From Hogwarts Legacy to Hogwarts

Chapter 176 Christmas Storm

When Halia walked out of the room and wanted to go downstairs, they saw Fred and George in the corridor. They saw the bracelet on Halia's wrist and the necklace around her neck, and walked towards Halia with a smile.

"They're all picking tiaras as gifts this year, and the two of us want to give you some less similar gifts." Fred smiled at Halia.

Hariya nodded and said that she liked it very much.

At this time, Ginny and Hermione also came out of the room, seeing Fred and George waiting at the door, Ginny smiled narrowly at her two brothers.And Hermione seemed hesitant to speak.The two of them were about to go downstairs when they heard George's voice.

"It's best not to go down now. Percy returned mother's sweater. Dad was injured in the hospital. He didn't even write a letter. He's such a fool. Mom was crying so sad downstairs." George said He shook his head while saying, "Lupine is downstairs comforting mother now, it's better for us to wait a while before going down."

Harry and Ron who came out of the next room also heard George's words, and they opened their mouths in surprise.Harry couldn't imagine how Percy would break up with the Weasleys so easily, and he, Harry, had never experienced the feeling of having parents since he was a child.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

Ron saw the package in Hermione's hand and asked curiously who it was for Christmas.Hermione said it was for Kreacher. Seeing Ron's surprised expression, she explained that it was not clothes, but a small flowered quilt.

She also knew that Kreacher had been in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix for such a long time and could not be let go easily, but at least she could improve Kreacher's living standard within the scope of her ability.

The voice downstairs died down, everyone looked at each other and walked downstairs.Hermione deliberately walked a few steps slower, walking beside Halia.

"Leah, Lupine is here now, do you want to show Professor Lupine the unsigned gift you received?" Hermione's voice was very small, as if she didn't want others to know.

Halia blinked. She had thought of this at first, but after hearing Ginny's teasing of Fred and George, she hesitated again.She was hesitant to let them know about the anonymous gift, and when she came out and heard about Percy returning the gift, she even forgot about it.

Halia nodded, thinking of her being followed at the Burrow recently, nodded, and said something, she went up to get it.Then turn around and go upstairs.When she walked downstairs, everyone was discussing her "anonymous gift".

Halia showed everyone the oil painting in her hand, and Fred and George took it at once, looked at it for a while, and handed it to Lupine and Sirius, with Mad-Eye beside him.

The older wizards are worried about whether there will be some dark magic attached to it.

Among the underage wizards, Ginny obviously didn't think so. She said that the painting felt very similar to Luna's portrait of her mother, and it was a painting with heart.

Ron and Harry also looked hesitant, and they mentioned two anonymous gifts Harry had received, the Invisibility Cloak and the Firebolt.They were all sent by people they knew, and there was no danger on them.

Fred and George looked worried, but from the tone of their voices, they hoped that it was a gift with black magic—only in this way could the painting be destroyed openly.

However, Mad-Eye's magic eye didn't see any abnormalities, and he, Lupine and Sirius also found no abnormalities during the inspection, so he returned the painting to Halia, telling her that it was just an ordinary painting, saying Maybe it was given by one of her friends who are good at painting.

Halia thanked Lupine and Sirius with a smile, noting the expressions of Fred and George.She walked up to the two of them and whispered to them, shaking the bracelet on her wrist, telling them that she still prefers this kind of jewelry that can be seen directly as a gift.

Fred and George held the painting in their hands again and curled their lips.Tell Halia that the painting is average, you can put the painting away, it is not enough to hang it.

When the people around heard Fred and George's words, they exchanged narrow eyes with each other and laughed tacitly.Everyone left the living room, not wanting to stay around these three people anymore.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, since the anonymous gift Halia received was fine, she planned to give Kreacher a Christmas present.But she, Harry, Ron, and Ginny, the four of them didn't see Kreacher when they were under the boiler cabinet where Kreacher would usually be.

All four of them were surprised and told Sirius about it.After Sirius heard about it, he glanced at Halia who was talking to the twins in the living room, and his expression became serious.

Halia, who was talking to Fred and George, seemed to sense it. She raised her head and saw Sirius and Hermione staring at her with serious expressions. She hurriedly got up and walked over to ask what was going on.Ginny, who was standing by, told Halia Kreacher about her disappearance.

Halia comforted with a dry smile and said that maybe Kreacher was cleaning somewhere else and was not seen by everyone for a while.But it didn't work. After hearing this, Sirius only reluctantly agreed, saying it was possible, so he went upstairs to look for it.

The few remaining people looked at each other in blank dismay.It's not known if Kreacher disappeared from the house, or if they just didn't find him.

Mrs. Weasley came over to remind everyone that it was time for lunch, after which they would go to see Mr. Weasley.But her voice was muffled, and she sounded like she had a bad cold.At the same time, Halia noticed that Mrs. Weasley's eyes were swollen.

After Christmas lunch, everyone went to St. Mungo's to visit Mr. Weasley.Mundungus did not know where to get a magic car. Mrs. Weasley wanted to refuse, but seeing the pleading eyes of the children and the fact that it was too cold outside, she finally agreed to let the children Take this car.

St. Mungo arrived soon, and Halia followed everyone all the way to the second floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.Halia saw the sign on the side of the stairs, indicating that this floor is the Biological Injury Department, which specializes in treating injuries such as stings and burns.

Halia followed into the ward, and she saw Mr. Weasley lying weakly on the hospital bed.She took out the prepared Christmas present and handed it to Mr. Weasley, wishing him a Merry Christmas.Harry and Hermione also handed over Christmas presents.

Mr. Weasley seemed interested in their Muggle-related presents, and thanked all three weakly.Of course, Mrs. Weasley's expression didn't look all that pleasant.

Soon, Halia heard Mr. Weasley mention "suture"-from Mrs. Weasley's reaction, it should be a Muggle word.Fred and George immediately tugged on her clothes, and Bill beside them, and they stood up.

"We need a cup of hot tea." The four left the ward together.
