Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

Dumbledore eventually agreed to Lin Yu's request.

At the same time, Dumbledore told Lin Yu, "Actually, long before you came to Hogwarts, after receiving your reply, I had already had the Ministry of Magic create an identity for you. After all, you've already been registered at Hogwarts. Since you want an identity that allows you to move around in England, it's not difficult. Just have the Ministry of Magic issue you a certificate, and England will register you."

Actually, some people in the British upper echelons know about things concerning the magical world.

There is also a certain connection between the Minister of Magic and the Prime Minister.

Even in the sixth novel, it is explicitly mentioned that the British Prime Minister was protected by the Ministry of Magic to prevent Voldemort's influence from infiltrating the world of ordinary people.

Therefore, when one reaches a certain level of understanding, one will know many secrets.

Ordinary people are the most ignorant.

So for Dumbledore, it was a trivial matter that anyone could easily handle.

The question now is, does Lin Yu really want to become a British citizen?

Actually, this isn't really a problem.

Lin Yu is not from this world; his family lives in another world.

Besides, even if he wanted to return to China, he didn't have any identification.

He is an unregistered person in this world.

He wasn't born into this world.

So he chose to give Hermione British citizenship without any hesitation, since they would ascend to heaven one day and leave this world.

Why would anyone care about nationality?

If one day he really has the chance, he will take Hermione back to his world and then take her home, back to his real home.

After asking Dumbledore for help, Lin Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He also shared the good news with Hermione, who was happy for him.

Moreover, this way, they can register their marriage not only with the Ministry of Magic but also in England.

However, it's too early to think about marriage now.

After all, they are not old enough yet.

Time slipped away again, and before we knew it, it was the end of December.

During this period, two more Quidditch matches were played: Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw and Slytherin vs. Hufflepuff.

Because Christmas is approaching, Quidditch will be suspended and will resume after Christmas.

The next match will be Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw.

After all, Hogwarts is a school, so Quidditch matches aren't played that frequently.

In addition, Lin Yu has accumulated a large number of spirit stones by completing system tasks in the past two months.

Among them, he had already accumulated 500,000 low-grade spirit stones and 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

Unfortunately, these were not enough for him and Hermione to advance to a higher level.

Of course, there were also the four drops of spiritual liquid given by the Qiankun Creation Bottle.

In the morning, during the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall specifically reminded the children: "The holiday starts tomorrow. Students who haven't registered to stay at school for the holiday, don't forget to come and register with me."

Today is Monday, December 23rd.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and Hogwarts will be on a 15-day holiday.

As a fully enclosed magical school, Hogwarts has three holidays each academic year: summer vacation, Christmas, and Easter.

Although there are celebrations for Halloween, there is no holiday.

Easter holidays are usually two weeks long, or about fourteen days.

After the transformation class ended, the children walked out of the classroom one by one.

They only have two classes today: a transfiguration class in the morning and a herbalism class in the afternoon.

Then they can go back and prepare their things for going home.

"Lin Yu, Harry and I are planning to stay at school, as are Fred and George, and of course Percy. What about you?" Ron asked Lin Yu about his plans.

It turned out that Mrs. Weasley was sending a message to her children, because the Weasleys' second son, Charlie Weasley, was graduating this year and going to Romania to work on research on dragons, so the Weasleys planned to visit him.

As a result, several children at the school were left homeless.

From Percy to the twins, and then to Ron, they all had to stay at school for the holidays.

Lin Yu smiled and looked at Hermione, saying, "I'm planning to go home with Hermione, of course, to her house."

Hermione tilted her head and said with a charming smile, "My mom and dad will definitely welcome you."

After all, they will be a family in the future.

The two looked at each other, their eyes seeing only each other.

"That's enough, you two are sticking to each other way," Lavender complained irritably as she deliberately walked between them. "Give us a second glance too."

The others immediately burst into laughter.

"We can go together," Simon and Dean invited Lin Yu, as they were also going home for the holiday.

Of course, there was also Neville, but he seemed a little hesitant, stammering, "Can I come with you too?"

"Of course," Lin Yu said generously, "After all, there's only one train, so of course we can travel together."

Just kidding, even if you don't want to travel together, there's no second train.

Fortunately, they didn't need to buy tickets in advance; after so many years, Hogwarts tradition had become commonplace.

A train will come to pick them up tomorrow.

However, at noon, they ran into Draco again in the restaurant, and unsurprisingly, the kid came looking for trouble once more.

"I really feel sorry for those people," Draco said loudly from his Slytherin seat. "They have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because their families don't want them."

He did it on purpose, and he wanted everyone to hear it.

His henchmen, Crabbe, Gore, and Pansy Parkinson, also chuckled politely.

They were still smiling at Harry and the others, especially Lin Yu.

"By the way, you're an orphan," Draco finally said to Lin Yu, making it clear.

Lin Yu stood up, and without thinking, took out his wand and pointed it forward: "Petrify them all, you lot, smash them."

No one expected him to make a move, and even fewer expected him to use magic.

So Draco and the others froze and fell to the ground.

"By Merlin, what have you done?" Snape roared as he charged from the teachers' seat.

He first checked on Draco and the others, and found that they were only paralyzed and stiff because of the spell, but their senses were still intact. They would be fine once the spell's effect ended.

Snape breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up and said fiercely, "Lin Yu, you really dared to do this, using such a vicious curse on your own classmate? I'm deducting fifteen points from your score. No, twenty."

Lin Yu laughed in exasperation: "Professor Snape, I heard you also had a terrible family background? So what about you? Did your mother stop loving you? Or did your father abandon you?"

"What did you say?" Snape's face darkened further; it was a past he couldn't bear to recall.

(PS: From the descriptions in the novel, we know that Snape's family background was not good. His parents often quarreled, and he was not loved by them. He wore jeans that were too short, a large and long, worn-out coat that looked like an adult's, and a strangely shaped shirt that resembled maternity wear. He was also described as having a sallow complexion, being short, and having a thin physique. He was also a malnourished child.)

Lin Yu said seriously, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you, Professor Snape. If you are going to punish me, can I also make jokes about your family and your parents? They deserve it."

Snape remained silent.
