A friendly day at Hogwarts

Glenn is no longer the road-crazy guy he used to be.

Under the guidance of the upgraded system map, Qiu and Penello were found in the common room at a glance.

He turned on automatic pathfinding and made his way back to Ravenclaw Tower without any hindrance.

...

Half an hour later, the three of them returned to the entrance door of the Gryffindor common room.

The fat lady in the portrait looked drunk and delirious.

Her friend Violet was the same, leaning against the pillar in the painting, belching one or two wine burps from time to time.

There were several empty chocolate boxes scattered at the feet of the two of them. Wine bottles of various formats were painted on the boxes, and they were all obviously filled with wine-filled chocolates.

Although George had already told Glenn the password, it was still somewhat impolite to go in by himself so boldly, so the three of them stopped in front of the door and waited.

Not long after, Fred and George, who had returned home with loads of food, appeared at the corner of the corridor.

"Where did you get so much food?" Penello looked at them in surprise.

"The house elves in the kitchen, they are so enthusiastic!" Fred protected the high-stacked dinner plates. "Please, Glenn, help me! I can't hold it anymore..."

Glenn quickly stepped forward and took a part of the shaky silver plate in their arms.

Percy, who had been watching for the wind, also returned at this time, his eyes swept over Penello, and his ears turned red again.

He didn't dare to say hello, he just coughed twice in embarrassment and said the password to the dizzy fat lady.

"Merlin's beard!"

The fat lady's eyes were blurry, she glanced at several people, pursed her lips, and burped again.

"The password is correct... hiccup... it's Merlin's bread... Go in, children, Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Fat Lady!"

One by one, everyone climbed into the passage behind the portrait.

In the lounge, Morgana was helping Charlie place the various snacks and butterbeer he had brought back on the table.

"Merlin's beard!" Charlie looked at the food in the arms of several people and exclaimed, "Why did you bring so much?"

George put the dinner plates he was holding into his arms and placed them on the table one by one.

"We didn't expect why those elves were so enthusiastic today. Is it because Fred and I said Merry Christmas?"

Fred also unloaded the burden with Percy's help, moved his sore arms and said, "We just said we missed the noon banquet and said Merry Christmas, and then our eyes blurred, and it became like this."

"If we hadn't really lost it, I doubt they would have piled on two more roast chickens." George added.

Everyone placed the meals they had brought back and sat down one after another.

For a small queue of less than ten people, such a dish is even more sumptuous than a lunch banquet.

Tender roast turkey, fragrant Cornish pies and haggis, and Glenn’s favorite, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding.

There are also various desserts such as sponge pudding, cream sponge cake, Christmas pudding and Victoria sponge cake.

Coupled with side snacks such as French fries and onion rings, the table is filled with a dazzling array of delicacies.

Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, enjoying their meals and chatting casually.

"I'm still curious, how did you find the kitchen?" Penello picked up a piece of pie and couldn't help but ask.

Fred and George looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"We used a little help left by a few pranksters." They said proudly, "There is a painting of fruit in the basement. As long as you scratch the pear lightly, it will laugh. Then it becomes a doorknob."

"Is it so fun?" Qiu was moved and said to Glenn, "When Marietta comes back, can I go and see it too?"

Glenn smiled and nodded in agreement.

Morgana looked at the two people talking and laughing, and her expression darkened slightly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of crisp sounds came as the twins pried open several bottles of butterbeer and handed them to everyone.

Charlie stood up like a grown-up, tapped the wine bottle with a spoon, and made a "ding~" sound.

Everyone looked at him with their butterbeers.

“To celebrate our fate and this wonderful Christmas, let’s raise a glass together!”

With a happy smile on his face, he raised the bottle of wine in his hand.

"cheers!"

Several people said in succession.

Glenn took a sip of wine from the bottle.

Speaking of which, this was his first taste. Old Tom at the Leaky Cauldron never sold alcoholic beverages to preschoolers under the age of 11 like him.

The sweetness of the butter masks the bitter taste of the hops, but it is not as greasy as the name suggests, and it is even better than Glenn imagined.

Compared to Budweiser, Muggle beers like Heineken are more than a step ahead.

"How is it? How does it taste?" Charlie put down the wine glass and looked at the few little wizards who were tasting butter beer for the first time.

Of course, Fred and George were not among them.

"It tastes good!" Qiu smiled, her peach blossom eyes narrowed into beautiful crescent moons, "It tastes much better than I imagined!"

Penello looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

This smile didn't matter, but it stunned Percy, who had been stealing glances at her, and his ears turned red again.

Glenn couldn't help but smile to himself as he looked at him looking like an innocent little boy who had a crush on him.

Seeing that his brother was so hopeless, Charlie couldn't help but pat him quietly and said in a low voice.

"Why are you still dawdling? Everyone has called you over!"

"I..." Percy was at war with himself, and even his earlobes turned red.

Morgana, who was lowering her head to eat, seemed to have heard Charlie's words. She subconsciously raised her head and noticed Percy's eyes looking straight at Penello with a look of surprise.

"If you like it, be brave enough to say it." She pushed him gently and whispered.

Percy seemed to have made a difficult decision, took two deep breaths, and spoke hesitantly.

"Um...Penello..." His voice was weak, like a gnat.

Penello was chatting with Qiu and didn't hear his voice at all.

Glenn couldn't help but remind her and pouted angrily in Percy's direction.

"Huh?" Penello turned her head in confusion and saw Percy, the top student with a red face and a thick neck, wringing his fingers and a "girly shy" look on his face.

"Are you sick?" Penello asked, with a hint of concern on his expression.

"No..." Percy was stunned, "I just... have something to tell you..."

"Just say what you have to say, why are you hesitating?"

Percy seemed to be struggling for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke.

"Penello...I...can you date me?"
