HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 42 Christmas (Thanks to Zhenjiu's)

The Hufflepuff Society for the Study of Magic is off to a very good start.

Jon sat on the seat, looked at Professor Sprout standing on the podium, and suddenly felt that this scene was like a report for a certain magical achievement.

Jon had participated in many academic lectures before, and they all sat down and looked at the people who were giving lectures on the podium, just like now.

Professor Sprout has the demeanor of a great magician. She usually gives lessons to everyone in the greenhouse. Standing on the podium, she does not hide her preference for Hufflepuff students. She even told the audience very clearly Hufflepuff students - as long as they perform well enough, she will not be stingy about giving points to her house.

This made the students who participated in the Magic Research Society very excited. Professor Sprout gave them the illusion that they were some kind of scholar, so each of them tried to show a serious expression—as if they were attending United Nations Youth Congress.

Among them, Stephen and Sculley, who were sitting next to Jon, were the funniest. Fren had at least watched the news on TV, so it was not against the law to imitate the gestures of those politicians.

This large classroom immediately became the public study room of Hufflepuff College. Professor Sprout cast a large-scale temperature control magic in this classroom, making the temperature of the study room as warm as a greenhouse. The Hufflepuff common room is just outside the door, so students don't have to worry too much.

Almost all the Hufflepuff students have joined this club, especially the senior students represented by the sixth and seventh graders are the most active—they really want to win a house cup before graduation.

The students in the lower grades were not far behind, and the advanced magic displayed by the students in the higher grades in the study room made them quite interested in magic.

However, there are not many students who usually appear in the self-study room. After all, clubs are not courses, nor do clubs need fixed time activities. Clubs are relatively more mobile.

Except for a big meeting every Saturday night where everyone will present their new discoveries or some fantastic ideas, everyone is free at other times.

Jon and Stephen always do their homework in the self-study room, where they can consult with students from other grades at any time. Everyone consciously maintains the habit of not making loud noises, and will not disturb each other.

With the support of Jon, Stephen also showed everyone the improved fluorescent spell at the meeting on the Saturday before Christmas. This low-level spell has no improved effect after being improved, but it is more suitable for lower grade students. up.

Professor Sprout was very happy with Stephen, the first student who made an innovation. After signaling Stephen to teach everyone this improved spell, she added fifteen points to Hufflepuff, five points to the spell, very Kudos to Steven for his innovative spirit.

This made the students very excited.

...

With Christmas fast approaching, everyone can't wait for the holidays.

Although the Hufflepuff common room had a roaring fire, the drafty corridors were bitterly cold, and the windows of the classrooms rattled with the bitter wind.

Christmas is on a Tuesday, so there is still class on Monday.

The last class on Monday was Snape's Potions class. This is really not good news. Professor Snape's class was held in the underground classroom. The low temperature caused a white mist to form in front of them, so they had to get as close as possible. their hot cauldron.

Fortunately, Professor Snape's expressionless face finally softened a little on Christmas Eve. Jon even saw the professor smile a little, and he found that Professor Snape actually looked pretty when he smiled. It's just that he laughed for so short a time that Jon thought he was dazzled.

With the end of the last potions lesson, the Christmas holidays began.

Early the next morning, Jon and his three roommates came to the station in a carriage. Bella, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, finally remembered his good brother during the holiday and insisted on sitting in a compartment with the four little boys Inside, there was also a little Ravenclaw first-year girl as a gift.

Marietta Ackmore, the informer in Jon's memory.

At this time, the little girl hadn't become the later witch who broke her oath. She looked a little shy, but she was also a very beautiful little girl.

Stephen was the most cheerful of the four, and chatted with Bella in a few words. Fren and Sculley said this from left to right, and Marietta occasionally interjected shyly, Joe En is also happy to be free.

His small suitcase contained portraits and materials for the magic circle, so he had to be careful, lest a student's parent discover the unusual magic fluctuations in his suitcase at the station.

Stealing from Hogwarts seems like a big crime.

In the afternoon, the train finally stopped at King's Cross station.

The students who changed into casual clothes were about to leave platform 9 and three quarters. Fortunately, many students chose to stay in school during the holidays, otherwise there would be more people here.

Small streams of people passed quietly by the wall. Jon and the others mixed in the crowd without attracting the attention of others. When they reached the station gate, the six people separated and went to find their parents.

"Isn't uncle here?"

Bella carried the suitcase and stood at the gate of the station with Jon, looking for Mr. Smith.

"I told him that it could be a little later. He has a class today. To compensate us, he decided to treat us to McDonald's."

Jon raised the envelope in his hand, which contained several pounds.

"Oh? It's a surprise not to be able to go back immediately."

Even though he said so, there was no surprise in Bella's voice, and Jon even heard a little smile: "Let's wait in McDonald's right now, it's too cold outside."

Mr. Smith gave Jon enough money, and while waiting to pick up the meal, Jon also ran to the nearby bookstore to buy two anthologies of medieval literature.

"What are you buying this for?"

Bella flipped through the book while drinking Coke, and then put the book back in Jon's hand: "Are you going to be a reporter for the Daily Prophet?"

Hearing the reporter, Jon thought about the image of Rita Skeeter in his memory, and shook his head decisively.

He has no interest in Western reporters at all, he is a magician, not a magician.

Especially in the case of the old lady in the UK.

He was about to speak when he heard his father's voice from the door.

"Hi, my dear son, Merry Christmas."
