“I’m tired, I’m still just a kid.”
Lying in bed, Zhang Dong couldn’t help but feel he had underestimated the work Professor Flitwick had given him.
He had no choice, after all, he had taken fifteen points from Flitwick for the reason of triple pay during holidays.
Professor Flitwick was also in pain for giving it out.
This fifteen points given out, the last place this year would change from Gryffindor to Hufflepuff.
Sigh, it seems to have no impact on us Ravenclaws, well, never mind.
“He who can, works more, but Zhang Dong, aren’t you going to look at your Christmas gifts?” Ron reminded Zhang Dong.
It’s Christmas, looking at gifts should be the happiest thing for everyone. At this time, even if you’re so tired that you can’t move, you have to open your gifts.
Besides, Zhang Dong was just a little bit empty after using up his magic, his physical strength was still full.
“Then let’s start opening presents.”
Zhang Dong jumped out of bed with a somersault and ran to the pile of gifts, looking at the gifts he received. Of course, he didn’t forget to give out his own gifts.
“Harry, Ron, here are yours.” Zhang Dong handed them two gift boxes. He had already given out the gifts to others.
“Zhang Dong, thanks, by the way, this is a gift for you.”
Harry and Ron also gave their gifts to Zhang Dong. Ron couldn't wait to open the box, and saw a brand new hamster cage inside, and the cage was made of aluminum alloy, absolutely strong!
“This is amazing! Scabbers, you have a new home!”
Ron happily opened the hamster cage and put Scabbers inside.
And Harry Potter also opened his Christmas gift, and saw a delicate photo frame inside the box.
“Thank you, Zhang Dong.” Harry said gratefully, “This is the best gift I’ve ever received, although I still don’t know which picture I should put in it.”
Zhang Dong smiled and said, “No rush, maybe you’ll have a picture to put in it soon.”
And although Harry didn’t understand what Zhang Dong meant, he still felt full of emotion and gratitude as he looked at the photo frame. After all these years, he finally received a normal Christmas gift.
Meanwhile, Ron’s voice continued to sound.
“This is Hermione’s gift! Oh my God, it’s Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans! I don’t like to eat this! She didn’t ask me about my favorite flavor beforehand.”
Harry also curiously opened his own gift box, which contained horseshoe-shaped chocolates.
“It seems that mine is better than yours, Ron. At least mine tastes better.”
“Oh, forget it, Scabbers, I’ll give it all to you.” Ron directly poured a bag of Every Flavour Beans into the new hamster cage, and Scabbers didn’t seem to be picky about his food and ate happily.
Ron stroked Scabbers’ fur, then looked at Zhang Dong’s box and asked:
“Zhang Dong, what kind of snacks did Hermione give you?”
“I don’t know, I’ll open it and take a look.” Zhang Dong said as he opened the box in front of him. But to Ron’s surprise, inside lay an orange and red striped scarf, and there was a piece of paper in the box that read:
“Hope this scarf can bring you some warmth this winter - Hermione.”
“Oh! This is different from ours!” Ron looked at Zhang Dong’s scarf with envy.
This scarf was obviously much more expensive than their snacks, and in comparison, their gifts seemed like they were randomly chosen.
Zhang Dong smiled, then put the scarf directly around his neck, and it was really warm, obviously made of good wool.
And Harry didn’t care, his attention was completely focused on his own gift.
His aunt and uncle had given him fifty pence...enough to buy two hamburgers. But Harry didn’t need money, so he directly gave the fifty pence to Ron, who was very happy. Not because he was short of money, but because he saw muggle currency for the first time.
Ron’s mom also gave Harry a sweater, which made Harry very happy. As for Zhang Dong, Ron gave him a big box of fudge, apparently made by his family. Zhang Dong ate one, the taste was really good.
And Harry gave him a cooking magic book, "Cook up a Feast", Harry said he heard that Chinese food culture is rich, so he specially bought this book hoping Zhang Dong could use magic to cook in the future, which would be more convenient.
Zhang Dong helplessly accepted it. He wanted to say,
Not every Chinese person can cook a full imperial banquet, okay!
But he still politely expressed his thanks.
And finally, Harry finally opened the last box.
The moment the box opened, a shiny silver-gray object slid onto the ground like liquid.
The moment he saw this thing, Zhang Dong knew.
Finally, the first Deathly Hallow appeared.
“What is this?” Harry picked up the thing and examined it curiously in his hand.
“If I’m not mistaken, this is a very precious Deathly Hallow, called the Invisibility Cloak.” Zhang Dong explained briefly.
The legend of the Deathly Hallows has been circulating in the wizarding world for a long time, but for most people, it’s just a legend. Mastering the three Deathly Hallows can make you the "Master of Death", it sounds ridiculous even to think about.
Even Dumbledore believes, “The so-called legend of the Deathly Hallows is more likely that the Peverell brothers were all powerful and dangerous wizards who created these incredibly powerful Deathly Hallows themselves, and then fabricated some kind of legend around these inventions.”
But Harry, of course, didn’t know this, he didn’t even know what Deathly Hallows were. He excitedly put the cloak on and stood in front of the mirror, and now he saw that the part of himself covered by the cloak seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving only a head outside, which looked quite funny.
And Zhang Dong looked at the Invisibility Cloak with envy.
To be honest, he didn’t care about the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone, after all, the magic items he got from the system are no less magical than them.
But the Invisibility Cloak...
What man hasn't had the desire to sneak into the women's bathroom while invisible? But it’s just a thought, even if Zhang Dong learns the Invisibility Charm in the future, he won’t do it. But that doesn’t stop him from thinking about it.
Think about it, is it even illegal?
But on the other hand, Harry thought completely differently. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
“Wearing this, can I go anywhere! Even Filch won’t catch me, right!”
Seeing Harry’s expectant and delighted expression, Zhang Dong knew.
This kid, he’s not going to do anything good, is he.
