Professor Sprout's book was clearly written with great care, using a copy of "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms". She inserted a piece of paper between each page to make specimens of different plants. Pasted on paper.

This made Ryan very ashamed. He felt that he had failed or even taken advantage of Professor Sprout's kindness.

Spend more time on herbalism in the second half of the semester, he thought.

Ryan clipped the Mandrake leaves back into the book. He originally wanted to take advantage of the Christmas vacation to prepare the Animagus transformation ceremony, but now he changed his mind.

The mandrake leaves in the specimen book are already dry, and Ryan doesn't know if they still have any medicinal effect.In addition to having to hold the mandrake leaves for a month, it is obviously better to carry out the ceremony during the summer vacation.

Until then, Lane can prepare a fresh, ripe mandrake leaf, which can be obtained from either the Priory or Diagon Alley.

Ryan has already thought about what he will do during the Christmas vacation. He will try to master the Patronus Charm.

Ryan has been coveting the skill of using the patron saint to send messages for a long time. If he masters it, it will undoubtedly be much easier whether it is to send notifications or ask for help.

However, the Patronus Charm is an advanced magic spell, and mastering it requires not only talent and understanding, but also some inspiration and luck.

Ryan discovered that the more advanced the spell, the more spiritualistic it is.

Like ordinary spells, whether they are housekeeping spells or combat spells, as long as you have "standard pronunciation" and "correct wand swing", Ryan can master them without any bottlenecks.

But whether it's rune casting, or a spell like the Patronus Charm, emotion and imagination become very important.

The subtle control here relies heavily on inspiration.

Closing Professor Sprout's book, Ryan picked up the postcard on the bedside table.

Many of them were written by little wizards from Hufflepuff, and Ryan kept these postcards.

There was also a letter from Bach, which said that Christmas gifts would be sent to the school without the trouble of owl, and asked Ryan to get them under the Christmas tree when he got home.

Apparently, Bach was resentful about not going home for Christmas Eve.

Ryan laughed softly. He felt in his pocket and took out one of the double-sided mirrors left for him.

He took a look at the mirror. It was no longer the dim tone in the gift box, but reflected the ceiling in the living room.

Ryan cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Is there anyone? Is anyone there?"

"Ryan?" Valerie's voice came out immediately, "Good morning, I wish you a Merry Christmas."

The scene in the mirror rotated, and Valerie's face appeared in the center of the frame.

"Merry Christmas to you too, Mom." Ryan smiled, "It seems you already know how to use this thing."

"It's a very magical item. Dad was very happy after receiving it." Valerie said, "Ryan, when will you come back?"

"I will go back to have Christmas dinner with you tonight." Ryan said, "However, it may not be too early. The school dinner is at six o'clock. I don't plan to stay in school for too long. I will arrive home around 06:30. "

Then, Ryan chatted with his parents about school life, talked about the different personalities of each professor, introduced the various magic courses he had recently studied, and complained about the lack of entertainment methods for wizards. At noon , he just ended the call with his parents.

He felt that his uneasiness and melancholy were finally dispelled by a faint sense of happiness.

Ryan closed his eyes and lay lazily on the bed.

Whether it is past memories or current life, they are all worth cherishing.

At night, the atmosphere in Hogwarts finally became lively.The remaining remaining students gathered in the auditorium, noisily grabbing lottery packets and firecrackers, making a roaring noise like a cannon in the hall.

The colorful firecrackers were very similar to the lucky bags that Ryan had seen in later generations, and they contained all kinds of weird gadgets.

Justin drew two gold Galleons and four spiders, and he let out a scream as the wind pressure from the firecrackers blew the bugs onto him.

Ryan had no choice but to use the flying spell to help him catch the spider and put it into the empty bottle he carried with him.

If these little guys live long enough, Ryan can use them to conduct his own controlled experiments on transfiguration.

He also joined in the fun, randomly selected a colorful firecracker and opened it, and a large bag of chocolate frogs and several mice exploded from it.

Ryan felt that the people who made colorful firecrackers must have a bad taste to think of putting both lovable and disgusting things in each firecracker.

He tossed the chocolate frogs aside, not intending to eat them.Then, he caught all the running mice and stuffed them into the big jar.

Experimental materials cannot be wasted.

Justin watched with admiration as Ryan put the mice and spiders into bags, thanking him for getting rid of the annoying animals in the auditorium. Otherwise, even if he was facing the delicious roast turkey on the long table, Justin still felt that he Can't bring up my appetite.

Ryan ate a hasty chicken leg and a grilled sausage and stood up.

"Aren't you going to continue eating?" Justin asked.

"I think we should get going," Ryan replied.

Justin immediately showed a reluctant expression. He grabbed the roast chicken in his hand and whispered, "But I'm not full yet."

"If you have some left over, go home and eat with your parents." Ryan said. "Of course, if you really like Hogwarts food, you can also go to the kitchen and get a roast chicken and take it back to share with your parents."

"This is really a good idea." Justin's eyes lit up.

He finished the chicken wings in his hand in three or two bites and stood up.

Ryan glanced at the guest of honor seat again, and at this time, Dumbledore happened to move his gaze over.

The old principal grinned, lowered the colorful women's hat on his head, and raised his glass to Ryan.

Ryan saw Dumbledore mouthing words saying "Merry Christmas".

He smiled, turned around, walked to the door of the auditorium, and whispered: "Merry Christmas!"

"Huh?" Justin was stunned, and he nodded, "I also wish you a Merry Christmas, Ryan."

They went to the kitchen and asked the elf for two roast chickens, wrapped them in tin foil, and then left the school through the secret way of the toady Gregory.

Justin gasped: "I thought there was so much fun in breaking into the secret passage."

Ryan said: "At the end of the day, it's just walking. The fun will be when you get on the Knight Bus."

Justin's face immediately turned green, and he forced himself to say: "In the final analysis, no...it's just...a ride in a car."

"You see, the fun of the secret passage is actually that you discover things that others don't know." Ryan laughed, "As for the Knight Bus, the fun is that you discover things that others don't usually show."

He patted Justin's trembling shoulder: "I'm looking forward to your performance, Justin."

"Can I give up?" Justin cried sadly.

"Please." Ryan pointed behind Justin. In the distance was the wrought iron gate of Hogwarts, but in the dark night, the shadows of the woods and the railings of the iron gate looked particularly eerie.

Justin stared blankly as the night wind blew through the woods, making the dark shadows of the leaves look more like dormant beasts.

He stiffly put his eyes on Ryan's smiling face: "You...you knew this would happen?"

"What are you talking about, Justin." Ryan's tone remained unchanged, "Okay, if you haven't changed your mind, it's time for us to get in the car."

Ryan slowly raised his wand under Justin's fearful gaze.

The next moment, earth-shattering explosions were heard in the air, and a purple three-decker bus passed through an indistinguishable phantom, drifting and stopped in front of the two of them.

It seemed that due to the unstable center of gravity, it bumped left and right, and even the tires were lifted off the ground.

Ryan saw something fly out of the car window.

Then, a wizard's cursing voice came from not far away. He rubbed his waist and limped toward the direction of Hogsmeade.

Ryan subconsciously reached out his hand and grabbed Justin who was trying to escape towards Hogwarts.

"It's time for us to get in the car, Justin."
