The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave
Chapter 42 A Christmas Gift for Everyone
Time passed quickly as Sun Zhu kept practicing changing the shape of the Sumeru Pearl. She had successfully transformed the round emerald bead into a peanut, although she was not sure if it would taste similar.
She also did not forget to prepare gifts for everyone.
She bought wrapping paper in four colors: red, yellow, blue and green, and wrapped the gifts separately, thinking she was being very ceremonial.
The packaging for the Weasleys was all bright red with gold foil sprinkled on it.
She gave Mrs. Molly a set of hardcover household magic books, which included practical magic in various aspects such as cooking, cleaning, organizing, furniture maintenance and repair. It was too hard for Molly to take care of the whole family alone.
In fact, she originally wanted to figure out this set of books by herself, after all, she and her father are not good at cooking, but they both love to eat. But she felt that she did not have the talent and patience, so it would be better to give it to someone who needs it more.
The twins were given Quidditch peripherals. Although she knew that they would be beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the future, she gave them a complete set of models, which included seven players and four balls.
She also gave them two Bludgers and two bats. The twins were indeed as described by their captain Oliver Wood in the original book - "they themselves were like two Bludgers."
The gift to Ron was an owl, Owl Owl. In the original book, Sirius Black gave Ron an owl to compensate for his pet, Scabbers, who escaped from Wormtail. Now Scabbers was going to be snatched away by her, and Ron would lose his pet completely. So she returned home and bought an owl for Ron through mail order from Eeyore Owl Shop.
Sun Zhu repeatedly emphasized that she wanted a docile owl. She still remembered how noisy the Jovijoan that Sirius had given her was. Fortunately, after the Barn Owl arrived, she chatted with it and confirmed that it was a good kid before sending it to Ron with confidence.
Ginny was given a complete set of feather pens and colored inks. The feather pen was the one that Ginny liked, with a gold and red color. Sun Zhu guessed that Ginny liked it because it was in the Gryffindor color scheme. In addition, she also got seven bottles of gradient colored inks, which were so colorful and beautiful. She felt that no girl could refuse such a beautiful thing.
In addition to the Weasley family, she also prepared a Christmas gift for Jamie and Newt, who took the blame for her. Although they only met once and they might not remember her as a little girl, she couldn't ignore them.
The gift to Jamie was a dragon model. The ten known dragon species were scaled down and placed in a large simulated dragon farm. She thought that Jamie might not need something that could only be used for viewing, but she didn't know him very well, and choosing gifts for men was not her forte, so she could only think of this gift that would please him and would not go wrong.
The gift for Newt was something she had carefully prepared for a long time. She had started preparing it as early as when she met him at the Ministry of Magic. It was a set of pictures and texts of ancient Chinese mythological animals that she bought from the Huaxia Street Bookstore in London. According to her judgment, it contained a mixture of books such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Records of the Inquisition of the Gods", and there were many mythical beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, as well as fierce beasts such as Qiongqi, Hun Dun, and Taotie. The illustrations were also very vivid, which was very suitable for popularizing Chinese culture to a pure British person like Newt.
The only drawback is that this set of books is in pure Chinese, with a mixture of traditional and simplified Chinese, arranged in vertical format, very old, and very valuable. When Sun Zhu bought it, she had to use her cuteness and bargain with the bookstore uncle in Chinese with a dialect, and finally she was able to successfully get close to the man with her "local accent" and win the book. However, the next translation project required her to think about it bit by bit, but fortunately, because she had prepared for it for a long time, it was basically completed. She packed it in a Hufflepuff color package with ginger and black stripes, wrote Christmas greetings, and was very satisfied.
Luna was given a set of small animal crystal hairpins and headbands, bought from the mail order of the Fengya brand wizard clothing store in Hogsmeade. It was said that they were also cast with defensive magic. Because of the cute shape, Sun Zhu thought it was the perfect gift for a young and eccentric girl. Moreover, she thought that her aesthetic taste was much higher than that of her father, and she would definitely not pick out any strange color combinations like him. As usual, it was packed in the Ravenclaw packaging with a sky blue background and copper polka dots, and this one was done.
