Chapter Seventy-Four: Christmas Eve

"Kyle, let's build a snowman!"

Fred and George greeted each other warmly and invited him to come over as well.

It's just that Kyle didn't hesitate to refuse.

Their art is too advanced, and the abstract style of shape, combined with the free and flexible line direction, all reveal an intriguing and mysterious atmosphere.

Kyle is just a layman, with average ability and limited level, how dare he not participate in such a great project.

He doesn't deserve it.

……

Not far ahead, a few Hufflepuff wizards were surrounding the edge of the Black Lake.

The heavy snow has caused a thick layer of ice to form on the black lake, and they are discussing whether to make a hole in the ice and catch some fish to make a delicious stargazing pie.

Nearby, a few students were having a snowball fight, and Kyle saw a Gryffindor senior sneak a rock into a snowball and throw it at a Slytherin.

It was just that his accuracy was a little off, and the special snowball cut an arc in mid-air, almost hitting Professor Oren who was passing by.

"Sir, be careful when you have a snowball fight, and don't mix the stones in it again."

Professor Oren flung the snowball aside with his wand, "Since you may have been careless, I won't deduct your points this time, but not the next one." ”

The Gryffindor nodded.

Everyone was having a good time, except for Filch, who was very annoyed.

Because the young wizards are not in the habit of shining their shoes, when they return to the castle after a snowball fight, they will leave a series of dirty footprints on the ground.

This has undoubtedly greatly increased Filch's workload.

Later, he simply moved a chair and sat at the gate of the castle, and only allowed the young wizards to enter the castle after they wiped their shoes.

In History of Magic class, Kyle fell asleep in just thirty seconds, and the quality of his sleep was even better than when he was in the dorm room.

If Connor hadn't pushed him at the end of class, Kyle estimated he would have slept until noon.

"People from both academies are sleeping......"

Connor rubbed her reddened eyes, as if she had just woken up, "Why can't the school have a new professor of the history of magic?" ”

"Probably Professor Binns doesn't need a salary." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and said.

Nothing else matters, and in this regard, Professor Binns is irreplaceable.

Not to mention that he is still open all year round, and he does not have all kinds of private affairs like other professors, and his attendance rate is maintained at 100% all year round, which is very stable.

In addition, the questions in the History of Magic exam are also very simple, as long as you read the textbook carefully before the exam, it is still no problem to get an "E".

So let alone the school director, even Headmaster Dumbledore would not agree to replace this chosen worker.

"This stingy old bee."

Kyle pursed his lips, disgraced by Dumbledore's relentless oppression of older professors.

……

As we enter December, the weather is getting colder and colder, but the little wizards have changed from the sluggishness of the previous month and are very excited every day.

Because the Christmas holidays are coming......

This means they are about to have a full two-week vacation.

In this atmosphere, it is difficult for students to concentrate on the class, and they always start to be in a daze when the class is in progress.

The professors would deduct a few points at first, trying to make them a little nervous, but it didn't have much effect.

It would probably work for a few minutes, and after a few minutes, they were back to their unlucky old appearance.

After discovering this, the professors simply didn't care much.

It's like this every year, they're used to it for a long time, and they won't talk about anything new before the holidays anyway, as long as it's not too much, they just turn a blind eye and don't see it.

Except, of course, two professors.

Professor Binns didn't care what Christmas it was, and in his history of magic class, he still spoke in that requiem-like tone about the invention of the self-agitating cauldron.

"The Auto-Mixing Cauldron is a crucible that is magically able to stir potions automatically, and was invented by Gaspard Singleton at the end of the 20th century, which he ......... for this"

As for the other, it was Professor Snape.

He doesn't care why his students are distracted, and he doesn't show mercy like other professors, as long as he is not a Slytherin person, he will be caught once for three points.

Thanks to his tireless efforts, by the day before Christmas, Slytherin's house score was already far ahead, even nearly a hundred points higher than that of second-placed Ravenclaw.

Professor Snape was very pleased with the result.

Slytherin's sixth consecutive title this year is stable!

The night before leaving school, Kyle ran into a panicked Hagrid in the auditorium.

It was the first time he had seen Hagrid since that night trip to the Forbidden Forest.

Mainly because of the lack of heart, the five of them have avoided Hagrid for the past month.

But now that it's happening, it's not good to pretend you didn't see it.

Kyle stepped forward and waved his hand, "Hagrid, how are you doing?" ”

"It's Kyle." Hagrid lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk to you right now, there's a lot of stuff left unprepared."

Merlin's beard, I forgot that Hogwarts was off tomorrow, and I always thought Halloween was just a few days away. ”

As he spoke, Hagrid continued to pause, striding towards the outside of the castle.

Kyle had to trot all the way to barely keep up with him.

"Need help?" Kyle asked.

"If you're not busy...... Hagrid thought for a moment, "can you help me get some decorative mistletoe?" It's going to be dinner soon, and I'm worried that it's a little too late. ”

"Absolutely."

Kyle and Hagrid make their way to the cabin next to the Forbidden Forest.

Not far away are two fir trees with a diameter of about sixty or seventy centimeters, as well as a small pile of holly and mistletoe.

"You can take the decorative plants, and I'll take the rest."

With that, Hagrid leaned down and struggled to pick up the two fir trees.

When Hagrid stood up, his face was red, and it was obvious that it was a very reluctant thing for him to pick up two trees at once.

At that moment, Hagrid suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!"

In the next second, he only felt a sudden lightness on his body, and the two fir trees seemed to be non-existent.

Hagrid turned his head to look at Kyle in surprise.

"Levitation Charm...... Terrific! ”

"You're exaggerating, Hagrid." Kyle shook his head and said, "Everybody can do that. ”

"Yes...... Is it? ”

Hagrid blinked in confusion, he remembered that he hadn't been like that when he was in school.

It's only been a few years, have all the new Hogwarts students become so good?
