Chapter 123 Christmas Holidays
The Christmas banquet went on as usual, and the auditorium looked magnificent. Not only were there a dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost, and thick friezes of mistletoe and holly crisscrossed on the ceiling, but there was also enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling gently from the ceiling.
It's just that the Christmas dinner that took so much effort to set up, except for a few professors, the students who participated did not even have a hand.
With less than ten students and two tables, the Slytherin would never eat at the same table as Gryffindor. It's as if the two brothers, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, were sitting together, and sparks exploded directly between the two of them, blowing up the dinner table.
To Maple's surprise, Ravenclaw's Celia Dolux did not use a table alone, but did it with Maple.
Maple swept Celia's body several times with a scrutinizing gaze, but found nothing in her gaze.
Maple didn't get anything out of Celia's eyes, but her foot was stepped on several times by Hermione.
Celia seemed to notice the movement under the table, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, as if she thought it was funny.
Harry didn't pay attention to the movement at Hermione and Maple's feet, his face was not very good, because he didn't see the familiar Hagrid figure at the banquet, and his face couldn't help but show worry.
"Hello, I'm Celia Dorakus!" After her stomach was almost filled, and it was time to change to dessert, Celia took the initiative to greet Maple and them.
"Hermione Granger!"
"Maple Arribas!"
"Harry Potter!"
Because Maple took a few more looks, Hermione couldn't help but compare Celia Dolux with herself, Celia was more than superior in appearance, and the other party was not inferior to her in temperament.
Hermione felt a little familiar with the name when she heard Celia Dorakus, and then quickly remembered that she was the first student to enter the Ravenclaw Secret Vault. Although there is no hint of the eagle's head knocker, Celia's harvest in the vault is not as valuable as Hermione's, but the fact that the other party can enter it also shows that the other party's knowledge is no less than his own, not to mention that the other party is only a first-year student.
This was the second student besides Maple to make Hermione feel pressured, and after feeling frustrated by Celia, Hermione glared at Maple, and then saw that Maple didn't notice her eyes at all, Hermione couldn't help but get even more angry, and stomped on Maple's foot a few more times.
Maple had seen a lot of such episodes in film and television before, but probably because he was only twelve years old and his heart was weak, he didn't think of this aspect. He didn't realize what was going on with Hermione's concern and concern for ordinary people.
Maple should have watched Little Conan a few more times, and he might only realize that he was different from Hermione after waking him up.
This is probably a cultural difference, except for the Celestial Empire, island countries and Europe and the United States do not care much about precociousness, and only the Celestial Empire's heart is not easy to accept too precocious behavior.
It is understandable that Maple, who has developed his own outlook on life and worldview in this cultural atmosphere, is so slow to behave today.
Maybe if this relationship continues in a year or two, without being reminded, Maple himself will understand his mind.
Celia didn't seem to feel the strange look that Hermione had when she looked at her, and after introducing each other, she quickly moved on to learning. There seems to be a lot of common topic between the two schooly girls, and after talking for a while, the two got into a heated fight, and even Maple couldn't interject.
"Why didn't Hagrid attend the banquet, did something happen to him?" After Maple was excluded from the topic of the two girls, Harry finally couldn't help the worry in his heart and asked Maple.
At Harry's reminder, Maple noticed that there was one less person in the faculty seat.
"I don't know!" Maple lied, and although the time was no longer right, Maple guessed Hagrid's situation.
Hagrid was caught early, and Dumbledore was forced to leave school much earlier, which made Maple feel very uneasy, and had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Notice that stupid stupid big guy isn't there?" After the feast, Malfoy deliberately walked past Harry and said triumphantly, "He's not coming back!" ”
"Hahahaha!" Malfoy reminds Harry Hagrid of what happened, but doesn't tell him where he is. Looking at the iron bluish look on Harry's face, Malfoy felt happy and walked away with a smug laugh.
"What the hell does he know?" Seeing Malfoy's smug look, Harry couldn't help but worry about Hagrid's situation.
The next day, Harry couldn't wait to find out what had happened to Hagrid.
Seeing Harry's anxious look, Maple told him the answer-
"Hagrid has been captured in Azkaban." After a few hours of showing up, Maple came back and told Harry, "I flew to the Slytherin quarters with Animagus and heard Malfoy say to his two henchmen. ”
Hermione wasn't with Harry at this time, she was being guided by Nicolame himself under a holographic projection. Ravenclaw's parchment is, after all, dead, and far less helpful than a living Nicolamet.
What's more, although Ravenclaw's mana far exceeds Nicolame's strength, her level of alchemy may not necessarily surpass Nicolame's, who can make Philosopher's Stone.
"What is Azkaban?" Harry asked, puzzled.
"Wizard's Prison! It's where the Ministry of Magic keeps wizard criminals! Maple said.
"How did they get Hagrid there, the people at the Ministry of Magic must be confused, Hagrid is innocent!" Harry shouted excitedly.
"I know, and I believe in Hagrid's character, that he should have been wronged. It's just that now we don't even know what Hagrid was arrested for, and we don't know how to help him! Maple said.
"It must have been Malfoy!" As soon as he saw Draco Malfoy's smug look yesterday, Harry felt that this matter had nothing to do with his father, "He must have framed Hagrid!" ”
"Maybe, but we don't have any proof, I"
At this time, Maple's watch communicator reacted, and only Maple could feel the movement on the watch.
Maple turns on the communicator and begins his hapless Christmas career.
After Nicolame taught Hermione, Mary, who was unsupervised and bored, began to contact Maple frequently, taking up a lot of Maple's time and annoying Maple enough, but Mary was as happy as if she had picked up a toy, and used the communicator to talk to Maple every day.
