Chapter 33 Do you still need to prepare gifts for Christmas?
Lovell scratched his head, a little at a loss.
Could it be that the dark side of campus is finally going to extend its poisonous claws to my poor little wolf cub?!
Just when Lovell didn't know how to answer, Mrs. Norris said slowly: "I don't have to tell Filch about the affair between you and the two children, but you need to do something for me."
Lovell:∪?w?∪?
"I'm just an ordinary little wolf. I don't know where I can help you?" Lovell said weakly.
Show weakness first and lower the other party's expectations. This is a very common method, even a wolf cub like Lovell knows it from birth.
"Just bring your nose." Mrs. Loris fiddled with her fluffy tail, pulled it in front of her, and then stepped on it with all four cat paws, using the hair to block the noise coming from the floor.
chill.
Lovell roughly guessed what it was.
"Recently, Argus has been competing with a student at night. That student is very cunning and difficult to catch, so I thought of you." Mrs. Norris stared at Lovell with a burning gaze, "Your nose is bigger than
My favor, you can help him track down that student, but I can't."
Lovell suddenly realized that he wanted me to help catch people. It's easy to say, following the scent of prey is his old skill.
Maybe she talked too much, and Mrs. Loris was a little tired. She yawned lazily, "To be honest, I don't take it to heart about your little fight with the twins. I just turned a blind eye."
It’s okay to close one eye, as long as we can catch that student, everything will be easy to discuss.”
The wolf cub nodded seriously. Even if Mrs. Loris didn't catch her, she wouldn't refuse her if she came to her door because they were friends.
"The next operation will probably be after Christmas. I will inform you of the specific time." Mrs. Norris didn't really want to continue chatting with Lovell - it was too cold in the corridor, and she was almost frozen during the squatting process.
Stiff, now Mrs. Norris just wants to find a warm stove to bake herself until she smokes.
"By the way, you'd better prepare some gifts for your hosts for Christmas. This is a human tradition. They will be very happy after you prepare the gifts." Before leaving, Mrs. Norris thought of a small thing and changed her mind.
He turned over and warned Lovell.
"Eh? What?" Lovell didn't understand why gifts were given on Christmas. He only knew that humans have such a holiday, and during the holiday, students at Hogwarts can choose to go home.
Mrs. Norris:(=xェx=)
How come this guy doesn’t know anything?
It's no wonder that Lovell is ignorant. Although it is a descendant of wizards, it has never had much interaction with human society, and it doesn't know many conventional things at all.
For example, the custom of Christmas. How could animals living in the Forbidden Forest celebrate a human holiday like Christmas? Even centaurs, whose intelligence and socialization are comparable to humans, would not celebrate such a holiday. It can know that there are
Such a festival is already amazing.
"To put it simply, Christmas is..." Mrs. Norris briefly told Lovell the origin of Christmas and some of the customs that humans will observe during Christmas.
The most important and core part of Christmas is giving gifts to each other. If the other party prepares a gift for you but you don't prepare a gift in return, the scene will definitely be very embarrassing.
"You know a lot!" Lovell praised Mrs. Norris from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, Mrs. Norris was simply a "jack of all trades" who understood everything and knew everything.
"It's nothing, it's just that you live a long time and see a lot. If you get along with humans for a long time, you will understand everything." Faced with the wolf cub's praise, Mrs. Norris had nothing on her face, but the end of her slightly trembling tail showed that she
Inner joy.
This was the first time she received such praise from the same kind of people.
"Remember to choose gifts that are in line with human preferences. I remember the first time I gave a mouse to Argus, he didn't seem to like it very much. Later, I used students who broke school rules as gifts, and he was much happier." Look at it.
Because Lovell was so sweet, Mrs. Norris kindly reminded him to prevent him from making a joke like she had done before.
"Oh, okay." Lovell nodded, but his mind was not on this. He was thinking, wasn't Filch very angry when he caught students who violated school rules? Why would he like this kind of gift? The wolf cub has some
Don't understand.
After Mrs. Norris left, it belatedly thought of a question: What gift did it want to give?
As for who to give it to, there is no need to worry about it. He must be giving it to Hermione. Dumbledore is just a moving meal ticket, not his master.
There is only one sun in Lovell's heart: Hermione Granger!
"What should I give you?" Lovell rolled on the ground, totally confused.
[Choose gifts that match human preferences]
So what does Hermione like?
Lovell then realized that he didn't know Hermione that well, and he didn't know what her favorite thing was.
No, Hermione's favorite thing is of course this wolf cub!
"Then why don't you give yourself as a gift?" Lovell thought of a crooked idea. However, after thinking about it, he gave up on this somewhat perfunctory idea.
But there seem to be a lot of books in Hermione's bedroom? She also said that she often reads, so why not get her a book?
With this idea in mind, Lovell returned to Dumbledore's office. However, just like there is no wife in the wife cake, and there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork, there is no Dumbledore in Dumbledore's office, and no one knows that the old man has gone.
where.
But it doesn't matter, there is no bad old man, Lovell still has people to consult.
"Fox~~~" Lovell climbed to the second floor of the cabin, stuck his head through Fox's bird hole, and called out his name.
Fox:?!
When it closed its eyes and fell asleep, it suddenly heard someone calling its name. As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw a wolf head blocking the door of its house, staring at it with its big eyes.
Although Lovell's eyes could not be called a tiger's gaze, it could be said to be an "eagle's gaze upon a wolf." Being stared at by such eyes made Fox's feathers stand up.
"What's the matter?" Fox suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and asked calmly.
"Where can I get a book? I want to get a book."
"There are many shops or vendors selling books in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village. If you just borrow books, the Hogwarts library also has a rich collection, but it is only open to students and teachers." Fox gave.
There are three alternative answers.
Lovell was confused.
