Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Although she knew the cruel reality, Hermione didn't feel depressed for long.

After lying on the table in silence for half an hour, Hermione perked up again:

I figured it out! Only when I become stronger can I change all this! I decided to study hard and aim to become the Minister of Magic!

Then do your best. Harry lazily responded, turning back another page of Fifty Rare Plants That Are About to Extinct.

She didn't believe that Hermione could accomplish this almost impossible goal, unless she could really find all kinds of materials for the Witch of Disaster.

At that time, Harley can use a war, a disaster against pure blood to complete the ceremony.

Only under such circumstances can Hermione have the opportunity to completely break the confinement of the pure-blood family and become the Minister of Magic.

As for other situations...Harry thinks it's better to choose to sleep, after all, dreams have everything.

...

The Christmas holidays were pleasant, and Mrs. Pince didn't mind the students talking loudly, as the library was almost empty.

In fact, only Harry and Hermione are permanent residents in the entire library.

And twin brothers Percy and Weasley also come occasionally.

Percy came here to study books on the Ministry of Magic system, preparing for his post-graduation goals. After all, he has always been an ambitious man.

Fred and George, on the other hand, looked at all kinds of Transfiguration and Potions, and muttered to each other from time to time.

Harry felt that he had the opportunity to communicate with them a little bit, after all, the potion books they read were not low.

As for the students of the other houses, the few who remained apparently preferred the warmth of the fires in the common room, and so never appeared in the library.

The night before Christmas, an experienced Harley leaves a small crack in the window.

Although it was cold, she had to leave a way for the owl.

It's really freezing to death. Hermione complained before going to bed,

Last year the owls threw Christmas presents right at my door, I didn't need a window.

If you feel cold, you can come here, I don't mind. Harry had already wrapped himself in the quilt.

Forget it, the quilt monster has bound me tightly to the bed, and I can't get up. Hermione turned over on the bed and wrapped herself up a little tighter.

The next morning, when Harry opened his eyes, he found a pile of gifts beside his bed.

Many of these gifts were sent by those magic masters, and most of them were their proud works, which also contained the signatures and annotations of the masters.

Harry was not surprised by this. A few days ago, when Harrie specifically asked Professor Dumbledore what gifts to send to these old people, Professor Dumbledore hinted at this result.

And Harry followed Professor Dumbledore's suggestion and sent the old people his own handwritten greeting cards and items about their hobbies.

For example, the former head of Slytherin, Horace Slughorn, the Christmas gift he most hopes to receive is not a new discovery or major progress in potion science, but a good pineapple preserve.

Professor Dumbledore gave Harry a small homemade alchemy device, a looking glass.

Although the looking glass is small, its whole body is made of precious magic metal. It has the ability to detect dark creatures and is very valuable.

Harry couldn't help sighing, Professor Dumbledore is really rich, so that Harry, who only gave him a handmade woolen sweater, was a little embarrassed.

Professor McGonagall gave Harry a Transfiguration book, and said in the greeting card that he has a Transfiguration club, and this is the club's textbook.

Professor Snape sent himself several precious potion formulas, and mentioned a very important thing in his greeting card:

He wants to take Harley to the Magic School Potions Tournament during the summer.

It was a very important match, but Hogwarts had been absent for decades.

On the one hand, it was because Voldemort was at his peak at that time, threatening the entire British wizarding world, so that everyone had no time to consider such an international event.

On the other hand, it is also because Hogwarts has not had a suitable potion talent for a long time.

At the beginning, Professor Slughorn thought that Snape and Lily would be the most promising people to win this competition for Hogwarts.

But in those years, Voldemort's power was at its peak, so the other schools refused to bring Hogwarts along.

And now, Voldemort has been gone for so many years, as long as there are suitable talents, other schools will not refuse Hogwarts to join this competition.

It's a pity that none of the previous two Hogwarts were able to fight, and no one could even match a third of Professor Snape's ability as a student, so I can only regret being absent.

And now, after discovering Harley's super talent for potions, Professor Snape has renewed hope.

Since I can't win the Magic School Potions Championship myself, it would be nice if the students I lead can win.

And these potion formulas were prepared by Professor Snape for this tournament.

He asked Halle to familiarize herself with the recipe over the holidays.

After school starts, Professor Snape will provide a lot of materials for Harry to practice at his own expense.

Looking at Professor Snape's parchment greeting card, Harry was also a little moved.

This kind of event that would definitely allow him to get in touch with potion masters, Harry naturally didn't want to miss it.

So she solemnly put away these volumes of parchment that recorded the formula of the potion, and planned to study it carefully during the rest of the holiday.

The classmates once again provided Harry with a lot of candy, which was similar to what Harry gave them in return.

Hermione gave Harry a set of teeth-cleaning tools from Muggles, because wizards only have the magic of straightening teeth, and no one seems to have developed the magic of cleaning teeth.

Fleur gave Halle a book introducing Beauxbaton, and invited Halle to play during the holidays in the greeting card.

Harry was a little moved, but when he thought that he was going to participate in the Magic School Potions Championship, he suddenly felt that he might not be able to go.

Hermione was also woken up by the sound of Harry unwrapping presents.

Her presents were not many, so they were quickly unwrapped.

Hermione happily put on the red scarf Harry gave her: Harry, did you weave this by yourself?

You actually know this technique! This lion is so realistic!

As she spoke, Hermione studied the gold trim and golden lion on the edge of the scarf.

Harry blushed slightly.

This time, the gifts she gave to many people were homemade woven clothes, especially those magic masters who had no heirs. Harley even sent a whole set, and inadvertently mentioned in the greeting card that they were all handmade by herself.

But it didn't actually take her much time, after all, it wasn't too much trouble to manipulate the spider silk and hair at the same time to manipulate the needle and thread, and to weave clothes at the same pace.

The two settled their breakfast with candy and had a hearty snowball fight with the Weasleys.

At noon, the auditorium was decorated as usual, and it looked magnificent.

A dozen frost-covered Christmas trees and friezes hang from the ceiling, topped with magically solidified snowflakes.

The long tables had all disappeared. After all, most of the students had left, and there were less than twenty-five students from the four colleges.

So Professor Dumbledore simply cast a spell, moved all the tables and chairs to the side, and replaced the long table with an oversized round table.
