"Dobby, what are you doing?!" Elwyn moved away from the little elf. "Don't lie on me like that in the future!"
"Dobby is very sorry, Young Master Elwyn!" Dobby screamed in panic. He jumped back and covered his mouth with his slender fingers. "Dobby just wants to wish Young Master Elwyn a Merry Christmas and bring him a present."
"It's alright, it's alright!" Elwyn said, his breathing gradually calming down.
He got up from the bed. In the darkness, he saw a large pile of things at the corner of the bed. They were all Christmas presents.
Dobby stood uneasily by the bed, still terrified that he had disturbed Elwyn's sleep.
He was probably the strangest house-elf in the world right now. He wore many pairs of socks on his feet. The outermost pair was a very festive color that reached the bottom of his shorts. He wore the clothes that Elwyn had given him some time ago. There was a small Christmas souvenir in the cuffs.
"Can Dobby give his present to Young Master Elwyn?" he asked in a shrill voice.
"Of course!" Elwyn ruffled his hair. "I have a present for you too!"
He dug out a wrapped box from his bedside table. Inside was a pair of gloves that he had specially bought for Dobby.
"Young Master Elwyn is still so generous, so noble, and so selfless. Not only did he give Dobby clothes, but he also wants to give Dobby a pair of gloves!" Dobby was so happy that his eyebrows danced. He opened the package. "This is exactly what Dobby needs …"
"Alright, it's just a pair of gloves!" Elwyn said, checking the presents on his feet.
The first thing he found was Hermione's present. Elwyn thought it would be another book. He did not expect it to be a sweater that Hermione had sewn herself.
It seemed that she had secretly prepared it in her bedroom. There were many threads on it.
Even though it was not exquisite, the meaning of this present was very precious.
After Elwyn put on the sweater, Dobby handed him a small package. Inside it was something he had made himself: a sock.
"Dobby knitted it himself!" the little elf said happily. "Dobby used his own wages to buy the yarn, Master Elwyn!"
The left sock was bright red, while the right sock was green. There was an unknown pattern on it.
"Thank you, Dobby!" said Elwyn, without asking what the pattern on the stockings was.
When he saw Elwyn put on his socks, Dobby was so happy that he teared up again.
"Dobby has to go, sir. Dobby has to give a present to Harry Potter!" "Then we have to go back as soon as possible. We've already started preparing the Christmas feast in the kitchen."
After Dobby left, Elwyn began to open the rest of the presents.
Harry gave Elwyn a magic book about ancient magic. Ginny also got a book. Ron gave a bulging bag of dung eggs. Corin gave him a photo album of the past year. Autumn gave him a beautifully made quill.
Frey and George gave him a new prank product and the latest product list.
Sirius gave him a magic tool that could automatically remind him of the time. Hagrid gave him a big box of candy. There were almost all kinds of candy, including Bibi Dobby Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frog, Bubblegum Super Bubble Gum, Bee Candy and so on.
Gabri also gave him a gift. It was a cute crystal owl ornament, representing good luck and blessings.
As usual, Lady Weasley sent a package with a new sweater and a lot of homemade meat pies.
Other than that, there were a lot of gifts from the other students. There were hundreds of them.
To Elwyn's surprise, he received a printed bat pendant from Elaine. There was a faint magical aura on it. It was sealed with a protective spell unique to the Blood Clan, which could be activated at a critical moment.
Not long ago, Elwyn specially ordered a batch of Bloody Lollipops from Honey Duchess.
These were Elaine's favorite sweets. He directly gave them to Keresis, who was pretending to be Moody.
From the looks of it, Elijah had indeed received his gift.
After another half an hour, Corin and the others woke up.
When Elwyn and Corin arrived at the common room, Harry, Ron and Hermione were already waiting there.
They went downstairs for breakfast and stayed in Gryffindor Tower for almost the entire morning.
The students were also gathered there, admiring the gifts they had received. Then, they returned to the hall and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch, which included at least a hundred turkeys, a lot of Christmas pudding, and a mountain of Kree Wizard Shortbread. There, they met Gabri.
Following Fred and George's suggestion, Elwyn and the others didn't return to the common room after lunch. They went to the field outside. The whole field was covered with white snow, and almost no one had stepped on it. There were only deep footprints left by the students of Durmstrong and Boothbottom as they returned to the castle.
Elwyn, Harry, Corin and the Weasley brothers had a snowball fight. Hermione, Ginny and Gabri didn't join them.
The three of them watched from the side, whispering about the ball and laughing from time to time.
When it was five o 'clock, they said that they had to go back to prepare for the ball.
"Going back so early?" Harry asked.
"Girls have to dress up. It takes a lot of time. Unlike us, we can just change into our formal clothes!" Elwyn said.
"They must be crazy. They need three hours to get ready!" Ron said in disbelief.
They didn't go back to the castle so early. Instead, they continued their snowball fight.
At seven o 'clock, when it was getting dark and it was difficult to aim, they gave up and went back to the common room.
The Fat Lady and her friend, Violet, were sitting in the picture frame.
Both of them were dizzy and drunk. There were several empty boxes of liqueur chocolates at the bottom of her picture.
"Bright light, yes, that's it!" She heard their password, giggled, and turned to let them in.
Now, the common room was full of boys, and everyone seemed a little nervous.
They teased each other for a while before returning to their bedrooms to change into their robes.
Elwyn's formal robe fit him well. The extra patterns on it gave him an aristocratic air.
Corin didn't think he would be attending the ball. His formal robe was ordered just a few days ago.
It seemed a little too big for his skinny frame, and it looked baggy.
