Harry's Cottage.

Helena was left alone in the deserted room.

She's never felt lonely since she moved in, even though she was often the only one sitting by the window, looking at the sky, with no one to talk to.

But today, she felt that the room was extremely cold.

She turned her head to look at the fireplace, where the wood was barely halfway burning, and the flames were blazing.

There is some melancholy and loneliness in my heart for no reason.

She thought about it for a moment, maybe it was because Harry was leaving for the holidays today, even if it was just over two weeks away.

"I've survived a thousand years of chaos, and I've never felt like time is long, but now, it's just a short vacation...... Alas......"

"It's a strange feeling...... Where's the good about Harry......? And bullying herself all day long......" Helena's eyes were stunned.

She hunched over and stood beside Harry's bed, packing his things for his suitcase.

The skirt dragged down the hips to the ground, and the posture was reverie.

A few strands of transparent curls fell, and Helena naturally brushed them behind her ears.

Her hand suddenly stiffened, and she looked at the hair in her hand steadily, and she didn't know what it felt like: "I almost forgot that I was a ghost." ”

Helena walked over to Harry's bedroom window and picked up a picture of Harry and Astoria grimacing, her hand resting on the framed glass and looking out.

In the courtyard, at the bulletin board, a group of students braved the heavy snow, gathered there, not knowing who had posted something on it.

"We're back, Sister Helena. Just as Helena was distracted, Astoria's voice rang out from outside.

Helena hurriedly put the picture back in its place and walked out of Harry's bedroom.

"You ......," Helena looked at the suitcase floating behind Harry.

"Isn't there only the Hogwarts Express at night?" Helena suddenly thought that Harry would apparition, and he didn't need to take the train, he could leave at any time, "Are you going to leave now?"

"I haven't finished packing your bags yet. ”

"Wait......" Harry suddenly called out to Helena, who wanted to enter his room and continue to pack her clothes.

Puzzled, Harry asked, "Who told you I'm leaving?"

"Aren't you leaving? Isn't it Christmas holiday? So what are you ......doing?" Helena's heart jumped, and she was suddenly happy, but her mood became sad at the thought of her decision just now.

"Of course I don't go, the only places I can live are here and the Leaky Cauldron Bar, I still have something to do at school, so naturally I have to stay at school. ”

Harry said, "Or do you want me to go quickly?"

"No, no, no. Helena said quickly.

"Let me find out again, you have this kind of thought, hmph, I'll ...... Spank your ass into eight petals. ”

Unexpectedly, this time Helena didn't cover her hips shyly, but tilted her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, and said unconvinced: "You have the ability to fight." ”

Harry: "......"

Zhang Qiu and Hermione looked at Harry with dangerous eyes.

“...... Cough...... You put Zhang Qiu's things in the other bedroom first, and she will live with us in the future. Zhang Qiu, don't you really want to reconsider? My bed is really big and soft. ”

Astoria nodded: "Yes, especially my brother's arms are the most comfortable." ”

Zhang Qiu blushed and said, "You haven't even reached the age of fourteen." ”

For some reason, Hermione's eyes suddenly wandered, and no one noticed.

......

Harry had treated Helena as a servant, unceremoniously.

Poor ghost.

Unexpectedly, after death, he would be exploited by Zhou Papi.

How sad it would be for Rowena Ravenclaw to see her daughter come and go as soon as she was called.

Helena heard Harry's words, but didn't obey her to work.

She bit her lip and said, "I have something to say. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Harry.

"I, I'm leaving. ”

"Where are you going?" said someone frowned.

"I'm a ghost, and I shouldn't have too much contact with the living. Helena turned her face to Harry, leaving Harry with a beautiful silhouette, her eyebrows lowered, "I'm moving out of here." ”

Harry's expression was grim as he took two steps forward, and Helena was forced to take two steps back.

"You...... What are you going to do!" Helena stopped on the couch, nervous, forgetting that she was a ghost who could penetrate objects.

"Wait a minute. Harry said to Zhang Qiu and Hermione.

With a cold face, Harry pulled Helena, who had tried to resist but to no avail, into her room, and the door was slammed shut.

Hermione and Zhang Qiu looked at each other.

After a while, a woman's crying and loud crackling sound came from the room.

The voice was mournful, tortuous, and choked from time to time.

"Don't ...... Woo...... I was wrong, it hurts ......."

"I'm never going to go again...... Spare me...... Woohoo......"

Hermione, Zhang Qiu is restless, Harry won't take her ......

For a long time......

The door was opened again.

Helena followed Harry, looking at him in fear, her hands on her hips.

