"That's a good thing."

Hearing Ron's words, George blinked, "Maybe you'll get a beautiful report card after the school year." ”

"Don't gloat." Ron yawned.

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, Harry also walked out of the dormitory, and Fred and George quickly changed the subject.

Cairon's joke was nothing, but they wouldn't say it to Harry's face.

Harry came up to Ron and greeted the crowd, "Merry Christmas, Fred, George, Kay...... Kyle? What did you come from. ”

He was a little surprised to see Kyle in the Gryffindor common room.

"A few minutes ago." Kyle laughed.

Ron only then noticed that there was an extra person around, "Sorry, I didn't even see ...... Thank you for the gift, I love that wizard chessboard. ”

"And the model of the Quidditch ball that was given to me." Harry said, "That's great. ”

"If you like it." Kyle said with a smile.

After being taken to the Gryffindor common room by Fred and George, Kyle stopped thinking about going to the Room of Requirement, where he spent the morning playing wizarding chess and crackling cards.

Ginny and Percy are also there, and Kyle is welcomed by everyone.

Percy was a little too formal, shaking Kyle's hand as if he were receiving a Hufflepuff delegation.

Kyle even wondered if he was dressed a little too casually at one point...... If he had known this, he should have put on phoenix socks.

In the afternoon, Harry and Ron were dragged by Hermione to the library to do their homework, and Kyle, along with Fred and George, made their way to Hogsmeade through the secret passages.

Each shop here is beautifully decorated, and Christmas gifts are prepared for customers who enter the store, such as Jokowi is a magical fireworks that blooms when you see water, and Duke Honey is a candy cane......

These gifts are hung right on the Christmas tree at the door, reachable and ready to be reached, and the owner will remind you if you forget.

The only bad thing is that they don't offer the business of "protecting Hogwarts students from detection".

Kyle had just taken a few sips of Butterbeer at Three Broomsticks when someone suddenly pushed the door open from the outside.

The next second,

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid...... Sinista ...... of Astronomy A total of seven or eight professors walked in one after another.

They also found the Kyle trio.

Professor McGonagall paused for a moment, then calmly walked past them as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Ms. Rosmerta, three pints of mead, cherry syrup soda......"

Kyle and the others all speed up their butterbeer drinks, trying to get out of here as quickly as possible.

However, just as they were about to pay, the barkeeper, Ms. Rosmerta, shook her head,

"No, Minerva has already paid for you, do you need something else?"

"No, no need!"

The three of them lowered their heads and hurriedly left the three brooms.

sneaked out of the school and was hit by a straight face, not to mention, and was treated by the professor...... It's embarrassing.

The three of them had no intention of playing any longer, and hurriedly returned to the castle.

"I forgot, it's Christmas."

After coming out of the secret passage, Fred grabbed his hair and said, "Professors obviously don't stay in the office to grade assignments. ”

"We shouldn't have gone with three broomsticks!"

"Thankfully, Professor McGonagall didn't say anything......"

Kyle also regretted that he should have ordered something expensive to drink if he had known that the professor was in for a treat.

For example, the signature of the three broomsticks, and a glass of Ogden gold mead in ten Galleons, Kyle has always wanted to taste what it tastes like.

……

At the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts, everyone ate with gusto.

There were very few people staying on campus this year, and it would be empty to sit separately, so only one table was left in the auditorium, and students and professors sat together.

Dumbledore led the group in singing some of his favorite Christmas carols, and as Hagrid poured glass after glass of eggnog, his voice grew louder and louder, until at last his voice was left in the Great Hall.

Fred sat next to Kyle, pointing to Percy's prefect badge and sneering, the words on it turned into "stupid" at some point, but Percy didn't notice at all, and kept asking the people around him what they were laughing at.

Malfoy didn't go back this year, and was sitting across from Harry at this time, mocking his new sweater in a loud voice, and surprisingly, Harry didn't talk back.

The dinner was sumptuous, especially the special Christmas pudding made by the house-elves this year.

It's like Bibi multi-flavored beans, and you can eat a different flavor in every bite, which is very distinctive.

After eating the pudding, Professor McGonagall was the first to leave the table, followed by Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Kyle wanted to leave, but was stopped by Dumbledore.

"If you have time, can you come with me to the office?"

"Of course, Professor." Kyle nodded though he was a little confused.

The two of them left the auditorium together, talking as they walked towards the principal's office.

Kyle didn't get his hands on the latest version of 500 Ways to Weave Wool Socks this year, so he gave Dumbledore a large bundle of wool.

Dumbledore looked pleased, though, and asked Kyle where he had bought the high-quality wool.

"It's the wool of the edelweiss, Professor." Kyle said, "Mr. Scamander has a bunch in his box, and I collected some of them when I went there in August. ”

"Is Newt there?" Dumbledore was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Is it a lot?" ”

"About thirty of them."

Dumbledore was even happier when he heard this.

Once on the eighth floor, the dripping stone beast jumped to the side from afar, and Dumbledore led Kyle into the headmaster's office.

The furnishings here were not much different from before, except for a large ball of woolen thread on the table, and a few woolen sweaters and half an unfinished scarf hanging from the Eris Magic Mirror in the corner.

The Headmaster of Hogwarts seems to have really become obsessed with knitting clothes, and is no longer limited to socks and gloves.

Kyle reckoned that the sweater inside his robe was also knitted himself.

"Professor, do you have anything to do with me?" Kyle asked.

"It's not me, it's Fawkes." Dumbledore sighed faintly, "He loves the cloak grass and eggplant flowers you gave me. ”

"Fawkes?" Kyle subconsciously looked at the perch in the doorway.

There stood a crumpled bird with a light red stubble...... It's ugly.

"Are you nirvana?"

Kyle walked over.

Little Fox nodded, then picked up a small bottle and placed it in Kyle's hand.

"What is this......" Kyle picks up the bottle and finds a small pile of black powder inside.

"The ashes left behind after the phoenix's nirvana are also Fox's Christmas gift to you." There was a slight ache in Dumbledore's voice.

He didn't expect Fox to hold such a grudge...... Isn't it that he didn't take it out during the holiday, but it has been remembered until now, and those Nirvana ashes have not been left for him at all.

It's just a matter of letting Snape take it, but Kyle is only thirteen years old, can he understand this kind of high-end goods?

What a waste.

Dumbledore sighed again.
