Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

Puni never imagined that he would have to find the most beautiful girl in the world to spend his life with.

If he were truly obsessed with ultimate beauty, then all the Veela he had seen before were stunningly beautiful, with graceful figures and a bewitching power. He could have easily found a way to bring one of them home, instead of wasting time getting to know Cho Chang.

It's important to understand that no matter how beautiful a human woman is, she can hardly compare to the Veela, who are born with an alluring charm.

......

The train slowly pulled into station 9¾, where the platform was bustling with activity as wizards came and went, busy picking up and dropping off their children.

Puni accompanied Qiu Zhang off the train, and from afar they saw Qiu Zhang's mother standing on the edge of the platform, looking in their direction.

Mrs. Zhang.

In fact, Puni had long anticipated that he would meet Mrs. Zhang at the station, who had come to pick Qiu Zhang up to go home.

He straightened his wizard robes beforehand to make himself look more dignified and elegant. He walked up to Madam Zhang, bowed slightly, and greeted her respectfully and politely: "Hello, Madam Zhang, I am Penny Lestrange, Qiu's classmate."

"Hello." Madam Zhang looked at the well-mannered and composed young man in front of her, nodded gently, and responded with a smile.

Puni didn't linger. He turned to Qiu Zhang and gently promised, "Qiu, let's meet at this station again after the holiday."

Qiu Zhang smiled and nodded: "Okay~"

Puni turned and left.

He could guess what was happening behind him without even turning around.

Madam Zhang would definitely pull Qiu Zhang aside and curiously inquire about his identity and their relationship.

Puni felt that such a first impression, a quick glance from afar and a simple greeting, was enough.

If one lingers too long or asks too many questions, it will seem abrupt and leave a bad impression on Madam Zhang.

Stepping off the platform and into the waiting room, Puni stopped, raised his hand, snapped his fingers lightly, and then called out, "Morty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint magical light flashed, and the house-elf Morty instantly appeared in front of him.

Moti was small in stature, his face full of respect and joy. He bowed slightly and said in a cheerful voice, "Young Master Puni! Moti has finally waited for you. I am so happy to see you again!"

Seeing that Murti looked like he was about to ramble on and on, Puni quickly raised his hand to interrupt him, saying crisply, "Alright, no need for further words, just take me home now."

He simply didn't have the patience to listen to Merti's endless nagging; he just wanted to get home as soon as possible so he could have some more time to read.

Actually, when he came to Hogwarts, he could Apparate directly to the school via the fireplace, which was very convenient.

But when he went back, he still didn't choose that method.

The waiting room was crowded and noisy, with some ill-intentioned gazes lurking around. Most of those gazes were fixed on students like him who were traveling alone without their parents, and they were clearly up to no good.

However, from the moment Morti appeared, those lurking gazes vanished without a trace and never reappeared.

Puni was not surprised by this. He knew that although house-elves were servants of wizards and seemed docile and inconspicuous on ordinary days, their strength far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. In fact, many adult wizards might not be a match for house-elves.

The reason for this is quite simple.

To deal with an ordinary wizard, simply casting a disarming spell can take away their wand and instantly render them unable to fight.

You should know that once an ordinary wizard loses his wand, he is no different from a Squib, almost unable to cast any magic and can only be manipulated by others.

House-elves, however, are quite different. They never need to rely on wands; they can cast spells with just their hands, and they don't need to chant incantations. Their spellcasting speed is much faster than that of ordinary wizards.

Even when facing adult wizards wielding wands, they can gain an absolute advantage and easily subdue their opponents with their extremely fast casting speed.

That is why no foolish wizard dares to easily provoke house-elves, let alone harbor any ill intentions towards them.

Seeing that the malicious gazes lurking in the shadows of the waiting room vanished instantly after Morti appeared, Puni couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Wizards' power seems to have always been tied to their wands. They can unleash powerful magic with their wands, but they can also become vulnerable without them. In a way, it's true that they can be made or broken by their wands.

Modern wizards have become overly reliant on their wands, treating them as the sole means of casting spells, as if they can do nothing without them.

