Over the course of a month or so, Ryan began to study the four artifacts he had brought out of the mummy world, and on the other hand, he continued to teach the members of the book club to learn magic, and after a month of study, everyone learned the four magics of earth thorns, fireballs, wind darts, and water mist. The first three can be used to attack, while the last one can form a large area of fog to obscure the enemy's view.

"Why don't we teach you some defensive magic like the Iron Charm?" Hermione couldn't help but ask at the end of the last party before Christmas.

"Please, we can't measure people's abilities by our magic level. Ryan looked helpless. "We have enough magic and knowledge of magic to conjure up shields that can block the Requisition Curse. Just like Harry told us Dumbledore did when he fought the Mysterio in the halls of the Ministry of Magic. But our classmates can't do that, and the magic I teach them is certainly not the most powerful and complex, but the most suitable set of magic for their current state. ”

"A set of magic?" Hermione asked curiously, "You only taught four magics, where can you tell that this is a set of magic? Don't tell me that you made up a set of such statements because you have the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind." ”

"There's a reason for that. Ryan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and then quickly straightened out when he noticed Hermione's teasing gaze at him. "But that's only a secondary reason, and I wouldn't name it because it's just good. You see, the fireball spell will explode and burn, it is a kind of area attack magic, the wind dart is the smallest, the fastest attack speed, and it is also very stealthy, and it is a good single attack magic. The Ground Spike can change the terrain and be used for sneak attacks, which can be seen as a magic used to limit enemies. The last water mist spell can form a large area of fog to obscure the enemy's view and absorb the voices of people in the fog, which can be used to hide themselves or escape. ”

"So, you have a point in saying that you're teaching a set of magic. Hermione nodded. "It's great that these spells are simple, but they meet most of the needs of combat. ”

"Of course, it's not false that I've been through so many battles. Ryan looked proud. "So naturally I will choose the path that is best for everyone. ”

In the last days before Christmas, it snowed for several days, and the snow covered the world outside the castle, turning everything white, and even the castle window lattices were iced.

Even though he had become a professor, Hagrid was still alone in carrying the twelve Christmas trees that were indispensable in the auditorium each year, the railings of the stairs were wrapped in holly and metal foil, the helmets of his armor were flickering with bright candles, and the hallways were hung with bunches of mistletoe at intervals.

Since the last year's battle at the Ministry of Magic had become well-known, there were always a lot of girls gathered under the mistletoe waiting for Harry to pass by alone. Thankfully, Harry's frequent night trips had given him a thorough understanding of the secret passages in the castle, and he was able to navigate the mistletoe route between classes where he was the only one with less difficulty.

Ginny loved and hated the current situation, she hated the girls who saw Harry like a hungry wolf found meat, but was glad that Harry had spent more time with her.

And Ron laughed every time he saw Harry's predicament, he must have been a little jealous when he was a single dog before, but now he was just happy to look at Harry's depressed face.

Ryan also discovered at this time that Lavender Brown, although occasionally a little nervous, was actually a very intelligent girl. For example, recently Ryan found that this girl did not make out with Ron everywhere like in the original text, like a pair of eels glued together, but seemed very reserved. However, Hermione told Ryan that her roommate was much more outgoing when he was dating Ron alone.

"I think there's a lot of sensitivity and uneasiness hidden under her exuberant and bold appearance, so she's trying to adapt to Ron's new role as girlfriend, such as trying to restrain herself in non-personal situations to avoid upsetting those of us who have a better relationship with Ron. On the way to the library to do their homework, Hermione said to Ryan.

Towards the end of their homework, the two of them discussed Slughorn's Christmas party. Because both of them had received invitations before.

"Being asked to be dressed in formal attire meant I had to wear high heels. It is not known why wizards learned this popular style of Muggles. It makes my feet hurt every time I go back from this kind of formal gathering. ”

"It's okay, I'll get you a bottle of potion today, and after the party, you go back to the dormitory and wipe it on your foot to make sure you don't hurt right away." Ryan reassured.

But in any case, Christmas is still here despite everyone's expectations. Especially now, when the overall environment has become more and more tense recently, the school has tried to make the banquet more sumptuous before the Christmas holiday, hoping to let everyone relax.

Naturally, such an evening would not disappoint everyone who remained at the school, and some gifts were placed under the twelve Christmas trees in the auditorium. Every student in school will receive one.

When the banquet began, Ryan chatted with the surrounding classmates, only to find that the students who planned to stay in school during the holidays this year were second only to the year when the fourth grade held the prom, because while some parents chose to leave the UK with their children, another part of the parents thought that Hogwarts Castle was the safest place in Britain in this situation, and hoped that the children could stay here as much as possible.

After Professor Dumbledore had spent less than three minutes making his pre-Christmas holiday wishes, some small shows were brought to the stage. Ryan also saw the Hogwarts choir performed in the film that had been cut from the movie.

They sang the song "Jingle Bells", and the little Professor Flitwick stood in front of everyone in a tuxedo with a black bow tie and his hands wide open, the only regret was that because the song was more cheerful, each choir member just held a small copper bell and beat the beat, and there was no toad harmony.

After that, the rich final meal was a feast for every little wizard, but it was a bit torture for the students who were going to Slughorn's evening later, because they couldn't eat so much that they would be rude in front of many celebrities. This is especially true for girls who wear complicated dresses and makeup, and Ryan sees that Ginny has to give up nibbling on chicken drumsticks like her brother Ron did because of the makeup on her face, and instead can only eat food that can be cut into small pieces with a knife.

Unlike Ryan, who was strictly forbidden to wear makeup in secondary school, in the UK, it is even a form of etiquette, and it is even considered rude if you don't wear makeup when attending an important party. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to wear heavy makeup, as long as you draw it to suit your party.

As it approached eight o'clock, Ryan pulled Hermione off the table to go to Slughorn's party, when Harry, Ginny, and the others who had been invited got up and left the auditorium.

"Hey, have fun. Ron said vaguely, as his mouth was full of roast turkey meat,

"The same goes for you. Ryan waved goodbye to Ron and left the auditorium.
