Chapter 101 Sea King

It's not that Fish was stingy and didn't want to give it, it was just that Professor McGonagall suddenly asked him to give a gift, which made Fish a little confused.

In Kitty's concept, Christmas should be a day for others to give him gifts. Why is it that he suddenly wants to give gifts to others?

"This is the etiquette between friends. Although no one will say anything if you don't give it, but Fish's friends will be very happy if they receive the gift from you on Christmas."

Professor McGonagall patiently explained while playing with Fish's cat ears and tail.

"You don't have to give away elders like me and Dumbledore. You just need to consider your friends who are about the same age as you."

"Friends of about the same age... Meows like Scarhead and the others?"

Fish reached out and covered his cat ears to prevent Professor McGonagall from pinching them again. He tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"In that case Fei Xu will have to prepare a lot of gifts, nya..." He frowned in distress. ω

Regretfully taking back the hand on Fish's head, Professor McGonagall could only grab his tail and twist it back and forth, while saying: "It doesn't matter, just make a list and I'll help you prepare gifts together."

"Well..." Feishu started counting on his fingers, "Scarhead, Little Fatty, Red Hair No. 234, Heiwa, Explosion..."

The first thing that came to Feishu's mind were naturally his five roommates and the twins who had been in solitary confinement together.

"Wait, did you miss someone?"

"Meow?"

"The Weasley family also has Percy. You gave away the other three and only missed him. This will make him very sad."

Professor McGonagall still admires Percy, otherwise she would not recommend him to be a prefect.

"But No. 1 is much older than me. Minerva, you said it would be fine as long as it's about the same age?"

Feishu tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"Well...I said about the same age, including students from all grades."

Professor McGonagall had no choice but to correct her further.

"Oh... then there is also the red-haired No. 1, with curly hair, a large forehead, a silly big guy, and a short and chubby guy..."

"Three-eyed sisters, rat teeth, round faces, ponytails No. 1, 2, 3, 4, braids No. 1, 2, 3, cookies, cream, goblet..."

As Fish counted down one by one, Professor McGonagall tried hard to match the nickname Fish said with its real name, but gradually, she seemed to feel that something was wrong the more she heard it...

Did Fish mention too many girls?

But when you think about the inexplicable affinity and cute appearance of your cat cub, plus the fact that he is usually occupied by girls, this situation is understandable.

Understandable, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but sigh, "Fish, when you grow up, you can't play with girls' feelings at will."

"Meow? Minerva, what are you talking about, meow?"

"It's nothing," Professor McGonagall laughed and shook her head. Fish couldn't understand this at all now, and she thought too much about talking to him about this. She quickly interrupted: "You should continue to count people, we are going to send them off at once. With so many gifts, we have to spend a lot of time preparing them.”

"Oh..." Feishu shook his ears, but did not take what just happened to heart, and continued to lower his head and raise his fingers, "Yutou, narrow eyes, Komi, Loris, Lu Wei, Banban, Fox, Fang, Brandwarden, Wu Wu, Celestia, Austin, Buckbeak, Mork..."

Hearing Fish suddenly calling out names instead of nicknames, Professor McGonagall couldn't turn around for a moment. He was still thinking about who the students were calling these names. It took him a long time to react. Fish said It's his animal friends.

"Your animal friends don't have to give away..."

Professor McGonagall, dumbfounded, stopped Fish, who was still saying his name.

"Meow?"

"Because they don't celebrate Christmas. This is a habit only found here among humans, so you don't need to give them gifts."

Knowing that Fish still regards himself as a cat, Professor McGonagall carefully considered his words in order to take care of his mood, explained to Fish, and then specially added: "Of course, if you really want to You can give it as a gift, I will help you prepare a gift.”

"It's not Christmas for centaurs either, meow?"

Fish is not as sensitive as Professor McGonagall thought. He usually exchanges things with his animal friends, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't prepare special gifts for Christmas. He just thinks that the appearance of centaurs is closer to humans, so there are many special gifts. asked.

