In the early morning, relying on the biological clock, Alice opened her eyes in a daze, yawned and pressed the conch beside her pillow.It was a Christmas gift from Peggy, and it played back recorded voices.

Considering that reading at night hurts her eyes, Alice now reads in the morning instead, and by the way, records the sound into the conch, and plays it back by her pillow at night for review.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Alice, who was mentally prepared, mustered up her courage and lifted the quilt at once.The cold air hit instantly, and she shivered from the cold.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but then it is much easier.Alice speeded up and entered the bathroom, and her spirit in the mirror was a little sluggish.Alice was thoughtful, and immediately splashed cold water on her face the next moment.

The cheeks of the girl in the mirror were flushed, and Alice nodded in satisfaction, feeling much more energetic.

It was already 04:30 when the washing was finished, and she didn't dare to delay, so she rode on the bicycle with the paint peeled off.

At five o'clock sharp, a dozen children, big and small, had already lined up in the community square.The line moved quickly, but within 10 minutes Alice had already received today's newspaper.

"Valerian sprigs, Flobberworm slime, lavender..."

"Leaves of the ariot tree, wings of a billywig, fur of a thorn, fluff of a velvet, powdered horseradish..."

There was light snow in the sky, and Alice huddled her whole face in the scarf, while throwing the newspapers into each yard accurately, while humming to memorize the knowledge points.Although the semester is over, the holidays are a good time to overtake on corners.

The economy is still not improving, and delivering newspapers can't make much money today.But this is one of the few jobs that does not look at age, and she attaches great importance to it.

After delivering the newspapers, it was past [-]:[-] or almost [-]:[-], Alice returned the same way, and parked her bicycle in front of the "Avril Lavigne Cake Shop".

"Alice finished early today." Mrs. Rice hurriedly placed the tray in front of Alice, with a cup of hot chocolate milk and a piece of strawberry cake on it.

Sipping a sip of warm milk, paired with sweet strawberry cake, Alice felt her body and mind were warmed.

"Are you still used to school life? Can you keep up with your studies?" Mrs. Rice was a little worried.Although I didn't see Alice growing taller and fatter in one semester, it was a private boarding school that I had never heard of, and there were many scammers in this period.

"Very good." Alice put down the spoon and sat upright, "Report to Mrs. Rice, I got the first grade in this semester."

"I knew Alice was the best." Mrs. Rice laughed at Alice's funny look, "It's not like that kid in my family who knows how to make trouble every day."

For the best, Mrs. Rice's joy turned to worry.Tom knows how to fool around with those friends every day, and he doesn't know what to do with his future work.

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the door was pushed open, and a tall boy with green hair rushed in.

Seeing Alice, Tom's eyes lit up: "Alice, you are back! The Christmas present you gave is really great..."

Excited to himself, Tom ignored his mother's darkening face.

Alice couldn't recover for a moment: "Wait, you said you are Tom?!"

"Otherwise? You don't even know me, do you? I have changed so much?" Tom's tone was full of pride.

My impression of Tom is a short, black-haired scumbag, not a big tall guy who looks silly with green hair in front of him.Alice complained silently.

Due to Mrs. Rice's face, Alice replied very tactfully: "You have changed too much, especially your stature. I doubt whether you have taken hormones."

She carefully avoided the issue of hair color, and as expected, she saw Tom's disappointed expression.Although he knew that his old classmate was not very smart, he left for a semester unexpectedly, and Tom's EQ became negative.

Mrs. Rice was panting heavily, staring at Tom's hair, as if she was going to rush to pull it out in the next second.

"Okay, finished eating, I'm going to work." Before the start of the world war, Alice chose to escape from the battlefield.

Delivering newspapers in the morning and helping out at Mrs. Rice's cake shop in the morning, this is what Alice thought about before the holiday.

Although I don't make much money delivering newspapers, I still have enough money for two meals a day.The most important thing is that it can urge Alice to get up early and prevent her from slacking off during the holidays.

For the job in the cake shop, Alice refused the salary offered by Mrs. Rice, and only said that she hoped to manage one breakfast a day.Since the death of her grandmother, she has received a lot of care and help from Mrs. Rice, overtly and secretly, and Alice wants to do something to repay her.

There weren't too many customers in the cake shop today, so Alice took advantage of her free time to clean the inside and outside of the shop.

"Alice!"

Alice put down the rag and looked back, just as Tom was stalking behind a post and beckoning to her.

"Please, this is your shop. If you don't know it, you might think you're a thief." Alice walked over and pulled Tom out.

"Special circumstances, special circumstances." Relying on his strength, Tom broke free from Alice's shackles and slipped back behind the pillar.

"I want to ask..." Tom looked around like a thief, and lowered his voice even more, "Do you still have the candy that was sent last time?"

