Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 247 Gryffindor's Christmas Dinner
"Ginny, you know too! About Percy's girlfriend..." George coughed and asked hoarsely.

He looked very serious, but there was a strong unscrupulousness revealed in the beating of his eyebrows and eyes, revealing what this guy was thinking in his heart.

Ginny couldn't help giggling, but she shook her head without answering.

"We all know, Ginny...his girlfriend is a Ravenclaw prefect, _Penelope Clearwater!"

"You really know all of them?" Ginny immediately looked at Luna next to her, and she only told Luna.

"I didn't..." Luna quickly denied.

"It's not her, we have our own sources of information... Now we just need to send someone to steal the money and get it! Ginny just tell us! Where is this guy Percy dating..."

Fred 'begged'.

Apparently these two guys were still upset about what Percy had taught them earlier, and they had to 'fuck' Percy.

"this one……?"

The three Weasley brothers leaned forward, their faces glowing, and they stared at Ginny expectantly.

"Even if I tell you, it won't work! Percy and Penelope both took advantage of the time when the prefects were patrolling the corridors of Hogwarts to find a place to hide and have a date..."

"This is the last time I went to Luna and met the two of them..."

Ginny suddenly stopped talking, obviously knowing that she had slipped up.

"Ginny... are you still sneaking out?" Ron's heart tightened. He remembered the incident with Malfoy last time, and his face immediately darkened.

George and Fred are also very worried about this kind of thing.

"No, when the school just issued the ban,... I just... Anyway, I'm really not sneaking out now!"

Ginny swore hastily, blushing furtively at Harry and said.

Obviously he didn't want to ruin his image in front of idols.

After some 'education', Ginny pulled Luna impatiently to hide on the other side of the library.

The twin brothers and Ron were obviously a little downcast.

However, after a while, they discussed other ways to trick Percy.

……

Finally, Christmas came.

Dawn, snow outside the window.

It's getting colder.

The cold air that had lasted for almost half a month in the castle was finally dispelled.

That's right, that stupid constant temperature magic device... After protests from Hogwarts students and parents, the Ministry of Magic finally sent wizards to repair it.

These guys were talking bureaucratically some time ago - saying that repairing it would affect Hogwarts' defenses.

Shameless to tell the students... that no one was attacked during this time and that's why.

fart!
However, there is some truth to it.

McGuffin also realized at this time that he didn't have to worry so much about the basilisk a while ago. Even if it is a magical creature, it should have some characteristics of a snake... a cold-blooded animal.

It is impossible to shuttle through the pipeline in that cold temperature.

But if the 'heating' is not repaired, I am afraid there will be no need for the basilisk.

When the indoor temperature of Hogwarts drops again, no matter Muggles or pure-blooded wizards, they will be 'cleaned out' of Hogwarts by this cold air.

Slytherin's original idea was realized by these guys in this way.

Not much to say, in the dawn of Christmas, McGuffin and their dormitory.

It was the first lazy morning in days.

They can hide in the warm quilt, and they don't need to be shivered by the biting cold even if they are covered with five or six thick quilts.

They can finally sleep soundly...

"--brush!"

"Wake up!" Hermione suddenly appeared in front of Harry and McGuffin, and said loudly, pulling the curtains aside.

The glare of the sun instantly drove away the dark and sleepy atmosphere in the dormitory.

"Ah!" "Ah!"

"what!"

Almost everyone in the dormitory was woken up.

"Who is this?" Seamus complained, he stood up and saw Hermione standing in their dormitory, fully dressed.

"Ah!" He yelled like a little girl, and McGuffin snickered, because they both knew that this guy didn't like to wear pajamas when he slept.

"Hermione - what are you doing?" said Harry.

"You shouldn't be here." Ron murmured, with a dissatisfied face, he turned the pillow over his head and wanted to continue sleeping.

"Merry Christmas and get up! You better see how the common room looks down below...it's incredible!"

