When Chi Mo returned to the dormitory, the diligent house elf was cleaning for the second time today.Hearing the movement behind him, he greeted him in surprise.

"Young master, you are back~" Although she knew that her young master had never been injured, Ruo Na couldn't help but scrutinized him from head to toe, and finally came to the conclusion that her young master's face was not good at all. Besides, there is nothing wrong with it.

As for why her face was so ugly, Ruona, who sneaked to the competition venue after finishing her work, could still guess one or two points—it must have been frightened by those dementors.Although her young master is very capable and powerful, it is not an easy task to rescue Harry Potter from so many dementors.

When she saw her young master jumping directly from the air to save Potter, Ruona screamed in fright, and then immediately reacted, hid in the corner, and kept throwing the floating spell at her young master's feet— ——In order to better protect the young master, the master even allowed Ruona to use a magic wand like a wizard!

Ruo Na, who was afraid that her young master might make a mistake, kept chanting the curse until the young master landed safely.

After that, Ruona, who used the special passage for the house elves in the castle, overheard the news that the second grade prefect said that the holiday would start tomorrow, and rushed back to tidy up Chi Mo's room.

"Today's dinner, young master, can only be used in the dormitory. There is no room to dine in the auditorium." Ruona glanced at Chi Mo's face, and said tentatively, "You have to rest first Will it? It's still a while before dinner time, or, would you like to eat first?"

"No, you can do your work." Chi Mo shook his head, walked to the closet, took a change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Ruona assured behind Chi Mo, "Ruona will definitely clean the room! Please rest assured, young master!"

Ruona tidied up Chi Mo's desk briskly, thinking that she would be able to go back tomorrow, Ruona's eyes couldn't stop smiling.The original two-week Christmas holiday, because of this incident, was a blessing in disguise, and there were two more days off.

The young master will be away for nearly half a month, so all these things have to be put away.

This book is something that the young master reads every day, so he probably needs to take it away, um, I have to take it out and let it go; the young master has already finished reading this book, so it can be put away; and this book...

Chi Mo leaned against the door frame of the bathroom, took a dry towel in his hand, wiped his wet hair, and watched Ruona busy at his desk.asked abruptly. "Did you hear about Pettigrew's escape from prison?"

Ruo Na, who was rational and energetic, was stunned when she heard the voice, and turned around to find that her young master had come out of the bath.

The original relaxed and happy mood became a little sleepy because of the incident mentioned by Chi Mo. Ruona lowered her head and picked her fingers, and replied in a low voice, "...Ruona heard about it."

Chi Mo silently looked at Ruona for a long time, seeing the latter was hairy all over, thinking that what he had done had offended her young master, and immediately apologized in panic.

Chi Mo dried the water droplets on his hair with a dry towel, and what Phoebe said in the showroom echoed in his ears, his eyes darkened, and he seemed to say casually, "I heard that Pettigrew escaped from prison. Before he was interrogated, in this way, it would be troublesome to clear the charges on Sirius, right?"

Ruona opened her mouth subconsciously, wanting to say something, but in the end, she just lowered her head, looking a little sad.

Chi Mo, who has been staring at Ruona's expression since the questioning, did not miss the worry and dissatisfaction in Ruona's eyes.

Chi Mo, who watched the elf go silent, glanced at the two piles of books on the desk, and asked casually. "How did you separate out the pile of books?"

"Tomorrow is the holiday. Ruona will help the young master organize the books he is going to take away." Ruona raised her head and looked at Chi Mo with wet eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

The movements of Chi Mo's hands paused, "...Where do you take it?"

When he came back, he met Professor Flitwick, who told him regretfully that he always spent Christmas at school, and he didn't plan to go back this year.Although he also welcomes Chi Mo to stay in school, he also agrees that Chi Mo goes to a friend's house for Christmas.

"You young people should have richer activities, instead of being like an old man like me, who can only spend Christmas with these old faces you have seen for decades." The not tall professor winked at Chi Mo, "No pupils will be staying at school for Christmas this year. I just heard that Mr. Adrian invited you to his house for Christmas. That's great, boy, and you deserve a happy holiday with your friends, not with your friends. Old men like me spend time together in books."

It's just that Professor Flitwick didn't know that after Chi Mo knew that Christmas here was like the Tang Dynasty New Year, he had already declined the little fat man's invitation—he didn't intend to go to other people's homes for the New Year and hinder the other's family reunion.

"Take it home." Ruona replied without thinking. "The young master's room was ready early in the morning." She was also honored to participate!

Come back home?

Chi Mo couldn't help being dazed when he heard this word, and familiar faces appeared in front of his eyes, amiable but unreachable.

He has long since lost his home.

He lost himself after 1000 years and couldn't find his way home.

Chi Mo laughed mockingly. In the natural disaster in Tianbao five years ago, he lost his family and his home in Fu'an County. Fortunately, he met his master, and he stayed in Wudu to be with his teachers and brothers in Jiaozhong. I found a new destination; but I didn't want to, the warmth of those eight years together was as beautiful but fragile as a dream—Tianbao lost his home again in the Nether Grass in the 13th year.

