After the dinner, almost everyone happily returned to their quarters, except for Hermione Granger, of course, who would not be happy if they were threatened by someone else's handle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But whether she's happy or not, it's not that Holly cares and cares.

Ron Weasley's revelation at the Christmas dinner that Harry had obtained a firebolt was what Holly was more interested in. After hearing the name of the firebolt, it became clear to Holly whose work it was. After all, there was only one person in this world who was rich and willing to spend so much money to buy Harry firebow arrows, and Holly didn't believe that the other teachers would not react when they heard the news.

Looking at Gryffindor's side again, the Harry Potter trio walked towards the Gryffindor Tower together, but Hermione walked and dragged behind, so the two boys in front had to stop and wait for her for a while, stop and go, and when the three of them returned to the common room, Harry and Ron had clearly felt that Hermione was abnormal, but all this was forgotten when they saw Professor McGonagall waiting in the common room.

"Hear Ron Weasley say at the party that you got a firebolt? McGonagall asked.

"Uh, yes," Harry responded.

"Can you take it down and show it to me?" McGonagall asked, glancing at Hermione, who was in the back of her mind, as Harry had received a gift from an unknown source, Hermione would have told her, rather than hearing Ron's big mouth and rushing over like she did today.

"Isn't there any message?Potter?including cards, or messages or something?" McGonagall took the broomstick from Harry's hand.

"Nope. Harry replied blankly.

"I think... Well, I'll have to borrow it for a while. McGonagall said, "It needs to be checked to see if it's cursed, I'm not an expert on that, of course, but Mrs. Hooch and Professor Flitwick will take it apart and inspect it." ”

"Disassembly and inspection?" Ron repeated.

"It doesn't take too long, and if we confirm it's safe, we'll give it back to you. With that, Professor McGonagall left the common room with his firebolts, leaving a dumbfounded Harry and Ron staring at each other in the living room.

"Hermione, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Hermione still standing motionless in the hall, Harry was finally relieved.

"Huh? Nothing. I'll go back and rest first. Hermione walked to the girls' dorm in a bit of a panic.

Not to mention Gryffindor, after the dinner, Holly and Erinka did not go straight back to Ravenclaw Tower, but followed Snape to his own laboratory. On the table were two potions that didn't look much different.

"Two young ladies, can you explain it to me?"

"One is a standard potion of wolf poison to teach you about your invention, and the other is an improved version of the potion of wolf poison, the masterpiece of Holly. Erinka replied that at least when it came to modifying the recipe of the potion, it would be more appropriate for her to come out and explain.

"Why?"

"Holly thinks you're a good idea, but it doesn't solve the root cause. Erinka argued.

"So you're starting to use this forbidden method of blocking the operation of magic to stop the werewolf from transforming?" Snape's voice began to grow colder.

"Actually, yes. Spending a lot of mana through potions can really limit a werewolf's mobility, but... Once a werewolf transforms under the bath of the full moon, the source of mana is the light of the full moon, which is not the same as the source of mana of the wizard. So, your idea only applies to Professor Lupin's case of hiding on his own when the full moon comes. Holly replied first. "I'm just not sure if this thing has an effect on the Animagus. And I want to make this agent into a smell agent......"

"If you're just trying to test the effect on Animagus, there's a great experiment right now. Snape said coldly.

"You're talking about Professor McGonagall? Erinka asked tentatively.

"It's not... It's an illegal Animagus, which you two saw some time ago..."

"Cialis Black!" both exclaimed at the same time, then silenced their voices for a moment.

"He's an illegitimate Animagus?" Holly asked.

"yes, otherwise how could he have escaped the Dementors and entered Hogwarts. ”

"I thought he was walking on the other side of the screaming shack. ”

"There? Maybe he would have gone before, but since Remus Lupin was at school, he wouldn't have chosen there, especially since the Screaming Shack was a big focus for the Dementors. ”

Since the Christmas dinner, Hermione has been a different person, distancing herself from Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. The two of them blocked her in the Gryffindor common room several times, but she used excuses or that excuse to prevaricate. No one knew what Erinka and Hermione had said that night, or where Hermione had gone or what she had done after sneaking out of the Gryffindor common room in the middle of the night.

After the Christmas break, the rest of the students who went home returned to school again, and it was rare to have a Christmas holiday where nothing special happened.

The Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Släczelin was held a week after the start of the school year, and Slajgerlin defeated Ravenclaw, but this was supposed to happen, after all, with Lucius Malfoy's Halo 2001, which was second only to the broom of the Fire Crossbow Arrow, Slajerin was much better than Ravenclaw in terms of hardware, not to mention that Ravenclaw itself was not good at these sports that required a certain amount of brute force. Of course, it was also because Holly didn't play, otherwise, at least Draco Malfoy would definitely not have been so easy to grab the Golden Scout under the nose of Cho Zhang. However, it was good news for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team that Holly had finally expressed his willingness to play in the next round of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, but of course, Holly's decision to play was due to Harry Potter getting his firebolt back and using it in the next match against Ravenclaw in an attempt to surprise everyone.

At breakfast on the day of the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor match, the Gryffindor Quidditch players caused a stir in the hall, with Harry Potter being protected in the middle, and the Firebolt being guarded like a treasure. Even the students of Hufflepuff and Slajelin had a slight discussion, but the rival Ravenclaw didn't seem to react, like Holly and Erinka were still drinking coffee and gesturing something in the air with their wands, and the people around them were busy discussing their recent problems. There was a calm, as if the Quidditch match that was going to take place soon had nothing to do with them. However, the corners of Holly's mouth often curled showed that they were not unconcerned about what was happening in front of them, but that they didn't think that the farce on Gryffindor's side would have any effect on them.
