The next few days were lackluster. The students discussed how to celebrate the New Year and began to pack their bags, but these had nothing to do with the members of the 'Animagus' class, who collectively chose to stay in school.
Because practicing Animagus Transformation has a considerable impact on daily learning, no one wants to waste two weeks of vacation. In the lounge, Harry and the others were still figuring out how to fight a small blade to make it obedient.
"Christmas is in two days," Hermione said irritably. .
Harry's heart pounded suddenly. "So we're about to get the mandrake blades?" he asked.
Christmas night was a full moon, which meant they had to bite the bullet and try, whether they were ready or not.
"Yes," Hermione said to a piece of parchment, "but there are two dinner parties waiting for us on the way to that little, lovely blade of grass... at this juncture! I never Feeling boring for dinner parties like this..." She rudely erased a line of notes from the paper.
Harry knew that Hermione had a fanatical preference for preparations. She had collected advice from different people in various ways these days, but none of them were foolproof. She even forced Harry to call Sirius in advance, and then Pretend to appear inadvertently, conjuring up a pre-prepared list of questions.
"Professor Slughorn still refuses to stop. I don't know what's going on this time?" He said with deep feeling.
Ron shrugged. In addition to the Christmas dinner, they had to attend a personal dinner hosted by Professor Slughorn tonight, because most of the students were going home tomorrow.
"Actually, his small party is not bad, not only good food, but also famous wizards to meet." Ron narrowed his eyes and said aftertaste: "Do you know Gwenog Jones? It is Captain of the Holyhead Harpies...you should have heard what he called me, 'Dear Mr. Weasley'...and he praised me for being young! It's true, but it sounds very Comfortable. Too bad you weren't there that time."
Unlike Ron's participation in a few slug club banquets, ha... risk, as for life and death."
"Life and death?" Harry looked at her in surprise, and exclaimed, "Hermione, you don't believe Snape's nonsense, do you?" Ron was also startled.
"Oh, I won't," said Hermione. "That would delay the normal class."
The discussion in the Animagus class was not low. According to Nick, who was almost headless, "Hogwarts has never taught Animagus so much since its establishment." As a result, this topic is not only popular among students (the four colleges' scores have dropped dramatically during this period), but even professors have also participated. So far, Professor McGonagall has devoted half of a class to explaining it. Animagus's study requirements, using the other half of the time as an example of the consequences of those over-the-top wizards in history - this part consists of horror stories, basically abridged versions of her notes; with goblin blood Shorty Professor Flitwick introduces students to an anti-eavesdropping magic
"Effective to any creature, and also prevents mosquito bites!"
Harry suspected that the spell was aimed at Rita Skeeter, whose beetle form was no longer a secret.
Professor Bagshot complied with public opinion and temporarily inserted the content of "mandatory appearance".
In addition to what Harry saw with his own eyes, he also heard Trelawney in her advanced class talking about how to use tarot cards to beware of 'ghosts', she said that she saw six legs in the crystal ball. Insects approached her. And Snape mentioned in his class to fifth graders that if it were him, he would prepare a pair of life and death water and sleep directly for a month.
Ginny told him this.
"He's doing bad things, and he's uneasy and good-hearted—everyone can see it," she said angrily.
Just as Harry was watching the time for the third time, an owl flew in through the window, snowflakes still in its feathers, and it dragged a heavy package and smashed it on Ron's head.
"Christmas present? So early?" Harry asked in surprise.
"No," said Ron, tearing open the wrapping paper, "it's Collins, didn't I tell you she's in Hogsmeade? I asked her to bring me something, and I'm free anyway... oh... "...he said, looking at the small card in a long tone.
"What's up?"
"She's going, that Carlota Pinkstone really seems to be planning to retire on Three Broomsticks," said Ron. "After all, the Ministry of Magic can't keep two Aurors going, can it?" He said. A few quills, magic erasers, socks, and other miscellaneous items were dug out from the package. Harry was about to take a closer look, but Ron stopped him.
"There's your Christmas present in here." Ron said warily.
At eight o'clock they and Neville showed up in Slughorn's office. It was completely different here, full of Christmas trees hung with icing and candied fruit for anyone to use at will, a dozen legsless tables scattered around the house, and Harry saw a man beckoning, the one closest to him beckoning. A floating table floated in front of him with loads of delicious food.
There was a brisk, melodious tune that Harry was 100% sure it was the Weird Sisters.
But the biggest difference is the number of people. Harry estimated that there were at least a hundred people at the scene, and most of them were adult wizards~www.novelhall.com~ He was stunned. Did Professor Slughorn call back all the members of the Slug Club?
These people were dressed in different clothes, moving through the office that seemed to have been cast on the Unmarked Stretch Charm. Some witches and wizards were handsome, but many were quite reserved. Harry was relieved when he heard Hermione make a half-yes. The surprise was half a moan of fright: "Mom and Dad?"
Harry and Ron hurriedly followed her line of sight, both startled, there were too many acquaintances. Not only the Grangers, Professor Slughorn seems to have invited quite a few parents of the students (especially those who can't go home for the holidays), the Weasleys, the Longbottoms, the Malfoys...Harry also saw Ernie McMillan and Cormac McLaggen, dressed in elaborate dresses and bows, cuddly sat next to a middle-aged couple who were speaking to Sirius and Amelia Burns.
"Hey, you guys, long time no see." A familiar joking voice came from behind.
Harry turned his head sharply, and the twins were looking lazily at them... It turned out to be Fred and George! The two of them looked like successful people, with one hand in their pocket and the other holding a goblet, with a smile on their lips.
It's like replicating it with a mirror.
"Looking at your expressions, no one seems to tell you? Oh, these parents are really bad..."**
