Chapter 232 Professor Flitwick's Prize

Preparing Christmas gifts is a bit of a headache.

Thousands of years ago, people were not so particular. They focused their main energy on the feasts during the festival. According to the rules of the Muggle Church, they had to practice "fasting" for nearly a month before Christmas, and then wait until Christmas to start a twelve-day carnival.

Feasts, dances, festivals, clown shows... Although there are fewer entertainments than modern people, people are also trying to have fun. After all, this is one of the few happy times for civilians throughout the year. It's just that this kind of hard work and indulgence is not very healthy.

Gifts are much simpler than now. Godric likes all kinds of armor, weapons, and protective gear; Helga prefers recipes and precious ingredients; Rowena can be satisfied with books; I don't have a clear preference, and I accept all gifts.

After careful consideration, Rice also prepared corresponding gifts for his friends.

Daphne and Astoria need not be mentioned. Rice gave Astoria a snake-shaped bracelet with the same spell as Daphne's necklace. Rice is not partial when it comes to preparing self-defense props for students.

The Christmas gift Rice prepared for Daphne was a feather pen with automatic Latin error correction function. The Latin manuscript she translated last time left a deep impression on Rice, so Rice felt that it was urgent to give her such a feather pen.

He really didn't have the energy to teach the little girl Latin grammar anymore, so he just gave her a feather pen that can correct errors!

Hermione, the child recognized by Ravenclaw, will naturally get a gift. Rice bought her a few fairy tale books from the magic world, hoping that she can relax after studying.

For Harry, who tried to "open up" to him last night, Rice also prepared a gift for him - a set of flying broom maintenance tools, and he believed that Harry would like it. As for whether Harry's broom would burst out with stronger performance after being carefully maintained, and then beat the Slytherin team in the Quidditch match? Rice felt that it was not worth his worry, because he couldn't beat them anyway.

For some other little wizards who knew and were familiar with him, Rice also prepared corresponding gifts, and the main focus was on being watertight.

However, a lonely old ghost trapped underground was destined not to receive Christmas gifts, because even if Rice sent an owl express, the unlucky owl could not pass through the seal of the dungeon. Rice believed that Rowena would definitely understand, anyway, they didn't give each other gifts before!

It was late at night when the last gift was sent by owl. Rice returned to his bedroom and fell asleep in anticipation.

As for what gifts he could receive, Rice was still quite looking forward to it: who could resist the temptation to tear open the gift packaging?

The next morning, after Rice turned over and sat up from the bed, his eyes were immediately attracted by the pile of gifts under the Christmas tree. He was not short of money, and these gifts were dispensable to him, but what made him happy was the act of receiving gifts.

Rice unpacked the gifts one by one, and then put them away with a smile. The gifts prepared by Daphne and Astoria were pressed at the bottom.

Astoria's package looked bulging, and Rice knew it was probably clothes or something.

When he opened it, he found that the little girl had knitted a scarf for him.

Although there was no special pattern on the scarf, the stitches were neat, and the silver and green interweaving color combination was also very beautiful. It was a work that took a lot of effort.

Rice happily tried to wear the scarf and found it quite comfortable. He immediately decided to use this scarf as his daily wear.

The last package was Daphne's. Her package was round, and after picking up the package, Rice couldn't help but squint: Could this be——?

After unpacking the package, a misty crystal ball actually rolled out from it.

Rice:? !

To be honest, he was shocked at first. He thought Daphne had found a way to fix the broken Ravenclaw crystal ball!

But soon his reason told him that this was impossible, because even with his magic level, this was a big project with a low success rate. If Daphne could fix the crystal ball in half a semester without telling him, he would definitely go to the principal's office with his wand to block the door and ask Dumbledore to step down as soon as possible.

After carefully observing the crystal ball Daphne gave him, Les was surprised: although this crystal ball was far inferior to the one from Ravenclaw, it was also quite exquisite.

The crystal ball was cast with a traceless expansion spell inside, and a model of the Hogwarts castle was stuffed inside.

"The traceless expansion spell is getting more and more proficient." From this crystal ball, Les saw Daphne's progress.

After collecting all the gifts from friends, Les walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom door, Les heard a scream -

"The prize that Professor Flitwick mentioned turned out to be this thing?!"

Les looked towards the source of the sound and found Daphne standing at the door of the bedroom in astonishment, holding a long and narrow package.

She had her hair loose, was barefoot, and was only wearing pajamas. It was obvious that she had just woken up and opened the gifts. The package in her hand was half opened, and a broom head was exposed from inside.

"Isn't this really a veiled insult to me?!" Daphne spread her hands and complained helplessly: "I'm not good at riding a broom!"

The reward for winning two consecutive duels was actually a flying broom!

I guess the little wizards on the Quidditch team were very envious, but for Daphne, this was purely useless, and even a bit of irony - she was the worst at flying on a broom.

"Open it all and see." Rice held back his smile and advised Daphne to open the whole package first. Maybe it wasn't as bad as she thought?

After completely removing the outer packaging, a broom that even Rice had to admit was very beautiful and beautiful appeared in front of the two, and a letter was attached to the package.

[Dear Miss Daphne Greengrass, I hope you like the broom in the package. This is the latest broom developed by a broom company owned by a friend of mine. It is said to have the best performance among all the brooms on the market, but it is not yet on the market. He gave me one, and I decided to give it to you as a prize for the duel competition. As a price, you will not get any prizes if you win first place in the duel competition in the future, haha! ——Filius Flitwick]

Daphne: ...

Rice laughed out loud.

"You can practice riding a broom more during Christmas. This broom should be very stable."

Rice made his own suggestions.
