The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 406 Christmas

This Christmas, Hogwarts seems to want to impress the guests and show the best of the school. The decorations in the castle reflect the good intentions of the teachers and students.

The whole castle was decorated with lights and festoons. If it wasn't for the red lanterns, Ada would have thought that she had returned to her previous life in a dream.

The auditorium is filled with glittering Christmas trees and hooting golden owls.The banisters of the marble stairs are covered with icicles that will never melt. Fortunately, the ice will not lower the temperature of the castle, and no silly child will stick out his tongue to lick the icicles.

The worn armor of yesteryear has been polished and enchanted to sing Christmas carols whenever anyone passes by.

It's scary to be alone in a hallway where there's no sound, and suddenly someone is humming a song next to you, whether it's a Christmas carol or "Jingle Bells."

Ada just wanted to ask, which little genius came up with the wonderful idea of ​​making the armor sing?Can't you have less ideas about the underworld and more work in the underworld?

Now, instead of singing Christmas carols, Ada would love to sing "Oh Susannah," even though she's not from Alabama and doesn't know how to play her favorite banjo.

The castle decoration work for the past few days has made Ada tired and paralyzed. On the one hand, she has to run up and down with the prefects to help the professor, and on the other hand, she has to beware of Peeves to prevent him from making trouble for the big guys.

Dumbledore still had a lot of face. Peeves had been honest for half a school year, and it wasn't until Christmas that he couldn't help but come out again to play pranks and make trouble.

Heavy snow fell on the castle and grounds one after another, Hogwarts was decorated in a silvery white, the aroma of stew rising in the castle made people feel warm, and the festive atmosphere became stronger and stronger.

If anyone in the castle was unhappy right now, Ada's first thought would be the fastidious Fleur Delacour.

Fleur from France is always complaining, complaining about the cold weather at Hogwarts, complaining that the food here is too greasy to wear her new dress.As long as you can't think of it, there is nothing Furong can't complain about.

And among the little lions of Gryffindor, there is one person who is very unhappy recently, that is Ginny, the little sister of the Weasley family.

Ginny was not unhappy because she was only in the third grade and couldn't attend the Yule Ball. In fact, many people had invited her.But Ginny didn't agree to anyone's invitation. She had been waiting for Harry, hoping that Harry would notice her.

He survived a group of girls who took the initiative to invite Harry, and survived the Qiu Zhang who Harry invited on his own initiative. Even now, Harry still hasn't found a dance partner, and he doesn't think of Ginny.

This made Ginny so happy. These days, she was hanging out in front of Harry a lot, but Harry treated her like air, and even discussed with Ron how to find a dance partner in front of her.

After clicking around the names, Harry and Ron finally remembered that there was another Hermione by their side, so Ron, who had no EQ, went online again and asked Hermione to choose between him and Harry.

Ron's appearance made Hermione angry, and the little violent temper couldn't help it at that time, and he was angry with Ron.Turning her head, Hermione agreed to the invitation of others.Compared to Hermione, Ginny was even worse. Ron still asked, but Harry didn't even think about asking Ginny.

After knowing that Harry and Parvati Patil had become a dance partner, Ginny was even more ashamed, and agreed to the invitation of Neville, the sword master of Gryffindor.

Harry and Ron are two big fools, ready-made partners are around, but they turn a blind eye.If it weren't for the dazzling halo of the protagonist, it would not be surprising that Harry and Ron would be a pair to attend the ball.

In the chaos, Christmas in 1994 arrived as scheduled.

In the white morning, Ada thought she woke up early enough, but Angelina, Alia, and Katie woke up earlier than her. When she opened her eyes, their Christmas presents had already been half opened up.

Turned out of bed, pushed open the window, and just took a breath of cold air, Ada closed the window tightly under the laughing and cursing of "I'm going to die, you".

How can I be reconciled to being scolded, and in a short while Ada's cold little hand reached into Angelina's pajamas, and the four people in the dormitory suddenly became a mess, and they didn't even open the presents.

Ada was quickly defeated, no matter how cold her hands were, it couldn't compare to three people rubbing her itch together.The torture was unbearable, Ada immediately surrendered and raised the white flag, and the three let her go.

Panting and flushed, the four sat back on their own beds, continued to unwrap their presents, and enjoyed the Christmas morning surprise.

Those who can send gifts to Ida at Christmas are still those people. Although they haven't increased, they haven't decreased either. She is easy to be satisfied.

It may be that Ada is already seventeen years old, so the gifts she received are mainly jewelry and clothing.It's just that the clothes Ada received are becoming more and more mature, especially Angelina's gift.

Even if it really came to summer, Ada would definitely not wear this dress to go out. The designer really saved too much on fabrics, and it was not much worse than the suit she gave Angelina.

Mrs. Weasley's handmade sweater is really unique this year. The chest of the sweetheart neck sweater is finally replaced by a bunch of blooming flowers instead of the initials.

After sharing the homemade mince pies sent by Mrs. Weasley, the four lazy girls remembered to clean the wrapping paper on the floor of the dormitory, and remembered that there were people waiting for them to eat together downstairs.

Standing in the common room, looking at the lively scene in front of her, Ada suddenly felt that the spacious common room in the past had become a bit crowded.This year's Christmas holiday, almost all the students chose to stay in school, which gave Ada this illusion.

On Christmas morning, almost no one went out, and everyone stayed in the Gryffindor tower, either playing around or practicing dancing at the last minute.

According to Ron, even alone without a partner, Neville could dance for a long time.

At noon, all enjoyed a sumptuous lunch in the Great Hall, consisting of at least a hundred turkeys and a heap of Christmas pudding, with mountains of Cribbage wizard crackers.

In the afternoon, many boys went outside to have snowball fights in the snow, while most of the girls stayed in the castle, and some even started dressing up early.

Ada didn't know about the other colleges. Anyway, the girls' dormitory in Gryffindor became as noisy as the vegetable market, and girls were yelling everywhere.Some borrowed curling irons, and some borrowed quick-acting hair smoother. On weekdays, a few girls with ingenuity also turned into Teacher Tony, and there were long queues at the door of several dormitories.

Ada stayed in the dormitory honestly, lying on the bed flipping through a magazine, which she had confiscated from a senior sister two days ago.A fashion magazine in the wizarding world, but Ada reads it very seriously, and she may not study so seriously.

Seeing the models in the magazine quickly tie up their hair in a gorgeous way, Ada's smooth forehead was full of question marks.What did I just see?How did this lock of hair get past?How did the top of her head, which was so collapsed just now, suddenly thicken?
It's magic!Must be magical magic!
Putting down the magazine, Ada picked up a strand of her hair to try it out, and then she threw the fashion magazine far away.Everything in fashion magazines is indeed a lie!
Ada, dizzy and short of breath, chose to lie flat, but she gave up.After a while, Ada fell asleep.

The sky was getting dark, and Angelina, Alia, and Katie didn't return to the dormitory until almost seven o'clock. They had just returned from a senior's styling.

Pushing open the door, the three of them saw Ada sleeping deeply on the bed.There was only more than an hour left before the dance, and the three of them couldn't care less, and immediately woke up Ada roughly.

"What time is it? Is it time for dinner?" Ada asked in a daze, her eyes half-closed, obviously not waking up.

Angelina pulled Ada up from the bed without saying a word, and Alia slapped her on the back, and Ada's drowsiness dissipated immediately.

Looking at the well-dressed friends in front of her, and looking at the night outside the window, Ada finally regained consciousness.
