I was Hermione's puppy at Hogwarts

"Really?" Hermione couldn't believe it. These were Phoenix's tears, and Lovell just gave them to her?

"Of course, there is no reason to go back on what I promised~" Lovell stuck out his tongue and repeated what he said. In its view, the tears of the phoenix are really not a particularly precious thing. There is no point in leaving them here.

It's not big either. Seeing as Hermione liked it so much, I might as well give it to her.

Seeing that Lovell was not joking, Hermione's breathing became rapid. She jumped out of bed and carefully placed the small crystal bottle on the desk. Then she felt it was unsafe and stuffed it into the drawer.

But putting it in a drawer didn't make her feel at ease, so she walked to a cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out a small red satin box.

With a click, Hermione opened the box, took out a necklace inside, threw it back into the cabinet, and then put Fox's Tears into the box, replacing the necklace.

"Isn't that true?" Lovell felt that Hermione seemed to be exaggerating a bit, but Hermione didn't feel this way at all. She even felt that she didn't pay enough attention to it.

"This kind of thing should be placed in an underground vault and covered with a safe." Hermione said seriously: "You can't imagine how precious it is."

Lovell blinked.

Well, looking at Hermione's reaction, it seems that Fawkes's tears are really rare?

Lovell didn't know that it might be the only forbidden wolf in the magical world, and Fox might be the only phoenix in the world like it. In the eyes of the wolf cub, it was just tears.

, how can it be so precious?

After putting away Fawkes' tears, Hermione put on her slippers and opened the door.

"Let's go, there are good things waiting for us downstairs." She looked at Lovell and motioned for him to follow.

Lovell glanced at Hermione confused, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

Hermione did not reveal the answer, but asked Lovell to go down with her so that he could find out once he went down.

Since breakfast had to be eaten in the restaurant downstairs anyway, Lovell quickly followed Hermione to see what her plans were.

When we arrived at the living room on the first floor, the answer was revealed: under the Christmas tree in the living room that everyone had decorated together yesterday, there were piles of colorful Christmas gifts.

These are all gifts sent by relatives and friends of the Granger family. Although there are not many, there are still more than a dozen.

Mr. Granger was already waiting for Hermione and Lovell in the living room, drinking hot tea.

"Merry Christmas, go and open the gifts, my baby." He looked at his daughter with doting eyes and pointed at the pile of gifts.

Hermione smiled and led Lovell to open the presents.

She walked under the Christmas tree, picked up a small package at the top of the gift pile, tore open the package very skillfully, and took out a box inside.

After seeing clearly what the box was, Hermione curled her lips and said, "Dental scaler, dad, are you kidding me? How can you give your daughter a dental scaler as a Christmas gift?"

"I asked someone to bring this back from Germany!" Mr. Granger shouted aggrievedly, as if he had been misunderstood: "It also has the function of removing dental calculus with ultrasonic waves. God, if you don't like it, just do it.

give me back!"

"I like it~" Hermione put the dental flosser aside and glanced at Lovell.

She came up with the idea of ​​cleaning Lovell's teeth another day.

Lovell, who was naive and ignorant, didn't know the bad intentions of the girl in front of him. He just wanted to see what other gifts Hermione had received. So he took the initiative to help Hermione pick up the second package.

"This is from Uncle Grace." Looking at the label on the gift, a strange look flashed across Hermione's face. After she opened the package, her expression changed to "Sure enough."

There was a set of teeth in that package!

Of course, this Uncle Grace is not some perverted weirdo. This is a tooth model made of sterling silver, extremely finely crafted, and exactly the same as the real person's teeth and jaw structure.

"The things that Grace guy sends are getting weirder and weirder!" Mr. Granger complained as he looked at the tooth model.

"Who is Uncle Grace?" Lovell heard an unfamiliar name.

"He's dad's college classmate. Their relationship... is very subtle." Hermione found it difficult to find a suitable adjective to describe the relationship between her father and Uncle Grace. Let's say they are good friends. They talk to each other every time.

Whenever they meet, they will always compare each other inexplicably, saying that the relationship between them is bad. However, the two have kept in touch after graduation, and they feel a bit like happy enemies.

"That's right..." Lovell nodded, no longer paying attention to these chores. Mr. Granger began to play with the model.

"Oh wow, the teeth on it are actually detachable!" Mr. Granger seemed to have discovered a new toy and played with it endlessly. This model is too boring for children, but it is just right for adults.

Next, Hermione opened the remaining gifts, which were nothing more than some books and small jewelry. There were no straight male gifts like dental molds that would make people look bad.

"This is our gift to you~" Inside the Christmas tree, there is a small package with a cartoon wolf head sticker on it.

This is a small gift prepared by the Granger family for Lovell.

Lovell opened the wrapping paper with his paw and saw a small heart-shaped box inside. After opening the box, he found a small bell made of pure gold inside.

The bell is very small, no more than the size of a fingernail. There are more than a dozen very small rubies inlaid on the surface of the bell. These rubies are arranged into a letter "L", which is the initial letter of the name "Lovell". Under the letter

, there is also a sentence engraved on it: [Given to the cutest little wolf in the world, Lovell]

The bell is very delicate, and considering that it is so mini, it is even more rare. I am afraid that only a master with superb skills can make such a bell.

It is indeed true that the entire bell was customized by Mr. Granger from a master watchmaker in Switzerland, and it took a lot of effort.

"Good-looking!" Lovell cheered, and he couldn't wait to hang the bell around his neck, next to the treasure bag.

"Wait a minute." Hermione called to Lovell. She untied the frayed ribbon around Lovell's neck and replaced it with a platinum necklace.

"This is much stronger." Hermione tightened the necklace around Lovell's neck, and then hung up the bell and treasure bag.

"Heavy." Lovell shook his neck and put the replaced ribbon into the treasure bag. For it, this ribbon had a different meaning.
