From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

“Bang, bang, bang!” Ivy knocked on the wooden door of Hagrid’s hut with his fist. On the first day of the new semester at Hogwarts, he sneaked into the Forbidden Forest to harass the Acromanthus. After killing several Acromanthus as big as packhorses, Ivy came to visit his big friend with satisfaction.

“It must be Ivy!” Hagrid’s voice came from behind the door, but it was Ron who opened the door for Ivy.

“Hey! Buddy! Come in! Hagrid has made the tea!”

The Iron Triangle looked no different than before the Christmas holiday. Since Professor McGonagall forbade them to discuss anything related to the Philosopher’s Stone, they seemed to understand that the most powerful adult wizards in the castle should take the responsibility of protecting the Philosopher’s Stone.

So during this Christmas holiday, Harry and Ron, who had no burden, had a good time, especially after Harry got his father’s invisibility cloak. They could explore the entire castle at will and go to all kinds of places that they would never dare to think of.

"We are admiring the gift you gave me! Ivy!" Hagrid patted Ivy's shoulder with his hand, which was several times bigger than a pot lid, and pulled him to a sofa made of a pile of unknown animal fur. Next to the fur sofa was Hagrid's big dog, Fangs, who was always a little afraid of Ivy, but at this time he still wagged his tail in a flattering way.

Ivy had just sat down when Hagrid brought a plate of snacks harder than stone - rock skin cakes, and a pot of strong hot tea.

"Ivy's gift is really great!" It seems that Hagrid has told others more than once.

"I really didn't expect -" Hagrid blew his nose hard, "you would make a magic statue of the scene of that day. I almost let Buckbeak carry me around the house for a few laps every day - you are so thoughtful, Ivy!"

Harry and Ron couldn't agree with this sentence anymore, they both liked the Quill Pen of Silent Bird.

Only Hermione showed a disapproving look.

"You really shouldn't spoil them." Hermione shook her head seriously, and her tightly pursed lips reminded people of Professor McGonagall. Perhaps she just subconsciously imitated the most majestic image of the people she knew.

"If they all use the quills you gave them to complete their homework, what can they learn? Don't forget that there are final exams this semester!"

Seeing Harry and Ron both showing embarrassed expressions, Ivy smiled and said, "Aha, that means Hermione has only returned to the castle for one day and has caught you using the Quiet Bird Quill to do your homework? I thought you would at least hide from her until she found out a week later."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and from their expressions, it was clear that they didn't seem to have thought of hiding it from Hermione at all.

Before the mother bird got angry, Ron quickly changed the subject: "You know, Ivy, we found a magical mirror in an empty classroom! Dumbledore said it can reflect people's desires, and it even reflects Harry's family, even though he doesn't know what they look like!"

Harry nodded in agreement. As the person involved, he could best understand the magic of the Mirror of Erised.

"You should be thankful that Professor Dumbledore only advised you not to indulge in it, instead of deducting points from you!" Mother Bird was still angry, "Three consecutive nights! I don't know where you got the courage from! If the other Gryffindors find out that there are a lot less gems in the hourglass after the holiday, then you two will really have a hard time!"

"Harry has an invisibility cloak..." Ron muttered, and wanted to say something else, but looking at Hermione's eyes that seemed to want to eat him, he finally said nothing.

"If I remember correctly, there are not many people in the castle during the Christmas holidays, right?" Ivy thought for a moment, "Then why don't you go during the day? Anyway, the mirror is just in an empty classroom, not a forbidden place, so there is no need to sneak out at night to see it?"

"Hiss--" Harry took a breath, and the sound was so loud that people thought he was speaking in Parseltongue.

"Ivy!" Harry, who reacted quickly, interrupted Hermione before she spoke, because Ivy's question made him and Ron seem like the kind of people who had to break some school rules, but everyone knew that they were just a little reckless.

"I remember you wrote in the note that you had to pass on a gift?" Harry continued, and he was still trying very hard to recall the content of the note, "From...house elves?"

"House elves." Ron quickly corrected him.

"Yes, house elves." Harry changed his topic, "Do they look like the goblins in Gringotts?"

"Maybe they are about the same height?" Ivy recalled the difference between the two and said uncertainly, "They may be close relatives. But I have never studied this. Besides, this is Dobby's gift to you."

Ivy took out a ring made of dried flowers. As a house elf, Dobby was not allowed to have private property, and everything in Malfoy Manor belonged to the owner. Dobby could not take it away without permission. I wonder how many times these flowers picked from the garden have made him hit his head on the floor, or put his ears in the oven to heat them?

"So, this is the gift that the house elf wants to give me?" Harry took the dried flower ring without knowing why, and couldn't imagine who would give such a thing as a Christmas gift.

But compared to the coins sent by the Dursleys, Harry might still like this dried flower ring more. At least the person who made it put a certain amount of effort into it.

"It's rare." Ron commented so, "I have never heard that the family raising the elf will give gifts to other wizards."

"What is the nourishment?" Hermione from Muggle had not seen the word in various books.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"You don't know?" Ron looked very excited. "That is a magical creature that specializes in serving the wizard, which will help their owners to take care of everything in the family, loyal and never betrayed! My mother always wants to have one Family elf came to help iron the clothes, think about it, she has seven children. "

"Unfortunately, the nourishment of the small elves is only available in the ancient estate and castle. I can't find it in our house." Ron regretted sighing.

"No. Actually, the Wesley family used to have a nourishing elf." Avi looked at Ron's surprised face and continued, "When I was in Hogwarts more than a hundred years ago With the help of Professor Matlida Weasley, she was the dean of Gryffindor at the time and the vice -principal plus deformation class professor. "

"In order to allow me to quickly integrate into the school, she assigned her family raising Elf Diko to help me. Even now, I am also grateful to the help that Professor Wesley has given me."

"Impossible!" Ron looked surprised, "There was a dean of our family? I have never heard of it!"
