Before you know it, it's the middle of December. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn a few days, it's the annual Christmas.

People who live in the world will attribute everything they cannot understand to the gods, and thus give birth to faith in God and other religions.

However, wizards who live in the wizarding world never do that, and if they find something they don't understand, they will only come up with the idea of 'is this new magic', and then study the new situation**.

In other words, wizards are actually atheists.

They don't believe in God at all, so how much more meaning does Christmas commemorate God's birth mean to wizards?

The Hogwarts schedule is a direct reflection of this - on Christmas Day, students will attend classes as usual, and there will be no special activities scheduled after school.

"Alas, I thought Christmas would be a holiday~." Surrounded by a thick blanket and nestled in front of the fireplace, Hermione felt a sense of laziness just like Alice, the black cat lying on her lap.

Every Christmas is spent with her family, but this year she can't go home, and for the first time, little Hermione is a little uncomfortable. Seeing that the day was coming, little Hermione's heart wanted to stay with the familiar elders more and more, and wanted to feel the warmth of the family, so in the past few days, every afternoon after class, she always ran to Chu Xiaobai's hut, and stayed until the moment before she had to return to the dormitory, and then she would reluctantly leave.

"Here, be careful of scalding~." Handing Hermione a cup of freshly boiled sweet milk, Chu Xiaobai sat on another soft chair opposite her: "Anyway, it's just a few days late, after all, Christmas and New Year are not separated by a few days, and there will be a holiday at that time." ”

"Whew~~~." The hot sweet milk was filled with some soul solution, and after drinking it, little Hermione felt warm from body to soul.

"Hermione, why are you alone today? Harry and Ron: What about them? ”

"They're getting themselves in trouble." Hermione crooked the corners of her mouth, and a hint of irritation appeared on her originally pleasant little face: "Some time ago, Harry kept telling us that he had found traces of 'that person', and that he himself had been targeted ....... ”

Hearing Hermione's words, although Chu Xiaobai didn't get up, he had already secretly cheered up. Not so long ago, he was still wondering about Voldemort's sudden disappearance, but now, he may be able to get some clues from Hermione's words, and then grasp the development of the 'plot' anew.

While patiently listening to Hermione's complaints, he asked a question or two from time to time, and after a while, Chu Xiaobai got some information from Hermione's mouth.

Since that chance encounter in the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort, or Professor Quirrell, has indeed been honestly quiet for a while. It wasn't until two weeks ago, the day of the Quidditch tournament, that he made another move - although Hermione said 'Professor Snape must be framing Harry', Chu Xiaobai, who had read the original book, knew very well that it must be Professor Quirrell who was secretly doing the bad.

Having come to the conclusion that 'Quirrell has already started to act again', and then sorting it out, Chu Xiaobai secretly thought of a possibility. Perhaps, Quirrell, who had already completed the dragon egg deal with Hagrid, had already planned a plan of action at this time, and all that was left was the final 'time to act'.

“…… Uncle Chu, hey~! Clear~! Do you hear me? Chu Xiaobai unconsciously wandered, which annoyed Hermione at this moment - the thing she usually hates the most is being ignored by others, especially by the people she cares about.

"Uh, sorry. Hermione, I'm distracted. Well, where is it? ”

“……。” Rolling her eyes, Hermione repeated her question angrily, "Uncle Chu, what do you think I should do to help Harry and them?" Or listen to them and keep things hidden? ”

"......, I'm sorry, but what do you mean by 'things'?"

"It's about 'that man' targeting the Philosopher's Stone, and Snape being the mole he arranged at school." Under the knot, Hermione's hand unconsciously added some strength.

was enjoying her touching, but suddenly was pinched, and Alice was very dissatisfied with the 'meow'.

Not only did he secretly find out that Voldemort was trying to seize the Philosopher's Stone, but he also guessed the wrong object that should be suspected, and even, there was a difference of opinion when discussing how to stop Voldemort, well, isn't all this exactly the same as the routine of the original book?

