Chapter 43: The First Half of the School Year Coming to an End
The days passed in a dull way, and Christmas was coming.
One morning in mid-December, the students of Hogwarts woke up from their sleep to find that the castle had been covered with several feet of snow overnight, and the vast Black Lagoon had been covered with a layer of hard ice.
This made the little wizards very happy, after all, whether it was snowball or ice skating, it was a very interesting activity.
And since he drank the intelligence potion last month, Clark has stopped a lot.
There's no way, a precious magic potion like this is generally only best when you drink it for the first time, and then it becomes resistant.
Moreover, the snake egg of the Runi snake is the simplest potion he can come into contact with, in fact, this snake egg is also effective if swallowed directly, and Clark made so much trouble, just to make the medicine more effective.
However, the effect of the Runi snake egg is really good, and after drinking the intelligence enhancement potion, Clarke's memory, concentration, and reaction ability have been greatly improved.
This also led to the improvement of his casting concentration and combat reflexes, which were reflected in the system panel, and his [Focus] and [Spell Identification] skills were also increased by 2 points.
Now his attributes are already very good among first-year little wizards, even compared to second-year little wizards, they are not much worse.

Looking at his beautiful panel attributes, although the experience points were enough to upgrade to another level, Clark also decided to take a break for the time being.
After all, in the past two months, as his wizard level and strength have increased, the [Chaos Infection] state caused by his magic power has also increased, and at the same time, his control over his own strength has also decreased. These problems take time to deal with and digest.
And with the end of the courses, Christmas is approaching, and the young wizards are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the holidays, even Hermione, who has no intention of studying now.
Only Clark still insists on going to the library every day to read books. He didn't plan to go back this holiday, and there was no one in his family anyway, but he was more comfortable on the Hogwarts campus.
Because of the cold weather, warm fires began to light in the Gryffindor common room and school hall.
However, the airy corridor outside was still so cold, and the biting cold wind made the classroom windows rattle, forcing the passing students to wrap themselves in thick cashmere jackets.
Of course, Snape's Potions class was the worst of all, and in the cold, damp underground classroom, the mist exhaled by the young wizards condensed in front of them, merging with the steaming heat of the cauldron in front of them.
"I think it's so pathetic."
During the final Potions class of the year, Draco Malfoy said to his two classmates, "I'm going home for Christmas with my parents, but there are still some people who have been abandoned by the family and have to stay in school." ”
As he spoke, he squinted at Harry and Ron, and it was clear that he was defiant.
Since the last Quidditch match, Malfoy had transferred some of his malice against Clark to Harry.
He was extremely angry at Slytherin's defeat in the game, not because of any sense of collective pride, Malfoy was not so conscious, he was simply jealous of the Slytherin team for giving Harry the opportunity to shine in Quidditch.
Unfortunately, the young wizards in the school all admired Harry, the newly promoted sports star, and no matter what he said badly about Harry, no one responded, which made the angry and jealous Malfoy have to mock him again about Harry's lack of a home.
However, both men ignored him, and Harry was not really upset about it, he really didn't want to go back to Dursley's house for Christmas, so he signed up as soon as Professor McGonagall registered his vacation students the previous week.
As for Ron, he had to stay because the Weasleys were going to Romania to visit his brother Charlie.
For this reason, Harry and Ron were not provoked by Malfoy and did not give Snape a chance to deduct points.
But just because the two of them don't care doesn't mean that the others don't care.
Clarke, who was sitting behind Malfoy, poured a bottle of ink into the spare crucible, added some shredded crow feathers and leech slime, stirred it slightly, chanted a spell, and then took advantage of Snape's turn to suddenly stand up and buckle the crucible to Malfoy's head.
The pitch-black ink poured down like a waterfall, drenching Malfoy's entire body, staining him black without anyone around him even reacting to it.
"Ah~"
Malfoy stood up in fright with the cauldron on his head, and screamed loudly, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"What are you doing?" Snape strode up to Malfoy and Clark, and the young wizards around him looked at them.
"I hope you'll give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll think you'll need to keep slugs in the basement all Christmas, Mr. Prewit." Snape stared at Clark like a big bat.
In this case, Clark did not panic, and pointed directly at Malfoy and said, "Professor, Malfoy insulted me just now. It's not just me, it's my parents, Harry, Neville's parents! ”
"My father and uncle, surrounded by five Death Eaters, fought and retreated, and died valiantly and tenaciously; Neville's parents, tortured to the point of madness by the Death Eaters, just to find the whereabouts of the mysterious man; Harry's mother, in order to protect her child, died under the spell of the mysterious man.
They all died to resist the great cause of the mysterious people, and we couldn't reunite with them, so we had to stay at Hogwarts, but you, but you Malfoy said that we were abandoned by our parents, and you were insulting them! You are denying their sacrifice! I want him to apologize! ”
Clark complained excitedly, tears glistening in his eyes, and under his affectionate narration, the whole classroom was silent, and some little witches even looked at him with great sympathy.
"Slytherin 10 points!"
Snape's voice was colder than the weather outside, and Clarke's words just now stung him.
"Draco, apologies!"
Malfoy's face was flushed with ink and his robe was dripping with ink, of course, his face was dark at this moment, and he could see it, but through his eyes, he could still see the anger burning in his heart.
However, no matter how angry he was, in front of everyone, he could only bow his proud head.
