As soon as Till's gift was opened, it was almost lunch time. The Emery couple did not interrupt their daughter's gift opening moment because they also had many gifts to open.

By the time Teal came downstairs, the Emery couple had just finished dismantling the house, and Mr. Emery took the time to make lunch.

"My dear, have you experienced the joy of opening presents?" Mr. Emery put on an apron and brought out a large plate of freshly baked roast turkey. "My first Christmas was spent at Hogwarts, Merlin. Oh, I almost missed lunch opening presents."

Mrs. Emery, who had been opening presents all morning, rubbed her wrists and couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

She and Mr. Emery only gradually got to know each other in the third grade. Before that, as a young lady of the Black family, she had never had many friends. Most of the Christmas gifts she received every year were just to maintain superficial friendship.

She also began to recall her Christmas at Hogwarts. It was the first Christmas after her relationship with Mr. Emery was established. The Black family did not allow her to go home for the holidays, so she had to stay in school. Fortunately, Accompanied by Mr. Emery.

As for the first Christmas gift after confirming the relationship... Mrs. Emery's eyes fell on the dining table, where the turkey looked fragrant and crispy, with no sign of being burnt on the crispy shell.

Well, it was a huge improvement over the turkey that Mr. Emery snuck into the Hogwarts kitchen and roasted for her.

"It's indeed quite happy. Fortunately, it's only one day a year when I need to open gifts." Tier grimaced, "To be honest, opening so many gifts is also a pain."

"Silly boy, you have a birthday and you need to open presents." Mr. Emery took off his apron and personally pulled out the chairs for his wife and daughter. "Come on, let's enjoy Christmas lunch first, and there will be more in the evening. I’ve already prepared a lot of delicious food in the kitchen.”

Mr. Emery usually cooks in the Emery household, and Mrs. Emery occasionally helps with the cooking. However, most of the time the kitchen belongs to Mr. Emery, and Mrs. Emery will work alone while Mr. Emery But when you come, go in and help.

At Christmas time, the Emery family is accustomed to eating turkey for lunch and dinner, but the turkey for dinner will be larger and stuffed with more ingredients.

The Emery family finished the meal happily and enjoyed it. After clearing the table together, Till felt a little bored. The gifts have been opened and there are no study tasks today. What else can she do?

Till couldn't help but glance at the snow scene outside the window. Snow was still falling in the sky, and the snow on the ground was already piled thickly. She suddenly thought of how when she was a child, she always followed her parents to build snowmen in the winter.

Mr. Emery was going to be busy in the kitchen all afternoon, so Till went to find his mother like a coquettish person. After talking like a coquettish person for a while, he successfully begged his mother to take him to build a snowman in the yard.

But Till couldn't go out without wearing shoes. Mrs. Emery put two more winter coats on her body, a plush hat on her head, and a fiery red scarf around her neck. .

So fully armed, Mrs. Emery felt free to let her go out.

Fortunately, Till wore similar clothes at school, that is, since there was heating at home, Till wore less clothes. Now that he had turned into a round ball again, Till moved his body in a familiar manner, changing his shoes and going out with heavy but light steps.

Mrs. Emery followed Till every step of the way, building a snowman with her in the plain white world.

Teal had a pair of gloves on his hands, which made it a little inconvenient to build a snowman, but it was obviously impossible to take off the gloves under Mrs. Emery's nose. Teal himself didn't want to get frostbite on his hands, so he didn't want to get frostbite on his hands. Just pushing the snowball a little awkwardly.

When Till and her mother worked together to build a family of three - three snowmen, she happily found stones and branches to insert into the snowmen, pretending to be the snowman's facial features and limbs.

"Mom, look, they are more like humans!" Till clapped her hands, her long silver-white hair tied back and swaying with her movements. This touch of silver, even among the white snow, was Still eye-catching.

Mrs. Emery lovingly wiped away a little water color on Till's face, which was the trace left after the snow that Till had just thrown onto his face when he clapped his hands melted on Till's face.

Till just raised his face slightly and let his mother's gentle movements go. But when Tier squinted his eyes happily, he caught a glimpse of the corner of the villa opposite, and something seemed to flash past there.

"Mom!" Till subconsciously exclaimed, "There seems to be something there!"

Till felt that his eyes were sometimes too sharp. Last time he caught a fleeting black shadow in the Forbidden Forest, and this time he caught something unknown again.

I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"What!" Mrs. Emery's face changed drastically. Her first reaction was to pick up Till and take her back home. Then she shook her sleeves, held the wand, and stood at the door of the house warily watching Till point out. that corner.

Having been hunted for so many years, Mrs. Emery knew that she sometimes felt afraid of ordinary disturbances, but she did not dare to take a gamble.

She never doubted Teal's words. It would be fine if it was just an ordinary Muggle passing by. If not... Mrs. Emery's hand holding the wand became more firm.

If not, even if she risked her life, no one would harm Till!

Mr. Emery couldn't sit still when he heard the noise, but he didn't walk out rashly. Instead, he stood his wand in front of him and protected Till in his arms.

Between the couple, one person must always protect Till.

Mrs. Emery looked at that corner for a long time, but no one came out. After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Emery turned her head and gave Mr. Emery a look. After Mr. Emery nodded, she Closed the door and walked out.

"Dad, is it okay for mom to go alone?" Till was a little scared, and she took out her wand while nestling in her father's arms. Although underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school, the use of magic is allowed in life-threatening situations.

Mr. Emery touched Till's forehead and spoke calmly, but he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat: "Don't worry, your mother's magic is very powerful, we have to believe in her."

His words were not meant to coax Till. Mrs. Emery's magic power was indeed powerful. She had fought several times with Alastor Moody. Although she did not really defeat Moody, she was almost as good as Moody. A tie.

Mr. Emery would say that it would be more reliable for Mrs. Emery to stay and protect Till, but the timing does not allow the couple to change positions. All he can do now is to protect Till and pray that his wife will be safe. Return.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door of the villa, but Mr. Emery and Till did not open the door immediately because they were not sure whether it was Mrs. Emery who knocked on the door.

Fortunately, the person who knocked on the door spoke.

"I'm back." It was Mrs. Emery's voice. Mr. Emery rushed over and opened the door before he could even let go of Till. The father and daughter didn't feel relieved until they saw the intact Mrs. Emery with their own eyes.

The tip of Mrs. Emery's nose was red, blown red by the cold wind. She smiled at her husband and daughter: "The crisis is over, and I also brought a guest back."

Mrs. Emery moved aside, revealing the thinly dressed little boy behind her.

He has black hair and looks about three or four years old.
