Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

"Wow." Hermione couldn't help but exclaimed as she just walked out of the auditorium. She went back to the castle to prepare in the afternoon and didn't even see the silver-clad world outside the castle with new decorations added.

From the open front door, she could clearly see that the lawn at the entrance of the castle had now turned into a cave. The cave was sparkling with fairy lights---this meant that there were hundreds of real fairies. in.

Hermione couldn't wait to pick up the pace, and Soul, with a gentle smile on his lips, quickly moved forward and held Hermione's hand. No girl could refuse such a fairy tale scene.

Closer to the front door, the view becomes more open without obstruction.

Magic roses and dark green shrubs were used to decorate the area that was originally a lawn into a garden. The pink on the translucent wings of the flower fairy shone, or they were on the leaves of the roses. Lie down and rest, or fly on the delicate roses.

Among the flowers, there are reindeer representing Christmas and the iconic stone statue of Santa Claus.

Winding, ornately decorated paths loom among the flowers.

"Washing~" The two of them could hear the clear sound of water droplets splashing on the marble, and they followed the sound and found a fountain in the center of the garden.

Snowflakes were falling on Hermione's hair, and Soul stretched out his hand to twist it for her. Even though the dress was very thin, the two of them didn't feel the cold at all.

What's even more strange is that even in such sub-zero weather, the pool is still not frozen. It is obvious that several magic spells to maintain the temperature are released here.

Several benches decorated with copper roses can also be seen near the central fountain, which seem to be prepared for the little wizards who leave the auditorium to prepare for dates in the garden.

"Ten points from Ravenclaw!! Fawcett!" In such a beautiful environment, an angry voice suddenly broke the atmosphere here, "Ten points from Hufflepuff too!! Stebbins!"

Just as Soul and Hermione were about to pass by the fountain, two dark figures ran out in panic from the rose bushes on the side, holding hands, one behind the other.

Stebbins and his dance partner came face to face with the two men. They didn't even say hello to Soul, and ran past the two men in a hurry.

That voice was all too familiar to Soul. It was Professor Snape.

Speaking of which, this pair of little mandarin ducks were also unlucky. Who would have thought that just trying to secretly make out in the grass would be blasted out by an angry Snape with magic?

Immediately after the poor couple who ran away, two figures strode out from the grass. Isn't the leader the dear Professor Snape?

"Good evening, Professor Snape." Soul held Hermione's hand and paused, "Ah, and Principal Karkaroff, good evening."

"What are you doing here?" Snape's hand holding the wand dropped, his eyes paused on the hands held by Soul and Hermione, and then he raised his gaze and looked into Soul's eyes, with an unkind look on his face.

"It's too stuffy in here. We're going to go out for a walk and relax." Soul was not afraid of Snape's stinky face. After all, he was already used to it. He answered politely calmly and with a smile.

"Then let's continue walking." Professor Snape nodded slightly and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said firmly,

"Mr. Bones, I hope you will find time to come to me after tonight. I want to hear your explanation."

The smile on Soul's face froze. He knew exactly what Snape wanted to explain, so he could only nod helplessly, "Okay, Professor."

"Hmph..." Snape snorted coldly and left in a hurry. The wand in his hand was slightly raised. He hoped that there wouldn't be a new couple in the grass who would be unlucky, right?

Karkaroff nodded his chin to Sur, acting as a response to Sur's greeting just now, and followed Snape's footsteps and left.

After the two adults left, Soul and Hermione continued walking along the path.

"What does Professor Snape want you to go to him to explain?" Hermione couldn't help but ask.

Soul felt a chill in the air, stretched out his hand and broke off a branch, used magic to turn it into a vest, and draped it around Hermione, then answered with a wry smile,

"It turns out I brought it on myself."

"What did you do?" Hermione blinked, touched her waistcoat, pursed her lips and smiled, feeling very satisfied with Soul's caring behavior.

"I gave Professor Snape a bottle of shampoo...as a Christmas gift." Soul touched his nose, "I think he needs to wash his hair and tidy himself up during the annual Christmas."

"What if someone invites Professor Snape to dance? You should also be able to smell the smell on Snape's body. I doubt he washes his hair once a year. I mean this out of kindness."

"But it's obvious that Professor Snape didn't realize my good intentions."

"Pfft." Hermione covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing, then gave a thumbs up, "You are so brave."

Then, Hermione showed a puzzled expression, "Have Professor Snape and Principal Karkaroff known each other before? Why are the two of them here?"

"Maybe we met when Karkaroff was a Death Eater." Soul shrugged without hiding it from Hermione.

"You mean..." Hermione swallowed, turned her head and looked around, as if she was worried that Snape would suddenly pop out of the grass with his wand.

"Professor Snape, is he a Death Eater?"

"It's hard to tell." Soul shook his head. With his ability to know the plot in advance, he knew very well that Snape was essentially a spy. However, this secret obviously couldn't be reconciled with Hercules at this time. Min explained clearly.

The two of them were chatting and walking along the path surrounding the fountain. Unknowingly, they came close to a very large reindeer statue. Beyond the stone deer, they could see two vaguely huge figures sitting there. Talking on a stone bench.

Su paused.

"What's wrong?" Hermione felt her hand being pulled backwards and turned around blankly.

"Shh." Soul pointed to the reindeer statue and motioned for Hermione to look over.

"Are they Hagrid and Madame Maxime?" Hermione squinted her eyes and saw clearly the two 'big men' on the stone bench in the hazy light, "What are they doing here?"

"No." Sur shook his head and pointed more accurately at the substantial back of the reindeer statue.

"Beetle?" Hermione blinked and saw a red beetle with dense strange patterns lying motionless on the statue, "It's just a beetle."

"This is not an ordinary beetle." A weird smile appeared on the corner of Sur's mouth. Ha, it really took no effort. When he just saw this beetle, he remembered something that would happen in the future.

So, if nothing else happens, this beetle should be---
