Entering December, the weather became extremely bad and the cold wind raged, and people who were freezing were more and more reluctant to leave the fireplace. The weather was too cold, and Harry forbade Sirius to brave the severe cold to visit him again, but he promised to communicate with his godfather every day. I'll go back to Potter Manor every week to check on Regulus' situation, and by the way, to appease a big dog who is quite lonely.

That day, McGonagall announced the Christmas ball after class, and asked Ron to cooperate with the Gryffindor students she taught to dance. Harry looked at Ron with unrequited eyes, and discussed with the twins in a low voice how to make Ron En has an unforgettable memory.Then he thought about who he needed as a dance partner. Hermione was the safest, but he felt that Ron should invite Hermione more.Ginny was out of his consideration. He only regarded her as his younger sister now and didn't want to give her any hope.In fact, he could invite the team's sixth grader, Angelina, but in his memory, Angelina should be Fred's dance partner.oh!correct!He suddenly thought of a person, Luna, whom he was not familiar with now.Although the crazy girl always dresses strangely, she will still attach great importance to other people's invitations, and Luna is really smart, she will understand that she is not very suitable for the prom.

Harry got a feel for Luna's position, hurried through a row of whispering girls, and found Luna in the aisle not far from the Ravenclaw lounge. Searching for shoes, Harry glanced at his forehead, felt his surroundings, and found Luna's shoes behind the sculpture leading to the stairs.He fetched the shoes and handed them to Luna, and took the opportunity to invite Luna to be his dance partner.

"Will you stay at school for Christmas? Would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me if you can?" Luna's protruding eyes looked at him in surprise.

"The Yule Ball? Invite me?" Harry nodded.

"But I don't know how to dance, except for the opening dance, so I shouldn't stay at the party for long, if you mind..." He paused and looked at Luna.

"I don't know how to dance, and no one has ever invited me, but can I ask why you invited me? I remember you were friends with... Granger, I thought you would rather invite her" Luna was a little puzzled, she He and Harry are only acquaintances, and they are scattered in two colleges, and their life circles are completely different.

"I read your father's article by Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood. About my godfather Sirius, your father is the only one who questioned it. I like it very much. So I would like to ask you to jump in as a friend. Dance, if you don't mind." Harry covered his mouth and smiled, a gleam in his green eyes.

"Oh! Thank you very much for your liking, I also think he is great." Luna smiled happily "I would like to go to the dance with you"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the gate of the auditorium on the day of the ball, I'll go first!" The two said goodbye to each other, and Harry went back to the tower alone.

On Friday, the old bat patrolled the night. Harry turned into a fox early and ran to his place for dinner. Now as long as there is nothing to do, I will go to the cellar to get food.

The little fox licked his paws clean, and was ready to make a pendant on his legs after eating and drinking, but the old bat still had two pots of potions to finish today, so he had to hang it on his shoulders, and put his tail on his back at will .

He didn't dare to move around in the potion room. The old bat was too skinny, so his legs were a little fleshy, and he couldn't sleep on his shoulders. He wrapped his tail around his neck to prevent himself from falling asleep. From a distance, it looks like a fox fur scarf.

Snape added the white camphor powder to the crucible, stirred it clockwise five times and counterclockwise three times, then changed to a low heat and continued to cook. After confirming the time, he went to the office to continue revising the thesis.The little fox around his neck had already slowed down his breathing and stuck to him like a ball of fire. He pointed to the fireplace with his magic wand to light the flame. The little fox likes to sleep in a warm place.

There was a knock on the cellar door around eight o'clock, and it was Malfoy who entered.

"Sir..." As soon as he entered the door, he saw the "scarf" hanging around Snape's neck, and he froze there stupidly. No one in Slytherin didn't know this fox, and most of them thought it belonged to their headmaster. Living potions, never thought that Snape would really keep him as a pet.The little fox fell asleep and coiled tighter and tighter. The nine tails were either wrapped around him or hung behind him. It looked like he was carrying an octopus, which made Malfoy feel that the atmosphere was a little weird.