Analyzing these from Hermione's words, Chu Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh in his heart - sure enough, the plot is not so easy to change - even if there are some accidents in the middle, if the 'variables' do not continue to play a role, the plot will slowly return to the old road after all.

In that case, isn't there no need to worry about Hermione's accident? After all, in "Harry Potter 1", neither Harry himself nor his friends were really hurt by Voldemort and Quirrell.

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Xiaobai threw the question back: "Whether you want to help Harry or tell Dumbledore about it, I think, it should be up to you to decide." After all, this incident may affect your relationship with your friends, and you will not regret it until you make your own decisions. Of course, whatever you decide to do, no matter how Harry reacts, I'm on your side. ”

Blinking his eyes, he stared at Chu Xiaobai for a long time: "......, doesn't this mean that you didn't say anything?" So what's the point of asking you? ”

"Alright then, then I'll tell you what I think. Uh, I mean, standing in my current position as a faculty member, rather than 'if I were you,' you understand what I'm saying no? ”

"Understand, let's talk." Impatient that Chu Xiaobai treated himself as a child, Hermione rolled her eyes angrily.

"......, can you stop rolling your eyes, it's ugly." Chu Xiaobai crooked the corners of his mouth: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business." From my standpoint as a faculty member, I think you should go to Professor McGonagall, or just Dumbledore, and talk to them about it. ”

"I know what you're most worried about right now, it's nothing more than telling the others about it, maybe it will leak out and Snape know, and then cause a series of unknowable big problems, right?"

Hermione nodded.

"Also, you're worried that other people might not believe you, right?"

Hermione nodded again.

"In the end, there is a little bit, I mean, just this ~~~~ a little bit......" Chu Xiaobai stretched out his thumb and index finger to pinch out a small gap: "Well, you want to be a hero, right?" ”

Staring at Chu Xiaobai, blinking a few times, in the end, Hermione nodded a little embarrassed. Chu Xiaobai was right, even if she had been persuading Harry and the others, deep down she had some thoughts in her heart that she wanted to solve things by herself and prove that she was a very capable and good student in front of the teacher. As for the more impulsive Harry and Ron, that's not to mention.

"Okay, looks like I guessed it all right." Clapping his palm, Chu Xiaobai continued: "That's why I always said that you are still children." ”

Stretching out his palm and pressing it down twice, stopping Hermione's protest, Chu Xiaobai then explained: "I have to say, your ideas are still too immature. Why worry about leaking news? Neither Dumbledore nor Professor McGonagall are big mouths, aren't they worthy of your trust? I know you were worried that their suspicions of Snape would be ignored, and they told Snape about it. But have you ever wondered if Snape wasn't what you think, and he wasn't actually 'that man' traitor? ”

"Impossible~~! I saw him cast a spell on Harry during a Quidditch match~. Hermione shouted with a determined face.

"Do you hear what spell he's chanting?"

"Not really." Hermione reminisced back and shook her head reluctantly.

"So, can I say that he's actually chanting a spell to protect Harry?"

"How is that possible. Uncle Chu, don't you know Snape yet? He always looked at us very unpleasantly, and every time he took his class, he would try his best to torment us, and he would deliberately deduct ...... points on our heads. ”

"Deduct points? It's just a trivial matter, can it be the same as killing someone? You can't assume that just because he doesn't like you guys, he's going to kill Harry and conclude that he's a spy for 'that guy'. If you think about it, your inference doesn't make sense, does it? ”

"But, but ......." Hermione still didn't seem to accept it, well, after all, Snape's impression in the minds of the little lions was really bad.

"Alright then, let's take a step back. Going back to the previous topic, if you went to Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall and told them that Snape was a bad guy, how would they react. The first possibility, their answer is 'Snape is absolutely trustworthy', telling you that you don't have to doubt his ....... ”

"That's what we're worried about~!"

"Worried about what? Do you think your judgment will be more accurate than Dumbledore's? Don't forget, Dumbledore is the nemesis of 'that person', and if it involves 'that person', Dumbledore is the most sensitive ....... ”
