On Christmas Eve, Ariana stayed in the boys' dormitory.

However, Ariana kicked James to Sirius Blake's bed very rudely, and occupied James' bed by herself, so she stayed with him to spend the first Christmas Eve without family by her side for the first time in her life .

Ariana was lying on the strange bed with her eyes open, not feeling sleepy at all.

The habit of recognizing the bed made her unable to fall asleep at the prescribed time.

In the quiet space, only the light breathing of the bed next door.

I don't know how long it has passed, or it is already dawn, and the stars are still twinkling outside the window.When Arianna finally fell asleep in a daze, she suddenly heard a rustling sound, and then the quilt wrapped around her body was lifted, and a gust of cold air poured into the quilt, accompanied by a warm human body rolling. Into her arms, a restless leg was placed on her thigh, and then a pair of arms were tightly wrapped around her waist.

The familiar human body and that bad sleeping position made Arianna know that someone had a bad sleeping habit again, and dared to touch her bed in the middle of the night.

"Arianna, I miss Mom and Dad..."

A soft whisper rang in his ears, which also stopped Ariana from kicking him off the bed.Ariana pursed her lips and sighed softly in her heart.She knew how much the Potters doted on their only son, responded to his every request, put him first in everything, raised him into a fearless little bully, and at the same time made this 11-year-old boy inseparable. open them.In this important annual festival, it is the first time for him that he does not have his family by his side.

Although a certain little bastard always provokes her with sarcasm, it is undeniable that since childhood, this guy has been used to putting her in his heart and prioritizing everything.

Habit, what a terrible thing!

I wonder if such a habit will change when he grows up?After all, in this world, no one can be by someone's side forever. One day, each of them will have their own family and gradually forget it.

Thinking about it, Arianna pulled the quilt up and wrapped them tightly, patted the boy nestled in her arms on the back, and said softly, "James, go to sleep..."

----------------

On the next Christmas morning, the house was full of presents. After the two woke up and got dressed, they began to unwrap the Christmas presents.

This year Ariana received a considerable amount of Christmas gifts, among which, in addition to gifts from relatives, friends she knew, and some students with better relationships in Slytherin, there were also many gifts from unknown people—and most of them were Girly gifts from Hogwarts girls are easy to spot.Although she didn't know the name of the giver, Arianna still sorted them out and put them away carefully.

"Arianna, Arianna!"

Over there, James' pleasantly surprised voice came. Ariana looked up and saw the boy running towards him holding a gift box, his eyes were bright, and his face was flushed with excitement.

"Arianna, look, Dad finally gave me this invisibility cloak of our family! Haha, with it in the future, let's see who can catch me during the night tour! If Sirius knows, he will definitely You're so envious of me!" The boy smiled arrogantly while holding the silver and smooth invisibility cloak.

"James, the purpose of Mr. Potter sending you the Invisibility Cloak is not for you to use it to go out at night and violate school rules." Ariana raised her hand and tapped him on the head, so that he would not mistake Potter's father's intention.

"As a Gryffindor, don't swim at night, or give me death!" James said with a serious face, and then his expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Arianna, let me tell you secretly, in fact, my father relied on this thing back then. The Invisibility Cloak was able to have a tryst with my mother at night, and it was thanks to it that their relationship developed by leaps and bounds and they got married right after graduation!" James said proudly, betraying his father easily.

Arianna gave up the idea of ​​correcting the little bastard's mistakes. With such an unscrupulous father, he couldn't complain that his son would be raised as a little bastard.Arianna can foresee that the little bastard with the invisibility cloak will definitely be even more powerful in night tours in the future. I don't know what will happen to Hogwarts by then.

With the invisibility cloak, James played like crazy during the whole vacation. He even took Ariana to go on a night tour at night, and cleverly avoided the patrolling professor many times.This greatly increased James' confidence, and even started to think about the Forbidden Forest.James remembered that he used to compete with Greenglass to see who could be the first to get the unicorn hair in the Forbidden Forest.Thinking of Greengrass' dirty thoughts about Ariana, James secretly swore in his heart that if Greenglass didn't take back his dirty thoughts, he would definitely want Greenglass to look good!

