Chapter 70： Christmas gifts

"The idea is feasible." Felix saw more possibilities from this simple attempt. He felt that by working hard, he could be like a statue of a sleeping guard in a castle.

However, he doesn't think he can complete a magical creation similar to a sorting hat or a diary.

The latter is okay to say, after all, it is a Horcrux, with a piece of Voldemort's soul hidden inside, but what about the Sorting Hat? Its predecessor was just a Gryffindor hat, not something specially built for the branch.

According to Felix’s imagination, it is possible that the four founders questioned each other’s "talent selection plan" during a shared afternoon tea. In order to resolve their differences, they decided to use "wisdom magical creations" to divide the hospital.

So the Sorting Hat was born. The Sorting Hat has been around for thousands of years. It can communicate with people and has its own memory and character. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a real life.

This reminds him of magical portraits that can also communicate with people.

Some simple portraits, such as Sir Cadogan in the castle, his wisdom is extremely simple, unable to carry out complex and structured dialogue.

The result of Felix's temptation in school is that the bragging jazz can only give seven kinds of effective feedback, such as bragging about his brilliant record or issuing a duel invitation.

Some of the portraits are magical enough-they can interact with the outside world in complex, and they still retain a lot of memory.

As far as he knows, the portraits of the principals in the Hogwarts office, as well as the portraits of the ancestors of some pure-blood families, fall into this category.

This is because the owner of the portrait has injected a lot of memory and magic into this, so that the portraits left by them still maintain a similar character to the original owner, but they are only similar. They are not real lives.

The biggest difference is that the character of the portraits will not change over time, and they are always fixed at the moment they are made, just like a complex interactive program.

This is fundamentally different from the Sorting Hat...

"The sorting hat definitely hides a bigger secret!"

……

The dawn of Christmas has arrived, and Felix comes out of the bedroom neatly. Under the small Christmas tree in the corner of the office, a large number of Christmas gifts of various shapes are piled up.

After a rough calculation, there are almost hundreds of pieces.

Moreover, there are still many packages on the way. During the period of time he was making tea, three owls flew into the house from the window he deliberately left last night. One of them obviously flew a long distance, holding a hand-sized exquisite gift box in his mouth, and slumped tiredly on the table in front of him.

Felix had to feed it a few drops of potion, and its condition was much better.

This brown owl ate a few small biscuits, jumped to him, pecked his finger with a pointed beak, "Are you asking me to open the package?"

Owl looked at him, tilted his head, and stretched out a paw at him, where a small metal cylinder was tied.

Felix opened the cylinder and drew a rolled up note from inside——

"Dear Mr. Felix Haipu, my wolf poison potion has been finalized. Just when the "Bai Xian" flew to you, I have submitted the official formula to the Ministry of Magic. If nothing happens, I will I recently won a Merlin Medal-at least Grade 2! I hope you can come and watch the ceremony. A bottle of the latest wolf poison potion is enclosed with the letter. Please appreciate it."

The signature is Moklis Bellby.

Felix quickly wrote on it, "It is a great honor. Please inform me immediately after the date is set. I will participate on time. Also: Your Merlin Medal is well-deserved."

He put the note back into the metal cylinder, "Thanks for your hard work, Bai Xian." The owl drank some water, spread its wings and left.

Felix opened the exquisite gift box. There was a bottle of potion in it. He opened the lid and sniffed it lightly. "Well, it still smells so bad, shouldn't he consider adding some sugar? Or is it that making potions smell bad? The quirks of all the magic masters?"

He put the potion into the ring studded with emeralds on his left hand, and then began to open the present enthusiastically.

has a considerable part of his book powder and pen pals, mainly greeting cards. Felix sorted them out and put them aside for now. The rest were gifts from the professors and students at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore sent a private alchemy manuscript, his personal experience on alchemy. What Felix gave to the principal was a Muggle book called "99 Inventions That Changed the World" with a pair of wool socks embroidered with red lions.

Professor McGonagall gave a book called "The Quidditch Teams in Britain and Ireland", which introduces the Quidditch teams in England and the various honors they have won. It also contains a lot of Quidditch technical moves. illustration.

It seemed that she wanted to pull Felix into the Quidditch club.

Hagrid gave him a self-made short dagger. The workmanship was rather rough, but the material was very special—it was the horn of a unicorn.

"Shit." Felix smacked, not knowing what to say.

Professor Flitwick sent a copy of ancient magic materials and invited him to have time to discuss relevant content with him, Felix happily wrote back.

Professor Snape’s gift was a thumb-sized transparent bottle containing about one milliliter of transparent liquid.

"It's a powerful Veritaserum drug, you really belong to you, Professor." He said happily, "I hope you will like my gift." What he gave Snape was a set of Muggle schoolchildren’s laboratory equipment, including measuring cups. , Balance and dropper, etc.

He also intimately matched a "Code of Conduct for Chemical Experiments (Children's Edition, which contains a large number of pictures, not afraid that the professor will not understand it.

Many little wizards from Hogwarts also gave him giftsHis assistant Miss Granger gave him a dark green knitted scarf, Potter gave a big bag of chocolates, Ron Weiss Lai gave a box of Zizi Bee Candy.

The most interesting is the gift given by the twins. It is two wooden couple dolls hugging each other. They look rougher than Hagrid’s short dagger-the facial features are painted on, Felix follows the instructions He knocked on the male doll's head, and he screamed in pain, and then the two dolls tremblingly danced with zombie dance.

Although the twins introduced it as a kind of "waltz" of small African countries, they were ignored by Felix.

In addition, some little wizards who have not met several times also sent gifts, such as Justin Finley, who gave a gorgeous quill pen with multiple functions.

It took an hour for Felix to finish writing letters and returning gifts.

He walked into the auditorium, and there were scattered little wizards sitting on four long tables.

More than a dozen silver frost-covered Christmas trees were hung with all kinds of novel and interesting gadgets, and ribbons composed of mistletoe and holly hung from the ceiling, and the enchanted snow was spilled.

Professor McGonagall and several professors are busy decorating the auditorium.

"Need help?" he asked.

Professor McGonagall straightened up, "Oh, no, almost done." She waved her magic wand, hung a long colorful ribbon on the Christmas tree, turned around and said to him, "I like your gift, Felic S."

Felix smiled. What he gave to Professor McGonagall was a half-human magic puppet with a dozen complex circuits built in, which gave it two forms-in addition to the human form itself, it can also be transformed into one. A mighty lion.
