Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 104 Christmas Presents and Cats
When the dawn of Christmas arrives, John wakes up shocked by the mountain of presents.

Last year, the Christmas tree was almost submerged, but this year it was actually submerged, and this is not all the presents, there are still presents from owls intermittently.

Miranda was delighted that John had received so many presents, and her son was the best.

With Tom's help, John first simply sorted the presents, like the professors put them together, and Hagrid and Harry put them on the other side.

The rest are basically gifts from little wizards born in Muggle families.

John chose to open the presents from the professors first.

I don't know if it's fate or what, the first gift that John unwrapped was the same as last year, it was a gift from Professor McGonagall.

Last year Professor McGonagall had given him an old notebook from the professor's own Hogwarts days.

This year was different. Professor McGonagall gave him a brand new notebook, on which the magic fluctuations represented that it was copied by the copy spell.

Opening it and reading it carefully, John found that it recorded Professor McGonagall's research and understanding of Transfiguration since he was a professor at Hogwarts.

If last year's gift was an expectation, then this year's gift is equal treatment.

Give this note to Mo Mo, let him copy it again, and then John unseals the second gift again.

The second one was a gift from Professor Sprout. It was still a bag of magical plant seeds. John gladly accepted it. He planned to plant these seeds in the space of the ring just like the seeds he gave last year.

Picking up the next gift and opening it, it was Professor Flitwick's gift. It seemed that he didn't know what to give to John. In the end, Flitwick stuffed several books on spells and dueling that he had collected into it.

Because from the degree of wear and tear of these books, it is not difficult to see that Professor Flitwick must have read these books often.

The next one is a gift from Principal Dumbledore, which is still Honeydukes candy spree like last year, the only difference is that there are many more candies that Honeydukes has not yet released.

Then it was a gift from Professor Snape, and I don't know if it was the tacit understanding between the master and the student.

This year, Professor Snape gave him a small bottle of Felicity Elixir again, and John sent him a brand new magic photo, which still showed Lily and Professor Snape when they were young.

Let Tom store this brand-new bottle of Felicia together with last year's bottle. You must know that John only drank a little of last year's Felicia and stored it in the vault until now, but he thinks no one will dislike it Too much Felicia.

After unwrapping the present from the professor, John slightly accelerated the speed of unwrapping the present.

What Harry gave him was a bound volume of alchemy that was thicker than a brick. It seemed that he should have prepared it a long time ago. You must know that it would take at least a month to write a letter to the newspaper office to order such a book. receive;
Hermione bought several books related to Egypt. It should be that John received the pyramid key from the teacher. Hermione noticed it when he was looking for information about Egypt in the library;
Ron gave him a big bag of toffee made by Mrs. Weasley, and John liked it very much; the Weasley twins gave him a big bag of dung bombs, and wrote to tell him that they had something to discuss with him next semester; The little girl also gave him a pair of gloves, in order to thank him for the new book he gave her at the beginning of school;
Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley also brought presents.

Mrs. Weasley gave him a pure black hand-knitted sweater, with a red dragon embroidered with red wool on the chest, which looked like a red dragon on the badge, and his initials;
What Mr. Weasley gave him was the alchemy collection of the Weasley family, and of course what Mr. Weasley gave to John were all re-transcribed new books;

Last but not least, Hagrid's gift.

What Hagrid gave him was an extremely delicate white-gold robe, with patterns outlined by gold threads on the corners, shining golden holy radiance on it, and such holy attributes only unicorns possessed.

Sure enough, according to Hagrid's letter that came with the robe, the unicorn hair used to weave this robe came from the unicorn herd that John helped.

Of course, Hagrid also made suggestions to the unicorns to collect these unicorn hairs. After all, because of John's help, Hagrid finally cleared his grievances and cleared his grievances.

Hagrid commissioned Madam Malkin to make this robe, which added magic such as infusion cleansing spells, wind and rain spells, automatic adaptation spells, and blessings from the unicorn leader.

Wearing this robe, you can always keep your heart pure, just like what the unicorn leader did after he rescued the little unicorn.

The study of black magic will inevitably be affected, and this robe can't be too timely.

So John didn't hesitate, and directly put the robe on his body, and John immediately felt a kind of peace of mind.

Just like last time, John can feel his consciousness is extremely cool, as if all the complicated thoughts in the past have disappeared, and even his body feels relaxed, as if something that dragged him has been eliminated.

He felt that his mind was extremely peaceful at the moment, and some of the hostility in his heart dissipated.

And what surprised John even more was that this robe was actually recorded by the system.

I saw an extra line in the column of his system's recorded items, which read 'Unicorn's Blessing Robe'.

