NOVEL FROG Chapter 21
Granger's house, downstairs by the Christmas tree, Hermione is opening presents
"Glenn, look! Professor McGonagall gave me the notes she made when she was in the first grade!" As one of her favorite professors, Hermione left her gift to be opened last.
Before that, she had already opened the gifts from the two adults, as well as Dumbledore's gift, and even Snape's gift.
Glenn also received gifts from the professors. Except for Snape's gifts to the two of them, which were a bunch of various potions, Dumbledore and McGonagall gave them different gifts.
The two children earned a little money in school by helping the professors, organizing materials, and correcting homework. In addition to buying a lot of magic snacks for their parents, the rest of the money they earned was given to Hermione to buy gifts for the professors..
As for the gifts Glenn gave them...
Do you remember the firearms Glenn had made in the Room of Requirement?
He gave Dumbledore an Uzi submachine gun. After all, Dumbledore should be the main force against Voldemort in the future. When he confronts Voldemort, he might be able to take out the Uzi from his robe and shoot Voldemort directly. With the excellent ability of the Uzi, you don't even need to aim at close range. The recoil is also small, which is suitable for the elderly. Just shoot and it's done.
He also gave Snape an M1917 American Smith & Wesson. Seeing his face full of hatred and sinister look, he made this high-powered revolver, hoping that he could shoot the enemy's head.
He gave Professor McGonagall an exquisite and compact Glock 43. The color scheme on it was approved by Hermione and was very suitable for Professor McGonagall's temperament. This gun was given to her as a self-defense weapon.
You can never use common sense to infer what a normal person will give you for Christmas.jpg
As for the gift for Hermione?
"Huh? Why can't I find the gift you gave me?" The little girl raised her eyebrows and questioned Glenn.
Glenn took out his gift, which was a brand new copy of"Hogwarts: A History of the School".
He handed it to Hermione. There was no other way, as the owl had just delivered the book last night.
Hermione took the book in surprise:"How did you know I wanted a new copy of"Hogwarts: A History of the School"》"
"You carry the book you borrowed from the library with you every day, and it's almost torn apart."You flip through it when you have nothing to do, it's hard not to notice it.

Hermione received the gift and was full of joy. Suddenly she saw the scarf Glenn was wearing."That... what do you think……"She hesitated"……How about the gift I gave you, do you like it?"
"Of course." Glenn touched the brown scarf around his neck. Although the knitting technique was a little rough, he could really feel Hermione's intentions.
"It's warm and cozy, I like it very much." Glenn briefly expressed his opinion
"Hehe, of course, after all, I knitted it myself!"Hermione put her hands on her hips, and frantically asked for praise.
Praise~
Glenn agreed with Hermione.
After receiving the gift, Hermione took out an ordinary notebook.
"This is the notebook that Professor Dumbledore gave me. It has infinite pages. What is going on? This is too magical. Hermione flipped through the pages but couldn't get to the bottom.
As a top student, she was very happy to have an infinite-page notebook, which was very helpful for her studies.
"This is an alchemical product. Dumbledore mentioned it in his letter to me. This book and the gift he gave me were both from an old friend of his, an alchemist named Nicolas Flamel."
"Strange, logically, an alchemist who can make such a magical thing should be very famous, and he is also a friend of Professor Dumbledore, and I should have carefully read the book"The Greatest Magicians in Modern Times", but I don't have any impression of it at all."Hermione frowned, she seemed to have never seen this name before.
No, I have to read it again later, and it's better to memorize it.
The little girl secretly made up her mind
"This is the gift I received." Glenn shook the black ribbon in his hand,"It is probably also an alchemical product, also made by Nicolas Flamel." He added
"The letter said that this black silk ribbon was made from dragon skin, retaining the property of resisting magic power while giving it a soft and comfortable feeling, preventing the magic power in my body from escaping from my eyes."Glenn tied it on his head, covering his eyes."It seems to be engraved with a magical alchemical formation that can nourish my eyes. I feel that the magic power forms a loop at the position of my eyes and then flows back."
"Dumbledore suggested that I keep it with me until I can fully control the violent magic brought by the Obscurus, which will bring me great benefits."
"But I obviously won't be carrying it around the house." Glenn untied it and put it away.
"But I am quite interested in alchemy, so I can try to ask Dumbledore about Nicolas Flamel one day." Glenn stood up and patted his thigh,"Let's go, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go out for a walk?"
"Let's go! I haven't been home for a long time. I heard from my dad that there is a new library on the street. Let's go there first."The little girl's eyes lit up, and she took Glenn's hand and was pulled up.
She had already planned to go there for the holiday!
……………………
The Christmas holiday was spent in a leisurely and happy atmosphere, and the two returned to Hogwarts to study magic day after day.
After Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall came to ask what the Christmas gift from Glenn was, and got a reply, the three had different expressions: McGonagall said seriously that this thing was very dangerous, while Snape smiled evilly, as if he thought of where to use this gun, and Dumbledore listened to Glenn's explanation of how to use it with interest. So Glenn
's life in Hogwarts had such an additional content: teaching three professors who were very interested in guns to use guns, and the location was set in the shooting range that appeared in the Room of Requirement upon request.
Whenever the three professors were training under Glenn's guidance, Hermione would stare at Glenn resentfully, because he would not let her touch the gun because the recoil was too large and it was easy to get hurt, which made the little girl very dissatisfied.
Why do they all have the gun you gave me but I don't! I'm going to make a fuss!
After Glenn promised to make the coolest gun for Hermione when he thought she could bear the recoil, the little girl smiled and forgave him.
Glenn asked Dumbledore about Nicolas Flamel and wanted to take Hermione to visit him and see if he could become his apprentice. Dumbledore told Glenn to wait for his news.
"I believe Nico will accept you two talented kids. After all, he is nearing the end of his life. As a friend, I also think that someone should inherit his legacy."Dumbledore stroked his beard with a smile. During the time he spent with Glenn, he had fully examined the character of this child.
Glenn has love in his heart, but not much. He can only give it to the important people around him. No matter who the others are, what happened to them, or what dangers they encountered, he doesn't care. The two contradictory behaviors of protection and self-preservation coexist in Glenn.
Dumbledore sighed. Even though he found that Glenn had a deep and strong killing heart, it would only be released because of the danger of the people around him. He still thought this was a good child.
Although it was not clear why Glenn had such a strong killing intention in his heart, Dumbledore respected his secret.
Dumbledore was not good at killing, but he felt guilty towards Glenn after all, so he had to find a way to slowly change his mind in the future and seriously guide him in the right direction.
He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes again and create the third generation of Dark Lord.
……………………
At the end of the semester, Glenn and Hermione ended their one-year magical experience life. After saying goodbye to several professors, they moved back home.
