Christmas has finally arrived.

For ordinary children, Christmas should be a very happy day, because on this day they can not only eat delicious food, but also receive their favorite gifts.

But for Mike, Christmas is not so pleasant.

There is no other reason than that he has too many friends.

The more friends you have, the more gifts you receive and give out.

This is not to say that Mike is stingy and cares about the little money.

The main reason is that it is too cumbersome.

But fortunately, Mike now has two house elves, Winky and Dobby, by his side. After Mike recalled these two people, the work of Christmas gifts became much easier.

In terms of gifts, Dumbledore's gift was a blank pick-up list from Beedukes candy store. Mike had already deposited a large sum of gold galleons in Beedukes. Dumbledore could write the candies he wanted on it as he pleased.

Mike prepared a lot of this kind of delivery list, specially used as Christmas gifts, and almost all of Mike’s friends who didn’t know what to give received them.

It's just that the amounts on their lists are different from Dumbledore's list. Dumbledore's list is the only one without an upper limit, while others have a maximum limit of 10 gold galleons.

Again, this is not because Mike is stingy, but because Mike is afraid that his friends will get cavities if they eat too much candy.

In terms of gifts, the ones that Mike paid the most attention to were those given to Cedric and Professor Flitwick.

Of course, the gift given to Cedric was the ring. Mike had people add a lot of light and shadow image magic to it as planned, and the sound and light effects were absolutely perfect.

The dress given to Professor Flitwick was a three-cornered hat he made by himself, imitating the lucky hat, with his initials engraved on the brim. For this reason, Mike specially learned how to make hats.

As for the gifts Mike received, there's really not much to say.

Except for the gifts from a few people who were acquainted with Mike, Mike let Dobby and the others dispose of the Christmas gifts from other people without even touching them.

There is no way around it. Nowadays, many pure-blood families want Mike's life. Who knows if a life-killing curse will suddenly come out of those gifts after they are opened.

Among the gifts that Mike opened personally, the one that satisfied Mike the most was Penello's gift.

It was a scarf she knitted by herself.

This scarf is by no means exquisite, and it even looks a little hairy after wearing it, but Mike still cherishes it.

Because Penello spent a lot of effort on it, which can be seen from her hands that were pricked with needles.

Please don't ask me why Penelo can prick his hand even when he knits a scarf. Mike doesn't know either. He can only say that Penelo really has no talent in this area.

In the Ravenclaw lounge, Mike and Penelo, who had had a busy day, were chatting with the remaining members of the Freemasonry who had decided to attend the dance.

Among them, Soraka naturally became Benjamin's dance partner. Mike was not surprised at all. The two people had been flirting with each other for a long time. Mike even suspected that they had already understood what should be done and what should not be done when they worked together to make potions.

Everything that needs to be done has been done.

Franklin's dance partner was Hillary, which surprised many people. After all, Franklin himself was not weak, and with the blessing of being a member of the Quidditch school team, there were quite a few little girls who liked him.

On the other hand, Hilary's impression is similar to that of Hermione, who is also a nerd and often hides in the corner of the library wearing a pair of dull glasses and holding a pile of books.

Everyone was very surprised that these two people could be together, and that Franklin was still controlled by Hillary. Many girls who had been rejected by Franklin even wondered whether Hillary had given Franklin a love potion.

However, Mike still supports the relationship development of these two people. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just mentioning the names of these two people is very interesting. One is Clinton and the other is Hillary.

This is really...

As for Victor, he is still studying his glorious evolution in the secret realm of Freemasonry. According to the information provided by Benjamin, this guy seems to have started experimenting with humans recently.

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly felt that something was not right.

"Benjamin, are you saying that Victor has started experimenting on humans?"

Benjamin, who was kissing Soraka, immediately turned his head when he heard this and said:

"That's right, that's what he told me the last time I went to deliver food to him."

"So who did he do the experiments on? I don't remember that I gave him permission to start human experiments." Mike said thoughtfully, "As the person who takes care of Victor, what do you have to tell me?

?"

"this……"

Benjamin was hesitating and speechless. He had been busy talking about love with Soraka recently, and he had no time to pay attention to the situation on Victor's side.

"You can't blame Benjamin." Soraka said to Mike, "You gave him too much work, and he couldn't handle it. Look, he has lost weight recently!"

Mike, who had been looking for a long time but couldn't see where Benjamin had lost weight, sighed and decided to go check on Victor's situation after the dance. It probably wouldn't be a big deal. Victor was not an idiot, like in

He still can't do experiments on himself, maybe...

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, let's not talk about this for now." Mike stood up and said to everyone, "It's almost time, let's put on our clothes and get ready to go to the auditorium."

Everyone immediately dispersed and returned to their respective dormitories.

Today's Hogwarts is very beautifully decorated, especially the lawn outside the auditorium. There is a huge cave on top of it, with little fairy lights shining inside, which means there are hundreds of living fairies inside.

They were either sitting in the magic rose bushes or fluttering their wings on the statues, which seemed to be Santa Claus and his reindeer.

Mike and his group arrived at the entrance of the auditorium in a mighty manner.

All the Franklin boys were neatly dressed in custom-made black suits. Among them, Mike's appearance was the best. His short blond hair matched perfectly with the black suit.

Franklin was in terrible condition. Standing in the dark in a black suit, he looked like he was wearing Harry's invisibility cloak. If Hillary, who was wearing a lilac dress next to him, hadn't been holding his hand, no one would have seen him.

No one could notice that there was still a person standing there.

Professor McGonagall looked at Mike and the others and smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied.

