The bad weather lasted until December. The weather has just cleared, and there are only two weeks left until the Christmas holidays.

With the Christmas holidays approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder.

The muddy grounds outside the castle were covered in a layer of crystal frost overnight, and the towers were covered with ice cubes.

The atmosphere in the school is getting more and more joyful as everyone prepares for Christmas.

Hagrid took inspiration from last year's pumpkins and planted twelve more of their largest evergreen trees this year.

Professor Dumbledore personally decorated the top of each tree with a small phoenix, which would sing a beautiful song whenever anyone passed by.

Professor Flitwick decorates his classroom with colorful fairy-shaped lanterns that can fly in the air.

Professor McGonagall decorated the classroom with several lion statues.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, but Harley always feels that the lion's belly is painted with the Academy Cup and Quidditch Cup trophies.

Even Professor Barblin reluctantly decorated the classroom, hanging small coffins with crosses carved into the windows.

This filled Hallie with the desire to complain.

Not to mention the operation of carving a cross on the coffin, where do you see that the old man liked the cross?

Wait, it's weird for wizards to celebrate Christmas! Who presided over the witch hunt in the first place!

Of course, what happies the little wizards the most is that the school allows the little wizards to go to Hogsmeade on the weekend before the Christmas break begins.

Hallie made an appointment with the Weasley twins in advance to sign a contract at the Hog's Head Bar.

Hallie has been a long-awaited Pig's Head Bar, especially since it sells spirits to young wizards.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Harley and Hermione were ahead of everyone, and the first to board the Thestrals carriage.

But once in the carriage, Hermione fell asleep in her chair. No way, it's really tiring to take twelve classes at the same time.

Although Hallie warns Hermione to be aware of the situation and tells Hermione the location of the Room of Requirement.

Hermione also began to use the time turner, going to the Room of Requirement from time to time to rest.

But this still squeezed Hermione's energy a lot, and it made Hermione a lot older.

Hermione didn't want Hallie to be seventeen when she graduated, and she ended up in her twenties. So she's already thinking about giving up some of the courses.

Professor Trelawney looked more like a liar in any way, and Hermione hadn't learned anything in the divination class, so there was no need to take it.

And Professor Bubaji ...... Seriously, she didn't know as much about Muggles as Hermione.

Professor Bubbaji was obsessed with Mendel's doctrine and tried to use it to study and refute the theory of descent preached by pure-blood families.

However, due to the laws of the Ministry of Magic and his own moral constraints, Professor Bubaji can only conduct conjecture and pure theoretical research.

While her research is significant, this kind of lesson ...... Hardly anything can be learned from a young wizard.

When they arrived at Hogsmeade, it was still early to make an appointment with the Weasley twins, and the two decided to go shopping first.

Hermione bought a whole bunch of candy, especially a hairy mint.

"Mom and Dad love to eat this, so they often write to me urging me to buy it."

Hermione whispered as she checked out, "The dentist is so depraved!" ”

As it approached eleven o'clock, Harley and Hermione left the Bunker House and headed for the Pig's Head Bar.

Located on the corner of Hogsmeade Village Parkway, the Hogsmeade Bar is cramped and dirty from the outside, with a thick layer of dirt on the windows.

At the door of the bar is a tattered wooden signboard hanging from a rusty stand.

The sign depicts a severed boar's head, and blood seeps through the white cloth that wraps the pig's head.

The corners of Hallie's and Hermione's mouths twitched slightly, this is the pig's head bar that is very famous among the little wizards?

This environment ...... It's chilling!

Underneath the signboard is a brand new wooden board with the history of the Pig's Head Bar written on it:

"The Hog's Head Bar has a very long history."

"In 1612, the goblin scruffy Lara revolted here and set off a goblin rebellion."

"And this is not only the site of the riot, but also the headquarters of the later goblin rebellion."

"It can be said that the blood and tears of countless wizards are engraved here, and it also represents their contribution to the wizarding world."

"Today's Hogsmeade Bar is a well-known attraction in Hogsmeade Village, where the purest spirits are sold, and they are cheap and have a special taste."

It can be seen that it is a signboard carved to promote one's own store.

However, Harley was deeply suspicious of this, and the appearance of such a dirty shop ...... Is this sign useful?

And the word ...... Why is it so familiar?

Harley thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that she could vaguely see the shadow of Professor Dumbledore's font in the font on the signboard.

At the door of the bar stood a Humpty Dumpty man wrapped in a black robe.

He looked at the sign and muttered, "Merlin is on top!" ”

"That old goat actually prepares a sign for Christmas? It's outrageous! ”

With that, Humpty Dumpty pushed open the greasy door and cautiously walked inside.

Harley and Hermione followed and walked into the Hog's Head Bar, but regretted it as soon as they entered.

The lobby on the first floor of the Hog's Head Bar looked small and messy, covered in a thick layer of dust from floor to ceiling.

A few rough wooden tables were lit with candles and a dim light.

There weren't many people in the bar at this point, just two mysterious wizards with black hoods sitting opposite each other.

Humpty Dumpty, who had been from earlier, walked straight towards the two of them, trying his best to avoid the boss's probing gaze.

However, the boss seemed to be used to seeing such a person, and did not bother to deal with him, but looked at Hallie and Hermione, who entered the store later.

After seeing the appearance of the two clearly, the boss's blue pupils shrank, but he still asked loudly:

"The little wizard of Hogwarts? Was it introduced by a classmate? ”

"Would you like some flame whiskey? Or chilled champagne? ”

Hermione frowned, because young wizards were not allowed to drink. But she didn't say anything.

"Just a bottle of mead first." Hallie came to the counter and whispered,

"When it's time to leave, I'll buy some more wine and take it with me, and then we will settle the bill together."

The boss's eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled out a dirty bottle of mead, and pulled out two dusty cups.

He wiped the cup with a grease-stained rag and handed it to Harley on a tray with the mead.

Hallie looked at the filthy cup, frowned, and lit it with her wand.

The dust on the bottle of mead disappeared instantly. Harley took the bottle and turned away from the counter.

"You haven't taken the cup yet!" The boss shouted in the back.

"No, I can use Transfiguration to transform myself."

Hallie waved her hand, no need for such a dirty cup.
