Tom's head was full of black marks, and he was very lucky that he and Hermione had cleaned up the situation more thoroughly and did not reveal any flaws.
While the roommates were discussing which flower had the most fragrant scent, Tom had already changed his clothes. His eyes fell on the pile of gifts at the foot of the bed.
There were many more gifts this year than in previous years. Tom's newly expanded network gave him a lot of things this year. For example, Minister Bones gave him a very exquisite leather notebook with the Ministry of Magic's "
The M" mark made Tom suspicious that it came from a meeting room in the Ministry of Magic. Mr. Borgin, who accepted his asylum, gave him a rosary, which was said to be able to drive away all kinds of insects in the room. Even Lockhart had
I sent him a signed photo.
These things, except for the signed photo, are quite practical. Under these ceremonial gifts are more sincere things from friends. Under the notebook given by Bones, there are gifts from Fred and George.
A big package was given to him, which was filled with gadgets they invented. Since Tom was very close to Fred and George, Mrs. Weasley also gave him a gray sweater with knitting on it.
A silver three-headed dog.
The Grangers sent a set of portable dental rinsers, which was very suitable for their status. Of course, it also made Tom wonder if Hermione had sued him. There should be no peculiar smell in his mouth when he and Hermione kissed.
Right? Tom felt a little guilty. He remembered that he brushed his teeth before going to bed last night, but he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and checked himself. After confirming that his breath was not abnormal, Tom happily said this
The dental irrigator was accepted.
He plans to rinse his teeth every day to flush out the food residues in his teeth. They are the source of cavities, calculus and odor. With this dental rinse, Hermione and his kissing experience will probably be even better.
The previous gifts were all beautifully wrapped, except for what Dumbledore sent. The thing this old man sent was actually wrapped in a pair of wool socks! This gift, which was packed in brand new wool socks, was almost ignored by Tom.
.It was lying quietly next to the box of snacks sent by Hagrid. It was inconspicuous at all. However, although the packaging was simple, this gift was very important to Tom.
Because it contains the potion prepared by Professor Snape for Hermione, she needs to take it once a day, and she must take it at the same time every day as much as possible. Because the potion itself is slightly toxic, her body needs to be given enough time to
Detoxification, but the ingredients that inhibit the curse can only be effective for 24 hours, so it needs to be taken at the same time.
Looking at the timer and "instructions" that came with the potion, Tom felt that it was better to expand the production capacity of the slaughterhouse and arrange the magic stone as soon as possible. Because after reading the "instructions", Tom was sure that he was holding
Not only is it a magic potion that can extend her life, it is also a chronic poison that can kill her!
At this time zuizaOxiaOsh uO.* Zhang Si. If Hermione takes it for a long time, it is hard to say whether Hermione died due to the curse or was poisoned by the medicine.
After taking the potion with a heavy heart, Tom opened the last package. This was a serious Christmas gift from Hermione - a small magic camera. It was somewhat similar to the Polaroid in the non-magical world.
After taking a photo, you can get the photo on the spot. However, this kind of photo is different from the Hogwarts portrait. It is a simple GIF image and cannot make complex responses to external stimuli...
Looking at the camera given by Hermione, Tom came up with a not particularly bold idea.
It seems that I will change my career as a photographer next, he thought.
Compared to the gift Hermione gave him, the gift Tom gave Hermione was much simpler. He gave Hermione a ladies' watch, hoping she would like it.
Of course, as a celebrity in the wizarding world, many people who admire Tom send letters or other things to him and Hermione. But Tom entrusted Dumbledore to collect these things on his behalf, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble——
You can never predict what weird things the wizards in the wizarding world will send you.
After opening the gifts, Tom waited for Hermione in the common room. She smelled delicious. After leaving the dormitory in the morning, she went back to take a shower. After meeting, the two went downstairs to enjoy breakfast together.
Throughout the morning, they stayed in Ravenclaw Tower to kill time until lunch time came. This year, the number of students staying at Hogwarts was the highest ever, and almost no one chose to go home. This also made the Great Hall the same as usual.
