The Christmas holidays arrived, and Iblis had nowhere to go. Originally, she had planned to live in Diagon Alley for a while, but the Galleons she had left were truly scarce. Her application to leave the school was also decisively rejected by Professor Snape, leaving her with no choice but to stay at Hogwarts.
Waking up, she immediately noticed several gift boxes by her bed. Wenwen must have taken pity on the owl locked outside the window and accepted them on Iblis's behalf.
"Gifts..." Iblis picked up a gift box and unwrapped it, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile. "Come to think of it, that fellow Merlin really did treat me to a hearty meal on Christmas Day. What a stingy guy, fobbing me off with just one meal. I was the one who carved him out of a dragon's belly."
