[HP+ Sansheng III] Qingqiu Fox's Magic Journey

Summer quietly slipped away amidst the falling of flowers and the sound of insects, and in a blink of an eye it came to the cold December again, which meant that Christmas was coming.

Last Christmas, Bai Le forgot what he was busy with and didn't prepare any presents for Sif, and the whole family seemed to have tacitly forgotten this most important festival of the year: Tobias was still drunk. And Irene, although she doesn't have to go to work for a week during the Christmas holiday, she just stays at home knitting some sweaters in her own room or goes out at night to find her husband who doesn't know where she is drunk.As for little Snape, he didn't seem to think of the holiday of Christmas at all, he was still in the park every day, and at home at two o'clock and one line.

But this year's Christmas, Bai Le didn't intend to just waste it.Festivals are meant to be celebrated seriously, and Bai Le has always adhered to such a principle.

Today is the last Sunday before Christmas, and little Snape went to the farmers' market with Eileen's mother early in the morning. The market will be closed for two weeks after this Sunday. They will also be closed.So today can be said to be the last day of Christmas shopping, Bai Le cautiously avoided the crazy crowds and walked along the main street to Linda's butcher's shop.

It seems that every small shop on the street has a Christmas wreath decorated with small gold or silver bells, and some shops have a Christmas tree with many small gifts hanging on the door.The window of the cake shop is full of beautifully packaged Christmas desserts, such as Plumpudding, Christmas cake, and various fruit breads.But the most popular one seems to be the butcher's shop. When Bai Le saw that the well-dressed gentlemen in the butcher's shop were really fighting for the last fat goose, Bai Le sighed with satisfaction, "This is it." This is the atmosphere that Christmas should have (NowitfeelslikeChristmas)'

In front of the church square not far from the corner of the street, children gathered to sing Christmas carols, and some municipal workers seemed to be still making the final decorations for the tall and proud Christmas tree in the center of the square.Coupled with the noise of people shopping in a hurry, Bai Le seemed to be excitedly looking forward to next week's Christmas Eve.

Bai Le hummed a Christmas carol, and walked leisurely to the alley where the butcher's shop was located.The outer door of the tavern in the alley seems to be inevitably eroded by the Christmas atmosphere, and a brand new Christmas wreath that is extremely inconsistent with the dim appearance is hung reluctantly.Bai Le walked slowly past the tavern with small steps, and as expected, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and Bai Le quickly hid behind a small box beside him, quietly revealing half of his small head Come and aim at the door of the tavern.

A middle-aged lady wearing a dark green cloak walked out of the tavern, with a perfectly rolled black hair bun, dark green eyes, and tightly pursed lips, giving the overall impression that she was serious and meticulous.

Followed by a very short man with short hair parted in the middle, wearing a black gentleman's suit.Bai Le felt that based on this man's rare height, he must have cast a Diminuendo spell on the suit.

"He probably has goblin or elf bloodlines (Elf)" Bai Le guessed silently in his heart.

'Minerva, maybe we can take better care of that child, you know, during the full moon, that would be good for the child and give the other students at Hogwarts multiple layers of protection' The man He whispered in an unusually high-pitched voice.

Enduring tinnitus, Bai Le commented with shame in his heart that this voice probably sounded like he had goblin blood and hadn't escaped.

'Filius, I'll speak to Dumbledore about this.Don't worry, since Dumbledore agreed to let the child come to Hogwarts to study, he is naturally confident that he can guarantee the safety of all students,' the lady replied in a serious voice.

Bai Le was a little surprised when he heard this.When the moon is full?Will it pose a threat to other students?As far as Bai Le knew, the only creature that met these two characteristics was the werewolf.The reason why Bai Le knew this information was because the first Patriarch White was scratched by a mad werewolf in the woods, and only then did he meet the later unicorn wife.However, as far as Bai Le knew, werewolves were very dangerous creatures. They went berserk every time the moon was full and no one could stop them. Is it really safe for such students to study at Hogwarts?And it sounds like this student will probably be in the same class as Seaver.Bai Le couldn't help but feel a little worried about the safety of his little boy at Hogwarts.

"I hope Xifu won't have any connection with this student", Bai Le could only hope so in the end.

Walking into the butcher shop, Bai Le saw a delicious roast chicken still hanging in the window on the left. Inside the shop, he saw Linda washing a basin of fresh strawberries.That's right, Bai Le plans to make strawberry jam with Linda this week. This is Bai Le's Christmas present for little Snape.

"You came at just the right time, wash your hands, and we can start making jam," Linda said to Bai Le who had just entered the door in an excited tone.Linda is the same as Bai Le. Among so many kinds of jams, such as blueberry jam, raspberry jam (Raspberry), apricot jam (Apricot) and so on, she only has a soft spot for this strawberry jam.So when Bai Le proposed to make strawberry jam as a Christmas gift, Linda agreed without hesitation.

In fact, Bai Le only made strawberry jam with his own hands once, and it was when he was at White's house with the house elf.It was a semi-failure that time. It seemed that the heat was not enough when the syrup was boiled, and the strawberry jam was not sweet at all.

