Chapter 154: Christmas gift

In the first week of the Christmas holiday, even though there was a lot of holiday homework to complete... Jon didn't have any thoughts to put on it.
He needs to spend a lot of time preparing Christmas gifts for his friends and relatives; at the same time, he continues to explore the mystery of the potion sequence; and fantasizes about what his "male woman" dance partner looks like. ,
Heavy snow fell on the castle and Quidditch field.
Boothbarton’s light blue carriage looks like a big frosted pumpkin in winter, and the little gingerbread house with icing next to it is Hagrid’s cabin; on the side of the ship of Durmstrang A layer of ice was formed and it became smooth and translucent, and the sails were also dyed with a layer of hoarfrost.
The house elves in the kitchen were very busy, preparing a variety of hot stews and sweet puddings for the Christmas banquet... Jon had tasted them a week in advance, and they all tasted pretty good.
On Christmas Day, it is approaching a little bit.
...
On Christmas morning, Jon opened his eyes sleepily.
Because he felt something hit him.
It was a gray owl. It threw a huge package on Jon's body, then made a "cuckoo" cry and flew away beamingly.
"This owl!" Jon got up from the bed angrily, and then saw a mountain of gifts piled up at the corner of the bed.
There are a few more gifts than in previous years.
The first thing Jon opened was the huge package that woke him up.
It was sent by Professor Sprout... and it said "dress" crookedly.
Tear open the outer packaging, Jon opened it... and found that there was a gray suit inside.
A suit that looks very old-fashioned, the style should be quite popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and it was a little wrinkled... Jon forced it on to his body, looked in the mirror, and quickly took it off.
Professor Sprout's aesthetics... Jon was unable to complain, and wearing this suit, he was estimated to be the ugliest of the four warriors at night.
Now Jon doesn't have any positive fantasies about the "dance partner" at night... It's probably the same as this ugly gray suit.
Jon casually threw the suit onto the bed, and then opened the follow-up Christmas present.
Eric and Judy’s gift is an IBM Simon mobile phone that was launched in June... This should also be the world's first "smart phone". It's a pity that Hogwarts didn't receive any signals, and this thing could do nothing but serve as a brick.
After receiving the phone in the suitcase, Jon saw that there was a letter in the gift box... In the letter, his parents told him not to rush back, and have fun at school.
Jon opened the third box, and Zacharias Smith gave him a book called "Quidditch Teams in Britain and Ireland".
Reluctantly putting it in the suitcase, Jon opened the fourth Christmas gift box.
A very small box, Jon opened it... and found a fiery red egg-like thing that fell out of it.
Jon was almost frightened... he quickly grabbed it with his hands, but didn't let it fall to the ground... Then he hurriedly cast a Freezing Charm on the "egg", and then took it back into the box.
This is the egg of a fire gray snake, a very precious potion, and it is also a dangerous item that can cause a terrible fire without paying attention.
Although there is no signature, Jon doesn't need to guess who sent it... A few weeks ago, he just helped an old greasy bat handle a batch of fire gray snakes.
But what is the taste of Professor Snape's gift... Jon shook his head.
...
In the next box, there is a big box of candies, with all kinds of flavors: Bibi Duo, Chocolate Frog, Chubao Super Bubble Gum, Zizi Bee Candy...
It seems that its owner is a loyal candy lover.
Jon put away such a pile of candies, and then found a book at the bottom of the box.
Looking familiar, Jon picked it up... the whole person was shocked again.
The title of this book is "The Secret of Cutting-edge Black Magic".
There is also a note attached to the book: "Phineas tells me you are interested in it, so I will give it to you!"
Jon didn't know what to say... Could this be fishing again?
If you want to go fishing, just go fishing. I ate all the bait myself. Who else would I lie to... Jon sighed and put the "Cutting-edge Black Magic Reveal" on his bookshelf.
The last gift was also a large box without any signature.
"What is this again?"
Jon opened it carefully, and was surprised to find that there was a black tuxedo inside.
Compared to the gray suit before, this tuxedo looks obviously much more comfortable and much neater.
Could it be that Professor Sprout knew that the set she just prepared was too bad, so he changed it?
Jon thought to himself.
At the same time, he was ready to wear this tuxedo to the banquet at night.
...
There is no Christmas tea in the afternoon because there is a banquet at the ball. At seven o'clock, the sky dimmed.
Jon came to Hufflepuff’s common room. Ernie, Justin, Wayne...All the boys above the fourth grade have come here, and many of them appear to be embarrassed, even with a frightened expression.
The girls also came out one by one, all of them dressed up, chatting and talking; there were many girls in the second and third grades.
In short, everyone is no longer all black robes~EbookFREE.me~ but colorful robes.
"Let's go!" At half past seven, as the prefect, Cedric Diggory said: "Now, let's go to the hall together!"
They came to the entrance of the hall together, and the entrance hall was also full of students, all spinning back and forth, waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock, then the door of the auditorium would open.
Some people want to meet with dancing partners from other academies, and squeeze sideways in the crowd, looking for their counterparts.
"Jon!" Professor Sprout hurried over. She was no longer wearing a muddy gray robe, but changed to a somewhat old floral skirt... With her chubby body, she looked ten younger. Looking at it from another angle, it's a bit scary.
"What's the matter, Professor..." Jon bit his head and asked.
Professor Sprout said: "Your dancing partner is waiting for you in Minerva's office... The four warriors and their dancing partners must gather there first."
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Jon nodded, and walked to the second floor, Professor McGonagall's office.
