December brought strong winds, rain and snow to Hogwarts. Although the castle is always warm in winter, the common room in Ravenclaw is always warm and spring-like. Thanks to the exemption of Triwizard Tournament participants, Silver can comfortably occupy a sand by himself and then lie down and watch his classmates be tormented by their work.
"Hey, Jack, I don't think it's fair at all!, why are you exempt from homework and still be exempt from the final exam!" muttered Michael, who accidentally spilled ink on his near-finished ancient script, destroying the inscription that he had carefully copied after two hours.
"Oh, no!!" Michael cried out, "I don't want to paint for another two hours!"
"Michael, I warned you a long time ago not to desert when doing ancient magic homework. Silver sat up lazily from the sand, "While you envy my immunity, you'd better think I'm risking my life in the Triwizard Tournament, uh, be careful, there's something wrong with your magic." ”
"What?" said Michael Corner, leaning his face closer to the oak paper on which the script was written, to take a closer look.
"Bang. The oak paper exploded, blackening Michael Corner's face.
"Well, I was just about to say that you accidentally constructed an explosive circuit magic text just now. Silver looked innocent.
The other students in the common room couldn't help but laugh when they saw Michael's embarrassment.
"Damn. Michael Corner felt embarrassed, especially when one of the people he was laughing at was Cho Chang, whom he had a long-time crush on.
He found a guy to.
"Antonin, you're still embarrassed to laugh! Who stupidly proposed to open the golden egg last time, but he was so frightened by the screams of the female ghost that he almost peed his pants. ”
"Michael, I think you were scared out of your mind. Antonin, of course, would not budge, and his peripheral vision also glanced at a short third-year girl in light brown.
"That's enough, what are you like like a rooster of love now. Silver rolled his eyes indecently, "Isn't it just a Christmas ball, and even if I can't find a dance partner, I won't laugh at you." ”
"Absolutely not!" shouted Michael and Antonin together, "it's the greatest insult to us that you think so!"
"Okay, okay, then I wish you all the best of luck finding a suitable dance partner. I don't have time to make small talk with you, but Autumn is waving at me, as if something is looking for me. ”
"Oh shit, why can't good things be my turn. Michael said in a sour tone.

Since defeating the Hungarian Tree Hornet, Harry feels that his life has been much better. What pleased him the most was that Ron reconciled with him.
In addition, there were far fewer people in the hallways pointing at him and gossiping about him, although the Slytherins would still shout that there was only one Champion at Hogwarts, and imitate Harry's sudden fall after being injured. The gossip is still there, but overall it's much better – at least there are fewer clashes in the hallways.
The only thing that made Harry uncomfortable was that the number of badges in support of Jack Silver had not decreased, but increased.
In Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall announced that the upcoming Balls were coming to Harry, and as a warrior, he had to find a dance partner, but Harry hadn't decided who to turn to.
Ron reminded him that there would be girls who would come and ask to be his dance partners, and that the ones who could come to the door would either be taller than him or that they were good-looking, uh, not pretty, and Harry refused them without even thinking about it. There were no girls to harass him now, but Harry's dance partner was gone.
Rita Skeeter featured an article in the Daily Prophet about Harry Potter to build hype. The article is full of inspirational anecdotes and touching details: for example, in the Triwizard Tournament for the Golden Egg, Rita Skeeter takes the other three warriors' watches past and devotes an entire page to telling how good his flying skills are and how he fought to get injured to capture the Golden Egg. Many students suspect that Rita Skeeter has taken Harry's gold gallons. But soon Rita Skeeter's second report dispelled their suspicions.
Rita Skeeter portrays Harry Potter as a guy with ulterior motives for his best friend's sister. The article reads:
"Apparently, Harry Potter, the champion of Hogwarts, had the same troubles as other adolescent boys, his best friend's sister was so obsessively in love with her, and Harry was so obsessed with the girl. So we have to make a conjecture, was Ron Weasley's friendship with Harry Potter predestined at 9 and 3/4 train station, when Harry and Ginny first met?"
However, most people didn't believe Rita Skeeter this time, because no one believed that Harry Potter would be precocious enough to do so, but the report certainly gave the Slytherins a lot of fun.
"Hey, Potter, did I hear you're going to dance with your little bride?"
"I'm so sad for Weasley that his best friend actually had thoughts about his sister. ”
Thankfully, Ron trusted Harry so much that Harry wouldn't be embarrassed, but Ginny didn't dare to look at him now - she would run away with a red face when she saw him. According to Ron, Ginny was shy and planned to go back to the Burrow for Christmas.
The Hogwarts students and pupils continued to impress Beauxbatons and Durmstrang guests**, and they seemed determined to bring out the best of the castle this Christmas - the school was decorated with lights, and Harry had never seen such beautiful decorations since he had entered.
The handrails of the marble staircase are covered with everlasting icicles, and the twelve Christmas trees that are customary in the auditorium are adorned with all sorts of knick-knacks, from sparkling holly to live golden owls chirping incessantly. The armor was enchanted, and whenever someone passed by, they would sing Christmas carols. It's very funny to hear an empty helmet sing "Oh, come on, you pious people," and that's funny. Armor only knows half of the lyrics, and the janitor Filch has had to drag Peeves out of his armor several times, because Peeves is hiding inside, and when he can't sing in armor, he makes up some lyrics to fill in, all of which are very rough and ugly.
This also made Harry even more anxious, he didn't have a clue about the choice of dance partners, and now in the entire Gryffindor, except for a very small number of people who wanted to go home, only he, Ron, and Neville had not found a dance partner.