But when her eyes shifted to Harry beside her, Professor McGonagall's expression immediately darkened.

"Okay, come with me quickly. The warriors need to sit with all the distinguished guests."

After that, Professor McGonagall walked away.

Harry looked a little embarrassed.

The dress he was wearing now was prepared by Mrs. Weasley. To be honest, it was more like a skirt than a dress. The too-long skirt and the somewhat worn fabric made him very embarrassed.

Ron beside him was even more miserable.

The dresses of the two of them are very similar, and it looks like they were both prepared by Mrs. Weasley.

However, Ron seemed to have made some small changes to the dress. He used a cutting spell to shorten the skirt and sleeves of the dress.

But Ron was obviously not proficient enough in cutting spells, which made the broken edges of his dress full of burrs, making it look more like a non-mainstream ripped dress than a dress.

Compared with their dresses, their dance partners' dresses are much more beautiful.

Their dance partners were the Indian sisters Parvati Petil and Padma Petil. Among them, the elder sister Parvati Patil, who was nestled next to Harry, was wearing a pink traditional Indian dress.

Padma is light green.

Mike was not surprised at all that Indians would appear in British magic schools. After all, the country has a very open immigration policy for Indians. Mike guessed that this was because India had belonged to the country for a long time.

colonial relations.

"Let's go, Harry." Mike smiled and invited, "By the way, your dance partner is very beautiful."

"oh oh!"

Harry was obviously in a daze, and it took him a while to react after hearing Mike's voice.

On the contrary, it was Parvati, a gorgeously dressed Indian girl who bowed to Mike politely after hearing this, and then said lightly:

"Thank you. Your dance partner looked great today too."

Mike and Penello smiled at each other and entered the castle first.

Payati, on the other hand, took Harry, who was still a little distracted, and followed him.

Payati's etiquette is almost perfect, which does not conform to the Chinese people's traditional impression of Indians as dirty and messy.

The family conditions of the two Patil sisters must be quite good. Their families were originally either nobles or high castes in India. This can be seen from their fair skin color and the large number of gold jewelry on their bodies.

Professor McGonagall did not directly take Mike, Harry and others to a small room next to the auditorium, and then told everyone to wait here for a while.

In this small room, the other two warriors and their dance partners have also arrived.

Seeing Mike and Penelope come into the room, Fleur immediately took the hand of her dance partner, Roger, captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, and glared at Mike fiercely.

The meaning was very clear, but Roger next to him was unaware of it. He still stared at Fleur in a dazed manner, not even noticing the arrival of Mike and the others.

At this moment, Roger felt that he should be the luckiest person in the world. Otherwise, how could he explain that a beautiful woman like Fleur would suddenly invite him to be her dance partner?

At this moment, he just wanted to look at Furong until the end of time.

Mike completely ignored Fleur, while Penello next to him smiled at Fleur from an angle that Mike couldn't see, as if showing off.

This immediately made Fleur furious, and she instinctively turned her head to ask Roger to speak for him.

However, Roger still looked stupid at this moment, and it looked like he was about to drool.

"You...you trash! Get out of here!"

Furious, Fleur pushed Roger away and sat in a chair alone, sulking.

Seeing this, the smile on Penello's face became even brighter.

As for Harry, his attention had not left Krum and his dance partner from the moment he entered.

"Hermione? Is that you? Hermione?"

Harry asked in disbelief.

And his voice also attracted the attention of the girl next to Krum. The girl turned around instinctively. When she saw that the people coming were Harry and Mike, she smiled and said:

"Harry! Mike! You are finally here."

"Uh, um, yes. So, your dance partner is Krum?"

Harry's voice was vibrating when he spoke, and his eyes were a little erratic.

His dance partner, Payati, obviously noticed something unusual about Harry. Coupled with the previous report in the Daily Prophet, she seemed to understand something, and her eyes towards Harry became more and more unkind.

But this can't be blamed on Harry. Hermione looked so beautiful at this moment, so beautiful that she almost looked different from usual.

The originally messy and fluffy hair was now transformed into a beautiful princess hair, and turned into normal-sized front teeth, which also made Hermione's face particularly cute. Coupled with the light pink princess hair, at this moment

Hermione looks like a princess from a Disney fairy tale.

"You are unexpectedly beautiful today!" Mike stepped forward to say hello, "You are also extremely handsome, Krum."

"Crab, the same goes for you. This dress suits you."

Mike was stunned when he heard Krum's half-hearted English.

He knew that Krum didn't understand English, so he didn't expect Krum to respond to him.

Hermione on the side saw this and explained with a smile:

"Krum has been learning English during this period. Although his accent is not yet standard, he can now communicate in daily life!"

"This is all for you," Krum said, "Hermine."

Hermione's face turned red and she was speechless.

When Mike saw this, his brows tightened at first, then relaxed and said:

"This couldn't be better, Krum. I've always wanted to talk to you. Are you interested in developing in China? Maybe you can become the product spokesperson of our Los Santos Group."

"Oh, maybe Haohao needs to think about it."

"It doesn't matter, you have a full school year to think about it. When you make a decision, you can come to me at any time."

"OK!"

Krum smiled and shook hands with Mike. At this moment, he really felt that Mike was a good person! Knowing that he was far away in a foreign country and it was difficult to get along with Hermione, he specifically gave him a chance to stay and work in the country!

"Okay! Everyone, come with me. Everyone else has already taken their seats. Now it's your turn to play!"

Professor McGonagall's voice sounded again, and everyone in the room quickly agreed. Even Harry, who had been in a daze, was awakened.
Chapter completed!
