"Christmas." Phyllis said to Professor Flitwick next to her, "I've always thought it was fantastical for wizards to have this kind of holiday. ”

Professor Flitwick, who was of short stature, descended the stairs with some difficulty, and said, "Why do you say that? ”

"Christmas is a Christian holiday, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and it has nothing to do with us unbelieving shamans," Phyllis said. ”

(Christmas was originally the Saturnalia festival for the ancient Romans to welcome the new year, which had nothing to do with Christianity, and later became the most important holiday of Christianity in the process of civilization integration.) It's enough for everyone to know about it, so I won't go into details here. ）

Phyllis chuckled and said, "The wizard population is still too small to support a truly civilized society. ”

The total population of wizards in England has always been maintained in the thousands, which is barely enough as a minority, but it is not enough to support an independent civilization system. Because of this, although there is a relatively clear separation between wizards and ordinary people in life, in fact, the wizarding world is greatly influenced by the world of ordinary people, especially in terms of thought.

Flitwick thought for a moment and said, "But we have to have a day to celebrate the New Year, right?" I think Christmas is pretty good. ”

Equally typical Ravenclaw, with the same thirst for knowledge and curiosity about the unknown, Flitwick prefers to study all kinds of spells. In contrast, Phyllis, including Carl, is more concerned with the human aspect.

Seeing that Flitwick gave such a "simple" reason, Phyllis didn't say much, and Knowledge laughed and said, "Indeed, Christmas is quite appropriate. ”

As the two walked into the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, they saw several students confronting each other: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, who Phyllis was more familiar with, and Draco Malfoy of the Malfoy family, and several of his henchmen. Also, there's a professor working on this, Professor Snape.

The crisp sound of the heels hitting the floor was conspicuous in the quiet environment, and because of the angle, Snape was the first to see Phyllis, and he subconsciously frowned.

When Phyllis first entered Hogwarts, she was just a child who didn't know anything, she was very studious, she buried herself in the library all day, and she was a typical Ravenclaw. But slowly, Snape sensed that something was wrong, and he tried to reminding Phyllis, but his mental power seemed to hit the stone wall of the castle, and he couldn't penetrate it at all. This shows that Phyllis has extremely strong mental strength and a very closed heart.

Snape knew very well how terrible such people were. For this reason, he also talked to Headmaster Dumbledore, making it clear that it is definitely a big hidden danger for someone like Phyllis Kate to stay at Hogwarts.

However, Dumbledore said in a slow tone at the time, "Miss Kate was hurt by her childhood experiences, and this hurt had some effect on her soul, but it didn't necessarily make her a loveless person...... Severus, I can't make the same mistake twice. ”

Phyllis also saw Snape at first sight, a smile curled into the corners of her mouth, and she said in a cold voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Among the students present, Hermione and Phyllis were the most familiar, and when she saw Professor Kate coming, she hurriedly said, "Professor, Malfoy just insulted Ron's family. ”

Phyllis looked at Draco with a pair of pure black eyes and said, "Mr. Malfoy, is that so?" ”

Draco and Phyllis looked at each other for a moment, then lowered their heads. On the one hand, it was because Phyllis's pure eyes were really terrifying, and on the other hand, before entering the school, his father had warned Draco that some people could not be easily provoked.

Obviously, Phyllis is not the kind to be easily provoked.