Lively - During Christmas in previous years, sometimes all we needed was to set up a round table.
Qiang Xi Read Xi. Since the food at Hogwarts is already rich enough on weekdays, the Christmas lunch only includes some special Christmas delicacies, such as roast turkey, Christmas pudding and Cribbage wizard shortbread cookies.
In the afternoon, Tom and Hermione went to the snow-covered field outside the castle. Harry, Ron and Fred brothers were having a snowball fight there.
At first, it was just a game between a few of them, but more and more people joined in later, and it turned into a melee with dozens of people - students from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff all ran away.
Come over and join in the game.
Using snowball fights to resolve some old grudges may be a good choice. You fouled me during the Quidditch match, and I threw a dung egg under your seat. Small conflicts like this are followed by you and me.
The snowball disappeared without a trace.
Control the big one. Control the owl. Of course, some snowballs have some personal grudges. Harry made a snowball the size of the Quaffle. When he was looking for a target, he saw a snowball with long, waterfall-like black hair.
The girl appeared in Harry's sight holding a snowball.
Harry's heart skipped a beat.
After seeing the snowball in Harry's hand, Qiu Zhang screamed: "Don't hit me!"
Harry thought for a moment, lowered his hand, and smiled sheepishly. He didn't know what to say, but he was very happy just standing near her.

Ginny's expression suddenly turned ugly in the distance.
"Ginny, watch the game!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout and two snowballs rushed towards Ginny. Ginny was caught off guard and was hit by the snowballs one after another.
Fred and George appeared out of nowhere, both holding a bunch of snowballs in their arms.
Seeing that their snowballs were extremely accurate, but their sister's expression did not look happy, Fred and George looked confused: Why can't the little sister get out of the way? This is not in line with her level.
!
They both knew very well that their little sister's athletic talent was very strong. Even if they didn't shout, she should be able to dodge these two snowballs. But why didn't she dodge them today?…
Following the little sister's gaze, Fred and George understood something.
"Here comes the snowball!" After looking at each other, they threw the snowballs in their arms without hesitation.
"Hey, wait a minute -" Hearing the familiar voice, Harry instinctively felt something was wrong. He shook off the snowball in his hand, then opened his cloak and stood in front of Qiu Zhang. Qiang Shi Read Shi
Then, dozens of snowballs fell like raindrops, and one even hit Harry on the head, making a crisp sound.
Harry fell into the snow with Qiu Zhang in his arms.
Ginny's face turned even darker. When Fred and George saw this, they left immediately. No one wanted to stay and cause trouble for their sister.
"These two people..." Harry covered his head and struggled to stand up from the snow. After he stood up straight, he wanted to grab Qiu Zhang, but found that she was already squatting aside and digging at the ground.
"Fight them back? We can't let them go so easily!" Qiu Zhang sent an invitation to Harry.
"Okay!" Harry suddenly felt a special feeling in his heart, and he squatted aside and picked up the big snowball he just had.
After preparing for the battle, the two smiled at each other and went to hunt down Fred and George together.
All this was seen by Ginny, and seeing that her twin brothers had completely had the opposite effect, Ginny was furious. She stamped her feet and went back to the castle.
Hermione on the side ate the melon from beginning to end, showing an extremely satisfied look. As for Tom, at this time, he had already joined the battle with a snowball in his hand, and became one with his classmates physically.
On the other side, Harry and Cho Chang chased Fred and George across almost the entire field, all the way to Durmstrang's big ship.
"Stop, stop!" Fred, who had a guilty conscience, was hit in the head by several snowballs from the two Seekers. He couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hands repeatedly, begging to surrender.
"You should really be a hitter. This accuracy is really amazing..." George also put his hands on his knees and breathed in the cold air. The white steam from his mouth even formed a circle beside him.
Small clouds.
George felt like he had been hit at least five or six times while running all the way. This was a moving target! This accuracy could really make him consider turning into a professional hitter.
Harry and Qiu Zhang were also adjusting their breathing and had no time to reply to them.
