Chapter 70 Christmas Presents

"Thoughts of thought are feasible." Felix saw more possibilities from this simple attempt. He felt that he could do his best to the extent of sleeping guard statues in the castle.

However, he did not think he could complete a magical creation similar to a branch hat or a diary.

The latter is okay, after all, it is a Horcrux, which hides Voldemort's soul, but what about the branch hat? Its predecessor is just a hat from Gryffindor, not something specially created for the branch.

According to Felix's imagination, the four founders may have questioned each other's "talent selection plan" when they shared afternoon tea. In order to resolve their differences, they decided to use "intelligent magical creation" to conduct the branch office.

So the branch hat was born. The branch hat has been around for thousands of years and has always existed. It can communicate with people and have its own memories and personality. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a real life.

This reminded him of magical portraits that could also communicate with people.

Some simple portraits, such as Sir Cardogan in the castle, have extremely simple wisdom and are unable to engage in complex and organized dialogues.

The result of Felix's temptation when he was in school was that the bragging jazz could only provide seven effective feedback, such as boasting about his brilliant achievements or sending out duel invitations.

Some of the portraits are magical enough - they can interact with the outside world in complex ways and retain a lot of memories themselves.

As far as he knows, portraits of past principals in the office of Hogwarts and portraits of ancestors of some pure blood families are all in this category.

This is because the owner of the portrait injected a lot of memory and magic into it, so that the portraits they left still maintain a similar personality to the original owner, but they are just similar, and they are not real lives.

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

This is essentially different from the branch hat...

"The sequencing hat definitely hides a bigger secret!"

...

Christmas dawn has arrived, and Felix is ​​dressed neatly and comes out of the bedroom. Under the small Christmas tree in a corner of the office, there are a large number of Christmas gifts of various shapes.

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

Moreover, there were many packages on the way. During the period when he was making tea, three owls flew into the room from the window he deliberately left last night. One of them obviously flew a long distance, holding a delicate gift box the size of a palm in his mouth, and slumped on the table in front of him exhausted.

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

After eating a few small cookies, the brown owl jumped to him and pecked his fingers with his pointed beak, "Did you ask me to open the package?"

The owl looked at him, tilted his head, and stretched out a claw at him, with a small metal cylinder tied there.

Felix opened the cylinder and pulled out a rolled note from it—

"Dear Mr. Felix Hepp, my wolf poison potion has been finalized. Just when the 'Baixian' flew to you, I have submitted a formal recipe to the Ministry of Magic. If nothing unexpected happens, I will receive a Medal of the Merlin Order in the near future - at least level 2! I hope you can come to watch the ceremony. I will accompany you to the letter to give you a bottle of the latest wolf poison potion, please enjoy it."

The signature is Mockles Belby.

Felix quickly wrote on it, "I am honored. Please notify me immediately after the date is drawn up, and I will participate on time. Also: Your Merlin Medal is well deserved."

He put the note back into the metal cylinder, "Thank you for your hard work, white fresh." The owl drank some water and spread his wings and left.

Felix opened the exquisite gift box, which was a bottle of potion. He opened the lid and sniffed it gently, "Well, it still smells so bad, can't he consider adding some sugar? Or is it a quirk of all the magic masters?"

He put the potion into the ring with emeralds on his left hand, and then began to unpack the gift with great enthusiasm.

A considerable portion of them came from his book fans and pen pals, mainly greeting cards. Felix sorted them out and put them aside for the time being, and the rest were gifts from Hogwarts professors and students.

Dumbledore gave a private alchemy manuscript, which was his personal experience in alchemy. Felix gave the principal a Muggle book called "99 Inventions That Change the World", paired with a pair of long wool socks embroidered with a red lion.

Professor McGonagall gave a book called "Quidditch in Britain and Ireland", which introduces the Quidditch team in Britain and the various honors they have received, and also contains a large number of Quidditch technical action illustrations.

It seemed that she wanted to pull Felix into the circle of Quidditch fellows.

Hagrid gave him a homemade short dagger, which was quite rough in workmanship, but the material was very special - it was the horns of a unicorn.

"Tsk." Felix smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

Professor Flivi sent a document on ancient magic and invited him to have time to discuss relevant content with him. Felix readily replied.

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

"It's a powerful real-life agent, you really have it, professor." He said happily, "I hope you will like my gift." What he gave Snape was a set of experimental equipment for Muggle elementary school students, including measuring cups, balances and droppers.

He also thoughtfully matched a book called "Code of Conduct for Chemical Experiment (Children's Edition)", which contains a large number of pictures, so he is not afraid that the professor will not understand it.

Many little wizards in Hogwarts also gave him gifts. His assistant Miss Granger gave him a dark green knitted scarf, Porter gave him a large bag of chocolates, and Ron Weasley gave him a box of sizzling bee candy.

The most interesting thing is the gift given by the twins, which were two wooden couple dolls hugging each other, which looked rougher than Hagrid's short dagger - the facial features on their faces were painted. Felix knocked the male doll's head according to the instructions, and he screamed in pain, and then the two dolls trembled and danced a zombie dance.

Although the twins introduced that this was a "wadstone" from a small African country, Felix directly ignored it.

In addition, some young wizards who had never met several times also sent gifts, such as Justin Finlieri, who gave a gorgeous quill that contained a variety of functions.

It took Felix an hour to complete the work of writing letters and returning gifts.

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

A dozen Christmas trees covered with silver frost were hung with all kinds of novel and interesting gadgets. The ceiling was covered with bands made of mistletoe and holly, and magically scattered snow.

Professor McGonagall and several professors are busy decorating the auditorium.

"Do you need help?" he asked.

Professor McGonagall straightened up and said, "Oh, no, it's almost done." She waved her wand, hung a long colorful ribbon on the Christmas tree, turned to him and said, "I love your gift, Felix."
