On Christmas morning, Malfoy Manor was peaceful. The house elves quietly sorted the presents from the owls and piled them under the huge Christmas tree, waiting for people to wake up.

In fact, two people had already woken up early, and at this time the two were entangled with each other through a door. They were the guests Snape and Rogers who arrived yesterday.Standing outside the door was Snape, who was rarely dressed in black. He was clutching his pocket with his hands down. In his pocket was the Christmas present he wanted to give Rutgers.

Snape, who was standing outside the door, thought about the scene when he went downstairs just now. He knew that everyone hadn't woken up yet, and he got up early in the morning just to take a look at the Christmas tree. The most anticipated Christmas in ten years.He found his Christmas presents under the Christmas tree, roughly counting the number of them, which was almost the same as in previous years, and the gift he was most looking forward to and the only one he would open was not among the pile of presents.However, when he touched the hard object in his pocket, Snape felt a little more at ease. Maybe Rogers, like himself, hadn't put the presents under the Christmas tree yet.

With such a guess, Snape took out the small box in his pocket, hesitating whether to put his gift in the pile of gifts belonging to Rogers.Thinking that this was the first Christmas present, Snape felt that he should give it to Rogers in person, even if it wasn't an engagement ring.Snape put the small box back into his pocket, and strode back towards the original path. The hostess Narcissa thoughtfully arranged that Rogers' room was next to the room he occupied all the year round.

Thinking back to the present, Snape certainly couldn't hear any sound from the soundproof door at Malfoy Manor. He was familiar with Rogers' life and routine, so he knew that Rogers was up at this time without listening to the sound, and he was still in bed. Woke up for a while.However, the strange thing was that Rogers hadn't opened the door yet, and Snape still wanted to wait for Rogers to come out at the door, and then handed the gift to Rogers.The first gift of Christmas is definitely more meaningful than putting it under the Christmas tree among a lot of presents.

On the other side of the door, as Snape thought, Rogers got up on time strictly according to his schedule, washed and changed clothes under the thoughtful preparation of the house elf.Since it was a holiday at a friend's house, he didn't bring his shield when he came with Snape, so instead of wearing the mock military uniform as usual, he put on the casual clothes prepared by the house-elves.The gift he picked out when he was in the Muggle world last night he carried with him all day was placed by the lampstand before taking a bath last night. Now that he had changed his clothes, he picked up the gift and stroked the silver ribbon that the clerk helped him tie on it.

Rutgers went out yesterday morning to deposit all the gifts at the post office in the wizarding world, and asked the staff to owl the corresponding person on the card on the gift on Christmas morning, leaving only Snape. A gift was not handed over to the staff.Rutgers felt that it was too strange to use an owl to give gifts when people were around. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the two were chatting and the owl flew in with a gift?

So Rutgers kept Snape's gift instead of sending it by owl, but another question came up, should he give it to Snape in person, or put it under the Christmas tree?Just now he asked the house-elf that the presents were sorted and placed under the Christmas tree, but he asked the house-elf if he had seen the gift that Snape gave him, and the answer he got was that the house-elf almost used it. A no-nonsense answer.

After hesitating for a long time, Rogers decided to open the door and go out to find Snape, and at the same time Snape was about to knock on the door.When Rogers walked to the door with the gift and opened it, he saw Snape who raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door.

"Good morning." "Morning." The first reaction of the two was to say hello, and then they stood in place, looking at each other.

Snape noticed that Rogers was holding a small gift box in his hand, wrapped in green glossy paper with a silver ribbon tied in a style reminiscent of Slytherin.Boldly guess, that should be the gift that I was looking forward to early in the morning.

Rogers, who was a little surprised that Snape was standing at the door, came to look for him so early, and saw Snape lowering his hand that was about to knock on the door. The defense here is very good and the sound insulation is not to mention, he didn't know Snape at all. How long had Nepe been standing at the door?Thinking about asking about the house-elf just now, and remembering that he was still holding the gift he wanted to give to the other party, Rutgers raised the gift box in his hand and handed it to Snape: "Merry Christmas."

Glad that his guess was correct, Snape reached out to take the gift in front of him, and then took the gift from his pocket, "Merry Christmas."

Whether it was a coincidence or a tacit understanding, the gifts the two chose were all small things, but neither of them could guess what was inside.Snape didn't notice when Rogers picked out the gift that day, and Rogers didn't see that Snape bought anything, maybe he had prepared it long before he went out that day, except to make sure it was all Except for small items, the two couldn't guess what the other party gave them.