Bai Le first removed the stems of the washed strawberries, picked out those that were too ripe and soft, and cut the oversized strawberries in half so that they could be heated evenly in the pot later.Then put the strawberries into the stew pot, add lemon juice, heat on low heat, when the strawberries are completely juiced, add 6 kg of white sugar, keep stirring the liquid in the pot until the sugar is completely dissolved, then turn on the high heat and boil the liquid for about [-] minutes.

Bai Le felt that the strawberry jam was almost cooked, so he used a small spoon to pour a small spoonful of the liquid in the pot onto the plate, put the plate in the refrigerator for about 2 minutes, and then took it out.Bai Le touched the liquid with his hand, and was pleased to see that the liquid in the plate had begun to gel, which meant that the jam was ready to be formed.

I tasted it again, um~, not bad, the sweet and sour is just right.Satisfied with the result, Bai Le first used a spoon to stir the jam liquid in the pot well, then turned off the fire and let the liquid stand for 10 minutes to fully expand the inside of the pot. 10 minutes later, canning is done!

Bai Le happily looked at the bright red jam jar with strawberry flesh floating in it, imagining the expression on the little boy's face when he received his present on Christmas Eve, and his heart became sweet with joy.

"Although this strawberry jam is delicious, it won't make you sweet until now." Linda sat on a small stool, leisurely eating the freshly baked strawberry jam with a small spoon, looking at it with a smile in her eyes Looking at Bai Le who was smirking across the way,

"But your skills in making strawberry jam are really good. It seems that the house elves in the White family are very good at cooking"

"That's right, Meimei can cook a lot of delicious food." Bai Le showed a very proud expression.

'Speaking of which, I will be making Roast Goose on Christmas Eve. If it is convenient for you, you can come and pick up some in the afternoon.Don't refuse, even if it's my return gift for your delicious strawberry jam, not to mention that I can't eat a whole roast goose by myself.If Jack is here...' Speaking of which, Bai Le saw the faint sadness on Linda's face again.

Bai Le really couldn't bear to see Linda immersed in this sadness again, so she jumped to Linda's side, poured out a mouthful of jam with a small spoon, and handed it to Linda's mouth.

Linda, who came back to her senses, saw the bright red strawberry jam that Bai Le handed her, and showed a smile. She put a small spoonful of strawberry jam into her mouth, and the sweet and sour feeling seemed indescribable. vitality.

The whole afternoon passed in the leisurely joy of the two of them eating and chatting.

Soon it was Christmas Eve, and Bai Le successfully brought back half a roast goose from Linda while Snape and Irene went to church in the afternoon.The fragrant smell instantly filled the whole room.

Little Snape, who came home alone, naturally smelled the scent, picked up the little fox that rushed into his arms, little Snape raised his eyebrows and interrogated the little guy, "Let me guess what happened this time?" What is it, grilled chicken leg or grilled fish? '

The little fox shook his head triumphantly, and signaled the little boy to go back to the room to have a look.Little Snape, who walked back to the room, opened the oiled paper package on the table, and saw half a roast goose inside which was filled with enthusiasm.

Just as the little boy was about to ask if it was taken from your friend again, he saw the little fox holding a square box wrapped in red cardboard in his hand.Little Snape took the box from the little fox's eagerly looking eyes. He gently opened the package, and saw that there were two cans of strawberry jam and a card in the box.Little Snape opened the card and saw 'MerryChristmas, Severus (Merry Christmas, Severus)' written in thin crooked script inside.

Looking at such an ordinary sentence in front of him, for some reason, little Snape's heart felt as if it was overwhelmed with joy and happiness mixed with strong emotions (overwhelmed with joy and happiness), and his heart was warm, as if there was a warm current flowing.He thought that even if he drank the Elixir to Induce Euphoria, it would be nothing more than that.

Bai Le watched the little boy staring blankly at the card, not knowing what happened.She pulled the little boy's arm with her little paw, trying to bring him back to his senses.

Little Snape recovered from his agitated emotions, raised his head and saw the puzzled look of the little fox looking at him, he opened his mouth, and said in a slightly embarrassed voice,

'But I didn't prepare a present for you'

After hearing this, Bai Le immediately shook his head, grabbed the little boy's hand, and gently wrote in his palm, 'I have you (Ihaveyou)'

Suddenly, Snape felt an urge to hug the little fox into his arms, and he did.

Bai Le, who was tightly hugged, could clearly feel the beating of the little boy's heart in his chest, but Bai Le, who was strangled so hard that he couldn't breathe, felt a strange, inexplicable feeling in his heart. Feelings of excitement and joy.Happiness...is this what happiness feels like?

Little Snape, who held the little fox tightly in his arms and rested his head on the little fox's head, felt that this might be the best Christmas he had ever had.

The author has something to say: 1. The recipe of strawberry jam was found by the author from the BBC, and I have never made it myself, so please don’t take it too seriously.

2. The main purpose of writing this chapter is to continue to sweeten it. In the next chapter, the little professor will receive the admission letter from Hogwarts
