When Harry left Douglas' office, he didn't take those rewards, and he didn't bring out the Firebolt either. He wanted to use the Firebolt as his secret weapon and use it in the Quidditch match next semester.

When he appeared in the auditorium, those members who were waiting for him in the auditorium saw that his hands were empty, and their faces suddenly showed disappointment.

Most of the people still stepped forward and patted Harry on the shoulder, persuading him:

"It doesn't matter if there is no reward, after all, we really didn't complete the task better."

"However, we are not without gains. The "Daily Prophet" published a little story about our Charon Detective Agency, although it said that we were with the help of Auror."

"Harry, don't be sad, don't forget that we also have Galleons from the generous Mr. Malfoy."

"Harry, are you eating hot pot, or butter hot pot?"

Harry, who originally had a tense face and wanted to act for a while, after hearing this, quickly smiled, changed the subject and said:

"Everyone can rest assured that there is no shortage of rewards. The award ceremony will be held at the Charon Detective Agency at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. You will never think who I invited?"

George and Fred shouted from the sidelines:

"Merlin's beard, you didn't call Professor Holmes here, did you?"

"You won't let us memorize the text first before giving out rewards?"

Harry cleared his throat and said loudly: "Tomorrow's award presentation ceremony is exactly the goal of our project, my godfather Mr. Sirius Black, in addition to Professor Lupine."

As soon as Harry's words fell, there was a bustling discussion in the auditorium.

"Who did he say?"

"His godfather, Sirius Black?"

"The fugitive who was wronged for 12 years?"

"Don't forget he's not a fugitive now."

"But to be able to escape from Azkaban without being caught by the Ministry of Magic, it must be very powerful."

"So shall we go and see tomorrow?"

Just when the auditorium was full of noise, Hermione stood on the bench, cast the Amplifying Charm on herself and said loudly:

"Let me officially inform you that the Charon Detective Agency awards ceremony at ten o'clock tomorrow morning will be held in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

But this event only invites members of the Charon Detective Agency at the school to participate, and they can have a cordial and friendly exchange with Mr. Black.You must know that this is the first time that Mr. Black has appeared in public after clearing up his grievances. "

Hermione's words aroused dissatisfaction and condemnation from many students.

"The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom belongs to everyone, why not let us go."

"Let us see what rewards Professor Holmes sponsored for you."

"Hmph, I don't bother to go to this kind of place where children play. My test scores this time will definitely be exchanged for a Dragon Ball from the professor."

Charon Detective Agency looked worriedly at Hermione.

Hermione waved her hand, but unfortunately the scene was not as quiet as she thought, which made her a little embarrassed.

Some prefects in the auditorium watched Hermione's performance as if they were watching a play.

Hermione's expression was firm, and she used the Amplifying Charm again and said:

"Although everyone can't participate in this Charon Detective Agency event, it's not like there's no chance.

After Christmas, the Charon Detective Agency will recruit again, and we will have various activities and rewards in the future..."

Hermione's words aroused secret compliments from members of the Charon Detective Agency.

Soon the commotion caused by them was suppressed by several prefects.

In the next few days, Hogwarts returned to its pre-Christmas excitement again. Even when decorating the Christmas auditorium, several senior students suggested using Transfiguration to simulate the appearance of a dementor, and then cast spells to make it look like a dementor. They were floating above the auditorium.

Originally, they planned to release their respective Patronus Charms, chasing this group of fake dementors and giving everyone a show.

But because their Patronus Charm was a product of Douglas mixed with private goods, it was stopped by the joint protest of the ghosts of the whole school, which made them very regretful.

The building called the tower erected on the castle grounds, since Peeves was released, Douglas has not taken back the tower.

The students wanted to decorate the tower as a giant Christmas tree, but Douglas stopped it.He personally operated the sword, and hung rows of red lanterns on the beams of the tower, which made the whole castle glow red at night.

Time soon came to Christmas Day.

Waking up early in the morning, the students were happily unpacking the courier.

Looking at the small pile of presents in front of him, Harry wondered who sent them.

Ron suddenly exclaimed:

"Harry, Harry, look at this, is it exactly the same as yours, Bill gave it."

Harry turned his head and saw that Ron was holding an amulet that was very similar to himself in his hand. It looked like it was made by his cousin, but Ron's name was added to it.

After reading the note left by Bill, Ron said excitedly:

"Sure enough, Bill and Professor Holmes took this thing, and it has the same function as yours. Bill asked me to wear it next to my body, and don't take it off under any circumstances. By the way, what Christmas gift did the professor give you?"

With a bitter expression on Harry's face, he took out a set of thick test papers "Extracurricular Interest Test Questions".

Ron asked suspiciously, "Which mock exam question is this?"

Harry shook his head and said, "That's the literal meaning. The questions in it are not from textbooks. Apart from some weird magical knowledge, there are also a lot of knowledge about the Muggle world."

Ron glanced at Harry sympathetically, and said with a sigh:

"I think Hermione will like this gift."

Harry also said with emotion: "I wonder if my cousin gave the wrong gift."

Then Ron found a small box at the bottom of the gift pile, and when he opened it, he found that it was a little owl. When he saw Ron, he immediately woke up from his sleep and became very excited, flying around Ron.

Harry smiled and said, "It looks like a hairy snitch, although it is indeed an owl."

Ron found some torn pieces of paper at the bottom of the box and tried to piece them together, trying to spell out a sentence:

[Sorry for losing your mouse, this little pig is a new pet for you, I hope you like it. --Sirius】.

Ron said excitedly: "Harry, this is the new pet Sirius gave me. I thought he was just talking that day."

When the Charon Detective Agency was active before, Sirius did mention it to Ron. Afterwards, he asked Harry what kind of pet Ron liked.

Harry said that Ron had been complaining about the old owl at home, but he didn't expect Sirius to find such a small owl. He looked at the little owl again and felt that it was not as heavy as a thick letter.

"Ron, what are you going to name it?"

Ron fiddled with the little owl happily and shook his head:

"I haven't thought of it yet, it's too sudden. By the way, what gift did Sirius give you? I just saw the professor gave me a box of dragon beard candies. It's really great. I was so scared that I didn't dare to open it just now. I am afraid that it is a test paper like you."
