Christmas is just around the corner. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts School woke up from a dream to find that it was covered with several feet of snow and that the lake was covered with hard ice. The Weasley twins were punished for enchanting several snowballs and causing them to chase Quirrell around and smash them behind his turban. Several owls flew through the snowy skies to deliver mail, and after a lot of hardship, they had to regain their strength under Hagrid's care before they could continue to take off.

By the way, the two custom-made wands that had been delayed for a long time were finally sent at this time, and the money had already been paid, so naturally there was no need to pay again, just send it through the owl to pick up the goods.

In this way, the Immortal Sect and Lihua Song no longer have to use the universal wand, and they don't want to experience the pain of the universal wand anymore.

If it weren't for that, Lihua would not have been a little sullen recently, and he would not be as active as before.

What's more, the thing happened to be delivered just before Christmas, and it became a bit like a Christmas gift, which made uninformed people envious of the two of Xianpai and Lihua.

Everyone can't wait for the holiday. While fires were blazing in the Gryffindor common room and auditorium, the windswept corridors were chilling, and the windows of the classrooms were rattling in the bitter wind. Worst of all, Professor Snape's classes were all in the basement classroom, and as soon as they breathed, a white mist formed in front of them, and they had to get as close as possible to their hot crucibles.

"I really feel sorry for those people," said Draco during a Potions class. "They had to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because the family didn't want them. ”

He looked at Harry as he spoke. Crabbe and Goyle snickered. Harry was weighing the powdered lionfish vertebrae, ignoring them.

Since Quidditch, Malfoy has become even more gloomy than before. He was outraged by the Slytherin defeat, saying that the next match would be a large-mouthed frog replacing Harry as the Seeker. He wanted to make everyone laugh, but found that no one found his words ridiculous. Because everyone admired Harry's ability to stay firmly on his rampage broomstick. Jealous and angry, Malfoy turned around and laughed at Harry for not having a decent family.

Indeed, Harry didn't want to go back to Privet for Christmas. Last week, Professor McGonagall came over to register the list of students who were staying on campus for the holidays, and Harry immediately signed it. He didn't feel sorry for himself at all. It was probably the best Christmas of his life. Ron and his two twin brothers are also ready to stay, as the Weasleys are traveling to Romania to visit Charlie.

Obviously, Christmas is too short, and Liu Jiecao can't go back for such a short time, even if he does? It wasn't a home, so he and his friends stayed at school as well.

When they left the basement classroom after their Potions class. It was found that the corridor in front of it was tightly blocked by a large fir tree. When they saw the two big feet sticking out from under the tree, and heard the loud snoring, they knew that behind the tree must be the sea.

"Hey, Hagrid, do you need help?" Ron asked, sticking his head out between the branches.

"No, I can, thank you, Ron."

"Can you dodge. Don't get in the way? Behind them came Malfoy's cold, long-pitched voice. Do you want to earn some pocket money, Weasley? I'm guessing you'd like to go to the hunting grounds after graduating from Hogwarts, right? - Hagrid's cottage must have looked like a palace compared to your old home! ”

Ron lunged headlong at Malfoy. Just then, Snape appeared on the stairs.

"Weasley!"

Ron loosened the clothes on Malfoy's chest.

"Someone messed with him first, Professor Snape." Hagrid said, sticking his unkempt head out from behind the tree. "Malfoy just insulted his family."

"Either way, it's against Hogwarts rules to hit someone, Hagrid." Snape said in a sleek voice. "Gryffindor was deducted five points, Weasley, you should be glad it wasn't deducted more. Alright, let's go, all of you. ”

Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle rudely squeezed past the tree, knocking needles everywhere. He was smirking smugly.

"I'm going to teach him a lesson," Ron said as he looked at Malfoy's back and gritted his teeth, "someday, I'm going to teach him a hard lesson—"

"I really hate the two of them," Harry said, "Malfoy and Snape. ”

"Alright, be happy, it's almost Christmas." Hagrid said, "Guess what, come with me to the dining room, it's wonderful." ”

So Liu Jiecao, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed Hagrid and his fir tree to the Great Hall, where Professors McGonagall and Flitwick were busy arranging the Christmas decorations.

