Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Obviously, Elena's wings began to "knot" long before being promoted to Reserve Major Arcana.

It is true that at the very beginning, even if the three of Hermione, Hannah, and Luna worked together, they often couldn't resist Elena's lust.

But with the passage of time, Hermione, Hannah, and Luna, whether they are magical, skillful, or intellectual or physical, starting from this semester, the three of them can barely suppress Elena with their combined efforts—of course, the premise The condition is that Elena has to choose to be a talented person.

However, this loose "anti-white hair dumpling" alliance is often fragile and lacks tacit understanding.

After realizing that Hermione and Luna took the initiative to start a group, Elena did not hesitate to choose to do it directly.

While Hannah didn’t react, with her overwhelming power, Hermione was caught by Elena before she could run away, turned over and squatted on the soft couch, and slapped her a few times. , As a punishment for her initiative to initiate an "involution" offensive method.

"A good attempt, but remember to explain clearly next time, or communicate with allies well in advance—"

Elena let go of Hermione, letting the little Beaver shrank to the other side of the sofa quickly, clutching her **** and glaring at her.

And until then, Hannah, who was still eating roast geese, understood in Luna’s whispered explanation, and later protected Miss Lovegood, who was not attacked by revenge behind her, with a vigilant look on her face. Stare at Elena, in case Elena rushes over to bully Luna with strange power.

"Okay, don't look at me with that look, I'm not a bad person-just put your pile of approvals there, and send it to the principal's office through the Floo network later, let the'high tower' and ' The Pope' just do it... Let’s count as compensation for deceiving us."

In fact, even if Hannah didn't take the initiative to ask for help, she would help Hanhan solve those tasks later.

Due to the "Secret Chamber Hunting" project, Hannah, Luna, and Hermione have not spent the holiday with their family as usual. In this case, Elena will not be so perverted that she has to wield a whip to force her. They are working overtime at Christmas to approve documents or something.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it is Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Anyway, the two idle old wizards spend the holidays every day.

A few minutes later, Luna, Hannah and others returned to the Hufflepuff Lounge, with excitement flashing on everyone's face.

Under Elena’s control, they put the approval documents for the next few days and even their homework in the principal’s office, and they also arrogantly left a note for “explaining” on the desk—it’s them. Things that I didn't even dare to think about before.

However, as Hanna appeared from the bedroom holding a pile of gifts, the happiness in Hermione and Luna's hearts was like a punctured balloon slipping away.

Since there are many adult wizards in the castle at this time, and perhaps even some of their servants, at least for today, their scope of activities is limited to the common room of Hufflepuff College, the Hogwarts kitchen, Between these three places in the principal's office.

Except for these three places with two-way "local flyway networks", they can't go anywhere.

There are too many secrets in Hogwarts today, and the appearance of the three of them is undoubtedly the biggest doubt and trouble. In order to prevent those prying eyes from outside the school, Dumbledore and others even used privileges to lock down the colleges in advance. The entrance:

The fat lady from Gryffindor College went out to drop in;

Ravenclaw’s eagle ring problem is temporarily locked to verify the four-color theorem;

A magic enchantment was cast on the Slytherin stone wall, the reason was to prevent the basilisk from escaping into the dormitory.

As for Hufflepuff, which is closest to the kitchen, the same magic enchantment was set up on the Slytherin side. After all, these two academies are all located in the basement of Hogwarts main castle. If the basilisk has a chance to escape upwards, The lounges of both colleges may become hiding places.

This means...

The Christmas presents Hermione and Luna had prepared before could not be given out for the time being.

The house elves at Hogwarts took all the gifts from other friends for them, but there were no gifts that they had prepared for Hannah and Elena respectively—the house elves didn’t dare to flip through the wizard’s stuff. There is no alternative.

"There shouldn't be a curfew tonight, or, after the wizards are gone, let's go upstairs quickly?"

Hermione said, closing the singing storybook Hannah gave her, and turning her head to look at Elena with pleading eyes.

"It will be fine for a little while, at least you can open the present I gave you on Christmas Day instead of waiting until the next day—"

"Well, I can still use phantom magic." Luna's silver-gray eyes also stared at Elena.

"It's not difficult to go out. After all, we can go out from the kitchen, but we still can't get in the common rooms of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor." Elena shrugged, helplessly the third time. Or explain for the fourth time, "These are not things that I can decide. The power to block the lounge comes from the principal's order. This must be unlocked by Professor Dumbledore, but at least tonight..."

"Oh."

"Ok."

After trying one last time, Hermione and Luna sat down somewhat disappointed.

In fact, during this time, Elena also explained other possible reasons.

For example, referring to the original anti-"secret arrest of Quirrell" exposure, there are too many reporters and Ministry of Magic employees who arrived at Hogwarts Castle today. After the banquet is over, they might even go sightseeing in the school. Take a stroll.

They tried not to walk around randomly before they had completely cleaned up the "eavesdropping" magic that might remain in the castle.

"Sorry, I didn't expect...this Christmas might be a bit boring..."

Glancing at the lost Hermione and Luna, Elena said a little uneasy, and she squeezed her clothes rather annoyingly.

Compared with the ease in various big plans, she spends much less thought on festivals and play. Last year, if Dumbledore and Grindelwald hadn't helped fill the vacancies, she would not even remember Christmas gifts. Go and give it to friends.

Although there was a slight improvement this year, I just remembered that I prepared the gift, and didn't take into account the thoughts of Hermione and Luna.

The threat limit of the basilisk remaining in the secret room in Slytherin was too high.

Even in the original book, this is just a simple copy of Harry with one sword and one man, plus a single brush with Phoenix Fox.

