Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

As Christmas approaches, one morning in mid-December, the hall of Hogwarts School looks particularly warm under the morning light. Through the tall windows, the morning light shines on the floor of the hall, outlining mottled golden light spots. The school’s courtyard and roof were covered in white snow and shone brightly, as if the entire campus was surrounded by the magic of snow.

The branches of the trees are covered with crystal clear snow crystals, which seem to be the magical powder scattered by the elves in the silent night, dotting the beauty of the campus. The students' mood became more and more cheerful as the holiday approached. They could not wait for the holiday and had no intention of studying at all.

In this bright morning light, Anakin finished his breakfast, yawned with satisfaction, and walked out of the auditorium. Because he goes to bed too late every night, Anakin is still listless. George and Fred suddenly burst into view, full of exaggeration.

George said jokingly: "Look who shows up? Our youngest Merlin Knight!"

"Knight Merlin and his friends, can we go to the courtyard together?" Fred invited with a smile.

"How about we go have a snowball fight in the snow together?" George added.

Anakin smiled wryly and replied, "Please, stop teasing me."

George and Fred responded to Anakin with laughter, clearly enjoying taking digs at him. However, this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere also infected Anakin, making his tiredness dissipate some.

So, a group of them went to the school yard together, preparing for the fun of a snowball fight. Many students had already gathered in the courtyard, holding snowballs in their hands and looking like they were fighting. Everyone was in high spirits, regardless of grade or college, and everything was drowned in the laughter of the snowball fight.

"Look over there, do you see that purple turban?" George said.

"We're going to hit him with snowballs."

"Let's see if he actually has what it takes to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

Anakin sighed. If Quirrell hadn't approached him yet, and Anakin hadn't decided to play Infernal Affairs with the Death Eaters, Anakin would have probably joined.

Come on, smashing Voldemort in the face would be super cool!

Anakin would probably add some rocks to it as well.

It's just that hitting Voldemort in the face with a physical attack will trigger some curse. In order to prevent the Weasley twins from changing from four to one, Anakin decided to intervene.

"Brother, actually, Professor Quirrell is quite powerful. Don't I go to him every week to make up for lessons? I found that his magic ability is actually very strong, and his knowledge covers many fields. It's just for It’s just hiding your clumsiness.”

After hearing Anakin's words, George and Fred's expressions gradually became serious. They exchanged glances, as if deep in thought. Finally, George asked in confusion: "You said Professor Quirrell has very strong magical ability? Then why does he keep pretending to do nothing?"

"And he was scared half to death by a giant monster on Halloween, and the giant monster was killed by you. Is he really capable?" Fred said doubtfully: "He didn't cast a confusion spell on you, right? "

Anakin felt his answer might raise more questions, but he had to be careful. He thought for a moment and then said: "Perhaps Professor Quirrell has his own reasons for choosing to keep a low profile. Some people prefer to work behind the scenes and don't like too much exposure. However, he is still willing to help students, like me, improve their level of magic."

George and Fred still looked hesitant, but seemed to accept the explanation. George sighed softly, and then said, "Maybe you're right. Anyway, it's time to enjoy the snowball fight!"

Voldemort, who was on the back of Quirrell's head, felt somehow that he had escaped death.

......

In Potions class, Anakin saw Malfoy sitting on the side of the classroom, taunting Harry. He pointed at Harry with a smug look on his face, openly mocking his family. Harry showed his usual calmness and did not bother to respond to Malfoy's provocation.

However, when Malfoy looked up and saw Anakin, his expression immediately changed. The corners of his mouth drooped slightly and his eyes flickered, as if he was frightened. This sudden change made Anakin feel confused, and he thought to himself: "I seemed to have caused a huge amount of psychological damage to poor Mr. Malfoy last time. Maybe I can beat him again to ensure that he Won’t make the same mistake again.”

Anakin then began grinding the lionfish crest vertebrae in earnest. He picked up the pestle and concentrated on grinding the herbs into powder, then poured them gently into the crucible.

Because of his poor Potions talent, Anakin had to pay more than 200% of his concentration in each class to prevent his cauldron from exploding.

Still, Anakin's finished product is hard to describe...

When they left the underground classroom after Potions class, they found Hagrid dragging a Christmas tree down the corridor ahead of them. Anakin waved his wand and cast a levitation spell on the Christmas tree, and it slowly floated up.

"Oh, Anakin, thank you!" Hagrid said. "Guess what, come with me to the restaurant and have a look. It's really wonderful."

So Anakin and the others followed Hagrid and his fir tree to the auditorium, where Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were busy decorating Christmas decorations.

"Ah, Hagrid, we've brought in the last tree - put it in the corner over there, okay? Mr. Wilson, since you're here too, please help decorate the Great Hall."

After all, Anakin was about to be awarded the Order of Merlin, and most teachers and students thought Anakin was a genius.

As a result, Anakin was captured as a young man without any explanation.

Together with several upperclassmen, he used their wands to spray out strings of golden bubbles, and then hung them on the branches of Hagrid's new tree.

The decoration of the auditorium is becoming more and more eye-catching and full of Christmas atmosphere. Lanterns were lit and decorations such as flying wizards, snowflakes, candies and gift wrappers were plastered all over the walls. A huge Christmas tree stood in the center of the auditorium, beautifully decorated. The students were immersed in a cheerful atmosphere and began to prepare for Christmas celebrations.

"Anakin, great job!" Haisa said.

"How many days until the holiday?" Hagrid asked.

"Only one day," Hermione said. "Oh, that reminds me - we still have half an hour until dinner, we should go to the library."

After Hagrid learned that they were still looking for Nicolas Flamel, his expression looked like he wanted to slap himself in the face. "Listen to me - I told you - quit. That big dog is guarding something that has nothing to do with you."
