The Dark Lord at Hogwarts is not too cold

The weather is getting colder. The outside of Hogwarts is almost completely white. The snowflakes are big and small. There was a heavy snow a few days before Christmas, and the snow was several feet thick.

And Slytherin deducted another [-] points during this time period. It is said that Malfoy and his two stupid followers chased Professor Quirrell around with snowballs, perhaps because they felt that this year's Academy Cup was completely hopeless Alright, so let's start messing around.

However, the cold wind outside could not penetrate the castle of Hogwarts, and the little wizards enjoyed the warmth while chatting around the fire in the common room

Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had ordered butterbeer at the Weasley Twins early on. Of course, the only entertainment was snowball fights and wizard chess.

"Tell me...is there any trick in Wizard Chess?" Cyrus, ignoring the soldier's struggle, pinched its head and observed it carefully.

"Replace the wizard chess with other things, or make them bigger, and it can be made into a stage play"

"The knight moves...two squares, eat the soldiers!" Senior Cedric was fighting seriously, "I don't know, maybe we can ask the amazing Professor Flitwick."

"Go this way, go this way! Oops~ Soldiers, go this way!" Roger Malone commanded from the side, and Justin, who was sitting opposite the senior, was not happy.

"What are you talking about? Huh? Come on, come on, come on." "Okay, play, I won't talk anymore"

After studying interesting wizard chess for a while, Cyrus went out to find Hermione to play.

The tower of Ravenclaw will be very cold in winter, and the snowflakes can be blown into popsicles by the cold wind when going upstairs, but the lounge is different.

Professor Flitwick just finished counting the little wizards who were going to stay in school, and then went out, and greeted Cyrus kindly,

The Hogwarts Christmas holiday starts on December 12th and ends on January 20rd, which is the longest holiday except for the summer holiday, but the most bitter thing now is the owls, even in heavy snow, they are still Work is required, but the wizards will be asked for extra tips, maybe food, or a few copper Knuts.

However, there were not many people in the lounge, most of them were packing their luggage, and some were waiting for their last meal before leaving school in the auditorium.

The windows of the Ravenclaw lounge were closed and the curtains were drawn. Cyrus skillfully ran to the sofa by the fireplace and lay down on Hermione's lap, listening to the firewood burning in the flames Nice white noise, while listening to the howling of the cold wind blowing through the castle outside,

So Cyrus closed his eyes.

Hermione also felt the long-lost relief. Professor Quirrell's experience in defense against the dark arts, Professor McGonagall's paper on the practical use of Transfiguration, and Professor Binns' paper on the status quo of the magic world can all come to an end.

She kicked off her little rabbit plush slippers neatly, and put her feet under her body, so that Cyrus' head could slide into her arms with the tilt of her thighs

Then he covered him with his fur shawl.

Her intuition gave her the feeling of being comfortable, safe, and not alone....

Unknowingly, the two of them have spent seven or eight springs and autumns, and she seemed to be able to see the timid and submissive girl with front teeth standing at the door and waving to her.

Hermione didn't know if it was a favorite, but she also yearned for the one in the movie "Roman Holiday"

Romance is something that every girl fantasizes about, even Hermione Granger, the president of the association, No.1 in the Eagle Claw Court,

The fingertips inadvertently slid across the hanging ring that had been locked on his right hand, feeling the indentations engraved with runes on it, and then idly played with the bangs and braids on both sides of Cyrus' hair,

Cyrus slept a little sweetly, Hermione pinched his nose lightly, gritted her teeth and said:

"You~ when will you understand?"

As a result, the boy shook his head, shook off the discomfort at the tip of his nose, and buried his head in

"Forget it... I can only wait slowly... hey~"

.........

Severus Snape did not go to the auditorium to wait for the banquet to start like other professors did. He returned to his Potions office after counting the remaining students,

Snape's underground office is in the shape of a circular arc, like a bunker. There is a circle of shelves close to the wall, on which are placed all kinds of potion bottles and potion materials.

