Without the basilisk and the possibility of being petrified anytime, anywhere, the atmosphere in Hogwarts suddenly relaxed.And in this atmosphere, the Christmas holidays came.

Alberta naturally went home for the holidays, and few Slytherins stayed at school for the Christmas holidays.

When Alberta woke up on the morning of leaving school, snowflakes were just falling outside the window, and a thick layer of snow had already piled up on the ground, making the whole world look white.

The black-haired girl flinched when she got out of bed, and looked up at the small fireplace in the room. The fire inside had been extinguished long ago.

The dark-haired girl took the magic wand that she had placed beside her pillow before going to sleep, and waved it at the fireplace, and then, the fire inside burned again.

The luggage had been packed long ago, and the black-haired girl came out of the bathroom after washing up.

Today she didn't get up early to exercise, or, since the winter in the UK, she rarely exercised outside, instead, she was in an abandoned classroom.

"At this time, I'm really glad that I'm a wizard." The girl murmured to herself, casting a warming spell on herself.

Then, she opened the door and walked out.

Her dormitory is not far from the common room. After walking for a while and turning a corner, the situation in the common room is clear at a glance.

...There is already someone there so early?

She was a little surprised, raised her eyebrows, and walked over calmly.

The man, noticing Alberta's appearance, stood up and faced her.

It seemed that he was specially waiting for her.

"Higgins." Alberta said.

The brown boy smiled, bent slightly, and raised his right hand, motioning for Alberta to sit down.

Alberta did it with kindness.After sitting down, she glanced at him and said, "It looks pretty good."

Higgins smiled bitterly: "Where is it not bad? The professors are afraid of missing some knowledge points, and the amount of homework assigned is also amazing."

That's right, Terrence Higgins is in fifth grade and facing OWLs.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Alberta did not continue the topic, and immediately pointed out the reason for Higgins' visit.

Higgins is also a sensible person. He knows what kind of person Alberta is. There is no need to go around in front of her. It is better to directly explain the purpose of coming.

"It's an invitation card. An invitation card for the Christmas banquet." As he spoke, Higgins handed an invitation card to her.

Alberta didn't answer, and stared at him for a few seconds. After he couldn't help but look away, he retracted his gaze.She stared at her hands on her knees. The nails were neatly trimmed, and the light pink color indicated that they were healthy.

"Is it actually for me? It seems... urgent?"

Higgins was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke: "After all, I'm already fifteen, and it's time to start choosing candidates for my fiancée."

Alberta reached out to take the invitation, but said in her mouth: "I will go, but——I won't get engaged so early, you don't have to take me into consideration."

Higgins breathed a sigh of relief, and thought about joking: "Oh, come on, Alberta. Don't you know that I just treat you as a friend? For a person like you, being a friend is pretty good, If it goes any further, I can't stand it."

"...I think my personality is pretty good."

Higgins rolled his eyes for the first time, and said, "Yes, you have a good character, and it's not bad if you will get revenge."

After listening to what he said, Alberta blinked and explained: "If no one steps on my bottom line, I'm still easy to talk. Besides, I think my bottom line is still very low."

"Of course. You just divide people into several categories. The closest category, you will defend them no matter what, and they are your bottom line. As long as other people's behavior will not involve them, no matter what, you will not Get angry or do something more radical."

Alberta nodded, showing a smile: "That's right."

"I just didn't expect...it was just Keton in the past, but now, Malfoy, Parkinson and Zabini are all included in your protection circle."

Alberta was silent.

In fact, even she didn't know how she brought the three of them into her circle of protection.What protectors, what admirers, these are just superficial.There are many people who are the same, but in the end only these three people succeeded.

"Okay, I got up too early today, and I still feel a bit of a headache." Higgins stood up massaging his temples, glanced at Alberta, and said, "I'll go back to sleep, you can do it yourself .”

"Okay." Alberta replied.

"Huh? Strange...Your Highness, you are in a bit of a bad mood today..." Pansy sat next to Alberta, resting his chin in one hand, and playing wizard chess on the table with the other, comparing with Blaise on the opposite side .

The clicking sound of the train did not enter the box, and the Malfoy family's exclusive box was filled with the faint scent of desserts, which came from the three-tier dessert plate on the table.

