Chapter 96: It's Christmas Again

The hallway leading to the school infirmary was unusually quiet, save for the clatter of Zhang Xiao and Malfoy as they walked.

"Zhang, why did you become like this?" Malfoy felt that his brain was running out, and he couldn't figure out why Snape would suddenly and unreservedly support him.

However, the suspension was revoked, which still made him secretly happy.

Zhang Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he was silent for a while, deciding not to tell Malfoy the heavy truth, how much pressure he had to endure the moment he pulled out his wand.

Parental and social, and from all sides

I'm afraid the pony still hasn't figured out what a shocking act he's made as the sole heir to the Malfoy family, the former extreme pure-blood banner.

"Fortunately, Mom and Dad are now in China, they are very happy, fortunately, with Dumbledore and you, with you, I believe that the decadent and backward atmosphere in the wizarding world will definitely be able to change.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind. ”

Zhang Xiao looked at Malfoy who was still babbling a little stunned, the little young master's face was pale, and it was obvious that he was afraid and worried in his heart.

It turned out that he had always known that he was also afraid, but he chose to face his fear, and that was it.

Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered the best friends of Gryffindor and Slytherin - Gryffindor would not be friends with cowards.

The little celestial master suddenly laughed, he patted Malfoy's shoulder, and pinched him hard:

"Draco, be yourself, I'll be by your side."

"Hermione! Hermione! ”

Harry and Ron suddenly rushed over, they sat down next to Hermione breathlessly, cautiously glanced up at Mrs. Pince, who was staring at her with stern eyes, and whispered in a low voice:

"Have you heard?"

Hermione lifted her head from the book and asked suspiciously, "What did you hear?" ”

Not far away, Victor Krum picked up a book with a straight face and walked towards Mrs. Pins.

"Malfoy!" Ron said excitedly, "A civil war broke out in Slytherin, and Malfoy and some of his students fought against those extreme purebloods. ”

Harry said regretfully, "By the time I know it's over, and it's in the common room, or I'll be able to teach those pesky purebloods a good lesson." ”

Hermione covered her mouth, her eyes wide:

"Fighting? Has anyone been hurt? ”

"It's spectacular! The entire infirmary is full! ”

"Oh my God, this is a vicious incident, according to the school rules—" Hermione said hurriedly, and in an instant, the entire Hogwarts school rules had already gone through in her mind.

Harry and Ron gloated together, nothing was happier than seeing those obnoxious guys get out of luck.

"It's okay Hermione, Snape doesn't know what went crazy, he let Malfoy go, but instead took the extreme purebloods away, and it is said that he taught him a good lesson."

"Nothing? That's good—" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the book again, much to the disappointment of Ron and Harry.

It was because of Hermione's fight, and her reaction was so flat, but Hermione was obviously unwilling to continue discussing the matter.

The two little wizards had no choice but to leave in a huff and devote themselves to the heated discussions of the other little wizards.

Seeing Harry and Ron disappear in the doorway, Hermione immediately put down the book and put her hands on her face, only to feel that it was very hot and let out a sigh.

The little witch's hairy hair was flicked around, and girls were usually a little more precocious than boys, like Harry and Ron, who hadn't really figured out what it was like to like them.

Harry and the little Slytherin girl seemed more like they couldn't resist each other's enthusiasm.

What about Ron? Hermione sighed, maybe Ron didn't even notice it, he was only interested in being beautiful or older than him, such as when he whispered to Harry that he had a crush on Romersta, the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks.

It's a pity that he heard it, and then his favorite now is Fleur, and he dreams of being able to invite Fleur to be a dance partner, but it should be difficult.

Because many people have already tried it, Fleur says that she also likes to be a little more mature, and by implication, she also likes to be bigger than herself.

Not to mention Cedric, who has a deep relationship with Cho Chang, and Neville and Luna have a pretty good relationship.

Among the few friends, Zhang was undoubtedly everyone's trustworthy object, and Hermione felt like a very reliable big brother to him, and she could clearly feel that Zhang seemed to be standing taller than everyone else.

Whether it was Malfoy, Harry, Ron, or even the eldest Cedric, Zhang was like an elder, and he had more of a caring and teaching attitude towards them.

In this case, you wouldn't have any other thoughts, and Hermione could feel that Zhang was looking at herself like a child.

It's weird, Hermione thinks so, she's the same age as us, why does it always feel like Zhang has been taking care of us?

