A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 649 Wizard Abin's OWls results are not ideal

The day before Christmas,

The professors, along with the prefects, decorated the school with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The handrails of the marble staircase are covered with colorful crystal balls; and there are a large number of icicles that never melt on both sides of the eaves.

Four giant ice sculptures were placed at the entrance of the auditorium: an eagle, a lion, a badger, and a snake.

They look like four door gods.

There were also twelve sturdy Christmas trees in the auditorium, decorated with all sorts of little trinkets.

From the shimmering holly berries to the incessant chirping of the golden owl.

There are also special glowing eggs sponsored by Akali's Mystery Shop, which smell like cream.

Many students were sneaking a bite, but after eating it, they would keep burping.

The armor was also enchanted, and it would sing Christmas carols whenever someone passed by.

Large snowflakes drifted down inside the auditorium. Despite the high temperature inside, they didn't melt, but they disappeared automatically when they landed on everyone's heads.

Beauxbatons' light blue carriage was also newly decorated, with the bells replaced by large blue lanterns.

From a distance, it looks like a large pumpkin covered in frost in winter, and the gingerbread house next to it, sprinkled with icing sugar, is Hagrid's little cabin.

Besides these ridiculously beautiful outfits, many rumors also began to circulate in the school.

For example, Dumbledore bought 80,000 barrels of flavored mead from Mrs. Rosmerta, who had three brooms.

The school purchased six million special fireworks from Akali's Secret Shop;

Professor McGonagall purchased 100 million bottles of Felix Felicis for each of her students from Akali's Mystery Shop.

These sound like weak links, spread by the Navy.

But there was nothing people could do; everyone believed it, and Akali's Mystery Shop's sales increased significantly.

On Christmas morning, William woke up early in the morning.

This year, he received even more gifts, which filled the entire dormitory room.

Bobo Tea was sleeping soundly when it felt the blanket being pulled back. It meowed twice in dissatisfaction and then burrowed back into the warmer area.

William poked its chubby rear end and urged, "Get up, Boba. You have lots of Christmas presents."

Bobo Tea lay lazily on the bed, curled its ears, meowed impatiently a few times, and then curled up into a ball of fluff.

Its "don't touch me" look seems to say:

You expect me, the cat's master, to use my claws? What use are you as a cat owner?

Is feeding and scooping poop really all they know how to do?!

Seeing that Bobo Tea was so aloof, William vigorously rubbed its head.

Boba Tea's morning grumpiness immediately surged up.

It's really full of resentment.

You spend every night with Hermione, and don't come back until late at night.

Not only did you wake me up, but I also slept with you last night. Now that you've slept with me, you still want to mess with me in the morning?

Do you really think cats have no dignity?

Okay, go ahead and do it... right there on your chin!

William petted the chubby orange cat for a while, but then got bored and stopped paying attention to it.

Since Bobo Tea wouldn't get up, William decided to give all of its Christmas presents to Hermione and Anne's two cats.

Bobo Tea probably wouldn't have any objections, and Bobo Sa and Pineapple Head would be happy too.

After all, it was a gift from my father.

After standing up and getting dressed, William began to unwrap the gifts.

Chocolates and various candies are not considered, as many are laced with aphrodisiacs.

Of course, many of the love potions are sold in Akali's Secret Shop.

That's right, Akali's Mystery Shop has monopolized the love potion industry.

They didn't spend so much money hiring wizards for nothing.

The female fans bought his aphrodisiacs and gave them to William.

It's all a setup!

Besides chocolates, books are the most popular gift from fans.

William will keep the books he's interested in. Those he's not interested in will be sold to Flourish and Blotts at a low price.

He does like reading, that's for sure, but he just doesn't like books like "The Young Wizard of Oz" or "Merlin's Young Stepmother".

William's roommates, however, enjoy watching it, such as Brad... who is a loyal fan.

He even wrote down the titles of each chapter, such as "Landlady" and so on.

His favorite saying was: Wizard Abin's OWLS results weren't very good...

William didn't understand, nor did he dare to ask.

Every Christmas, what he looked forward to most was Dumbledore's gift.

The gifts from the principal were always expensive and interesting.

William was not disappointed this year either; he gifted him an exquisite meditation basin.

The Pensieve is an extremely precious magical item that can store memories and also allow one to see them.

William had long coveted the Pensieve in the principal's office.

But that was school property, reserved for the use of successive headmasters. Therefore, Dumbledore was giving away his own collection.

Professor Snape was as stingy as ever this year, giving away three drops of potion as usual, marked as Water Breathing Potion.

In terms of medicinal effects, this is a more useful potion than gill sac grass, allowing one to breathe underwater.

Most importantly, the materials are cheap and the delivery time is long.

William didn't understand why the professor would send him this potion. He had no intention of going down into the Black Lake.

This year, William's gift to Professor Snape was shampoo again.

However, this time the gift was his improved version of the bird-snake egg shampoo. It has a unique lily scent.

William gave shampoo as a Christmas gift to many people.

This is indeed an improved shampoo for Hermione, and it will also be launched on the market, with a variety of scents available.

He gave Dumbledore something that tasted like raspberries, hoping the headmaster wouldn't mistake it for raspberry juice and drink it.

He also gave Aberforth a wool-scented shampoo.

The gift for Mrs. Maxim is eggplant-scented shampoo; I hope she likes it.

Also, Professor Babling's favorite potato chips are cucumber-flavored, and William also gave her cucumber-flavored shampoo.

She must be very happy to receive a gift from William in a foreign land.

Sirius gave her an ancient magic book, written on papyrus, with contents in ancient Latin.

This magic book is ancient, dating back to the Roman era.

In that era, Latin was the most dominant language in Europe.

Because this now-extinct language was once the common language of the Roman Empire.

The book introduces a large number of offensive spells and is of great value.

This is obviously Sirius Black; it was found in his ancestral home.

Even Dumbledore might not have such rare books. After all, they were passed down through family history.

In terms of family history... there are really few that can compare to the Black family.

Many pure-blood families of its caliber at the time have long since perished, but it continues to stand strong.

So, Sirius Black is truly a dog, a tycoon, and a black man!

Hibiscus's gift was a very exquisite osmanthus wood photo album.

When William opened the book, he found photos of her from birth to her seventeenth birthday... at every age.

William gave Fleur a precious piece of jewelry made by fairies—a sapphire necklace.

Trinity gave her a wooden model of St. Mark's Basilica.

William gave the alchemical sword that Dumbledore had given him to Trinity.

He looked around but still couldn't find Hermione's Christmas present.

William remembers that she didn't receive a Christmas present when she was in second grade either.

Although she insisted that she gave it to him, William still doesn't know... what exactly she gave him.

After packing the gifts, William realized it was almost noon, so he got up and headed towards Gryffindor.

Thank you to the two generous donors, "月下人已逝" and "此为人萌新".

I got dragged off to Haidilao by my roommates, so another chapter might be late.

Those who can't wait can watch it tomorrow morning. Sorry everyone. You've delayed my writing; I'm going to pour the pot on my roommate's head.
