After hearing Hagrid's words, Harley and Hermione shivered at the same time, glad they hadn't eaten the sandwich in front of them.

At this moment, Harley felt that Hagrid definitely had a common language with Frank Lee of that Star Pirate Band, at least in terms of creation.

Harley decisively shifted the conversation to the recent Christmas holidays, successfully diverting Hagrid's attention.

After chatting for a long time, it was getting late.

Hagrid also wanted to keep Hallie and Hermione for dinner, and made sure that his newly invented hodgepodge was absolutely delicious, and his teeth drooled when he smelled it.

However, Hallie skimmed Hagrid's pickled slugs in a large glass jar on the windowsill, wisely poked Hermione in the waist, and then found an excuse to slip away.

Although Harley and Hermione were not invited to dinner, Hagrid still gave the two of them something before leaving.

Thankfully, he gave the normal Christmas present, a photo album about Halle's parents and a book about magical beasts.

Tooth was probably the most reluctant to let Harley and Hermione go. It sent them all the way to the castle, and took two sausages before leaving satisfied.

It was glad that it didn't have to endure the torture of Hagrid's "food" tonight.

"It's good that Hagrid didn't use those pickled carnivorous slugs as Christmas presents." Hermione walked towards the auditorium, flipping through the book in her hand and complaining,

"This book "Thirty Cute Creatures You Don't Know" is much more normal...... Wait, I take back what I said.

In this book, the eight-eyed giant spider and the three-headed dog are called cute little ones? Aren't they XXXXX-class dangerous creatures? ”

"Hagrid wanted to raise a dragon last semester, and he just revealed that he had a three-headed dog. So it's very much in line with his style. ”

Harley complained mercilessly, holding the album to her chest, deciding to take a closer look at it at night.

Although she has a good memory, she can even recall what her parents looked like when she was a baby.

But after getting this album, there is still a complex emotion in her heart that mixes anticipation, joy, sadness and other feelings.

Demigods have divinity, but human nature is still fundamental.

……

In the evening, after eating in the auditorium, Hallie went back to her tent and closed the zipper to build a spiritual wall.

The clever Hermione guessed what Hallie was going to do, so she suppressed her curiosity about Hallie's parents and didn't follow up.

After sealing her account, Harley solemnly placed the album on her pillow.

Instead of opening the album immediately, she gently stroked the album's beautiful leather cover.

After a long time, Harley gently opened the album and looked at it carefully.

Most of the photos are of my parents when they were young, from the time they were in the seventh grade until they got married.

After her mother became pregnant, there were fewer photos.

According to Hagrid, they had already joined the fight against Voldemort by that time, so Hallie's mother, Lily, hid in a safe place.

After giving birth to Hallie, Lily wanted to continue to participate in the fight, but it was reported that Voldemort was chasing and killing the Potters, so the couple could only continue to hide.

Harley looked at the person in the photo, her father looked very similar to her in the past, and her mother looked very similar to her current appearance, but she lacked her extraordinary charm now.

In one of the photographs, Jaime and Lily are smiling at Hallie, waving their hands.

Beside them stood a thin, pale young man and a hunched young man.

Hagrid thoughtfully added notes to the photo, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

"There must be another person in the picture." Harley looked at the empty seat between her father and Lupin,

"Is it in memory of someone who has died?

No, the magic fluctuations that were originally connected in the photo are missing, and someone must have erased someone from the photo with magic.

It was the time of the Wizarding Wars, presumably a traitor? Or a spy? That's why he was erased afterwards? ”

Hallie silently flipped through the entire album and stayed on to the last photo.

It appeared to be a selfie of his parents sitting on the couch, Lily still holding her infant self in her arms.

Hallie looked at the baby with wide green eyes and curiously reached out to the camera outside the picture.

Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

At that time, she was just a cute child, but now she is an ageless witch.

The mother in the photo is affectionately pinching the child's little face, with a bright smile on her face.

Harley swallowed, a little envious for a moment.

She's never experienced a day like this!

……

The next day, the students who had left the school returned to school, and the castle was lively again.

A smile fell back on Hallie's face. The album had been ritual-kept, and had been placed at the bottom of the box along with the cloak of invisibility.

The most important thing for her now is to cope with her classmates who are returning to school.

God knows why anyone would go on the last day of the holiday trying to catch up on an entire holiday assignment!

On the night of Christmas, Hogwarts once again held a big feast to make up for the regrets of those who were not at school.

At the banquet, Professor Dumbledore once again opened a lot of good wine.

Harley felt a little sorry because the wine was on the teacher's seat, and she had no reason to drink it this time.

There were a couple of bottles of flame whiskey in there, and they smelled really good!

At the dinner, Professor Lockhart seemed to be particularly happy, as if something had happened, and he drank an entire bottle of flame whiskey almost alone.

Towards the end of the dinner, he suddenly stood up, deliberately shook the golden robe on his body, and announced in a loud voice:

"Dear students, and my colleagues, I am here to announce good news to you!

I, Lockhart, the recipient of the Order of Merlin of the Third Class, and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, hereby solemnly announce!

I've solved the attack once and for all, and found the culprit! I assure you that there will never be another attack! ”

However, the students below did not respond, they just looked at Professor Lockhart, who did not know what was crazy, and whispered.

With his strength, the Slytherin heir could have crushed him to slag!

"Did he drink too much?" Harley heard Ron muttering in the distance, and several of the boys snickered.

A smile was already on Professor Snape's lips, and it seemed good to have such a colleague who could bring him fun?

The other teachers also had skeptical expressions, and their suspicious eyes fell on Lockhart.

Professor McGonagall frowned, hoping that Lockhart would stop making any more trouble.

"I know you don't believe it, but it's true!" Professor Lockhart burped and exclaimed,

"I assure you in my name that this matter has been completely resolved by me!

And now the school needs to boost morale and erase the memories of the last semester.

So I have a little surprise for you! ”

As he spoke, Professor Lockhart raised the flame whiskey in his hand.