Alice can't laugh or cry, candy?Are you worthy of your green hair and rebellion?

"It's an internal special for the school. It's a holiday now, so I can't buy it anymore." Alice said nonsense without batting an eye. "When I start school, I will send you more."

"Okay, okay." Tom nodded wildly, blushing and stuffed a long gift box into Alice's hand, "This is my Christmas present."

When she got home, she unpacked it. It was a pen that looked cheap, with a pure black body and a gold lace cap.Alice, who had used a quill pen for a semester, was stunned for a while before she realized it.

In the years before she dropped out of school, she always used a pen to complete her homework.It's just that pens are cheap, but a good pen is expensive.And as we all know, being cheap means always going wrong in some weird places.

As a standard academic scumbag, Tom has a skill that others envy: he is always the first to borrow the notes of college bully Alice Hall.

"Why is the word blurred again?" Tom, who had copied his homework as a neighbor for countless times, looked at the notebook in front of him with a helpless expression.

"No way, the pen has a problem again, as long as you can see clearly." This is Alice's unchanging answer for thousands of years.

Now that Alice has long since left that school, Tom can no longer borrow notes, but he still remembers that Alice had a cheap pen that kept breaking down.

Alice was so moved that she copied "Hogwarts: A History of the School" with a pen in excitement.

In the last semester, she observed that the grading of the professor's homework depends not only on the content of the thesis itself, but also has a lot to do with the beauty of the words and the writing style of the students.

After discovering the problem, Alice acted quickly and began to practice calligraphy for an hour at a fixed time every afternoon. One of the ways was to copy the contents of the history of magic.

As for the writing style, Alice knows that it can't be done overnight, so she chooses to appreciate Shakespeare's works on weekends and learn his words and sentences.

According to her plan, the afternoon should be full of study time, but today is an exception.

After copying the history of magic for an hour, Alice felt a little uneasy: Today is the day to hand out the report card.

After looking out of the window for countless times, she finally waited for the owl.

"boom!"

Sooner or later, the windows of my house will be smashed by owls.Alice quickly ran to the window and skillfully picked up the envelope with the Hogwarts logo.

It was full of O's as far as the eye could see. Although she had expected it, she still breathed a sigh of relief.Wait, there's another card?

Heard we all have a sweet tooth, thought you might like this

PS. Thank you for the sweets, very delicious

PPS. I heard that Ravenclaw has a dessert master, I really hope to taste the master's work one day

The inscription is AD

Alice looked at the Honeydukes [-]% off card in her hand and was very happy.She decided to send her own strawberry cake to her dear principal when school started.

However, according to the statement on the advertising sheet, the Honeydukes VIP [-]% discount card will cost an astronomical amount.The principal won't be corrupt, right?

Leaving aside for a moment the questionable sources of funding for the greatest White Wizard of the century, Alice went to Honeydukes with a discount card.

Under the amazed and awe-inspiring eyes of the clerk, Alice held her head up, took out the [-]% off card, and then spent all the change she got from working during the holidays...

Looking at the candies piled up in front of her eyes, Alice touched her nose guilty.Not too many, Carrie, Peggy, Bill... Forget it, let each professor send another copy.

The money has already been spent, and it is useless to regret it.Alice turned her head and walked into Lihen Bookstore.

She has already seen through the routines of the merchants. All kinds of packages are just a way to distract customers. The point is to buy only the necessities.

"Wandering with Werewolves"?Alice looked at the introduction, and the young and handsome writer Gilderoy Lockhart became a hit with this book.

The wizard on the cover has blond hair and a big smile showing a row of white teeth.He's really handsome, but it's unnecessary to use his own photo as the cover of the book.

A Ravenclaw graduate, or his senior?Alice became interested.

The story of helping the village get rid of the scourge of werewolves is full of ups and downs, and the writing is gorgeous and elegant.After turning a few pages, she was in awe of her senior.

Although somewhat narcissistic, he is indeed brilliant.Alice put the book in the shopping cart, and she can lend it to Bill, who has always been interested in these adventure stories.

"Asian Antidrug Encyclopedia" is helpful for writing papers.Professor Snape said that the dissertation for the next semester will turn to the research-expanded type.

"The Wizard's Sonnet", which curses the reader to speak only in doggerel for the rest of his life?Thinking of the barren language of her thesis, Alice immediately put down the book.

Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?Alice is very interested in the textbooks of other schools, which helps her deepen her understanding of magic.Resolutely, she bought "The Magic of Chadwick" and a series of matching test papers.

Knowledge is indeed the most precious wealth.The holiday savings were almost exhausted, Alice sighed, and asked the clerk to mail the book home as soon as possible.

She planned to read through the first year textbooks at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the holidays.
