HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

"What were you talking about before?" When Malfoy came back, he seemed to hear them talking about something interesting, and asked with interest, "Take me one."

"We were talking about gifts." Licoris didn't want to say more.

"Yes." Nott saw that she didn't say much, and it was inconvenient to say more.

"Speaking of gifts, I have a lot of gifts for various festivals every year - what gifts do you like?" Malfoy thought Nott should like books, and Lycoris didn't seem to have any particular preference.

"Anything is fine." Nott rarely, or almost never, received any gifts.

Before the age of eleven, he had tutors like other pure-blood families and had few friends.

That is to say, after enrolling in school, she was dragged into the Good Hungry Club by Licolis, and she met these classmates who were just familiar to her.

"Me?" Licoris thought seriously.

I used to like to give myself precious metal jewelry on birthdays, which is why I came to this world. But when he said that he liked gold, silver and jewelry, it seemed like he was asking for such a gift, which was a bit greedy.

"There are various alchemy products, they feel very interesting." Licoris said, "For example, my waist bag can hold a lot of things."

Alchemical products?

Then she must like what I prepared, Malfoy thought happily.

and many more!

What suddenly occurred to him today? Got a gift?

Today is January 1st, and it’s not Christmas, nor is it a housewarming. How can I receive gifts?

Malfoy thought carefully about any reason today that could be related to gifts.

No... birthday?

Fortunately, I prepared a birthday gift last year, but I never saw her birthday.

So her birthday is January 1st?

I am born on June 5th, is she half a year older than me?

Nott is also older than me. He was born on November 22, 1979.

Well, it’s still Thanksgiving.

Am I the youngest?

Malfoy was depressed, thinking that he was the oldest, at least he should be older than Lycoris, right?

Why did he suddenly wilt? Licoris raised her eyebrows and looked at Nott, silently asking.

Nott shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.

"I'm going to read a book." After chatting for a while, Licoris got up and left.

"Is it her birthday today?" Malfoy asked in a low voice.

"I guess so." Nott thought for a while, "Are you going to prepare a gift?"

"She doesn't seem to have a birthday?" Malfoy said uncertainly, "You celebrated Christmas last year at school. Did you see her birthday?"

"No, every day of Christmas is the same," Nott added, "I just found out that her birthday is today."

"Then we want to celebrate her birthday?" Malfoy's eyes were burning, and he looked like he was going to cause trouble.

"Respect her wishes, she doesn't seem to want to." Nott quickly suppressed Malfoy's whims, just in case he planned to gather all the Slytherin students who had not returned home and start a Malfoy-style Party…

I can't imagine how speechless Licoris would be.

Moreover, this is too ostentatious and inconsistent with her personality.

"You make sense," Malfoy nodded, "What are you going to give her?"

"I don't know, let's go see if there are any interesting alchemy products." Nott planned to go to his pile of gadgets to see if there was anything she was interested in.

She and I were wary of each other last year and it was okay to disgust each other. This year we can give gifts.

How amazing, Nott thought.

What he gave was definitely not as good as his own, and Malfoy felt like he had won.

What kind of look is that?

Nott glanced at Malfoy, "Aren't you going to reply to your father?"

"Let's go!" Malfoy waved casually with the hand holding the letter, and left holding his candy box.

In the quiet common room, there was only the sound of turning books.

After dinner, Licoris was stopped by Nott.

"Here you go." Nott handed the girl a box and explained in her confused eyes, "Birthday gift."

"Thank you." Licoris opened it in front of him, revealing a small knife.

Palm size and looks delicate.

"This is an alchemy product," Nott explained. "It can open all kinds of locks and untie all kinds of knots. It also has many functions that you can study on your own."

The Swiss Army Knife of the Wizarding World?

"Thank you," Licoris stuffed it directly into the pocket inside her plain robe, feeling that it would come in handy in the future, "I like it very much."

"Well, that's good." Nott nodded and prepared to leave.

"When is your birthday?" Coming and going is the way to communicate.

"Drawing a line between me so quickly?" Nott raised an eyebrow.

"No, shouldn't birthday gifts be prepared half a year in advance?" Lycoris looked back.

"November 22nd." Nott added, "It's not my birthday either."

"Understood." Lycoris nodded.

But birthdays don’t mean you won’t receive gifts.

Slytherin common room.

You come to the Forbidden Forest at nine o'clock in the evening, alone.

Malfoy mysteriously threw a note to Lycoris, and she looked at his sneaky way and wondered if he was going to cause trouble again?

Visiting the Forbidden Forest at night?

Nine p.m.

Forbidden forest.

Lycoris could see the light golden head from a distance, and she walked towards it one step at a time.

"You're finally here." Malfoy turned his head when he heard the voice and handed her a rectangular box in his arms, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Licoris took it and looked at the complicated patterns on the packaging, "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look." Malfoy felt that she would definitely like it, and he wrote "please praise me" all over his body.

Licoris opens, knitwear?

"Scarf?" Lycoris took it out of the box and stuffed the empty box into Malfoy's arms.

Wider than a scarf, or much bigger.

Is it a dark green shawl with silver patterns?

"shawl?" Lycoris thought it should be more than that, otherwise how could he show off like this.

"It's a shawl, but -" If Malfoy had a tail, it would definitely be raised to the sky, "it's also a flying carpet."

Very Malfoy.

Flying carpet, disabled magic items.

"Why did you give this to me?" Licoris didn't understand his brain circuit, why did he give him contraband?

"Try it, this is a flying carpet from Asia." Malfoy was eager to try, "Make it bigger."

"Okay." Lycoris waved her beech wand, the shawl in her hand growing rapidly.

With a floating spell, it floats easily.

"Lower, get up quickly." Malfoy commanded, looking even more eager than Lycoris.

Lycoris, who was afraid of heights, had no intention of going up, but was forced to go up by his words.

"Did you still have a shadow from the last time you fell?" Malfoy saw that she didn't respond and asked, "I promise, the flying carpet will be fine."

Lycoris thought of a sentence and died after trying it.
