HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 104 Could you at least eat a little more chocolate frog?

After unwrapping the gifts from the elders, it was time to receive gifts from the good friends.

Elaine continued to disassemble them one by one in order.

Harry gave them a bag of Flavored Beans;

Ron gave him an incomplete set of Chocolate Frog celebrity cards;

The Weasley twins sent a bag of prank candy together;

Neville gifted him a set of wand armor;

Hermione gave him a quill pen;

Malfoy gifted him a brooch, which looked quite expensive;

Daphne gave him a black handmade knitted hat with his name woven in white thread.

Ernie gave him a set of 12 Hufflepuff badges, the kind that can be worn on formal occasions;

Justin gave him a copy of the Muggle version of "Fashion and Style" magazine;

Hannah gave him a bottle of fruit wine she had made herself. It wasn't very strong, and Elaine took a small sip. It tasted sweet.

Susan gave him a sheet music book;

Cedric sent a box of cookies he had made himself:

Qiu Zhang gave him a box of Chinese tea, which was probably the most expensive gift among all the presents.

Everyone who got along well with Elvin gave him gifts.

These gifts may not be practical or precious, but they all represent the care and blessings of his elders and friends, making him feel truly integrated into Hogwarts.

After unwrapping all the gifts, Elaine lay contentedly on the sofa, feeling warm inside.

During lunch, Elaine met Harry, Ron, and the Weasley twins in the dining hall.

"How was the gift I gave you?"

Have you seen it?

When the group saw Elaine arrive, they greeted him warmly.

"I looked at it, I looked at it—"

"The story is fantastic!"

"Captain America, with his strong will, and Iron Man, a genius scientist, are both Muggles, but they look like wizards."

"Is that a Muggle fairy tale book?"

Elaine shook his head: "It's not a fairy tale, it's a comic book!"

"This only started to become popular in the United States about half a century ago."

"Each of the books I'm giving you is different, so you can take turns reading them later."

The wizarding world has always had a strong sense of individual heroism, as can be seen from Quidditch, which is why everyone loves the superhero comics that Elaine gave them.

"Oh, and please thank Mrs. Molly for me."

"The clothes she gave me are very warm!"

As he spoke, Elaine lifted his cloak, revealing the wool sweater he was wearing underneath.

The group immediately understood what the sweater meant when they saw its design.

"Mom even knitted you a sweater?!" The three Ron brothers all looked surprised.

If non-school personnel want to send something to Hogwarts students, they don't need to know the student's specific dormitory number. They just need to deliver the package to the owlhouse, and the owls kept there by the young wizards will naturally deliver the item to their owners.

Elaine's sweater was a gift that Madam Molly delivered to the owlhouse at Hogwarts, and then Terf handed it to him.

Therefore, the Ron brothers were completely unaware that their mother had given the sweater to Elaine.

"Mom actually chose such a beautiful blue one for you?!"

"You know what? She knitted one for Harry too, but it was green!"

"But that's still better than mine. Every year I get a dark purplish-red sweater—"

Ron started to get upset as he spoke.

He felt that his mother treated others better than she treated him.

After discussing comics and gifts, the group started thinking about their upcoming holiday plans.

Hogwarts promotes a joyful education, assigning very little homework during holidays, usually just one paper per subject.

Ron and Harry haven't touched a single word yet because they've been playing for the past few days.

"Eleven, can I copy your homework?"

His tone was as humble as a rat's.

"Homework? What homework? Do we have homework?" Elaine stared, indicating that he didn't understand what Ron was saying.

Ron thought Elaine was faking it, and was secretly annoyed: My mother treats you like a son, and this is how you treat your brother?

For a moment, he became a little anxious: "Of course there are! One paper for each subject! Or are the assignments different for our two colleges?"

"Oh, that's what you meant!"

Elaine suddenly realized, and then, in the most calm tone, said something that shocked all four of them: "It's not that the academy's homework is different, it's that my homework is different from yours."

"I haven't done any homework since school started a week ago!"

"So my homework is practically nonexistent!"

Ron jumped up, his mouth agape: "You're not doing your homework? Seriously, bro?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

Harry couldn't help but interject, "If you don't do your homework, don't the professors deduct points from your grades or put you in solitary confinement?"

"At first, they would deduct points, but later the professors stopped deducting them because they saw that I kept making the same mistakes."

"As for confinement, it has never happened before!"

Upon hearing this, not only Harry and Ron, but even the Weasley twins found it unbelievable.

Why is that?

"What else could it be?"

Elvin shrugged. "Of course it's because I'm a good student. That level of homework is a waste of my time!"

This statement—

That's really hard to refute!

"The professors also know that I have a lot of responsibilities, as I have to teach the members of the study group in my spare time, so when I asked them if I could skip the homework, they all tactfully agreed."

Harry gasped in shock: "Did even Professor Snape agree???"

"Professor Snape?"

Elaine chuckled. "His method of solitary confinement is simply to have the students help him process potion ingredients."

The Weasley twins nodded in complete agreement.

They had been locked up by Snape more than once or twice, so they naturally knew his habits.

Elaine continued, "If I were to handle the potion ingredients, I would definitely make a mess of his potion room."

"He wouldn't choose to do this unless he didn't want those materials anymore!"

Is that even possible?!

Harry frowned. "But—isn't putting someone in solitary confinement only for dealing with potion ingredients? He could also have someone polish trophies or something."

"Weren't those things done by someone else?"

Elivin gestured toward the Weasley twins as he spoke.

The two raised their eyebrows smugly.

Harry was speechless upon seeing this.

Speaking of Snape, Harry was reminded of the question that had been bothering him lately: "What exactly is Snape going to steal from the fourth floor?"

The only clue was the name Nicolas Flamel that Hagrid had revealed in the cabin that day.

"Eleven, do you have any leads on Nicolas Flamel?"

Elaine, who was eating, paused and turned around in disbelief.

Don't tell me you still haven't found any information about this person.