However, the trip to the Forbidden Forest was not fully implemented before James’ third grade. The reason was that when James leaked out that he would rely on the Invisibility Cloak to go to the Forbidden Forest, Arianna dragged him to an empty space on the fourth floor with a sullen face. In the classroom, he was taught a hard lesson, and the painful lesson finally made him completely give up on this overreaching idea.

For this, Sirius Black felt extremely regretful, but he was smart enough not to go to Ariana to seek justice for his brother—in this regard, the aristocratic education of the Black family was somewhat successful. it's the best.

After Christmas is New Year's Day, and soon the students return to school.

The days have not changed much, or are still somewhat different. Lily's good friend, Severus Snape of Lestlin, no longer ignores Ariana as before, although the expression is still indifferent, as if He doesn't care about anything except Lily, but at least he won't show a slight dislike for Arianna's existence when the three of them are reading or talking together.

Although he didn't say it clearly, in fact Snape was really an out-of-group kid. His clothes were outdated and ordinary. Although his appearance was tidy, he still looked too shabby and outlandish among a group of Slytherins who were proud of their family wealth.It is obvious that taciturnity is his characteristic, sensitive and proud, and he habitually blends himself into the most inconspicuous corner, making people ignore him.Slytherins are classified by family background and ability, and twos and threes gather together to form a small force.But Snape didn't join any forces. He seemed to be integrated into life with Slytherin, but in fact he was alone, he didn't accept anyone, and he wasn't accepted by them.Fortunately, his potion level is excellent, he is the best among the first-year students at Hogwarts, one of Professor Hogarth's favorite students, Slytherin respects the strong, his ability is there, not as good as Slytherin's. Leitlin's students ostracized him for this.

Although Lily also has a girl's careful and considerate side, her carefulness just doesn't show in her childhood friend. I don't know whether she trusts him too much or takes it for granted. After she and Ariana become good friends, Snape pulls into her and In Arianna's world, she didn't know that her good friend actually didn't like Ariana in her heart, and rejected any interruption of their time together because of Ariana's existence.

Severus Snape didn't like anyone who shared the vision of the little red-haired witch.

This is the only good friend in his life, the only girl he cares about.

And Lily obviously liked Ariana very much, and she couldn't forget Ariana even during the holidays. Even when they got together throughout the holiday, they worried about whether Ariana, who stayed at school, would be bullied by James Potter from time to time.It made Snape feel like someone had taken away his only good friend, and it was a terrible feeling.

Long ago, Ariana noticed this very keenly, but she didn't take it very seriously.After the holiday, although Snape's sudden change of attitude towards her made her feel a little strange, it didn't make her take it to heart, and he just did what he had to do.

One time when the three of them came to the library to read and study together, Snape solemnly said thank you to Ariana while Lily was looking for books.

"I liked your Christmas present very much, thank you..." Snape said softly, with a hint of chagrin in his voice.

This Christmas, he received several more gifts than before. Among them, the gift Ariana gave him was the most heartfelt. It was a manuscript containing many precious potion formulas, which made him feel like a treasure. , but Arianna gave him a Christmas present.However, he didn't expect that Grindelwald would give him a Christmas gift, so he didn't prepare her gift at Christmas.This feeling of being owed a favor and not paying it back in time didn't please Snape very much.

"You're welcome, it's part of my mother's collection of potions books, I think you might like it." Arianna raised her eyes from the book and looked at the boy opposite, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, "Of course, I would also like to thank Mr. Snape for your generosity in sending me back to Gryffindor Tower, otherwise I would have missed the curfew."

Snape didn't expect her to say that, and was taken aback for a moment.At that time, he only helped Lili because of her face, and he didn't expect that she would take it to heart.It seems that although the people of Grindelwald are cold, they know how to be grateful and have delicate thoughts, which is different from that arrogant and arrogant Potter.

Snape knew that his appearance and character were very unpleasant, except for Lily who would unconditionally trust him to protect him, the rest of the people would have more or less strange emotions when seeing him or getting along with him, even is prejudice.But when Grindelwald faced himself, Strange didn't have any opinion at all, just because he was Lily's friend, and Lily got them together because he wanted to pull them together, so he accepted it naturally.

After figuring this out, Snape no longer rejected Ariana being so valued by Lily, and slowly accepted this girl who was closer to her classmates.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

Maybe that's it.
