The day before Christmas,

The professors, along with the Prefect, decorated the school with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The handrails of the Marble Staircase are covered with colorful crystal balls; and numerous icicles that never melt appear on both sides of the eaves.

Four giant ice sculptures were placed at the entrance of the Great Hall: an eagle, a lion, a badger, and a snake.

They look like four door gods.

There were also twelve sturdy Christmas trees in the Great Hall, decorated with all sorts of little trinkets.

From the Winky holly berries to the incessant chirping of the golden owl.

There are also special glowing eggs sponsored by Akali's Mystery Shop, which smell like cream.

Many students were sneaking a bite, but after eating it, they would keep burping.

The armor was also enchanted; whenever someone passed by, it would sing Christmas carols.

Large snowflakes drifted down inside the Great Hall. Despite the high temperature inside, they didn't melt, but they disappeared automatically when they landed on everyone's heads.

Beauxbatons ' light blue carriage was also newly decorated, with the bells replaced by large blue lanterns.

From a distance, it looks like a large pumpkin covered in frost in winter, and the gingerbread house next to it, sprinkled with icing sugar, is Hagrid's little cabin.

Besides these ridiculously beautiful outfits, many rumors also began to circulate in the school.

For example, Dumbledore bought 80,000 barrels of flavored mead from Madam Rosmerta, who had Three Broomsticks.

The school purchased six million special fireworks from Akali's Mystery Shop;

Professor McGonagall purchased 100 million bottles of Felix Felicis for each of her students from Akali's Mystery Shop.

These sound like weak links; they were all spread by the Navy.

But there was nothing people could do; everyone believed it, and Akali's Mystery Shop's sales increased significantly.

On Christmas morning, William woke up early in the morning.

This year, he received even more gifts; the entire dormitory was piled high with them.

Bobocha was fast asleep when it felt the blanket being pulled back. It meowed twice in dissatisfaction and then burrowed back into the warmer area.

William poked its chubby rear end and urged, "Get up, Bobocha. You have lots of Christmas presents."

Bobocha lay lazily on the bed, curled its ears, meowed impatiently a few times, and then curled up into a ball of fluff.

Its "don't touch Laozi" look seems to say:

You expect me, the cat's master, to lay a hand on you? What use are you as a cat owner?

Is feeding and scooping poop really all they know how to do?!

Seeing that Bobocha was so aloof, William vigorously rubbed its head.

Bobocha's morning grumpiness immediately surged forth.

It's full of resentment.

You spend every night with Hermione, not returning until late at night.

Not only did you wake me up, but I also slept with you last night. Now that you've slept with me, you still want to mess with me this morning?

Do you really think cats have no dignity?

Okay, go ahead and do it... chin area, yes, yes!

William petted the chubby orange cat for a while, then got bored and stopped paying attention to it.

Since Bobocha wouldn't get up, William decided to give all of its Christmas presents to Hermione and Anne's two cats.

Bobocha probably wouldn't have any objections, and Bobosha and Pineapple Head would be happy too.

After all, it was a gift from my father.

After standing up and putting on his clothes, William began to unwrap the gifts.

Chocolates and various candies are, as usual, ignored, as many are laced with Amortentia.

Of course, many of the Amortentia are sold in Akali's Mystery Shop.

That's right, Akali's Mystery Shop has monopolized the Amortentia industry.

They didn't spend so much money hiring wizards for nothing.

The female fans bought his Amortentia and gave them to William.

It's all a setup!

Besides chocolates, books are the most popular gift from fans.

William will keep the books he's interested in. Those he's not interested in will be sold to Flourish and Blotts at a low price.

He does like reading, that's for sure, but he just doesn't like books like "Young Wizard Abin" or "Merlin's Young Stepmother."

William's roommates, however, enjoy watching it; for example, Bradley is a die-hard fan.

He even wrote down the titles of each chapter, such as "Landlady" and so on.

His favorite saying was: Wizard Abin's OWLS results weren't very good...

William didn't understand, nor did he dare to ask.

Every Christmas, what he looked forward to most was Dumbledore's gift.

The gifts from the principal were always expensive and interesting.

William was not disappointed this year either; he gifted him an exquisite Pensieve.

The Pensieve is an extremely precious magical item; it can store memories and also allow one to see them.

William had long coveted the Pensieve in the Headmaster's Office.

But that was school property, reserved for the use of successive headmasters. Therefore, Dumbledore gave was his own collection.

Professor Snape was as stingy as ever this year, giving only three drops of Potions, marked as Gillywater Potion.

In terms of medicinal effects, this is a more useful Potions than Gillyweed, as it allows one to breathe underwater.

Most importantly, the materials are cheap and the delivery time is long.

William didn't understand why the professor wanted to give him this potion. He had no intention of going into the Black Lake.

This year, William's gift to Professor Snape was shampoo again.

However, this time the gift was his improved version of the Occamy Egg shampoo. It has a unique lily scent.

William gave shampoo as a Christmas gift to many people.

This is indeed an improved shampoo for Hermione, and it will also be launched on the market, with a variety of scents available.

He gave Dumbledore that tasted like raspberries, hoping the headmaster wouldn't mistake it for raspberry juice and drink it.

He also gave Aberforth a wool-scented shampoo.

The gift for Madame Maxime is eggplant-scented shampoo; I hope she likes it.

Also, Professor Babbling's favorite potato chips are cucumber-flavored, and William even gave her cucumber-flavored shampoo.

She must be very happy to receive a gift from William in a foreign land.

Sirius gave her an ancient magic book, written on papyrus, with contents in ancient Latin.

This magic book is ancient, dating back to the Rome era.

In that era, Latin was the most dominant language in Europe.

Because this now-extinct language was once the common language of the Roman Empire.

The book introduces a large number of offensive spells, making it extremely valuable.

This is definitely Sirius; it was found in his ancestral home.

Even Dumbledore might not have such rare books, as they are passed down through family history.

In terms of family history... there are really few that can compare to the Black family.

Many Pure-blood families of its caliber at the time have long since perished, but it continues to stand strong.

So, Sirius is truly a dog, a tycoon, and Black!

Phoebe's gift was a very exquisite osmanthus wood photo album.

When William opened the book, he found photos of her from birth to her seventeenth birthday... at every age.

William gave Phoebe a precious piece of jewelry crafted by Goblin —a sapphire necklace.

Trene gave her a wooden model of St Mark's Basilica.

William gave the alchemical sword that Dumbledore had given him to Trene.

He searched around but still couldn't find Hermione's Christmas present.

William remembers that she didn't receive a Christmas present when she was in second grade either.

Although she insists she gave it, William still doesn't know... what she actually gave.

After tidying up the gifts, William realized it was almost noon, so he got up and headed towards Gryffindor.

(Please vote for this post, everyone!)

Thanks to "The Man Under the Moon is Dead" and "This Man is a Newcomer" for their rewards.

My roommates dragged me out to eat Haidilao; the next chapter might be quite late.

Those who can't wait can read it tomorrow morning. Sorry everyone, you've kept me from writing. I'm going to pour the pot on my roommate's head.

tomorrow)
