When Rhea returned to her bedroom, Professor Snape's words still seemed to echo in her ears. For a man who so rarely expressed his emotions to suddenly deliver such a heart-fluttering remark head-on—even with Rhea's thick skin, it was almost too much to handle! Ahhhhh!
She thought about the gifts she had prepared. For Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George Weasley, she had made Dark Magic defense alchemical buttons; for Ginny, a Dark Magic defense alchemical hairpin; and for Ron Weasley, a brooch similar to the Patronus Charm. Of course, all of these were beginner-level items created by Bidodo that could only be used three times.
As for Mrs. Molly Weasley and Mr. Arthur Weasley, Rhea decided not to cut corners. In the end, she decided to give Mrs. Molly Weasley a shopping mall gift card, and Mr. Arthur Weasley a defensive button. The gift card was exactly what it sounded like, while the defensive button had no usage limit, though it did have a threshold of endurance—roughly equivalent to the force of Voldemort casting the Cruciatus Curse twice in succession. Rhea was worried that the plot might force that damn snake to bite Mr. Arthur Weasley, and this button would be just enough to fend off Nagini's attack!
