The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 420 Suspicious Christmas Gift

On Christmas Day, the sky was not clear, it had been snowing overnight, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The room was very dark, and the heavy curtains blocked the cold air seeping through the gaps in the windows, as well as the light outside. There was a book on the desk that I read last night, and Albert was still sleeping.

Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the corridor, and Nia, who was in her pajamas, came to find Albert early in the morning to question her, because she did not receive a Christmas gift from Albert this year, which made Nia very upset Unhappy, I have been wringing my face since I woke up in the morning.

The fat cat named Tom got in as soon as the door was opened, and seemed to sense something, looking up at the birdcage hanging by the window.

In the birdcage, Sheila shook her head and stared at the uninvited fat cat. It raised its paw, hit the bird peck, and stared at Tom with malicious eyes.

"Enter Tom!"

Nia raised her finger to Albert's bed, as if closing the door to release Tom.

The fat cat charged forward and jumped towards Albert on the bed. He didn't know if it was too fat or for other reasons, but he couldn't jump up and almost hit the edge of the bed.

Sheila, who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, made a cooing sound, as if mocking Tom.

"Stupid Tom!"

Nia bent down and picked Tom up and placed him next to Albert's bed. Tom started rubbing his tail against Albert's face, and quickly woke up the person on the bed.

"Stop messing around with Tom." Albert said sleepily. When he opened his eyes, he saw Nia with her hands on her waist, looking down at him with a straight face.

"Christmas gift?"

"I thought you had forgotten!" The girl couldn't help complaining.

"How can I forget, and put on the clothes first, it will be bad if I catch a cold!"

Albert casually took a coat from the hanger, and raised his head to mess up Nia's hair when he put it on Nia's body. Under Nia's dissatisfied gaze, he opened a box, took out a woolen scarf and handed it over to Nia. To Nia.

"How many scarves did you buy?" Nia found that the style of the scarf was not bad, but there were several scarves in the box, which made him a little dissatisfied.

"Bought them for the whole family." Albert said with a smile, "Grandpa Luke and Grandma Shanna asked Shira to send them yesterday."

"Oh!"

Although there was a little deviation from expectations, the girl's mood improved a lot after receiving the Christmas gift.

"Don't fight, or your snacks will be deducted."

Albert turned his head and said to the two pets who were about to stand on the table.

Tom jumped down from the table as soon as he heard that he wanted to deduct the snacks, and began to rub Albert's feet, begging for snacks, while Sheila looked at the fat cat with disdain, and let out a cooing sound again.

"Okay, I'll give it to you later."

Albert bent down and hugged Tom, looked at Nia with a smile and said, "Have you prepared my Christmas present yet?"

"Of course." The girl puffed out her chest proudly, "I'll bring it to you later."

"Go back and change your clothes. If you catch a cold, it won't be good." Albert reached out to rub Nia's hair again, but the other party managed to avoid it.

"Damn, don't mess with my hair."

Nia disappeared in a flash.

When Albert got dressed and went downstairs, he found that there were piles of gifts beside the Christmas tree, which made him stunned.

"Son, I just found out that you are so popular in school." Herb smiled and put on the scarf Albert had just given him, "I woke up this morning and found a bunch of Christmas presents for you .”

"Ah."

Albert responded casually, and he found the gift from Daisy and Herb from the pile of packages, which was a beautiful brown wool sweater and brown wool socks.

He took off his coat and gestured to put it on for himself.

"It looks fine."

Daisy said with satisfaction.

"It doesn't matter who picked the gift." Herb said proudly.

"You picked wool socks," reminded Daisy.

"You are my wife."

Herb was not embarrassed either. He kissed Daisy on the cheek, tied the scarf on her with a smile and said, "Albert chose a good scarf. I bet he must have bought the same style for our family."

Albert ignored the loving couple who showed their love early in the morning, and buried himself in unwrapping his Christmas presents.

Grandpa Luke and Grandma Shanna gave him a copy of the latest "Economic Treatise" and the best-selling novel "Verod the Odd".

Isobel gave a pair of woolen gloves.

Well, it was a gift they bought in Hogsmeade before Christmas break, and the two sides gave each other the same style of woolen gloves.

