39 Christmas dinner

On Christmas Day, the fluttering snowflakes temporarily stopped, and the sun pierced the thick clouds and sprinkled down from the blue sky.

Ace was sitting on the edge of Mirror Lake wrapped in a black and yellow scarf.After most of the winter, the surrounding area has been covered with snowflakes, and everything is covered in silver. Long ice edges hang on the branches by the lake, like monsters with teeth and claws.Only Mirror Lake is like a piece of obsidian, dotted in the snow, reflecting the faint light.

The students who left school have gone home, and the students who stayed in school will attend the Christmas dinner tonight.

Although Ace didn't plan to go home this holiday, she would sneak home and take a look. Her intuition told her that something was definitely wrong with her parents.She still needed to go to Diagon Alley to check out her shop, and hoped that Professor Slughorn would let her use the fireplace in his office.

It was a bit cold after sitting in the snow for a long time, so Ace stood up and walked around Mirror Lake.The hot breath passed through the scarf, and then turned into a white mist in the low temperature, and finally dissipated.

After staying in the Forbidden Forest for a while, Ace felt that her hands and feet were frozen, and then she walked back.

At the Christmas dinner, not many students stayed, only about a quarter.Everyone no longer sits in separate courtyards as usual, but is crowded together.

There was a huge cedar tree standing in the Great Hall, which Hagrid had carried in the morning.The cedar is covered with various decorations - a series of small golden five-pointed stars, which will glow golden when touched; there are also some small bells, which will emit the melodious melody of "bornistheking, bornistheking"; there is also some honey hanging on it Candy Canes by Duke.

The students gathered around, talked and laughed, and exchanged Christmas gifts with each other.Ace was immersed in this happy atmosphere, smiling and chatting with everyone.

"Isn't Severus here?" Ace turned to ask a Slytherin classmate.

"Severus?" The girl who was asked was stunned and didn't realize who Ace was asking, "Oh, you mean classmate Snape, I don't know, I haven't seen him much since the holiday. He doesn’t usually show up during meal times.”

"I see, thank you."

"You're welcome, Ace."

Ace frowned and left the auditorium.She went to the library first, but it was empty now, no one was there, even Mrs. Pince was enjoying a delicious turkey in the great hall.

Ace had no choice but to turn around and go to the Room of Requirement. Snape was indeed here.When Ace opened the door and walked in, Snape was leaning on the table, pressing his stomach with one hand, his face pale and shaky.

Ace ran over, helped Snape sit on a stool aside, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Severus?"

"Um...no, it's okay." Snape held his stomach and leaned back on the chair uncomfortably.

"How long has it been since you went to eat?" Ace said as she took out a glass of pumpkin juice from her bag. Fortunately, when she left the dinner, she thought that Snape might have forgotten to come to eat, so she brought some food with her.

Seeing that Snape was in too much pain and had no strength to sit up, Ace had no choice but to hold him up with one hand and put the cup to his mouth with the other to feed him.

The warm, sweet pumpkin juice flowed into his stomach, and Snape felt better.He took the cup from Ace's hand, frowned and drank the sweet pumpkin juice in a big gulp, and was about to reach for the bread on the table on the side.

Ace slapped Snape's outstretched hand away and said angrily: "Do you still want your stomach? Can you eat this now?"

Snape raised his head blankly and looked at Ace, who was standing next to him and looking down at him. In the girl's gray-green eyes was his own figure, her brows were furrowed, her lips were pursed, and she was looking at him angrily.

"No, it's okay." Snape said quietly.

Ace sighed helplessly, pulled Snape up and said, "Follow me."

Snape was pulled all the way downstairs. Feeling the warmth coming through the thin fabric, he turned his wrist uncomfortably.Ace felt it, looked back, and let go.

However, she soon discovered Snape's thin clothes, and the black clothes were stained with powder, which seemed to be from when he was preparing the potion.

"How long have you been there, Severus? I shouldn't have taken you to the Room of Requirement." Sighing, Ace placed a warming charm on him.

Snape pursed his lips and did not answer the question. He felt that if he answered, Ace would be very angry.He had been there since the holidays and had barely returned to the Slytherin common room.

Snape silently followed Ace to the door of the Hufflepuff lounge. He looked at Ace in confusion: "Why did you bring me to your lounge?"

Ace glanced at Snape angrily, scratched the pear on the portrait next to him, and then a brass handle suddenly appeared.Ace opened the door and said to Snape, "Come in."

Snape walked in the door and smelled the rich aroma of various foods.In front of him was a huge kitchen, where house elves were busy preparing food.

Seeing someone coming in, the elves all stopped what they were doing and looked at the two people at the door.

"Miss Ace! Do you have any orders?" Poppy still remembered this friendly lady. He appeared in front of Ace, looked at Ace with his big watery eyes, and asked.

"Poppy, can you prepare some rice for me? Thank you." Ace said to Poppy with a smile.

"You're welcome! Miss, Poppy will be ready soon!" Poppy left happily.

Ace took Snape to the dining table aside and asked him to sit down. This was specially prepared for the little badgers who often came to eat and drink.

Snape's ears were slightly red. He had just heard his stomach growl. Fortunately, the sound was loud in the kitchen and no one heard it.He sat on the chair and watched Ace busy on the side. The girl's hair was pulled back, her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, and she was stirring in the pot with a spoon.

Ace didn't plan to make too complicated food, but only made a simple porridge. When Mr. Foley was sick, Kathy would make porridge for him.

Putting the bowl in front of Snape, Ace raised his chin and said, "Eat, you can only eat this now."

He called Bobby again and asked him to serve him a piece of black forest mousse. Ace took a spoon and ate it in small bites.

When Snape finished his meal, Ace stopped his stupid behavior of going back to work and said, "I will help you finish the rest of the work. You can go back and have a good sleep now."

After a pause, Ace took a look at Snape's greasy hair and dirty clothes before continuing: "I think, as a gentleman, you should not let yourself wear clothes stained with various powders."

"Thank you, Ace." Snape looked down at his clothes. There was not only dust on it, but also splashed potion, which mixed together to give off a strange bitter taste of medicinal herbs.He blushed slightly, thanked him, and left quickly, as if a dementor was chasing him.

Ace shook his head and went to the Room of Requirement to help Snape finish the work.
