041: Busy Christmas

"Am I a little stupid?" Haylis lowered her head a little embarrassed.

Joel was stunned for a moment, and then shook his hand repeatedly, "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I don't feel that way, I just think you can't let go of your hands when you cast spells."

"Then we'll settle it between us!" Haylis looked up and looked at Joel with her own bright eyes.

In the young Hayris's opinion, having a child who practiced spells with her for an afternoon without complaint was already a friend.

Although Joel owes herself a "favor", in Hayris's opinion, it is just a gesture and effortless.

What's more, she didn't think she had really helped Joel much, at least not compared to the Charms teaching this afternoon.

Joel looked at Helis's face, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and the black hair on both sides of her cheeks was slightly removed, revealing her clean and delicate face.

At this moment, Joel felt that a barrier between himself and Haylis had been broken, and the vivid image of this girl was finally revealed in front of him.

"Listen to you, two clear." Joel chuckled as he cleaned up the common room and left the tower behind Haylis to dine in the auditorium.

He looked at Hylis's slender back, but thought in his heart that he would trouble her again.

He must rely on Helis's good fortune to extract the qualifications of the Origin of Magic, even if he triggers the system task again.

He desperately desires to have powerful magical powers.

The four house tables in the original auditorium have all been removed, and only the innermost faculty seats in the auditorium remain.

This was what Headmaster Dumbledore meant, otherwise it would be too lonely for the remaining students of the various houses to sit at the empty long tables, "The students can't go home for Christmas, we have to make them feel at home." That's the exact word.

There were twelve students on campus, and the students sat with the professors, waiting for Professor Dumbledore to speak.

Joel, like the other students, looked expectantly at the headmaster sitting in the center of the teacher's seat.

He didn't shy away from it, and despite the fact that he had a lot of secrets in his head, and that Dumbledore was a master of the Templar in the books, Joel was sure he wouldn't use such a spell lightly on his students.

After all, Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts, and Joel was a student at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore wore a red Santa hat with a white brim and snowflakes on it, and he looked at his students and colleagues with a slight smile on his face.

"It's Christmas just around the corner," he said in a cheerful tone, "and it's a shame that you can't be with your family for a variety of reasons during this traditional holiday, but you can feel at home at Hogwarts." ”

"Look at the classmates and teachers around you, these are all your family, you will help each other and support each other, and spend the unforgettable 7 years of youth," Dumbledore said as if he was touched, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the wetness in his eyes, "It's unforgettable." ”

The Slytherin and Gryffindor students looked at each other from afar on either side of the long table, a malicious smile on their faces, and Joel felt that if the professors weren't there, the Gryffindors and Slytherin would be able to fight.

In contrast, the students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw get along fairly well, mainly because neither student is very troublesome.

While Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Wright at the long table had apparently sensed that something was wrong with the students, Professor Dumbledore put away his handkerchief as if nothing had happened.

"Without further ado, let's enjoy the dinner!" Dumbledore waved his hand, and the white tablecloth was instantly covered with all kinds of food.

Fried chicken thighs, grilled chicken thighs, braised chicken thighs...... It's still mostly those dishes, and Joel has been tired of eating them for more than three months after coming to Hogwarts.

But Haylis and the others, who were sitting next to them, felt that this dinner was unusually rich, and kept putting dishes on their plates.

Joel made do with two fried fish and swallowed them before stopping.

"You don't have a good appetite today?" Haylis asked curiously as she scooped a spoonful of beans from the plate in front of her and looked at Joel's plate.

Joel stopped talking, looked into Helis's eyes and shook his head, picked up a fried chicken leg and nibbled on it.

“…… Don't just eat meat, this stew is delicious. Helis hesitated.

Joel couldn't refuse, so he brought himself a spoonful of cream stew in his bowl, and he always felt almost funny when he ate it.

It's not that he thinks English food is unpalatable, after all, the house-elves in the castle are also very good at cooking, but the taste of the dishes is not to his liking, and the form of the dishes is monotonous and there are no tricks.

"It tastes good, it tastes good." Joel has a rare compliment to British food.

Helis then moved her gaze back to her plate.

At dinner, Joel was restless, fearing that Helis would look away and let him try something else.

After dinner, the professors left first, and then the students of the four faculties scattered without paying any attention to anyone.

Joel found that the conflict between the Slytherin and Gryffindor students was already very deep, and in fact, the confrontation between Harry and Malfoy after the admission of Harry and Malfoy next year only further amplified the conflict between the two houses.

He knew that it was impossible for the two academies to get back together in a short period of time, and there were quite a lot of prejudices between them, as the saying goes: The prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain, and no matter how hard you try, you can't even think of moving it.

He is not interested in getting involved in the between these two academies, it is none of his business, it is better to make more money with this blind kung fu, and how fragrant it is to exchange the source of magic power as soon as possible!

One night in the common room, leaning against the fireplace and writing a reply, while Helis was flipping through The Standard Spell, Joel felt that the common room was a little more welcoming than usual.

The staff of the Wizarding Examination Authority are now working day and night at high intensity, and this afternoon alone, four letters were delivered to Joel, with some deletion questions that Joel thought about for a long time before he could reply.

His reply has been emphasizing one point, that is, the general idea of the complete solution of the magic course cannot be changed, and the exercises and analysis must be available, which is an important magic weapon for them to sell well in the UK, and it is also the key to occupying the world magic teaching and auxiliary materials market.

As a result, Joel's workload increased dramatically, and the staff of the Wizarding Examination Authority learned from various magic schools/ministries of magic the questions from decades ago (which were no longer confidential), and Joel had to write down the answers and explanations of these questions.
