As for Glopp's follow-up, Hallie didn't pay too much attention to it, anyway, she did everything she could.

To be honest, Harley was used to Hagrid's brain-only behavior.

She only wanted Hagrid to stop thinking about it, and after teaching Glopp English, she asked her students to study giants.

Hagrid's return also brought a lot of shock to Hogwarts, and the students had joy and sorrow.

On the one hand, because Christmas is approaching, everyone is glad that Hagrid is back in time when they think of this year's Halloween decorations;

On the other hand, because the current substitute professor, Professor Graplan, is leaving, and the protection of magical beasts class is about to be taken over by Hagrid.

Hagrid's Conservation of Magical Beasts lesson...... I can only say that I understand everything, and I have never been online anyway.

And Hagrid's first class after returning lived up to expectations.

Obviously Professor Grapeland had left the syllabus and told him. Animals that often appear in exams.

Considering the scope of this outline class of Fantastic Beasts, Hagrid had only taught Sniff and Unicorn for the previous two years, and most of them had not been mentioned.

Therefore, during the substitute teaching period, Professor Graplan sped up the pace and solved nearly half of the required knowledge points.

It's very interesting that he's just a temporary worker, but he's already in this position, and Hagrid himself just needs to do it step by step.

But he felt that this kind of course was too boring and needed to be revised "slightly", and he successfully gave the students a big job-

In his first class back, Hagrid brought in the Thestrals who were in charge of pulling the wagons for the school.

To be honest, Harley couldn't figure out why Hagrid was showing live Thestrals to a group of students who didn't understand death and couldn't see Thestrals.

Give a live demonstration to a group of students who can't see Thestrals...... Does it work? Does it make sense? I'm afraid only Hagrid can do it!

It can only be said that fortunately, Umbridge applied for an indefinite leave of absence due to both physical and mental injuries.

Harley seriously suspected that if Hagrid ran into Umbridge, she would have to be notified of her stay in school within ten days.

…………

November flies, December follows, and Christmas is finally here.

The snowflakes began to spin and dance outside the window again, constantly beating the frozen windowsill.

Hagrid wasn't good at classes, but he never disappointed when it came to providing holiday decorations.

He selected twelve tall pine trees from the Forbidden Forest as Christmas trees and placed them in various corners of the auditorium, and Professor Flitwick thoughtfully conjured large snowflakes that would not melt, small sparkling Xiaoice pillars and various ribbons as ornaments.

The stairs and railings of the castle were covered with holly and tin foil of various colors, and small bells were tied to them, which made a crisp sound when touched.

In the hallway, the helmets of the armor flickered with ever-bright candles, and a large bouquet of parasites hung above each pair of armor.

Everyone is excited and looking forward to the upcoming Christmas.

In addition to the usual Christmas dinner, there is another exciting event to look forward to this year, and that is the Christmas party that Professor Slughorn is organizing.

As early as two weeks before Christmas, Professor Slughorn was making a fuss about the school.

He was going to have a separate Christmas party in his office, and he would only invite those who were good at it.

According to Professor Slughorn, there are many successful people from outside the school who will be present at the party, which undoubtedly makes the young wizards yearn for the party even more.

It's a pity that the vast majority of students don't get an invitation, so they can only count on those who receive an invitation to be willing to take them with them-

Professor Slughorn allows each young wizard who is invited to bring a companion.

Hallie and Hermione undoubtedly received invitations from the professor, but the two of them digested each other internally, and simply chose to go together, so they didn't have to think about the invitation anymore.

This made the other students lament.

At the Christmas ball at last year's Final Six Tournament, Harley invited Hermione because she didn't have anyone to look at.

As a result, this year came again, as long as you are not blind, you can see the level of your eyebrows.

Is it really completely in line with the national conditions of Great Britain and staged a cabbage arch cabbage?

Why is there internal friction between resources? Heartache!

Other people's heartache is heartache, and Hallie must ignore it. You can't wronged your X orientation for others, right?

At the very least, this is torturing yourself and making yourself unhappy, and at the very least, what if there is a problem with the play and it goes out of control?

Therefore, Harry's actions are really righteous, in order to prevent her Dao heart from being shattered, and her extraordinary characteristics from getting out of control and causing disaster to everyone!

…………

On the day of the Christmas party, seven o'clock in the evening.

In Gryffindor's bedroom, Hermione was helping Harley straighten her waist-length hair.

Harley can obviously mobilize her extraordinary ability to directly tidy up that long hair.

But she deliberately concealed this, enjoying the comfortable feeling of Hermione brushing her hair with her palm gently brushing the ends of her hair.

"Are you wearing a little too much...... Grand up? Hermione looked at Hallie's clothes as she applied hair care products.

Hallie wore a moon-white silk blouse tonight, with a high-waisted white gauze skirt studded with countless colored diamonds, embellished with stars.

She was also uncharacteristically decorated, with a pale gold necklace around her neck, ending in a bright silver gemstone.

The gem gives a hazy feeling, as if the solid shell carries a silver light veil, invisible flowing water.

Harley had white silk gloves on her hands, and a black jewel ring was securely placed on the middle finger of her left hand.

Whenever Hermione saw the ring, her face turned red involuntarily, and she felt that Harley was hinting at something to her.

"Is there one? It's okay. Harley didn't notice Hermione's expression, but looked in the mirror admiring her dress,

"I think this is a good fit for tonight, after all, tonight is a very important party."

"Professor Slughorn's Christmas party is so important to you?" Hermione carefully braided her hair into a princess braid, and her tone was a little surprised,

"Professor Slughorn has had a lot of club dinners this semester."

