Hogwarts: The Strongest Annie Magus In History

Chapter Thirty-Six: Mysterious Christmas Gift

Christmas is coming soon, and there is a heavy snowfall at Hogwarts.

This festival is very important to everyone, but it has nothing to do with Charlotte. Although he has white skin now, he is still a very traditional oriental person in his bones.

On December 25th, all the teachers and students of the school gathered in the auditorium to enjoy the Christmas dinner.

Tomorrow morning, 80% of the students will return to their homes for the week-long Christmas holiday.

The food on the table today is particularly rich. In addition to the ordinary roast chicken and roast duck, there are also whole big turkey, prosciutto and roast whole pig. The desserts include Christmas pudding and cakes of various flavors.

Charlotte's favorite is gingerbread, which is a small shortbread, fragrant and crispy, very delicious.

La Wen Keluo's little friends basically chose to go home to spend a happy Christmas holiday with their families, and only Charlotte, an orphan with no father or mother, stayed here alone.

Originally, Charles invited Charlotte to go to his home, but Charlotte refused. He was not used to going to other people's homes for holidays.

The only surprise is that after Charlotte woke up in the morning, he found a pile of Christmas presents under the Christmas tree in the common room, many of which were for him.

The blue scarf was sent by Penello, a new collection of wizard novels, it must have been sent by Charles, he likes to read these messy books the most.

There were also some trinkets, which Charlotte guessed were gifts from the members of the Quidditch team, who had taken great care of him since he helped the team win the last time.

There's only one thing that Charlotte's a little confused about.

It was a thumb-sized crystal bottle filled with two-thirds of the potion, and a note was attached to the box, on which was written "Merry Christmas" in beautiful cursive characters.

Charlotte really couldn't think of who gave this gift.

But it looks like it should be a bottle of potion, but Charlotte doesn't know the function of this potion, and he dare not open it to try. If it is a bottle of poisonous potion or cursed potion, then it will be trouble.

After putting the potion into the bracelet, Charlotte went directly to the auditorium to have some breakfast, and then went to the dungeon to try to refine some potions.

What Snape said is quite right, what you know is not equal to being able to do it, the system adds points to improve the level, and what you increase is only theoretical knowledge, and I still lack practical experience. If it was Snape, he should be able to tell what a bottle is just now Potion.

As a result, he saw an unexpected person as soon as he entered the auditorium.

Dumbledore saw Charlotte coming in with the book in his arms, and greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Charlotte, did you get the gift I gave you?"

Charlotte frowned slightly, and said with some surprise:

"You gave me that bottle of potion?"

Dumbledore nodded and smiled:

"It is a bottle of euphoria. After taking it, it can make people feel extremely happy and happy. Although this is illusory, it is also a kind of beauty."

"Glad to receive your gift." Charlotte nodded, "This Christmas should be the time I have received the most gifts in my life."

Dumbledore took a sip of the milk on the table and said:

"The breakfast at Hogwarts is indeed too monotonous. I heard the elves say that you want to eat some breakfast from the East. This is a very good idea. If there is a chance, I will let the elves learn."

Hearing this, Charlotte's face froze, he just said it casually at that time, but he didn't expect it to reach Dumbledore's ears.

He didn't speak, but slowly ate two pieces of buttered bread and a glass of juice sent by the elf.

At this time, Ron and Harry Potter also came to the Great Hall. After seeing Dumbledore sitting inside, they were startled, and walked up cautiously to say hello to Dumbledore.

"Ron, I think you seem to be registered to go home?"

"My father and mother temporarily decided to go to Romania to see Charlie, where he raised dragons and hadn't been home for a long time," Ron said.

"Charlie Weasley?"

Dumbledore said with a smile: "I remember him as a very good student. I always thought he would represent Britain in the World Quidditch Competition, but I didn't expect him to choose to go to Romania."

At this time, Harry Potter hurriedly said:

"Professor Dumbledore, I found a magical mirror in my castle. In the mirror, I saw my parents standing beside me, but Ron saw someone else."

"Then you'll take me and Charlotte to see it later, too, okay?" Dumbledore asked.

"Okay, Professor."

Ten minutes later, Harry Potter brought the three of them into a room.

Charlotte knew right away that he was talking about the Mirror of Erised. This mirror was used by Dumbledore as a mechanism to store the Philosopher's Stone. Now he doesn't know why it was put here. In fact, he also wanted to see what he wanted the most in his heart. What is it.

What Harry saw was his parents, what Ron saw was that he became the captain of the Quidditch team and led the team to win the championship.

What Dumbledore saw was a red sock. He joked that it was because he hadn't received any gifts for Christmas. In fact, the red sock represented family affection. Like Harry, he was missing his family.

Charlotte stood in front of the mirror, and the picture inside surprised him a little.

"What did you see?" Dumbledore asked.

Charlotte said:

"It's all very ordinary things, green grass, colorful wild flowers, a simple but very warm house, a clear stream and a lazy cat basking in the sun."

Dumbledore was taken aback for a moment, and seeing the longing look on Charlotte's face, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"This is the Mirror of Erised. What we see here is what our hearts desire most. Remember, what this mirror gives us is not truth and knowledge, but illusory imagination."

Charlotte really didn't expect that what she longed for the most was to live a peaceful and comfortable life.

But when I think about it carefully, I am indeed such a person, but as soon as I crossed over, I became a test product of a black wizard, and almost died. Although I have become stronger, there are still stronger people in this world. Dark Lord.

Therefore, if you want to live a comfortable life, you must first become the invincible person, otherwise, who knows, a black wizard will come to your door one day and give you Avada Kedavra.

Just then, a black owl flew in and landed on the Mirror of Erised.

It just watched several people quietly, and the sharp-eyed Charlotte noticed a pink pendant tied to the owl's claw.

Seeing the pendant, Dumbledore's expression changed drastically, and he hurried forward to take the pendant off, and said to the three of them with an uncertain expression:

"Go back first, don't run around in the last few days."
