Chapter 27

Different from the warmth of Lovegood's small Christmas party, Hogwarts's Christmas party can only be described in one word: majestic!

There are just a hundred greasy roast turkeys, mounds of carbon roast beef and salt boiled potatoes, large plates of delicious sausages, bowls of green peas mixed with butter, plates of thick and fragrant meat brine and cranberry sauce. The rich dishes are mouth watering.

Every few steps along the table, there are a lot of magic colored bags of firecrackers waiting for you. These wonderful colored firecrackers are not like the shabby ordinary firecrackers usually bought by Muggle families - there are only some small plastic toys and weak paper hats.

Harry and Fred smoked a colorful firecracker together. It didn't make a dull sound, but made a sound like cannon bombing, swallowed them all in a blue smoke, and blew out a rear admiral's hat and several lively white mice.

Dumbledore at the host changed into a lace hat from nowhere, decorated with a cluster of brightly colored flowers. He is now immersed in Professor flavy's little joke, laughing happily!

After the main meal, there is a red Christmas pudding like a flame, in which someone occasionally eats some crescent shaped silver pieces. Percy won the prize - he nearly broke his neat front teeth.

"Albus, look at those Christmas trees. These are the little gifts Mr. McLean left for us before he left." Professor McGonagall patted Dumbledore on the elbow. She giggled and lost her usual stern look.

"Oh, yes, what a nice boy," Dumbledore said happily, nodding at the festive Christmas trees.

Professor flavy echoed Professor McGonagall's words and showed Dumbledore all the small decorations made by Marca. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with Marca, an excellent student.

Snape, who sat next to him, was still indifferent on this day of celebration. He looked at the Christmas trees shrouded in white fog and didn't know what he was thinking.

Just when everyone was in high spirits, owls flew in with all kinds of packages from outside the auditorium and scattered in all directions.

"What's the matter?"

Even professors don't know why owls fly in at this time. Only Dumbledore looked at the scene with a smile and a look of relief on his face.

Before long, everyone who received the package understood that it was a Christmas gift from Marca McLean.

"When did he learn the trick of the Weasley brothers?" snape said coldly, but he didn't want a small package to fall right in front of him.

Snape frowned and tore open the layers of the sealed package, but looked at what was inside - it was a bottle of blessing.

Each successful preparation of Fuling agent usually produces only a small amount of one little finger. The preparation process is extremely complex, and its average preparation often takes half a year.

Maka got a lot of inspiration from the discussion with Snape, and shortened the preparation time to two months, but at the cost of a sharp decline in the effect.

This Christmas, Maka spent a lot of jingaron and bought this bottle of complete effect blessing agent from his partner as a Christmas gift to Snape. This is Marca's sincere thanks to Snape for his tireless guidance.

The gift that Maka prepared for Luna took the longest time; The gift of Snape is undoubtedly the most expensive one.

Snape pulled out the cork, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and then silently plugged it back.

"Severus, am I right?" Dumbledore said to Snape with a smile.

Snape drew a corner of his mouth and replied expressionless, "it's just that he can spend money."

Not to mention the situation at the host and guest table, the following students also received gifts from Maka.

Take Hermione for example. She is holding a cartoon lion puppet in her arms with a smile and reading a small note left by Maka - this puppet has sleeping flower seeds, which can improve the quality of sleep. She should know how to rest after studying hard.

Ron got the latest set of wizard chess - this is Maka's deformation exercise. Different from ordinary wizard chess, this set of wizard chess is a board game played by various powerful magical creatures and various wizards. It looks quite cool.

But Harry found that the gift he got seemed to be the strangest of the three!

"What's this? Brain closure?" Harry looked at a notebook removed from the package and read the words on the cover word by word.

"Brain sealing?" Hermione said curiously. "What's that?"

Harry flipped through the contents, but found that it was actually a note in Marca's handwriting. The theory recorded in it was so complex that he felt a little dizzy.

