No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 856 Christmas Gift (Part )

Snape gave Ou Mengmeng and Harry a bottle of Felicity Potion, which touched them both. Ou Mengmeng and Harry each gave him an ancient book on Potions, both of which were found in the Room of Requirement. This book was not available in the school library, and the key point was that it had the Prince family crest on it.

Ou Mengmeng remembered that Snape called himself the Half-Blood Prince. His talent for potions was inherited from his mother, and the Prince family happened to be one of the declining ancient families. Although there was not much property left, Professor Snape would be very happy to find some small things from his maternal grandparents. Although he could not see his face now, it was not important.

Professor McGonagall gave her beloved "Little Petunia" a magic pendant that could protect her from the harm of the dark arts. Apparently, she had learned the truth behind Professor Quirrell and was taking precautions. As for Harry, he was a bit perfunctory, giving her a book on Transfiguration. After all, Harry was Snape's student!

Of course, Harry also received a gift from Dumbledore, the Invisibility Cloak from the Potter family, a Potter family heirloom.

Harry was very familiar with his family's things, so when he saw the cloak, his face froze. He knew it belonged to the Potter family, but it was interesting that Dumbledore sent it to him.

There was also a note inside: "Your father left this to me before he died. Now it should be returned to you. Use it well. I sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas."

The original book is the same, but there is no signature in the original book, while here, Dumbledore's signature in a flourish and phoenix-like cursive script is written.

"My father left this to him? What does that mean!" Harry knew this cloak. Just now, this cloak was in the family album. Although it was not marked, it was a must-pass down item. So, at this time, the old man said that this was left to him by James Potter, and he gave it to Harry. This is a bit interesting.

What can Ou Mengmeng say? At the end of the first part of the book, the old man chatted with Harry and said clearly that it was given to him by James Potter, and then he returned it to Harry. So Ou Mengmeng had to sigh again, what can a god-level prodigal son do? Maybe he thought it was more useful to Dumbledore, and for his own avenue, the young man acted impulsively.

"If my mother had this, would she not die?" Harry asked suddenly.

Ou Mengmeng was stunned for a moment. This was a really good question. She had really never thought about this. Think about it, in the fairy tale, this cloak could even deceive the god of death. If at that time, they hid under the cloak, could they avoid the disaster?
But it definitely won't work. This is a novel, a fairy tale. If the family of this child who survived a disaster is allowed to live, how else can the story be made up? But how can I tell this child that you are just a character in a fairy tale? She is afraid of being beaten.

She just patted him gently but didn't say anything else. She looked down and saw a small package underneath, which she quickly handed to Harry. Harry opened it and found fifty pence in a transparent plastic bag, and a note from Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. The note said that they had received his letter and wished him a Merry Christmas.

"Not bad!" Harry took a look and smiled. Now he even felt that his uncle and aunt, whom he hated, were not so hateful. At least they raised him!
"By the way, what gifts did you give them?" Ou Mengmeng asked hurriedly. "The truth is, I didn't." Harry felt a little ashamed. Just now he thought that the two of them were not so annoying, but now he realized that he was not much better.

"Oh, Harry!" Ou Mengmeng groaned, and looked at the time. It was already early in the morning of Christmas. After thinking about it, she stood up and copied a photo album and a large bag of magic candy. Of course, it was not as naughty as the jumping frog, but it was a bit interesting and delicious. Of course, there was also a very exquisite antique tie clip, which was wrapped in a large bag and handed to Harry.

"Is it necessary?" Harry looked at Ou Mengmeng.

"Of course! Even though they didn't treat you very well, they raised you after all, and they didn't starve you or stop you from studying. Even though your cousin is a little annoying, you see, there are naughty kids in the wizarding world too, and you Slykerins have especially many. We don't have many blood relatives in the world, so it's already very good for them to be like this." Ou Mengmeng didn't dare tell him that the wizarding world didn't give any child support. She had to say it to his face so that Harry could figure it out for himself. Being able to raise his sister's child in the ordinary world was already good enough. Asking for love, she thought that was too much.

Harry obeyed, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter. He apologized for not preparing gifts first, and then told them that he was spending the holiday at his godmother's house, and apologized again for that. He then explained the distribution of gifts. The photo album was from his mother's wedding, and he saw it at his godmother's house. He thought his aunt might want to see it, so he gave it to her as a gift. He got the tie clip when he helped his classmates clean up old things. It was not a magical item, but he thought it was very delicate and hoped that his uncle would like it. The candy was for his cousin, wishing them a Merry Christmas.

Ou Mengmeng looked at it and nodded. It seemed that Slyklin's aristocratic education was useful. Look, Harry's handwriting was getting better and better. Most importantly, the letter was written very appropriately and sincerely.

Ou Mengmeng asked Hathaway to send Harry away. She looked at Hathaway going away and couldn't help saying, "I want to see if the Dursleys will be scared when they receive such a gift. After all, in their eyes, we are no different from monsters. They are two traditional people. Even Aunt Petunia once dreamed of becoming a wizard. However, ordinary people are just ordinary people. It is indeed difficult to accept! When I saw Hermione's parents yesterday, their meaning was actually very clear. They said they accepted it well, but in fact, they must have a lot of fear deep down in their hearts!"

Harry listened quietly, and nodded after a while. When he was in the zoo, he could talk to snakes and make the glass in front of snakes disappear. He was actually terrified. Then he was taken to Diagon Alley by Hagrid. If it weren't for "Little Petunia", he would have been very uncomfortable!
"During the summer vacation, I will prepare gifts for them carefully." Harry said hurriedly.

"That's right!" Ou Mengmeng smiled, thinking that this child was teachable.

Ou Mengmeng is not a saint, but she knows the original book. Before Harry becomes an adult, he must go back to his aunt's house every year to recharge. When he is in the third grade, he can go to Hogsmore Village to play on weekends, but his parents' signature is required.

What is the relationship between arms and thighs? It is a matter of no use to fight against each other.

I made a hand-pulled pancake with rat poison all over it. I went to look for it this morning and the pancake was gone. There was no trace of rat glue left, but the pancake was gone. Now I am worried about the corpse. Tears!