"I've been up for an hour, ... No, this is a gift for you."

Only then did McGuffin see a stack of neatly wrapped Christmas presents at Hermione's feet.

Under Hermione's repeated urging (and of course, Seamus Figani's loud complaints - he wanted Hermione to leave quickly), McGuffin and Harry had to wear their pajamas and come outside with presents.

At this moment, Headway flew into the room with a small package in his mouth.

It landed on Harry's arm, nibbling Harry's ear very affectionately on the shoulder.

This is far more precious than the gift it brings.

It was a gift from the Dursleys, and it was just a small toothpick with a note asking Harry if he could spend next summer at his friend's house.

That was apparently the only thing Harry agreed to with the Dursleys.

Hermione gave Harry a gorgeous quill and Ron a signed Chudley Cannons Quidditch jersey (don't know how she even got that...)
As for the McGuffin's gift, two miniature wizard robes used by Niffler (and two small pointed wizard hats, one gold and one silver)

Although it looks very fluffy and cute, McGuffin always feels that something is wrong. —Golden Horn, Silver Horn?

Afterwards, they exchanged gifts with each other.

McGuffin gave Hermione a brief analysis version of [Today's Transfiguration Collection] from last year...

This was exactly what Hermione needed, and she was almost ecstatic.

"What kind of gift are you?" This made Ron turn pale with fright, afraid that he would also receive such a gift.

All Hagrid gave them was a big bag of fudge, which... let's forget about it.

And, of course, a brand new hand-knitted sweater from Mrs. Weasley, and a hunk of raisin cake.

There is also a greeting card in which Mrs. Weasley thanked McGuffin and Harry.

(McGuffin gave Mrs Weasley a Christmas present of those signed Lockhart photos, along with the signed note, in a newly purchased Lockhart book - [A Hundred Little Tricks How to Make You Welcome?].
As a thank you to the Weasleys for taking care of Harry and McGuffin during the summer vacation. (This is a gift from the two of them)

Mrs Weasley was clearly pleased with the gift.

A cube of ice given to him by McGuffin's sister Emily.

(It is said to come from the glaciers in the Alps Mountains - the letter also famously asked him to use a magic spell to preserve it, and she will check if there is any change when she goes back.)
What's even stranger than this is that Harry and Ron partnered to give a Muggle version of the diving goggles...

I ￣へ￣|||
——How do the two of them see themselves?

McGuffin couldn't believe it in his heart, although his behavior was somewhat...

All right!Or skip it...

However, his gift is not much less.

McGuffin gave Harry and Ron a [Rocket Magic Version Flying Broomstick] each (one of which was used by George in the last game)
After the two of them received this gift, their expressions were indescribable and difficult to describe.

……

This Christmas dinner at Gryffindor College was extra fun.

It is completely different from the grand style of the auditorium in the last semester.

Not only are there no dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost, there aren't any ribbons of holly on the ceiling, snowflakes,...not even the usual Christmas vibes.

Instead, there was a strong exotic atmosphere.

This Christmas was planned by the twin brothers and Lee Jordan.

These guys have actually furnished the Gryffindor common room in the style of some kind of ancient Egyptian temple.

Under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, those senior wizards who were about to graduate first used the Untraceable Stretching Charm to double the size of the Gryffindor common room.

Then, with some kind of illusion spell, the whole room was transformed...the four walls turned into an endless desert, and the ceiling turned into a scorching sun, a piece of blue.

Then use the Transfiguration spell to modify the room.

By the time they went down this morning, it had completely turned into an ancient Egyptian temple.

A circular temple building standing in the desert.

In this fantasy, almost the entire building is built and paved with gold and precious stones.

The ground is paved with dark green gemstones, and the entire hall is supported by golden columns full of reliefs of various exotic gods.

Gold and dark green complement each other, shining brilliantly in the candlelight.

