[HP]Love and Hogwarts

"But I always feel that you have been avoiding me recently. Is it my imagination?" Kahn scratched his head and whispered.

Harry was frightened by what she just said. After hearing what she said, he immediately nodded with lingering fear, but after nodding, he shook his head guiltily, lowered his head and remained silent.

"I can't understand pantomime," Kahn said. "You have to tell me what's going on, Harry. I don't want to be disliked by my friends for no reason."

"How could I hate you?" Harry said sadly, and then sighed heavily, "It's just my own reasons."

"Can I do something for you?" Kahn said, looking at his messy black hair.

"Thank you." He said, "But no one can help me with this matter. I hope my bad mood has not affected you."

"Don't worry, that's not possible." Kahn patted his shoulder cheerfully. Even Dumbledore couldn't do this.

"...Thank you." Harry didn't look very happy.

After a brief silence, he hesitated and said, "Kahn... do you also think that I am the heir of Slytherin?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he almost bit his tongue nervously, and at the same time he couldn't help feeling regretful. What's the point of him asking this? Whether he is or not, the whole school thinks so now, and that damn Parseltongue, thanks to it, now even Hermione and Ron are beginning to think that he is a descendant of the Slytherin from more than a thousand years ago!

Unexpectedly, Kahn denied his words with almost no pause, "I don't think you are a descendant of Slytherin, and there is nothing like Slytherin in you. And, I also want to say, I don't think you are a descendant of Slytherin either." I think you are the culprit behind the chaos at Hogwarts these days."

Her words were not to comfort Harry, but she did think so. Except for Harry's parseltongue, which was a bit difficult to explain (she was not prepared to struggle with this matter), all other messy things, whether it was Loris Madam, Colin, Justin, or Nick all have better suspects, such as Tom Riddle who is currently hiding in the secret room.

But Harry didn't know this, so he just shouted: "I didn't harm them, why would I do that!" Then, he looked at Kahn quietly, even though there were many words on his lips, I couldn't even utter a single sentence.

"Okay, so this is what worries you, so why have you been avoiding me?" she said.

"Because recently... I always think about the day of sorting. The Sorting Hat didn't want to sort me into Gryffindor at first. It said that it was the best choice for me to be sorted into Slytherin - looking at you makes me even more excited. It pains me to think about it." Harry spat out all the words in his mind. The pain is because he hates Slytherin himself. If it were not for Kahn, he would never take the initiative to say a word to Slytherin in this life. The pain is even more because he loves Gryffindor deeply.

"Oh - this is also a small matter. If I tell you a secret, will you be happy?" Kahn thought for a while and said.

"What?" Harry said curiously, becoming a little more interested.

"That old Sorting Hat," Kahn said immediately without hiding it, "It's not just you, Harry, the Sorting Hat recommended all four houses to me, including Gryffin. "Do I have to feel pain for this?" she asked.

Harry didn't speak, so she continued: "Pain is okay, and not being in pain is not wrong. Since it sorted me into Slytherin, it means that I am the most suitable for Slytherin - and the same goes for you, Harry, there's no need to worry about a small fork in the road that leaves you with no choice."

His eyes stayed on Kahn for a long time, and after a long time, he finally showed his only heartfelt smile in these days, "——So this is why you were separated for so long." He joked with a smile.

"I have really said this to you many times, but I'm afraid this won't be the last time - thank you, Kahn." He solemnly said, "Merry Christmas." He handed the gift in his hand. Kahn.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Kahn said after taking the gift.

"You haven't seen what it is yet!"

"No matter what it is, I will like it." She said, temporarily putting the gift into her pocket, and then greeted Harry cordially to sit down again. After he sat down, she acted as if nothing had happened, as if discussing what color socks to wear today. Just as easily he said: "Harry, can you teach me a few words of Parseltongue?"

"Cough! Cough...cough -" Harry choked and coughed for a while before wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and frowning and said, "Sorry, Kahn, I think I would be willing to do that if I could." Yes. But—I don’t know how to do it either." He said embarrassedly.

Seeing her looking at him in confusion, Harry quickly explained: "I don't even know what I said. Just like that day, when I spoke to the black snake, it sounded normal to me, but you listen But it’s the language of snakes. I think I only automatically turn into Parseltongue when I speak to snakes.”

"That's it, I understand." Kahn nodded and did not continue to ask for more information. She believed that he was not telling lies. Harry's expression was too sincere. If this was pretending, then his acting skills were so good that she was willing to be deceived. On the other hand, even if Harry lied because he didn't want to teach her, so what? This is all his freedom. She fully understands it and will not say anything bad about it.

In the following time, they sat in the courtyard for a while, sometimes talking, sometimes silent, but even if they were silent, the atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful.

