Hogwarts is very quiet today.

Empty.

Early in the morning, Hermione ran to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

"What's wrong?" Harry was still wearing pajamas: "Today is the first day of vacation, can't you take a little more rest?"

Hermione lowered her head, humming for a long time, and then said: "There is no one in Gryffindor anymore. I live alone in such a big place, and turning the pages of a book at night can echo on the whole floor. It's a bit scary."

"

"I want to move here too..." Hermione said sheepishly, and then emphasized: "It's just for the holidays. When school starts and other people come back, I will move back..."

"Of course." Harry said, "But there are not enough rooms. I will ask the Room of Requirement to add another room for you."

"No need." Hermione said with a smile, "Qiu Zhang and I can sleep together."

Then she ran into Zhang Qiu's bedroom.

Zhang Qiu's exclamation and Hermione's proud laughter were heard: "Haha, is it ice or not? Get up quickly."

Hermione, who seemed to have just come in from outside, put her cold hands on Zhang Qiu's warm skin.

Listening to the sound of the two girls playing around inside, Harry felt a little envious.

…

Zhang Qiu made breakfast.

Helena and Hermione watched Zhang Qiu's hands grow flowers and make a sumptuous breakfast as if by magic, with expressions of amazement on their faces.

Hermione said: "This is so powerful, even more powerful than magic."

Zhang Qiu smiled and said: "Then Muggles will definitely be willing to change their identities with wizards."

After dinner, Helena left.

Because she went to learn Chinese cooking skills, when discussing cooking, Zhang Qiu introduced Chinese cuisine that was a hundred times more complex than Western cuisine and had countless varieties, which completely attracted her.

What about steaming, cooking, frying...

Just listening to some of the dishes Zhang Qiu mentioned, Hermione was already drooling.

So Harry used welcome imaging to send Helena to a chef school in China.

Helena looked at the scene of thousands of people setting fire to weighing pots at the same time, and said in shock: "It's amazing."

She suddenly found her goal: she wanted to become the most powerful chef in the chef world - God of Cooking!

Learn all the cooking methods in the world.

This is the grand ambition of a ghost.

She is a ghost, so naturally she cannot be seen by Muggles.

She walked around the students who were cooking, studying and memorizing silently. At night, after everyone started to rest, she ran to the kitchen to practice.

So later... news spread about this school being haunted.

Because someone saw that the knife on the wooden board would automatically chop with a cold light in the darkness.

Someone saw through the round glass on the door that in the kitchen, there was a "boom", the gas suddenly ignited spontaneously, and an iron pot floated in the air, as if an "evil ghost" was controlling it.

Someone saw that the oven made a "ding" sound to end its work, and then the cake baked inside was pulled out by the "ghost" along with the mold.

More and more people claim to have discovered strange things in the middle of the night.

Later, this chef school slowly declined.

After Helena, the instigator, finished learning all the skills, she started to harm another chef school.

…

Before going out to play, Hermione moved her things to Harry's place.

Crookshanks was no stranger to Hermione's ginger cat.

After being picked up by Hermione, it jumped out of her arms, jumped onto a chair in front of the fireplace, and then jumped on top of the fireplace, lying down, lazily, like a big ball of yellow cloth.

Hermione said helplessly: "It loves to sleep too much."

Astoria had been apparated by Harry last night, sending her back to the Greengrass family's large manor.

Although she shouted that she wanted to be with Harry and that she would stay at school during the winter vacation, Harry didn't want to see her father holding up his wand and roaring at him: "What kind of bewitching did you do to my daughter?"

magic!"

Alas, to be honest. Not only was Astoria reluctant to say goodbye to Harry, but even Harry felt as if he had lost something precious.

At night, there was no longer that soft, fragrant and kneadable "marshmallow", especially since the marshmallow always thought he was smart and secretly kissed Harry every day.

When they parted, Astoria hugged Harry and said that he should come and take her back to school as soon as possible. It seemed that if possible, she wouldn't want to stay at home for a minute.

At that time, her father and mother were standing behind her.

