Hogwarts Lion Girl

The next day, when a ray of golden sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, Salina got up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

There was a pile of colorful gifts under the Christmas tree on the first floor. Salina saw a carefully wrapped card with a signed photo of Lockhart himself.

Next to the photo is a bag of fudge that looks as hard as a rock. Hagrid's handwriting is always so unique.

The gift from Mrs. Weasley was particularly thoughtful. A newly knitted handmade sweater lay quietly inside the box, with gentle undulations on its surface. The small card inside the sweater was filled with warm holiday wishes.

Serena patiently opened the boxes one by one, including a potion material set and a limited edition postcard...

At the same time, the gifts she gave have already reached her friends' hands.

……

Higgs Manor is located in a secluded corner of England, covered with soft snow, reflecting the quietness and mystery of the ice and snow world. The arrival of Christmas makes the manor glow with a different brilliance, with Christmas lights decorated under the main entrance, and those lights emit a dreamy glow under the starlight.

The tightly closed manor gate slowly opened, and the warm yellow light sprinkled on the snow, exuding a warm winter atmosphere. Behind the wide gate were rows of cheerfully dancing Christmas lights and peacock blue decorative flames, accompanied by the dancing of red and green Christmas balloons, which was particularly rhythmic.

When you enter the manor, the first thing you see is a sparkling lake. In the middle of the lake is a huge Christmas tree. The colorful lights on the tree are dotted with warmth.

After showing their invitations, the invited guests were led into the banquet hall by the waiters.

There is a huge fireplace in the castle, with exquisite Christmas stockings hanging on both sides of the fireplace. The blazing fire makes the house warm as spring. The guests take off their hats, scarves and shawls, revealing the gorgeous dresses underneath.

In the center of the hall was a huge dining table, on which was a sumptuous meal that was both delicious and appetizing.

At the same time inside Hogwarts, the Great Hall was also dressed up for the festival.

As you step through the spacious and magnificent gate, what comes into view are a dozen Christmas trees covered with silver frost. They stand on both sides of the hall like guards protecting the celebration.

Each tree is meticulously decorated, sparkling with colorful lights and various glass balls.

On the ceiling of the auditorium, crisscrossed mistletoe and holly ribbons surround it, exuding an ancient and mysterious festive atmosphere.

The sky above the hall was enchanted, and dry and warm snowflakes slowly fell from the ceiling, like a silent snowflake rain. Under this silver-clad decoration, the banquet seemed even more magnificent.

On the dazzlingly decorated dining table, silver plates and crystal wine glasses flickered in the candlelight, emitting an alluring glow.

A variety of delicious dishes filled the long table, from roast turkey to steamed lamb to elaborate pumpkin pie. Each dish was carefully selected and cooked, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.

The little wizards sat around a table, each picking up their favorite food.

……

At Higgs Manor, the party began.

Terence Higgs was introduced, dressed in a well-tailored suit and looking just as handsome as in the photograph.

The cuffs and collar of the suit are decorated with dark green silk threads, and the subtle luster shines brightly under the light, mysterious yet luxurious.

Then he played a piano piece for the guests as the protagonist.

His slender, white fingers were flexible and powerful. When his fingers danced on the black and white keyboard, they danced like elves. The crisp notes floated in the air like flowing streams. The elegant melody was like a spring breeze. He played the music to his heart's content, and instantly filled the entire hall with the magic of music.

His performance, just like him, is elegant, free and full of spirituality. It is a power that can penetrate people's hearts and make people feel as if they are falling into a wonderful dream.

When the last note fell, Terrence raised his head and happened to meet Salina's eyes.

……

In the hall, Hermione quietly tugged at the sleeves of Harry and Ron. The three of them exchanged glances, then stood up from their seats without attracting attention and slowly moved to a corner of the hall.

When they reached the side door of the Great Hall, Hermione glanced around to make sure no one noticed their movements, then quickly led Harry and Ron into the night.

Obviously, their plan has already begun.

This operation was carefully planned.

Two ordinary and harmless-looking cakes actually contain a secret. A powerful sleeping potion is added to them, specially designed for Crabbe and Goyle.

Harry and Ron approached silently, making sure no one was watching, and offered Crabbe and Goyle this seemingly harmless midnight snack.

Curiosity and greed drove the two big guys to swallow the cake without hesitation.

After a while, the sleeping potion took effect, and the two men fell to the ground as if they were under a spell and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Then, Harry and Ron struggled to drag the two heavy bodies into a hidden cabinet in the hallway.

They carefully plucked out some of Crabbe's and Goyle's hair, and took away their shoes, since Harry and Ron's own shoes would not accommodate the two huge feet.

……

bathroom.

With Hermione's skillful movements, the copper kettle tilted, and a large amount of boiling and rolling Polyjuice Potion poured out from the tumbling kettle, filling the three glass cups.

There were still tiny bubbles bubbling on the surface of the soup, like waves gently rippling on the sea.

The steaming glasses were gently placed in front of each of them, standing steadily on the table.

Harry's forehead broke out in a little sweat. Hermione quickly glanced around to make sure no one was watching secretly. She lowered her tone slightly, but also revealed a firm tone: "Drink it."

Ron never lacked courage. He grabbed the last of the potion and drank it all in one gulp without even frowning.

Then he turned around and ran towards the nearest cubicle.

Harry took a deep breath and watched Ron hurried away.

He held the cup of decoction tightly in his hand, staring at its dark liquid, and after a few seconds of silence, he raised the cup decisively and drank the decoction in one gulp.

A strong taste spread in his mouth and he clenched his teeth, enduring the disgusting taste.

The polyjuice potion tasted like overcooked cabbage, and the suffocating texture instantly made the taste buds lose the desire to resist.

As soon as he swallowed it, an intense burning sensation began to rage from Harry's stomach, like a raging fire, quickly sweeping across his entire body.

He felt as if his blood was boiling, burning every inch of his skin, and his bones and muscles were gurgling as if they were being recast in a furnace.

My skin felt like it was pierced by burning needles, and every pore in my body was trembling.

He watched as his fingers grew thicker, his nails began to grow wildly, and each joint swelled into unnatural curves.

His arms became thicker, and the muscles on his back bulged and sunken like a honeycomb, as if something was stirring madly inside.

Harry's shoulder felt like it was chopped by an invisible axe. The pain was so piercing that he involuntarily crawled on the ground, gasping for breath.
