Chapter 206 Before Christmas
Chapter 206 Before Christmas
Ever since Krum knew that Krum was interested in Hermione, Kerry had kept a close eye on Hermione. Hermione had been very low-key in the past few years. She was usually either with Kerry or the others or reading in the library. She has done something eye-catching, and her face has not grown in the past few years. Unexpectedly, after she showed a little improvement this year, she would be spotted by hostile personnel from another school.
Hermione was having a very happy time these days. Originally, she was worried that Kerry would be raped by other girls to be her dance partner. But now it's okay. Someone has made her a target, and she has become the object of Kerry's care. This kind of I feel quite happy. But in retrospect, Kerry had cared about her for the past few years, but now he cared even more.
In the lounge, Kerry was sitting in front of the fireplace, thinking about something unknown, but from the weird smile on his face from time to time, it seemed that he was definitely thinking about something. Hermione was reading a book seriously next to him, completely ignoring his expression.
Harry and the others were still not with them today. They all went to practice dancing with their own dance partners. Snoopy and the others also disappeared. Even the toad Leif, who usually slept lazily, disappeared. If it hadn't always appeared on Neville's bed on time at night, everyone would have suspected that it had gone to hibernate.
"I'm going to the library, are you going?" Hermione asked.
"Go! You must take me with you in such a dangerous place as the library!" Kerry said matter-of-factly.
Hermione rolled her eyes at him. How could there be any danger in the library? He was not afraid that Krum would abduct her. But she didn't say these words, she just said lightly, "Let's go!"
The two of them walked side by side in the corridor.
Hermione: "Do you think we should practice dancing? I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself then! I've only practiced dancing for a short period of time."
Kerry: "It's okay. As long as you appear on the stage, you will be the most beautiful presence in the room. Even if you can't dance, no one will laugh at you."
"You are telling lies again."
"No, I'm serious, at least in my mind you are."
"Okay! Since you say so, then I can only accept it reluctantly."
Hermione smiled happily, folded her hands behind her back, and skipped towards the library.
......
The professors at Hogwarts want to impress their guests at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, so they're determined to show off the castle in its best light this Christmas.
On this day, the school was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. In the past, the students would definitely be assigned some work that they could do, but this time it was not. The professors worked alone throughout the whole process, and they wanted to make everything as perfect as possible.
In this way, Kerry and the others saw the most gorgeous side of the castle since entering the school. The handrails of the marble stairs are covered with icicles that will never melt, and the twelve Christmas trees customarily placed in the auditorium are decorated with various baubles, from shiny holly berries to various A live golden owl that stopped hooting. The armors were enchanted so that they would sing Christmas carols whenever anyone passed by.
Even Peeves, who was usually mischievous, became quiet and polite today. However, he would sing Christmas carols whenever anyone came near him, but he really had no talent for singing, and his lyrics were often out of tune, causing people who listened to him not to want to get close to him anymore.
"Hey, Peeves, your singing is a bit special!" Kerry walked up to Peeves and said.
Peeves knew that the other party was teasing him, so he said righteously: "I can guarantee that I am famous for singing well at Hogwarts, but you don't know how to appreciate it."
"Hey, confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is a bad thing."
"Okay! I admit that you are right. I really don't have any singing talent. But I have a very good dancing talent. Do you want me to dance for you?"
"Let's save it for the night of the dance! I believe your dance will ignite the whole audience."
The semester ended a week before the Yule Ball, but no students left the school. No one wanted to miss this grand banquet. Although the lower grades could not attend, it could not stop their curiosity.
Recently, Fred and George used their pocket money that has skyrocketed in recent years to develop a prank cookie-canary cookie. This is a magical biscuit that makes people suddenly grow feathers after eating it.
Soon the two biscuits were sold out, and the money they had spent on research and development had been made back several times.
However, not long after they were happy, they were visited by Professor McGonagall in person, because people who bought their products were doing it for pranks. The professors believed that such pranks had affected the image of Hogwarts, especially some Booths. After Barton and Durmstrang's students were recruited, professors took the matter more seriously.
Then Fred and George were fined for cleaning the whole school and banned from selling canary biscuits. All the money earned before was transferred to Mr. Weasley.
Not only that, they were soon on the receiving end of a howling letter from their mother, Molly. Their rants were not the kind that Kerry would use to show off, but were full of curses, for which they caused laughter from all the students in the three schools.
However, the two did not lose their motivation to develop prank products. Instead, they aroused their competitiveness. They decided to develop a product that even if others knew what caused their product, they could not find any evidence to correct them.
Heavy snow fell on the castle and grounds. Beauxbatons' light blue carriage is hung with a magic lamp that emits blue light and matches the university to give it a different kind of beauty.
A layer of ice formed on the sides of Durmstrang's ship, which became smooth and translucent, and the sail ropes were also stained with a layer of white frost, making it look like it had jagged teeth, making it even more ferocious and terrifying from a distance.
On Christmas morning, Harry woke with a start. As he opened his eyes, he wondered what had suddenly awakened him. He saw something with two big, round green eyes looking at him in the darkness. The thing was very close to him, almost nose to nose.
"Ah!" he shouted.
Everyone woke up, and everyone thought they had encountered an enemy. However, when they saw Dobby, they realized that Harry had been frightened.
"Dobby, why are you here?" Kerry asked, rubbing his groggy eyes.
"Little Master Kerry, I have a day off today! Master Lucius gave me a day off today, so I came to Hogwarts to meet Winky and teach her some dishes I learned from Nick and Mr. Waugh."
"Oh! Then why are you here?"
Dobby's expression became serious when he heard this question, "When Master Lucius passed by me today, he said that there will be trouble at Hogwarts this school year, so I came here to inform everyone."
"Oh!" Everyone agreed casually, and then went back to sleep when they were sleepy, and got up and brushed their teeth when they woke up.
Dobby looked at everyone's expressions and said in disbelief: "Aren't you nervous? This matter may be related to that person."
"We all know about Dobby. This is all part of the plan. Please don't tell anyone else about this, okay?" Kerry said.
Dobby hesitated for a moment, but he still respected Kerry's words, so he agreed, but before leaving, he reminded him again.
