On the first morning of the holiday, I was the little baby of Mom and Dad.Wake up to a delicious breakfast hash with my favorite scrambled eggs, bacon and croissants.I was lazily lying on the sofa watching TV, my mother was mopping the floor, and my father was shoveling snow in the yard.

On my first afternoon off, I was an annoying little troll.Whether I am sitting or lying down, standing or laying down, my mother will always pick my mistakes.

"What are you doing standing here? Blocking me from seeing the snow scene!"

"Kelly! Why did you throw your scarf under the sofa and want me to pick it up for you?"

"Kelly! Look how dirty the soles of your shoes are, take a mop and clean them yourself!"

what!I mopped the floor angrily, we were going to go to grandparents' house soon, why should I mop the floor?Is it possible that during the time we are not at home, there are still guests coming?

Before the whole family went out, I went to the city to buy Christmas gifts alone with Ed who was across the door. I gave him a gift box of Honeydukes chocolates bought from Hogsmeade, or I begged Angelina to help me bring them back Yes, for this I also paid the price of a butterfly head flower.

I put it in a gold gift box and asked him to open it for Christmas, and he reluctantly obliged.

After that he went home first, and I went to Diagon Alley to continue shopping.Bought some nice Quidditch ornaments for Harry; a new wizard's chessboard for Ron, and a new little gray mouse; a stack of parchments and inkwells for Hermione; Lavender and Parvati bought a selection of Shakespeare's works and the new product Magic Acne Elixir respectively.

I also bought gifts from Angelina, Katie, Alia and other friends.It was a joy to buy, but when I needed to take them all away, I was completely dumbfounded. I could only drag them out of the Leaky Cauldron in despair and call my dear dad on the nearby payphone to pick me up.

After I sent all the gifts from my friends one by one, Claudia was exhausted, so I had to borrow the owl Xiaodou at home. The two owls flew out and back without stopping, and finally sent all the Christmas gifts It's all sent out.

I hurriedly prepared snacks and water for them, and put them on the window sill to watch them have a full meal. Then I patted Claudia's back guiltily, and she gave me a sideways glance, but finally she didn't peck me.

At dusk, we were about to set off for our grandparents’ house.As usual, Dad was the first to sprinkle the Floo powder, and disappeared with green smoke; Mom dawdled into the fireplace, slowly sprinkled the Floo powder, and shouted: "Morris' red brick house! " also disappeared.

Normally, I should be the second in, but I had to postpone it by 20 minutes because I waited too long for the owl.And when I got to the red brick house, almost everyone was there.

Grandpa Harold, a tall and energetic old man, used to be the head of the British and Irish Quidditch Union Command, and now he was rehired as a consultant in the ministry after retirement.

Grandma Melissa, she is a short, thin old lady, a bit nagging and picky, but always with a kind and sweet smile on her face.Her natal family owned a Muggle confectionery, and when we little wizards were growing up, we would always receive huge bags of Muggle bonbons from her.

Aunt Betty and Uncle Howard are a very sweet couple. Their relationship has always been very good. One year after their marriage, my cousin Scott and my cousin Linda were born.

Little Aunt Eva is a very chic witch. Since graduating from Hogwarts, she has traveled all over the world on adventures. She was not in the UK for many holidays, but she came back this Christmas!

"Aunt Eva!" I cheered, and jumped on her as soon as I climbed out of the fireplace, "I miss you so much! How are you traveling in China?"

"Wow! My little Kelly, you grow up so fast." Aunt Eva exclaimed, caught me firmly and turned me around in mid-air, "That's great, I'll give it back You've brought presents and are waiting for the surprises on Christmas morning."

Surrounded by us were Scott and Linda, twins who look nothing alike, fresh out of Hogwarts, yearning for Aunt Eva's world-traveling experience.

Seeing that I was pestering her, Linda reached out and hugged me: "Aunt Eva, leave her alone! Tell us about your story in Kunlun."

"That's right. What happened to that big snow monster?" Scott asked eagerly.

Although I wanted to stay and listen to Aunt Eva's adventure in China, but I had to say hello to other family members, so I could only leave the reception room aggrieved, and found my grandfather, father and uncle Howard who were shoveling snow outside. .

"Merry Christmas! Grandpa, Uncle Howard." I smiled and rushed up to hug Grandpa. He looked back at me, put down the shovel and picked me up with a smile: "My little monster is back, Is Kelly having a good time at Hogwarts?"

"Very happy! I have made a lot of good friends, and I can still keep up with my studies." I replied happily, and ran around them after getting off my grandfather.

Uncle Howard was shoveling snow while smoking a cigar. I recognized the cigar as my father's favorite brand, and I couldn't help but glance at him. He secretly bought cigars behind my mother's back again.

