William Caught an Older Woman's Eye

William woke up in the morning.

I wasn't woken up naturally, but rather by being pressed down.

William looked up and saw that Bobocha's fat body was pressing firmly against his chest like a boulder.

As stable as a rock... This adjective perfectly describes Bobocha.

Right now, he really wants a chest-crushing Bobocha!

William pulled his numb arm out of Hermione's arms, moved Bobocha to a different position, and finally managed to get up from the sofa.

He got off the sofa and picked up the thick blanket that had fallen to the floor.

Thanks to the magical items William made, the house wasn't cold at all, but it was snowing heavily outside, and the temperature wasn't high enough to warrant not using a blanket at midnight.

But Hermione is a restless sleeper, and in her half-asleep state, she rolled up the blanket and took it away.

In the middle of the night, William found himself completely naked.

So he got up three or four times that night... Each time, Hermione would take the new blanket and put it under him.

Helpless, in the middle of the night, William had no choice but to drag Bobocha out of her little nest... Only by using the orange chair to suppress one corner could Hermione not roll up the blanket.

The price was that the Bobocha somehow ended up on his chest, and he also had a bit of a sleep paralysis feeling.

William tiptoed out, washed up, and began making breakfast.

When breakfast was ready, Hermione was already up. She tidied up the living room and then happily opened Christmas presents with William.

Hermione didn't have many gifts to give, since she didn't have many friends... So after unpacking the pitiful box, she helped William unpack his gifts.

She completely ignored the chocolate; after all, no one dared to eat it. Ron had been affected by the Amortentia in it last year, hadn't he?

Of course, it wasn't just because of the Amortentia; even if it contained no additives and was beneficial to growth and development, William still wouldn't dare to eat it.

Why don't you try one?

I'll break all three of your legs!

Cedric gave me a wand... Whomping Willow, Basilisk horn core, eleven and two-thirds inches long, and quite flexible!

William waved his wand, which made a loud bang, like a pistol firing. A flock of small birds flapped their wings and flew out of the wand's head into the snow through the open window.

good,

It's much more comfortable to use than the Unicorn wand he made before, both in terms of comfort and power.

It certainly can't compare to Ollivander's, but it's good enough as a backup wand.

What do you need a bicycle for?!

In return for Cedric's wand, William gave him a big surprise in return.

Cedric would definitely like it, after all, the gift packaging was labeled "computer accessory" or something similar.

In his previous life, William worked part-time at a courier station. Whenever he saw a package like this, he would handle it with care and caution.

Occasionally, when they bump into the person picking up the package, they exchange a subtle glance and reveal a satisfied smile of a seasoned driver.

Phoebe gave him a wooden model of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic so he could familiarize himself with the school's layout.

William loves building these things. He's built the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge before, and after finishing them, he stomped on them until they collapsed, enjoying the violent aesthetics of that moment.

As is widely known, both of these buildings were used as backdrops for destruction.

William gave Phoebe Sound Transmission Conch he made himself, so she could learn foreign languages without having to write letters.

Isn't it to save paper?

After opening several gifts from his friends, William was drawn to Anne's gift.

Her package was the largest.

As expected, Anne is the most considerate person; she knows to give the most precious gift to her brother!

It wasn't for nothing that I doted on this younger sister.

William opened one box and found another box inside.

"..."Are there nesting dolls there?!

William had a bad feeling. He opened seven or eight of them, and finally picked up a small greeting card inside.

The greeting card contained only one short line of text.

Merry Chrismas.

Anne Stark.

"..."

Hermione laughed so hard she bent over, waving the gift Anne had given her. It was a DIY photo album filled with pictures taken during the summer vacation.

There is a group photo of the three people.

Hermione gave Anne a giant nesting bear doll.

Why should I?!

William decided to send Anne the cheapest greeting card next year as well.

He started unwrapping Dumbledore's gifts again, which was the thing he looked forward to most every year.

Since the principal had hinted at it, William naturally gave him a wool hat... imported from France, pure white, warm and comfortable.

William opened the box and found a picture frame inside, but the frame was strange; it was completely empty.

William knew what it was.

Sure enough, after a moment, Dumbledore appeared in the picture frame.

Each principal would keep a portrait of the subject by his side and then continuously "train" him until it was hung in the Headmaster's Office after his death.

Dumbledore had already begun working on the portrait, and he sent a framed copy to William.

Since William had nothing else to do, he could ask Dumbledore questions through the portrait, which would make communication between them easier.

That's a nice gift.

William decided to place the framed picture in his study on the third floor.

Having given Snape Christmas presents for three consecutive years, the professor was probably moved and finally returned the favor this year... no longer Bezoar, but two drops of Felix Felicis.

That does fit Snape's status Potions Master.

That's incredibly stingy!

Let's not even talk about a whole vat, but at least a small bottle, enough for one day, right?

William suspected that the few Felix Felicis in the tube would only last a few minutes at most before becoming ineffective.

William searched for a long time but couldn't find Hermione's gift.

Anne only sent a greeting card, while Hermione didn't send a gift at all?

"I've already given it to them!" Hermione insisted from the side.

When was it delivered?

"Last night...," Hermione, her face flushed red to her neck, her voice barely audible.

What was the gift?

I'm not telling you, but I already gave it to them!

Hermione insisted that she gave it, but refused to say what it was.

This left William completely baffled about his sister.

Could it be... carbon dioxide?

William gave Hermione a gold watch with three hands, representing William, Hermione, and Anne.

The dial is marked with symbols for dormitory, Great Hall, classroom, library, security, home, etc.

This is a modified safety clock that can determine whether others are safe.

On one side of the watch strap, Undetectable Extension Charm expands the space; inside the watch, there is also Nicolas's Sound Transmission Conch, enabling long-distance communication at any time.

William had a difficult time making this watch; he completed it almost entirely under Nicolas's guidance.

Only three pieces have been made so far. I gave one to Hermione and Anne, and kept one for myself.

I had planned to sell it before, but now it seems that it won't be able to be sold anytime soon.

With his current level of Alchemy, he is not capable of large-scale production.

William was still explaining the watch's functions to Hermione when there was a knock at the door.

--Luna!

Luna, holding a small umbrella, rode her Unicorn backwards, swaying gently, as she crossed the snow to visit someone.

Once inside, Luna handed over a basket.

"These are pastries I made, as Christmas gifts for you."

Luna's skills are undeniable; she even shaped her pastries into cartoon characters.

Aside from her dazed state, Luna is truly multi-talented.

"Oh, by the way, a woman named Rita Kist came to my house today," Luna said.

"Rita Kister is here?" William frowned.

"Is she going to cause trouble for your father?" Hermione asked.

During the summer vacation, Lovegood wrote an article about Rita and Lockhart.

"No." Luna shook her head and said meaningfully.

"She's here to ask about William."

William raised an eyebrow. Rita, this woman, wasn't paying attention to Newt's love affairs anymore, and had actually turned her attention to him?

My tastes change so quickly; in such a short time, I've gone from strong flavors to milder ones.

Grandpa Newt cried himself unconscious in the bathroom!
