Chapter 117 Opening Gifts is a Beautiful Thing
The early morning sunlight shines through the window and gently falls on Wuyou's fair face.
She frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes and sighed, saying that she was so tired after getting up, and then she lazily began to crawl out of bed.
But she suddenly remembered that today was Christmas and she could open her presents! She quickly washed up and ran downstairs.
Theodore sat on the sofa downstairs, looking very comfortable in a dark gray sweater and black trousers.
His eyes kept looking towards the stairs. When he heard the sound of brisk footsteps coming from upstairs, Theodore immediately stood up with a hint of joy in his eyes.
As soon as Wuyou came downstairs, she saw Theodore standing at the stairs. She smiled happily and said, "Merry Christmas! Theodore!"
Wuyou was wearing a lotus pink skirt today and a cat-ear shaped bun on her head. The delicate comb and hairpin made her look very cute.
In her hand she held a gift box containing a Christmas present for Theodore.
Theodore looked at the gift box in Wuyou's hand, his eyes full of joy. He raised a slight smile on his face and said, "Merry Christmas Mavis, you look beautiful today." His voice was low and gentle, like the warm sun in winter, warm and gentle.
Wuyou walked up to him with a smile, handed him the gift, and said happily: "Thank you, look at this, this is the Christmas gift I prepared for you! Do you want to open it now?"
"Thank you Mavis, but I think we should finish breakfast before opening the presents." Theodore said with a smile as he took the present.
Wuyou thought about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go! I really miss the breakfast made by Lotte!" As she said that, she ran excitedly to the restaurant.
As soon as Lotte saw Wuyou, he shouted happily: "Ms. Mavis! Good morning, Lotte has prepared breakfast!"
Wuyou also responded with a smile: "Thank you, Lotte, for always cooking what I like to eat. You are so thoughtful!"
Lotte bowed respectfully and said in a sincere and grateful tone: "Miss Mavis, you don't have to thank Lotte! This is what Lotte should do! And these dishes were arranged by the young master!"
After hearing what Lotte said, Wuyou turned around and her eyes fell on Theodore who was walking towards her step by step.
She raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, with a warm light in her eyes, and said happily: "Theodore, you are so thoughtful!"
Theodore smiled and said gently, "You're welcome, it's just a little thing."
Wuyou looked at him and smiled, "This is not a trivial matter, this is called detail. Although you look like a very cold person, you are always very gentle in your heart! Just like you always do these little things super super well, your gentleness is always discovered by others in some inadvertent little things!"
Theodore's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of smile in his eyes. He reached out and gently pulled open a stool, motioning Wuyou to sit down.
Wuyou looked at him gratefully, then followed his gesture and slowly sat down on the stool he had just pulled out.
She raised her head, her eyes met Theodore's, and she smiled and whispered, "It's not that I say you're so good, you are just that good!" Her voice was gentle and sincere.
Theodore's heart, which was already slightly rippling, surged like a strong wind at this moment, but on the surface he just smiled and nodded slightly, then said "Thank you."
After finishing breakfast, the two went to the Christmas tree in the hall to open their presents. Since Wuyou had told most of his friends that they would spend Christmas at Nott Manor, many gifts were sent here.
Among the many gifts, one gift was particularly eye-catching. Its packaging adopted the distinctive Gryffindor style, which made Wuyou guess at a glance that the gift must have come from George and Fred.
As expected, as soon as she picked up the gift box, she saw a note on it, which read: "This gift belongs to my dear little snake. If it is our little snake who is reading this note, then I wish you a Merry Christmas! Little snake! If you want to open the gift, it is recommended to find an open place, and remember to stand farther away when opening it, or run faster!
If it's the little snake from Knott's house, then I wish you a merry Christmas, or even a very bad Christmas, and, this is a gift from the little snake, what are you reading? Put it down! "
The content of the note made her laugh, for she still remembered that on the day when she was on the train back to school, George and Fred had warmly invited her to visit their home at Christmas.
But Wuyou told them at that time that he would spend Christmas at Nott's Manor, so the two of them threatened to let the spirit of Gryffindor enter Viper Manor for purification.
Even though Carefree promised to visit them at the Burrow the day after Christmas, they still brought Gryffindor's... spirit?
Although being with George and Fred is always full of joy and surprises, they also often bring pranks that will make you laugh and cry.