There is a round desk in the middle, with some crucibles and other instruments on it, and a kerosene lamp,

He sat in front of the desk, silently staring in a daze, his eyes were a little distracted. After a while, he opened a locked cabinet and took out a photo from it.

It's a woman looking happy smiling,

Unlike the unique moving photo of the wizarding world, it is a photo from the Muggle world.

"Sorry....I...I'm so sorry...."

He stroked the photo with his hands, his eyes were tender like no one else had ever seen before,

Then he put the photo back into the small cabinet again, locked it, closed his eyes and meditated, and when he opened it again, it returned to the coldness of the past.

He got up from his seat and walked to the window behind him, looking at the frozen black lake,

"Merry Christmas"

.........

Headmaster Dumbledore put his hands behind his back and looked through the window at the little wizard who was having a snowball fight by the light at the main entrance of the castle. Various small silverware were placed on the table

On the opposite side of the table is a huge arch, and there are two small arches on both sides. The surrounding walls are full of portraits, and the portraits inside are chatting or taking a nap.

After a while, Professor McGonagall came in to inform the headmaster of the arrangement

He turned around and stretched, took another pile of cockroaches from the table and threw it into his mouth, nodding to indicate that he understood.

Two owls flapped their wings and patted the window. Dumbledore let them in curiously, broke off a small piece of pumpkin pie and put it on the table, and then untied the tied gift

One of the two gift boxes was filled with woolen socks; the other contained three hard candy bars and a small card in addition to several pairs of woolen socks, but the socks were dark blue and red,

A stick figure of Albus Dumbledore was drawn on the card, with smooth and characteristic lines, and it also read:

Dear Headmaster Dumbledore, in thanks for the Rune Notes, this is a Christmas present from Hermione and me

In addition to a few pairs of wool socks we selected, there are also a few fruit candies that I like to eat

ps: I don’t have much fruit candy anymore, so I can only give three

Headmaster Dumbledore touched his white beard, looked at the gifts on the table and smiled happily, picked up two candies, ate one for himself, and gave one to Professor McGonagall

"Hmm~ fruit candy... tastes like the ones I ate in the muggle world when I was young"

Then he took out his wand and pointed it lightly at himself.

The light blue pajamas turned into purple wizard robes, and the plush nightcap turned into a wizard hat, and then went out with Professor McGonagall.

.........

Quirinus Quirrell sat in his seat cleaning up his notes, then sat down and looked at his student - Cyrus's notes "Defense Against the Dark Arts"

The low, hoarse voices die down in mid-December, like the dormancy of animals,

He looked at the handwriting he wrote on the first page of the notes, a little dazed, sometimes frowning and sometimes laughing, and there was a small ornament on the table that was not there before—a glass ornament in the shape of a maple leaf

This is a gift from Cyrus to him. The best material is actually crystal, but he has no money, so he can only change it to glass with lumos (fluorescence flashing) inside.

Professor Quirrell clapped his hands, and the maple leaf lit up. The light source was sufficient, allowing him to read and write under the light.

He got up and walked to his display cabinet, from the first plant specimen to the last one

After thinking for a while, he shook his head, walked to his bookcase, and picked out suitable books. The bookshelf is not very big, but there are about a hundred books on it. There are various kinds, from explanations of spells to history of magic. ....

In the end, it took about half an hour to pick two books out of them: one was a collection of curses that was biased towards black magic, which recorded the magic he taught himself in order not to be bullied when he was a student; the other was about making plant specimens Book.

After picking them out, he put them in a small gift box, waved his right hand, the ribbons were tied automatically, and snapped his fingers, a small pile of parchment on the table turned into a sea dongqing

It grabbed the gift box firmly with its sharp claws, and then Professor Quirrell opened the window and let it fly out,

It was a trick of communication between him and Cyrus.

The banquet begins~

This is not to send off the little wizard leaving school, but to celebrate the arrival of Christmas!

