[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

Alice is very busy these days, because before the final exam, it is Christmas.

"Alice, I'm sorry. Dad had promised me to stay in school." Peggy left with an apologetic face. "But Dad suddenly lost his temper and said that the family must be together at Christmas."

Carrie on the side also pursed her lips and remained silent.It was very worrying for her parents to come to Hogwarts alone, and it was even more impossible not to go home for Christmas.

Alice was a little helpless: "I'm fine, it's just a Christmas, we will meet again soon."

After sending the two away, Alice looked at the empty dormitory, feeling a little sad for a while.But soon, she forgot the sadness.

Christmas is about giving each other presents. Thinking of her tight living expenses, Alice began to feel embarrassed.Although the gift is just a thought, it should not be too simple and shabby.

The first is my two friends.What she gave Carrie was a bottle of beauty potion, which was a reward Alice got in potions class.

Carrie has always wanted a bottle. According to her, it is much better than the skin care products in the Muggle world, and the most important thing is that it has no side effects.

Peggy's gift was a small cake she made herself.Originally, Peggy asked Alice for the cake recipe, but considering that it belonged to Mrs. Rice after all, Alice still refused.

There are also various professors, as a junior, Alice does not need to give gifts, as long as she sends a greeting card.

In the greeting card, she specially thanked Dean Flitwick for his help.After all, the dean has put in a lot of effort for his skipping grades and class schedule.

Oh, and Professor Snape.I would like to thank him extra for guiding me at the beginning of school.

Who else?Alice looked at the list in her hand, crossed out Fanny's name, and a set of gobstones could be disposed of.She would not have given Fanny a present if it hadn't been so unjustifiable.

Mrs. Rice, Alice hesitated for a while, and gave a full set of honeydukes new candy, of course the kind that can't move.

On the one hand, the candies of the wizarding world might be an inspiration to Mrs. Rice.

On the other hand, she remembers that Tom had a huge sweet tooth, but was extremely disciplined because of tooth decay.I hope this gift can help my former classmate.

"Bill Weasley." Looking at the last name left on the list, Alice was a little tangled.

After the last exchange, the two have become friends and often go to the library to study together.But Alice really didn't have much experience in giving gifts to boys.

Unlike Van Nistelrooy, it's easy to get rid of if it doesn't matter.She couldn't give Bill a dragon egg, could she?And even if she wanted to, Alice couldn't get it.

After much hesitation, Alice chose a travel book.The book records the author's adventures in various places, especially describing the customs of Egypt in detail.

Finally finished her work, Alice breathed a sigh of relief and devoted herself to studying again.While Christmas is important, final exams are even more so.

……

On Christmas, most of the students choose to go home, except for orphans like Alice, very few of them stay in school.However, the professors still tried their best to give the remaining students a wonderful Christmas.

In the center of the hall is a huge Christmas tree, covered with golden ribbons and all kinds of strange little decorations.

Alice stepped into the hall, and saw Professor Flitwick stepping on a stool, waving his wand, and steadily placing a dancing star on the top of the Christmas tree.

"Alice, you came just in time." Dean Flitwick greeted happily, "Help me to see if this star is right."

After looking left and right, and gestured a few more times, Alice gave the professor a thumbs up.

It seemed that they were infected by the atmosphere of Christmas, and the professors were also dressed differently than usual.

Professor McGonagall let down her usual scrupulous lock of hair and what appeared to be eyeliner?

Noticing Alice's gaze, Professor McGonagall took the initiative to return a kind smile.She still has a good impression of this Ravenclaw's top student.

If only the students in my own academy were so relieved.Thinking of Gryffindor's bottom-ranked house points, Professor McGonagall sighed deeply.

Professor Snape was still dressed in black as usual, but the robe seemed to have dark patterns.It was some distance away, and Alice couldn't be sure.

Even Filch, with his usual stern face, smiled. He was still dressed in the same old style, stroking his cat.

Alice looked enviously at "Mrs. Norris" wearing a bow tie.It's a pity that Filch seems to be very strict with pets and doesn't allow any students to get close to "Mrs. Norris".

But the most conspicuous one must be Headmaster Dumbledore.With just one glance, Alice received a huge psychological shock.

The blue wizard robe covered with moons and stars, and the white fluffy wizard hat like a nightcap look very warm.Dumbledore winked at Alice, indifferent to the strange stare.

Although I knew that the principal was different, I didn't expect it to be so unique.But isn't Professor Snape's dislike too obvious?

On the other hand, Alice shook her head, looking at the normal expressions of other professors, she was still too young.The principal is responsible for paying your salary.

