Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil

The remaining gifts were mostly simple, without any valuable items. After all, most of the people he spent time with were classmates of similar age, all first-year students, and they didn't have much spare money. Being able to give a token of their appreciation was enough to make Puni happy.

In his view, the value of these gifts has never been in their price, but in the sentiment behind them.

Puni himself possessed considerable assets and was never short of valuables. In his eyes, none of his friends could be considered tycoons; compared to his family background, the others seemed quite ordinary.

Halfway through unpacking, a small box with an elegant floral pattern caught his attention. Upon opening it, he found a package of golden cookies inside, their aroma instantly filling the air. It was a gift from Qiu Zhang.

Puni tasted it.

It smells delicious.

Not bad.

Continuing to unpack, a box with simple packaging but unusually heavy came into view. Without even looking at the signature, Puni guessed that it was a gift from Marcos.

He opened the box with a smile, and the next second, a female ghost doll suddenly popped out.

The doll was pure white with bright red eyes and made soft whimpering sounds; it was quite lifelike.

He wasn't scared.

Merti was taken aback.

After realizing what was happening, Puni couldn't help but laugh.

It has to be said that Marcos really understands his preferences, knowing that he likes these novel and slightly exciting gadgets.

The box also contained a short message in which Marcos shared his holiday activities.

During his holiday, he made a special trip to visit his uncle. He was just trying his luck, but his uncle was very happy to see him and was very welcoming.

When he brought up the potion-making problems he had encountered at school, his uncle not only patiently answered them one by one, but also taught him some practical potion-making skills, which benefited him greatly.

In his letter, Marcos couldn't help but complain that compared to being harshly criticized by Professor Snape at Hogwarts and being constantly berated until he couldn't lift his head, learning from his uncle was much easier and more rewarding.

As Puni read the complaints in the letter, his smile deepened; he was genuinely happy for Marcos.

He knew in his heart that the reason Marcos's uncle was so attentive to him was mostly because Marcos was his only nephew. It was this familial bond that made the eccentric master lower his guard.

After reading the letter, Puni immediately wrote a short reply to Marcos, encouraging him to take advantage of the holiday to ask his uncle for more advice and consolidate his knowledge of Potions: "No one in our year of Ravenclaws is particularly outstanding in Potions yet. In the future, the task of competing with other houses for credits in Potions class will depend entirely on you. Don't let me down."

He knew Marcos's personality too well; he was a little vain and liked to be recognized. Motivating him in this way was far more effective than simply encouraging him.

After unpacking all the gifts, Puni was most satisfied with and liked the gift sent by Aunt Narcissa the most: a tailor-made dress.

The dress is made of soft and silky fabric, with delicate subtle patterns embroidered on the neckline and cuffs. It is understated yet elegant, suitable for formal occasions without being overly fussy, and shows great attention to detail.

It's clear that Aunt Narcissa put a lot of thought into it.

Puni gently took out the dress and draped it over her arm.

To be fair, although Aunt Narcissa still harbors resentment towards his decision to join Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin as she had hoped, she has never expressed any obvious dissatisfaction.

Prior to this, Puni had never known that this aunt, who usually appeared elegant and dignified and unapproachable, actually enjoyed making clothes for her younger relatives by hand, just like any other mother.

Looking at the well-fitting and exquisite dress, Puni couldn't help but think of Draco.

Aunt Narcissa's affection for Draco was undisguised; she took care of everything for him, spoiling him like a flower in a greenhouse.

No wonder Draco always had a somewhat spoiled nature and never seemed to grow up.

With a mother who indulges him in everything and cherishes him wholeheartedly, it would be difficult for anyone to mature quickly.

Just as her thoughts drifted to Draco, Puni noticed an unopened box under the Christmas tree, signed with Draco's name.

He walked over with a smile, unpacked the box, and a transparent glass box came into view, inside which was a model of a fire dragon.

Immersed in the joy of unwrapping gifts, time flew by, and before we knew it, it was almost noon.

Puni finally finished tidying up all the gifts, changed into the dress that Aunt Narcissa had sewn by hand, straightened her neckline in front of the mirror, and prepared to go out to visit her relatives.

According to the plan, the first place he was to visit was the Blake family.

Before setting off, Puni wrote a short message to Regulus, informing him that he would be paying him a visit, and then waited quietly for a reply.

Not long after, he received a reply from Regulus, who said that the fireplace had been connected and that he could simply apparite there through it.

Puni immediately went to the fireplace in the living room, grabbed a handful of green Floo Powder, and gently sprinkled it into the fireplace flames.

He then jumped into the raging flames.

After a slight dizziness, he stood steadily in front of the fireplace in the old Blake mansion.

As soon as he stepped out of the fireplace, he saw the Regulus family waiting for him not far away.

Regulus held his wife's hand, with their child standing beside them. The family wore gentle smiles, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere. They were clearly a happy and fulfilling family.

Looking at the scene before him, Puni couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

Such a simple yet warm family atmosphere always makes people feel at ease and comfortable.

The Regulus family warmly welcomed Puni, and the table was laden with exquisite dishes. As they ate, they chatted about the fun things that had happened during their holiday.

The lunch was relaxed and pleasant. Afterwards, Regulus took Puni to an open area in the living room, intending to have a good chat about their recent situations.

The two chatted about everything from Hogwarts lessons to trivial matters in the wizarding world, from potion recipes to wand properties. As they talked, a thought suddenly popped into Puni's mind.

He wanted to test just how far his magical abilities had progressed.

During this time, he studied hard at Hogwarts and his magic increased rapidly, but he never had the opportunity to fight against a real adult wizard, nor did he know what level his strength was at.

Puni looked up at Regulus: "Uncle, I have a request for you. Could you accompany me in a duel? I want to test my current magical abilities myself."
