Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 58: A Happy Funeral

Ted received a socially fatal mission, but he didn't expect that he had to prepare the mission props himself. It's outrageous! Even capitalists are not as good at exploitation as you!

Ted was about to get up and prepare his "Santa Claus suit" when he suddenly found many gift boxes of different sizes at the foot of the bed.

Ah, the system was interrupted and I almost forgot my Christmas present.

I picked up one first, and unexpectedly it was a Christmas gift from Ron's mother, Molly Weasley.

Ron had previously written a letter home, telling his family about what had happened to Ted and Jerry.

At that time, Molly said that the two poor little ones were so pitiful and they were welcome to come to her house and play anytime.

I didn't expect that there would be gifts prepared for Christmas.

Ted opened it and saw a white striped sweater with a big "T" on the chest.

Ted tried it on and found it fitted him nicely and was warm, thanks to Mrs. Molly.

Later he learned that Mrs. Molly also gave Jerry a sweater, a yellow striped sweater with the letter J on it.

I gave Harry and Neville a big box of homemade lactose. Harry later said it tasted really nice.
Coincidentally, the gift Ron gave to Ted was his mother's homemade candy.
Oh, by the way, Hermione didn't receive any gift from Mrs. Molly.

Ted himself gave Ron a box of Muggle candies of various colors, from gummies to fruit candies, there were more than twenty varieties. He definitely had never eaten them.

He also gave George and Fred a book of Muggle jokes. They were considered one brother.

Ted opened the gift boxes one by one and filled the bed with them. In total:
Neville gave me a book from the Longbottom family called "16th Century Wizard Legends", which records the legendary stories of more than a dozen wizards.

Coincidentally, Ted also gave Neville a book, but it was handwritten by himself - "Brave Heart".

The protagonist is the blacksmith Wallace. It tells the story of how his wife was persecuted to death by the lord, so he stood up against tyranny and finally died heroically.

Ted also wrote a sentence on the title page: When you have something to protect, you will become brave.

The movie "Brave Heart" will not be released for another four years, if this movie still exists in the world.

What he didn't know was that Neville was so excited that he cried after reading the book.

His grandmother, Lady Augusta, asked him what was wrong, and then saw the handwritten book. She said, "If I have a chance, I will thank this child in person."

Hermione's Christmas present was a magical self-refilling pen.

Ted smiled as he held the royal blue pen. No wonder Hermione had been secretly thinking about something before the holiday. It turned out that she was trying to cast a spell on the pen.

On the eve of the holiday, they signed the Ministry of Magic's "Holiday Abuse of Magic Ordinance".

After signing this document, a trace will be placed on the wand, and if anyone casts magic nearby, the Ministry of Magic will notice it.

Later, after school started, Ron found out that Hermione had given Ted a pen as a Christmas present. He was very confused and comforted him: "Don't be sad, Ted. I believe Hermione didn't mean it."

In Ron's impression, this kind of gift is really terrible~
Hermione immediately got angry, "Don't talk nonsense, that pen is very good, Ted doesn't like candy!"

In fact, the gifts Hermione gave to other friends were almost all candies.

A big box of chocolate frogs for Harry, a liquorice wand for Ron, a chocolate cauldron cake for Neville, and super bubble gum for Jerry.

What Ted gave Hermione was a small notebook containing the spells he "invented" - Arcane Wisdom.

What could be a more suitable gift for Hermione than to increase her wisdom?
The gift Harry gave was a book called "The Complete Collection of Evil Curses", which was said to be a collection of books from the Black family and was once loved by her godfather Sirius Black - it was used to learn how to deal with Snape~
And what Ted gave Harry was a magic timer clock, a brass-cased mechanical alarm clock that he bought for 3 pounds. It cast a little magic that allowed it to run around to avoid attacks when it rang.

Because Ted heard that Harley always overslept~
Jerry gave a thick cape, which was said to be sewn by his mother.

Ted's gift was a huge box of Italian cheese, as big as a human head!

In addition, Ted also received a gift from Mr. Slug, a book called "Potion Tips", and a book called "Wizard Adventure Stories" from Old Tom of the Leaky Cauldron.

