I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Speaking of which, Ron had to take the blame for the coquettish operation of buckling Harry's "eye".

Who told him to change Snape's formula with a "flash of inspiration" in the Potions class, and he was awarded points... It caused many students to have the illusion that "I can do it myself".

It's just that no one else has as big a brain as Ron and Harry, and they are indeed second only to the idiot duo of Neville and Hannah... crouching dragon and phoenix chick.

After separating from Ginny and the others, Rove walked out of the castle, stood under the steps, and looked at the beautiful scenery of Hogwarts after the winter snow:

In the morning light, from the gate of the castle to the Quidditch pitch, the Black Lake, and then to the snow-capped ridge in the distance, it looks like a vast snowy sea.

Rove admired it for a while, and someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. The boy turned around and saw a familiar face looking at him with a smile on his face.

Shirley was wearing a blue robe, a slender ponytail tied with a silver hair rope, simple, extremely plain...but even so, she was still extremely beautiful.

The girl tiptoed, gently patted the falling snow on Rove's head and shoulders, and said with a smile, "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas!" Seeing the girl warming her hands, Rove asked, "Is it cold?"

"It's okay." Shirley opened her collar slightly, revealing a snow-white fleece. She said softly, "Your body is still very warm."

The unicorn fur clothes Rove gave to the girl last year were originally a little too big, but with Shirley's growth... this year it just fit.

"Where's Hermione?" Rove tilted his head and looked towards the castle.

"I didn't see her either, she should still be in the Gryffindor lounge."

"Then let's go find the carriage first." Rove looked back and said.

The girl with ponytails hummed lightly, stepped over several steps, and stepped on the snow with one foot, the soles of her feet suddenly slipped, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Rove reached out in time and supported the girl's slender waist.

Rove let go of his hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

Shirley blushed and shook her head.

The two walked side by side on the deep snow-covered road, each step made a creaking sound of stepping on the snow, leaving two rows of clear footprints, one big and one small, from the castle to the stable.

In the stable, stood a group of scrawny magical creatures with bat-like wings and black fur tightly attached to the skeleton, lowering their heads to bite a large piece of ox bone.

Seeing someone approaching, all thestrals raised their heads and stared at him with white eyes without pupils.

Shirley couldn't see the Thestrals, and could only listen to Rove describing the appearance of this magical creature to her.

"Just ride it!"

Rove picked a Thestral, hung the carriage on it, and then the two sat in the carriage and returned to the castle.

Today is Christmas, and they are going to visit Professor McGonagall's house later.

That's right, it's Professor McGonagall's house, not her office!

Although Professor McGonagall has stayed at Hogwarts all year round, she actually has a small house in Hogsmeade.

Last year, Shirley, who stayed at Hogwarts, went to Professor McGonagall's house to spend Christmas with her, and this year is no exception.

The carriage rang a crisp bell, ran towards the castle, slowed down on the long sloping driveway, and finally stopped in front of the castle.

Hermione had already arrived, and she was standing at the gate of the castle waiting for the two of them. When Rove got out of the car, he was also stunned when he saw the girl's appearance.

Hermione was completely transformed, she was wearing a brand new robe, and instead of carrying her big thick schoolbag, she was carrying a small handbag.

The disheveled hair is also very smooth on the shoulders, and it seems that the whole person's temperament has changed a lot.

Seeing Rove and Shirley, Hermione was a little embarrassed and said:

"Sorry, I'm late, this hair is too difficult to manage, I have been doing it for a long time... I will never do it again!"

Rove looked at Hermione, if it weren't for the familiar pair of big and white front teeth, he would hardly have recognized the little girl.

Seeing that Rove and Shirley were staring at her, Hermione scratched her hair, and said with a little embarrassment, "Is it weird that I dress like this?"

"Not really!" Shirley took Hermione's hand and said softly, "It's beautiful!"

Rove couldn't help smiling, and sincerely praised: "It's pretty good."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Let's go." Rove withdrew his gaze, opened the door of the carriage, Shirley bent down and sat in the carriage, followed by Hermione.

Thestrals galloped across the snow, making a crisp tick-tock sound, and the carriage quickly drove out of Hogwarts and headed towards Hogsmeade.

in the carriage,

The magic fire for heating was lit, so it wasn't too cold.

The two girls leaned closer to their heads, chirping softly, thinking about which attractions to visit today.

"We're going to visit Professor McGonagall first, and then we'll go to Zuko Joke Shop, and the Screaming Shack is also worth seeing..."

Rove didn't interrupt, just sat in the carriage and read a book quietly. He slowly flipped through the book in his hand, reading it very seriously, and the flickering firelight reflected the handsome face of the young man.

Then he heard the two little girls discussing the presents for Professor McGonagall.

Shirley prepared a shawl that she wove by hand, but Hermione couldn't get enough of what she wove, so she sent a set of books.

Seeing that Rove's hands were empty, Shirley asked, "Rove, where's your gift?"

"I let the owl deliver it last night." Rove explained, "It's not easy to bring a large object there alone."

"What did you get?" Hermione asked curiously.

"A very practical thing, Professor McGonagall will definitely need it!" Rove raised his head and said proudly: "Cat climbing frame!"

"..."

...

...

Hogsmeade Village,

As the only purely wizarding village in England, it was founded by the medieval wizard Woodcroft Hengis.

Hogsmeade is almost as old as Hogwarts, and the two sides can be regarded as interdependent.

With Christmas approaching, the village is decorated, with holly wreaths hanging from all the shops and enchanted clusters of bonfires.

In the northwest corner of the village, away from the hustle and bustle, there is a white house with two trees planted at the door:

One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.

At this time, a tabby cat jumped out from the window. She walked in the snow for a few times, felt her feet were cold, shook her paws, and hurried back into the warm room.

Still snuggled up by the fireplace, reading the latest Quidditch magazine...she could lie all day!

At this moment, the bell rang, a carriage stopped at the door, and a boy and two girls came down.

The tabby cat quickly turned back into Professor McGonagall, she opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Professor McGonagall, Merry Christmas."

Shirley and Hermione sent blessings and Christmas presents respectively.

Professor McGonagall looked at the two girls with a gentle smile, these were her two favorite students.

But Professor McGonagall was particularly surprised when she saw Hermione. She almost didn't recognize such a beautiful little girl.

Fortunately, the pair of front teeth reminded her!

When Rove greeted him, Professor McGonagall restrained his smile and said with a straight face:

"Mr. Scamander, when I was looking through presents this morning, I saw a cat climbing frame... Did you write the wrong address?"

"No, it's for you." Rove said softly, "Don't you like cedar wood? Or don't you like the catnip on it?"

"Rove, I beg you to be sober." Professor McGonagall laughed angrily, "Although my Animagus is a cat, I'm not a real cat."

"Don't give me any weird gifts in the future! Otherwise, I don't guarantee that you will be fired like your grandfather Newt."

"..."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, and she suddenly showed the look of anticipation when she played "Stone Pillar", and smiled:

"By the way, I can use Transfiguration to turn you into a cat and let you play on the cat climbing frame for a day. Do you want to try it?"

"Then return the cat climbing frame!" Luo Fu sighed, "I'll give you another gift, by the way, where is the cat climbing frame?

Since you don't like it and don't use it, you probably haven't assembled it yet, right? "

Professor McGonagall: "..."
