Sending and receiving gifts is the most important thing on the eve of Christmas.
At this time, no one could listen to Hogwarts School and enter the class. Even Hermione was a little excited and copied the wizard Ukulele into Eureka.
Hagrid carried his fir tree and came to the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were just about to leave there. They eagerly finished the task of decorating Christmas's decorations.
"Ah, Hagrid, the last tree has been brought in - put it in the corner over there first, okay?"
Great Hall looks beautiful and spectacular. The walls were covered with hanging flower ribbons composed of holly and Mistletoe. There were twelve towering Christmas trees standing around. Some of the trees were hung with small shiny icicles, and some were lit with hundreds of candles.
"How many days until the holiday?" Hagrid asked.
"One day."
Hermione next to Sean replied.
At this time, Sean was silently placing the package on his owl's talons, and then watching it fly away quickly.
Sean began to think about whether he should give it a name.
Before dawn tomorrow, the wizards will finish delivering the gifts, because the journey of missing you is always very far.
But it's not until the day Christmas that wizards start opening gifts.
This can be considered a small tradition.
Sean is still short of a [Apprentice] level alchemy creation before he can unlock the entry-level alchemy Title. Therefore, for a long time that day, he was thinking about what he should choose as the final animal.
Justin and Hermione were leaving in the afternoon. They tried hard for a week, but they couldn't get Sean to agree to spend time with Christmas at their home.
In fact, Ron wanted to do this after learning some news, but unfortunately, he couldn't go back - because his parents decided to go to Romania to visit his brother Charlie who worked there.
Not to mention Harry, he is probably the same as Sean and wants to stay with Hogwarts Castle forever.
Christmas The list of students staying in school has been determined in the second week of December, so the little wizards also know early on - whose gifts can be given in person and whose gifts cannot be given.
So by the time Sean arrived at the Great Hall, there were already a few more things in his position.
Although he didn't know who sent them, he carefully placed them in the dormitory and carefully checked each name to make sure he had a gift in return.
When he was counting the names at the Great Hall, Hogwarts Castle seemed to be boiling.
"Hurry up Jazz!"
Fat Lady looks quite big, but when it comes to running it is the fastest in the portrait.
"Madam—Madam—"
Sir Cadogan is far behind.
"Fat woman! You're so fast now!"
Violet was holding up a white bottoming skirt and shouted in a low voice, somewhat anxiously.
"At such an important time, even if I can only run once in my life, I have to use it!"
Fat Lady quickly passed through the third picture frame in the corridor on the second floor, while Jazz and Violet were still in the first picture frame.
"Madam, how many times have you said this?"
Jazz was a little confused.
"It's a metaphor! Ah, what a wooden head!"
The voice of Fat Lady became farther and farther away.
The lower level of their corridor is the auditorium hung with hanging flower ribbons of holly and mistletoe.
Sean looked at the signatures of several letters, but still couldn't find them...
For some reason, he picked up the letter from Ms. Rowan·Terra, the kind old woman's daughter:
[Whether your big event will come or not...]
Although there was no one at the professor's chair and even Headmaster Dumbledore disappeared, Great Hall became lively again during lunch.
Before leaving, Hermione received a package from Professor Flitwick. Although he didn't know what was inside, it was difficult to escape the notes, Quill and the like;
Justin also received the package from Professor Sprout. He smiled and said that he might have a new recipe.
But of course no one can receive the package from Professor Snape, and the little wizards may even doubt whether Professor Snape Christmas will send the package.
Sean While Great Hall was dining, the snow was melting on the windows, turning into transparent crystal.
He walked under the Hogwarts Great Hall satin, breathing the fresh and cold air.
Hogwarts has given him so much, what else does he expect?
"Magic is the best gift..."
His eyes Winky shined.
Unexpectedly, when he put all the letters in the dormitory, an owl crashed through the window on the right.
Debris was scattered all over the floor, and Sean was stunned because the left side of the window was open.
Ten minutes ago. Outside the window, the snow Scotland Highlands reflected the castle like a fairy tale.
Headmaster's Office It was warm inside, and the fireplace was burning with golden-red flames.
Albus Dumbledore stood opposite several people. The blue eyes behind Half-moon Spectacles were gentle and cunning.
Beside him, Filius·Professor Flitwick stood on a stack of thick books, looking particularly excited, while Professor Sprout was holding a pot of Snowdrop, which was thickly open at the moment.
In the portrait in the office, even Headmaster Black was silent, because beside him were ladies with blurred eyes and knights pulling pony tightly.
An owl gradually flew away in their eyes until it reached Ravenclaw Tower and smashed the window of Sean with its head.
"Reparo. (Reparo.)"
Sean had just repaired the window, and was about to deal with this strange owl, but it acted like nothing was wrong, pointing its paws at the table with its head held high. Sean guessed that it wanted to point to the letter, but it had just been knocked unconscious by its head.
So he curiously picked up the thick letter, but just one glance made him completely unable to act:
[Jointly issued by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Ministry of Magic]
[Special Adoption Order]
The two lines of gilded words seemed to contain magic power, making Sean look down:
[We solemnly inform Sean·Mr. Green:
Whereas:
Sean·Green complies with the exceptions of "International Secrecy Act" (newly revised) and "Protection of Minors Act (newly revised)".
Also in view of:
Minerva·Ms. McGonagall, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Deputy Headmistress, Head of Gryffindor House; and Severus·Mr. Snape, Professor Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Potions, Dean Slytherin House,
They jointly expressed their firm willingness to assume the sacred responsibilities of raising, educating, and protecting.
It is hereby decided:
On Christmas this year, on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Headmaster's office, the principal Albus·Percival·Wulfric ·Brian·Dumbledore presided over the formal adoption ceremony, with Professor Filius·Flitwick and Professor Pomona·Sprout as witnesses.
This ceremony and the final establishment of the adoption relationship follow the following core terms:
The adoptees Sean·Green have the inalienable right to choose freely. He must clearly express his "agree" or "rejection" out of his true will when he is conscious and fully understands the meaning of adoption.
If he agrees, the adoption becomes official from the moment the ceremony is completed.
Ms. McGonagall and Mr. Snape will officially become their legal guardians and family members, enjoy all the rights of legal guardians, and assume all responsibilities of legal guardians. He will receive a permanent home, and his personal safety and spiritual growth will be under the strictest protection.
If he refuses, this Adoption Order will be invalidated immediately. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Ministry of Magic will arrange a proper resettlement plan for him and ensure that his welfare and magic education are not affected.
His presence or absence will determine whether the ceremony is established or not.
Therefore notice:
Location: Hogwarts Castle Headmaster's office
Time: On the day of Christmas]
"Oh - God -"
Fat Lady's scream at Ravenclaw Tower was stopped by Violet. She quickly glanced at the silent little wizard not far from the portrait.
He was so angry that he blocked Fat Lady's mouth with an apple.
Sir Cadogan is hugging the pony, with tears in his eyes:
"Yes, they all did it. This is the moment that determines fate, but I think the cold wind of fate has to blow me some warm seeds sometimes, right?"