Most of the remaining presents were candy, and a small part were gifts from the Muggle world, such as the kind of snow globes that gift shops would sell.

John also understands very well, after all, the conditions of each family are different, perhaps this is the best gift he can give.

Miranda was very interested in this kind of non-magical snow crystal ball, after all, it is very difficult for people in the wizarding world to see items from the pure Muggle world.

After packing for nearly an hour, John finally finished sorting out the presents, and put the important items into the ring, and John distributed most of the candies to the magical animals inhabiting the space.

For example, invisible beasts like to eat candied pineapple, while birds and snakes like cockroach piles, perhaps because their main food is insects.

Afterwards, John took a brief rest for a few days, not going to study and research for the time being. He was going to go through the world first and then come back before starting to study and research.

In fact, as early as October, the system's 30-day world-crossing cooldown ended, but John was busy studying werewolves at that time, so he didn't choose to go through the world for the time being, and this delay has been delayed until now.

Put all the things needed into the ring of Nick Flamel, John put on the combat uniform, and put on the Eren Mum Ninety-two Style, then contacted the system intelligence and chose to go through the world.

[Confirmation of crossing the boundary]

[Recorded world "Howl's Moving Castle" has been denied]

[Adaptation plane search... search confirmed, anchoring... anchoring successful]

[Identity is being inserted...insert successfully]

[Start crossing the world! 】

The familiar white light flashed, and John disappeared into the room like the previous few times.

In 1926, Cairo, Egypt.

Cairo is the capital and largest city of Egypt and the largest city in Africa and the Arab world.

The city is located at the southern end of the Nile Delta in the northeast of Egypt, across the Nile River, majestic and magnificent, and is the political, economic, cultural, commercial and transportation center of the entire Middle East.

Cairo is composed of Cairo, Giza and Qalyub provinces, commonly known as Greater Cairo.

Cairo is one of the oldest cities in the world, and it is also one of the few ancient cities in the world that has suffered the least damage from wars. It has undergone continuous construction and expansion by dynasties and governments, forming this large city where ancient and modern coexist and reflect each other.

Only at this point in 1926, the real owner of the city of Cairo was not a native Egyptian, but a British colonist.

The location where John appeared was in a deserted alley, accompanied by a familiar white light, John appeared here.

John checked his status as soon as he woke up, and he still didn't change his age, just like before.

With the temporary connection with this world, John understands where he is now, and John also perceives that some kind of power exists in the land under his feet.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, but this force seems to be very close to John and doesn't reject him.

John thought of something, and took out the scarab badge stored in the ring.

And when John took out the badge, the sun in the sky seemed to become more dazzling.

The scarab badge in John's hand spread out its elytra again and came alive, with a faint red light flashing on the place where John's blood was stored.

Then he sensed a calling, as if a place in the desert far away was calling to him.

However, the feeling of this call is not strong, it seems that as long as he wants to, he can block this call.

John didn't want to ignore this call for the time being, the first problem now was to figure out what kind of world this was.

Casting the illusion spell to hide his figure, John released the insect-type alchemy monitor and began to check the outside world.

Apart from the locals wearing linen robes and covering their heads, there are also a large number of British people in suits and leather shoes walking on the streets, and four-wheeled carriages and cars are driving on the streets.

Just looking at it like this, still can't know the specific situation of this world.

John took back the monitor, changed his clothes into a suit, and at the same time hid his eyes and hair, which were very different from ordinary people, and transformed into the black hair and blue pupils before the awakening of the blood.

Walking out of the alley, John was walking on the street. Apart from English, John could also understand the Egyptian spoken by the locals.

After all, after getting the scarab badge, John knew that he would go to Egypt one day, so he specially learned several mainstream languages ​​there.

But I don't know if it's an illusion. When John walks on the street, he can always feel a certain kind of gaze, but when he looks in the direction of the gaze, there is nothing.

Or to be more specific, there are no people, just a few carefree cats.

Could it be the cat watching him?
John thought of the description of cats in Egyptian mythology, and made corresponding guesses in his mind.

According to the description in ancient Egyptian mythology, there are three main gods related to cats.

The sun god La Harakti is the god of creation in Egyptian mythology. He separated the heaven and the earth and created human beings and everything in the world. He is at the highest end of the Egyptian theogony.

In the famous "Book of the Dead", there was a scene in which the sun god Ra transformed into a cat and killed the evil python Apophis who prevented the sun from rising in the east and setting in the west.

The other two are Sekhmet, the goddess of war, and Best, the goddess of pleasure.

Judging from the power in this land, the gods in Egyptian mythology are very likely to exist.

Then as an outsider, he will naturally be noticed by the gods, so now I don't know who is watching him with the help of the cat's sight.
