Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 108 A photo album

After hearing Hagrid's words, Harry and Hermione shivered at the same time, thankful that they had not eaten the sandwich in front of them before.

At this moment, Harley felt that Hagrid definitely had something in common with Frank Lee from the Star Pirates, at least in terms of creation.

Harry decisively changed the topic to the recent Christmas holiday, successfully diverting Hagrid's attention.

After chatting for a long time, it was getting late.

Hagrid also wanted to keep Harry and Hermione for dinner, and promised that his newly invented smorgasbord would be so delicious that Tooth would drool when he smelled it.

However, Harry glanced at the large glass jar of pickled slugs that Hagrid placed on the windowsill, poked Hermione's waist wisely, and then found an excuse to sneak away.

Although Harry and Hermione were not invited to dinner, Hagrid still gave them something before leaving.

Thankfully, he gave her normal Christmas gifts, a photo album of Harley's parents and a book about magical beasts.

Fang was probably the one who was most reluctant to let Harry and Hermione go. It took the two of them to the edge of the castle and took away two sausages before leaving with satisfaction.

It was very happy that it didn't have to endure the torture of Hagrid's "delicious food" tonight.

"It's a good thing Hagrid didn't use those pickled carnivorous slugs as Christmas gifts." Hermione walked towards the auditorium, flipping through the book in her hand and complaining,

"This book "Thirty Cute Creatures You Don't Know" is much more normal... Wait, I take back what I said before.

In this book, Acromantula and Three-Headed Dog are called cute little guys? Aren't they XXXXX level dangerous creatures? "

"Hagrid wanted to raise a dragon last semester, and he just revealed that he had raised a three-headed dog. So this is in line with his style."

Harley complained mercilessly, hugging the photo album to her chest, and decided to take a serious look at it that night.

Although her memory is very good, she can even recall the appearance of her parents when she was a baby.

But after getting this photo album, she still felt a complex emotion mixed with expectation, joy, sadness and other emotions in her heart.

Demigods have divinity, but human nature is still fundamental.

……

In the evening, after eating in the auditorium, Harley went back to her tent, and zipped it tightly, building a spiritual wall.

The smart Hermione guessed what Harry was going to do, so she suppressed her curiosity about Harry's parents and did not follow them.

After sealing her tent, Harley solemnly placed the photo album on the pillow.

She did not open the album immediately, but gently touched the exquisite leather cover of the album.

After a long time, Harley gently opened the photo album and looked at each one carefully.

The photos are basically photos of my parents when they were young, from when they were seventh graders to the time after they got married.

After my mother became pregnant, there were fewer photos.

According to Hagrid, they had joined the camp to resist Voldemort at that time, so Harley's mother Lily hid in a safe place.

After giving birth to Harry, Lily wanted to continue participating in the battle, but news came out that Voldemort was chasing the Potters, so the couple could only continue to hide.

Harley looked at the people in the photo. Her father looked very similar to her in the past, while her mother looked very similar to her now, but she lacked her current extraordinary charm.

In a certain photo, James and Lily smiled at Harry and kept waving.

Beside them stood a thin young man with a pale face and a young man with a stooped body.

Hagrid thoughtfully added a note to the photo, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

"There should be another person in the photo." Harley looked at the empty seat between her father and Lupin.

"Is it to commemorate someone who has died?

No, the magic wave that was originally connected to the photo was missing. Someone must have used magic to erase someone from the photo.

That was during the Wizarding War, maybe they were traitors? Or a spy? Is that why he was erased afterwards? "

Harry silently flipped through the entire photo album and stopped at the last photo.

It seemed to be a selfie, with his parents sitting on the sofa, and Lily still holding her baby self in her arms.

Harley watched the baby's green eyes widen and curiously stretched out his hand to the camera outside the photo.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

At that time she was just a cute child, but now she is an immortal witch.

The mother in the photo is holding her child's little face affectionately, with a bright smile on her face.

Harley swallowed, feeling a little envious for a moment.

She has never experienced such a life for a day!

……

The next day, all the students who left school returned to school, and the castle became lively again.

The smile returned to Harley's face. The photo album has been carefully preserved by her through rituals and placed at the bottom of the box together with the invisibility cloak.

The most important thing for her now is to deal with the students returning to school.

God knows why anyone would try to catch up on a whole vacation's worth of homework on the last day of vacation!

On the night after Christmas, Hogwarts once again held a grand banquet to make up for the regrets of those classmates who were not in school.

At the banquet, Professor Dumbledore once again opened a lot of good wine.

Harley felt a little regretful, because the wine was placed on the teacher's desk, and she had no reason to drink it this time.

There are several bottles of Firewhiskey in there, and they smell really good!

At the dinner, Professor Lockhart seemed particularly happy, as if he had encountered some happy event, and almost drank an entire bottle of Firewhiskey by himself.

At the end of the dinner, he suddenly stood up, deliberately shook his golden robe, and announced loudly:

"Dear classmates and my colleagues, I want to announce good news to you here!

I, Lockhart, a recipient of the Third Class Order of Merlin and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, solemnly declare here!

I've permanently solved the attack and found the culprit! I promise you, there will never be another attack! "

However, the students below did not respond. They just looked at Professor Lockhart who was crazy and whispered.

With his strength, the heir of Slytherin could crush him to ashes!

"Is he drunk?" Harry heard Ron mutter not far away, and several boys immediately snickered.

A smile appeared on Professor Snape's lips. It seemed pretty good to have such a colleague who could bring him fun?

The other teachers also looked suspicious, casting suspicious eyes on Lockhart.

Professor McGonagall frowned, hoping that Lockhart would stop causing any trouble.

"I know you don't believe it, but it's true!" Professor Lockhart burped and said loudly,

"I guarantee on my behalf that this matter has been completely resolved by me!

Nowadays, schools need to boost morale and erase the memories of the last semester.

So I have prepared a little surprise for you all! "

As he spoke, Professor Lockhart raised the firewhiskey in his hand high.
