During festivals or celebrations, the Hogwarts dinner is always much more sumptuous than usual, and Christmas is no exception, although many students have gone home, but the students who remain are together and do not have to worry about the division of houses, which is also very lively.

"Hey, Charles, why aren't you going back this Christmas?"

Although he had to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas, Harry was not sad, but very happy, but he wondered why Charles hadn't returned.

Charles was munching on the pork knuckle rice in front of him, and Ron was looking curiously at what he was eating: "Charles! Why do you have different meals than we do? ”

"Oh! It's a new dish I recommend to the kitchen, but a lot of people don't like it, so if you want it, just knock on the table and say, 'Please bring me a pork knuckle rice,' and remember to have an empty plate in front of you. ”

Ron tapped on the table with great interest and said aloud, "Please bring me a pork knuckle rice." ”

Well, just like any other food, a pork knuckle rice appeared on Ron's plate, and he took a tentative bite with his spoon, and was very surprised, "I think it tastes great, I think my dad will like it." ”

Charles laughs, "It's easy, I can tell you how to do it and share it with your family when you come home this year." ”

Then he looked at Harry and said helplessly, "Because my parents took the whole family on a trip to Corsica, they left a week ago, and my father got a big prize this year, so they have to play there for a month, so I have to stay at school." ”

"Oh, my poor neighbor," Harry made a rare wink-wrinkling expression, then looked at Penelope next to Charles, and asked curiously, "Who is this?" ”

Penelope was very elegant cutting the pie with a knife and fork, and when he saw Harry looking at him curiously, he replied quietly, "I'm Penelope Crivat, Charles's friend." ”

"Girlfriend," Charles emphasized, and Penelope gave him a gentle look, her long brown hair falling around her shoulders for both Harry and Ron to look at.

The two young guys reacted quickly, blushing and lowering their heads, Charles laughed, suddenly remembered something, and said to Harry, "Hey, Harry, did you buy the glitter stone from Kenneth?" ”

"Huh? Yes? Oh, yes. Harry nodded.

Charles covered his forehead helplessly, "That guy...... I've already told him not to sell you anything, and you shouldn't take money! ”

"It's all right, Charles," Harry explained in the tone of a younger brother speaking to his older brother, "it's very delicately made, and Kenneth discounted it!" ”

"Hell...... him," Charles scolded, "I'm going to give you the money back." ”

"Nope! Charles, you don't have to, I'm definitely not going to accept it! Harry shook his head firmly.

"Okay, okay...... Well, so be it, I'm going to Ireland this summer, and I've already made an appointment with Penelope and Savani, so you can come with us then, only for six days, not for long. ”

"Great!" Harry readily agreed.

"Okay, I'm full." Charles pushed the plate away and said with a smile: "Have a good holiday, Penelope and I are going to the library." ”

"God, you guys are going to the library during the Christmas break? You don't have to go there for a date, do you? Ron looked at Charles in shock.

Charles laughed, "Who said we were going on a date?" Penelope and I were going to borrow some books related to ancient magic texts, and she was having a hard time in her ancient magic language class. ”

Penelope put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin, and gently followed Charles away, Ron looked at the two with envy, and bumped his buddy with his arm: "It's good, I also want to find such a gentle girlfriend." ”

"Oh, how's Hermione? I think she's very gentle. Harry suggested.

Ron frowned suddenly, "Hmm...... Miss 'Know-it-all' is very gentle?" Why don't I feel this way. ”

……

"There are many neglected treasures hidden in ancient documents, including the writings of ancient people, and there have been many shamans who have been dedicated to excavating the precious treasures left by these ancestors."

In a corner of the library, Penelope sat next to Charles, as he pointed to an old book in front of him.

It was almost empty, and apart from Mrs. Pince and the two of them, there were no more than three students who came to read at Christmas, two of whom were Ravenclaw, except that Penelope and Charles did not know much of it.
