Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 32 Christmas

Before I knew it, it was mid-December, and Hogwarts entered winter very early, and it began to snow from time to time at the end of November.Up to now, the entire Hogwarts campus has been uniformly dressed in silver clothes.

Because of Christmas, most of the little wizards have gone home for the holidays, which is really good news for Filch.Due to the snow, many naughty little wizards like to have snowball fights in the snow, which makes their bodies 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workload.This poor old Squib, obviously a matter that can be solved by cleaning it up, but he needs to use those outdated cleaning tools to clean it for half a day.

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

Mike got up quickly and opened the windows for these owls. He forgot 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 just an excuse for them to be lazy at first, and then it was passed down and became a grand festival.So naturally there is no such legend that Santa Claus enters your home through the chimney and puts presents in the socks by your bedside.

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

Our Mike, however, apparently forgot.

Mike didn't receive many gifts, only seven.Among them, Franklin handed the gift to Mike in person yesterday, and he is not used to sending things with owls.Mike opened it and found that it was a bag of Zizi honey, which surprised Mike.

You must know that there is no way for first-year wizards to go to Hogsmeade. If you want to get this exclusive candy from the Duke of Bees, you can only let smugglers like the Weasley brothers bring it. Of course, you know the price.

Mike also gave back a gift, his own study notes.

This was the most valuable gift among the gifts he gave, and he chose the Dolphin Magic Drink for all other gifts.

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

Continuing to flip through the Christmas presents, Harry gave him a large box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans, and Ron gave him an old Gryffindor scarf with a large stain on it. Mike threw it into the trash can after one glance.Hermione gave him a copy of Lockhart's novel. I didn't expect this little girl to fall in love with Lockhart so early.

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

Mike was taken aback when he opened their presents. You must know that these big dung bombs are not very stable. If so many big dung bombs explode in his dormitory, his dormitory will be uninhabitable.

Professor Flitwick gave a set of battle wand sets. Unlike ordinary wand sets, this set of battle wand sets has the word "battle" in it.Well, this is crap.

The battle wand set is one of Auror's equipment, and the position of the equipment is the forearm.Its structure is actually a bit like the Hidden Blade in Assassin's Creed, but it is driven by magic power. When fighting, you only need to make the wand pop out with a thought, and enter the fighting state instantly.

In addition, the set given by Professor Flitwick also added the Flying Curse, even if Mike’s wand is knocked away by the Disarming Curse, it will not be afraid. hands.

Mike put on the wand cover and moved his arm, and found that it didn't affect his activities, so he nodded in satisfaction.Professor Flitwick really deserves to be a fighting champion. The gift he gave was simple and violent, which directly improved Mike's combat effectiveness.

The next thing is the highlight. The gift Miss Penello gave Mike is a notebook, a study note on the Disillusionment Curse for senior pure-blood graduates.The cover of the note also read "To my love, Penello."

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

Mike opened the notes and found the spell of the Disillusionment Charm and the way the wand was swung to experiment, but the result was as expected by Mike, and there was no reaction at all.

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

Perhaps because the professors were afraid that the students who stayed there would feel alone, Hogwarts is very ornately decorated today.

Along the way, Mike found that not only Ravenclaw's lounge was decorated in a festive look, but also the corridors and aisles were newly decorated, and even the usual cold armors were put on Santa's red hat, It looks very cute.

Not to mention the hall, a tall Christmas tree was placed in the center of the hall, this Christmas tree pierced into the sky, standing under it and looking up could not see its top.

Its trunk is also adorned with Christmas decorations, sparkling in the light of an enchanted ceiling.There should be some kind of magic attached to the branches and leaves. There are pieces of crystal snowflakes constantly falling on them. Different from the lumpy snow outside, these snowflakes form a perfect hexagon just like described in fairy tales. These snowflakes Slowly falling, but dissipated when it hit the ground.

Being in such a magical scene, Harry and the others who arrived early were already crazy about playing. They chased those snowflakes, caught one and watched it slowly disappear from their hands, and after a while they were distressed. Continue to grab the next snowflake, it seems that they look like taking one back as a souvenir.

Even though Mike's mental age was far older than the little wizards present, he couldn't help but lose his mind.This is much more real than any 3D movie in the previous life.

The little wizards were led by the professors from various colleges to sit together. Dumbledore didn't make any speeches. With his "Eat!", various delicacies appeared on the dinner plates in front of the little wizards. .

The little wizards cheered and threw themselves into the battle to destroy the food, while Dumbledore sat on a high place smiling and looked at the little wizards who were feasting on the stage.

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

The professors were not angry either, and Professor Flitwick even joined in. Even Professor McGonagall, who was usually the strictest, was smiling.

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