The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

As we enter the end of December, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Not only was Hogwarts Castle put on a silver coat, but even the flow of people inside the castle became much thinner.

Of course, it’s not the cold snap that really causes this phenomenon, but Christmas.

This Christmas, Link chose to stay at Hogwarts.

This is not only to continue to rely on the Tosgars to monitor Harry and the mouse Scabbers, but also to continue to practice Occlumency in seclusion.

After continuing high-intensity Occlumency training for about a month, Link's current Occlumency experience bar has increased from about 30% to 70%.

This is quite an achievement.

After all, daily use in the past half year has only increased the experience of Occlumency by 30%.

The only thing that makes Link regretful is that Emily went home for Christmas this year.

This is Mr. Victoria's mandatory requirement. It is estimated that if Emily is forced to stay in school, Mr. Victoria will definitely come directly to Hogwarts to rob her.

If converted to his previous life, Link's current situation should be that he would be celebrating the New Year alone in another place.

Very lonely.

Fortunately, Link, as a Chinese in the true sense, has no real feelings about Christmas.

And Emily and Mrs. Foley had not forgotten him.

For example, as soon as he woke up on Christmas morning, Link found that his bedside was already piled with gift boxes.

Most of them are snack cards sent by classmates, and some chocolates sent by admirers.

After Link opened these things, he put them aside without touching them much.

After all, it is something that enters the mouth. It would be terrible if someone mixed some magic potion like love potion in it.

This is not an unfounded concern of Link. Such poisoning incidents have happened many times in the history of Hogwarts, so much so that every Christmas, professors have to repeatedly tell students to be careful.

Mrs. Foley gave Link a custom-made potion armor belt this year.

This armor belt is much more fitting and comfortable than the one Link made last year.

And according to the greeting card that comes with the gift, each card slot on it has a flying spell attached.

This means that Link only needs to lightly output magic power during battle, and the potion will appear in his hand.

And Emily's gift is a bit interesting.

It was a teardrop-shaped potion pendant. According to Link's identification, the potion inside was almost certainly a blessing elixir.

At first, Link was a little confused about the gift Emily gave him.

But he soon recalled it.

When he was in second grade, he seemed to have given Emily such a blessing elixir pendant.

And Emily always wore this pendant around her neck and never took it off.

'So Emily is thinking about wearing a couple pendant with me?Or is it a declaration of sovereignty, just like some girls in previous lives tied rubber bands to their boyfriends' wrists? '

With this thought in mind, Link put on the pendant very simply and squeezed in with Yo-Yo.

Afterwards, Link continued to rummage through the pile of gifts to find the gift given by Snape.

This is the gift he looks forward to most.

As the top potion master in Europe, Snape would most likely give him some rare and unique potion books or strange potions.

Of course, he would have no objection if Snape continued to send elixirs of good fortune.

But until Link opened all the gifts, he still couldn't find Snape's exclusive gray gift box.

There was only one possibility for this to happen, and that was that Snape didn't give him a gift at all this year.

The reason was most likely because he was angry with Link.

"Tsk! What a stingy guy!"

After complaining a few words, Link, who had already gotten up late, realized that it was already afternoon.

On Christmas Day, he was not going to continue drinking nutritional supplements to satisfy his hunger, and was going to go to the kitchen to find something tasty to eat.

But when he actually left the Hufflepuff lounge, he unexpectedly found a familiar figure squatting in the corner reading a book.

"Hermione?"

Link shouted with a frown, while Hermione, whose legs were numb from squatting upon hearing this, couldn't stand upright and fell to the side.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

Link waved his wand at the right moment, allowing Hermione to regain her balance.

"Thank you, thank you."

Hermione said timidly, but there was a bit of regret in her eyes.

Rather than using magic spells, she wished that Link had rushed up to catch her with his arms.

Link waved his hand and said:

"Why are you here?"

'I've been wanting to talk to you for days!But you stay in your dormitory every day without even leaving the door!Then I can only come and squat on you! ? '

Hermione complained in her mind, but her face turned slightly red, and she took out a lunch box.

"I saw you didn't eat lunch, so I brought it here specially for you."

"Ah...that's great. Thank you very much."

After taking the lunch box, Link said with a somewhat unnatural expression on his face.

But the real embarrassment is yet to come.

Hermione showed no intention of leaving after delivering lunch, but just stood upright in front of Link.

This made Link a little overwhelmed.

"Phew! How about I show you the Hufflepuff lounge?"

Link thought for a long time before tentatively speaking.

Hearing this, Hermione's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

Link seemed to be shocked by Hermione's straightforwardness. He froze in place for a while, then opened the passage again and entered the Hufflepuff lounge with Hermione.

Then the two sat at the long table opposite the portrait of Ms. Hufflepuff, and Link chatted with Hermione while enjoying lunch.

Of course, Hermione was mainly the one doing the talking, and Link had no intention of explaining the Hufflepuff lounge to Hermione.

After all, by reading "Hogwarts: A School History" and other documents, Hermione knew Hufflepuff even better than some Hufflepuffs.

She just hasn't visited it in person.

Moreover, the lunch box that Hermione brought had a heat preservation charm attached to it. The hot food inside was very attractive to Link, so he just focused on eating.

Hermione didn't care much about this. She continued to talk to herself, and her two feet hidden under the long table trembled with joy.

"...Harry received a Firebolt this morning! This made all the boys extremely happy. It's a pity that not long after they were happy, Professor McGonagall came over and took the Firebolt away. That's why The broom with unknown origins was most likely sent by someone else to assassinate Harry, what do you think?"

Hermione spoke slowly, but after speaking, her eyes fell on Link's face, observing carefully.

"Professor McGonagall's concerns are very reasonable."

Link swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "That Firebolt was most likely given by Sirius Black. You must know that the Black family is a pure-blood family that has been around for a long time. They have the Golden Gallondo in Gringotts." Just like sea water.

And those goblins don't care whether Blake is a wanted criminal or not.Black could have used the check to buy Firebolts and give them away. "
