Compared to home, the Christmas atmosphere at the Association Headquarters was certainly much stronger.
The more people there were, the livelier it became. That was absolutely true.
But what was up with this Christmas Tree?
Albert was rather speechless as he looked at the bizarre-looking Christmas Tree.
Was it some kind of performance art? Or had someone tried to use a Transfiguration Spell to make a Christmas Tree and ended up with this? Albert had actually guessed right. The tree had indeed been made by several Association members skilled in Transfiguration working together.
Unfortunately, it was clearly their first attempt, which was why they had produced such a strange Christmas Tree.
What surprised Albert most was the Ice House Fred and George had led people in carving from ice and snow on the village clearing. They had also used the Undetectable Extension Charm to expand the interior space countless times over, ensuring there was enough room for the Christmas Ball.
"Not a bad idea. Your execution is just a bit terrible."
Albert took out his wand and gave the strange Christmas Tree a light wave, restoring it to normal. Then, seeming to feel that something was still missing, he pulled an Undetectable Extension Charm bag from his robe pocket and piled the Christmas Gifts he had prepared for the Association members beneath the tree.
"Mm, that looks much better."
Albert put away the Undetectable Extension Charm bag, looked at the gift-laden Christmas Tree, and nodded in satisfaction.
"You prepared so many Christmas Gifts too?"
George appeared beside Albert at some point. He bent down, picked up a package, and asked, "What's inside?"
"Foreign sweets." Albert nodded toward the Christmas Gift. "Open it and have a look. One per person, but I can't guarantee you'll all like them."
"Sweets? Not bad.
