Chapter 189: Good intentions Snape
Just as sniffing always takes away those glittering things silently, owls seem to have the same ability.
On Christmas Day, Kyle wakes up and sees a mountain of gifts piled up next to his bed, but the outrageous thing is that so many gifts are being brought in, and he doesn't even notice it.
Kyle rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but say curiously, "Raton, do you owls have any hidden abilities......"
Ratton, who was resting on the wooden frame with his eyes closed, raised his wings and let out a feeble cry.
While Kyle gave most of his Christmas gifts to the Owl Post Office, he gave them to Ratton for his family, friends, and professors.
It's just that Kyle has a little more friends.
In a hurry, Ratton flew almost at full speed all night last night, and he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his wings when he came back, and he was in no mood to respond to Kyle's boring questions.
"I'm sorry for the hard work."
Kyle embarrassedly walked over to it and poured a bottle of owl tonic into the bowl, adding a small piece of braised dragon liver to it.
Dragon's liver is a better pet snack than Motra rat jerky, but it's too expensive, costing sixteen sicos the size of a bottle of elixir.
It's faster than grabbing money.
The dragon liver Kyle prepares is a Christmas present for Ratton, and it costs a total of ten Galleons.
Seriously, he had never eaten such extravagant things himself.
Raton took a few mouthfuls of dragon liver and drank some tonics, and finally felt a lot more energetic.
Kyle then returns to the bedside and begins to unpack the gifts, most of which are candy and chocolates, more than last year.
"Kyle, oh no!"
Ten minutes later, a scream suddenly came from the common room.
It was Connor's voice.
Kyle quickly put down the half-dismantled chocolate in his hand and hurried out of the dormitory.
In the common room, Connor was standing anxiously with a freshly opened box in her arms.
"How...... Something happened. Kyle asked quickly.
Connor bit her lip and said with some confusion, "I...... I'm throwing Galleon again, could it be Pochi......"
Because of what happened last year, after finding out that she had lost Gareon, Connor immediately thought of the witch who had become a mouse.
"What do you think, it's impossible."
Kyle waved his hand and comforted, "She's probably making breakfast for the Dementors right now, but she doesn't have time to come to Hogwarts."
Maybe you just forgot where you put Gareon. ”
"Well......
Hearing Kyle say this, Connor also breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Then I'll look for it again, Garon is not important, but I like that crystal hairpin a lot." ”
"Wait...... Crystal hairpins? ”
Kyle was suddenly stunned for a moment, and frowned, "Is there anything else missing?" ”
"It's nothing......"
Connor tilted her head and thought for a moment and said, "Some Galleons, a crystal hairpin...... Oh yes, and there's a silver brooch that I just opened as a gift, and it's gone in a blink of an eye. ”
Gareon ...... Crystal...... Silver brooch ......
Kyle's eyes jumped twice, as if he already knew what was going on.
"Wait a minute."
Kyle took a deep breath and took out the "Philosopher's Stone".
In the next second, a black furball swooped straight from the corner of the common room.
Kyle saw the opportunity and grabbed it by the collar at the back of its neck, then quickly reached out and scratched it twice on its stomach.
With a clanging sound.
Galleons, hairpins, brooches, stones, flower pots...... A large pile of things fell out of the sniffer's pocket like rain, and it screamed in a hurry.
"Is this sniffing?" Connor said in surprise.
She'd seen the fantastic creature a few times before, covered in black fluff, with a duck-like flat beak, plus that pocket......
Definitely sniff, yes.
"That's not right."
Connor wondered, "Isn't Sniff supposed to live in the Forbidden Forest?" Why is it in our common room? ”
"Uh...... It's called Jerry, and I raised it. ”
Kyle gathered away the large pile of things on the floor and said embarrassedly, "Maybe I didn't look good last night, and it sneaked out of the dorm room on its own." ”
It was a real sight for Merlin, and Kyle remembered how he had put the little guy back in the box before he went to bed last night.
Could it be that the box is not tightly closed?
But in any case, fortunately, it was found early, and if it had been a little later, I am afraid that more than this would have been lost.
It was the first time that Connor had been so close to Sniff, and she walked over and asked expectantly, "Can I touch it?" ”
"Absolutely." Kyle casually handed Sniff to Connor and reminded him, "But you have to look at something reflective on your body, and be careful not to be stolen by it." ”
"Okay, okay." Connor replied perfunctorily, then carefully rubbed Sniff's head.
The fluffy soft touch made her eyes squint involuntarily.
Seeing this, Kyle returns to his dorm room and continues to unpack the present.
It is worth mentioning that this year, in addition to candy, he received the most books.
Whether it's a very professional academic theory of magic, a detailed explanation of Quidditch-related techniques, or a biography of a person, there are all kinds of them.
There's even a copy of "Sniff's Postpartum Care", which Kyle takes a closer look and realizes that it was Newt who gave it.
Dumbledore gave him a pair of hand-knitted wool socks with beautiful golden-red patterns on them, as well as Kyle's initials.
Kyle squinted his eyes and looked at them for a long time, before he was sure that the material of those lines was Fawkes's feathers...... And it's also tail feathers.
Knit socks with precious phoenix tail feathers...... I really don't know what Dumbledore thinks.
How nice it is to knit into gloves, at least others can see it.
As for the gift he gave to Dumbledore, it was much more affordable, "Three Hundred Ways to Weave Wool Socks"
It belongs to last year's advanced version, and there are 200 more kinds, which is enough for him to learn for a while.
But the biggest surprise for Kyle is that he actually received a Christmas present from Snape this year.
A piece of moldy parchment.
Kyle understands that he must be trying to use this as a way to remind himself that he must study hard and take more notes in class.
If you don't have any knowledge in your head, it will become useless like this parchment over time.
Kyle couldn't help but sigh in his heart for Professor Snape's good intentions......
Only such a good professor is worthy of two gifts from him.
In addition to the usual shampoo, there is also a book that he has carefully selected and which has been the most popular among wizards and has been on the number one selling list several times......