"Ah, Hagrid, the last tree has been brought in—in the corner over there, okay?"

The auditorium is beautiful and spectacular. The walls were covered with weeping ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and a whole dozen towering Christmas trees were erected throughout the room, some with shiny Xiaoice pillars, others with hundreds of candles.

"How many days are left before we have a holiday?" Hagrid asked.

"It's only one day." Hermione said, "Oh, that reminds me - Guitar, Harry, Ron, there's still half an hour to eat, we should go to the library." ”

"Oh, yes, you're right." Ron said, reluctantly looking away from Professor Flitwick. The Professor was using his wand to spew strings of golden bubbles and hang them on the branches of the newly moved tree.

"Library?" Hagrid said, following them out of the auditorium, "Reading a book on vacation?" It's too hard, huh? ”

"Oh, we're not reviewing our homework." Harry said to him happily, "Ever since you mentioned Nicol. We've been trying to figure out who he is since Lemay. ”

"What?" Hagrid looked horrified. "Listen to me—I told you—stop. The big dog guarding something has nothing to do with you. ”

"We just want to know Nicol. Who is Lemay, nothing else. Hermione said.

"Are you willing to tell us lest we have to bother?" Harry added, "We've looked through at least a hundred books, and we haven't found even a shadow of him—just draw us a hint—I know where I've seen his name." ”

"I'm not going to say anything." Hagrid said dryly.

"Then we'll have to find it ourselves." Ron said. They hurried to the library, leaving Hagrid alone with an angry look on his face.

Indeed, they had been looking for Lemay's name in the books since Hagrid had leaked his mouth, but what else could they do to find out what Snape was trying to steal?

The trouble is that it's hard for them to know where to start, and they don't know what Lemay has to do to be included in the book. He is not in "The Great Wizard of the Twentieth Century", nor in "The List of Famous Magicians of Our Time". In addition, his name is not found in "The Great Discoveries of Modern Magic" and "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft".

And, of course, the sheer size of the library's collection, with thousands of books, thousands of shelves, and hundreds of narrow passages.

Hermione pulled out a list of topics and titles she had decided to look for from her pocket.

Meanwhile, Ron wandered in front of a row of books, aimlessly pulling some books out of the shelves.

Harry unwittingly found himself in the forbidden book section. Unfortunately, to find any forbidden book had to be a note signed by a teacher, and Harry knew he couldn't get his hands on it. These books contain powerful dark arts that are never taught in Hogwarts classrooms, and can only be read by older students when they are studying the advanced "Defence Against the Dark Arts".

"What are you looking for, kid?"

"Nothing." Harry replied.

Mrs. Pince, the librarian, waved a feather duster at him.

"Then you'd better get out. Let's go—get out! ”

Harry left the library, wishing he had been nimble enough to come up with a few lies. He, along with Ron and Hermione, agreed that it was best not to ask Mrs. Pince where to find Lemay. They knew she would be able to tell them, but they couldn't risk Snape hearing what they wanted to do.

"Hapless Snape." Liu Jiecao complained in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Professor Snape." Hermione, who knew the truth through Liu Jiecao, had to hide Harry and Ron.

Harry waited in the hallway outside to see if the other three would find out, but he didn't have much hope. They've been looking for two weeks, but they're only using their spare time, so it's not surprising that they find nothing. All they needed was to search for them as hard as they could, and not let Mrs. Pince stare at them and spray her breath on the back of their necks.

As for Liu Jiecao, will he look for it seriously? How could it be, he just used this to let the Book of Creation scan the materials in the library.

Five minutes later, Liu Jiecao, Ron, and Hermione returned to him, shaking their heads in disappointment. They went to lunch together.

"You're going to keep searching while I'm away, okay?" Hermione said, "As soon as you find something, send an owl to tell me." ”

"You can also ask your parents if they know about Lemay." "It's safe to ask them," Ron said. ”

"It's very safe because they're both dentists." Hermione said.

Well, by the way, of course Liu Jiecao knows about Nico. Who Lemay is, but he just doesn't say, not to destroy the plot, but to think it's funny.

Knowing that the answer was right in front of them, Harry and Ron had been in direct contact before, and had completely forgotten that the expression on their faces must have been funny when they found out. (To be continued......)
