However, shortly after Wentworth returned to his dormitory, he walked out of the dormitory holding a gift box, came to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and returned to Hogsmeade village through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.
Wentworth arrived at an old thatched cottage and knocked on the door. A moment later, the door was opened from the inside, revealing a familiar face.
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Lupin."
Yes, this is Lupin's residence in Hogsmeade village.
After the start of this semester, Lupin returned to Hogsmeade village again. Every weekend, unless there was something they had to do, Wentworth and Cedric would still follow Lupin to learn spells regardless of the weather.
Seeing Wentworth coming, Lupin also showed a knowing smile and said, "Christmas is not here yet, Wentworth."
Lupin then led Wentworth into his own residence.
Wentworth responded:
"Mr. Lupin, I will be attending a Christmas dinner at Hogwarts on Christmas Day, so I may not be able to spend Christmas with you. So, I came here early today to spend Christmas with you!"
After saying that, Wentworth placed the gift box in his hand on the table in front of Lu Ping.
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lupin's eyes were touched. When Lupin opened the gift box sent by Wentworth, he found an exquisitely made windbreaker inside.
At this time, Wentworth said: "Mr. Lupin, please do not refuse this small gift from your student. You know, it means nothing to me!"
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lupin, who was about to refuse, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Then, at Wentworth's urging, Lupin took off the robe he had not changed for a long time.
Seeing Lupin wearing a brand new trench coat, Wentworth's eyes lit up and he said from the bottom of his heart: "Cool Mr. Lupin, it's time for you to find me a teacher's wife!"
Lupin smiled and patted Wentworth on the head. Just when Wentworth felt pain, Lupin said seriously: "Thank you, Wentworth."
Seeing this, Wentworth waved his hands repeatedly, and then said:
"Mr. Lupin, I haven't had dinner yet. You won't let me go back to Hogwarts hungry, will you?"
Lupin laughed and said:
"I'm ready!"
Because Wentworth had already told Lupin that he would come to visit him tonight, Lupin was well prepared.
Soon, a dinner that was not sumptuous but definitely warm was placed on the table by Lupin. What Wentworth didn't expect was that Lupin even took out a bottle of wine.
Lupin placed two cups in front of himself and Wentworth respectively, and said, "This is the red currant rum that is unique to the Three Broomsticks. I bought it with gritted teeth!"
Seeing Lupin pouring red currant rum into the glass in front of him, Wentworth was also excited, but he said, "Teacher Lupin, the school rules of Hogwarts clearly prohibit students from drinking!"
Lupin said disapprovingly:
This sentence made Wentworth speechless. Then, Lupin continued, "The biggest function of school rules is to remind you that there are things you haven't done, right?"
Lupin said, smiling and winking at Wentworth.
Wentworth was shocked to hear Lupin's words. He finally understood why Professor Snape, who was always strict, silent and serious, had such a bad relationship with Lupin and others during their time at Hogwarts.
Before Wentworth could think about it, Lupin in front of him had already picked up his glass. Seeing this, Wentworth quickly raised his glass and gently clinked it with Lupin's.
It was not until late at night that Wentworth quietly slipped back to Hogwarts and had a good sleep.
Soon, Christmas arrived, and as expected, Wentworth received many gifts. The gift boxes almost filled up half of the Hufflepuff common room.
Several Hufflepuff students who also did not go home for Christmas looked at the mountain of presents in front of Wentworth with amazement and envy.
As Wentworth looked at the Christmas gifts in front of him, he couldn't help but feel worried. How long would it take to unpack them all?
As Wentworth continued to open the gift boxes in front of him, he found that most of them were sent by wizards of the Witch Party, whom he had met only once. Of course, there were also gifts from Rosier, Abernathy and others.
In addition to the gifts sent by the members of the Witch Party, there were also many gifts from friends in Hogwarts for Wentworth, not only from Green and Cedric, but Wentworth even found a gift from Cassandra.
When he opened it, he saw that what Cassandra gave to Wentworth was a scarf. However, the workmanship of this scarf... was really not good.
But soon, Wentworth's attention was attracted by another gift.
Wentworth quietly looked at the object in his hand. Behind the skull was a hose made of unknown material. If you ignore the skull, the object in front of him looked very much like a hookah.
And above the skull, there is an inscription in German: For the greater good - 1898. Obviously, this is a magic item, and Wentworth's heart was in turmoil when he looked at the magic item in his hand.
Because at this time, Wentworth had already guessed what he was holding in his hand! That was what he had heard since the moment he crossed over - the prophetic skull of the Grindelwald family!
Wentworth's hand holding the skull was even shaking slightly at this moment. Then, Wentworth hurriedly flipped through the gift box that contained the prophecy skull, but found nothing. It was sent anonymously!
But after seeing this, Wentworth gradually calmed down. Although the prophecy skull was sent anonymously, Wentworth had already guessed who sent it.
It couldn't be anyone else, it had to be his own headmaster, Albus Dumbledore! Because today, perhaps right at this moment, there was another person who would receive a magical item anonymously sent by Dumbledore.
The recipient of the gift was Harry Potter, and the gift he received was the Invisibility Cloak, one of the Three Deathly Hallows! It can be said that Dumbledore was a repeat offender.
Thinking of this, Wentworth was suddenly not in a hurry anymore. He planned to find Dumbledore to ask for clarification after opening the other gifts.
However, soon, Wentworth took out another letter from the pile of gifts!
