A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 72: Christmas dinner
Felix did not expect that there would be unexpected gains.
Combined with Malfoy's words, he realized that Malfoy didn't bring the diary to school—he was just an unlucky guy who picked up the diary after the second attack.
Now, he can finally be sure.
Felix nodded, turned to leave, and suddenly heard Luna's ethereal voice behind him——
"Christmas gift."
He turned and looked at her, "What?"
Luna said solemnly, "I suddenly realized that I haven't prepared a Christmas gift for you yet. I met you too hastily." She unhurriedly rummaged through her pockets. , took out a string of strange-looking bracelets.
She said rather regretfully, "I made it myself. I was going to make a pair." She held out her hand and gave it to Felix.
Felix didn't know why he reached for it, but he did.
Luna skipped away.
When Felix returned to the office, he was still holding the bracelet in his hand. He leaned back in the chair and seriously thought about how he should return the gift.
I always feel that ordinary gifts don't fit her temperament very well...
In the end, he dug out a "Selected Collection of World Jokes" from his collection of books, and somehow felt that it would match that little witch named Luna very well. Watching the disappearing figure of the owl, he refocused on the new information.
Gryffindor, flaming hair, first-year freshman, these characteristics combined, he almost concluded that he was a child of the Weasley family, whose red hair was quite famous.
And he also heard his assistant mention that the youngest member of the Weasley family - Ron's sister will be enrolled this year.
So, this matter went around and around, how did it get involved with the trio again?
He recalled that he had indeed encountered a few red-haired little witches in the early days, and the locations were quite sensitive—either near Hagrid's hut, or the abandoned girls' bathroom.
Felix was thoughtful, this is another direction of investigation. He wondered who brought the diary, and whether he had any similar, redundant stock - the younger version of the Dark Lord was wary of saying a word about his relationship with Slytherin, which made his Some ideas got stuck.
As it was getting dark, Felix came to the auditorium. From a long distance, he saw the colorful and beautifully decorated venue. In addition to the ones he saw in the morning, there were more than a dozen floating lanterns near the ceiling, constantly throwing colorful lanterns from the gap that looked like a mouth. fireworks.
He saw the figure of the trio, among them Ron waved at him excitedly - Felix guessed that it might be the reason for the gift he gave, but before he had time to think about it, Dumbledore was greeting him, he walked over.
The headmaster is very formally dressed tonight, and it's also fun. His long beard was tied with purple and red ribbons in the shape of a gourd. "Happy holidays, Felix."
"You too, Headmaster Dumbledore."
Dumbledore blinked and whispered, "I received your gift, which is very unique. I haven't had time to read that book, but just from the name, I know it's worth reading."
"I'm glad you liked it."
With a burst of "cracking" Filipard fireworks resounding through the auditorium, the banquet officially began.
As the principal, Dumbledore led the crowd to sing a few cheerful Christmas carols, and then announced with a smile, "Eat as much as you want, and fill your stomachs."
Foods of various shapes suddenly appeared, including roast turkey, small sausages, gravy, pork chops, kidney pie, peas with butter, baked bread, etc., which were extremely rich.
The little wizards huddled together, and the fork passed across the dining table, bringing out afterimages.
Felix also put aside all his troubles and feasted.
Hagrid recommended him a Hogwarts special eggnog. Felix tasted it, it was sweet and sour, and the alcohol taste was not very strong. He drank a few more glasses.
On the side, Lockhart shook his head, his wavy curly hair trembling.
Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were talking in low voices, laughing "giggle" from time to time.
After eating seventy percent full, everyone finally had time to chat, and the sound of "buzzing" echoed in the auditorium. Felix picked up a piece of raisin pudding with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his assistant leading the two little wizards tiptoe out of the auditorium.
Interesting, are they going to do something?
On the other end, Hermione held up two chocolate cakes and announced her plan, "I put ordinary stun potions in here, you just have to make sure Crabbe and Goyle find them - they will definitely eat them Yes, when they fall asleep, you pull out a few hairs of both of them, and then hide them in the broom cupboard."
Ron and Harry looked at each other, they felt that there were various loopholes in this plan. Ron asked her, "What about you, Hermione?"
"I already have mine! Remember the dueling club? Millicent wrestled with me, and I fought desperately... Anyway, I got her hair."
Hermione left to see what happened to the Polyjuice Potion, leaving Harry and Ron to complete the task ~IndoMTL.com~ To be honest, I don't think it's possible. "Ron said sadly.
Harry didn't hold out much hope either.
But they could only shrink in the shadows, staring intently at the entrance of the auditorium.
After a while, the bored Harry asked Ron in a low voice, "When are you going to ask Professor McGonagall for leave?"
"The sooner the better," Ron said without hesitation, "I can't wait to have a new wand, Professor Happe is so sweet!"
Felix simply and rudely sent him seven Galleons and a note that briefly read "Noticing that your wand is damaged, I suggest you buy a new one, otherwise you will not be able to participate in the next semester It’s dueling class. Another: it’s a reward for your courage.”
What Harry got was a copy of "Duel Book", which was one of the reference books for Felix to compile dueling course textbooks.
Therefore, the two also knew that Professor Heppe had taken over Lockhart's Dueling Club, they had discussed it privately, and they both looked forward to his courses.
"I just hope that the new dueling class will not have Snape's shadow." Harry said hopefully.
The dinner party has lasted for more than an hour, and the little wizards left one after another. Felix is still talking to Professor Flitwick about the magic manuscript he sent, "That ancient magic is very interesting, a bit like the shrink spell and the enlargement spell. A combination of spells."
Professor Flitwick said, "It is said that these two curses evolved from it. I did see some similarities, but it may also be a coincidence."
The two decided on a time, and they planned to wait for Felix to study for a period of time before conducting detailed academic discussions.
In the lively and noisy atmosphere, Felix's first Christmas dinner at Hogwarts came to an end.