She sobbed, her long eyelashes were covered with tears, as clear as a hibiscus out of water, and the tears lingered on her white skin, reluctantly flowing, and then merged into her body.

Helena looked a little embarrassed and panicked when she saw Zhang Qiu and Hermione.

It's like a little maid who was pampered by the old man just now, and saw two genuine ladies.

Zhang Qiu suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Helena was the ghost of Ravenclaw Academy, and she never thought that the haughty ghost would become like this.

......

Snowflakes are flying.

Hogwarts bulletin board.

There were a lot of footprints scattered around, and the snow was gone.

The dirty, old bulletin board has been replaced with a new, larger wooden sign.

The reason why the students are still gathered here at this time is because a new piece of parchment has been nailed to it.

It's not Helena's holiday start notice.

It was written by a student.

Three big words at the top: [Challenge Book]

"To Professor Sybil Trelawney:"

"I will use what I learned in my arithmetic divination class to challenge your abilities revealed in your divination class and the tenmu that you are proud of. ”

"If you lose, you're a liar, and leave Hogwarts immediately. ”

"If you win, I apologize for 10,000 gold galleons. ”

"Time: Christmas noon. ”

"Location: Great Hall - All Hogwarts professors will be witnesses. ”

"We look forward to your arrival. ”

—Hermione Granger. ”

The words on the parchment, which rotate on the paper every once in a while, form two cartoon characters, Hermione and Trelawney, who are holding wands and striking each other, and the words burst like sparks. Then rearrange it into sentences.

When the surrounding circle of students finished reading the content on the parchment, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Horror, horror. ”

"It's also so exciting, students challenge professors. ”

A certain Quidditch fanatic began to convert gold galleons into something he could understand: "Ten thousand gold galleons! It's scary, I was reading Quidditch Weekly the other day, and it said that the Department of Magical Sports and Sports was arguing over whether or not to pay for the national team to buy seven firebow arrows." This 10,000 gold galleons is enough to buy more than 20 firebow arrows!"

One of the wizards swallowed, "If I had so many Galleons, I would have to deposit them in the goblins' Gringotts bank immediately!"

"You're thinking about peaches. ”

"It's long overdue to get this crook out. A senior girl said angrily: "I was told that I was going to die in three years." Because of her nonsense, my family has taken me all over the world to find a way to lift the curse of fate. ”

"Later, when the time came for me to die, she had foretold me, and I still had nothing to do. ”

"Guess what she said? She said, 'I don't expect your gratitude—because you have no idea how much I have done to save your poor life. 'f~k~, brazen!'

"Is it possible for Granger to win, though?" Trelawney had been babbling all day long, and had barely learned anything from her. But she was also recruited into the school by Professor Dumbledore, and stayed in the school for more than ten years. You can't have some real power, right?"

"Hermione Granger is only in the third grade, although they all say that she is very smart, but she should have only studied arithmetic and divination for half a year, how good can she be?" ”

Listening to his eloquent words, it seemed as if Hermione had lost the challenge.

"Anyway, I wish I could teach Trelawney a lesson. I'm fed up with her pretending to know everything all day. ”

"I didn't expect to have such an interesting thing on vacation. ”

"It's a pity that on Christmas Day, I'm going home, and I can't eat such a big melon. ”

"Hehe, it's okay to go home this year anyway, I'm going to stay here and watch the show. ”

More and more people are being attracted to it.

Everyone has their own opinions.

There are supportive, some ridiculed, some angry, and some who eat melons......

......

Trelawney actually bluffed a lot of people with her tricky performance.

On the notice board, the few wizards who were dead set on her had already begun to quarrel with wizards who didn't like her.

It looks like it's going to develop into wands pointing at each other.

Lavender and Parvati arrived, and the two of them were Trelawney's big fans (dun).

The kind of brain-dead powder.

They had already listened to Trelawney, and Trelawney believed everything.

They squeezed into the innermost layer and waited until they saw what was written on the parchment.

His face changed.

"How dare she!"

"Unforgivable!"

The two men were angry, as if the God in their hearts had been slandered.

But Parvati suddenly exclaimed, "I remember, Professor she once prophesied, that she would receive a gift from the goddess of wealth." ”

"Is that what you're referring to?"

The two looked excited: "It must be so!"

"Oops, why did you tear it off......" Suddenly Parvati reached out and ripped off the piece of paper pinned to the bulletin board.

Parvati gave them a disdainful look, "I tell you, we're going to send this to Professor Trelawney, who will definitely show up on Christmas Day." ”

"Granger, just wait to be the laughing stock of the school. The two were full of confidence and walked away.
