As they spent the whole 23rd in the train, Lucas only had Christmas Eve to spare and get his friends gifts ready.
Afterwards, he just nestled in the study and read a book for the rest of the day.
Vinda had directed the house-elves to furnish the room and the whole manor to make it exude a Christmas atmosphere.
"Lucas, I forgot to ask you one thing. The Malfoy boy came here before, and he said that you promised to give him an extra profit. Is there such a thing?"
Lucas nodded and explained: "That's right, if these pure-blood families aren't promised some benefits, they won't do things for you kindly."
Closing the book in his hand, he said with relief: "Don't worry, this profit belongs to the Malfoy family. Last time I talked about cooperation with him, I said less."
"At first I wanted to make more money, but I didn't expect to give it to their family in the end."
Vinda nodded, she will be responsible for the store's income and expenditure in the future so she must know those things in advance.
Like this, the first day of the holiday passed.
During this time period, Lucas did not forget to send Hermione a letter. Hestia seems to like Hermione very much, and she is very active in sending letters.
Overnight.
Suddenly there are many gifts under the Christmas tree in the living room.
Looking at the piles of gifts, Vinda gave Lucas a surprised look.
"Oh dear, I didn't expect you to be so popular!"
Lucas smiled slightly.
Passing the gift in his hand to the other party: "Aunt Vinda, this is your gift."
Seeing the women's perfume in the gift box Vinda raised her eyebrows with a very satisfied expression.
"Keep unwrapping your presents, I'll go out first."
When she left, Lucas sat directly on the carpet.
The first thing to open is the gift from the school professors.
What Professor Flitwick gave was a book on how to use spells.
Professor McGonagall sent a transfiguration guide. There are also notes from Professor McGonagall in this book, and it can be seen that she put quite a bit of effort.
Professor Snape sent a bottle of Felix Felicis.
It's very much his style, and the reason is also written on the attached card.
The potion was Lucas' reward for earning so many house points for the Slytherin house.
This awkward guy, even if he gave someone a gift, he still had to find an excuse.
Ms. Pomona, the professor of herbology, gave Lucas a manual on herbal cultivation.
But to say which was the most interesting gift, that must be Dumbledore.
What the old man gave Lucas was a biographical novel called "Son of Light".
The novel tells the story of the son of a demon and a human, Merlin the Great Mage.
Looking at the beautifully packaged book in his hands.
Lucas chuckled: "Do you want to tell me that even if you are born in the dark, you can go to the light?"
"If you had done the same with little Tom, maybe you wouldn't have these troubles now, Dumbledore!"
Since Halloween, Lucas and Dumbledore seem to have formed some kind of tacit understanding, and neither of them saw each other again.
He put the book aside.
Thinking of the gift he gave the old man, Lucas laughed again.
He gave away all kinds of wool socks won by the lottery. There's even a game console included.
Wool socks is what Dumbledore told Harry when he asked what he saw in the mirror of Erised.
I just don't know if Dumbledore will like it when he receives it.
Lucas continued to look at the remaining presents.
Hermione gave him a scarf, judging from the crooked pattern on it, it should be woven by herself.
Draco gave an out-of-print book on the habits and classification of dragons.
Such a book may be a treasure for Draco, but Lucas really doesn't like those winged lizards.
But he still put the book away.
As for Harry, he sent a Golden Snitch toy.
There are many more gifts and it took Lucas a long time just to unwrap all the presents.
But the gifts he gave to everyone were not bad either.
Especially for Draco's "Compendium of Famous Wizards of Modern Times" which has the information on Nicholas Flamel recorded in detail on it.
Let's hope Draco isn't always thinking about having fun this holiday season!
As for Hermione, what she got was a handbook of spells compiled by Lucas himself.
The technique of spell casting is recorded in detail above and he believed that Hermione would like it.
[Ding, holiday special: The platinum prize pool is now open, and the duration will last until 12 midnight, please spend as much as you want to, host!]
"Aunt Vinda, I have something to do, the rest of the gifts will be unwrapped later!"
After saying that, Lucas walked quickly to his room.
"System, draw immediately, platinum prize pool."
[It is detected that the host has a total of 7350 achievement points, and 36 lottery draws can be carried out. Do you confirm the lottery draw?]
"confirm!"
The familiar prize pool reappears.
Streams of various colors flew out of the prize pool.
A few seconds later, the sound of the system came again.
[This lottery draw is over, and a total of 19 bronze rewards, 10 silver rewards, 5 gold rewards, and 2 platinum rewards have been obtained]
Lucas was taken aback when he saw the reward.
Thirty-six lottery draws, and actually got two platinum rewards.
The chances of winning in this festive special draw are really high.
After multiple draws, Lucas has roughly figured out the range of rewards in each prize pool.
At this moment, he is more curious about what he can get from the diamond reward above platinum.
Are there any higher rewards on top of diamond rewards?
