Chapter 121 Christmas Gift
Because of Helena, Rolf undoubtedly missed the lunch time at Hogwarts.
But it was not a big problem. Hufflepuff, one of the four great masters, once said:
"I want the little badgers who are close to the kitchen to have hot meals at any time."
This benefit is something that other colleges can't envy!
Sitting by the fireplace in the Hufflepuff lounge, Rolf opened the lid of an exquisite food box, and hot smoke came out.

He picked up a piece of honey date cake that melted in his mouth, tore it in half, and handed it to Shirley beside him.
The ponytail girl held her cheeks with both hands and looked at Rolf. She shook her head and said with a bright smile: "I had lunch at noon."
"Try it. The house elves said this is the latest flavor." Rolf smiled and said: "Besides, you are so thin, it won't hurt to eat more."
Shirley took the date cake obediently, took a bite gently, and chewed it slowly.
Speaking of which, she also felt that her body was too thin. When she took a bath with Hermione before, she felt that she was okay, even slightly superior...
But since she met the female centaur Nymeria, especially seeing her ups and downs of her chest, the comparison made her look too thin.
While eating, Rolf talked about Helena and Barrow in detail. It was not the rhetoric of Hun Snape and others, but the real process.
After listening quietly, Shirley frowned very beautifully. She had heard Rolf mention Helena a long time ago, and she also knew that this daughter of Ravenclaw wanted Rolf to resurrect her... and then marry him.
Shirley whispered, "So, are you going to revive Helena?"
Roff did not answer, but asked, "Do you want me to revive her?"
Shirley remained silent, holding her cheek and staring at the flames in the fireplace in a daze.
After a moment, the ponytail girl bit her lip, nodded and shook her head:
"I hope Helena is resurrected, but I don't want you to revive her."
Roff couldn't help but almost wanted to laugh out loud, but knowing that Shirley was thin-skinned, he didn't expose her little thoughts, and said with a smile:
"Then next time you see Helena in the Ravenclaw lounge, you can tell her what you think."
"Okay! Who's afraid of who?!"
Shirley straightened her back aggressively, but soon bent down again, lying on the table, gently fiddling with her ponytail, a little unconfident:
"Helena is the daughter of Ravenclaw, is she as smart as her mother? Can I handle it?"
Roff stretched out his finger and tapped the ponytail girl's forehead, "Not as smart as you."
Shirley smiled.
He paused and said, "Not as pretty as you."
Shirley blushed.
The ponytail girl's eyes shifted slightly. She raised her head, looked out the window, and said in surprise, "It's snowing."
Rolf turned his head and looked at the layer of snow mat that was quickly spread outside the castle. He smiled softly:
"Yes... Merry Christmas!"
...
...
Hogwarts had a heavy snowfall, covering the thousand-year-old castle with a thick white fox fur.
The heavy snow lasted until the arrival of Christmas, and finally became smaller.
After last year's gift bombardment, Rolf learned his lesson this year. When he went to bed at night, he deliberately left the window open so that the owls could pass through unimpeded.
On the table, there were also various kinds of food and water to reward them, and even the fireplace was filled with firewood, so that they could stop and warm themselves when delivering gifts.
Rolf only hoped that he could sleep until he woke up naturally this year, and not be woken up by the owls delivering gifts.
But he still miscalculated and greatly underestimated the number of gifts this year.
Early in the morning, Rove felt a little breathless and as if there was a heavy object on his body. He thought he was in bed, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the quilt was piled with various gifts.
Not only the quilt and the bed, but also the dormitory was full of gift boxes. Even so, there was an owl standing at the window, stretching out its claws to force things into the room. It looked like a rookie station.
Rove obviously underestimated his current popularity and influence in the magic world, but there was nothing he could do. The newspapers were all about you every day, and the minister would mention you in two out of three sentences... It was hard not to be famous.
Rove picked up a gift and found a letter on it. The sender was a witch named Gladys.
In the letter, she said that she had read the report about Rove catching Peter and was a loyal fan of him, and then asked him to meet at the Leaky Cauldron on Christmas.
She also booked a room, and the two of them could talk in depth about the details of catching Peter!
Rove picked up another letter, which looked like a liar... claiming that her husband was infertile and wanted a second child, so she asked Rove to borrow some high-quality essence.
A reward of 100,000 Galleons will be given after the task is completed!
Rolf was very sure that this was a scam, because the letter was signed by Narcissa Malfoy.
Even if it was not a scam, Rolf would not agree to it. After all, he and Draco were classmates. If he really gave him a younger brother, wouldn’t the generational relationship be messed up?
Rolf searched for a long time in a pile of gift boxes before finding the Christmas gifts given by his friends.
Sirius Black still maintained his rich personality and gave Rolf an expensive invisibility cloak.
This invisibility cloak was made of the hide of an invisible beast. Although it was not as good as Harry’s Deathly Hallows, it had a good hiding effect.
Rolf gained the ability of the invisible beast, and this invisibility cloak was a bit useless to him.
But if I go to the Forbidden Forest in the future, I can give it to Shirley to wear, which is considered to be the best use of it.
Professor McGonagall gave him a small gift box, and after he opened it, he found that it was a golden snitch.
The Snitch has a physical memory and can remember the first person who touched it with their hands, in case there is a dispute when catching the ball.
Therefore, before the Snitch was released in the game, it was not touched by any exposed skin, not even by its maker.
When Luofu touched the timid snitch, he got it for the first time.
The gift that Rolf gave to Professor McGonagall the year before last was a small broomstick suitable for cats to ride on, and last year it was a cat climbing frame.
This year he gave catnip-scented cat litter as a gift. Recently, he planned to avoid Professor McGonagall, fearing that she would transform into a cat and stuff it into the cat litter.
Snape gave Rove a large cauldron as a gift, but the cauldron was obviously picked up casually from the warehouse. It was covered with a thick layer of old dirt and had at least twenty years of history.
Snape could be sold to a rag collector, but he gave it to Rove as a Christmas gift... He cried to death.
The gift that Rolf gave to Snape was also very "precious". It was a unique magical plant from the Far East... Tai Sui.
Tai Sui, also called Ganoderma lucidum, is very rare and is an important ingredient in making many magic potions.
But the Ganoderma lucidum given by Luofu was made of silicone. I wonder if the well-informed Professor Snape recognized this thing.
Dumbledore knew that Rolf was studying alchemy recently, so he gave the teenager's notebooks from his youth as a Christmas gift.
Dumbledore is also a master of alchemy. When he was in school, he won the Gold Medal for Pioneering Contributions at the Cairo International Alchemy Congress.
Dumbledore loved sweets the most, and Rolf's gift was a cake engraved in the shape of Fawkes.
He asked Jacob to bake that cake. Although it was sent from the United States, it was protected by magic and still had a familiar taste.
Hermione went skiing with her parents this Christmas vacation, so she gave her a set of ski equipment.
Rolf's gift to Hermione is an expensive magic radio, with which you can listen to wizards' programs.
Opening Shirley's gift box, Rove found an exquisite sachet with a picture of a sniffing eucalyptus on it, beautifully embroidered.
The sachet itself exudes wisps of fragrance, the fragrance is subtle and elegant, and there are dots of tender green light exuding inside, which is pleasantly fragrant.
Luofu put the sachet made by the ponytail girl to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then carefully tied it to his pillow.
