-December 25th-
On this Christmas morning, we could see a cheerful little girl tiptoeing to a bedroom door, trying to be silent.
'Hihi, big brother won't be waiting for that' Cele thought, turning the door handle slowly.
As soon as she turned the knob fully, she opened the door and peered into the room through the small crack in the door.
Looking at the bed and seeing a person-shaped bulge under the covers, Cele broke into a huge smile and walked into the room.
"ETHAN!" Cele scread happily, running towards the bed with the intention of jumping on it.
But before she could jump, a pair of arms caught her from behind and lifted her off the ground.
"Tsk tsk, apparently you never learn, do you?" I asked, holding Cele who turned her face to look at with a pout.
"Awn, you're supposed to be sleeping," she said annoyed, and I laughed, placing her on the floor and lightly pinching her puffy cheeks.
"And let you wake up by jumping on ? Nah" I said, "Now why don't you wake up Mom and Dad so we can open our presents?"
"Ooh, true" Cele said, and she then started laughing with a mischievous look on her face.
She then skipped out of my room while humming, and I for so reason felt sorry for my father.
'I created a monster' I thought sweating, but with an inexplicable feeling of pride in my chest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Living Room-
"You got more presents than last ti," my mom comnted, looking at the pile of things I had next to .
"Well...I'm really good at making friends" I shrugged arrogantly.
"So why haven't I seen your ability to make friends at your muggle school?" my father asked, and I placed a hand on my chest painfully.
"That was a low blow," I said, and he shrugged with a smile on his face.
"I'm glad to see you got so many nice presents" Nick said, glancing at a blue scarf and eucalyptus leaf necklace Luna gave , "But well, I guess there's still room for one more present"
As soon as he said that, Penny used her wand to summon a box that was wrapped in green wrapping paper.
"Err, but you guys already got a present," I said, pointing to an enchanted formal wear set and a thermos of infinite hot chocolate.
"We know, it's just that you can consider this present as compensation for returning the stone to us," Penny said.
"But-"
"Yes, we've told you that the lessons you're getting are compensation, but we don't think that's enough," Nick said, and before I could argue he continued, "And you're not going to refuse our present, rigth?"
...
...
"Sigh, with you saying that, it's hard for to refuse," I said with a wry smile on my face.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that," Penny said with a smile on her face. She then took the present and handed it to , and I took it with a curious look.
"We didn't know what a good present to give you, but with the little ti we've spent with you we've had a little idea of what we think you'd like," Penny said with a little nervousness and anticipation.
"Don't worry, I'll be happy with any present I get from you," I said with a slight smile, which seed to calm Penny down.
Without further ado, I tore open the wrapping paper and saw that the box the Flals had given was actually a small trunk enchanted with a shrinking spell.
"Hit your wand 3 tis on the lock" Penny told , and that's exactly what I did.
As soon as I gave the trunk's lock the third tap with my wand, I saw it increase in size, reaching the size of a school trunk, and automatically it opened.
"Is that what I think it is?" I asked, looking in surprise at the contents inside the trunk.
The trunk was completely filled with books and diaries, and I recognized the titles of so books as being very old and limited books.
"So of these books were written with our help, and so we got as gifts from the authors themselves" Nick said, picking up a book entitled 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard', which surprised a lot, as I knew the importance of one of the short stories in this book.
"And so of these other books are of our own making, and there's even so journals that we've written in our lives, with our stories and so studies and spells," Penny said, which made look at them wide-eyed.
"What?"
My parents also looked at the Flals a little surprised.
"I didn't think you guys would even give him your diaries," my dad said, and I turned to look at him.
"Did you know?" I asked.
"They asked our opinion on what to get you," my mom said, with my dad shrugging his shoulders with a faint smile.
I then turned back to the diaries and then looked at the Flals.
"Sorry but I can't accept these diaries, they're yours" I said.
"Hahaha, don't worry about the diaries, so of them were just gathering dust in our library, and so of those diaries are just copies" Nick said, which made feel a little more relaxed.
"But why do you want to give them to ? These books alone are worth far more than any compensation, and along with these diaries..." I said, and I wasn't saying this out of humility, but because I knew how much these books and diaries were worth.
"Well Ethan, you might think these sheets of paper are a big compensation, but for us that's still not enough to thank you for what you've done," Penny said, which made duck my head in thought.
"And besides…" Nick started, catching my attention, "We feel it's worth handing them over to you, as we have faith that you'll do great things in the future," he said, looking at with a smile and eyes shining, and I understood what he ant.
Lowering my head, I started looking at the trunk lost in thought. I then sighed and lifted my head to look at the Flals.
"Heh, with so many good points, I guess I can only accept this present and say thank you," I said, a slight smile on my face.
"Awn, you don't have to thank us," Penny said, coming over to and hugging tightly.
"Air…I need air…" I said dramatically.
"We're wizards, we don't need that much air," Penny said, squeezing even tighter to my parents and Nick's amusent.
'But that doesn't make any sense!' I thought, wondering if it would be wise to use the apparition to escape this death grip.

-Guest room-
Back in my room at the Flals' house, I sat on the bed looking at the trunk at my feet, lost in thought.
What I was thinking was that with these books and journals, I would have a better chance of completing my plans and goals for this year.
Reading a few pages of the books and journals with information about spells, I found so that could help against the basilisk in the chamber of secrets.
If I couldn't beat the basilisk with these spells, at least my chances would be bigger.
Sound spells, a spell that could cause small but strong earthquakes, and so offensive spells that I was sure would kill many magical creatures, but I don't know if they would work on the basilisk's tough skin.
'Too many things to think about, and I haven't even finished creating my Unsupported Flight spell' I thought with a sigh, throwing myself back on the bed and staring at the ceiling.
I then looked to the side and saw Marcel's diary on my pillow.
Calmly I picked up the diary and looked at it.
'Well, at least I'm almost done reading this diary' I thought, opening the diary to the last page I had read, 'And if I start now, maybe I'll finish reading it today' I said to myself .
End.

(End AN: On Sunday I didn't post any chapters for a small reason... Sunday was my birthday!!
Happy Birthday to !!
My friends also decided that they would celebrate my birthday by bothering for the rest of the day, so we stayed talking, playing and eating until the next day.
I had woken up very early on Sunday, and when I went to sleep I realized that I had been awake for over 24 hours!
It was a fun birthday...
Also, today is my sister's birthday, and I plan to throw a surprise party for her with the help of my other sister and my mother... I hope she likes it)