But when reality is in front of Elena, she does not hope that the world line that has long been tuned into her shape will play a role. Whenever the indirect confrontation in the original book has an accidental change, it is a human life. She did not intend to give Death any chance.

Obviously, this is arguably the place where the butterfly effect is most likely to occur and eventually lead to accidental death.

Therefore, before the basilisk completely died, Elena’s nerves were almost tense—the Huberian’s full firepower coverage is not just a word, if the basilisk showed more lethality than expected, Irene Na can even directly level the Black Lake in order to kill it.

And the consequence of this attention is...

She hardly thought about how boring the other little Wings’ Christmas would be if everything went well.

"I mean, we stayed on the Huberian from last night to prepare the battle plan. We spent most of the day snorkeling in the water, and we couldn't do anything else in the evening, nor could we go to the auditorium or go home. A normal Christmas... I'm sorry..."

Elena put her fingers around the silver hair hanging on her shoulders, and said dejectedly.

As Miss Fool, all she did was admit her mistakes. After all, it was related to the future of too many people.

"Huh?! How boring, what are you talking about, it's more interesting than going home for Christmas—"

Before Elena could finish her words, Hannah interrupted with a weird look, then grabbed the scarf and rolled it into a ball and threw it on Elena's head.

"As you know, the Broken Cauldron Tavern is our family’s business. Christmas can be said to be the busiest time. Many homeless wizards, aliens, and foreign tourists temporarily stranded in the UK will all be here on this day. Came to the Broken Cauldron Tavern. Our family is going to help, not to mention the drinks, turkey, pies, cakes, these ingredients, we have to help them clean up their resting place and watch them stop making trouble—"

Hannah hugged her pillow and lay on the soft big bed, rolling lazily on it, remembering the Christmas before.

"Such a busy scene, at least until the next afternoon-as for Christmas banquets or something, we seem to be with the guests in the store-it's scary to think about it, do you know, last time I went back Almost embarrassed to death, the wall is full of my pictures..."

As if recalling something terrible again, Hannah buried her head in the pillow and arched it, as if she was going to smother herself to death.

As she worked as a full-time commentator, model, and writer on "Hogwarts on the Bite of the Tongue" and "The Contradictory", every time she went back to the Broken Cauldron Tavern to help, without exception, she would not have any thoughts. The idea of ​​smashing the walls of her house, especially when the uncle comes occasionally, he will pick up the "food review draft" signed by her and read it once, and even sway her to stand on the table and recite.

However, the only comfort is...

Ever since she was extremely angry and violent, she smashed the wine table with a punch and threw the fighting drunk out of the tavern. The old customers in the ruined cauldron tavern did not dare to tease her too hard, if she was knocked down by Hannah. , That's something that will be laughed at by drinkers for months.

"Is it so busy? But why don't you choose to rest on Christmas?"

Hermione looked at Hannah who was rolling around on the bed, and asked puzzledly.

"Mum said that the Broken Cauldron Tavern is one of the few places in the UK that is still open for Christmas—"

Hannah lifted her head from the pillow, recalling what her mother had said before, watching Hermione explain seriously.

"As long as we are still there, then those homeless wizards and people traveling abroad will always find a place to stay. No matter how unlucky they are in the past year, at least they will have a place at the end of the year. Warm and happy ending."

"Of course, sometimes it's not so warm and happy—"

Hannah's face collapsed, with an unbearable expression on her face, "For example, the door often leaks, and the guests cry when they drink too much. I remember once even fighting in a pub. In the end, more than a dozen people were caught. The coma spell was put down, and the corridors of the guest rooms were full of sleep."

"What about you? Hermione, what is Christmas like in the non-magical world?"

"Actually, it's not much better—"

Hermione shrugged a little helplessly, spreading her hands, half complaining, half-confessed explanation.

"You may not know that my parents are both dentists-although they can take a break at Christmas, they have to go to work the next morning. Patients who see their teeth during Christmas can be arranged from morning to night. So we usually simply eat I had a meal, and then I took a rest early..."

In fact, before coming to Hogwarts to study, she spent every day during the Christmas holidays alone.

Perhaps it was because I started to live on campus for a long time. After returning home last summer, Mr. Granger made an unprecedented proposal to arrange a family excursion tour next year. As for the travel location, it was temporarily set in France, but that would have to wait until the end of the school year and the next holiday. That's it.

"Luna, where's your house? You..."

"We haven't spent Christmas at home for several years. Dad has always been writing manuscripts these years—"

Luna hugged her golden unicorn doll, whispered in a erratic voice, staring at the burning fireplace in a daze.

When she was a child, long before her old father joined the Grand Arcana, let alone Christmas, the non-publication period of "The Devil" would even run through December to January, according to Mr. Lovegood. Yes-there will be no reminders for the holidays anyway, and there will be no reminders.

And every time at this time, my mother would always find a way to conjure up a sumptuous Christmas dinner, coaxing my father to save some papers.

This is almost a fixed part of the Lovegood family Christmas every year.

Until, later...

Luna's eyes dimmed a little. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Since the first two years, they will not celebrate every Christmas.

Xenophylius Lovegood never mentioned any more about asking for leave. Christmas seemed to have disappeared from Lovegood’s house, and it was replaced by a repressive, somewhat silent December 25th. No. Luna never took the initiative to say anything.

"Uh-"

Hannah, who was the opener of the topic, blinked, looked at Hermione and Luna, who had become more depressed, and looked at Elena asking for help.

Even if she reacts slowly, Hanna can still detect the emotions of her friends—did she say something wrong again?

"Well, let's put it this way, when I was in the orphanage before, Christmas was still..."

Elena was about to help Hannah try to restore the atmosphere, but she was stunned when she was halfway through her words.
