The God of Ice and Fire at Hogwarts

Chapter 216: A Precious Gift



Greene did not mention Sirius in the letter. Of course, this was not because Greene didn't know that Sirius had broken into Hogwarts Castle. After all, this matter had already been widely reported in the Daily Prophet.

But Greene didn't think Sirius had the ability to threaten Lynn. You know, Lynn had already killed many evil dark wizards in Lefebvre Alley, and his combat abilities were well-known.

In Greene's eyes, Sirius was just a small-time character who wasn't even a pure dark wizard. He couldn't cause any trouble, let alone pose a threat to Lynn.

In fact, Greene's assumption was correct. Both Lynn and Irina were capable of defeating Sirius, whose magical abilities had declined.

"Teacher, I am really safe now. Are those Muggle weapons unnecessary?"

Lynn's mouth kept twitching as he began to write a reply to Greene.

On the other side, in Irina's room, she was also opening her own Christmas present.

Like Lynn, the gifts Irina received were not much different from those of previous years. The only gifts that could bring surprises to Irina were the ones from Lynn and Newt Scamander.

Among them, the gift Lynn gave her was a strengthened anti-magic scepter. Irina could see flashes of silver light emanating from it.

This was the first sample Lynn made after improving the Scepter of Anti-Magic. His approach was to add the power of the Sands of Time to Greene's original Anti-Magic Scepter. He fused an entire grain of the Sands of Time into the scepter, allowing it to possess a certain amount of time-based power in addition to its original magic-blocking capabilities.

The time power granted to this anti-magic scepter has two main effects. The first is an extension effect, which can prolong the duration of the anti-magic scepter once activated.

The second effect is time reversal, similar to the function of a Time-Turner. After the Anti-Magic Scepter is activated and its magic-blocking power is fully released, it will automatically initiate a time reversal, allowing the scepter to return to the time before it was activated, enabling it to be used multiple times.

Of course, this incredible time-rewinding ability can only be used three times. In other words, after being activated three times, the Anti-Magic Scepter will be completely destroyed, just like an ordinary Anti-Magic Scepter.

Even though this treasure has a limit on its usage, Irina still couldn't put it down.

You see, Irina's combat style was no longer limited to using a wand. Whether it was the Little Winged Demon, her poisonous tentacles, or the Chinese Biting Cabbage, they were all part of her fighting power.

Therefore, even if Irina sealed her magic power after activating the Anti-Magic Scepter, her Chinese Biting Cabbage and the Little Winged Demon, which didn't require magic, could still help her defeat enemies whose magical abilities had been sealed!

After happily putting away the improved Anti-Magic Scepter, Irina opened the Christmas gift from Newt.

There was a tent placed in a two-meter-long gift box. The tent looked ordinary, but Irina knew that since Newt had given it to her as a Christmas gift, it was far from ordinary.

Sure enough, under the tent, Irina found a letter from Newt.

"Merry Christmas, Irina. This is the magic tent I gave you. When you set it up, you will find that inside is a big villa. Yes, it's exactly the same villa you visited when you came to my house during the holidays! How about it, is it a surprise?!"

After reading the letter, Irina couldn't help but smile.

This magic tent truly surprised her. Although Lynn had already built her a huge villa inside a suitcase, she couldn't exactly take the suitcase out in front of others, could she?

With such a magic tent, Irina could have a place to rest in any wilderness, even when there were outsiders around.

Irina rubbed her hands together and started setting up the tent.

With the help of the levitation charm, the magic tent was set up in less than a minute.

Irina excitedly opened the tent's curtain and saw a huge living room inside, exactly the same as Newt's house. At the end of the living room, there was a staircase leading to the second floor. The scene inside the tent was completely out of proportion to the size of the tent!

This magic tent was somewhat similar to the one Harry and the Weasleys used when they attended the Quidditch World Cup in the original book, but this magic tent was much more luxurious than the one used by the Weasleys.

After opening their Christmas presents, Lynn and Irina left their rooms and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning, Lynn and Irina. By the way, thank you for your gifts. I love them!"

When Lynn and Irina arrived in the living room, Irving was already enjoying breakfast.

After seeing the two of them arrive almost simultaneously, Irving smiled at them happily and said, "Thank you so much for the gifts."

The Christmas gift Lynn gave to Irving was also an Anti-Magic Scepter that came with an instruction manual. But unlike Irina's, this was an original one, not modified.

Even so, this Anti-Magic Scepter was a rare and valuable treasure in the entire magical world.

As for the gift Irina gave Irving, it was a bottle of winged demon venom, a bottle of eight-eyed giant spider venom, and a bottle of mandrake juice.

Among them, the venom of the Little Winged Demon was obtained by Irina in exchange for a pound of sheep brains from the Little Winged Demon, and the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider was collected by Lynn and Irina when they were hunting in the Forbidden Forest. As for the mandrake juice, Irina took it when she harvested a leaf from a mandrake in the third greenhouse.

All of these three materials were precious magical ingredients, especially the venom of the Little Winged Demon, which had an extremely high price in the magical world.

Moreover, the venom of the genie and the eight-eyed giant spider could not only be used in potion-making but were also useful weapons in battle.

"You're welcome, Irving. Those two books on ancient magic are the best Christmas gifts Irina and I could ever receive. Compared to those two books, our gifts are nothing."

Lynn said so.