When choosing Christmas gifts for the new year, it was really difficult for Kahn for a while. Her financial resources were not even average. Even the food, drink, housing and transportation expenses at Hogwarts had been provided by the generous Deng in the past two years. It was sponsored by Blido, so most of the gifts she gave were made by herself. Fortunately, her craftsmanship was quite exquisite without being particularly careful.

On Christmas Day, a large number of owls rushed to the auditorium and lined up to throw the gifts on the table in front of Kahn. The gifts were piled up into a high hill, occupying Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe's room. desktop. With the experience from last year, Kahn skillfully took out a quill and envelope from his pocket this time, and wrote letters of thanks one by one for those gifts that were too expensive or did not want to be received, and those he did not know well, and then asked them to The owl took the gift he brought and sent it back intact.

As for the gifts she left behind, she went to the Owl Tower and sent gifts in return to their owners.

Like last year, she was the first to send a gift to Mrs. Harriet. Because last year's gift was so bad, Mrs. Harriet wrote in advance and said that if she sent back two huge "earthworm" shaped scarves, She would be kicked out. She didn't have this idea yet, so she had to temporarily buy a snowman-shaped oil lamp from the magical world. This oil lamp can float in the air and find a dark place to stay.

Mrs. Harriet sent a new winter coat she made for Kahn. Although she dressed like an overworker, she had a good taste in children. The clothes fit Kahn very well and she received the gift. She changed into it right away. This was also the first time she put on regular clothes at Hogwarts.

As for other people's gifts, there are no big changes compared to last year. Here are just a few random representatives to talk about. She made an exquisite hand-held mirror for Malfoy. The back of the mirror was engraved with a sun god wearing a laurel wreath and holding a bow and arrow. Apollo and Malfoy gave her an exquisite black tea set.

Snape is a new set of round crystal potion bottles that have just been launched, available in four colors: pink, blue, red, and purple. He sent back a bottle of hair elevating agent, and Kahn suspected that he was still dissatisfied with the comb she gave him last year.

She spent a long time choosing Dumbledore's gift before choosing a fluffy star nightcap. She always felt that Professor Dumbledore would like this gift (which was indeed the case). What Dumbledore gave her was a large box of chocolate candies, which included the most common frog-shaped chocolates, as well as more unique large eagles, zebras and the like, which could run and jump, so it took a lot of effort before eating them.

Professor McGonagall had a cat model in which she transformed into her Animagus form and lowered her head to read a book. Kahn carved Professor McGonagall's favorite wizard's hat for the cat.

When receiving the gift, Professor McGonagall, who was always emotionless, held his face with one hand in surprise and said, "Oh my God! Your hands are so skillful. I don't know how to express my love."

"It doesn't even express one ten thousandth of who you are. I hope you can forgive me for producing such a rough work." Kahn held her hand and said sweetly.

"...Where did you kid learn these words from?"

Her gift to Hermione this year is still a book, because considering that Lockhart's books may have lost their allure, and he has forced all students to buy all seven of his books, this is just an ordinary magic book The storybook tells the story of a wizard's seven-day adventure. What she gave Kahn was a beautiful brown plaid beret.

Ron's gift was very easy to give. Harry had not only complained to her about the fact that he liked Muggle things, but he always asked Harry what the Muggle items were for and what they were used for. She gave Ron a copy of "A Hundred Thousand Whys" and he read a third of it the next day. What he gave Kahn was a new wax seal, which was very heavy and textured when held. After printing, it turned out to be a three-dimensional red tulip.

Harry's gifts are easier to give than Ron's, as long as you give them to things related to Quidditch, that's fine. She gave away a book on Quidditch tactics and broomstick care tips. After she opened Harry's gift, she found a warm and beautiful big butterfly hairpin inside, which could hold half of her hair. For Kahn, who often wore it loose or tied with a hairband, it was a new hairstyle. .

Cedric sent a pair of fairly thin gloves via owl. Although they were thin, they could heat themselves and were very warm. They would not affect their movements even if they were worn. What she sent was a bottle of moisturizing lotion. She had never used this, but it was said that the reviews were quite good. Kahn felt that even though it was such a cold winter day, his face always turned red when they met him, maybe because of the cold.

The Weasley twins are always hard to give as gifts. Last year they gave her a beanie. She scared them a few times with it, but it was somewhat useful. And her moon appearance can only be used to put it under the bed cover before going to bed, simulating the illusion of sleeping peacefully in the wild with the moon above her head, which is even more useless than their invention.

So this year, after much thought, she sent two big shovels that could "squeak" on their own. She thought it was good. After all, their family had a yard for farming, but overall, it was so useless that they still had to chase her. The snow melted around the yard.

When the three of them strolled by, Harry was surprised to find that a large snow house that could accommodate several people had been built on the edge of the yard. He opened the curtain at the door and saw at a glance, Kahn with George on his ear. With two different styles of yellow rose earrings given by Fred, the three of them were calmly holding a teapot and drinking tea!