Perhaps because there are too few students staying at the school, this dinner was not divided into schools.Headmaster Dumbledore conjured up a long table in the middle of the auditorium, big enough for the professor and the students to sit together.

Alice looked at the principal sitting on the side, looked around cautiously, and finally looked at the vacant seat beside Professor Sproud.Is there anyone else who hasn't come?

"You, Head Flitwick, often boast to me that Ravenclaw has one of the smartest and hardworking students in Hogwarts." Headmaster Dumbledore took the initiative to say, "I think he's talking about you, right?"

Alice blushed from the praise, and looked at her dean reflexively.Is this cow blowing a little too big?

"Ahem." Dean Fei Liwei coughed a few times, and looked at Dumbledore reproachfully.The teacher got too drunk at the party, and the principal let the students know what he said out of excitement.

"Alice." The headmaster paused, "I don't think you'll mind me calling you that. Remember what I told you at the beginning of school?"

"Yes." Alice replied honestly, "I feel very happy studying and enjoy life at Hogwarts."

"I'm glad you didn't just focus on studying and neglect other things." Dumbledore was a little relieved, "I know that you have good friends in various colleges, and the friendships in the student days are always very pure. If maintained properly, this A friendship that may last a lifetime."

"However, do you still want to stick to the idea of ​​skipping a level?"

Alice was taken aback by the sudden change of topic, and then she nodded firmly: "Yes, my goal has not changed."

"I think so, you are a strong-willed child." Principal Dumbledore nodded, "I have communicated with several professors, and they all think that you have no problems in theory, but you are still lacking in practice. "

"Yes, I know this too." Alice was a little depressed. Recently, she consciously strengthened this point, but the operation takes time to accumulate, and the gap in practice is not so easy to make up.

"If weekends are also used to study, can you accept it?"

Alice raised her head immediately, "Principal, what do you mean?"

"In winter, the greenhouse in Pomona needs manpower. Sev also complained recently that the potions in the medical wing are depleting too quickly."

Alice looked around, Professor Sproud smiled gently, and Professor Snape was expressionless but did not refute.

"I suppose you don't mind helping the professor over the weekend?"

Hearing this, Alice almost jumped up: "Of course, I'm happy to help."

"Sorry, I'm late." Almost at the same time as Alice spoke, a rough male voice sounded.

Alice looked towards the door, and opened her eyes wide in the next second. It was the giant she saw at the beginning of school.

After staying in Hogwarts for almost a year, she already knew that the half-blood giant she saw at the beginning of school was Rubeus Hagrid, who was the hunting ground and key keeper of Hogwarts.

His hair is fluffy, his face is mostly covered by a long messy beard, he is wearing a black coat, and he is carrying a pink umbrella that is completely different from his temperament.

It is said that he was expelled from school because the spider he raised killed Myrtle, and he could only serve at Hogwarts under the guarantee of the headmaster Dumbledore.

Hagrid looked at the people in the room and scratched his head nervously: "Hey, I didn't want to come, but Dumbledore said..."

The following words were almost muttered, but no one could hear them clearly.Then, an iron box was pulled out and placed on the dining table.

"This is the rock cake I made myself, you can eat it." The half-giant was a little embarrassed, "The taste may not be very good, but I don't know anything else."

Under the light, the iron box on the table was not magical but shone brightly.Alice felt that maybe some misunderstanding happened back then, at least Hagrid didn't look like a bad person.

"I believe that everyone will like the present you brought very much." Principal Dumbledore seemed very happy, "I think it is better for everyone to get together at Christmas."

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and enjoy the Christmas dinner." Then, Dumbledore snapped his fingers.

Roast turkey stuffed with beef, a body-warming eggnog sip, roasted chestnuts to go with the meat, and even gingerbread houses and men!

Alice ate very happily.For example, the truffle mille-feuille is completely different from Mrs. Rice's, but it is still delicious.

"The elves in Hogwarts are so powerful!" She couldn't help feeling.

"I think they will be very happy to hear your praise." Dumbledore nodded approvingly, "But I don't think Alice is old enough to drink yet?"

Alice withdrew her hand reaching for the eggnog in an instant, and smiled politely but awkwardly.

Soon, Alice's smile became sincere.

The rock skin cakes made by Hagrid are really not good in appearance, no one dares to try it lightly.Perhaps because he was afraid that Hagrid would be sad, the kind headmaster took the initiative to pick up a piece.

The next second, Dumbledore clutched his teeth, his expression twisted.
