Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 26 The Gift of Maca

Different from the warmth of the small Christmas party at Lovegoods, the Christmas party at Hogwarts can only be described by one word, and that is-magnificent!

Exactly one hundred greasy roasted turkeys, hills of charcoal roast beef and salt-boiled potatoes, large plates of delicious small sausages, bowls of green peas mixed with butter, and plates of thick and fragrant The gravy and lingonberry sauce, the hearty dishes are mouth-watering.

Every few steps along the dining table, there are piles of wizard colored firecrackers waiting for you.These wonderful colorful firecrackers are not like the shabby ordinary firecrackers usually bought by Muggle families-there are only some small plastic toys and very weak paper hats inside.

Harry and Fred smoked a colorful firecracker together. Instead of a muffled bang, it made a loud noise like a cannon bombing, engulfing them in a blue smoke and blowing it from inside. Out of a rear admiral's hat, and a few lively mice.

Dumbledore in the main guest seat put on a lace millinery that he got from nowhere, decorated with a cluster of bright flowers.He was immersed in Professor Flitwick’s little joke right now, and he was laughing cheerfully!

After the main meal, Christmas pudding was red like a flame, and occasionally someone would eat some crescent-shaped silver flakes in it.Percy won the lottery—he almost broke his neat front teeth.

"Albus, look at those Christmas trees. These are the little presents Mr. McLean left us before leaving." Professor McGonagall patted Dumbledore's elbow lightly. She giggled, it was gone. The usual stern look.

"Oh, yes, what a nice boy." Dumbledore nodded happily, looking at the festive Christmas trees.

Professor Flitwick also echoed Professor McGonagall's words and showed Dumbledore the same small decorations made by Maca. He was obviously quite satisfied with Maca, an excellent student.

Snape, who was sitting at the very side, was still indifferent on the day when everyone was celebrating.He looked at those white mist-shrouded Christmas trees, not knowing what he was thinking about.

While everyone was in high spirits, owls flew in from outside the auditorium with various packages, scattered in all directions.

"what happened?"

Even the professors didn't figure out why the owl would fly in at this time.Only Dumbledore smiled and looked at the scene before him, with a relieved look on his face.

It didn't take long for everyone who received the package to understand that this is a Christmas gift from Maca McLean.

"When did he learn this trick of the Weasley brothers?" Snape said coldly, but didn't want a small package to fall right in front of him.

Snape frowned, and tore open the sealed package, but looked at the contents in a dreadful form-it was a bottle of blessing.

For every successful preparation of Fuling Agent, usually only as little as a little finger is produced.The preparation process is extremely complicated, and its average preparation often takes half a year.

Maca got a lot of inspiration from the discussion with Snape and shortened the preparation time to two months, but the price was a sharp drop in the effect.

This Christmas, Maca spent a lot of Jin Jialong and bought this full-effect elixir from his partner as a Christmas gift to Snape.This is Maca who sincerely thanked Snape for his tireless guidance.

As far as the gift Maca prepared for Luna, it took the longest time; Snape's gift was undoubtedly the most expensive one.

Snape pulled out the cork, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then silently plugged the cork back.

"Severus, am I right?" Dumbledore said to Snape with a smile.

Snape twitched his mouth and replied blankly.

Not to mention the situation on the main guest seat, the students below have also received gifts from Maca.

Take Hermione, for example, she is smiling and holding a cartoon lion puppet in her arms, reading a small note left by Maca-this puppet contains sleeping flower seeds, which can improve sleep Quality, know how to rest while studying hard.

What Ron got was a set of the latest wizard war chess-this is Maca's transformation art practice, different from ordinary wizard chess, this wizard war chess is a set of powerful magical creatures and various wizards The board game of chess, which is played together, looks pretty cool.

But Harry found that the gift he got seemed to be the strangest of the three of them!

"What's this? Brain-closure-surgery?" Harry looked at a notebook that had been taken out of the package, and read the words on the cover word by word.

"Occlumency?" Hermione asked curiously. "What is that?"

Harry flipped through the contents, only to find that it was actually a note in a Maca handwritten book. The theory contained in it was quite complicated, and he was a little dizzy.

