Alright, alright! You brat! Using me and then discarding me, huh? You're even quicker at burning bridges than anyone else!
He quickly unhooked the grapple from the bludgeon and then threw it towards Karl.
"Holy crap!"
Karl was startled by the bludgeon that landed not far away, finding his shadow was severely injured.
"You despicable old man! You're playing dirty, you're ambushing me!"
He had just cursed when he saw Grindelwald trying to continue the throwing game.
Karl: (ten°A°)r ∩
Time to go, time to go!
Picking up the bludgeon from the ground and slinging it over his shoulder, Karl ran off.
Grindelwald watched him flee in satisfaction, then entered his cabin with the wool socks.
Soon, a mournful cry rang out, followed by Grindelwald's furious curses.
"Karl, you little bastard!"
Perhaps due to the morning run, Karl ate with exceptional relish today.
When opening presents back in the dormitory, he even burped occasionally.
Dumbledore gave Karl a family tent with an Undetectable Extension Charm applied, so it seemed he could find opportunities to travel with Cat Mom and Nina in the future.
Nina's gift was a thick notebook. Karl opened it and found it was actually Newt's insights on learning and using the Undetectable Extension Charm.
While delighted, Karl was also a bit puzzled. Had he shown too much desire?
He had only mentioned it a few times, so why did everyone give him gifts related to the Undetectable Extension Charm?
Minerva custom-made a magic cloak for Karl, which not only was dustproof and waterproof, and insulated, but most importantly—it could slow his descent.
The kitten was speechless; he had already said he wouldn't climb the Castle's exterior walls again, yet Cat Mom was still worried about it.
What surprised Karl the most was Snape; he hadn't expected him to actually return a gift.
However, it wasn't a magic potion, but an automatic stirring cauldron—was he implying something?
Although very useful, it—always felt like the gift carried a hint of mockery.
After unwrapping his gifts, Karl put on his magic cloak and happily went to find Professor McGonagall.
"Minerva, I really like your gift. I feel like I can wear this all year round."
Upon arriving at the Gryffindor Head of House office, Karl noticed Professor McGonagall had also changed into the black robes he had given her.
Wow! That's great! Cat Mom is indeed the most elegant and coolest!
"Hmm—that's not necessary, I can prepare more styles for you."
Professor McGonagall tidied Karl's collar and winked at him with a smile, "Your gift is also wonderful. Pomona said I look like I've returned to my youth."
"Professor Sprout was right!"
"Mm-hmm~ Let's go, Karl. We'll help decorate the Great Hall and let everyone see it."
"Alrighty!"
The Christmas feast began, and the entire Great Hall was a scene of lively joy.
Karl saw Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor long table, as well as Percy, who was eager to improve.
Fred and George should have stayed at school too, as the Weasleys were going to Romania to visit Charlie and weren't home.
However, because Karl provided a lot of magic materials, the two brothers' skill in making magic props improved rapidly.
So they decided to set up a stall in Diagon Alley to earn money this Christmas holiday, which unintentionally saved Tom from trouble.
After all, if Fred and George were still there, his face would have already been hit by several snowballs.
Time to eat! Time to eat!
Karl didn't touch the turkey and cheese this time because he had pre-ordered lobster and pork hock with the House-elves.
One could only say that compared to British cuisine, French and German cuisine were definitely delicacies.
As Karl was wolfing down his food, his gaze unintentionally fell upon the Professors' table.
"Hey?"
The tall Hagrid was very conspicuous; he was drinking cup after cup of alcohol, and his face was getting redder and redder.
Karl glanced at Professor McGonagall sitting next to him and suddenly remembered something that happened in the original story.
If he remembered correctly, Hagrid had kissed Cat Mom—
Karl: (Enter one)
You dog! You have chosen death!
"Bludgeon, Accio!"
At the head table, Dumbledore, wearing a lady's hat adorned with flowers, was listening to Professor Flitwick tell a joke.
Then he inadvertently noticed Karl approaching with a murderous aura, carrying a bludgeon on his shoulder.
Hmm? What's going on?
Just as Dumbledore was wondering, Professor Flitwick's voice sounded in his ear.
"Hagrid is going to get drunk again. Last time he actually kissed me, it was truly outrageous."
He was already a small person, and his head and face were even smaller. When Hagrid, who was 11.5 feet tall, leaned in for a kiss, he thought he was going to be eaten.
What a terrible memory!
Dumbledore was stunned to hear this. As he recalled the incident, he saw Professor McGonagall next to Hagrid.
Oh no! Hagrid is in danger!
Although Minerva might not care, Karl was different.
If he actually kissed Cat Mom in front of the kitten, it wouldn't be a matter of how well-done he'd be cooked, but rather he could be used as fertilizer directly.
Seeing the red-faced Hagrid leaning close to Professor McGonagall, Karl also raised the bludgeon above his head with both hands.
With that increasingly dangerous look in his eyes and the bulging veins in his arms, one hit from that bludgeon and Hagrid might just die!
Dumbledore urgently shouted, "Hagrid, stop! Karl, hold your bludgeon!"
The head table instantly fell silent, and all the Professors looked at Hagrid and Karl behind him.
Merlin's bikini! What is going on? A Christmas murder!
Professor McGonagall turned back blankly and saw the kitten full of murderous intent, "Karl? What are you doing?"
"I ate a bit too much, so I'm exercising. Minerva, you don't need to worry about me."
"There's no need to exercise at a feast, and such a dangerous weapon shouldn't be here. Put it down first."
Karl sneered, "Dangerous is good. One hit and you're out cold, you won't even feel the pain, right, Hagrid?"
Hagrid: (A°
Huh? Dumbledore, save me!