And what about yourself?

"Hermien—" A low, thick-accented voice rang out, and Hermione's reverie was interrupted, and she looked up in surprise.

But he saw Victor Krum standing in front of him and looking down at him.

"Can I—may—invite you—to be my dance partner?" Krum spoke slowly, trying to make himself clearer.

Even in the library, the surrounding little wizards couldn't help but burst into screams and irrepressible whispers, and Mrs. Pince simply jumped up and glared at the little wizards below as if she had triggered some alarm.

But there were too many chattering voices, even if she had already put on the most stern expression, but the little wizard who was immersed in eating melons ignored her completely.

In Krum's expectant gaze, Hermione suddenly smiled, and she showed a sweet smile that she had never seen before:

"I'm sorry, I already have a dance partner."

A storm that shook the whole school dissipated under the strong suppression of McGonagall and Snape.

Dumbledore only sighed deeply when he found out, fully respecting Snape's decision.

But the aftermath of this turmoil still deeply shocked everyone who knew it.

As the once extremely pure-blooded Malfoy family, the richest man in the wizarding world, the Malfoy family actually has a lot of influence.

In such an extremely pure-blooded banner, the next generation of family heirs, Draco Malfoy, openly expressed his affection for Muggle-born witches.

It still deeply shocked everyone who was a little sensitive.

They are really aware of one thing, maybe the wind direction of the wizarding world is really about to change.

Heavy snow fell on the castle and grounds.

Beauxbatons' light blue carriage looked like a large pumpkin in the winter, and next to the gingerbread house sprinkled with frosting was Hagrid's cabin; The sides of the big Durmstrang were covered with ice, which became smooth and translucent, and the saillines were stained with a layer of hoarfrost.

The young wizards from other schools live in their own tools, and occasionally a few Hogwarts wizards who have become friends with them will be invited to visit these new places.

Beauxbatons was the best to live in in their fuss-filled narratives, with one of the young wizards emphasizing that he had seen a bathtub the size of a single swimming pool in one room.

As for who the owner of this bathtub is, the result is naturally self-evident.

The Castrobusches are treehouses and fun to live in, with the most jaw-dropping being Cordos Dorez, who pitch their tents and often have snowball fights in the snow with their upper bodies naked.

Vagado's moon ship was simple, similar to a magic office, and the little wizards who had been to both places described it as 'as simple as an empty house', with nothing but beds spread on the ground.

Ilvermorny lived directly in the castle because of her connection to Hogwarts.

The Christmas holidays are coming, and because no one chooses to go home for Christmas this year, Hogwarts castle is particularly lively.

Everywhere there were noisy little wizards who had no energy to vent, and Fred and George's canary biscuits were selling well, and in the first day or two of the holiday, someone would suddenly suddenly grow feathers all over their bodies.

However, the young wizards of Hogwarts soon learned their lesson and were very wary of the food handed to them, lest a piece of canary biscuit be hidden in the middle.

But as time went on, there was a lot of interest in the cookies, and Hermione felt that these seemingly simple canary cookies were actually very difficult.

"It's not a simple transformation, think about it, it's a human body transformation, it requires a fairly high level of transformation skills, it's just a cookie."

Hermione took the biscuit and said regretfully:

"If George and Fred can concentrate on their studies, I don't think it's difficult for them to be all-o."

Everyone thought that it had been a few days since the last conflict, and several people in the club tacitly did not mention it, neither Malfoy nor Hermione could see anything unusual, as if it had nothing to do with them.

It is worth mentioning that Ron's self-confidence has been greatly improved in this life, and he really invited Furong generously, and the result was similar to what Zhang Xiao thought.

Fleur giggled for a moment before she said in her hoarse voice that she liked people about her age or older.

However, Beauxbatons, another very good-looking girl, admired Ron and offered to be Ron's dance partner.

Looking at the French beauty who was 3 years older than him, Ron fell without the slightest resistance.

Tsk, man!

Zhang Xiao shook his head, it seems that Ron will not lack girls in his life.

The stove in the dormitory crackled, and as the only dormitory under water, Slytherin had the privilege of lighting a stove in the dormitory.

The industrious house-elves lit a fire in their fires before the young wizards woke up, so that the cold, damp underwater dormitories could be warmed.