"But I remember you never visited, and every time you used the excuse of doing magic research with me."

Hallie smiled and instead of answering directly, she changed the subject:

"Isn't it the same as me? The clothes I picked out with my own hands look good. ”

Hermione wore an ocean-blue one-shoulder V-neck dress tonight, with no over-embellishment, just a belt around her waist and stars on the lace edges at the bottom of the skirt.

The unkempt hair had also been carefully trimmed by Harley and held in place with a bright silver hairpin, now supple and snuggling against Hermione's back.

"Didn't I dress like this to match you?" Hermione remembered the previous dressing scene, and her face suddenly turned even redder,

"Also, you have to let me wear this long dress!"

Harley couldn't help but laugh, and when it came to dressing up, Hermione was reluctant at first, thinking it was too much of a waste of time.

It's just an ordinary Christmas party, what are you doing with all these things?

But she was purely upright, and when Hallie really took her clothes and approached Hermione with a "Y smile" on her face, Hermione didn't even have a symbolic resistance, and directly stretched her body obediently, at the mercy of Hallie.

"Alright, get dressed." Hermione took two steps back, appreciating her results with satisfaction.

"The king's beloved concubine, help the king up." Harley lazily raised a hand.

Hermione was indifferent to this, and just gave Hallie a roll of the eye:

"Stand up on your own? I don't believe that if I don't help you, will you never get up? ”

"You don't even refute the title of Ai Fei, tsk."

Harley cleaned up the cosmetics on the table in front of her, and two silk threads pulled the chair back, forming an armrest out of thin air.

Hermione had already calmed down, but her face instantly turned red again.

She didn't think about it, she directly screamed and pounced: "Ahhhh ”

Unfortunately, her pounce had no deterrent effect, just made Harley feel like a kitten was spoiling her.

Hallie just smiled and spread her arms as she nudged her left foot into the chair where Hermione had been combing her hair.

Hermione didn't pay attention to her feet, and tripped over her chair, and when she came back to her senses, she was already picked up by Princess Hallie.

"Does Concubine Ai want this king to hold you so much?" Harley couldn't help but tease, "Actually, I don't mind just going to the Christmas party." ”

"Wait, are you blushing? Let me be well? ”

Before she could finish her sentence, Hermione forcibly blocked her.

After a long while, Hermione panted and broke the seal on Harley, "Hurry up and let me go!" If you don't leave, you'll be late! ”

…………

Although it was already a holiday at this time, few students were willing to leave.

After all, the Yule Ball a year ago left a very deep impression on everyone, and it was very memorable.

Many students wandered around Professor Slughorn's office, hoping to run into a young wizard who had received Professor Slughorn's invitation but didn't bring a companion with him, and that would give them a chance to sneak in.

When Hallie and Hermione appeared at the top of the stairs, there was an exclamation around them.

Many little witches feel a pang in their hearts, how are we inferior to Hermione? My sister came to see me, give me a meeting!

Oblivious to the noise around them, the two of them quickly moved along the path that the crowd had consciously moved out of the way, into Professor Slughorn's office.

This office has been cast with a Traceless Stretching Charm, so it is much larger than a normal office and looks unusually spacious.

The ceiling and walls of the room are covered with draperies of bright red, emerald green, sky blue, and earthy yellow, as if it were a large tent.

The drapery is also painted with the representative animals of each college, so that all the participants can have a sense of belonging.

The ceiling was lit up by a golden lantern, and in the lantern there were fingernail-sized elves flickering, each elf was a bright point of light.

Melodious singing could be heard from all corners of the room, as if someone was using a mandala bell to accompany the party, but there was no one to see when you looked at the sound.

A few talkative wizards held pipes, chatting and spitting clouds, their heads covered in puffs of green smoke.

The house-elves swiftly weaved through the crowd, dragging heavy silver trays of various beverages like mobile tables.

It was freezing outside, but there were so many wizards in the room at this time that it even gave people a crowded and stuffy feeling.

"Oh, Harley, my dear child!" As soon as Hallie stepped through the door, Professor Slughorn shouted,

"And Hermione, welcome! Come in, come in, there are so many people for you to meet! ”

Professor Slughorn wears a white smoking shirt and an expensive velvet hat adorned with various ornaments.

There were several middle-aged people around him, and Hallie had caught a glimpse of some acquaintances.

"Good evening, Professor." Harley first greeted Professor Slughorn, and then greeted the middle-aged wizards around her.

"Mr. Damocles, long time no see! Ms. Jones, I missed ...... last time."

Harley skillfully greeted the wizards, and the adult wizards outside the school responded with smiles.

Occasionally, when he meets someone he doesn't know, Professor Slughorn will take the initiative to introduce the two parties, and point out the identity of the other party intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Harley was very young, at least a generation below the group of wizards in front of her, everyone was very friendly.

Many of them had been communicating with Harley for two or three years, and they had been discussing magic for so long, and they were already old acquaintances.

And for those who don't know Harley yet, who would refuse such a promising genius girl?

"Oh, yes, Harley." Professor Slughorn suddenly remembered something,

"I had invited old Toulouse, but he's been too busy lately to come from France."

Toulouse is the name of Fleur's father, Mr. Delacour.

"That's a shame." Harry's expression changed slightly,

"The way we discussed the improvement of the compound decoction last time, I obviously want to discuss it offline with Mr. Delacour again."

"That's a shame." Professor Slughorn chuckled, "But someone came in place of old Toulouse." ”

Before she could savor what that meant, Harley suddenly felt a pound on her back.

"Hallie~!" A stream of heat caressed Harley's ears, "Did you miss me?" ”

The smile on Hallie's face stiffened for a moment.
