Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 177 Dumbledore’s Gift (page 12)

Lucius let go of his wife, shook his black cloak, and strode towards the living room.

Pulling out his high-backed chair and sitting on it, Lucius took a deep breath and said in a dry tone:

"The situation is probably what I told you before, so your decision is-"

Some people squirmed uneasily in their seats, some lowered their heads and pretended to be interested in the silver teacup in front of them, and some tightened their robes and murmured meaninglessly.

But no one spoke.

Lucius tapped the smooth marble floor with his snake staff and made a sound:

"Since we don't have any objections, let's proceed as promised. Sign the impeachment letter for the Principal of Hogwarts."

Everyone here couldn't help but tremble and became more and more uneasy. Impeaching Dumbledore seemed like a provocation.

But as Lucius said, no one can afford the price of betrayal if Voldemort returns.

The news that came out last semester almost frightened these people. Voldemort was not dead, even though he was very weak.

To be honest, no one wants to see Voldemort return. He is like a madman and increasingly frightens the pure-blood families who follow him.

So after Voldemort lost power, no one wanted to go to him, but chose to be an ostrich and bury his head in the sand.

In the dormitory, Zhang Xiao and Malfoy worked hard for a long time and finally cleared out the gifts. Compared with the previous year, the number of love letters has further increased, and the number of books is also quite large.

It can only be said that the older you get, the more obvious it is that those girls want to hook up with you.

After finding an open place to sit down, Zhang Xiao took out the gift from Dumbledore. After opening it, he found a delicate silver cube inside.

The cube is not big, just about the same size as the Rubik's Cube I used to play with. There are complex and delicate patterns on the surface.

What is this? Zhang Xiao looked through it curiously for a while and found a note in the box that read:

"This is something I asked my old friend to make. I hope it will help you go further in the art of transfiguration."

Looking at the silver cube in his hand and the dense and complex patterns on its surface, Zhang Xiao studied it for a while, but still felt confused.

"Zhang, we are going to the auditorium." After Malfoy packed up his things, he stood at the door and shouted loudly to Zhang Xiao. It can only be said that the pony who was celebrating Christmas at school for the first time was very excited.

Zhang Xiao agreed, stuffed the silver cube into the Qiankun bag, and hurried towards the door.

When Zhang Xiao and Malfoy arrived at the auditorium, they found that there was a big change compared to yesterday.

The whole auditorium looked magnificent. Not only were there a dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost, and thick ribbons of mistletoe and holly criss-crossing the ceiling, but there was also enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling gently from the ceiling. .

The Christmas tree was hung with small gift boxes and wizard firecrackers. Zhang Xiao had played with these things last year, but Malfoy was the only one who happily held a bunch of firecrackers and played with them.

After a while, the entire auditorium was filled with the colorful smoke from the firecrackers, and Zhang Xiao had to use a cyclone to blow them away.

Dumbledore led them in singing some of his favorite Christmas carols, and Hagrid's voice became louder and louder as he downed glass after glass of eggnog.

Lockhart had made a comeback before the start of school, and now he was obviously starting to feel proud again. He was shaking his golden curly hair, talking loudly among the professors, and even pulling Snape to have a drink with him.

He boasted loudly that Snape won the last duel in the club 'for the sake of his colleagues', and he would not let it go next time.

Snape looked at Lockhart as if he were a fool for a while, but finally decided not to argue with the fool, and drank heavily alone.

Percy didn't notice that Fred had enchanted his prefect badge to read "Fool" and stupidly kept asking what everyone was laughing at.

Because there were too few people, everyone simply sat at a long table. Malfoy and Harry were laughing at each other loudly, mainly because of the Christmas gifts.

Hermione kept wanting to discuss the Christmas holiday homework with Zhang Xiao, and Ron seemed to have heard something extremely disgusting:

"Please, Hermione, could you please stop doing homework on this happy day."

Hermione rolled her eyes and replied sharply: "We have elective courses in our third year! Shouldn't we take advantage of now to plan carefully what to choose?"

Zhang Xiao smiled as he watched the little wizards making a fuss.

Malfoy and Harry sat together, their faces red and their ears red, arguing about something.

With a reserved smile on his face, Percy gave Hermione advice in a serious manner.

Fred and George smiled evilly, as if they had some funny ideas.

Dumbledore was sitting in front of the podium, holding a glass of wine and laughing. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick seemed to have drunk too much and were talking about some interesting topic.

Snape's face was still gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes always drifted towards Harry.

It seems pretty good if time stays at this moment.

Zhang Xiao happily picked up the cup, squinting and enjoying the good time.

In the afternoon, they originally planned to have a snowball fight like last year, but in the end they made a snowman instead at Hermione's suggestion.

Fred and George built a weird-looking snowman with a mop for hair, and swore that it was Penelo.

He also cast a spell on the snowman, chasing Percy around and making a sweet voice: Honey, kiss me!

Percy was going crazy. He pulled out his wand and roared loudly to show Fred and George something awesome.

So Zhang Xiao and the four little ones spent the entire afternoon watching Percy chase the twins.

For the safety of the little wizards who are staying on campus, they can only move around in the auditorium, and the professor will send them back to the common room at night.

Zhang Xiao conjured up a small square table and decided to teach them how to play cards.

The explosion rules of the crackle explosion card are variable. When Zhang Xiao threw out the king bomb, the deafening explosion directly collapsed the small table and turned all the little wizards on the card table into black faces.

The Landlord Plan had to be suspended.

After enjoying another sumptuous dinner in a lively manner, the hustle and bustle fell into silence, and the night once again enveloped Hogwarts Castle like a curtain.

Malfoy played for a day. He had never had this kind of experience of playing with 'friends' all day long. During Christmas at home, in an empty mansion, the family would eat rich but deserted dishes. Visit other families, or accept visits from others.

Such a fresh Christmas kept Malfoy in a state of excitement almost all day long. When he returned to the Slytherin common room, he immediately felt sleepy. After a long yawn, he walked towards the bed in vain.

Zhang Xiao shook his head and wore thick pajamas and came to the soft armchair in front of the fireplace. Only now did he have time to study what novelty Dumbledore had given him.

The silver cubes on the table shone under the firelight, and the complex lines on the surface seemed to be flowing with light. They were not light in weight and felt heavy in the hand.
