, it's so much better than the moleskin coat I packed myself. ”
