"Snape must be playing tricks," Ron explained, "and Hermione and I see that he's been staring at you, cursing your broomstick. ”

"Notice that Quirrell was staring at Harry's broomstick as well, Ron!" said Joe. "One of them is casting a curse again, and the other is casting a counter-curse. "It must be Snape, that old bat has been targeting Harry"

"Nonsense," said Hagrid, who had no idea what was going on stage. "Why would Snape do such a thing?" several men looked at each other, not knowing what to tell him. Harry decided to tell him the truth.

"I discovered some of his secrets," he told Hagrid, "and he managed to get around the three-headed dog on Halloween, but was bitten by it." We think Snape must have been trying to steal the dog guards. Hagrid put down the teapot.

"How do you know about Louwi?" he said.

"Lewe?" "Yes—he was bought by me from a Greek at a bar last year - I lent it to the Dumbledore guards—" "Guarding what?" Harry wondered eagerly.

"Well, don't ask me again," Hagrid said crudely, "that's top secret. ”

But Snape tried to steal it. ”

"Nonsense," Hagrid added, "Snape is a professor at Hogwarts, so he wouldn't do that." "This matter is to be investigated!" said Joe, "you can't just charge people with it. "It must be Snape, don't think about it. Ron said

"I'm telling you, you're wrong!" Hagrid said angrily, "I don't know what Harry's broom is all about. But Snape wouldn't want to murder a student. Listen to me, you - the three of you are interfering right now and it's none of your business. It's dangerous, you forget the dog, you forget what it's guarding. It's about the ...... between Professor Dumbledore and Nicol Lemay."

"Aha," said Harry, "oh, it has something to do with a man named Nicol Lemay, isn't it?" Hagrid was angry at himself.

Christmas is coming. One morning in mid-December, when the ground at Hogwarts School was covered with several feet of snow and the frozen lake froze, the Weasley brothers were punished for making snowdrifts, so they had to follow Quirrell all day. Several owls struggling to fly into the blizzard, and Hagrid had to take good care of them to prevent them from plunging into the blizzard.

People are eagerly anticipating the holiday season. Warm fires began to light in the Gryffindor common room and in the school hall. The airy hallway outside became cold, and the biting cold wind rattled the classroom windows.

Ever since Hagrid had slipped his mouth last time, Harry and Ron had been looking for the name Lemay in the books, because they wanted to know what Snape was trying to steal. But the trouble is that they don't know which books Lemay is written in, and they feel that they can't get started. He is not found in The Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century, nor in The Famous Magicians of Our Time, nor in Important Discoveries of Modern Magic and Studies in the Development of Modern Witchcraft. However, a library is as big as it is, with thousands of books, thousands of bookcases, and hundreds of rows of shelves. "Joe, you know what?" After searching the Audio-Technica for a long time to no avail, Hermione came to Joe for help. "Nicol Lemay, I haven't heard of it. Joe shook her head with a feigned regret, "Really?" Hermione looked at Joe with some suspicion. "You know everything, but I can help. So Joe made a little trick and joined the search team.

Hermione pulled out a list of books to search, Ron wandered along the rows of bookshelves, pulling books from them and flipping through them, and Joe flipped through the modern history of wizarding. Soon the library's modern history books were all searched, and of course, they found nothing.

Harry began to come up with the idea of a forbidden book zone. It's just that the teacher's special signature permission is required to access restricted books, and it is impossible for a few first-year wizards to get such a note. There are books about super black witchcraft in the forbidden book section.

Soon, the winter break arrived, and Joe, after much deliberation, decided not to go home this holiday and spend Christmas at Hogwarts this year.

When the holidays began, Ron and Harry were completely crazy, forgetting about Nicol Lemay, Joe was experimenting and doing research as usual, and even more than when he wasn't on vacation, the kid simply lived in the Room of Need.

And Ron began to teach Harry how to play magic chess. Except that the pieces are alive, this chess is otherwise the same as Muggle chess. Using live chess pieces can make the player feel as if they were commanding an army in battle. Ron's "pawns" were left to him by his grandfather, old and old, like everything he owned. However, the old "chess players" were not a shortcoming for Ron, as he knew them so well that he could command them as he pleased.

Harry's "pawn" was lent to him by Seamus, who didn't trust Harry, and worse still, he wasn't a good "strategist". The "pawns" always gave Harry some puzzling advice: "Don't send me there, don't you see his knight there, send him there, it's okay for us to die if he's dead." ”

As for Joe, in Ron's words, he was only interested in magic.

On Christmas Eve, Joe was busy in the lab until the early hours of the next morning, then slept for two hours with the power of the energy ring, and when he got up, he tidied up in his dorm room as usual. As a result, as soon as he entered the dormitory, he saw a small pile of gift packages at the foot of his bed. "Oh, it's Christmas!" Jo snapped his brain. In his previous life, as an Oriental, he was looking forward to the Spring Festival, but he really didn't feel any about Christmas. As a result, he didn't pay attention to Christmas at all in this life. Even every time they exchange gifts, they have to be reminded by their parents.

It's rude not to give a gift at Christmas. Joe hurried to make amends, anyway, he had potions, books, and magic items he made, there were countless of them, so the gifts were not too watery.

He sent David a tie that would add to his charm when worn. Anna was sent the most satisfying bottle of beauty potion ever. Sent Hermione a copy of her elementary Charms research and transformation notes. He sent Ron a bag with 1 square meter of internal space, and Harry a bracelet that could cast two armor spells. After sending George and Fred a lot of mischievous products, Joe ended up making a bunch of snacks in the Hogwarts kitchen, placing them in a food box with the Heat, Freshness, and Stretching Charms applied to them, and sending them to the Abbott sisters.

When he was done, Joe opened his gift. David sent himself a beautiful coat and wrote to him not to freeze, and Anna sent a lot of coffee and wrote to him to pay attention to his body and not to do research all day long. Julie sent herself a book on potions, Hannah sent him a lot of candy from Duke Honey, Fred and George sent him a lot of funny props, Hermione sent herself some sugar-free snacks, Harry sent him some candy, and Ron sent him a copy of the Tales of the Poet Pedou, which made Jo laugh dumbly, and he opened the fairy tale and reviewed the story of the three brothers.

After looking at all the presents, Joe noticed that Harry had rushed to find him, followed by Ron. "What do you see here?" said Harry excitedly, holding a soft silver-white cape. "It's ・・・・・・ cloak!" said Joe, feigning surprise. Now that the forbidden book area has fallen, he snickered in his heart at the same time.