Alberta reached out and took a piece of blueberry tart from the third layer of the snack plate, put it on the plate, and then put some fresh milk into her Ceylon black tea.After doing this, she frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, Draco couldn't help but stabbed: "What? Is Miss Mayne dissatisfied with the afternoon tea at Malfoy's house?"

When Neil heard this, he couldn't help frowning, Pansy and Blaise also had expressions of disapproval.

In fact, after saying that sentence, Draco himself was a little uncomfortable, but in order to maintain the demeanor of the Malfoy family, he still raised his chin and did not apologize.

Alberta blinked, and it took a while to realize what Draco had said to her, and thinking about Pansy's words before, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"No, the afternoon tea at Malfoy's is very good, it's my own problem."

"So, what happened to you today? Didn't you take your medicine?" Neil asked.

Although Alberta felt a little embarrassed about her behavior just now, after hearing Neil's words, she gave him a sideways glance. "No, I don't need to take medicine. Come to think of it, you need...to take some to improve your memory."

"Hey! Don't bring such a life attack!"

"Oh? I'm not attacking in life, I'm just stating the facts."

“…………………………… QAQ”

Alberta patted Neil's shoulder, hooked the corners of her lips, and said, "Okay, I know what you mean. I'm just...thinking about a question."

"Huh? What's the problem?" Pansy moved the chess pieces to the opposite side and said to Blaise, "General." Then... watching his pawns hit Blaise's king and fall.

"...Sorry." Although Alberta felt that it was okay to say this question, she still felt that it would make them feel a little uncomfortable, right?She was thinking about why she included them in the protection circle.

Several people did not continue to ask.

This is the kindness of Slytherin.If a friend doesn't want to talk, don't ask, and give the other party plenty of personal space.

Alberta turned her attention to Draco, who was reading the latest wizard guide.As the vane of fashion in the wizarding world, Draco paid great attention to whether his clothes were at the forefront of fashion.Although Alberta felt that... Draco was a bit too dressed up, a little too old.However, seeing that Draco didn't continue to brush his hair back and put on a lot of pomade like the first time he saw him, Alberta didn't say anything.

——If he dares to comb his hair back again, she will "clear water like a spring" until his hair hangs down one by one!

I don't know if it was the cruel words that were only in Alberta's heart. Draco, who was reading a magazine, shuddered. Then, he raised his head, picked up the black tea cup, and took a few sips.

"What's wrong with this winter? It seems to be much colder than usual?" Draco asked.

Blaise was still immersed in the feeling of being defeated by Pansy just now, and said casually: "Come on, Draco, who doesn't know that you are afraid of the cold to death, when did you not say that?"

Draco, who was poked in the center of his mind, became annoyed: "Shut up, Blaise! Act like you're not afraid of the heat!"

Blaise shrugged, motioned for Neil to take his place and play wizard chess with Pansy, and said, "I don't deny that I'm afraid of heat. But what about you..."

"To shut up!"

And then... Draco shut up... because Alberta gave him a Warming Charm.

"Oh, Draco, you are so stupid..." Pansy looked up and saw Draco standing there in a daze, as if he had been petrified by a basilisk.

Blaise put one hand on Neil's shoulder, and smiled sullenly: "The effect...is like giving everything to petrification!"

Seeing that Draco was about to erupt, Alberta said lightly, "Okay, stop making trouble."

Pansy and Blaise quickly shut their mouths and stared at the wizard chess obediently, as if nothing had happened just now.

A riot that was about to happen was quietly extinguished.

When the Hogwarts Express entered the station, several people were carrying the cursed small and light luggage and were about to get off.Then they heard soft sobbing from the side.

It was a girl with red hair.Just by the color, it must be the youngest daughter of the Weasley family.

"What's the matter with that guy? Still crying at home for the holidays?" Draco muttered softly, but didn't take it to heart.

But Alberta turned her head when she got off the car. She seemed to have heard some words just now...

"Notebook", "Control"...

It's really...it's impossible not to think too much...

Although Alberta was a little concerned about the words of the youngest daughter of the Weasley family, but after seeing Ai Weisi who came to pick her up, she resolutely put those things aside for the time being.Right now, enjoying the Christmas holidays is all about it!

After saying goodbye to Draco and the others, Alberta briskly walked towards Elvis...