The fact that people he had been with remembered him and gave him gifts showed that Ted was a very successful person.

Ted gave Mr. Slug a return gift of his own scabies potion, and wrote a letter to thank him for his two months of instruction, which had laid a solid foundation for him in potions.

Otherwise, Snape will bully me to death!

The gift for Old Tom was a small bottle of whiskey with a strong proof, hoping that he would not drink too much.

In addition, Ted also gave a blue feather pen as a gift to old Tom's granddaughter, Hannah, the Iron Hat King.

What surprised him was seeing Professor McGonagall's gift.

And there were two of them, one was a new wizard robe. Ted looked at the second-hand ones he was wearing, and although they were worn out, he had clearly chosen a larger size when he bought them, but he didn't expect that they would become a bit tight after just a few months.

I am growing up a little fast!

Professor McGonagall's gift was thoughtful.

In addition, there is a book - "Quidditch Technical Analysis"? !

Ted thought about it, maybe Professor McGonagall saw that his flying skills were pretty good and wanted to cultivate his interest in Quidditch? That would be disappointing for her.

Speaking of which, without the savior, the Gryffindor Quidditch team is no match for the unscrupulous Slytherins.

Fortunately, Ted had not forgotten the kindness of Professor McGonagall who took him out of the orphanage. Besides, he had rubbed her twice to complete the task, so he also prepared a gift - an off-white wool scarf.

Ted also considered giving Professor McGonagall a cardboard box, maybe she would like it very much!

But he didn't dare to do so because he was worried about being turned into an animal and imprisoned in the forbidden forest.

Ted also gave his headmaster a gift - a silver chain monocle found at a Muggle flea market.

He even gave Snape a gift, but he didn't know if he liked it.

In addition, Ted also remitted £50 to the orphanage through Ansu, which caused great harm to his pocket money.

Ted: Don't you think there can't be a few nuggets of gold left in Lady Ravenclaw's estate?

After dealing with the gifts, it was almost nine o'clock, and Ted hurried to look for his Christmas suit.

If you want to find some daily necessities at Hogwarts, then you can look for elves.

Ted came to the kitchen, "Excuse me, which gentleman can help me with something?"

As soon as he entered the room, five or six house-elves looked at him. Before he could finish his sentence, he was surrounded by seven or eight elves.

"Me! Me me!"

"Pick me! Pick me! Mr. Epiphany!"

"I can get Mr. Epiphany anything. Anything!"

"I can find twice as much as you can!"

……

Ted didn't expect to be so popular.

"Don't worry. It's nothing weird. I just want to dress up as Santa Claus to bring some festive atmosphere to the castle. I need clothes, a hat and a beard. After all, today is Christmas!"

He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. This is your Christmas present. I bought candies of different flavors from the Muggle world. Please have a taste!"

When the elves heard that Ted had prepared Christmas gifts for them, and that they were candies bought from the Muggle world, their big eyes immediately began to "water"!

"Oh, come on, let's try the candy first, okay? Don't cry, please!" Ted begged.

Soon, the castle kitchen was filled with a happy air, and Ted got his own Christmas suit.

Although it doesn't look like it, I have the ability to transform.

So, before the Christmas party started at noon, the students who stayed on campus discovered that under the largest Christmas tree in the auditorium, there was a little old man wearing a red hat with white edges, a big white beard, a red cotton jacket with white edges, and a big black and shiny raven on his shoulder.

The Muggle-born little wizard immediately called out the name: "Santa Claus!"

Santa Claus is a concept that evolved from traditional folk stories in Europe in modern times. How could the little wizards in the magic world know this? They don’t even know who Jesus is!

So don't mention how novel it is.

But Ron, Jerry and others have recognized Ted through Ansu!

The two looked at each other. Ron: What is Ted going to do?
Jerry: I don’t know.
Ted had already picked up his guitar and started singing, starting with a Christmas song to liven up the atmosphere.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells ~ Jingle all the bells ~" Ted was singing and almost turned into Mixue Ice City.

When the simple song ended, the students who had stayed on campus gathered in a large circle and burst into thunderous applause.

Ted used his singing skills to sing another song, this time it was the cheerful "Bunny Dance"~
