While Harry Potter and Dobby were arguing about the gifts, Ryan, seeing that there was no more excitement, started looking at the gifts beside his four-poster bed.

Hermione gave Ryan a book called "The Importance of Monogamy in Human Relationships";

Luna gave him a bag of roasted Gordigen Tea;

The gift from Phoebe was a lightweight and easy-to-remove men's nightgown, which was imbued with a magical power that could release different levels of fragrance based on the wearer's body temperature.

Kate then gave her a two-person tour voucher from a Mysterious Travel Agency, with the destination in the America, on the afternoon of April 4th, the day after Easter.

Penelope's gift was the strangest: a book with "letter" written on the cover, but it was blank inside. There was a bookmark with instructions written on it.

It says that as long as you tear off a page, it will automatically fold into an envelope and drop a blank sheet of paper as letter paper.

This gift is very much in line with Penelope's tastes.

That is, no matter what, even if he and she were face to face, she preferred to communicate by writing letters.

"It's been a long time since I've tried pulling the castle over." Ryan extended his right hand.

With a pull into the air, accompanied by a tooth-grinding creak that only Ryan could hear, the gates of Smith Castle invaded from inside the Ravenclaw Tower.

The door to Ryan's bedroom opened, and the five gifts flew automatically into the storage cabinet in the corner of the bedroom.

Clang, clang, clang.

It seemed that the master was not making any move.

The door then automatically and slowly disappeared into the air.

Ryan, meanwhile, slowly began to unpack and examine the other gifts.

The most interesting one of them is definitely Snape.

Snape astutely noticed Ryan's lack of knowledge about Potions.

They specially sent over a thick Potions notebook.

It contains all of Snape's hard work over the years.

Others, such as Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hagrid, knew Ryan.

Their gifts, however, were only so-so.

However, the most important thing about a gift is whether it was given with care.

Ryan reciprocated with a gift in return.

He gave Harry a book—"On the Principles of Trace and the Methods of Shielding".

This will help with the big thing Harry's going to do for Easter.

Help him eliminate the possibility of the Ministry of Magic noticing.

Although Little Hangleton is still registered as a wizarding area in the Ministry of Magic's registry.

The magical fluctuations occurring here will not trigger an alarm.

But the only wizarding family here, the Gaunt, is now gone.

In addition, Harry is a minor wizard.

There is still a very slight chance that the Ministry of Magic will find out.

He gave Ron the latest Doraemon —one that hadn't been officially released yet.

Neville, on the other hand, was given a parchment that only Neville could see and that was to be burned after reading.

A spell was recorded on it.

Its function is to absorb negative substances such as Dark Magic, curses, and poison from others and transfer them to the caster.

This is of little use to other wizards.

Or rather, a method of sacrificing oneself.

However, regarding magical traits that apply to magic itself...

It possesses magical power that can be described as the power to ward off evil.

For Neville, who had also practiced sword magic and transformed his physical body,

It's more like a whetstone to make a sword sharper.

And Hagrid, the gift Ryan gave him was the simplest.

A dragon egg with Ukrainian Ironbelly.

However, this time, Hagrid, as the Lord of the Forbidden Forest,

Unlike Harry in his first year, he didn't have to send away the hatchling dragons that had just emerged.

He has the ability to tame it and hide it in the Forbidden Forest, so that no one can find it.

Unless he wants to.

It was 9 o'clock. The room quickly became lively.

Harry, who had gone back to sleep, was awakened by the exclamations of Ron and the others.

"That's awesome! Ryan gave me a copy of Doraemon that hasn't been published yet!"

"I've wanted this for a long time!"

"What did you give me?"

Harry put on his glasses; all he could see now was himself.

Everyone else was already up.

The dormitory was filled with the clicking sounds of gifts being unwrapped.

Harry was suddenly wide awake.

He got up wearing the asymmetrical socks Dobby had given him.

He rushed to the bedside where he had long wanted to open the gifts, but had kept them unopened until now so that he could share them with the others.

Harry naturally started by unwrapping gifts from his roommates.

They are currently comparing each other.

"Let me see, what Ryan gave you is 'Advanced Study of Accio'."

Ron, you—

"Oh, right, Ryan probably knows about the Accio that I recommended to Krum."

Harry belatedly realized that the book in his hand looked different to others.

Neville, who was standing nearby, seemed to have opened Ryan's gift first.

A flash of fire and Neville's joyful exclamation followed.

All that appeared in Neville's hand was a clump of ashes that scattered in the wind.

But Neville seemed very happy.

"Wait, Ryan? I didn't give him a gift."

Where are the others?

"He probably went to Beauxbatons early this morning."

How lucky he is! He's Miss Delacour's dance partner!

Anthony, Terry, Michael exclaimed in amazement.

"You know—"

"Oh, how enviable!" Harry started to say, then quickly pretended to be like them.

He then winked at Ron.

This stopped Ron from saying what was about to come out.

Harry was quite surprised by what Anthony and the other two said.

Now, Ryan's existence no longer seems to be a secret.

As for the other three in their dorm, they had already remembered Ryan.

And it seemed as if they had never ignored him.

And they probably haven't remembered Ryan's face yet.

Or rather, he was ignored.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been puzzled or even amazed that Ryan could be Phoebe's dance partner.

They probably think Phoebe is very lucky to be with such a handsome guy as Ryan.

Such a discovery.

After Harry took apart the Mrs. Weasley. Weasley family received every year and put it on...

Ron, Neville, and others hurriedly left the dormitory.

They met up with Ginny in the common room and went downstairs together for breakfast.

And then they started talking about Ryan.

"What? So Ryan is really going to go public with that Pixie?"

This isn't very unfair to Luna!

In front of the Entrance Hall, after finishing their meal, Ginny and Harry were about to walk out of the castle when Ginny, who was taking a stroll, stopped in her tracks, her face flushed with anger.

Harry, who was standing nearby, wanted to say that if anyone was being unfair, it should be Hermione first.

But his survival instincts as a boy told him it was best not to say that.

Harry looked out at the field, unsure how to put his words into action.

The ground was covered with a blanket of white snow, almost untouched by human feet.

Only the deep footprints left by Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Castelobruxo's students as they returned to the castle.

"How about we have a snowball fight?" Harry asked after a long silence.

"You still have the mood to have a snowball fight?"

Luna is going to get dumped!

"Don't you have any conscience!" Ginny then looked at Ron, "And you, what are you looking at!"

Have you seen Ryan?

I want to talk to him!

Harry and Neville exchanged a glance.

I've decided it's best to remain silent.

Let Ron, the older brother, handle it.