Wuyou was not sure what the two of them had prepared to purify Nott Manor, but he was very curious about what it was.
After thinking it over again and again, she said to Theodore beside her: "Theodore, I'm going to go outside to open this gift. It is very likely a prank, so I don't think it is appropriate to open it here!"
Theodore looked at the gift and said, "Is this from the Gryffindor twins?"
Wuyou nodded and smiled, "As expected of Theodore! You guessed it right! Do you want to go and see it together?"
Theodore nodded, stretched out his right hand and said, "Accio wand." As soon as he finished speaking, his wand flew into his hand.
Wuyou looked at Theodore with surprise and said excitedly, "Wandless magic! Theodore, you are so awesome!" Her eyes were shining with admiration and amazement.
Theodore smiled and said, "It's just a flying spell. You mastered it a long time ago, didn't you?"
Wuyou covered his mouth and smiled, saying: "Speaking of this, the reason I learned it in the first place was actually so that I could have snacks anytime and anywhere at home."
Theodore also laughed. He pulled Wuyou up and said, "Although this is a little unexpected, it's also something you would do."
Wuyou blinked mischievously and said, "Hehe, isn't the purpose of learning magic to achieve what your heart desires?"
Theodore raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "For whatever your heart desires?" He looked at Wuyou's matter-of-fact expression and chuckled as he continued, "It would be great if all your heart's desires could be obtained by learning magic."
"It's just that most of the time it's possible. No matter what it is, just try your best. If you fail in the end, you won't regret it. After all, it's a pity not to have something you really want!"
Theodore smiled softly and responded, "Okay, I'll try my best."
Wuyou nodded in appreciation, gave a thumbs up and said, "Good! You are a teachable person! I wish you success!"
Theodore nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Okay."
The two of them came to the open space in the garden of Nott Manor together. Wuyou carefully placed the gift box on the ground, then stood far away and opened the gift box with a palm of spiritual power.
The gift box began to shake immediately after it was opened. Theodore pulled Wuyou behind him and slowly backed away.
With a whoosh, a ball of bright light rushed towards the clouds, followed by the second, the third... They bloomed in the sky. First, two lions appeared playing together, and then one fireworks after another bloomed in the sky.
Wuyou first looked at the sky in surprise, then said regretfully: "Are they fireworks? If I had known, I would have opened them at night. It would have been very beautiful!"
Theodore put away his wand, looked at the fireworks in the sky and said, "If you like, I will give you fireworks tonight."
Wuyou was surprised and said, "Really?! That's great! Thank you, Theodore!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the fireworks in the sky gradually change into a heart shape. When the heart was brightest, a little snake with a smile appeared in the middle of the heart.
However, there seemed to be something vaguely behind the little snake, but because the light was too bright during the day, Wuyou couldn't see it clearly. Because it was only for a moment, she didn't pay much attention to what it was.
After the fireworks show presented by George and Fred ended, Wuyou followed Theodore back to the Christmas tree in the hall and started the exciting unboxing session again!
She always had a habit of opening the top gift first. The exception this time was that George and Fred's gifts were too conspicuous, so she couldn't help but open theirs first.
So now she picked up the gift box on top, which was wrapped in a layer of silver glittering paper. It was not conspicuous in the dazzling pile of gifts, but if you picked it up and looked at it alone, you would find tiny sparkling spots everywhere.
Wuyou gently uncovered the wrapping paper and carefully opened the lid of the gift box, and the gift inside gradually appeared before his eyes.
It was an exquisite sterling silver necklace, its chain was thin and smooth, emitting a faint glow.
In the center of the necklace, there are several pairs of peach blossom-shaped pendants, also made of pure silver and gemstones. They are lifelike, as if real peach blossoms are blooming on the branches, giving people a lively and agile feeling.
Wuyou was very surprised to receive such a gift, but for a moment she found it difficult to guess who gave it to her.
She searched the gift box carefully, hoping to find some clues, and finally found a small card at the bottom of the box.
The card simply read: "Merry Christmas, Mavis." It did not include the name of the sender.
Wuyou curiously turned the card over, hoping to find the answer on the other side.
On the back of the card, she saw a line of poetry written in neat Chinese:
"When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than anything else in the world.
Theodore."
Wuyou looked at Theodore beside him in surprise and said, "Wow! Theodore, you actually wrote this poem, and you wrote it in Chinese!"
