In fact, just two days later, Hogwarts went on Christmas break.
Due to the Triwizard Tournament and the Yule Ball, few people went home during the holidays this year.
The professors assigned a lot of homework as usual.
But almost everyone has no intention of caring about those things.
Everyone has already fallen into a sea of joy.
Heavy snow fell on the castle and grounds.
Beauxbatons' light blue carriage looks like a big pumpkin covered in frost in winter, and the little gingerbread house sprinkled with frosting next to it is Hagrid's cabin.
A layer of ice formed on the side of Durmstrang's ship, which became smooth and translucent, and the sail ropes were also stained with a layer of hoarfrost.
Every day, a large number of students gather in the snow, run, play, and occasionally have a large snowball fight, and then shake the snowflakes all over the castle, leaving wet and dirty footprints on the floor.
, provoking Filch's filial piety.
But in this jubilant atmosphere, John seemed extremely busy.
He not only had to shoulder the task of monitoring Moody, but also urged Michael to continue investigating Bagman and Crouch.
Also prepare the Christmas gifts to give this year.
Compared to previous years, this Christmas gift is much more special and complicated.
Mainly because John always remembered to give a proper gift to the kind-hearted Mrs. Weasley.
In addition, the gift given to Michelle this year must be special and meaningful.
And Snape and McGonagall.
These two professors are the closest John and Michelle are to each other at Hogwarts.
They gave both of them a lot of help.
Especially some time ago, they really gave John and Michelle a lot of support.
Of course, John thought Snape was more of a disservice.
But John had to admit that Snape still meant well.
He just doesn't have the talent or experience in love.
Therefore, the gifts that should be prepared must be prepared and must be meaningful to satisfy these two people.
Apart from this, the most important thing at hand for John is still preparations for attending the Christmas ball.
In the week before Christmas, John was almost too busy to keep his feet off the ground.
Except for the few hours he spends with Michelle Niwai every day, discussing dresses, jewelry, and dance matters, he is almost always busy.
It wasn't until the night before Christmas that John really settled most of the things. After enjoying a sumptuous Christmas dinner with Michelle, Draco, Harry and others, John fell asleep peacefully.
Before going to bed, he still had a bright smile on his face.
Because he is confident, the gifts he prepares will surely satisfy everyone.
…
Early next morning.
Wes comes to the Burrow.
Although the children including Charlie, Bill, Percy and Ron did not come back for Christmas this year, the Christmas atmosphere in the Burrow is still very strong.
Nowadays, the whole house is decorated with various lanterns, licorice candies and other decorations.
There is also a Christmas tree standing in the living room on the first floor.
Mr. Weasley got up early and began to take care of the housework.
As soon as he came downstairs, he saw several gift boxes piled under the Christmas tree.
The number of gift boxes is not large and the size is not large.
After a brief inspection, I found that these were all greeting cards and some small gifts sent by the children.
Although it was not valuable, Mr. Weiss was still very happy.
After all, this is what the children want.
After appreciating it for a while, Mr. Weasley restored all the gifts to their original state and put them back under the Christmas tree - he wanted Mrs. Weasley to experience the joy of opening gifts.
Immediately afterwards, he started cooking, cleaning, clearing the snow, feeding pigs, chickens...
Mr. Weasley obviously doesn't do much housework.
The tasks that Mrs. Weasley was accustomed to doing became very difficult and hard under his hands.
But he is still persisting.
Because this is the result of his taking the initiative.
The purpose is to allow Mrs. Weiss, who has worked hard for a whole year, to have a comfortable sleep.
But what he didn't know was that Mrs. Weasley had actually woken up long ago.
At this moment, Mrs. Weasley was hiding in the dark, smiling and watching him work clumsily.
Life at Wes Lai's house was very difficult and difficult.
Due to Mr. Weasley's upright character and pro-Muggle character, he was suppressed in the Ministry of Magic.
In addition, he has the habit of extravagance and waste.
Therefore, his salary is simply not enough to maintain the operation of this big family.
The family had been sustained to a large extent by the fields and livestock maintained by Mrs. Weissley.