This deep-seated dependence has long been the fatal weakness of most wizards, and has also made the magic of this world lack some of the grandeur it should have.

As those gazes completely disappeared, Puni shook his head.

With Merti's escort, Puni returned home safely.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he forgot everything else and rushed straight to his bedroom without even taking off his wizard's robes, his face full of eagerness and anticipation.

Chapter 85 Today is Christmas!

"My big bed! I've finally found you!" Puni cheered as he pounced on the soft bed, sinking heavily into the fluffy bedding, the familiar, faint scent of incense filling his nostrils.

He stretched out his arms and hugged the soft pillow tightly, his cheeks rubbing against the smooth sheets. "You understand me best. It's so soft and comfortable!"

Puni lay sprawled on the bed, feeling utterly exhausted. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he soon drifted into a light sleep.

Sometimes, a good night's sleep, rather than medication to maintain physical strength, can be very effective in restoring mental fatigue.

Meanwhile, the house-elf Morty quietly went into the bedroom and carefully packed Puni's luggage without disturbing her.

Murthy was meticulous and rigorous in his work. He sorted out all of Puni's wizard robes and clothes, categorized them, and put them into the laundry basket. He planned to wash and iron them all before changing them into clean new clothes. He also carefully organized Puni's magic textbooks and notes, placing them neatly on the left side of the desk for Puni to use in the future.

After finishing his tidying up, Morti turned to leave, but he soon heard footsteps. He turned around abruptly and saw Puni. His face instantly showed a panicked expression. He quickly stopped what he was doing, bowed slightly, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Young Master Puni, you're awake."

Seeing his flustered appearance, Puni waved his hand gently: "It's okay, don't worry about me. I'm a little hungry. You didn't wake me up."

After saying that, he walked straight toward the restaurant, his stomach already growling with hunger, and he just wanted to eat some hot food as soon as possible.

As Morti watched Puni's departing figure, he breathed a sigh of relief, a look of gratitude on his face.

After Puni had gone some distance, he vanished instantly with a flick of his wrist, using the magic of his house-elf, to attend to other matters.

Puni walked to the kitchen door and saw the house-elf Sen Sen busy at work. He was carrying plates of steaming food and carefully placing them on the table, his face full of a warm smile.

Sensen is a house-elf in charge of making food in the family. She is exceptionally enthusiastic and her biggest wish is to make the most delicious food so that Puni can eat happily.

Compared to Morty's occasional nagging, Sen Sen's enthusiasm was more direct. He always tried his best to come up with new dishes, wanting to surprise Puni.

However, sometimes his imagination was too rich, and the dishes he made were too strange and tasted very weird. Puni often found it hard to accept and could only politely refuse.

But today, the table is set with all of Puni's favorite foods: pan-fried magic sausages, cream of mushroom soup, Honey Duke chocolate cake, and his favorite baked pumpkin pie.

Puni knew that as soon as he got home, Sen Sen had specially made his favorite dishes, wanting him to treat himself well.

As for Sen Sen's imaginative new dishes, Puni plans to wait a few days until he has rested enough before savoring them. Right now, he just wants to enjoy the delicious food in front of him.

Puni devoured the food on the table, eating with great relish and satisfaction, completely oblivious to the slight disappointment in Sensen's eyes beside him.

Sen Sen stood by the dining table, her hands behind her back, her eyes occasionally glancing towards the kitchen.

Over the past few months, he had put in countless efforts to come up with many new dishes. He had planned to cook them all for his young master to taste while Puni was home, but right now, Puni was only focused on enjoying familiar food and hadn't mentioned any new dishes at all, which made him feel a little sad.

Kopni had no time to consider Sen Sen's thoughts; he was completely absorbed in the aroma of the food.

Although Puni was only eleven years old and his figure was still slender like a teenager, his appetite far exceeded that of wizards of the same age. He ate most of the food on the table in no time.

He put down his knife and fork, rubbed his slightly protruding belly, and gestured with his chin towards Sen Sen, casually yet expectantly: "Sen Sen, bring some more dishes, this isn't enough."