"Who is that?" Fred pointed at the Black Lake, looking surprised.
"You can't fool me with this trick." Harry didn't accept Fred's trick at all, but at this moment Qiu Zhang pulled his sleeve and pointed to Durmstrang's big boat on the edge of the Black Lake and said:
"It seems like someone is really coming towards us!"
Only then did Harry believe it. He turned around and found a burly figure staggering towards them. When the man got closer, they realized that the person who came was actually Durmstrang's principal, Ingor Kaka.
Love!
Karkaroff looked a lot more haggard. The mink cloak he wore looked like it hadn't been washed for several days and gave off a strange smell. His hair was also greasy and tied into plaits, and his beard was even shapeless and even a little bit...
Hagrid's style.
This is so different from the image of a decent and handsome man a few months ago. More importantly, his eyes have completely lost their sparkle, and even the coldness in the past has disappeared, leaving only turbidity. Now
Zhang Si…
"Professor Karkaroff?" Qiu Zhang tentatively called his name.
Karkaroff looked confused and just staggered forward, like a walking zombie.
"There's something wrong with him." Fred frowned.
At this moment, a glimmer of light flashed in Karkaroff's eyes. He saw the people in front of him clearly, especially Harry. He rushed over quickly and squeezed Harry's shoulders tightly with his hands, like a mousetrap.
Caught Harry.
"Take me to Dumbledore, take me to..." His face twisted, and then he became confused again.
"What are you doing!" George and Fred pushed Karkaroff to the left and right to keep him and Harry at a safe distance. But what surprised them was that Karkaroff was still alive and kicking just now.
Love suddenly fell down in the snow and lay on the ground.
Fred:?
"I didn't use any force!" He was a little panicked. If he really messed up Durmstrang's principal, he might really be expelled.
Just when a few people were in a panic, a person walked up to Harry and the other four, and Harry also knew this person: she was Insa May from the referee team, an outstanding graduate of Durmstrang.
Seeing the appearance of this uninvited guest, Fred instinctively became nervous. He held the handle of the wand in his jeans pocket and looked at Yin Sa Mei warily.
"What can I do for you?" George asked.
Yin Sa Mei did not answer. She just walked up to Karkaroff and carefully examined his condition. Then a look of "Sure enough" flashed between her eyebrows.
"I need to take him to see Professor Dumbledore." She helped Karkaroff, who was lying in the snow, and turned to look at Harry: "Can you take me to see Professor Dumbledore?"
The four people immediately relaxed their vigilance. They were very sure that this person was not a bad person - how could a bad person take the initiative to ask to see Dumbledore?
So everyone helped her support Karkaroff and led him towards the principal's office.
On the way, Fred asked insinuatingly about Karkaroff, but Yinsa Mei kept silent. Yinsa Mei had long suspected that Karkaroff had been cast by the Imperius Curse, but she didn't know until just now
Sure.
This is such a shame! The head of a school was actually controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse. Does Durmstrang deserve to be called one of the three most prestigious schools along with Hogwarts and Beauxbatons? This is a big deal.
Yin Sa Mei really didn't want to publicize the scandal, so she kept silent about it.
Ideally, only Dumbledore would know, but now...
Yin Sa Mei glanced at the four students at the back, with a look of helplessness on her face, and could only sigh: "The principal of Durmstrang, why did you let this loser become you?! Without him, how could I be here today?"
Are you embarrassed here?
Yin Sa Mei was full of resentment towards Karkaroff. For a moment, she really wanted to throw Karkaroff in the snow - in this kind of weather, he was probably already there when the Yule Ball started.
Frozen to death.
It's a pity that you can't throw it away. The four students in front of you will definitely not agree. As for knocking them out and erasing their memories... After taking a look at their ages and the students playing not far away, Yin Sa Mei decisively gave up this idea.
Fred and George are close to adult wizards in age. She can't beat them in a one-on-four fight. Zhi Da . Zhi Xiao
In this way, Yinza May and Harry took the unconscious Karkaroff outside Dumbledore's office.