Snape obviously realized why the other party was staring at him, he frowned, and pinched the tip of the tail around his neck.The little fox trembled as if frightened, and almost fell off his shoulders. He picked it up reflexively. The little fox rubbed against his hand sleepily, sighing at the sudden smell , Green eyes cast a bewildered glance with tears in them.Then Malfoy blushed as if possessed by an evil spirit, shaking his body short of breath.

The reprimand of "Potter" frightened the little fox to wake up from his sleepiness. He shuddered and hit the old bat's leg, then he kicked his legs and raised his head to look at the old bat. The old bat was frowning. stared at him.

"I don't know if Charm can't be used indiscriminately? Unlock it" It was because he didn't wake up and accidentally glanced at Malfoy. He let out a soft cry in embarrassment, and Malfoy woke up in a daze.But he obviously forgot what he was doing here, he glanced at the blush covered by the table in bewilderment, and then ran out in a hurry with a red face, staring at each other.

"I...I..." The air was very quiet, the old bat glanced away first, the little fox stood on his lap trembling and wanted to explain something, completely forgot his own fox language, the other party couldn't understand.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, the little fox called out timidly, raised his forelimbs to support his chest, then rubbed his head against his chin, and was pushed away by the old bat.

"Stupid thing..." He rubbed the little fox's head fiercely, successfully ruffled his neat red hair, and then carried the fox to the potion room to turn off the fire.The aggrieved little fox dared not speak out, and stayed obediently in the arms of the old bat and let him knead him.During the curfew, the old bat drove him out responsibly and warned him not to stay outside. The most annoying thing was that the supper was confiscated.

Harry didn't dare to go to the cellar for two days on the weekend, and stayed in the Room of Requirement to play autistic. He was annoyed that he didn't know how he was discovered, but the old bat didn't seem too angry. Could it be that the old bat is a fuzzy?Does he need to turn into a little fox to shamelessly act like a spoiled child... Vomit!It's scary to think about it...

It's another new week, and the girls who didn't stop Harry on the weekend lined up to invite him to dance. When she learned that he already had a partner, Hermione attracted the hostility of most people. Angry, she raised her head proudly, but privately threatened Harry to tell her who his mysterious dance partner was.

"I have prepared your Christmas present, it will make you the most charming star at the ball." Of course, Harry did not choose to succumb to the power of the little lioness, but chose to buy her with gifts.

During the last week of term, the school was getting busier and noisier day by day, and rumors about the Yule Ball were everywhere.Harry didn't participate in this kind of excitement, he was still his good student, even though he was the focus of the whole school now, he was still humble and polite, which made him even better in the hearts of everyone.

The old bats obviously didn't want them to have a good Christmas, and the last class tested their antidote.The seven grades were taking the exam together in the auditorium. Ron was irritated about the dance partner. He felt that Harry had no morals to abandon them and invite others without telling them who he invited. Then he was thrown by the old bat with a book for whispering. Of course he obviously doesn't have much memory, when the old bat turned his head back, he began to mutter again.

"I think you can invite Hermione." Harry suggested in a low voice, and then Ron seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to talk to Hermione in a strange way, successfully driving Hermione away, and Harry held his forehead dumbfounded.

"She's a liar, isn't she?" Ron pursed his lips and said, "How could anyone invite her?"

"You think it is..." Harry wrote the last sentence of the test formula, and when the old bat was about to hit people again, he turned his head and handed him the booklet. He smiled at the old bat cheekily and harmlessly, Received a stare from the old bat, Harry hurriedly abandoned his friend happily, and slipped out of the auditorium by himself.

After dinner, the little fox slipped into the cellar again. The old bat was correcting the test papers. He consciously jumped on the old bat's legs, lazily roasting on the fire.

"I can understand adding blue tobacco leaves. Why did you choose to replace the mother-of-pearl and add white fresh mince?" The old bat said suddenly, Harry shook his ears, and opened his eyes only to find that he had changed to his own test paper.Harry's antidote formula is used to detoxify snakes. After the death of the old bat, he has always been resistant to snakes. Later, he specially prepared this formula. It is not outstanding, but in the potion without phoenix tears, hemostasis has been added. The analgesic effect is mainly to suppress the rapidly spreading snake venom, because the cause of death of the old bat was snake venom and excessive bleeding, and the only potion inspiration in Harry's life was dedicated to this potion.

