Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

It was already mid-December before we knew it. Winter entered Hogwarts very early, and it began to snow from time to time at the end of November. Now, the entire Hogwarts campus has been uniformly dressed in silver.

Because of Christmas, most of the little wizards have gone home for the holidays, which is indeed good news for Filch. Due to the snow, many naughty little wizards like to have snowball fights in the snow, which makes them often wet.

When these naughty ghosts returned to the castle, they would leave their dirty, wet footprints along the way, which greatly increased Filch's workload. This poor old squib had to spend a long time cleaning the house with outdated cleaning tools that could be solved by just cleaning it up.

When our Mike woke up that day, he found many owls gathering in front of the window. Seeing Mike open his eyes, these owls immediately pecked the glass with their beaks, signaling Mike to open the window.

Mike quickly got up and opened the window for these owls, forgetting that last night was Christmas Eve. Christmas customs in the wizarding world are completely different from those in the Muggle world. In the eyes of wizards, Christmas was initially just an excuse for them to be lazy, and then it was passed down and turned into a grand festival. So naturally there is no legend about Santa Claus coming into your house from the chimney and putting gifts in the socks by your bedside.

Therefore, on Christmas Eve in the wizarding world, every household will leave a crack in the doors and windows so that the owls can deliver the gifts quietly at night, so that they can see the Christmas gifts in the room when they get up in the morning. .

However, our Mike apparently forgot.

Mike didn't receive many gifts, only seven. Among them, Franklin personally handed the gift to Mike yesterday. He was not used to using an owl to send things. Mike was surprised when he opened it and found a bag of sizzling honey candies.

You must know that first-year wizards have no way to go to Hogsmeade. If you want to get this exclusive candy of Duke Bee, you can only ask smugglers like the Weasley brothers to bring it. Of course, you also know the price.

Mike returned the gift, his own study notes.

This is the most valuable gift among all the gifts he gave. He chose Dolphin's Magic Drink for all other gifts.

Mike has regarded Franklin as his confidant, and Franklin's talent in magic has not let him down, so Mike decided it was time to open some cheats for Franklin.

Continuing to look through the Christmas gifts, Harry gave him a large box of Bibi's All-Flavour Beans, and Ron gave him an old Gryffindor scarf with a large stain on it. Mike took one look at it and threw it into the trash can. Hermione gave him a Lockhart novel. Unexpectedly, this little girl became obsessed with Lockhart so early.

The Weasley brothers gave a gift together, a large bag of dung bombs.

Mike was shocked when he opened their gifts. You must know that these dung bombs are not very stable. If so many dung bombs exploded in his dormitory, his dormitory would be uninhabitable.

Professor Flitwick gave him a set of combat wand covers. Different from ordinary wand covers, this combat wand cover had the word "combat" added to it. Okay, this is bullshit.

The battle wand holster is one of the Auror's equipment and is located on the forearm. Its structure is actually a bit like the hidden sword in Assassin's Creed, but it is driven by magic. During combat, you only need to think about it to pop out the wand and enter combat instantly.

In addition, the set given by Professor Flitwick also has a flying charm. In the future, even if Mike's wand is knocked away by a disarming spell, there is no need to worry. The attached flying charm on the wand cover will automatically release and let the wand return to the user. hands.

Mike put on the wand cover and moved his arms. He found that it did not affect his movements and nodded with satisfaction. Professor Flitwick is truly a fighting champion. The simple and violent gift he gave directly boosted Mike's combat effectiveness.

Next comes the highlight. Miss Penello’s gift to Mike is a notebook, a notebook for senior pure-blood graduates to learn about the Disembodiment Curse. The cover of the note also reads "To my beloved, Penello."

However, there is nothing else except this paragraph, and there is not even a signature. It seems that this is a Christmas gift given to Penello by a certain licking dog, and then after Penelo received it, he sent it to himself overnight. .

Mike opened his notes and found the incantation of the Disillusionment Curse and the method of waving the wand. He experimented with it. The result was just as Mike expected, there was no reaction at all.

Mike put the notes in his drawer and did not continue to look through them. Today is Christmas, and Hogwarts holds grand celebrations throughout the day.

Perhaps because the professors were afraid that the remaining students would feel lonely, Hogwarts was very ornately decorated today.

Along the way, Mike discovered that not only the Ravenclaw lounge was decorated in a festive manner, but also the corridors and aisles were decorated. Even the usually cold armors were put on Santa Claus red hats. Looks very cute.

Not to mention the hall, a tall Christmas tree was placed in the center of the hall. This Christmas tree reached straight into the sky, and you couldn't even see its top when you stood under it and looked up.

Its trunk is also decorated with Christmas decorations, sparkling under the magic ceiling. There must be some kind of magic added to the branches and leaves. Crystal snowflakes are constantly falling on them. Different from the clumps of snow outside, these snowflakes form perfect hexagons just like those described in fairy tales. These snowflakes Falling slowly, it disappeared when it hit the ground.

In such a magical scene, Harry and others who arrived early had already gone crazy chasing the snowflakes. After catching one, they watched it slowly disappear in their hands. After a while, they were distressed. Continue to catch a snowflake, and it looks like they are taking one back as a souvenir.

Even though Mike's mental age was far older than that of the little wizard present, he couldn't help but feel lost. This is much more real than any 3D movie in the previous life.

The young wizards were led by professors from various colleges to sit together. Dumbledore did not say anything. With his "Eat!", various delicacies appeared on the plates in front of the young wizards. .

The little wizards cheered and went into the battle to eliminate the food. Dumbledore sat high up and looked at the little wizards feasting in the audience with a smile.

Driven by the surrounding atmosphere, Mike's appetite increased greatly. After the Weasley brothers snatched a chicken leg from his plate, a food fight got out of hand.

None of the professors were angry, Professor Flitwick even joined in, and even the usually strictest Professor McGonagall was smiling.

On this day, everyone was immersed in the joy of Christmas and put aside all their worries.