Instead of continuing to stand at the door holding gifts and guessing wildly, it is better to sit down in the room and the two of them unwrap the presents together.The two entered the room and sat on the bench, both made the same movement, looking down at the gift in their hands.Rutgers looked carefully at the box in his hand. It was not wrapped in gift paper. It was a smooth flat wooden box that he couldn't see what kind of wood it was, with a small button on the side.

Rogers slightly raised his head and looked at Snape beside him. His hair was tied loose today, and he couldn't see his expression clearly as he lowered his head and studied the gift in his hand.Rutgers was curious about what was inside, and twisted the button to open the wooden box. Inside was a pair of almost transparent half-fingered gloves.Taking the half-finger gloves out of the wooden box, the gloves are light and fluffy, and the fingers feel very soft. Rutgers didn't know the fabric of the half-finger gloves, but he was very excited to put them on his hands immediately. The size is just right, move the palm of your hand and feel that the gloves are very close to the skin.

"I made these gloves using alchemy from the mane of the unicorn patriarch. They are much more practical than the ones you bought from Madam Malkin." Just as Rogers fondled the gloves, Snape Explain the material and function of this glove to Rogers, "It is highly flexible, has a good defensive effect, and has the blessing of the patriarch, so it can be worn for a long time."

"That's amazing, Severus!" Rogers didn't expect Snape to make a pair of gloves as a gift. According to the workmanship and Rogers was with him most of the time, it is conceivable that this gift is Snape turned down Miss Cauldron's date and made it for him. Thinking of this, Rutgers felt his heart was filled with warmth and love. Think about who in the world can make this potions master even Miss Crucible turned down all appointments.

Bright eyes flashed Snape felt that this gift was worth it for Rutgers's pleasure, and he didn't think making these unicorn hair half-fingered gloves was any special feat at all.Even if other people know this, they will be so surprised that they will go crazy, and even use the mane blessed by the unicorn patriarch to make gloves, you must know that just one can be sold for a particularly good price anywhere in the magic world, let alone It is said that it can produce a pair of gloves, and the price of a standard small manor may not be as high as it.

"I also like your gift very much. A set of knives made entirely of mithril? It is stable in zooming in and out, and it is very convenient to carry in the field." Snape did not expect that there was a set of knives in the small gift box. Knife, looking at the thickness of the streamlined blade of the blade, etc., it can be seen that this is a master's work.

I really can't think of when Rutgers bought this set of knives. You must know that such a boutique mailing is impossible, and the two of them are often together recently.There is no need to pay attention to everything, this is a Christmas surprise, this usually small set of knives can be placed in his full baby medicine chest, of course, before putting it in, Snape wanted to go back to Huo immediately Gevoz, use this set of knives to harvest the sap weeds collected in the Forbidden Forest during the full moon.

"As long as you like it." Rutgers is happy that the gift he chooses can be liked by the other party.Rogers has a good eye for choosing knives, but he doesn't know the material and the magic pattern engraved on it. The clerk repeatedly emphasized that this is the best in the store, so he chose this set of knives with peace of mind.

In the afternoon, unable to survive Lucius' entanglement and nagging, Rogers was dragged into the fighting room to watch Draco's last training for the last time.Draco's last training was the day before yesterday, but now that Lucius is finally free, after learning that Muggle education pays attention to physical fitness from an early age, he is worried that his arrangements for Draco are not perfect. break out.

Pingping was shot down by a bunch of things flying out from all directions. At this time, Draco is currently conducting a project to train his defense. He needs to rely on his agile body and his brain to formulate a feasible plan so that he can If the time is exceeded, the result will be a terrifying attack of ten thousand bullets in the entire obstacle area. Fortunately, he has never encountered such a situation until now.

"According to the current progress, when Draco enters school in another year, his attack power will already be at the level of a fourth-year Slytherin. The growth of magic power is also very good, and the ability to use spells will surpass the current one or two. Grade." Rutgers looked at Lucius who was welcoming his son beside him, and said with certainty after analyzing the picture on the screen.

"Well, Malfoy's heir must have strong strength. To continue our family tradition, Draco must become the chief." Lucius patted Draco on the shoulder, feeling very proud.

Draco tried his best to straighten up and listen to his father's words, then looked at Rogers and saluted. Draco regarded Rogers as his teacher, although this teacher was often very busy, "Thanks to the teacher's help." teach."