They had complicated emotions. A year and a half ago, they reluctantly sent their beloved little daughter to Hogwarts. In the first six months, they were always worried that their daughter would not be used to the life there, or would be bullied by other wizards.

Hiding in bed and crying in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, meeting their daughter half a year later was completely different from what they thought.

Now they are not put in the first place. Alas, my daughter has grown up and was abducted.

…

Harry, Zhang Qiu and Hermione left Harry's cabin.

They walked down the spiral staircase step by step. Because everyone was gone, the school was extremely quiet.

Then walk out of the castle and step out of the oak door.

Snowflakes are flying outside.

They stepped on the lawn and walked slowly, leaving six lines of footprints on the fine powdery crystal snow.

The three people's shoes and clothes were all cast with magic spells. Otherwise, the underneath of their clothes would soon get wet and then freeze into ice, which would not be comfortable.

Before reaching the Forbidden Forest, I saw that the Forbidden Forest seemed to be enchanted, and every tree dozens of meters high was shining with silver.

The Forbidden Forest at this time does not give people the feeling of fear and darkness, but more like the woods in fairy tales where kind elves hide, because the white snow covers the darkness.

Hagrid's little house, located next to the Forbidden Forest, looks like a piece of cake in a children's meal, with the roof sprinkled with icing.

A dog suddenly barked happily.

Hagrid's hunting dog Fang smelled Harry's scent, opened the door and rushed into the snow, but he couldn't stop the car, and a dog came to chew the snow.

"It's Harry." Hagrid creaked open the door and was very happy to see Harry.

"Why did you stay in school?" Hagrid slapped his head: "Oh, I remember it. I almost forgot about Hermione, right?"

Hagrid said quite directly: "Trelawney, I have always disliked her. She often took out a deck of tarot cards and said that she could see my fate from it - sooner or later I would be captured in Azkaban again."

.”

Hagrid was really angry. His small eyes - compared to his thick and long eyebrows that almost covered his eyes, were really small and contained anger.

"She has no idea how much harm her words will cause to others. She has no idea how terrifying Dementors are. Anyone is weak in front of Dementors, including Professor Dumbledore. I mean unless Dumbledore

He allowed the dementors to absorb the hope in his heart without any resistance."

"Dementors suck happy memories away from wizards. In Azkaban, their behavior will never stop until those criminals are sucked like him...soulless and full of evil. Only a lifetime left.

The worst experience, the worst experience that makes people despair and drives people crazy.”

Seeing that Hagrid fell into an abnormal mood because of the memory of the Dementors, Zhang Qiu pointed at him with a wand behind him: "*&...%￥#..."

Hagrid suddenly stopped talking about these unfortunate things. He straightened his back, as if his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer painful, and all the sad things were gone. He said easily: "Don't mention that terrible old man.

Now that you are a woman, let me tell you something worth celebrating."

He took out a small dusty bag as if he were offering a treasure.

Hearing the crisp sound inside, Harry knew it was a money bag.

Hagrid placed the purse on the table and opened it. There was a small pile of gold galleons, about a hundred of them.

"The Ministry of Magic suddenly decided that they should make some amends for their wrong decision of destroying my wand."

"Ah...it has been so many years, and they can still remember it. It seems that the pressure from public opinion has been great recently." Harry raised his eyebrows: "However, the Ministry of Magic is also too poor."

Hagrid said: "These galleons, and some of the money I have slowly accumulated over the years, you know, some of the materials I got from hunting in the Forbidden Forest, I took them to Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley to do some small business.

You can earn a few silver coins every time, even though it’s a small amount, there’s always some benefit, right?”

Hagrid looked at the small house and said excitedly: "I'm going to re-expand my house during the summer vacation. After so many years, there are so many things that I can't fit them in. If there are any leftover materials, I can still give them outside."

Teeth cover a small kennel."

"Uh...Hagrid, if you want, I can give you a large sum..." Harry said.

"No, that's not good, Harry." Hagrid refused without thinking.

"These are enough."

"Okay." Harry spread his hands and said helplessly.
Chapter completed!
