Christmas is just around the corner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

One morning in mid-December, Al woke up from his dream to find that the outside of the castle was covered with a thick layer of snow and the lake was covered with a layer of hard ice, and now people no longer had to worry about falling into the lake even if they walked and played on it.

The Weasley twins were punished by Professor McGonagall for enchanting several snowballs, causing them to run after Professor Quirrell.

A few owls flew through the snowy skies, dutifully delivering the mail, and after a lot of hardship, they had to regain their strength under Hagrid's care before they could continue to take off.

Al, Hermione, and Harry, braving the snowstorm, built a small snowman outside the castle to welcome the first heavy snow of the year.

It's getting colder.

Everyone was eagerly looking forward to the holiday, and although the fireplaces in the Gryffindor common room and auditorium were blazing, the corridors with the wind through the halls were bitterly cold, and the windows of the classrooms were crackling with the bitter cold wind.

Worst of all, because Snape's classes were all in the underground classroom, the gas they were out of the room was always a white mist in front of them, and it was so cold that it made people shiver, so they could only get as close as possible to their hot crucible to get a hint of warmth.

Since Quidditch, Malfoy had become even more gloomy than before, and he was indignant at the defeat of the Slytherin team, often privately saying that he should replace Harry with Neville's Toad and act as a Gryffindor Seeker, perhaps playing a little better.

Malfoy's intention was to make everyone laugh, but no one found his words ridiculous, because everyone admired Harry and thought he was flying very well.

Jealous and angry, Malfoy turned around and laughed at Al and Harry, saying that they didn't have a decent family.

"I really feel sorry for those people," Malfoy said in another Potions class, "and they had to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because their family was either dead or didn't want them anymore." ”

Crabbe and Goyle snickered, and Malfoy's eyes were fixed on Al and Harry as he spoke, apparently aimed at the two of them.

But neither Al nor Harry ignored him, and both ignored his words.

This Christmas, Al didn't want to go home for the holidays, because in addition to himself, there was only one house-elf Ah Fu, and the house was deserted, very boring, and there was no Hogwarts at all.

So when Professor McGonagall came over last week to register the list of students who were staying on campus for the holidays, Al was happy to sign his name on it.

In addition to Al, Harry and Ron also stayed at the school. Harry stayed because he didn't like his uncle's family and didn't want to be with them all the time, while Ron had to stay at school because his parents had gone to Romania to visit one of his older brothers.

Of the four El, only Hermione would return home for the holidays to reunite with her parents and spend Christmas together.

When they left the underground classroom after their Potions class, they found that the corridor in front of them was blocked by a large fir tree.

Seeing the two big feet sticking out from under the tree, and hearing the loud snort, Al knew that there must be Hagrid behind the tree.

"Hey, Hagrid, do you need our help?" Ron asked, reaching through the cracks in the trees as he reached his head between the branches.

"No, I can, thank you, Ron. ”

"Can you get out of the way, out of the way?" El and behind them, Malfoy's cold, long-pitched voice rang out.

"Do you want to earn some pocket money, Weasley? I guess you'd like to go to the hunting grounds after you graduate from Hogwarts? Hagrid's hut must be like a palace compared to your old home!"

This is very insulting.

Al knew that Ron's family had seven children, his mother was a stay-at-home wife, and his father worked in the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects at the Ministry of Magic, and the salary was not high, and he had many children, so most of the things Ron used were second-hand, even the robes and wands, which were left over from his brothers.

The Weasleys were able to live on their own feet, but when it came to spending money, they were strapped for money.

Ron's face flushed, blood welled up, and he rushed headlong towards Malfoy, just then Snape appeared on the stairs.

"Weasley, what are you doing!" Snape grimaced, staring at Ron.

Ron looked at Snape, opened his mouth, and finally loosened the clothes on Malfoy's chest.

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

"Either way, it's against Hogwarts rules, Hagrid. Snape's razor-sharp eyes looked at Hagrid, and then said in a sleek voice, "Gryffindor was deducted five points, Weasley, and you should be glad you didn't deduct more." Alright, let's go, all of you. ”

Malfoy, Parkinson, Crabbe, and Goyle squeezed rudely past the tree, knocking the needles everywhere, smirking smirked.

"I've had enough!" Ron said through gritted teeth as he looked at Malfoy's back, "One day, I'm going to teach him a hard lesson!"

Harry nodded, and said, "Malfoy and Snape, I hate both of them. ”

"Don't be impulsive, we have to learn to refrain from fighting, knowing that fighting in school is not good for anyone. Al sighed, and said, "As annoying as Malfoy is, we can't do anything with him. ”

Hermione nodded approvingly.

"Well, be happy, it's almost Christmas. "And guess what, come with me to the diner," said Hagrid. ”

Al and the others followed Hagrid and his fir tree into the auditorium.

The walls of the auditorium were covered with hanging ribbons, and a full twelve towering Christmas trees were erected throughout the room, some with shiny Xiaoice pillars, others with hundreds of candles. The auditorium is beautiful and magnificent, and it is becoming more and more festive.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were there, busy arranging the Christmas decorations.

"Ah, Hagrid, did you bring in the last tree too, how about putting it in the corner over there?"