Theodore looked at her and smiled, saying, "I saw it in a book. It says it is used to express that one is very happy to meet someone."
Wuyou nodded and said hesitantly: "You can say that, it's almost the same meaning. Thank you Theodore, this gift is so beautiful! I like it very much!"
Forget it, how can you expect an Englishman to fully understand Chinese poetry? It's normal for him not to know that this is a poem about the Qixi Festival.
When Wuyou lowered his head and continued to look at Yingluo, Theodore, who was sitting beside her, had a faint smile on his face. His eyes were always on her, and some love and joy inadvertently overflowed from his eyes, but he quickly concealed them when Wuyou looked up.
"Theodore, this necklace matches my skirt quite well!" After Wuyou put the necklace around his neck, he looked up at Theodore and said with a smile.
Theodore smiled and nodded and said, "Yeah, it's beautiful."
"Thank you, I will definitely cherish it!" After saying that, she prepared to pick up the next gift.
However, when she reached out to take the pale yellow gift box, her eyes were dazzled by the glittering golden gift box underneath it.
The gift box was tied with a gorgeous bow, exuding the unique scent of the Malfoy family. Wuyou knew without hesitation that this was a gift from Draco.
Thinking of the arrogant young master, she couldn't help but smile, then put down the gift in her hand and picked up Draco's.
Theodore saw her movements, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. Even if she hid his gift at the bottom, would she still break her usual habit and open his gift first? And today, even if he put his gift on the top, she was still attracted by Draco's gift.
After Wuyou opened the gift box, a glittering golden jewel necklace appeared before his eyes. They are truly Malfoys, a family where money is everything to them!
Fortunately, what she gave Draco this year was a glass lantern with a luminous pearl in it. Although it was not as expensive as the gift Draco gave her, it was also a spiritual tool that could help people soothe their emotions and relax their body and mind, so it did not seem too shabby.
After covering Draco's gift again and putting it aside, Wuyou continued to open the gifts in order.
The lavender one was given by Pansy. Although it was a perfume, it seemed a little different from the perfumes she had given before because it didn't have any name. But after turning it over and over, I could only see that it was a pink perfume in a heart-shaped glass bottle.
It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's from Pansy, I'll like it, Wuyou thought to himself as he opened another gift box. This one was a cat's eye bracelet from Blaise.
This is the third bracelet of different colors but similar style. The first two were given to Wuyou last Christmas and on his birthday.
Although it was a perfunctory gift that was a bit expensive, Wuyou was still able to accept it calmly, because she also gave Bryce a gift in the same way. At this moment, he should have received Wuyou's third high-end tie of the same style in a different color.
After opening all the gifts in front of him, Wuyou finally discovered the light yellow gift box that he had opened at the beginning.
When I picked it up and looked at it separately, I found that although this gift box did not look particularly shiny, it gave people a warm feeling, and the velvet bow on the gift box also made people feel soft and warm.
After Wuyou opened the gift box, he saw a snow-white and soft hand warmer inside. It seemed to be cast with some kind of spell, because when Wuyou put his hand in, he felt the perfect temperature inside.
Looking down, I saw the card in the gift box read:
“Merry Christmas, Mavis, I hope it keeps your hands from feeling the cold in the winter.
Cedric
Wuyou looked at the hand warmer in his hand with a knowing look on his face, and sighed in his heart, he is indeed the kindest, gentle, considerate, handsome, sincere and upright! Cedric, the Hogwarts warrior who embodies all the good qualities in the world! He is indeed gentle and considerate! This directly touched my heart!
Looking at this hand warmer, Wuyou remembered something that happened a few days ago.
That day, she and Hermione spent a long time reading ancient runes in the library, and her mind was in a mess. So when she heard Hermione complaining about Harry and Ron, two boring boys, who were always comparing their Quidditch skills every day, she suddenly remembered that Draco seemed to ask her to watch his Quidditch training today.
But she actually forgot it here! When she hurriedly said goodbye to Hermione and rushed to the Quidditch field, she realized that she must have remembered the time wrong, because it was Hufflepuff who was training on the field at that time.
Just as she was about to leave, she ran into Lester, who immediately and enthusiastically invited her to the Hufflepuff Quidditch team lounge for a cup of hot tea.
Although Wuyou kept saying no, he was finally "enthusiastically" taken to the Hufflepuff team's lounge.