Hermione gave Albert a box of sugar-free chocolates and a greeting card, thanking Albert for her help.

Of course Albert knew what Hermione meant by help.

The Weasley twins gave Albert a book called "Twelve Ways to Win a Witch", which is undoubtedly for picking up girls. It's hard to say whether it's useful or not, after all, the two haven't found a girlfriend yet .

Lee Jordan's gift is the usual cocoa multi-flavored beans. I don't know how long a large box can last him.

Truman also gave the book.

In addition, he also received a bunch of greeting cards.

The remaining books and notes were basically gifts from old friends who kept in touch. Albert was surprised to find that he also received a gift from Nicole Flamel, which was a double-sided mirror.

"Why does everyone like to give you books?"

Nia looked at a pile of books and notes, opened her mouth in surprise, and finally couldn't help but ask.

There is no way, the books in the unpacked package can already be piled up into a hill.

Nia's eyes were very sharp, and she immediately noticed "Twelve Ways to Conquer Witches", and her complexion suddenly changed.

"Where's my gift?" Albert asked.

"Give!"

Seeing the new gloves on Albert's hands, Nia handed over the gift with a little displeasure. They were also a pair of gloves, well, they were the same style as the pair in Nia's hands, and the color was brighter light brown .

"I like it very much!" Albert took off the gloves and put them back on for himself.

Seeing this scene, Nia showed a satisfied smile, and when she was thinking about how to destroy the book "Twelve Ways to Conquer Witches", she discovered that Herb was already flipping through the book.

"is that useful?"

Daisy put the fried steak on the table, looked at Herb and asked.

"It's really interesting." Herb said with a smile, "However, I suspect that our son doesn't need this thing."

"Have you found a girlfriend?" Daisy asked bluntly.She felt that Albert should find a witch girlfriend.

When Nia heard this, she pursed her lips and stared at Albert, waiting for his answer.

"I plan to look for it in two years." Albert said without thinking.

"If you see something you like, hurry up and don't let people preempt you." Herb said with a smile, "If you don't have any money, I'll give you an advance payment, and this book is good, read it when you have time, I miss you I should find one over there. There are only so many wizards there, so there are definitely not many to choose from. Remember to act first if you like it. After all, you are so good, you can easily hook up with the other party."

Albert was at a loss for words, and he didn't expect Herb and Daisy to have such an attitude. He had indeed hooked up with one.

Of course, he wasn't going to tell his family about it.If he admits that he has a girlfriend, the house will probably explode in place. Herb and Daisy will definitely ask him for a photo, or ask him to invite each other to play at home.

"Albert is so good, you don't need to worry about this kind of problem at all, and even if you can't find a suitable one, it's good to choose one from our side." Nia said angrily, "Also, this It’s best not to look at such a mess, it will teach people badly.”

Nia directly confiscated "The Twelve Magical Weapons That Fascinate Witches".

Herb didn't care too much, he was very confident in his son, if he really wanted to find a girlfriend, it would definitely not be difficult, after all he was so good, there were a lot of people chasing after him.

"In two days, I'm going to buy you a bookshelf. Judging by your posture, I guess there won't be enough bookshelves in your room before you graduate from study." He said, looking at the books piled on the coffee table.

"Well, I really need to buy another one."

Albert sorted out the books, and was immediately speechless. Although he really liked reading, he felt helpless when he received a pile of books.

He doesn't want to be like Dumbledore in the future: "People insist on sending me books."

After unpacking a bunch of presents, Albert's hand suddenly froze, because he found that the sender of the package was actually Snape?
Snape actually gave himself a Christmas present, is this candy falling from the sky?
There are many professors at Hogwarts who have a good relationship with Albert, and they will also give Albert Christmas gifts. For example, Professor McGonagall gave Albert a notebook about the transformation of Animagus this year.

But Albert never received the gift from Snape.

"Do you want to open it?"

Albert hesitated for a while, but finally gave up. He felt that there might not be any good things in it. After all, he made Snape famous a few days ago, and said that the other party did not hold grudges, and Albert would not believe it even if he killed him.

In addition, there was a package that did not write the sender. No matter how you looked at it, it was suspicious. Albert finally gave up opening these two packages and planned to go back to school to find other people to share the items in the package.