No matter how the cold wind blows, it can't affect the wizards in the auditorium. Except for some young wizards who have already taken the train in the morning, the rest are planning to take the Hogwarts Express after the banquet is over.

The scoring hourglass of the four houses looks like Ravenclaw is far ahead, followed by Hufflepuff, and finally Slytherin and Gryffindor

It is said that the Slytherin group is now trying their best to bring down the stupid lion's score, a typical "I'm not happy, you don't want to be happy either"

After Dumbledore and McGonagall announced the start of the banquet, they walked towards the dungeon

The rest of the time is wizards' carnival.

"Everyone! Take out the butterbeer you prepared!" The Weasley twins stood on their chairs and shouted at them

"Hoho~" "Yahhoo!"

No one could be happier than the Weasley twins, this time they made a good thirty Galleons or so, and Ron was also very happy, because his brothers promised to give him a new wand

People from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor took out their own butterbeer from under their tables like a magic trick

Almost half of Gryffindor's butter beer is paid for by Harry Potter, and they suddenly feel that at this moment, Harry has really become the savior

And Harry was happily enjoying the lively banquet. He will face Dudley, a fat pig, when he returns home this time.

The people on the Slytherin table stared at them, and many half-blood wizards had some small thoughts in their hearts.

"Hmph! I want to report it!" Draco watched them party there, "There is no way there is butterbeer in school, it must be made by the Weasleys."

Cyrus and Hermione sat in the middle of the long table, surrounded by friends to celebrate, Cyrus was squeezed by the crowd behind him, his center of gravity was unstable, and he just fell to her side

Maeve and Penelope jostle Mandy, who bumps Hermione again

So Cyrus happened to be bumped into Hermione's arms, and the faces of the two blushed instantly. They froze for two seconds, then quickly straightened up, took a big gulp of butter beer

Fortunately, no one noticed them.

Wayne ran to the Ravenclaw table, Terry across from him stepped back, walked over to Gryffindor and threw a cheese at him, and Wayne opened his mouth to catch it

"Whoa whoa!!!"

They cheered, and Wayne stood up, fists above his head, and walked around the table like a winner.

Butter beer is not as simple as a glass of butter beer per person. The Weasley twins had keenly sensed business opportunities before, so they started stockpiling frantically

Butter beer is non-alcoholic, but surrounded by warmth and joy, they seem a little crazy. If the dementors come, they will probably die

"Music~Brother, let's have some music." It was Wood who was talking. After finishing the second cup, he was a little bit unsatisfied. Anthony and Justin hooked their shoulders and kicked their feet.

The old prefect Gabriel Truman ran to Gryffindor to compete with others on how many chicken legs he could eat in one breath. Harry and Neville clapped along with the rhythm

Cyrus took out his wand and transformed it into something like a gypsy fiddle, drank the last sip of butterbeer, got up

"Cyrus of Junlin Oakenshield, I am willing to serve you." He bent slightly towards Hermione

So I sat at the other end of the long table and started playing and singing

Does he like adventure?Of course he likes adventure, he likes the scenery he sees, the people he meets during his adventurous journey, and he also likes to walk with people who are also adventurous

"Away from hometown

world ahead

The road is yours

through the shadows

reach the night

Till the stars all shine bright

Haze

cloud shadow

will be scattered

will all be lost..."

Following his powerful, swirling voice, sometimes adding guttural and decorative glides, Anthony and the others ran between two long tables to add a little spice to the song

Harry has heard this type of song. When he was hiding in the attic, he would listen to the lines and songs on the TV in the living room to spend a long time when he was bored.

When he heard the lyrics, he felt the courage to no longer be confused and face the darkness. Every time he clapped his hands, there would be a surge of heat into his chest

He has never been better.

A few half-blood wizards in Slytherin were also infected by the atmosphere, and they couldn't help shaking their bodies and shaking their heads, but they were slapped by the people around them after a while

The little snakes left after a while, leaving them to have their last carnival at the end of the banquet.
