Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 653 Ryan's Gift and Change
While Harry Potter and Dobby were talking about the presents, Ryan, seeing that there was nothing more to come, just looked at the presents beside his four-poster bed.

Hermione gave Ryan a book called "The Importance of Exclusivity in Human Relationships";
Luna sent a bag of roasted Gordigan tea;

Furong gave him a pair of light and easy-to-take-off men's pajamas, which had a magical power that could emit different levels of incense according to the wearer's body temperature.
Kate gave him a voucher for a two-person trip from a mysterious travel agency, with the destination in the United States and the time being the afternoon of April 4, the day after Easter.

As for Penelope's gift, it was the strangest. It was a book with "letter" written on the cover, but it was blank when opened. There was a bookmark with instructions written on it.

It says that as long as you tear off a page, it will automatically fold into an envelope and a piece of white paper will fall out as a letter paper.

This gift is in line with Penelope's hobbies.

That is, no matter what, even if he met her face to face, she preferred to communicate through letters.

"It's been a while since I tried to pull the castle over." Ryan stretched out his right hand.
With a pull in the air, accompanied by a teeth-grinding creaking sound that only Ryan could hear, the gate of Smith Castle was invaded from the interior of Ravenclaw Tower.

The door of Ryan's bedroom opened, and the five gifts automatically flew into the storage cabinet in the corner of the bedroom.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

It seemed that the owner did not move.

The door automatically and slowly disappeared into the air.

Ryan slowly opened the other gifts.

The most interesting one here is Snape's.

Snape was acutely aware of Ryan's lack of knowledge about potions.

A thick potion notebook was specially sent here.

It's all Snape's hard work over the years.

And the others, such as Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hagrid, know Ryan.

Their gifts were only mediocre.

But the main thing about gifts is whether they are thoughtful or not.

For this, Ryan also gave a return gift.

He gave Harry a book - "On the Principles and Shielding Methods of Trace Threads".

This would help with Harry's big Easter event.

Help him eliminate possible Ministry of Magic detection.

Although Little Hangleton is still registered as a wizarding haunt by the Ministry of Magic.

Magical fluctuations occurring here will not cause any alarm.

But the only wizard family here, the Gaunt, is gone after all.

Plus Harry is an underage wizard.

There's still a slight possibility of being discovered by the Ministry of Magic.

He gave Ron the latest copy of "Doraemon" - which was not officially on sale yet.

As for Neville, he presented a piece of parchment that only Neville could see and that would be burned after reading.

There is a spell recorded on it.

Its function is to absorb the aura of black magic, curses, poisoning and other negative substances from others and transfer them to the caster.

This is a waste of time for other wizards.

Or in other words, a way to sacrifice yourself.

But for the magic attribute,
It has a magical power that can be said to be able to break demons.
And practiced the magic of the sword to transform his body, Neville,
More like a whetstone to sharpen a sword.

And Hagrid, the gift Ryan gave him was the simplest.

A Ukrainian iron-belly dragon egg.

But this time, Hagrid, the Lord of the Forbidden Forest,

There is no need to send out the hatched Charmander like Harry did in his first year.

He had the ability to tame it and hide it in the forbidden forest so that no one could find it.

Unless he wants to.

It was 9 o'clock. The room soon became lively.

Harry, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the screams of Ron and others.

"Great! Ryan gave me the unpublished copy of Doraemon!"

"I've wanted this for a long time!"

"What did you give me?"
Harry put on his glasses, now alone.

Everyone else is already up.

The dormitory was filled with the sound of people opening presents.

Harry suddenly lost his sleepiness. He got up wearing the mismatched socks Dobby had given him.

He ran to the bedside and looked for the gifts he had wanted to open for a long time, but had not opened them until now in order to be with the others.

The first thing Harry opened was naturally the gift from his roommate.

Right now they are comparing themselves with each other.

"Let me see, Ryan gave you the book 'Advanced Study of the Flying Spell'."

"Ron, you—

Oh, yes, Ryan probably also knows the flying spell that Krum and I recommended."

Harry realized belatedly that the book in his hand looked different to other people.

Neville on the side seemed to have opened Ryan's gift first.

Accompanied by a flash of fire and Neville's exclamation of joy.

All that appeared in Neville's hand was a ball of ash that was blown away by the wind.

But Neville seemed quite happy.

"Wait, Ryan? I didn't get him a gift."

"What about others?"

"He must have gone to Beauxbatons early this morning.

What luck! He is Miss Delacour's partner!"

Anthony, Terry, and Michael exclaimed.

"You know—

Oh, how enviable." Harry said halfway through his words, and quickly pretended to be the same as them.

And winked at Ron.

Stopped Ron from saying anything.

Harry was very surprised by what Anthony and the other two said.

Now, Ryan's existence no longer seems to be a secret.

As far as the other three people in their dorm were concerned, they had remembered Ryan.

And it seemed as if he had never been ignored.

And they probably haven't remembered Ryan's face yet.

Or rather ignored him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be confused or even amazed that Ryan could be Furong's dance partner.

They should think that Fleur is lucky to be with a handsome guy like Ryan.

Such a discovery.

After Harry unpacked the Weasley sweater that Mrs. Weasley ordered every year and put it on,
Ron, Neville and I hurried out of the dormitory.

They met up with Ginny in the common room and went downstairs for breakfast.

And talked about Ryan.

"What? So Ryan is really going to go public with that vixen?

Isn't this very unfair to Luna!"

In front of the entrance hall, after finishing their meal, Ginny, who was walking with Harry and the others, stopped and her face turned red with anger.

Harry on the side wanted to say that if there was any injustice, it should have been Hermione who came first.

But as a boy, his desire to survive told him that it was better not to say that.

Harry looked out at the field, unsure of how to form his words.

The field was covered with white snow, and almost no one had stepped on it.
There was only a trail of deep footprints left by the students from Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Castellobusher as they returned to the castle.

"How about we have a snowball fight?" Harry was silent for a long time before he finally said this.

"Are you still in the mood for a snowball fight?
Luna is going to be cheated!
Do you have any conscience?" Ginny looked at Ron again, "And you, what are you looking at!

Have you seen Ryan?

I want to talk to him!"

Harry and Neville looked at each other.

Decided it's better not to speak.

Let Ron, the older brother, handle it.
