Chapter 360 Long-lost Lupine (thanks to
Throughout December, Rove took Shirley across mountains and rivers, taking a tour of his back garden—the Forbidden Forest.
Along the way, the two saw a lot of magnificent scenery, but they had to temporarily end this wonderful trip before they finished the Forbidden Forest.
Because... the Christmas holidays are coming.
As the holiday approached, the weather became colder, the castle was covered with thick snow, and countless icicles hung down from the spiers, like twinkling crystal spears, making Hogwarts look extremely white.
The atmosphere in the school is also extremely warm, filled with Christmas joy everywhere.
Hagrid dragged twelve huge gray-green spruces into the castle, and placed them in the center of the Great Hall. The trees were decorated with fluttering fairies, shimmering;
Professor McGonagall scraped out huge ice cubes from the black lake, and used transfiguration to conjure ice sculptures of various shapes. When using the spell "Ice Sculptures Out", they would jump up and make a crunching sound;
Professor Flitwick taught everyone to use the Fireworks Charm in class. Just wave the wand, and the tip of the wand can eject a small firework.
Sirius was even more extravagant, he bought a mile-long firecracker, and it exploded from morning to night, making the sound of firecrackers going off all day long.
Now no one is saying that Christmas isn't festive anymore.
Even Snape hid a Nat in the potion in class to celebrate Christmas, and whoever drank it would get a whole year of "blessing".
However, considering that the Nat was scraped out by Snape from dried dragon dung, it was all pulped... This is obviously a blessing that no one wants.
What excites the little wizards most is that before the Christmas holidays, they can take advantage of the last weekend to visit Hogsmeade.
In the early morning, sitting in the Thestral carriage, Rove, Shirley and Hermione all fell asleep at the same time.
Hermione was shocked when she saw Rove and Shirley lying there sleeping, she sat up and said:
"Why are you two so sleepy? Why did you go last night?"
The sleepy Rove yawned. Recently, he took Shirley to run toward the Forbidden Forest at night every day. Can he not be sleepy during the day?
He tilted his head, and said softly: "During this time, I have been studying the knowledge of magical animals in depth, and stayed up for a few nights."
Hermione snorted and said with concern, "Then you two should pay attention to your health."
Shirley's delicate body curled up, lying on her side in the carriage, with her arms resting on her pillow, she opened and closed one eye, and said softly:
"Hermione, you should pay attention to your body after taking ten classes a day and constantly using the time-turner."
"But it's worth learning so many lessons." Hermione lay back on the carriage again.
Rove slept between the two girls, looked at the roof of the car, and persuaded:
"It's better to tell Professor McGonagall to choose fewer courses. Professor Dumbledore is so powerful that he didn't choose all the courses. If you can't chew as much as you want, you have to give it up."
Hermione frowned, she really wanted to give up Professor Trelawney's divination class now.
Muggle studies aren't interesting either, and Professor Caredy Bubbaji doesn't seem to know as much about Muggles as she does.
The most important thing is that using the time-turner also increases the age. Hermione doesn't want Rove and Shirley to be young and invincible eighteen years old after graduation, and she is already an older aunt in her twenties!
The carriage swayed, and the three of them quickly huddled together and fell asleep.
Crouchshanks squatting in the corner, looking at Rove, Shirley and Hermione lying side by side, couldn't help wrinkling his flat ginger persimmon face.
Crookshanks wanted to lie down and sleep too, but the space was already taken up by the three of them, leaving him nowhere to go.
Even though it is such a big carriage, it doesn't deserve to lie down!
Rolf was actually just in a light sleep, and when the carriage stopped, he opened his eyes, then woke Shirley and Hermione, and went to the Three Broomsticks together.
They didn't come here to play today, but to meet a friend they haven't seen for a long time.
After arriving at the Three Broomsticks, Rove opened the door and entered. He saw that the business was booming and the place was overcrowded. A witch was dealing with a group of noisy customers at the bar.
Mrs. Rosmerta, the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks, is still charming and extremely beautiful even though she is over forty years old.
This kind of mid-mature witch is already ripe and very feminine, so many students at Hogwarts have a crush on her.
In the corner of the bar, Sirius stood up, waved vigorously and said, "Here, Rove!"
The three of them walked towards the corner and sat down on the chairs.
There were two other wizards sitting beside Sirius, both wearing hats, one of them pushed up the brim of his hat and said with a smile:
"Rove, Shirley, long time no see, how are you two doing?"
"You're doing okay." Rove smiled and said, "Lupine, you seem to be doing well, and you've gained a lot of weight."
Shirley also greeted with a smile. She went to the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary last summer and learned a lot of magic with Lupin with Rove, so she got close to each other.
Lu Ping, who hadn't seen him for a long time, had indeed gained a lot of weight, and his complexion was much better than before. He was no longer wearing tattered clothes, but a very decent robe.
Obviously, during the two years he worked in the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve, he had saved a lot of money, and he was no longer as embarrassed as when the Orient Express first met.
"Rove, I still have to apologize to you." Lupine said apologetically, "You introduced me to a job, but I resigned halfway."
It is very difficult for a werewolf to find a job. After all, he has to disappear for a few days every month. After a long time, no matter how slow others are, they can find the problem.
Lupine has been earning money by doing day jobs and part-time jobs for a long time, but this kind of cheap work can only ensure that he will not starve to death.
Rove introduced Lupine to a high-paying job, and he didn't mind the kind of job he asked for leave every month, but he resigned directly.
"Lupine, you are also looking for Pettigrew Peter." Rove said indifferently: "Besides, you were hired because of your ability, not because of me...don't worry, just forget about it."
"That's right, anyway, the two of us already owe Rove a lot of favors, and we'll pay it back slowly in the future." Sirius laughed and said:
"What do you three little guys want to drink? This is Hogsmeade, you can drink some high-strength alcohol... How about some mead first?"
"No." Rove shook his head and said, "The two of them don't drink well, so butter beer will do."
Shirley and Hermione would be fine if they just didn't hold enough alcohol, and neither did their wine taste.
Last Christmas, at the Pig's Head Bar in Aberforth, the two got drunk and drove Rove drunk together... The teenager can still vividly remember it.
The two of them were completely drunk and messed up, and they didn't remember it when they woke up.
If a girl is drunk, Rove can handle it alone, but if both of them are drunk...he won't be able to sleep tonight.