As usual, she gave Cedric something related to Quidditch. Forgive her for not really understanding boys' preferences. As the future Seeker of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, it would never go wrong to give him Quidditch peripherals. She chose a limited edition scale model of the Golden Snitch and several signed posters of the Seekers of the Quidditch team.
The posters were obtained from her father. As an official of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, it was not difficult for Sun Zhengxing to obtain them. The difficulty was that she did not know which Quidditch team Cedric liked, so she simply sent all the signed posters of the Scottish, English, Northern Irish and Welsh Seekers that she could find. Thanks to him, Sun Zhu had already recognized all thirteen teams of the British national team.
Sun Zhengxing was surprised at her sudden interest in Quidditch, but when he learned that Sun Zhu was actually sending a Christmas present to Cedric, he almost took down all the posters. Sun Zhu didn't understand why Sun Zhengxing was so dissatisfied with Cedric. He praised him when they first met, but he didn't expect his father to have two faces!
The gift for Fiona took her the longest time to choose. In Sun Zhu's mind, Fiona was beautiful and elegant. As a superficial beauty lover, Sun Zhu had to be very picky, but it was too difficult to find something that matched her temperament. It turned out that she was not only not good at choosing gifts for men, but also for women.
Finally, she asked her father to find peony flowers as a gift. The national flower of China is rich, graceful, elegant and dignified. There are also peony cultivation gardens in the UK, but that is the research scope of British Muggles. The three wizards of the Diggory family did not know much about it. She was looking for the top four "pea green peony". Although it is not particularly rare due to large-scale artificial cultivation, it was still very valuable in 1987.
But the high price was the easiest difficulty to overcome. The key problem was that the peony bloomed in spring. In order to promote the growth of this green peony, Sun Zhu spent 10 experience points from the system to exchange for a bottle of growth-promoting dew, and asked her father to cast a preservation spell and a warming spell, and finally successfully sent the flower out. She specially chose a dark green flower pot with a silver edge, which formed a gradient from dark to light with the light bean green flowers and grass green leaves.
Finally, she did not forget Harry, and gave Harry a pair of shoes that were cast with a warming spell. The shoes would automatically adjust the size according to the size of his feet, and even take him away from danger when necessary. She anonymously sent an owl to Privet Drive. According to Long, the owl was stopped and checked by a new wizard near Harry's house when it flew over, but fortunately it was quickly released.
Sun Zhu was very pleased with Dumbledore's consideration and was not at all unhappy about becoming a suspect.
She also did not forget to write greeting cards to her father's colleagues. Sun Zhengxing did not ask her why she suddenly had so many "friends" who wanted to send gifts, but just followed her and helped her.
"Dad, there's one for you." Sun Zhu took out a box mysteriously. Of course, she couldn't forget her father's gift.
"It's good that my dear daughter hasn't forgotten her father." Sun Zhengxing said sourly, "Dad doesn't need you to give him anything, just remember that he is still by your side."
"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about? How could I forget you? You are my dearest dad." Sun Zhu said to him with the same bitterness: "Open it quickly and take a look! You will definitely like it!"
"Why wouldn't I like anything you give me?" Sun Zhengxing muttered as he opened the blue box.
Inside the box was a photo album. He flipped through the pages and found that the photos inside were all group photos of him and Sun Zhu going to various places in the past year. In addition, there were various snapshots of him cooking in the kitchen, reading in the living room, and petting the cat at the neighbor's house. Every photo in the album was developed by Sun Zhu at a Muggle photo studio, and then carefully organized into this album.
"So that's what the Muggle camera you insisted on buying last year was for?" Sun Zhengxing murmured. He hugged Sun Zhu tightly, and his eyes wrinkled with smile. "Having a daughter like you is the luckiest thing in my life. I love you, Ah Zhu."
"Dad, I love you too." Sun Zhu replied.
Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life, she repeated in her heart.
