When Hermione met the professor the next day, it was breakfast, and after the owl had flown the letter, the headmaster told the story of the previous night in front of the whole school, and added points to both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.The blue hourglass made a rattling sound, and the unit of measurement in it had risen by a large margin, and what she did would be recorded in school history, and the headmaster might have thought that Hermione had contributed more, giving her more points than the other two girls combined, but Hermione didn't care, the allure of the House Cup was almost zero.She noticed that the boy at the Gryffindor table was looking at her with envy, as if he was hungry for scores.In fact, Mr.
Potter was still in a state of frustration at this time, for yesterday there were all kinds of signs that someone was trying to lead him to the corridor on the fourth floor.There is a note with 4F written on it in the drinking cup, you can hear weird laughter when you pass by the fourth floor, birds flying outside the window are in a '4' shape in the air, and so on.Of course, this is also the result now, and it is only in hindsight that when he asked Ron and Neville about these 'omens' yesterday, they both thought he was thinking too much.Ron couldn't offer any valuable advice at all, and thought that Potter was suspicious and told him to go to bed early.Harry had a weird dream last night.Hermin received Harry's envious eyes, but thought he was naïve, because the House Cup was obviously nothing good, and it seemed too silly to work hard for it.But when the principal called on all the students to applaud her, the little girl still blushed and raised her head, looking very happy.She looked at the PE teacher in the teacher's seat, and wondered what the professors had discussed after she and Hannah had left last night, but Professor Wilson looked radiant today.He winked at her.She felt that it was a good day, and even Professor Snape, on the other side, seemed to look at her much gentlely.It's just that she didn't sleep well last night, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the sight of Voldemort's head exploding in front of her, and there was almost no transition from killing a monster to killing a person, too fast.She needs to think about it herself.Halloween did calm down for a few days, with Quidditch matches at Hogwarts taking place every weekend, each time with two teams facing each other, rotating in turn.Gryffindor was played by Mr.
Potter, who had a unique talent for catching the Snitch, which meant that the game ended relatively quickly.The match between the Eagle House and the Badger House was different, it was a heavy snowfall and the snowflakes floating in the air affected the vision, which was a nightmare.Because only if the Golden Snitch is caught, the game is over, and if it is not caught, it will continue endlessly.The game lasted until the next morning, when everyone except the team was gone, three hours into the game, as December in Scotland was clearly not suitable for long outdoor sit-ins.Hermione was no exception, although she was invited by Zhang Qiu to take a look at the beginning, but she slipped away early, and she couldn't understand why there was such an unreasonable thing as the Golden Snitch.More than that, she was more concerned about whether she would apply to stay at school during the Christmas period.Hogwarts has three holidays a year, the Christmas break, the Halloween break, and the boring summer break.Hermione is facing the winter break that began at Christmas, which is not long, about twenty days.First of all, the heads of each house will begin to collect the list of students who will stay on campus for Christmas in the second week of December, and the students who will be determined to leave for home will begin to book seats on the Hogwarts Express train en masse a week later.With two weeks to go until the end of the semester, Christmas decorations begin in the castle, with professors decorating their classrooms, prefects supervising the decoration of the castle, watching the first and second graders who stay indoors during recess because of the cold weather, and patrolling the corridors with Filch in shifts, as Filch suspects that fights may increase during the holidays.At the same time, the teachers of each course will assign holiday homework, and the few courses may have a semester summary, such as Professor Snape, who hinted that Harry was going to poison him on Christmas Eve, so suggested that Mr.
Potter not forget how the antidote was prepared.There is a rumor circulating among well-informed Badger House classmates that the famous Harry Potter has told an unnamed red-haired boy that he will not be returning home for Christmas and plans to go directly to the school hospital so that he can be treated in time after being poisoned.On the last weekend of the semester, students from the third grade and above can visit Hogsmeade Village with the permission of their parents or guardians, and most students choose to buy Christmas gifts at this time.That's how it goes to school, shopping, getting in the car, going home, and coming back after the holidays.And the senior sister told Hermione that if you choose to stay in school, on Christmas Day, the Christmas gift package you receive will be piled up at the foot of your bed, and of course some friends will decide to give it to you in person.At noon, go to the lobby to enjoy a Christmas dinner with the students, faculty and staff, and there will be Christmas refreshments in the afternoon, and a Christmas ball will be held in the evening, and you can enjoy the banquet at the ball.During the Christmas season, you can feel free to run around the campus, go to the open space for a snowball fight, or do whatever you want in the common room.Hermione wanted to go home for the holidays, eat with her parents and watch TV, she hadn't watched TV in a long time, and she almost forgot where the series was playing before she came.But she wanted to stay at school, after all, it was the first time to experience Christmas in the wizarding world, to be able to eat turkey with the headmaster and professors, and Professor Wilson had to say that he would take her to the village to play, and that there was a dragon slaying project that had been agreed for a long time.She was so torn that she couldn't help but think that if only there was a way to break herself in half, or to make herself appear in different places at the same time.But there shouldn't be such a thing, right?
Even if magic is magical, there are no tools that can manipulate time, right?
In the last week before the Christmas break, her struggle continued, and she asked the dean to give her more time to decide whether to get in the car or not.Professor Flitwick graciously offered to make an exception for Hermione, and if she did decide to go home, she could sit in his faculty box.As she thought about it, Hermione was still sitting on a bench in the hallway on the eighth floor, biting her nails, previewing her fourth-year Advanced Potions class.It's actually quieter than the common room, and the air is better.In her hand was an old textbook given to her by a physical education professor, with a lot of handwriting in the margins of almost every page.The handwriting has either changed the original text of the book, or recorded some new potions and magic, indicating that the original owner of the book was very clever and thoughtful.Hermione experimented with a few things, and it was true that compared to the original method in the book, the improved configuration process was more convenient, faster, and more effective.She also learns a magic called 'Upside Down Admiralty', which looks like a prank and hangs people headfirst.The little girl wanted to know more about the book's past owner, but there was no name on the title page, and the name column only read 'Half-Blood Prince'.She had looked up books on the history of magic, but the man didn't exist in history.She asked the physical education professor where she got the book, and he told her that she had picked it up from a spider cave while walking in the Forbidden Forest.Then the professor told the story of his battle with hundreds of spiders, and finally got the book, and said that it was a pity that the original owner of the textbook had been eaten by spiders, and the ashes in the spider cave were raised, which was really miserable.Hermione always felt that he should not believe it, because he smiled suspiciously as he spoke, but he could not find any clues worth investigating, and he did not want to ask a gloomy person like Professor Snape, so he could only admit it in frustration.
