Chapter 167 Christmas Gift

The reason Afulo gave this gift was that the child had grown up and needed to pay attention to his personal image.

For this year's Christmas gift, Afro took the boy's growth into consideration and gave him something more mature than in the past.

After Harry got the perfume, he couldn't wait to spray it on his wrists twice.

The elegant tea fragrance exudes warmth and freshness, distant and clear.

This is the feeling that Harry brings to Aphrodite, so she chose the woody tea scent to represent Harry's unique scent.

"What about me? What about me?" Ron saw Harry holding an exquisite square glass bottle and checking his gift excitedly. He thought Avro gave the same gift to everyone.

"Why is my present a set of Quidditch training equipment?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to try out for the Quidditch team? This is perfect for regular training."

Ron sat on the carpet holding the wooden box with a disappointed look on his face, looking unhappy.

He didn't know why he cared so much about the difference between his gift and Harry's. It was just that seeing that his was not as thoughtful as Harry's made him feel that his relationship with the girl was not that close.

"Okay, how about I give you perfume next year too?"

“Is it exclusive too?”

Afro nodded. Her family had a lot of businesses, so it wouldn't be a big deal to open up a perfume production line for Ron.

Ron didn't know that his request was nothing to Afro, and he instantly became happy again.

See, his relationship with Afro is just like any other.

"You haven't finished dismantling it yet?" Hermione came out of the dormitory and walked down the stairs holding Crookshanks. Crookshanks was wearing a metal collar given by Avro around his neck.

Its name was engraved on the golden round plate. Hermione was holding the cat, revealing a part of her wrist, on which was a sea-blue gem bracelet.

"Don't bring it over here!" Ron screamed, squatting on the sofa with his upper body leaning against the back of the sofa.

Hermione ignored him and sat down next to Avro holding the cat. Avro scratched Crookshanks' chin, and the kitten squinted its eyes and raised its chin, enjoying it very much.

"I'd like to go see Professor Lupin later."

Afro's words attracted the attention of others. In their minds, Afro and Professor Lupin did not have much communication.

"Aphrodite..." Hermione looked at her with a frown. Although Professor Lupin was handsome and humorous, many girls in Hogwarts had a good impression of him.

However, if this person turned out to be Aphrodite, Hermione still hoped that she would be more rational and not just look at the appearance.

"I just went to see the elder. He and my father are friends."

Afro, who understood the meaning, couldn't help laughing, so she had to use Mr. Campbell as a shield.

"Then I'll go with you. I have something to ask him too."

Harry immediately said that he would go too, not because he wanted to go alone with Avro, but because he had no idea what to do after hearing the news he got yesterday, and maybe Professor Lupin, who knew his father, would give him more information.

At this moment, Crookshanks suddenly jumped on Ron's shoulders and hooked his pajamas with one claw. Scabbers ran out of his coat pocket, and Ron screamed angrily.

He tried to grab the mouse's tail, but accidentally kicked the leg of the sofa, causing Ron to jump on one leg in pain.

Crookshanks was jumping up and down in the spacious lounge with his fur flaring up. By the time they finished this "war", it was already noon.

At lunch, Professor McGonagall, who heard the news, took Harry's new broom away on the pretext of checking the rocket crossbow for any other traces of spells.

Although Harry was reluctant to part with the broom, he didn't know if there would be any problems with it, so he let Professor McGonagall take it away.

After lunch, Afro did not find Lupin in the professor's office. They walked along the snow-covered path towards the Owl Shed. When passing by the Whomping Willow, Afro was hit in the face by the Whomping Willow shaking off the snow.

Harry, grinning foolishly, brushed the snow off her face and dragged away the girl who was jumping up and down to fight to the death with the Whomping Willow.

After searching around Hogwarts, Avro and Harry finally met Lupin holding a wooden box in the corridor on the second floor.

"You are here."

He put the box on the floor and lit the candles in the house before looking at them.

"Thank you, Aphrodite." Professor Lupin hung his long trench coat on the hanger and took out a small bag of tea from the cupboard with a door missing. "You are really talented in potions."

"You're welcome, professor." Afro modestly said that her potion skills were average and Lupin's praise of her was too high.

They exchanged pleasantries for a while before Harry told Lupin why he was there. However, Lupin, after receiving a signal from Dumbledore, did not tell Harry the news he wanted.

But Lupin readily agreed to Harry's request to learn the Patronus Charm from him.

"Do you really want to learn it?" Lupin leaned against the wooden box, crossed his arms and looked at Harry, who didn't even tuck his shirt into his pants properly. "This is a very advanced magic."

Harry swallowed, his eyes vaguely falling on Afro who was standing aside watching the fun. Although his face looked a little pale, his voice was full of determination.

"I am sure."

"Side quest - Patronus Charm: The Patronus is a force of justice. If a wizard can summon it, it can act as a shield, causing the Dementors to change their targets and use it as food. So as a quester, you will definitely be able to learn this advanced spell. Quest reward: 10,000 points, no quest penalty."

After hearing the task issued by the system, Afuluo could only say that you are more capitalist than capitalists!

But she still accepted it with tears in her eyes!

Because they gave too much!

"Okay, everything is ready." Lupin stood up from the wooden box and glanced at Afro, "Mr. Campbell, what about you?"

"Professor, can I study?"

"Of course, but you have to know that this is an advanced spell that very few people can perform."

Avro nodded, but she did not leave the office, but stood with Harry.

Seeing that Afro did not leave, Lupin smiled with relief and seemed more energetic and lively.

"As it happens, I caught a Boggart in a closet. It can help you train instead of the Dementors."

Lupin rolled up his sleeves, took out his wand, and taught them spells and basic gestures first.

"Use it to recall some past events, happy ones, powerful ones."

Lupin guided them to concentrate their minds and practice familiar spells. He did not let them stand in front of the box until he thought their basics were pretty good.

“Remember the mantra, focus, and think of happy memories.”

"Well, the gentleman should set an example for the lady first!"

Harry walked confidently to the box, took a few deep breaths, and raised his wand in preparation for attack.

The slender fingers gently stroked the lock of the wooden box, revealing a gap in the box.

Harry's breathing became more and more rapid, cold sweat broke out on his palms unconsciously, and a huge fear swept through his heart.

He licked his dry lips and gripped his wand with all his strength.

However, sometimes, the greater the strength, the more powerful the spell is.

Harry's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