The smile on the face of the house-elf, who was full of joy for the young master to go back, froze because of her young master's strange expression.

"Young master..." Ruona shouted timidly, "Did Ruona do something wrong? Did it make you unhappy?" As she asked, she began to reflect on the mistakes she might have made this day, thinking about what It might make her young master unhappy at all.

"...No, it's none of your business." Chi Mo smiled self-deprecatingly, pretending not to see the uneasiness and worry in Ruona's eyes, then changed the topic and asked. "R went back too?"

This time, the little elf looked at Chi Mo's face for a while before carefully answering yes.After thinking for a while, he added, "Master is already at home waiting for the young master to go back."

Chi Mo drooped his eyelids slightly, hiding all his emotions in his eyes, staring at the pattern on the carpet in concentration, and after a while, he raised his head and said hello with a smile.

Although nearly two-thirds of the students in Hogwarts became ill due to the attacks of the dementors, the Christmas holiday came early because of this, and most of the students still had the scars on their faces. smile.

Unlike most people's big bags and small bags, Chi Mo only carried a small food box in his hand - just like when he came to Hogwarts at that time, it was the lunch prepared by Ruona for him.

Among the bustling crowd, Chi Mo saw Harry at a glance.

Harry's complexion looked terrible, as if he lost ten catties overnight, and his whole body was extremely haggard.Ron and Hermione were beside him, the latter frowning and talking incessantly.

Chi Mo vaguely heard words such as "run away" and "no way", and Harry's face became more ugly following Hermione's words, but the little witch didn't realize it, and was still talking endlessly.

On one side, Ron had a bitter face, and followed the training as if he was a brother in distress.

Chi Mo looked at it from a distance for a while, then withdrew his gaze.He probably knew something about Harry's thoughts—he thought he could spend Christmas with his godfather this year, but he didn't expect that Pettigrew would escape from prison when things came to an end. The matter of Sirius was not so easy to solve.

Thinking of Sirius, Chi Mo couldn't help thinking of another person.

He casually found a box at the end and sat down, looking out the window, a little confused.

I feel like I understand something, but I always feel that something is wrong.

After the Hogwarts Express arrived at the station, Chi Mo got out of the car with the untouched food box.

The number of people on the platform was terrifying, and there were parents who came to pick them up everywhere.

Thinking about the news of Hogwarts about the details of the dementor yesterday, the news of Hogwarts had already been published in the newspapers. Now, the parents were worried, but after seeing their children, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Mo lowered his head, flexibly dodged other people, and walked out of the platform quickly.

As soon as he came out, he saw a low-key and luxurious carriage parked in front of him.

Chi Mo looked around subconsciously, but no one noticed this carriage that was incompatible with the environment here.

Did you use the Ignore Charm?

Before getting in the car, this thought flashed through Chi Mo's mind.

Chi Mo is no stranger to this place.

After R snatched Sirius from him that time, he brought him here.

And the owner here, as Ruona said, was waiting for him in the living room.

Regulus stood up, walked up to Chi Mo, and straightened the boy's collar, "Are you tired?"

Chi Mo shook his head.

Regulus pulled Chi Mo to sit down, took the Victorian-style carved silver teapot on the coffee table, poured a cup of black tea for Chi Mo, and handed it over.

Chi Mo took it and said thank you softly.

"What's the matter? It looks like you're a little unhappy?" Regulus said and moved a plate of snacks in front of Chi Mo.

Chi Mo looked sideways at the man who was also wearing a cloak at home—or, it was because he came.

"Pettigret escaped from prison before being interrogated. Sirius was wronged. Can it be cleared?"

Regulus brought a small snack to Chi Mo's mouth, and he didn't speak until Chi Mo opened his mouth and swallowed it. "He'll be fine and things will be sorted out soon."

Chi Mo sensitively noticed that when the man said this, his tone was a little strange, like a sigh, but also seemed to be indifferent.

Chi Mo lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand, which was black tea.

It is estimated that Ruona has already reported her preferences to her master verbatim.

Chi Mo looked at the curling white smoke and said softly, "I heard that among the dozens of Quidditch championships that Slytherin won consecutively, there was a match where Slytherin's Seeker came out of the Golden Snitch. Caught it two minutes later, in front of Gryffindor goal."

The living room suddenly became very quiet.

Chi Mo didn't seem to feel the heat, so he drank the tea in the cup, stood up and walked towards the stairs, "Where is my room?"

"On the third floor. I'll ask Kreacher to take you there."

A man's voice came from behind, always elegant and gentle.

Chi Mo, who walked to the front of the stairs, turned around suddenly, "Regulus."

The man's figure paused.

Chi Mo stared at the man with his eyes tightly, and stubbornly read out the name that he had only glanced at.

"Reculus Artoclus Black."
