Journey through the heavens from Hogwarts

At the Hogwarts dinner, everyone ate the sumptuous dinner in front of them. The decoration of the auditorium looked magnificent. There were not only more than a dozen Christmas trees covered with silver frost, but also crisscrossed mistletoe and holly on the ceiling. A frieze of flowers, but also enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling gently from the ceiling.

Lin Xiao felt that the people here seemed not to be disturbed by the basilisk incident at all!

Dumbledore also led them in singing some of his favorite Christmas carols, and Hagrid's voice became louder and louder as he downed glass after glass of eggnog.

Percy didn't notice that Fred had enchanted his prefect badge so that the words on it changed to "Idiot". Unknowingly, he stupidly kept asking everyone what they were laughing at.

Draco Malfoy, sitting at the Slytherin table, made gruff comments about Harry's new sweater, but Harry didn't care; he was used to it.

Lin Xiao was thinking that maybe he should change his plan, so that he could take advantage of the fact that there were not many students during the Christmas period to deal with the threat in the secret room.

Fortunately, Lockhart also stayed this time. After all, he still had to lead the team.

After the dinner, Lin Xiao did not choose to go to the third floor passage but went directly to the eighth floor. Although both places could reach the principal's office, he only knew the password for the eighth floor.

After passing the portrait of the troll beating Barnabas silly and Dean Flitwick's office, Lin Xiao arrived at the door of Dumbledore's office.

"Lemon drops!"

Last time, Lin Xiao was only focused on dealing with the Horcruxes and didn't take a good look at this spacious, beautiful circular room, which was full of all kinds of funny little sounds.On the tables with long spindly legs were many strange pieces of silverware, rotating, and on a separate table there was a strange stone basin that belched out small puffs of smoke.

The walls are covered with portraits of old principals, both men and women, snoring gently in their respective frames.

After seeing Lin Xiao come in, Dumbledore, who had already returned to the office, adjusted his round glasses, stared at Lin Xiao with his blue eyes, and said, "My child, do you want to take advantage of this time to deal with it?" There’s a threat in the secret room.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiao said seriously, "Yes, Principal Dumbledore, I want to handle this matter as soon as possible before the other students come back, otherwise if another attack occurs, the Ministry of Magic should come to the school to hold accountable. "

"Mr. Lin Xiao, your worries are not unreasonable, because I just received a message from the Ministry of Magic. The Minister of Magic, Fudge, told me that if a similar incident happens again after Christmas, they will rush to the rescue as soon as possible. Come here to investigate and deal with it. If it's serious, we will temporarily close Hogwarts!" Dumbledore raised his glasses and said seriously.

"I have tried my best to let Fox delay Nirvana. It is best to start taking action tomorrow night. I will let Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall quietly follow you to protect you." After speaking, Dumbledore touched the gold-plated stand on the Fox on a perch.

Lin Xiao looked at Fox, who was slightly younger than in the original work, and guessed that Fox should be in middle age at this time.

After all, we still have to rely on Fox to deliver the Sorting Hat and help blind the basilisk tomorrow. It is estimated that after finishing these things, Fox will speed up its nirvana!

Lin Xiao nodded and replied, "Professor Lockhart should go there with us tomorrow. He may have a small accident on the way."

"It's time for Girod to suffer some hardships. From what I know about him, he probably only has a Forgetting Curse left now. Most of what he learned in school has been returned to the teachers."

Obviously Dumbledore knew what Lockhart had done. If it weren't for the help of the Order of the Phoenix in the investigation, he would not have expected that a student from Ravenclaw could only know the Oblivion Charm by now.

Thinking of what Lockhart had done in school before, even Dumbledore felt a little headache. At that time, many teachers came over to complain to him, saying how did this famous student get into Ravenclaw? He should Go to Slytherin!

On Lin Xiao's way back to Ravenclaw, a small hand suddenly grabbed his arm tightly. Just as Lin Xiao was about to take out his wand, he found Hermione looking at him angrily and saying, "Where are you going today?" Lin Xiao? I've been looking for you all morning and I didn't see anyone, and I even specially prepared a Christmas gift for you!"

Lin Xiao looked at the angry little witch with an embarrassed expression. He was just about to find an excuse to fool him, but Hermione seemed to see his intention.

"No excuses, Lin Xiao. I have been preparing for this Christmas gift for a long time. I wanted to give you a surprise myself, but you disappeared!"

Seeing the furious Hermione, Lin Xiao quickly took her to a remote place. If anyone else saw her, he would probably be dead. He didn't have social anxiety.

"Okay, okay, I said. I snuck out and headed for Hogsmeade this morning."

Hermione said suspiciously, "How did you get out? Is there... is there a secret passage in the school that leads to Hogsmeade?"

"No, tell me where you were going and what you were doing?" Hermione, who was not worried about how to get out, asked.

"Of course I went there to find a suitable Christmas gift for you!" Lin Xiao replied wittily, and secretly took out a book "About the Release and Detailed Explanation of the Patron Saint Curse" from the storage space.

Hermione blushed with embarrassment after hearing this explanation. She took the book that Lin Xiao took out, held it in her hand, casually untied the scarf around her neck, and sent it over.

Under the gaze of the former, Lin Xiao unexpectedly tied it around his neck. He originally wanted to take it back and store it properly. After all, this was the first time he had received such a thoughtful gift.

"Thank you...I like this gift very much, Hermione," you didn't have to think twice to know that the little witch made it up herself, otherwise why would she be so angry.

Now the two of them just like each other and are more than friends, not lovers.

"Okay, it's time for me to go to the dormitory." Hermione said with some reluctance. After all, she hadn't seen Lin Xiao for almost the whole day.During the dinner, she couldn't save her face and sat on the Ravenclaw side, knowing that almost every college had some courageous students staying.

Lin Xiao thought for a while and finally said to Hermione, "We will start tomorrow night. Remember to bring Harry and the others to me early. By the way, pick something to talk to Harry and Ron when you go back."

"Why is it suddenly advanced?" Hermione asked in shock. She was a little confused, but she still nodded, "I know."

Lin Xiao explained, "It should be some timid little wizards who told their parents about the attacks at school. It should be those worried parents who wrote to the Ministry of Magic for accountability, and the Ministry of Magic informed Deng Letter from Principal Bullydo..."

Hermione patted her head and said that she didn't expect that if she went back for Christmas, she would probably talk to her parents about it, "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"
