279 gifts
"This is-" Just as Hugo was looking at the Christmas gifts one by one, Hermione suddenly took out a golden bracelet with gems inlaid from the silver box that looked very beautiful.
Hugo could tell at a glance that this was a protective bracelet made by the ship girls with branches, leaves and scales of the golden oak tree. So he knew it, "Is this golden?"
"Oh, probably not." After a brief check, Hermione said relaxedly. After all, she was just a teenage girl now, so she would naturally become alert when she saw expensive gifts.
"The whole thing feels light in the touch, but it feels a bit like metal. So I think it might be made with a lighter metal like aluminum."
"As for the gem above, it doesn't look like a stone, but rather like a plastic feel. I've seen this type of jewelry in Hogsmeade before, saying that it was made of some kind of gum."
Obviously, humans' love for various precious metals and jewelry comes from the heart, so Hermione also visited the wizards' jewelry when she visited Hogsmeade before, so she also had some understanding of some of the wizards' specialties.
"This thing was sent by Venetto, and it was indeed a good Christmas gift." After looking at the mailer on the wrapper, Hermione nodded and said, then put the bracelet on her wrist.
It has to be said that after obtaining a lot of information about alchemy and Ravenclaw's crown, the ship girls mastered powerful alchemy techniques. Therefore, even if there is a large amount of alchemy effects on this protective bracelet, there is basically no magic leak.
Therefore, Hermione did not discover the preciousness of this bracelet at all, but treated it as a beautiful little decoration with a wizard characteristic and wore it directly on her wrist.
In addition to Venetto, Fireflies also gave Hermione a sharp sheathed dagger. According to the attached paper note, this dagger has a variety of magic attached to it, which can easily cut most things.
"Why do I feel that you have more Christmas gifts this year than in previous years?" Hermione suddenly raised her head and said when she was about the same gifts as she dismantled.
After all, compared with the gifts Hugo received on Christmas in the past few years, this year's pile of gifts is much more visible than in previous years, and it is even more obvious from the size of the gifts.
"I think it might be related to my second place in the last alchemy competition." Hugo said, stuffing the last Mandelagra powder in the box into his suitcase where the space spell was imposed.
Hugo did not deceive Hermione at this point, because after the alchemy competition during the summer vacation, he was the youngest among the contestants at that time, so he naturally became a favorite of many people.
Therefore, after the game, he received a large number of letters of communication, and several famous alchemists even expressed their willingness to accept him as his apprentice.
In this case, Hugo naturally kept in touch with many alchemists and their students. So on Christmas Day, both sides would naturally give each other gifts.
Of course, the gifts from the alchemists are just an external reputation. The real gift-giving comes from those ship girls, who finally found a chance to give things to Hugo while hiding their identities.
Fortunately, every gift we gave was given back, otherwise it would be too rude." After all the gifts were put away, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. "I just don't know if other people would like the gifts we gave."
"I can't believe it." Just as Hugo was talking to his sister, Harry, who was far away in Hogwarts, took out a beautiful flying broom from a long package.
This broom was his previous two thousand bare wheels. The attack of the giant squid in the Black Lake had been broken into several pieces, but after Hugo's maintenance, it was at least swept from the appearance and recovered.
However, unlike the original broom, in order to repair the fatal injury on this flying broom, Hugo used a lot of precious metals to reconnect the damaged alchemy structure so that the internal structure of the broom can be restored to operation.
At the same time, with the help of the ship girls, the appearance of these newly connected alchemy structures has been redesigned and bas-reliefs are added to match those leaking metal wires and metal sheets, making the entire broom full of gorgeous Rococo style.
"It seems that Hugo's level in alchemy is better than we think. No wonder my two brothers have been making something with him." Looking at the broom floating in the air, Ron also made a surprised voice.
"After this modification, this broom has become a work of art. If you take it to Diagon Alley to sell it, someone will definitely be willing to buy this broom for 2,000 yuan. In that case, your new broom—"
"I will never sell this broom. After all, this is my first broom and a gift from a friend." After listening to Ron's suggestion, Ha shook his head vigorously and said. "As for the broom, I always think of a solution."
At the same time, the Hogsmeade company brought Sirius, who had become a dog, to the jungle outside the town, and Sirius became a human.
"I'm going to buy a broom for my godson." As soon as it turned into a human form, Sirius's first words to the company were related to Harry. "His old broom broke, and the first game after Christmas was the Gryffindor game."
"Calm down, Black." Looking at Black, who was much better than before, but still had some mental problems, the company stared at the other party, "How did you buy a broom for Harry? Don't forget that you are still wanted--"
"I can buy a broom for Harry through Gringot's transfer." Black looked dissatisfied. "For senior customers of Gringot Bank, the fairies will get money as long as they see the mark, and they will strictly keep the customers confidential."
"This confidentiality procedure is very strict. Even the Ministry of Magic cannot pursue economic circulation for senior customers. So no one will know that the new broom was given to Harry."
"Then what's your name for Harry?" asked the company with a helpless look on his face. "Don't forget that you still have the suspicion of killing Harry now. I even think you may be tampering with this broom and committing a murder."
"Damn, damn-" Because of the period of recuperation, Sirius's condition has improved a little. So after being told by the company, he immediately reacted.
"If I'm anonymous-no, I can't do that. Anonymous looks more like a dark wizard did, but it doesn't work for someone else's words-"
Sirius muttered to himself and circled around in circles, looking more and more anxious.
"If it really doesn't work, I have a plan here." The company also knew that Sirius was impulsive all his life, so in order to avoid him from making any bad decisions, the company quickly came up with a solution.
