Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 79 The Arrival of Christmas
Since Lien's letter, the three brothers have been working hard, wandering around Knockturn Alley every day, inquiring about various news, and collecting them into a book.

It's also good for Lien to take a look when he comes to prove that the three brothers are not lazy.

Beaver and Pais also kept in touch with those wizards in Slytherin who were not valued by the family during this period, and wanted to set up their own small organization, which seemed like a big fight.

They even discussed with Lien about signing a long-term supply agreement with Lien's plantation, because they recruited a young wizard from the potion family, and his level seemed to be very good.

During this time, Mr. Potter became more and more fascinated with Quidditch, which led to him spending less and less time on his studies and his grades getting worse.

The weather is getting colder day by day, time is passing quietly, and Christmas has finally arrived in everyone's expectation.

"Mr. Potter, I have to seriously remind you that this is already the third professor telling me that there is something wrong with your coursework. Quidditch is just a sport, it can't bring you powerful magic, and Can't bring you a full stomach of knowledge, it's not all about magic, you know?"

Professor McGonagall looked at the Seeker who had been pulled into the Gryffindor Quidditch team by himself, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Professor McGonagall is very happy that Gryffindor has such an excellent Seeker.But if it was at the expense of a little wizard's grades, Professor McGonagall would rather not have made this decision.

"Mr. Potter, I am now formally warning you that if I hear any more professors say that you don't listen to lectures in class or that your homework after class is exactly the same as Mr. Weasley's, I will ask Wood to kick you out of the team. I warned you."

Professor McGonagall stared at Harry and said seriously.

Harry swallowed, and nodded awkwardly.Professor McGonagall's words made Harry a little entangled. He didn't want to give up Quidditch, but the obscure magic knowledge really gave Harry a headache.

"By the way, Mr. Potter, would you like to stay at school for Christmas or go home for reunion?" Although Professor McGonagall knew that what she said was nonsense, she still asked.

"Stay in school." Harry replied without thinking.

really.Professor McGonagall sighed inwardly, and then ticked the retention in the Harry Potter column on the parchment.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter, I hope you can improve your studies. Well, you can go."

Hearing this, Harry walked step by step, as if he was carrying a heavy stone.

His mind was running fast at this moment, how to improve his performance without failing in Quidditch training.

"Also, Mr. Potter, call Mr. Weasley over." Professor McGonagall sighed again.

Harry still has at least one advantage in Quidditch, and he can go to the national team to play at that time, but this Mr. Weasley is really a headache.

Harry turned around and nodded.

There seemed to be something wrong with the way Harry called Ron, but anyway, he let Percy know about it.

And the consequence is...

"Oh my God, my mother wrote me saying that if I get a P in my final exam, I'm going to die." Ron held his head in distress, lying on the Gryffindor table, "It's all about that stupid Percy, He's the most annoying person in the whole family."

"He's always snitching on Mum," said Ron furtively, next to Harry.

Harry listened, envious whenever Ron complained about his family.

"Have you bought a ticket for tomorrow?" Hermione asked Rin in a low voice while flipping through the book in her hand in the library.

"No, isn't apparation born just for traveling?" Lien responded casually.

Hermione was a little annoyed when she heard this.

What does this mean, is it uncomfortable to ride the train with me?Is apparating more fun than being with me?

The most intuitive expression is that Hermione fell silent and stopped speaking.

Lien didn't feel anything yet, and looked at the book in his hand alone.

This is a travel book, and it happens that it also mentions the ruins shown in the blueprint of the ruins that Lean obtained from Filch's office.

"...The whole body is protected by the Kroll Encryption Curse, which was invented 100 years ago, which means that this ruin should have been built within a hundred years. But what is puzzling is that I have never heard of it Someone has built such a huge ruins in the past hundred years, and the surrounding environment does not look like a hundred years old..."

"Let's go." Lean closed the book, tucked it under his arm, and prepared to check it out later.

Hermione didn't seem to hear, and looked at the book in her hand seriously.

"What's the matter?" Lean leaned over, but was slapped away by Hermione.

Rion felt very strange, but he still didn't turn around and leave. Instead, he sat down and continued to read the book just now.

He felt more and more strange about this ruin.

"Hmph!" Hermione snorted coldly.

"So what's the matter? At least give me a chance to explain, right?" Rin said to Hermione with a smile.

"Are you going out for Christmas again?"

Although she was very angry at first, Hermione figured out a lot of things in an instant after she calmed down.The reason why Lean didn't take the train must be because he wanted to Apparate directly after leaving the school.

"Yes, after all, I don't have a family, why don't I take advantage of this Christmas to go out and have a good look at the world."

Lean had already figured out Hermione's character, and as long as he mentioned his status as an orphan, Hermione would definitely soften her heart.

Sure enough, the kind Hermione relented.

"But... don't you feel a little... insecure by yourself?"

"I'm a wizard, Hermione, and there's nothing in my wand." Rin smiled.

Just kidding, who's going to call his attention?Maybe there isn't enough business in Diagon Alley.

Hermione nodded worriedly, didn't say any more, and began to silently pack up the stationery on the table.

"Then what about the Christmas presents?" Hermione asked suddenly after leaving the library.

"I'll send Pais to you, and you can have him bring it."

The little girl nodded, but said nothing.

Outside the castle, heavy snow fell, and the whole world was shrouded in white.

Countless little wizards were running in the corridor, laughter filled the castle, and everyone was cheering for the coming Christmas.

Although wizards who believe in Merlin are celebrating the festival of the birth of Jesus, it is strange.

Maybe because of the Christmas holiday?
Rin was waiting for Hermione on the stairs, and the little girl was packing things in the dormitory.