Zhang Xiao opened her eyes, but did not hear the familiar snoring, and then remembered that Crabbe and Goyle were both involved in the conflict in Slytherin, and unfortunately, the two of them were still villains this time.

At the moment, he was still lying in the school infirmary, yawning and getting up from the bed, his feet unconsciously pulling on his slippers.

This year's gifts are far less than usual, and at most less than a third of last year's gifts.

Maybe it was this year's Hogwarts Warriors who helped him share the firepower, but Zhang Xiao hoped that after three years of temptation, those crazy girls finally gave up their unrealistic fantasies.

No more gifts for yourself, especially chocolates and snacks mixed with aphrodisiac, please, are you snacks with aphrodisiac?

There are a lot of aphrodisiacs that are about to flow out!

What's more, just pour all the drinks in the drink and replace them with aphrodisiacs!

"Early—"

Malfoy rubbed his eyes and greeted him sleepily, and soon his drowsiness was driven away by a mountain of gifts.

"Why are there so many?"

He shouted in surprise and joy, this is the first time, his gift is similar to Zhang, and it seems that it will be a little more.

Why, in addition to the blessing of being a warrior, the Slytherin civil war that caused a sensation in the whole school also greatly added a wave of points to Malfoy, and now many young wizards at Hogwarts think he is very manly.

Even those who didn't like him had to admit that Malfoy did something about it.

Zhang Xiao picked out a few gifts, Harry still gave Quidditch supplies this year, and now Harry is famous, and his classic replay of beating Krum has sold a staggering 200,000 copies.

This is really an astronomical amount, and under Sirius's control and Dumbledore's deterrence, the magic projection company obediently gave a large share.

It is said that the world's most famous Quidditch teams are eagerly waiting for Harry to graduate, and once they graduate, they will immediately rush to join their club on extremely favorable terms.

The British public strongly demanded that Harry be included in the English Quidditch national team, and in short, Harry's performance in the first round had already attracted the world's attention.

This is not by virtue of that ethereal title of savior, but by himself.

In short, Harry's coffers have been upgraded from three digits to two digits, a proper super-rich second generation.

So this year's gift is particularly dazzling - his own figure, yes! Harry gave him his figurine!

This figure is the first round of the competition, he will reproduce the classic scene in the miniature arena, Zhang Xiao watched Krum as a foil fell to the ground again and again.

I secretly mourn in my heart for this Bulgarian pursuit, it's really miserable!

followed by Ron's gift, which was also a figure, Zhang Xiao's heart jumped, should it be.

"Like it? Hey, my idea! Malfoy grinned, smiling very happily.

Zhang Xiao pinched his waist and watched the miniature statues of several friends ride broomsticks to fight a hideous dragon, and sure enough, Harry, Hermione, Cedric, and Neville all gave their figurines.

In the end, it comes together to recreate the entire first round of projects.

"It's good, it's memorable." Zhang Xiao nodded, she really liked this gift: "By the way, what did you receive?" ”

Malfoy looked at his gifts, because he was not short of money, so few people gave him expensive gifts, most of them were more memorable.

For example, Harry gave him a photo album, which was full of photos of their battle in the Dueling Club, Malfomo was holding the cover of the album, just the content on the viewer, and the smile on his face couldn't stop blooming, obviously falling into those good memories.

Ron's gift was bulging, and when it was opened, it was a handwritten letter: "I asked my mother to knit a sweater for you this year, as well as two large boxes of gummies, and Zhang said that you like to eat it." ”

"Cut, Weasley gave him a sweater and candy, who likes it." Malfoy shook off his emerald green sweater, and with a big silver M on his chest, he opened the candy box with his hand, and threw the fudge into his mouth.

Hehe, then you don't want to wear it!

Zhang Xiao squinted at Malfoy and happily put the sweater on his body, and asked him if he looked good, phew!

In the end, it was Hermione's, I didn't expect Malfoy, a stingy guy, to stuff the gift into a small satchel!

Heavy color and light friends, seeing that the color is forgetful, Zhang Xiao silently complained and began to pull the remaining gifts.

Finally found Dumbledore's gift in a pile of packaging, he held a very mini gift wrapping, and always felt that Dumbledore was perfunctory.

But then, Zhang Xiao remembered the gifts she had given to the professors, especially Professor Snape.

He's going to like it, right?

In the dark basement classroom, there were few pitiful gifts on the ground.

Snape looked at Batman's cape in his hand and fell into deep thought.
