Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Early the next morning, the little wizard, who was about to go back, enjoyed a sumptuous meal in the Christmas-style auditorium and then happily talked about his holiday plans.

Compared with the ignorance in the first grade, everyone is now much more proficient.

Their wardrobes were empty, their things were packed into suitcases, and they were all sent to the carriage by the industrious elves.

Notices were sent to every student, warning them not to use magic during the holidays ("This thing is just a piece of waste paper." Malfoy said with a curled lips).

The first-year wizards followed Hagrid on board the fleet of boats crossing the lake.

Because the lake is empty and covered with thick ice, the boats are actually just gliding on the ice.

The senior wizards who didn't need to take the boat grinned happily as they watched the first-year little Doudin shivering in the biting cold wind, shrinking his head like a little quail.

Ron looked at it with his mouth open for a while, then asked in confusion:

"Why do we have to walk on the lake? It's frozen now!"

Harry guessed: "Perhaps some kind of magic has been cast on the carriage so that the first years can't sit on it?" He pointed to the empty place in front of the carriage.

In fact, there are thestrals there. Only those who have witnessed death can see them. Zhang Xiao can see them, but he can't remember when he has witnessed death.

But Harry couldn't figure out why because he couldn't see. He had obviously witnessed death more than once.

"How could it be so boring?" Malfoy snorted and joined the discussion: "I think it might be something like a lesson, letting them blow the cold air so that they who have just learned magic and their heads are hot will not go back and wave. The wand does something."

Although Malfoy was annoying, both Harry and Ron felt that what he said made sense, especially Harry himself, who especially wanted to use magic during the summer vacation of his first year.

Hermione raised her head from the thick book, stared at these three wise men, frowned in disbelief and asked:

"I thought that after what happened in the past two years, you would pay attention to "Hogwarts: A History of the School"!"

The little witch made sharp criticism:

"If you really read it, even if you only read the first page, you will find it clearly written on it that when the four founders first came to Hogwarts, they took a boat across the lake to the castle.

Therefore, every new student will use this method to commemorate the four great founders of the college. This is why every small boat must carry four people! "

The three Maharo looked at each other and suddenly chatted loudly about interesting things about the Charlie Artillery Team, but the faces of the three of them were a little too red.

Time passed quickly, and Malfoy and Harry finally got rid of their previous embarrassment.

They had already boarded the Hogwarts Express, chatting and laughing all the way, watching the gradually changing scenery outside the window.

The train passed through Muggle towns. They ate Bibi's multi-flavor beans and looked forward to this Christmas.

A few days ago, Linlangtian Villa.

Ever since their son said he wanted to invite his classmates to his home for Christmas, the couple got busy.

Hot knowledge, except for the so-called Christmas that is hyped up by later generations of merchants, there are also some people who don’t know how to evaluate it. The vast majority of Chinese people are not interested in Christmas at all.

Even after staying abroad for more than ten years, Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu have never celebrated Christmas once, and they don't even know how foreigners spend it.

Besides the Christmas tree and giving gifts, what else do you need to prepare for Christmas?

"Mr. Sir, look at this -" Li Qingshu held up a book called "The British Christmas Cookbook", which is said to be the thinnest book in the world (the other book was juxtaposed with a German joke), and pointed to the pattern on it.

He said in surprise: "Look at this paragraph. Every British family cannot do without Christmas pudding on Christmas night. Christmas pudding contains almonds, apples, candied orange peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, brandy-soaked raisins and other sweet ingredients. . In addition, interesting baubles were added: a silver thimble (representing frugality), a wishing bone or a sixpence coin (symbolizing good luck), and a small anchor (symbolizing a safe harbor)."

Zhang Chengdao put down the "Illustrated Christmas Decoration Arrangement" in his hand, leaned his head over, looked at the album in his wife's hand, and touched his chin:

"Hey, why do I think it's similar to the Chinese stuffing dumplings and glutinous rice balls stuffed with copper coins?"

Li Qingshu smiled and nodded: "I think so too."

She flipped through a few more pages, and soon reached the end. She stretched out, picked up her notes, took a rough look at them, and said confidently:

"No problem. I thought I would prepare it just like the Chinese New Year. It's quite simple. The main meal is roast turkey, and the main ones are desserts and pies. The drinks are eggnog and mulled wine."

As she spoke, Li Qingshu frowned:

"But aren't these dishes a little short? There are a lot of people here. How about we prepare some more hard dishes? Last time we went to catch seaweed for Xiaoxiao, we ate a lot of good dishes."

Zhang Chengdao thought for a while and nodded heavily:

"I think it will work. Let's make more. One turkey for the main course is really not enough. You can't have one turkey per person, right?"

"Well, that's settled, Mr. Master, where are you?"

"The process is no problem." Zhang Chengdao took the decoration book and asked some details from the neighbors in Chinatown: "Look, it's mainly Christmas trees, Christmas crackers, Christmas stockings and some other decorations."

"Is it that simple?" Li Qingshu took the illustrated book and flipped through it casually. It was really like that.

"I've also seen Christmas crackers. They are probably a kind of firecracker with some small toys hidden inside, but ordinary crackers will definitely not satisfy these children, so we have to get creative.

I remember that Fifth Senior Sister is good at using thunder with her palms. Our Fifth Senior Sister is also responsible for the communication fireworks at Longhu Mountain. Why don't you ask her for advice and see if you can come up with something powerful to surprise everyone? "

Li Qingshu nodded in agreement and said:

"how about you?"

Zhang Chengdao stood up and said confidently:

"I'll take care of the Christmas tree!"

"Isn't there a bigger one?"

Why didn't Zhang Chengdao expect that the Christmas tree he thought he had in hand turned out to be the most difficult problem to solve?

It’s not that there are no Christmas trees for sale in the UK. On the contrary, because Christmas is approaching, sales of Christmas trees are very hot.

Those Christmas trees were beautifully decorated, but the problem was - they were too small.

This is not a traditional British Christmas with a few people, but a dozen people. How can a Christmas tree over one meter high be enough?

"Sir, this is the highest we have, there is no higher one."

Although the Asian man's request was strange, the salesperson still answered seriously.

"Okay, I'll look for it again."

Zhang Chengdao sighed, turned and left.

The salesman shrugged and looked at the 10-foot-tall Christmas tree next to him. Isn't this tall enough?

Although you can find someone to do this for you, according to the information Zhang Chengdao learned, it is best to buy things like Christmas trees yourself.
