Chapter Eighty-Three: Professor McGonagall's Cat Climbing Frame
Speaking of which, Ron's operation of buttoning Harry's "eyes" has to be blamed by Rove.
Who made him change Snape's recipe in Potions class with a "flash of inspiration", and was also given points...... It gives many students the illusion that "I can do it".
It's just that no one else has as big a brain as Ron and Harry, and it's second only to Neville and Hannah's stupid duo...... Wolong and phoenix chicks.
After separating from Ginny, Rove walked out of the castle and stood at the foot of the steps, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Hogwarts after the cold winter snow:
In the morning light, from the castle gate to the Quidditch pitch, the Black Lagoon, and then to the snow-capped ridge in the distance, it is like a magnificent sea of snow.
Rove admired it for a while, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and the boy turned to look at him, only to see a familiar face, looking at him with a smile on his eyebrows.
Shirley was dressed in a cyan robe, with a slender ponytail tied by a silver hairtie, simple and extremely plain...... But even so, it's still extremely beautiful. _o_m
The girl stood on tiptoe, gently patted the falling snow on Rove's head and shoulders, and smiled: "Merry Christmas!" β
"Merry Christmas!" Seeing the girl's hands warm, Rove asked, "Is it cold?" β
"Okay." Shirley pulled open her collar slightly, revealing a snow-white velvet coat, and she said softly, "It's still very warm." β
The unicorn woolen dress that Rove gave to the girl last year was originally a little oversized, but with Shirley's development...... This year it just fits.
"Where's Hermione?" Rove tilted his head to look at the castle.
"I didn't see her either, so I'm still in the Gryffindor common room."
"Then let's go find the carriage first." Rove said as he retracted his gaze.
The ponytailed girl hummed briskly, stepped over several steps, and stepped on the snow with one foot, and the soles of her feet suddenly slipped, and she almost fell to the ground.
But fortunately, Rov reached out in time and held the girl's slender waist.
Rove let go of his hand and asked, "Are you alright?" β
Shirley shook her head with a crimson face.
The two walked side by side on the snow-deep road, squeaking and clattering with each step, leaving two rows of clear footprints, one large and one small, from the castle to the stable.
In the stable, a group of scrawny magical creatures with bat-like wings and black fur clinging to their skeletons were looking down and biting a large piece of cow bone.
Seeing that someone was coming, all the Thestrals raised their heads and stared at them with white eyes without pupils.
Shirley couldn't see Thestrals, and could only listen to Rov describe to her what the magical creature looked like.
"Just ride it!"
Rove picked a Thestrals, hung the carriage on it, and the two sat in the carriage and returned to the castle.
It's Christmas, and they're going to be at Professor McGonagall's house for a while.
That's right, it's Professor McGonagall's house, not her office!
Although Professor McGonagall spends her time at Hogwarts, she actually has a small house in Hogsmeade.
Last year, Shirley, who stayed at Hogwarts, went to Professor McGonagall's house to spend Christmas with her, and this year was no exception.
The carriage rang with a crisp bell and ran towards the castle, slowing down the long ramp before finally stopping in front of the castle. β¦.

Hermione had already arrived, and she was standing at the gate of the castle waiting for the two of them, and when Rove got out of the car, he was also stunned when he saw the girl's appearance.
Hermione was completely changed, she was wearing a brand new robe, and instead of carrying her big thick school bag, she was holding a small handbag.
The unkempt hair is also very soft and on the shoulders, and it looks like the whole person's temperament has changed a lot.
Seeing Rove and Shirley, Hermione said a little cramped:
"Sorry, I'm late, this hair is so hard to manage, I've been working on it for a long time...... Never again! β
Rove looked at Hermione, who would have barely recognized the little girl if it weren't for the familiar, big, white front teeth.
Seeing that Rove and Shirley were staring at her, Hermione scratched her hair and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Isn't it strange that I'm dressed like this?" β
"Not really!" Shirley took Hermione's hand and said softly, "It's beautiful." (This chapter is not finished!) )

οΌ β
Rove couldn't help but smile and praised sincerely: "It's pretty good." β
Hermione let out a soft sigh of relief and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Let's go." Rove withdrew his gaze and opened the carriage door, and Shirley stooped into the carriage, Hermione following close behind.
Thestrals galloped through the snow, ticking and ticking, and the carriage quickly pulled out of Hogwarts towards Hogsmeade.
In the carriage,
Ignited a magic flame for heating, so it's not too cold.
The two girls leaned close to their heads, chattering softly, thinking about which attractions to visit today.
"We're going to visit Professor McGonagall first, then Jokowi's Joke Shop, and the Screaming Shack is also worth seeing......"
Rove didn't interject, just sat in the carriage and read quietly, he slowly flipped through the book in his hand, and read it extremely seriously, the flickering fire reflected the handsome face of the young man.
Then he heard the two little girls discussing a gift for Professor McGonagall.
Shirley prepared a shawl that she had knitted by hand, and Hermione couldn't hold it for it, so she gave it a set of books.
Seeing that Rove was empty-handed, Shirley asked, "Rove, where's your gift?" β
"I sent the owl over last night." Rove explained, "It's not easy to bring a large object alone. β
"What did you give?" Hermione looked curious.
"A very practical thing, Professor McGonagall will definitely need it!" Rove raised his head and said with some smugness: "Cat climbing frame!" β

Hogsmeade Village,
As the only pure wizarding village in England, it was founded by the medieval wizard Hangis of Woodcroft.
Hogsmeade is almost as old as Hogwarts, and the two sides are also interdependent.
With the advent of Christmas, the village is also decorated, with holly garlands hanging from all the shops and strings of enchanted bonfires.
In the northwest corner of the village, away from the hustle and bustle, there is a white house with two trees planted at the door:
One is a date tree, and the other is also a date tree.
At this time, a tabby cat jumped out of the window, she walked around the snow a few times, felt her feet freeze, shook her paws, and hurried back to the warm room. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~....

Or snuggle up by the fireplace and watch the latest Quidditch magazines...... She can lie down for a day!
Just then, the bell rang, and a carriage stopped at the door, and a teenager and two young girls walked down.
The tabby cat hurriedly turned back into Professor McGonagall, and she pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
"Merry Christmas, Professor McGonagall."
Shirley and Hermione send blessings and Christmas presents, respectively.
Professor McGonagall smiled gently at the two girls, two of her favorite students.
Professor McGonagall was particularly surprised to see Hermione, however, for she almost didn't recognize who such a pretty little girl was.
Fortunately, the pair of front teeth reminded her!
When Rove greeted him, Professor McGonagall restrained her smile and said with a straight face:
"Mr. Scamander, I was rummaging through the presents this morning when I saw a cat climbing frame...... Did you write the wrong address? β
"No, it's for you." Rove said softly, "Don't you like cedar wood?" Still don't like the catnip on it? β
"Rove, I'll ask you to be sober." Professor McGonagall laughed, "My Animagus is a cat, but I'm not a real cat. β
"Don't give me any more weird gifts! Otherwise, I don't guarantee that you won't be fired like your grandfather Newt. β
ββ¦β¦β
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, and she smiled with the same look of anticipation as she played "Stone Pier Sortie":
"By the way, I can use Transfiguration to turn you into a cat and let you play on the cat climbing frame for a day, would you like to give it a try?"
"Then let's get rid of the cat climbing frame!" Rove sighed and said, "I'll give you other gifts, by the way, what about the cat climbing frame?"
If you don't like it, you won't need it. (This chapter is not finished!) )
