After spending a few minutes arranging the recruitment process and work matters for Gilderoy Lockhart, who was temporarily unemployed, Erina put down the several copies of "Me, The Magical Me" in her hands and turned her attention to the remaining Christmas gifts.

The second gift was a package from Hannah Abbott.

Compared to the books Hermione sent, the little tomboy was finally reassuring for once. The package contained handmade chocolates made by Hannah herself, but what made Erina a little strange was the note that came with it.

[I received your gift, I love it! The chocolates in the box are my first attempt, I hope Erina you have a Merry Christmas! Your best friend, Hannah Abbott.]

"Gift?" Erina frowned in confusion.

She didn't remember preparing any Christmas gifts for Hannah. She had been so busy these days that she didn't have the mood to think about Christmas at all. All her attention was focused on the collapsed Red Alliance.

Shaking her head, Erina put the note aside, along with the doubts in her heart. After the holiday, when Hannah and the others returned to school, she would find a chance to subtly inquire about it.

"Hermione, Hannah… this should be from Luna."

Erina glanced at the remaining gift box. One of them had a brightly colored cartoon card on it, with a small, exquisitely packaged envelope attached below. Opening the envelope, she found a thick stack of washed photos.

From the Hogwarts morning to the Hogwarts night; from the bustling Great Hall to the quiet and comfortable girls' dormitory; from a corner of the mottled city wall covered with vines to the dark edge of the Forbidden Forest overgrown with shrubs... Luna had quietly used her camera to record the scenery of the entire Hogwarts.

And in each photo, you could see the delicate smile of a silver-haired little angel.

"Luna, really..."

Erina sat on the carpet, looking at the photos Luna had taken for her one by one, a happy smile on her face.

Although she didn't think much of it before opening the Christmas gifts, because she had forgotten to send gifts out herself, so she didn't expect to receive any return gifts, but after unpacking these few gifts, she suddenly felt good.

"Hmm? Strange, it's a similar situation again."

After reading the magical photos Luna had developed, Erina casually opened the card and glanced at it, slightly stunned.

Similar to the contents of the note Hannah had sent earlier, Luna also mentioned "the gift she sent" in the card she sent, and said that she liked it super super much, and that Erina was her closest friend in the past ten years.

"That's strange..."

Soon, Erina, who had unpacked all the packages, sat on the carpet, muttering thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, there were no gifts from Dumbledore and Grindelwald among this pile of gifts.

In addition to her three best friends, there were also some small gifts from professors of various subjects at the school. Even Professor Snape, who was always cold, sent her a set of crystal potion bottles. Moreover, Mrs. Weasley, whom she had only met once, also sent her a red "Weasley" turtleneck sweater and a large box of her homemade fudge.

"Old Carrot and Old Potato, what do they mean?"

Erina looked around at the dazzling array of small snacks and the scattered assortment of quills, crystal potion bottles, a few everyday spell books, and the strange cards and replies that revealed strangeness between the lines. Her lake-blue eyes were a little suspicious.

Forget it, anyway, she hadn't expected to receive any Christmas gifts from the beginning, and it was already quite happy as it was now, but in that case, she would have to reciprocate every Christmas in the future.

What a headache.

Erina shook her head and didn't think about it any further.

...

A moment later, the Gryffindor common room.

If the girls' dormitory was completely dominated by Erina, then the Gryffindor common room could now be said to be almost half occupied by red - as far as the eye could see, the common room was almost full of Weasley boys.

The eldest, Percy Weasley, sat quietly at a square table by the wall, reading a thick book.

And near the entrance, the twins, who had just returned from the snowy ground outside, were shaking their wizard robes at the door. Judging from the pile of snow scattered by the entrance, it seemed that they had just experienced a very exciting snowball fight.

As for Ron Weasley, he was now with Harry, occupying the most comfortable armchairs by the fireplace, playing wizard's chess while eating all the food that could be poked with a roasting fork - bread, mushrooms, sausages, chicken legs...

As first-year wizards at the bottom of the food chain in the entire academy, it was rare for them to be able to leisurely occupy the best spots in this common room, which was usually reserved for older students.

Whoosh -

In this leisurely atmosphere, a small figure holding a pile of snacks taller than her, wobbled down from the girls' spiral staircase on the right, and then buried herself in the very center of the common room with a whoosh.

"Merry Christmas, everyone… these are the gifts I received, let's all eat together!"

Erina pushed aside the snacks blocking her head, poked her head out from the pile of sweets, and said with a smile to the wizards around her.

"Eh?! Erina Big Sister Head, you finally appeared."

Harry, who was staring at the chessboard and racking his brains, suddenly stood up, looking at the suddenly appearing white fluffball with a look of surprise.

"Hey! Harry! This game isn't over yet!"

"Just call it a draw, anyway, we have roughly the same number of pieces left."

Harry, who had finally freed himself from the chess game, waved his hand and said quickly - as a child who had just come into contact with Wizard Auto Chess, he had been rubbed on the ground by Ron these days, without any room for resistance.

Now that he finally saw Erina, who had been elusive these days, Harry would naturally not miss this rare break.

"A draw?! You're embarrassed to say that… Even if I give you a knight and a bishop, you still can't draw."

Ron curled his lips contemptuously, a look of pride on his face.

"Alright, Ron. Don't bully Harry, crushing noobs is not right. Eh? This is..."

Erina glanced at the look of help in Harry's eyes, smiled and shook her head, preparing to say something. Her gaze fell on the chess pieces next to Ron and Harry, and she suddenly let out a strange soft sound.

If she remembered correctly, Ron did bring a wizard's chess set to school, but it was already a very old and worn-out chess set, which looked tattered, giving people a particularly deep impression - Ron said that this was his grandfather's wizard's chess set.

But now it had been replaced by a brand new set of black and white marble chess pieces, which looked particularly exquisite and beautiful. At this time, Ron's queen was standing next to Harry's trembling soldier, rubbing her hands and preparing to deal a fatal blow.

"Oh, this is the one you sent, Big Sister Head! It's amazing, Seamus will definitely be envious when he comes back!"

Following Erina's gaze, Ron first nodded, beaming with joy, and then scratched his cheek a little awkwardly.

"Sorry, Erina Big Sister Head, you gave me such an exquisite and precious gift, but I accidentally forgot your Christmas gift. I'll definitely make it up to you next year - or, should I bake you some chicken wings to apologize?"

"Right, and the Quidditch manual you gave me, Big Sister Head, is also super great." Harry, who was beside him, also looked a little uneasy.

"...It's okay."

Erina was silent for a moment, her eyebrows twitching slightly, and she replied with a smile.

"As long as you guys like it..."

She suddenly understood what Dumbledore and Grindelwald had given her for Christmas.
