Chapter 26: Christmas

Harry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Potter jumped up and down in the castle to "watch" Snape and didn't mention him, and Darren couldn't care about him anymore, because Christmas was here!

In anticipation of the festive season, the professors of the school worked together to decorate the castle, and it must be said that magic had an unrivaled advantage in this regard, relying on the levitation charm, even Professor Flitwick was able to hang the castle walls with ribbons of weeping flowers composed of holly and mistletoe, and also used his wand to spray strings of golden bubbles to decorate the branches of the Christmas tree.

Speaking of Christmas trees, Hagrid dragged a full dozen fir trees from the Forbidden Forest in one go, and through the magic of the professors, these trees were transformed into gorgeous, some with shiny Xiaoice pillars, others with hundreds of candles.

Looking at the newly decorated Hogwarts, Darren was not sad at all that he had to spend Christmas at school, to be honest, he wanted to persuade Hermione to stay, because this kind of wonder in the castle, except for Hogwarts, is the Malfoy family, I'm afraid it can't be made, at least his family doesn't have such a big castle.

However, what puzzled Darren was why did the wizard celebrate Christmas?

Christmas as the legendary nativity of Jesus, although with the strength of Western culture, and popular all over the world, but in the final analysis, this is a religious holiday, for wizards, there is no more scornful than religion, because the mysticism promoted by religion is no secret to them, even if there is Jesus and God, I am afraid that wizards will regard them as powerful wizards, just like Merlin.

In fact, as he studied at Hogwarts, Darren had a lot of ideas about many legends. For example, in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus breaks five loaves of bread and two fish and divides them for about 5,000 people.

Although it is impossible to conjure food out of nothing according to the "Basic Transformation Law of Gamp", it is not impossible to do it if you are prepared, such as the Traceless Stretching Spell, which can fully meet the requirements and be cast on the cake......

As groups of students left the school, the castle became empty, but Fred and George stayed behind and Darren could continue to work on the PA system with them, and at the end of the day, when they returned to the Gryffindor common room, they happened to see Harry and Ron playing wizarding chess.

The so-called wizard chess, in Darren's view, is actually just a chess game where the chess pieces can move, and even the rules are the same, which is a bit less original than Quidditch.

However, there is a difference, that is, the chess pieces will definitely not speak, because Ron is obviously very good at wizarding chess, and three moves and five divisions will sweep Harry's chess pieces away, making his chess pieces complain, "Don't send me there, don't you see his horse, send him, it doesn't matter if he sacrifices......"

"Ron is a good chess player, your dad must be good at chess. ”

Hearing Darren's words, Fred and George looked at each other and said, "That's not it, in fact, only grandpa can play chess in our family, and neither of us can play chess." ”

"Your grandpa was particularly fond of Ron?"

"Perhaps, Ron was very busy at home when he was a child, and only his grandfather had time to take care of him, maybe he taught him at that time. ”

……

The next day, on Christmas morning, when Darren opened his eyes, he found two packages at the foot of his bed, which were the first Christmas gifts he had received in this world.

"Merry Christmas. Seeing that Harry and Ron were still lying on the bed, Darren muttered and got out of bed and came to the package.

Darren first picked up the larger package, which was wrapped in brown paper, with "Hagrid to Darren" written on it, looking at the words on it, Darren felt a burst of heat in his heart, and he stopped for a while before tearing the package.

Inside the package was a fur cloak, Darren put it on and tried it, the size was just right, I didn't think that Hagrid's hands-on ability was quite strong, but with his size, it was estimated that this was a basic skill in daily life.

Inside the second package, it was Hermione's, and after opening the package, a book lay quietly inside, which was quite in line with Hermione's image.

At this point, Harry and Ron both got up and unwrapped their gifts, and as expected, Harry received his father's cloak of invisibility.

Darren was still very curious about the invisibility cloak, which was said to be one of the three pieces of the Deathly Hallows, and also leaned over, and saw that there was a pile of liquid-like, silver-gray things in front of Harry, still shining, and at Ron's suggestion, Harry draped the invisibility cloak over himself.

With Harry's movements, the part of him covered by the invisibility cloak disappeared instantly, leaving only Harry's head hanging in midair, and when he pulled the invisibility cloak on top of his head, Harry disappeared from Darren's eyes!

But before Darren could take a closer look at the Cloak of Invisibility, the door to the dormitory was slammed open, and brothers Fred and George, shouting "Merry Christmas!" , rushed in, there were these two living treasures, and the room was immediately lively.

When the Christmas wake-up session was finally over, a few people came to the dining room, where a sumptuous Christmas feast was ready, and there were a hundred roast turkeys on the table, piled up like a hill, and plates of roasted meat, boiled potatoes, and all kinds of delicious sausages, all of which stirred people's stomachs.

In addition to this, there are also large piles of wizard colored packets, and when these wonderful colored bag firecrackers are activated, they will make a cannon-like explosion and at the same time emit a puff of blue smoke.

It seems that Fred and George are very fond of the fireworks and stay there and mumble endlessly, probably starting to work on magic items from this time.

On this day, even the professors showed their usual invisible side, and at the guest of honor, Dumbledore replaced his pointed wizarding hat with a female hat decorated with flowers, and Professor Flitwick had just told him a joke, and he laughed happily. Hagrid's face grew redder and redder as she drank cup after glass of wine, and finally kissed Professor McGonagall on the cheek, and Professor McGonagall giggled and blushed, her high black top hat tilted to the side.

At the dinner table, the turkey was followed by a fiery Christmas pudding, and Darren saw Percy covering his face in pain, as the piece of pudding he had just put in his mouth was wrapped in a crescent-shaped piece of silver, which almost shattered his teeth.

After a long day of playing, by the time he went to bed at night, Darren was already tired to death, especially since he ate too much at night, after all, it was rare to relax, and it was not five minutes before he climbed into bed and fell asleep.