"Show me," Hermione grabbed it and looked carefully.

While Hermione looked down and studied the notebook, Ron and Harry guessed from time to time.

"Marca wants you to learn this... Brain... Secretory art, right?" said Ron. "What's that for?"

Harry shook his head. How did he know what it was? I don't think I've ever heard of it.

"Do you want to learn?" Ron said again. "Marca asked you to learn. That should be right."

It seems that Marca's previous guess is correct. Ron won't be angry with him for more than three days.

"Well, find out what it is first?" said Harry, looking at Hermione again with Ron.

After a while, Hermione looked up and began to speak with a little doubt.

"According to Maka's description on the previous pages, this magic called 'brain closure' is a defensive magic used to resist the infiltration of foreign spirits and prevent others from reading the user's thoughts." Hermione said, "it says that it has a strong resistance to a magic spell called 'taking God and mind'."

"But what's the use? Does anyone want to read my thoughts?" Harry said in confusion.

"Who knows? I'm afraid it's only to ask Maka himself." Hermione was also puzzled.

Only Ron didn't pay much attention to this. He smiled and said, "Marca said to let you learn. He can't be wrong."

Just as Gryffindor's trio was talking about it, a student on master Slytherin's desk nearby received a gift from Maka.

"Little nerd brova has a share? What's the situation?" the little snakes were talking, but no one wanted to talk to her.

The one who received the gift was the mysterious girl with a very low sense of presence in the school - Willie brova.

Willie opened the package without expression, took out the gift and laid it flat on the table. What she got was also a notebook, which looked thicker, bigger and stronger.

She opened her notes and recorded the botanical history, ecological distribution, cultivation methods and application value of a variety of plants in a neat and concise style. Obviously, Marca also spent some time on this gift - he copied a copy of his notes and gave it to Willie.

At the back of this notebook, there are more than half of the vacancies, which obviously allows Willie, who is not good at summarizing, to continue recording in this format.

Willie caressed the cover of the notebook carefully. Although there was still no emotion on her face, it was enough to let people know that she really loved this intimate gift.

"Thank you." Willie's voice was so low that she couldn't hear herself, but it was still the first time she said a word of thanks. Unfortunately, Marca didn't know.

There are too many doubts about this girl who is full of secrets. Her feelings are poor to frightening, her words are rare to confusing, and her appearance is exquisite to make people feel inhuman. All kinds of signs show that she hides too many secrets, but no one knows the truth.

This, I'm afraid, is the reason why Maka is interested in her.

Now, the mysterious girl shows a gap in emotional expression for the first time, but Maka is still in the distant Lovegood home.

This must be said to be a pity.

When everyone focused again on the table, everything just faded and melted into the hot Christmas atmosphere again.

It was not until everyone had a crazy afternoon after dinner that the seemingly calm but turbulent night would come.

This is the most wonderful Christmas of Harry's life. But the thing that lingered in his mind and dissipated for a long time came back after he lay in bed.

He was thinking about the mysterious Christmas gift early this morning - the invisibility cloak, and the unknown person who gave it to him.

Giving Christmas gifts at a party like Marca is just a special case. Generally speaking, you will always find them from the fireplace or bedside when you wake up on Christmas day.

Harry didn't expect to receive gifts this morning, but when he woke up, he found that he had received quite a lot of Christmas gifts. One of the most surprising was a invisibility cloak given to him by an unsigned person.

There was a note inside, which said: your father left this thing to me before he died and should return it to you now. Use it well. I sincerely wish you a merry Christmas.

The beautiful fancy characters looked pleasing to the eye, but the content made Harry tangle almost all day.

At this time, Ron was stuffed with Turkey and cake, and nothing strange bothered him, so he almost fell asleep as soon as he put down the bed curtain. The speed of falling asleep made Harry a little jealous.

Harry tossed and turned on the bed. After all, he leaned out of the bed and pulled out the invisibility cloak under the bed.