"Yes, centaurs have their own festivals, but if there were centaurs living in human society, they would not exclude celebrating Christmas together. The purpose of the festival is to bring everyone together to have fun."

"Like us Meow?"

"Yes, just like us."

Professor McGonagall nodded helplessly, knowing what he meant - just like the two cats living among humans.

It seems that it will take some time to change Fei Xu's perception of himself...

Although helpless, Professor McGonagall is still very confident. Fish has grown a lot since coming to Hogwarts to go to school. I believe that after some time, he will be able to truly integrate into it.

"What about Comey and the others?"

Fischer didn't know what Professor McGonagall was worried about, so he mentioned the house elves again.

It seemed that Fish would not give gifts to the house elves. Professor McGonagall was stunned for a while, and then replied after a while: "As long as it is not a gift of clothes, I think the elves will be very happy, and they are basically Together, we can just give them a big bag of chocolates or something.”

"Okay, meow! Let's get rid of Lu Wei and the others, we need to prepare..." Fish silently counted the human friends he just counted, and then added the portion given to the collective elves, raised his hands high, and gestured with one hand. 2. Point to four with one hand and shout: "A total of two hundred and fourteen gifts, meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)

"Really... Fei Xu has so many friends."

Professor McGonagall twitched the corner of her mouth, coiled Fish's tail, and had a slight headache. This was almost two-thirds of the school's students. Having such a charming kid was also a blessing.

Professor McGonagall is not worried about money. She has just prepared more than two hundred Christmas gifts. As long as she doesn't give anything valuable, it won't actually cost much. The problem is that she has to pack them one by one and write greeting cards.

Fortunately, she had excluded those animal friends. Even so, it would take a long time to prepare the two hundred and fourteen gifts.

Also, the school's owls are probably going to be exhausted during Christmas... Even with the help of house elves, it's still a huge workload.

Maybe I'll go to Hogsmeade and borrow the owl there.

After figuring out how to distribute the gifts, Professor McGonagall then asked, "So what gifts does Fish plan to give to his friends?"

"Eat it, meow?"

Feishu shook his ears, and the first thing he thought of was food.

Professor McGonagall nodded silently. This was very Fish's style, and it was also relatively simple. She only needed to buy a large number of snacks from Duke Bee.

As for letting Fish choose gifts according to everyone's preferences...

Even Professor McGonagall sometimes wants to be lazy. It is better for Fish to worry about this kind of thing in the future.

"I understand, I will prepare the gift for you."

Professor McGonagall, who did not intend to cause more trouble for herself, continued to say to Fish: "But you need to write the greeting card yourself."

"Meow! Why does meow still write?!" ∑(●ΦДΦ●)

If you were to ask what Fish was most resistant to at the moment, apart from Minerva's nagging, it was definitely writing.

Professor McGonagall also knew that Fish didn't like writing, but she just wanted to find opportunities to get him used to it.

So Professor McGonagall patiently explained: "This is also part of the festival. Greeting cards represent your holiday wishes to your friends. Among the Christmas gifts you received before, weren't there also greeting cards given to you by others?"

Fish recalled that there were indeed some small cards among the Christmas gifts in the past, but he had always been quite resistant to words and had not read them carefully at all.

"Minerva can't write meow for me?"

Fish gently tugged on Professor McGonagall's clothes, a pair of cat ears hanging down on his head, looking pitiful.

"Sorry, no!"

Professor McGonagall rejected Fish's request with great perseverance.

"Fish doesn't like Christmas, meow!" (●ΦДΦ●)

In the original book, it seems that Harry and Ron never gave Christmas gifts to anyone in the first three years. They only mentioned it during the Goblet of Fire. Of course, it may be that Rowling didn't write it.

But the list of gifts Harry received in the first three years did not include Ron's gifts, only sweaters and snacks from Molly. Maybe Ron didn't have much money at that time and couldn't afford them.