But Mrs. Weasley never regretted marrying Mr. Weasley.
She recognized Mr. Weasley's ideas.
She loves this silly Arthur.
Of course, the most important thing is that Arthur loves her too.
As long as the children are away, Arthur will bring her a small gift after get off work every day.
Sometimes it's a bouquet of flowers, sometimes it's an apple, sometimes it's a bag of fragrant cupcakes.
He would always say that he picked it along the way and bought it.
But how could a wizard with [Apparition] and Floo Network have the concept of a smooth path?
This was obviously done deliberately by Mr. Weiss.
After accepting the gifts, they will have a dinner together, which may not be that sumptuous, and then dance to the music played by the old gramophone in the slightly crowded living room...
This is a habit they have maintained since their wedding.
Recalling those beautiful scenes from the past, Mrs. Weasley's nose became a little sore.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and turned around to go to the kitchen to reprocess the food Mr. Weissley had cooked.
Otherwise, with Mr. Weissley's terrible cooking skills, they won't be able to eat it later.
However, she just turned her head and saw a huge glass greenhouse erected next to the burrow.
Mrs. Weasley frowned. The emotion in her heart disappeared and was replaced by anger.
"Arthur——"
She yelled, "What did you spend your money on to buy something again!?"
"Ah? I didn't!"
As Arthur spoke, he ran over from the pigsty holding a large wooden spoon for stirring pig food.
Mrs. Weasley ignored him and walked angrily to the greenhouse.
But when she actually opened the door and entered, she was shocked to find a big sign hanging inside, which clearly read:
[To the kind Mrs. Molly Weasley]
【Wish you a Merry Christmas】
【John Shafiq;Michelle Shafiq】
There is also a book and a bulging bag tied with a string under the big sign.
Among them, the bag contains seeds of various magic herbs, and the book contains instructions on how to grow magic herbs and the use and maintenance of the greenhouse.
This is John's gift to Mrs. Weasley, a professional magic greenhouse.
It's actually not that different from the warming tent John installed inside his magic suitcase.
John's greenhouse, under Dobby's management, is now able to steadily produce magical herbs such as mandrake and white fresh herbs.
It's just that after John got Black's property, he didn't think much of such a small gain.
But for the Wesla family, the income that this greenhouse can produce is absolutely huge!
John believed that with this greenhouse and Mrs. Weiss's diligence, the days of Weiss's family would be better and better.
Mr. Weissley also arrived at the greenhouse.
After roughly reading the entire "Instruction Manual", Mrs. Weasley's eye circles turned red.
"This child...how could this child give such an expensive gift?" Mrs. Weasley choked, "No! We have to give it back! The gifts we gave them cannot be compared with this, and we cannot let the children
Suffering..."
While talking, Mrs. Weasley prepared to write a letter.
But Mr. Weasley caught her and held her in his arms.
"Oh, what are you doing! Don't hold me back, you have to write a letter! We are already an old couple..."
Mrs. Weasley was still struggling as she spoke.
"Don't go, this is a gift from the children. If you really go back, the children will be sad. John and Michelle are both good children. They must have put a lot of thought into this gift.
"Mr. Wesley said with some emotion, "I am sorry for you, Jasmine. I am too useless and cannot give you a rich and comfortable life. If I..."
Mr. Weasley's mouth was suddenly covered by Mrs. Weasley.
At this moment, Mrs. Weasley finally stopped struggling.
She also hugged her husband.
As the two looked at each other affectionately, a blush appeared on Mrs. Weasley's extremely rough face.
"oops--"
Mrs. Weasley suddenly became shy and began to hit Mr. Weasley's chest with her small fists as she had done when she was a girl.
But she forgot one thing.
She is no longer the pretty girl she was when she was young.
Time has tempered her into a strong and capable wife and mother.
Her fist hit Mr. Weasley's chest, causing a series of muffled sounds and making Mr. Weasley's face look painful.
But even so, Mr. Weasley did not stop his wife.
There was a smile hanging from the corner of his eyes, showing real pain and happiness.
And at the same time.
Inside the Potions office.
Snape was also looking at a gift box outside his bedroom door in a daze.