"Let me see," Hermione snatched it over, looking through it carefully.

While Hermione lowered his head to study the notebook, Ron and Harry were coming and going to guess.

"Maca wants you to learn this... brain... secretion, right?" Ron said, "what is that for?"

Harry shook his head. How did he know what it was for?It seems I have never heard of it.

"Then you do not learn?" Ron said again, "Maca let you learn, that should be correct."

It seemed that Maca's previous guess was correct, and Ron would never be angry with him for more than three days.

"Well, first figure out what it is?" Harry said, looking at Hermione again with Ron.

After a while, Hermione raised her head and spoke a little puzzled.

"According to the content described by Maca on the previous pages, this kind of magic called'Occlumency' is a defensive magic used to resist the penetration of foreign spirits and prevent others from reading the user's mind." Hermione said , "The above said that it has quite a strong resistance to a curse called'Culturism'."

"But what's the use of this? Does anyone want to read my mind?" Harry asked in confusion.

"Who knows? I'm afraid this is the only way to ask Maca him." Hermione was also puzzled.

Only Ron didn't take this seriously. He smiled and said, "Maca said that if you let you learn, then you can learn. He is always right."

Just as the Gryffindor trio were talking about it, a student on the Slytherin table not far away received a gift from Maca.

"Little nerd Blois actually has a part? What's the situation?" The little snakes were talking about it, but no one wanted to talk to her.

The one who received the gift was the mysterious girl who had a very low sense of presence in the school—Villy Blois.

Willie unpacked the package without expression, took out the present inside and laid it flat on the table.What she got was also a notebook, and it was thicker, bigger, and stronger.

She opened the memorial, which recorded the history, ecological distribution, cultivation methods and application value of a plant in a neat and concise style.Obviously, Maca also took a lot of thoughts on this gift-he took a copy of his notes and gave it to Wei Li.

Behind this notebook, there are more than half of the vacancies. Obviously, Wei Li, who is not good at summarizing, can continue to record in this format.

Wei Li carefully stroked the cover of this memo. Although there was still no emotion on her face, it was enough to make people understand that she really loved this intimate gift.

"Thank you." Wei Li's voice was so low that she might not even be able to hear it, but this was still the first time she had said a word of thanks, but Maca had never heard of it.

There are too many puzzling places in this girl with mystery everywhere.Feelings are scarce enough to be frightening, words are scarce enough to be confusing, and her appearance is so delicate that she has an inhuman illusion. All signs indicate that there are too many secrets hidden in her, but no one knows the truth.

And this is probably why Maca is interested in her.

Now, for the first time this mysterious girl shows a gap in her emotional expression, but Maca is still in the distant Lovegood's house.

This has to be said to be a pity.

When everyone turned their attention back to the dining table again, everything just faded away and melted into the Christmas atmosphere that was once again hot.

It wasn't until everyone had fun after dinner for another afternoon that the seemingly calm but undercurrent night would come.

This is the most exciting Christmas in Harry's life.But the thing that lingered in his mind all the time, the thing that was too late to dissipate, did not reappear after he lay on the bed.

He was thinking about that mysterious Christmas gift-the invisible cloak, and the unknown person who gave him the invisible cloak.

Giving Christmas gifts at banquets like Maca is only a special case. Generally speaking, you will find them from the fireplace or by the bed when you wake up on Christmas Day.

Harry didn't expect to receive gifts this morning, but when he woke up, he found that the Christmas gifts he received were quite rich.The most surprising of them was an invisibility cloak given to him by an unsigned person.

There was a note in it that read: Your father left this thing to me before he died, and it should be returned to you now.Use it well, and sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas.

The beautiful swashes looked pleasing to the eye, but the content kept Harry tangled up almost all day.

At this moment, Ron was stuffed with turkey and cake, and nothing strange was bothering him, so he fell asleep almost as soon as he lowered the curtains of the bed.The speed at which he fell asleep made Harry a little jealous.

Harry tossed on the bed, and after all he leaned out of the bed and pulled out the invisibility cloak under the bed.
