The three of them returned to the common room, and Hermione seemed particularly silent, but she had made up her mind to tell Professor McGonagall about the fire.

Harry received a brand new fire crossbow this morning. She has heard Harry talk about the name of this broom more than once. The fire crossbow is known as the "fastest broom in the world". It has no mass production and no quotation. Just thinking about it can guess how exaggerated the price is.

Harry described more than once that he had been practicing special training in Diagon Alley, and he watched the charming curves of the fireboat outside the window of the Quidditch boutique with Professor Hayp - this is already one of Harry's spiritual sustenance for surviving the special training.

But Hermione believes that Harry and Ron are not aware of the danger at all. The broom is likely sent by some dark wizard anonymously, hiding an unknown curse. Especially after being tampered with by Kilow in the first grade, she couldn't understand why Harry was so careless?

‘What if it was sent by Sirius Black?’

It was not until Harry took the initiative to talk about the weird gifts given by Professor Hepp that Hermione joined the conversation, "The professor gave you a dementor?"

"It's a dementor doll!" Harry stressed, "It's exactly the same as it is, the cold and bad memories that suddenly surge into his heart..." He trembled.

"Didn't you look at the cards inside? Maybe there will be instructions on it." Hermione guessed, but she really couldn't think of what it was for.

Harry shook his head, "I just opened it and looked at it, and then quickly closed the box... To be honest, I want to change it with Ron." He looked at Ron, and Ron smiled, "Professor Happ gave me a complete set of comic strips."

Harry couldn't help asking Hermione, "What gift does the professor give you?"

Hermione said: "It's a chestnut memory disk."

"Li Mu...what?" Harry said in a daze.

"It's hard to describe it in words. Wait, I'll show you. Also, Harry, take your dementor doll over and let's study it together. The professor must have his own intention."

After a minute, they got together again.

Harry looked at Limu Memory Plate in a daze, "Is this... a craft plate? I've seen something similar at the Dursley family, and they give it to important customers."

"Oh, of course not. I will demonstrate it to you. Professor Hayp hopes I can give you more opinions... It may appear in the classroom next semester." Hermione said, and she knocked on the chestnut wooden plate with her magic wand. The complex magic text patterns were lit up, and the fine silver sand condensed into clouds. Hermione closed her eyes and recalled carefully, then poked her fingers to point them on the clouds.

The fine sand fell down, and the familiar three-dimensional image appeared in front of Harry and Ron.

"Merlin's beard, this is - we are in the secret room, in the secret room..." Ron's eyes widened.

"It is the reappearance of our past memories." Hermione whispered.

Harry was also brought back a year ago by the scene in the cherry wooden plate, but it was the first time he looked at that experience from another perspective. He couldn't help but ask Hermione: "I just jumped like that?" He measured it. The Slytherin statue was almost five or six of him. If he jumped in a crooked way, he would fall and die by himself without waiting for the tail of the basil monster to sweep over and then be eaten by the basil monster in one bite.

"We are all brave," Ron looked at the "self" who clumsily seduced the basilisk and said to Hermione uneasy, "That, Hermione-can I try it?" This was the first time he called Hermione after the argument outside Hagrid's cottage.

Hermione pursed her lips, "Of course. You can choose another memory, that is, the effect will be better if you have a deep impression on you."

Harry was glad they started talking again, because according to his experience, Ron and Hermione had to have a cold war for a day or two.

"Let me think about it, it's impressive..." Ron muttered, his magic wand hit the edge of the chestnut plate, and soon, a new three-dimensional picture appeared - the background was quite blurry, and a car could be seen vaguely crashing straight into a tall tree, which was a willow to hit people.

The branches of the willows danced wildly, sucking on the car, like a storm, endlessly like a storm. The car barely rushed out, making two muffled sounds, the door suddenly bounced open, and the salute and two people were slammed - Harry and Ron.

"Except for the secret room, this may be the experience that makes me feel like I'm going to be finished the most." Ron looked at the villain on the plate, "but there are still many blurs. I can't remember the car's appearance. I hope it's all right in the Forbidden Forest."

Harry also tried it, "I happened to show you something, what Voldemort really looks like..."

A moment later, Ron and Hermione finally saw the scene where Harry faced Voldemort alone in the first grade - Quirrell lifted the garlic scarf, turned his back to Harry, revealing a dead white face, and under his evil red eyes were two slender nostrils like snakes.

Ron and Hermione gasped, and they grabbed Harry's arm nervously, one left and one right. Harry couldn't help but bare his teeth, "Hiss~" he complained: "When I told you last year, you weren't that exaggerating, right?"

"That's different, Harry. We just listened to your words at that time, but this time we saw the picture directly." Ron said tremblingly: "He, he is so scary. Isn't even a mysterious person without a nose?" The places he pays attention to are always strange.

Harry almost laughed out loud, and he quickly made himself serious and tried his best to say objectively: "Uh... he is really ugly. There was a time when I often had nightmares."

Then the three of them looked at the box in front of them, which was a gift from Professor Happ to Harry.

Ron couldn't help confirming: "Do you really want to open it? The expression you expressed when you opened it almost scared me to death." He explained to Hermione: "Imagine that you were happily dismantling the gift, and then seeing your companion suddenly fall from the bed, with a pale face..."

Harry glanced at Hermione, and Hermione nodded at him, "We must confirm it clearly."

