Little Ginny does want to be a qualified sister, but apparently she is still in the learning stage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Casto gets along with her, occasionally calling her "sister" with bad intentions, she still blushes and feels very embarrassed.

Although the Weasleys were very enthusiastic about Castor as family, when Christmas came and they were going to visit Charlie in Romania, Casto refused as a matter of course.

After all, it's just a verbal appointment, and don't intervene when other people's families are reunited.

He was very determined to stay at the Leaky Cauldron Bar and prepare for a one-man Christmas.

.

On December 25, Castor was finally able to get a good night's sleep.

Tom wakes up Casto with his toothless smile and a cup of tea, and he goes out of his way to dress himself up as Santa Claus.

"A guest at the Weasleys," he said very respectfully, his Santa hat tilted to the side of his head, "your lunch is already on the table, and I have brought some presents." ”

"Thank you." Castor stretched and jumped straight out of bed in his pajamas. Tom slowly stepped out.

In this warm room, he was the only one left.

He rubbed his eyes and sat down at the table, staring at the roaring fire in the fireplace. The fire was happily changing into the shape of various animals, and it seemed to feel Casto's gaze and turn into a flaming eagle.

"You're really playing on your own." He sighed and turned to look out the window at the snowflakes.

Ginny followed the Weasleys to Romania, where she heard that she could ask for some tips on how to take care of her younger siblings - she had planned to stay in England with Castor, but he had heard that Charlie was a dragon trainer and strongly suggested that Ginny go and see him.

Harry stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas, with Ron. He wanted to find someone named Nicol. Lemay's profile, so Castor persuaded him to stay at the school.

"You really deserve it." He lowered his head and flicked the Christmas pudding that Tom had kindly gifted him with his spoon, but he noticed two packages on the table.

"So this is the gift?" Castor was pleasantly surprised to find that he had received a Christmas present. Although he had learned this etiquette, he had not had much experience - because almost no one had ever given him a gift.

One is a bulging large paper bag from Mrs. Weasley. When it was opened, it was a thick, bright red hand-knitted sweater and a large box of homemade fudge.

The other is a square package with a thick lilac notebook inside.

"Write down your findings and questions here. Merry Christmas!—Hermione"

Casto stared at his gift for a long moment.

He solemnly put his notebook in his suitcase, then quickly sorted out his lunch, took care of himself briefly, put on his sweater, and rushed downstairs.

"Gifts...... "Where's the interesting stuff?" he waited in front of a wall for a short time, walking into Diagon Alley with a wizarding family. ”

.

Diagon Alley at Christmas was not deserted by family reunions.

There aren't many wizards in England, which means there aren't many hours of the year – Christmas is clearly the best time to gather for a party.

Families poured into the narrow alley, filling almost every inch of the alley — unlike when Casto first arrived, and now he couldn't pick out gifts in the shop.

But he glanced at Gringotts from afar, and was glad he didn't have to go there.

Last night, Casto heard that in honor of a certain Minister of Magic, the Leaky Cauldron Bar has set up a special beer "Gamp Old Buddy", which tastes very strange, and there is a 100 Galleon reward for those who successfully drink 1 pint. He tried it curiously, and then accepted the reward in the respectful eyes of everyone. But the reward was changed to the best and free service in the Leaky Cauldron—which made old Tom look a little better.

You must know that the exchange rate between Galleon and the pound is fixed at 1:5 all year round, which is a big expense for Tom, because he never thought that anyone would actually be able to drink half a liter of this thing.

This meant that he still had a lot of gold coins in his pocket, so he didn't have to go to the more crowded Gringotts to withdraw money - just because he had a privilege didn't mean he liked it.

Casto deliberately avoided the crowds and squeezed into the sparse crowds. There was laughter everywhere, and the father held the child in one hand and the colorful paper bag in the other; The mother held a long list and sketched it with a quill; The child holds the snowflake in his hand, turns his head, and from time to time shows his star eyes in a certain direction.

He left the bustling alleyway alone and found himself at a fork in the road.

"Tumbledown Alley?" Casto's eyes lit up.

Mrs. Weasley never allowed herself to come here, and she always kept an eye on him when she came to Diagon Alley to shop. She and Ginny never succeeded in trying to slip away - she had battled twins with a pair of twins.

She also disagreed that she knew too much about Defence Against the Dark Arts. Because in her experience, to defeat dark magic, you must first understand it and contact it.

So, I've never been to this novel place.

Tumbledown Alley is different from Diagon Alley in that it is zigzag, dirty, and gloomy. Casto stepped on the snow and felt like he was heading to the abyss.

"So what?" He raised his vigilance and moved slowly. The atmosphere of joy and his life seemed to be in two worlds, far behind him.

He came to a crossroads.

He stood in the black snow.

He was dressed in a bright red sweater, like a candlelight in the abyss.

He looked around at the shops. I saw huge black spiders, shrunken human heads, and withered human hands.

No living person appeared here, except for him. He realized.

It seemed to hear his inner voice, and footsteps sounded.

Stepping on the fine snow, getting closer, louder and faster, faster and faster.

Castor turned and stared at the trail to the left. The deep road is only visible to the entrance - it is winding.

Hurry up, let me see.

He tensed his body excitedly, as if he was about to welcome a guest from afar.

Finally, it came true.

A darker shadow swooped down, and he could see the faint green eyes.

Wolf pupils.

But he was not surprised. His body had already formed a fighting stance, and he was about to embrace the guest in his arms.

However......

"Get out of the way!" A hoarse girl's voice, and he clearly saw the panicked and pained face under the cloak.

Before he could react further, the petite black shadow pounced on Casto and rolled into the shadows with him.