Sen Sen immediately concealed the disappointment in her eyes, her face blooming with a warm smile again. She quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Young Master Puni, this servant will go and prepare right away!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he flashed into the kitchen, his movements incredibly swift.

Not long after, Sen Sen came out carrying a plate of steaming hot ribs. The rich aroma of meat instantly filled the air, making Puni's mouth water.

After the meal, Puni was completely stuffed. He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his stomach with both hands, a satisfied smile on his face, and said cheerfully to Sen Sen, "Sen Sen, the dishes today were all delicious. I really enjoyed my meal."

Upon hearing this, Sen Sen's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you for your recognition, Young Master Puni. I will definitely do better in the future and make more of the food you like!"

Seeing Sen Sen's easily satisfied appearance, Puni couldn't help but feel a little emotional. House-elves are always like this; as long as they can get a simple word of affirmation from their owner, they will do their best. But sometimes, he really didn't know how to reward these loyal little guys.

After finishing his meal, he went to get a good night's sleep.

After I wake up.

The morning sunlight streamed gently into the room through the gaps in the curtains, filling the air with the scent of pine needles and the sweet aroma of magic candy—a refreshing and soothing experience.

Puni continued his holiday habit, sleeping soundly on the soft bed with a faint smile on his lips, clearly sleeping very peacefully.

While studying is important, it's equally important to maintain a balance between relaxation and activity.

For him, one of the greatest pleasures of a holiday is to put aside all the trivial matters and sleep in without restraint. If he can't even sleep in during the holidays, he always feels that something is missing and the holiday is incomplete.

Puni didn't know how long he had been asleep when a gentle call entered his ears, waking him from his deep sleep.

It's obvious without even thinking that it must be the house-elf Morty.

These days, Morty wakes him up on time every day, without being too noisy, and makes sure he doesn't oversleep.

Puni rubbed his sleepy eyes, still feeling drowsy. In his hazy state, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, instantly waking him up.

Today is Christmas!

This realization instantly dispelled his sleepiness, and an excited look appeared on his face. Without even changing out of his pajamas, he ran barefoot and excitedly towards the living room.

As soon as Puni rushed into the hall, he was amazed by the sight before him.

Chapter 86 What kind of magical creature is this? Marshal Tianpeng?

In the center of the hall stood a tall Christmas tree, adorned with colorful magical decorations that shimmered with soft light. There were spinning wizard dolls, glowing magic bells, and drifting artificial snowflakes, creating a truly immersive atmosphere.

The area beneath the Christmas tree was already piled high with all sorts of gifts, large and small, exquisitely wrapped, stretching as far as the eye could see—all for Puni.

This was the first time in Puni's life that she had received so many personalized gifts, and her eyes lit up.

He strode to the Christmas tree, sat down on the carpet without hesitation, picked up a gift from the side, and eagerly began to unwrap it.

The first gift I opened was very simply wrapped; there were no fancy ribbons, just a plain note with the Weasley twins' names scrawled on it.

Puni looked at the note and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The Weasley twins have never been financially well-off, so how come they have spare money to buy themselves gifts?

But when he opened the package and saw what was inside, he immediately realized he was wrong. It wasn't a gift he had bought at all, but a sealed glass jar filled with colorful candies, each one crystal clear and exuding a magical aura.

Puni picked up the jar and shook it gently.

He took a small note from the jar, written in the twins' handwriting. It roughly said that the candy was a magical toy they had developed themselves, originally intended to turn anyone who ate it into a magical creature.

However, after repeated experiments, they discovered that the candy's effect was far from what they expected. After eating it, it could only deform a certain part of the body, and the deformation lasted for a very short time, only a few seconds. It was not enough to prank people and could only be considered a semi-finished product.

Puni looked at the words on the note and found them very interesting, his curiosity instantly piqued.

He casually grabbed a pink candy from the jar, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth without hesitation. He chewed it carefully, and the candy melted in his mouth. The next second, Puni felt a tingling sensation in his nose.
