Take things as they come at Hogwarts

"Tom, don't underestimate anyone. Although Lockhart is incompetent, he can deceive so many people, and he is still a little clever. His weakness is that he likes to listen to praise, and if you try to adore him, he will soon fall......

I'll pretend to be a fan of his, write fan letters and give you as a Christmas present.

I'm set up as a wizard traveling around the world, and you're my best travel companion.

I stumbled upon you and embarked on a journey to fulfill your wish and let you see more of the wonders of the world.

Our journey was exciting enough, but after reading Lockhart's book, I realized that my experience over the years was nothing compared to Lockhart!

As I grew older and my health deteriorated, I decided to entrust you to Lockhart and accompany him to continue writing legends around the world......"

Locke threw out a bunch of settings, and Tom was dizzy to hear it.

But he still kept it in his heart, because it was related to his resurrection plan, and of course he would take it seriously.

Seriously, while Lockhart is undoubtedly stupider and better to deal with, he would have preferred to stay here with Locke.

Because Locke seemed to understand him, which was very rare, no, should I say never had an experience!

Unfortunately, before the resurrection, I was not qualified to ask for anything.

Moreover, being completely held by Locke now also made him very uneasy.

From this 203 perspective, it might be a good thing to leave Locke early.

After Locke wrote his fan letter to Lockhart, he randomly made up a name to end it.

He then wrapped the box containing his diary in Lockhart's favorite forget-me-not blue paper, tied it with a lavender-colored ribbon, and even sprayed Lockhart's favorite perfume.

Then he was busy packing Christmas presents for Hermione, Harry, Ron, Neville, Luna, the professors, and Madam Pomfrey.

Locke was busy for hours before dinner to get everything ready and deliver them to the owl hut.

It's a nice evening, maybe the owls won't have to brave the snow to give Christmas presents this year, as they did in previous years?

And it wasn't until after the turkey dinner was eaten at the dinner that Locke remembered to go back to the dormitory and write a letter to Dumbledore.

As a token of gratitude to Dumbledore for allowing him to be intimate with Tom for a few days, Locke not only told Dumbledore the details of his deal with Tom, but also disclosed in the letter information about Horcruxes that he had detected (tricked), which was as follows:

The number of Horcruxes Voldemort intended to make was six, so that with the addition of himself, it would be a soul divided into seven...... After all, 7 is a magic number.

But not sure how many he has made by now.

I'm not sure if Voldemort knows about Harry's situation, but Harry, he should have learned Occlumency earlier.

In addition, a suspected Ravenclaw crown was found in the "room where things are hidden" in the Room of Requirement, and it should have been made into a Horcrux, so please pay attention to the headmaster!

The rest of the Horcruxes may have something to do with the relics of the four founders, because Tom is a very particular person, and his behavior is full of pride and ritual.

The Fire Spell is suspected to be capable of destroying Horcruxes.

Tom is very jealous of the principal, and may have cursed some Horcruxes and set traps, please cherish your life and be cautious!

Finally, Merry Christmas with a pair of thickened wool socks!

......

Yes, when preparing gifts for the professors before, Locke had forgotten to prepare Dumbledore's.

I don't know if it's because I've been with Tom, a bad boy, for a long time, he has subconsciously stood on the opposite side of Dumbledore, forgetting that he and Dumbledore actually have a good relationship.

Fortunately, the thickened wool socks have long been purchased, and it is not a rush to add a temporary gift.

Anyway, Locke used his wand to send a signal by the window, and Blackie would obediently come over to receive his mail.

Blackie is still quite useful.

After Dumbledore's gift was also sent, Locke was left with nothing to do.

Unlike Ron and Harry, who were full of anticipation and couldn't sleep, Locke slept soundly tonight, which was even more rare, and he didn't have a dream.

But tonight was a bit of a torment for Tom.

He regretted it when he got back into the box.

I was worried that when I "looked" the scene outside again, it was not Lockhart who I would see, but Dumbledore.

In this case, December 25, 199 (ahaa) 2 arrived.

Early that morning, early in the morning, Harry and Ron slipped out of the dorm room and into the common room to receive their Christmas presents. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Hermione and Ginny, on the other hand, don't need to be like this.

In the past two days, the relationship between the two girls has improved rapidly, and they can already sleep in the same bed.

As long as they open the window of one dormitory and put a note on the window of the other dormitory that says "Please send it to the dormitory next door", they can get their gifts as soon as possible without bumping into the boys or getting cold.

And when they arrived at Ginny's dormitory in their pajamas a little earlier than Harry and Ron, and after finding their respective gifts, they hesitated for a moment and decided to open them in front of each other.

Ginny was more straightforward, first finding Harry's box, opening it, and then, discovering a delicate silver metal clover hairpin.

Ginny was overjoyed, while Hermione, who was next to her, couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking that Harry was plagiarism, just too lazy!

But she still put down the Christmas gift box sent by her parents and reached for Locke's gift box.

I was going to tear it down at the end, but there were no surprises anyway, no, it's not a surprise, after all, it was made by Locke himself......

Hermione's heart pounded and she opened the box, and then couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

Because, the box is not the hairpin she thought it was, but a delicate and cute necklace. []

At the same time, the small card was also printed in Hermione's eyes:

"Merry Christmas, Hermione, may it protect you!"

Hermione carefully picked up the card, and when she saw the familiar and beautiful font on it, she felt the urge to use it as a bookmark.

"It's beautiful, is this a gift made by Locke himself?Hermione, can you put it on for me to see now?" Ginny also noticed the gift that Locke gave Hermione, and was very envious.

But it was already a surprise for her to receive a gift like Harry's, and she couldn't ask for too much for the time being.

It's Hermione, didn't the relationship with Locke just have a big setback, but I didn't expect it to change now?

"Okay. I don't know much about marine mammals like dolphins, but this chain is cute!" Hermione put the necklace around her neck with a smile, and immediately felt the magical power contained in the necklace.

Hermione was surprised, but she didn't expect that this was still an alchemy magic equipment.

Hermione wasn't going to study its effects right now, though, because Ginny was still around.

Hermione isn't the same person she was a year ago. She understands that it's not a good thing to show off her gifts too much to her friends who are also girls.

Although surprised that Locke was already able to craft alchemical equipment, Hermione did not suspect that the necklace was not made by Locke.

After all, this unique aesthetic style, this magical power gives her the feeling, everything is too familiar. It's as if Locke is guarding himself!

Anyway, Hermione is in only one mood now, and that is surprise + nourishment + honey!.