Dad coughed dryly and turned his head without looking at me, while Uncle Howard asked me: "Kelly, I heard that Harry Potter, the 'Boy Who Lived', was also studying at Hogwarts, right? What does it look like? Is it tall and burly, who can kill a toad with one punch?"

I silently thought about Harry's thin appearance, and then thought about the way he punched Neville's toad Raffle, and couldn't help but shiver: "Where did you hear the gossip, Harry is not like that Man. He's just a normal little boy who flies Quidditch so well! We Gryffindors won the game because of him."

Dad glanced at me again, I ignored him, and happily talked about Harry with my uncle and grandpa. I tried my best to let them know that Harry is not a "legendary figure", but a person who lives in the The little boy around us, the brave, shy, powerful little boy.

"Okay, okay." Dad couldn't help interrupting my continuous praise, he threw down the shovel and pushed me into the house, "You should go say hello to your grandma and aunts, don't disturb adults here We do things."

I snorted, and happily said goodbye to my uncle, who was still full of wishes. Grandpa had already shoveled the snow onto the path. In fact, my grandpa’s house didn’t have a Muggle car. I really don’t know what they were doing.

I walked into the kitchen following the smell of barbecue. Grandma was making her secret recipe of lamb chops, and Aunt Betty and Mom were helping to make other side dishes.But the atmosphere in the kitchen was not very good, because grandma was too fussy and nagging, and I noticed that my mother was almost on the verge of breaking out.

"Grandma! Aunt Betty! Merry Christmas!" I hurriedly interrupted Grandma's nagging about how to pick kale again. She looked back at me in surprise, and rubbed her hands on her apron with a smile. Opened his hands towards me: "Come on, my little Kelly."

I ran over and threw myself into grandma's arms. She always has a very sweet candy scent, and now it is stained with kitchen spices, but it still smells good.

"Little Kelly, are you hungry?" Grandma put me down and brought a plate of freshly baked chocolate biscuits from the counter. The biscuits were shaped like three kinds of Quidditch balls. I picked a golden snitch. After eating, it is fragrant and sweet.

Aunt Betty was kneading the dough, and she was watching us with a smile. My mother relaxed a lot and chatted with her softly.

"...Then Harry got the Snitch!" I told the game again vividly, and grandma showed various surprised and happy expressions very cooperatively, until her magic oven made a 'ding' sound, and then hurriedly She quickly returned to the battlefield that belonged to her: "Kelly, you go to the living room to play first, grandma is going to be busy."

I reluctantly agreed, lifted my legs and went back to the living room.At this time, the story of Aunt Eva has come to an end. Both Scott and Linda showed yearning and excited expressions. Linda also announced that she will travel to China with her friends next summer!

It’s still a while before dinner time, Scott and Linda are big kids, they won’t take me to play, they are hiding in the room, they don’t know what to do, I will be kicked out by them as long as I get closer; Eva My aunt also went into the kitchen to help, and my grandfather and the others went to the backyard to drive away the goblins, so I had to go out alone and wander around.

The red brick cottages of grandparents were designed and built by themselves, and the wizard houses in this area are basically built by themselves. After applying for a piece of land from the Ministry of Magic, they can create by themselves.

The roof of the red brick hut is made of olive green and reflective tiles, which are especially beautiful in the snowy weather. The dots on the eaves become a silver edge. Every year, grandpa needs to clean it manually, otherwise he will often raid a passing place. Man, pouring snow all over his body.

The houses of wizards are relatively far apart, and Muggle repelling spells have been cast. As long as Muggles want to come here, they will "accidentally" think of many other things to do and leave.

The red brick hut is in the middle of the village of Ottery-St. Mary and Ottery-St. Catchpole. I walked slowly along the edge of the forest, and soon left the red brick hut smoking green smoke. Behind the head, I walked to the side of a small river covered with a thick layer of ice.

I looked down at the shoes I was wearing today. They were non-slip snow boots, so I boldly stepped onto the ice layer and chased the small fish under the ice layer.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Suddenly a voice sounded, I was startled and stepped on the snow by the river, and fell hard on my stomach.The boy who frightened me by the sound immediately ran to my side and stretched out his hand to pull me up: "I'm really sorry, I just wanted to say hello. Are you a kid from the neighborhood?"

I raised my head angrily, but what I saw was a face that was not inferior to Mark Owen*. When I looked at him at such a close distance, I felt my heart stop beating a few times. This, is this a big star? ?

"Ugh. I'm coming over to my grandparents for Christmas..." I stammer, trying not to look dumb, "My name is Kelly Morris..."

"So you are from the red brick cottage. Hello, Kelly. Can I call you that?" He showed a very gentle smile, the sun seemed to be reflected on his face by the snow, shining brightly, " My name is Cedric Diggory, and I live in the front house."

Wow!I couldn't help swallowing.
