Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Chapter 337: Christmas gift

Although teachers gave fourth graders a lot of homework over the holidays, when the semester was over, hardly anyone other than Hermione had the heart to do their homework.

In the week before Christmas, everyone was having a good time playing together.

The Gryffindor Tower was almost as crowded as it was before the holiday, and the tower seemed to shrunk because the people who lived there were noisier than usual.

Fred and George's canary biscuits sold very well, and in the first day or two of the holiday, someone suddenly swooped and feathered.

But soon the Gryffindor classmates learned their lesson and were very wary of the food that was handed over, lest there was a canary biscuit hidden in the middle.

Of course, that didn't stop them from bad luck, as George and Fred are rumored to be working on a biscuit that turns people into toads.

Christmas comes with a heavy snowfall, with swirling snowflakes falling on the castle and grounds.

Beauxbatons' light blue wagon looked like a frosted pumpkin in winter, and the little frosted gingerbread house next to it was Hagrid's cabin.

The sides of Durmstrang's ship were covered with ice, smooth and translucent, and the rigging was stained with hoarfrost.

The house-elves cooking in the basement kitchen are busy preparing hot stews and luscious puddings in a variety of flavors.

On Christmas morning, Harry woke up early, and as soon as he woke he looked around—

Harry saw a neat little box beside his own bed.

The small box is wrapped in light blue gift paper with a starry sky pattern, and a note is attached to the gift box:

"Merry Christmas, may wisdom and reason always be with you - Tiera"

Harry excitedly and cautiously opened the package, opened the box, and took out the contents—

It was a deck of twenty-two palm-sized cards, fashioned into wizarding cards, each with a Tierra in the picture frame.

Some Tierra wore triple crowns, held a cross scepter, wore bright red papal robes, and wrote "V-The Pope" in the column of the wizard's card name.

There are also playing cards, Tierra, with the head and the body of a snake, with Tierra holding her tail in her mouth, and a lion, an eagle, an ox and an angel with Tierra's face lying on each corner of the card. There is also a sphinx with wings and Tierra's face on Tiera's body, the name of the card reads "X-TheWheelofFortune"

Another card, Tiera, was hung upside down on a tree, with his arms outstretched, he made an upside-down cross with his body, and at the same time countless sharp spears ate through his body, the name column. It says "XII - The Hanged Man"

There are also cards with a Tierra-like angel blowing a horn. Below, countless Tieras stood up from countless coffins and looked up at the sky. The card read "XX-The Judgement"

In addition, there is Tiera, who is sitting on a chariot in a rust-colored robe; there is also Tiera who is wearing a colorful costume and hanging luggage and is about to travel; Tiera wearing a crown of golden olive branches surrounded by barley, mushrooms and rice; and Tiera wearing a black robe, half of her face is a skeleton, and carrying a sickle...

A total of twenty-two cards, from 0 to XXI, from "TheFool" to "TheWorld", on each card, whether human or other animals, is Tierra's face——

Including the puppy following The Fool, which is also Tiera's face, the lion in the power card, the two war horses in the chariot card, and so on...

Every Tiera on every card has his eyes closed, which makes the whole deck of cards that was still gorgeous, revealing an indescribable sense of weirdness.

"Merry Christmas, Harry." While Harry was looking at the cards one by one, Tiera just came back from the wash, and saw Harry smiled and said, "May the madness go away, and may wisdom and reason always be with us. ."

"Uh... what?" Harry asked in confusion.

"It's all right," Tiera said with a smile. "Merry Christmas, Harry, do you like this Christmas present?"

"Like it!" said Harry, smiling. "Thank you, Tiera! I love this gift!"

"Just like it." Tiera said with a smile.

"By the way, I also prepared a present for you!" Harry said, preparing to take out a gift box from his bedside table, but suddenly, when Harry turned around, his eyes fell on Ron's bed. Next to Ron's pillow was an identical gift box with a note that read:

"Merry Christmas, may wisdom and reason always be with you - Tiera"

...

As the sun rose, Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons' teachers and students gradually woke up from their sleep.

Within the entire Hogwarts Castle, whether students, teachers, or even dormitory manager Fitch, librarian Madam Pince, Madam Pomfrey from the school hospital, and Madame Rosie, Nick Lemay's alchemy robot , after they got up in a daze, they found a small beautifully packaged gift box on their bedside table or beside their pillow~lightnovelpub.net~ There was a note attached to the surface of the box, which read:

"Merry Christmas, may wisdom and reason always be with you - Tiera"

...

Harry, Ron and Tiera met in the Gryffindor common room.

"Merry Christmas, Hermione." Tiera asked with a smile after seeing Hermione, "Do you like my Christmas present?"

"Hmph..." Hermione put on a sullen face, glanced at Tiera, and did not speak.

Also with a stinky face is Harry——

After seeing Ron, Neville, and Seamus with the exact same present at the bedside, Harry began to feel a little unhappy.

After knowing that the Weasleys and others had received the exact same gift as him, the unhappiness on Harry's face turned directly into "a stinky face".

"Cool!" said Ron, who had no idea what was going on, with the deck of tarot cards in his pocket. "Cool! You're a genius, Tierra!"

"Hehe, as long as you like it." Tiera said, "May the madness go away, and may wisdom and reason always be with us."

"What, what?" Ron asked in confusion.

Hermione looked at Tiera strangely.

"No, it's nothing." Tiera said with a smile, "It's just a sentence I read in the book, and I think it makes sense."

"Let's go, let's have breakfast," Tiera said again, "don't forget we have a Christmas ball tonight. We must fill our stomachs so that we won't be with the girl at night..."

Tiera glanced at Hermione, "So that we won't have the energy to dance with the girls and the machos at night."

There's one more in a while
