The professors' search for the castle found nothing, which was completely to Albert's expectation.

Unless they could go directly into the castle's sewer system to look for traces of the runes, they wouldn't be able to find them.

Ten days passed by in a flash, and Christmas Eve soon came.

The next morning, when Albert woke up, the first thing he saw was that the room was full of gifts that were stacked up to the ceiling, and he was a little confused.

He had never received so many Christmas gifts in previous years.

During that time, perhaps because he was not well-known enough, or because he was beaten violently by Professor Frey in every Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and his nose and face were so bruised and swollen that he was no longer handsome, so no girls gave him gifts.

You know, other time-travelers receive a lot of chocolates laced with love potions every Christmas.

Why did Albert not receive such a gift? He should reflect on himself.

As for the boys who gave him gifts, it was basically Woz, Cedric and the twin brothers.

If a boy gave Albert chocolates filled with love potions, then he should really reflect on himself.

Having received so many gifts this year, it is probably because his reputation as the third Dark Lord has been established, and many students in Hogwarts want to curry favor with him.

Albert randomly picked up a few gifts and looked at them. Good guys, they were all sent by Slytherin students.

Is this his plan to be like the Death Eaters founded by Tom Riddle who joined him as a student 50 years ago, establishing a good relationship with him in advance and waiting to join his Dark Lord's force later?

Looking at the pile of gift boxes in front of him, Albert suddenly lost the desire to open the gifts.

"Renee, are you there?"

A house elf appeared in response.

Rennie was the house elf that Dumbledore freed from the kitchen and gave to Albert after he bought the land in the Marshwood.

When Albert was in school, he also came over and worked in the kitchen with his old friends.

Of course, that's just to pass the time.

Its main task is to serve Albert, after all, Albert is its master.

"Help me organize this pile of gifts and sort out the gifts from my friends. If the other gifts are from people I know, put them in another pile. Throw the rest away."

"Okay, Master." Reni snapped his fingers, and all the gifts in the room floated up.

Reni started his work, and Albert started to wash up, waiting for Reni to finish tidying up and come back to open the gifts.

……

At the same time, No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Blake's old house.

Harry was having a passionate exchange with a house elf wearing a dirty pillowcase.

"Your Bludger?" Harry's heart was burning with rage. "What do you mean? You controlled the Bludger that tried to kill me that day?"

"No, no! Sir, Dobby definitely didn't want to hit you to death!" Hearing Harry's words, Dobby denied in horror, "Dobby just wants Harry Potter to go home!"

"Is this how you sent me home?" Harry said angrily, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, "Is it your fault that platform [-] and three-quarters was blocked!?"

"Dobby just wants to save Harry Potter's life! Even if he is seriously injured and sent home, it is better than staying in school and losing his life!"

Harry seemed to understand something, and his tone became slightly calmer, but he was still furious, "Are you talking about the monster in the Chamber of Secrets? But you can't stop me with that method!"

"But when he was at Privet Drive, Harry Potter was not willing to listen to Dobby's advice, so Dobby had no choice but to adopt this method."

Dobby wiped his protruding eyes with the dirty pillowcase on his body, wiped away a few tears from the corners of his eyes, and then continued, "Dobby didn't mean to hurt Harry Potter."

"Do you know who opened the Chamber of Secrets?" Looking at Dobby's pitiful look, Harry's inner anger faded slightly and he focused on more important things.

"Dobby doesn't know and can't say. In short, Hogwarts is very dangerous now. It's best for Harry Potter to stay at home and not return to Hogwarts even after the Christmas vacation."

"why?"

"Harry Potter is of great significance to the house elves. Dobby has not forgotten the situation when the devil who must not even be named was at his most powerful - people treated us house elves like vermin. Elf! Of course, they still treat Dobby that way!"

Dobby admitted, wiping his face on the pillowcase. “But in general, since you defeated the devil who must not even be named, the lives of us people have greatly improved.

"Harry Potter survives. The evil lord's spell is broken. This is a new beginning, sir."

"For those of us who thought the dark days would never end, Harry Potter shines like a beacon of hope... At Hogwarts, terrible things have happened,"

"But I'm not a Muggle-born student. Even if the secret room is opened, I won't be in danger, right?"

Harry lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the house elf who had become emaciated due to long-term abuse, "Who opened the Chamber of Secrets? Is it your master? Who is your master?"

Facing Harry's series of questions, Dobby froze and slammed his head against the bedside table, "Bad Dobby, Dobby can't reveal the master's information! Dobby can't tell!"

The elf screamed, "Harry Potter just stay at home! Don't go back to Hogwarts!"

Harry stopped Dobby from banging his head against the cabinet, "No, I have to go back to Hogwarts."

Suddenly there were footsteps in the corridor outside the room. Dobby froze, and then there was a slight crack and Dobby disappeared into Harry's room in an instant.

"Harry, are you up?" Along with the knock on the door, Sirius Black's voice came from the door of the room.

Harry threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed, and at the same time responded towards the door, "You're up, Godfather."

The door was opened, and Sirius stood at the door of the room, looking at Harry with a smile, "Breakfast is ready, go and wash up. We can open the gifts together later, and we can also go outside to have a snowball fight or something. What do you think?" "

Harry, who had never experienced a serious Christmas before, heard Sirius's words and immediately threw Dobby's warning out of his mind.

Harry couldn't wait to hear Sirius's description of the Christmas activities.