And the ceiling of the hall is inlaid with gemstones of various colors, dotted with stars.

The table tops of the original armchairs have been transformed into statues of eagle heads, snake heads, lion faces, scorpion bodies... various ancient Egyptian gods, placed in every corner of the room.

They were posed in various poses, holding magical candles as thick as arms.

When the light shines, everything is golden.

Especially in the center of the room there is a square pool of golden light, and the golden sand inside is flowing slowly...

On the swimming pool, there are two bronze lions lying on the golden sand out of thin air, each standing on one side of the square pool, and they are carrying a huge golden disc...

The disc is composed of three parts, on which are engraved with various complex magic pattern symbols, and it is constantly rotating, slightly shining.

Unbelievable!

I don't know how those senior students did it.

Even with Professor McGonagall's help, such a transformational project bordered on a miracle.

It can only be said that the extremely boring Hogwarts students, in this restricted and isolated situation, exploded with extraordinary imagination and magical power.

When it was time for the dinner party, Christmas puddings of various shapes, eggnog, and even roasted naan from the Middle East and roasted whole lamb began to appear on the giant golden disc on the pool...

A whole roasted lamb is automatically roasted on the spot with the red fire magic flame.

Scent is overflowing!

It just caught everyone's attention.

Under George, Fred, and Lee Jordan's coaxing, almost all of their senior wizards changed their wizard robes into some kind of short-sleeved white robes that ancient Egyptian wizards (priests) once wore... very exotic.

(As soon as these guys arrive at this time, Transfiguration is very good. If they can have this enthusiasm during the exam, they will not almost fail the Transfiguration class during the exam. These are Percy’s original words)

Even when Professor McGonagall came over, he was coaxed by them and had to change his long pointed wizard hat into a scarf, and his black cloak and wizard robes into a white robe covering his whole body.

It's just that the twins didn't see Professor McGonagall staring at them?

Can't you notice the bloody word 'danger' on the head at all!
Harry thought it was the best Christmas dinner he'd ever had, . . . everything was so interesting and new.

Although it was bad to think so, Malfoy was still lying in the hospital hospital, and there were no unsightly Slytherin students here... which made Harry even more happy.

It was a pity that Dumbledore and Hagrid couldn't attend because they were still busy at the Ministry of Magic... Otherwise, he really wanted Hagrid to see this wonderful dinner.

Ron next to him was about to swallow his tongue along with the roast lamb.

A few of them are constantly shuttling through this Christmas banquet, holding a plate in their hands, which is full of all kinds of delicious food...

Constantly switching positions, watching the performances of various other senior students. (Senior wizards are scattered in various rooms, performing magic spells, making the atmosphere here even more enthusiastic.)
—one of the students pointed his wand to his mouth, and spewed out a dragon, which he swallowed down his throat, to cheers.

All the programs were very exciting...McGuffin and the others didn't know whether they were focusing on their mouths or their eyes.

When McGuffin took Harry and they had just finished the third large mutton kebab, they heard Ron next to him look disgusted and hopped and shouted.

"What is this!"

Hermione noticed too.

Pointing at the dozens of small black dots shaking in the air, he said, "Harry, McGuffin, come and see this!"

"Interesting……"

They now appear to be approaching the walls of the original room.

Now here is the endless desert.

McGuffin looked intently, and there were dozens of spiders hanging in the mid-air of the desert, crawling in a panic. They seemed to keep colliding with a transparent wall, and disappeared one by one.

Ron tried his best to hide behind several people, seeming to resist the urge to escape.

Hermione pulled McGuffin closer there curiously. After a phantom, they vaguely saw the original wall and a window.

The window was not closed tightly, and there was a small gap, from which the spiders escaped along a long spider web, disappearing one by one.

"Have you ever seen a spider like this?" Hermione asked wonderingly.

Harry shook his head, puzzled.

And McGuffin immediately realized what was going on.

—The basilisk appeared again.