Harry took a deep breath and opened the gift box-

At first glance, it was just a relatively delicate dementor doll, nothing strange, but the next second, a chill passed over the whole body, and the doll seemed to come alive, and the dementor's robe began to flutter. They even saw a picture of a gray rotten hand poking out from under the black robe, like a corpse that had been soaked in water for a long time...

Harry took advantage of his lack of suffocation and hurriedly closed the box. He panted and said, "You all saw it." Ron looked sad.

"Card." Hermione said suddenly.

"What?"

"Card, Harry, there is a card underneath the Dementor doll."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Harry was excited, "So, we can just endure it again and we can know why Professor Heip gave me this thing?" He actually suspected that Professor Heip was mocking him for being timid, but it was unlikely that he could think of it.

However, before confirming, he was still worried.

Hermione gave him a blank look, "I don't think so." She took the box and opened a gap slightly, just enough to accommodate her hand to reach in. She groped and explained, "The professor would never give a dangerous gift... there is!"

She successfully pulled a card from the box, and Harry and Ron looked at her blankly, "Hermione, you're so smart."

Hermione waved her hand, "Oh, I just—I just thought about it for a long time, it was you who were in a misunderstanding." She read the contents on the card-

"Harry, I heard that you asked Professor Lupin to learn the patron sacred spell, maybe this can help you.

Also: The doll is cast and as long as it does not look at it, it will not be affected."

She looked at the two of them: "There are only these contents above, and it has been explained very clearly."

"Wow, that's cool!" Ron said, "we can try again."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He nodded and opened the box. The chill came again, but he immediately closed his eyes, and the terrifying cold and wet feeling disappeared suddenly. He heard Ron's excited voice: "It's really useful! Just move your eyes away."

Harry opened his eyes and watched Ron turn his head back and forth, glance at the dementor doll, then quickly turn to the side and turn back... His appearance was so funny, Harry finally couldn't help laughing this time.

...

Malfoy Manor.

Draco Malfoy is dismantling his own gift. In the gift box with "Felix Heppy Draco Malfoy", there is a whole set of comic strips neatly stacked inside. He is no stranger to the name of comic strips - "The Adventures of the Little Wizard Micky". For a period of time, this book has also brought up a lot of topics.

His mother, Narcisa Malfoy, walked in, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, and Narcisa gently put her hands on Draco's shoulder, "Draco, we're going to have lunch, have your gift been removed, what did Pansy give you?"

Draco muttered: "A dress."

"Oh, our Draco is grown up." Narcisa said with a smile, her eyes falling on the book in Draco's hand: "Whose gift is this, a comic book... a comic book?"

"A professor in the school," said Draco, who took the opportunity to turn a page.

...

Longbottom's old house.

The old house rejuvenated, and the dull tapestries were cleaned up, revealing their original golden red. Almost every few steps you take, you will see a small Christmas tree with brightly colored ribbons hanging on it.

A round-faced boy is trying to hang small golden balls strung together on a Christmas tree.

"Nar, Nar!" Alice Longbottom called from a distance, "Your Uncle Algi and Aunt Inny are here."

"Horse, come here immediately, mom!" Neville responded. He stood on tiptoe and took more than ten seconds to finally hang the ball on the Christmas tree. A layer of fine beads of sweat had already emerged from the tip of his nose.

As he turned around, Alice was standing behind him and looking at him with a quiet look on his face.

"Mom--" Neville blushed, and he felt that his performance just now was a bit embarrassing.

At the dining table, a family of relatives sat together. They warmly celebrated the return of Frank and Alice. At halfway through the banquet, Uncle Algi, with a thin cheek and a goatee, shouted: "Okay! It's great!" He fucked two large glasses of high spirits, blushed as if he was on fire.

He looked at Neville: "Boy, I heard that you have made great progress recently, show your skills to the man!"

Neville shrank behind Alice with restraint. Alice patted his shoulder. Neville stood up and pulled out his magic wand. The tip of the wand suddenly flashed with red light, and a spell flew out.

"Silent curse!" Uncle Algi was shocked and almost fell from the chair. "Don't, Frank, don't help me - I don't have this ability at his age!"

Neville scratched his head and smiled silly.

...

Muggle World, London Villa District.

"Justin, it's eleven o'clock now, and the guests will come later, remember the excuse we discussed."

"I know~~~" said Justin, with curly hair, and he said unhappily: "The reason I didn't go to Eton is because I was in poor health and had to hire a tutor. Every year I had to go to a place with fresh air to relax... Mom, don't you think this excuse is too lame? Every year when they see me, I'm lively."

"Who made our family produce a little wizard? I can't go to Eton School. I'm even more disappointed than you, but-" Madame Fenreri blinked mischievously: "When the guests leave, tell me what happened when they were in school. I still can't believe that Lockhart is actually a liar, his books are so beautiful..."

Justin rolled his eyes invisibly.

...

Hogwarts, Felix walked out of the office, along the way, with the usual gorgeous Christmas decorations, with ribbons woven from holly and mistletoe pointing to the auditorium in the corridor, and the armor in the castle was polished and shiny.

He walked into the auditorium, and four long wooden tables were moved to the wall, leaving only a table in the middle of the room for more than a dozen people to dine. Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitvie all arrived. Felch also changed into an old tuxedo.

"Hope I'm not late," Felix said with a smile.

"Merry Christmas, Felix, I like the wool socks you gave you, there are twelve colors in total, I can wear them in a different way." Dumbledore said happily: "We are still waiting for the students to come. They may think it is still the usual time, but in fact they are slightly ahead of schedule-"

"To pass the time, we are taking turns telling jokes, it's Severus' turn."
