Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Christmas is getting closer and closer, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The little wizards are once again covered in thick winter robes. Sometimes they have to walk through the corridors that are completely exposed to the outside to go to the classroom.

In the second week of December, Professor McGonagall came over as usual to collect the list of students staying at school for Christmas.

Due to the many attacks in schools, very few students are willing to stay in school for Christmas, not even half of those in previous years.

The Daily Prophet's attacks on the school have become more and more explicit, and the focus is on the school—that is, Dumbledore has yet to come up with a perfect solution and countermeasure.

To be honest, what the "Daily Prophet" wrote actually makes sense. The lack of any measures really made parents very angry. Zhang Xiao often saw owls dropping letters to Dumbledore - it can only be said that the wizarding world is indeed too small.

Ordinary wizards can write directly to the President of the International Confederation of Wizards.

After returning to normal campus life, everything was so calm, as if nothing had happened, but Zhang Xiao always felt that this was the calm before the storm.

In Potions class, they have already begun to learn about the 'swelling' potion, which is a potion that can cause swelling in the parts of the body that come into contact with the potion, but they don't quite understand where this potion is mainly used.

This class was extremely boring in general. Professor Snape was still very enthusiastic about his little hobby. He shuttled between the twenty cauldrons, patrolling back and forth in a cloud of smoke, watching them add 2 spoons of dried nettles and Add 3 parts of puffer fish eyes into the mortar.

Or stand behind the little wizards of Gryffindor and stare at them with cold eyes as they weigh the ground powder on a copper scale.

As long as there is any irregularity, he will immediately and rudely criticize the young wizards, while the Slytherin students will gloat and snicker on the sidelines.

The Gryffindor students glared at them, and Zhang Xiao found it quite interesting. The relationship between the two houses was now like that of Malfoy and Harry, not friends, but not enemies either.

It's more like a pair of pure opponents, competing against each other.

It's just that Professor McGonagall is not overly biased like Snape. She always tries her best to be fair in class.

Seamus, who was alone in the corner during class, did not cause any trouble, which made Snape slightly relieved.

The most boring course is still History of Magic, Professor Binns is a ghost. The most exciting thing in his class was when he walked across the blackboard into the classroom.

He was very old and his flesh was so shriveled that many people said he did not notice that he was dead. While he was still alive, he stood up one day to go to class and accidentally left his body in an armchair in front of the fire in the staff room.

In this way, he became a ghost. Zhang Xiao actually had no interest in the history of magic. It was more convenient to listen to Professor Binns lecture in a hypnotic and dry voice than to read the textbook by himself.

Zhang Xiao learned something new at Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club.

".The biggest difference between transfiguration and magic is the amount of power and clear mind."

Professor McGonagall, wearing a high bun and an emerald green wizard robe, sat on a soft sofa. The theme this time was 'Comfortable Sofa'.

A little Ravenclaw wizard raised his hand. She was sitting on a purple sponge armrest sofa. It looked a bit retro and old-fashioned to Zhang Xiao, but this is a very popular style recently.

: "Professor, isn't the stronger the strength, the stronger the transformation?"

"Of course. No." Professor McGonagall shook her head gently, and said in a serious tone similar to that in class:

"As we all know, black magic can increase the power of a wizard very quickly, and even allow the wizard to display extremely powerful lethality."

The little wizards nodded silently, which is why many wizards just want to explore what black magic is, but inevitably fall into the abyss in the end.

Because the increase in power brought by black magic is so great that it makes people want to stop, and in the end they can only fall into the abyss and cannot extricate themselves.

Therefore, Hogwarts has almost strictly prohibited black magic. Like Daphne, the black magic school taught at home has nothing to do with it, but it must not be used in Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall continued:

"But it is not without cost. Black magic can corrupt people. Even most dark wizards have lost the ability to use positive magic, including advanced transformation, from the moment they set foot on the road of no return.

You start to pay the price and can only sink in black magic. Maybe some people can break through this limitation and wake up from black magic, but they can achieve extremely high achievements without learning black magic.

That is the so-called genius. "

Most dark wizards cannot use advanced transfiguration? Zhang Xiao was a little surprised and hurriedly wrote down this information. He only remembered that the dark wizard seemed unable to use the Patronus Curse, but Snape could.

Barty Crouch Jr. can also use a powerful transformation spell to turn Malfoy into a stoat.

Is this the genius Professor McGonagall was talking about?

Well, they two seem to be really geniuses.

After a day of classes, Zhang Xiao lay on his soft bed and looked at Qingluan sleeping not far away. During this period, his father took the time to contact him twice.

He was really busy over there. He would beat this one today and that one tomorrow. Anyway, my mother was just trying to prevent people from escaping, and the one who went up to beat them was Zhang Chengdao.

He seemed very happy to hear his tone, and probably asked about Qingluan's situation, and told Zhang Xiao that Qingluan might have been over-consumed before, and now he can only repair it slowly, or send it back to Longhu Mountain.

After all, purifying the soul and stabilizing the mind are Qingluan's innate magical powers. Sister Bird is just a bluebird with Qingluan's bloodline. After using her talent for so long, she is indeed very tired and needs to recover slowly.

I can only let her fall asleep slowly.

Zhang Xiao made a very comfortable little nest for Senior Qingluan and placed it next to his pillow. The little wizards of Slytherin were also very concerned about this magical bird that could give them small fruits.

There are often little wizards eagerly asking Zhang Xiao if he is ready, or spontaneously weaving some garlands and sending them over.

Even Malfoy secretly checked how to treat the phoenix when it was sick. Unfortunately, the phoenix is ​​too mysterious. Currently, only the Dumbledore family in the wizarding world has a phoenix.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Xiao finally figured out why Fox's old pervert had not appeared recently - it was preparing for nirvana and had been in an extremely weak state for the entire year.

Coincidentally, both Qingluan and Phoenix are getting weak.

Zhang Xiao gently moved Qingluan's nest to his side, and stroked its soft feathers.

Malfoy in the next bed sighed suddenly, clattered the schedule and said:

"Zhang, what a bad luck. Lockhart has another class tomorrow. You said I bought the kind of candy developed by the Weasley brothers that will make you vomit if you eat it. Can I skip class?"

Lockhart's class?

Thinking of the exaggerated stage play and extremely embarrassing dialogue, Zhang Xiao could only be grateful that he was in coma and slept for a few extra days and skipped a few classes.

Crabbe and Goyle stuck their heads out from their beds and asked in horror: "Draco, do you still have that candy? I want it too."
