Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

On Christmas day, when Link woke up from his sleep, the entire Flamel Castle and even the large surrounding green plant area had been changed into decorations full of Christmas atmosphere.

This was the result of Little Button and his fellow house-elves working hard the whole night.

They even created a huge crystal ice Christmas tree in the castle's main hall.

Under the reinforcement of the house-elves' special magic, even though the inside of the castle was warm like spring due to the fireplace, this ice crystal Christmas tree still showed no sign of melting at all.

However, Link believed the most Christmas-feeling thing in the entire castle was still the pile of gifts beside his bed.

Perhaps it was because yesterday, at the awarding ceremony, he got to know a bunch of Merlin Knight Order members, this time, Link received especially many gifts for Christmas. Just unwrapping them took Link the entire morning.

Although most of these gifts were all some kind of polite formalities, and they also took a lot of energy, the whole process of unwrapping gifts still made Link extremely happy.

After all, this kind of gift-opening thing, for Link, who didn't need to worry about giving return gifts, basically equaled getting something for free, and getting something for free could stimulate that most primitive kind of human joy.

Of course, among this big pile of Christmas gifts, there were still a few that had real thought put into them.

Just like the magical snowflake glass globe Cedric sent, inside was a Hufflepuff Quidditch player riding a flying broom, circling and chasing a golden snitch in the sky full of snow. As the little person flew, a light trail followed behind his butt, very beautiful to look at.

According to the letter that came with the gift, Cedric was currently studying alchemy, and this magical snow globe was the first finished product he made by hand.

A very meaningful gift.

Hermione gave Link two pairs of autographed football shoes. Unfortunately, Link didn't really know much about football, and the signatures on them were so wild and flamboyant that Link didn't recognize whose shoes they were.

But that didn't stop him from giving a moment of silence for Mr. Granger, and then placing the shoes into a special transparent display case in his room.

Madam Flamel, on the other hand, unusually didn't prepare any expensive gifts this year, but sent a beige-colored scarf.

To be honest, this scarf didn't look very good, there were no patterns, and the knitting wasn't very neat.

But after receiving it, Link still excitedly wrapped it around his neck. Because according to what Little Button reported, this scarf was hand-knitted by Madam Flamel herself without using any magic. For this, the not-so-skilled Madam Flamel even had a few needle pokes on her hands.

Link was very moved by this, of course, this was after he deliberately ignored the latter half of Little Button's words about Madam Flamel stabbing her fingers.

After all, Link wasn't someone whose hands never touched spring water, he still knew what kind of needles were used to knit scarves.

And if asked which gift Link was looking forward to most among all of them, that would definitely be Snape's gift.

After all, with Snape being a Potions Master, the things he sent would definitely be very practical.

For example, last year he gave Link a bottle of Felix Felicis, which directly helped Link turn the tide in the final battle in the Forbidden Forest.

If possible, Link even hoped Snape could be more generous and just send him ten or eight of his research journals, that way he could happily grind some Potions experience.

However, when Link actually opened the gray gift box full of Snape's strong flavor, he was disappointed.

Because inside was, once again, a bottle of Felix Felicis.

"Sigh! So perfunctory!" Link sighed and complained.

At the same time, he hung the completely full, high-quality Felix Felicis bottle around his neck.

Link's habit of constantly hanging things around his neck also made Yoyo unhappy. It chirped "gah gah chi" while stretching out its two little claws to paw at them, trying to push away the scarf and Felix Felicis, which had taken up its territory.

"There, there, Yoyo, don't make a fuss."

Link, imitating the way Newt taught him before, gently rubbed the Fwooper Yoyo's soft flesh, and only after a while did it calm down.

Then Link, still feeling a bit unwilling, rummaged around in that gray paper box again. Seeing that there really wasn't anything else, he finally gave up.

At this moment, Link truly hoped Snape could learn more from him, give him some more practical stuff.

Just like how this year Link gave Snape a gift that consisted of "Speed Dating Strategy" written by the famous reporter Rita Skeeter, and "How to Make Your Smile More Charming" written by Gilderoy Lockhart.

Although the guys who wrote these two books were both a bit… you know… and the content of the books wasn't very reliable either, Link felt that even books of this level would still be quite helpful for someone like Snape, who had zero foundation.

Especially the second one, Snape really should learn how to smile.

Thinking this, the expression Snape would make upon receiving this gift automatically popped into Link's head.

This made Link burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, Link finally calmed down, put on his scarf, and happily walked out of the room.

Compared to usual, today's Flamel Castle was especially lively.

Because besides Madam Flamel and Link, Krell and the other house-elves in the castle were also invited to the main hall to celebrate this once-a-year holiday together.

Krell and the house-elves were all especially happy about this, after all, last Christmas not only did Link not come home, Madam Flamel also went back to her hometown in Germany, and the castle was extremely quiet.

Of course, part of why they were so excited was also because of the extra gift bonuses.

Among them, Krell received a big bottle of rare Fire-Salamander Citrus Rum, while the house-elves got a big basket full of candies.

And after the partying, Madam Flamel and Link finally got a moment of peace.

They sat around the fireplace quietly warming themselves by the fire, occasionally chatting a bit, but most of the time just spacing out or resting with eyes closed.

At first glance, this kind of leisure time seemed very boring, but both Link and Madam Flamel felt it was extremely comfortable and heartwarming.

The two of them usually lived under quite high pressure, being able to space out like this all day in a comfortable environment was actually a very luxurious and relieving experience.

For Madam Flamel, it was even more so. Ever since Link started going to school, they didn't spend much time together anymore. Although this slightly lightened Madam Flamel's burden, her heart felt quite empty.

If possible, Madam Flamel even hoped this kind of time could go on forever.

However, this was bound to be a luxury.

Because just a few days after Christmas ended, one morning, Link was already wearing his Hogwarts uniform, standing in front of the fireplace.