"Because..." Thinking that he was still a fox, he closed his mouth again, looked around, and seemed to have nothing to use, so he raised his little paw and wrote on his leg, snake bite hurts.Then he successfully shredded the old bat's trousers. He awkwardly held up his erroneous paw, and a black cotton thread was still wrapped around the pointed nail.

"Have you become a fox, and have you become a fox's brain?" The old bat rescued his little paw from the ball of thread, and cast Renew on his pants.

"Bleeding can excrete part of the snake's venom, and stopping the bleeding is not necessarily a good thing." Looking at the fox who was about to scratch his pants again, the old bat flicked his head unbearably, "Change back and talk."

"You won't talk to me well..." Apparently Harry didn't intend to change back to human form, he stretched out his claws and pointed at the letters and spelled out a sentence for him, "The healing effect of white fresh powder is not so fast , the fire lin beetle suppresses the rapidly spreading snake venom, and the bezoar helps detoxify, and its effect is faster than that of fritillaria. But the medicine has a disadvantage, the blue nightshade relieves pain but also sleeps, and the bitten person will not feel pain as long as he takes it , but it will fall into sleep after a while, I don’t think I can replace it with something else”

"You can try frost pollen, replace the blue eggplant leaves with essence, and neutralize the effect of the medicine first." The old bat thought for a while and answered him. This is his recent potion research, and it is still in the experimental stage if it is not completely successful.Harry licked his hand in thanks.

He went back late that night and missed the scene where Ron invited Fleur, but he also heard about the dispute between Ron and Hermione. It can go with the flow, but fortunately Ron invited Parvati as a dance partner, at least it made people feel more at ease.

This was the busiest Christmas holiday in Hogwarts, basically no one came home, they wandered aimlessly after dinner, and then caught an eavesdropping platinum bird.

"You nasty peacock," Ron cursed angrily, still bitter about Malfoy's attempt to steal his friend.

"I'm not looking for your side." Malfoy waved his hand in disgust, obviously treating Ron as a pollutant.

"What are you doing again?" Harry whispered, taking him aside.

"Who's your partner? Granger?" Malfoy frowned as if dissatisfied with the guess.

"Could it be that you were bought by Rita Skeeter? You're such a gossip." Harry rolled his eyes speechlessly. Since when did the platinum bird be so nosy.

"Let me just ask, you have really bad eyesight." Harry looked at him with lowered eyes, obviously unhappy, Malfoy muttered a little angrily and left.

On Christmas morning, Harry was awakened by Dobby, who came to thank Harry for sending him new socks.Ron, who was woken up, gave Dobby Molly a new sweater.Dobby handed Harry his present, socks he knitted himself.After Dobby left, Harry looked through his Christmas presents. Except for an extra box of chocolates from the platinum bird, there was nothing new. He sighed in disappointment.

Go downstairs and meet Hermione in the common room, who screams and gives him a big hug.

"I really like your gift!" Harry gave Hermione a bottle of his homemade perfume, which is different from ordinary products on the market. This bottle of perfume is somewhat similar to a love potion. Similarly, he specially extracted it from the fox fragrance. For this reason, he turned into Meihu and tried many times before collecting it. The strong and magical effect was removed, and only the smell was released.

"I sprayed it on the handkerchief just now, and the whole room was boiling. They all asked me where I bought it. I didn't dare to say and ran away. I know it's not easy for you to do this." They went all the way to the cafeteria for dinner, Hermione whispered , looking around for fear of people hearing "Did you improve the love potion?"

"Who do you think it seduced?" Harry shrugged, tilting his head at her.

"No, they only say it smells good. Everyone smells different. Lavender said it was cocoa, Parvati said it was rose, Ginny thought it was lemon pie, and I thought it was grassy scent." Hermione grinned , her teeth have been adjusted.

"I didn't think there was any special smell when I made it, it was all medicine." It may be because the fox fragrance was extracted from his own body. Harry didn't smell any special smell. Sirius smelled it before he was sure of success.

"Oh! What a pity" Hermione patted him on the shoulder regretfully, she was so satisfied with the perfume.

The author has something to say:

I really like the scene where the professor knocks on Ron and Harry, I'm a devil! It's booming and it's in a trance...
