Chapter 36 The First Spring Festival at Hogwarts
After the game, the students of Hogwarts were faced with a long period of study without any surprises.
Every day there were only boring classes, no Quidditch games, no festivals, at least for most students.
"Ah~"
Adam sighed for the third time today.
"Adam, what's wrong with you?"
Cologne came over with a worried look on his face, and other roommates also paid attention to the movement here.
"It's okay..."
Adam blurted out, and the next moment he received four pairs of unbelieving and disapproving eyes.
"What do you mean it's okay? You have never acted so depressed!"
Cologne put his hands on Adam's shoulders from behind and shook him:
"You are the one who can decisively take action against cockroaches in the bathroom! Cheer up! Tell us whatever happens!"
"Although I know you care about me, the prefix in front is actually unnecessary..."
Recalling the experience of that day, Adam's face was full of black lines.
Who would have thought that even Eugene, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was afraid of cockroaches, and such a small one... But then again, this thing is quite rare in the UK, and I didn't expect that there are cockroaches in Hogwarts.
Recovering from the memory of the chaotic roommates screaming, Adam sighed again:
"Well, it's almost the New Year, but I can't go back."
It seems that there is no such thing as asking for leave in Hogwarts, and it is not convenient to go back and forth.
"New Year?"
A question mark popped up above Cologne's head.
"Hasn't January 1st passed long ago? It's almost February now."
"I'm talking about the Chinese festival - the Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year."
Adam sighed again with melancholy:
"The family cooks together, eats together, puts up Spring Festival couplets, hangs lanterns..."
"Well... it sounds no different from Christmas."
Adam immediately turned his head and retorted:
"It's very different!"
"Uh, okay, okay, very different."
Cologne turned Adam's head back,
"Is this festival special to you?"
"Probably the most important festival of the year."
"Is that so..."
Cologne turned his head and looked at his roommates behind him:
"How about... we celebrate the Spring Festival by ourselves in Hogwarts?"
"Hmm?"
Adam blinked, it seemed... a bit of a solution?
Since it was a Chinese festival, Adam didn't plan to drag anyone else along, just celebrate it in the dormitory. According to Cologne and the others, they could be considered a family.
Yellow and black have always been the main colors of the Hufflepuff dormitory, but on this day they were replaced by red. Red round lanterns were hung on the ceiling like a string of persimmons, and the folded red paper was cut into the word "Fu". Once it was pulled apart, it became a long string, spanning from one end of the dormitory to the other.
Adam also grabbed Xiaoke and Spi and put on small lion dance-shaped clothes for them.
"Okay, go play~"
Helped the two little ones get their wings out of the opening of their clothes, and patted their butts to let them get off his legs.
"Adam, do you have to stick this upside down too?"
Adam glanced at the word "Shou" in Uther's hand and said quickly:
"No, no! Only "Fu" should be stuck upside down!"
When it came to the part of sticking Spring Festival couplets, Adam was troubled by the red paper in front of him. Should he stick some Spring Festival couplets that are in line with the characteristics of Hogwarts in Hogwarts?
But what to write...
Upper couplet: Albus Dumbledore
Lower couplet: Gellert Grindelwald
Horizontal banner: A hundred years of happiness?
Uh... I don't know if the old principal can understand Chinese, so I'd better not do such a thing.
After thinking for a while, Adam picked up the pen and wrote:
The dragon came out of the shell, the bird snake broke the silver and bid farewell to the old year
The phoenix was reborn and sniffed the gold to welcome the new year
Good fortune and luck
I can't think of a better one for a while, so I'll stick it on first.
"Eugene, help me put this on the door, I marked it."
"Okay."
There are classes on New Year's Eve, most of the preparations are done in advance, and many links in Hogwarts can only be simplified, so it's soon time for the much-anticipated New Year's Eve dinner.
"Wow~"
Cologne, who has already mastered the use of chopsticks, picked up a pair of chopsticks and swallowed his saliva,
"Isn't this table of dishes a bit too much - can we finish it?"
Adam made a full table of dishes, including flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. There are four kinds of staple foods alone. Even if he is greedy, he feels that it is a bit impossible to finish this table.
"This table will be eaten until tomorrow, so make more if you want."
Adam actually found that he seemed to have made a little too much, but it was not a big problem.
"Oh, by the way, Eugene, one of these two fish should be saved for tomorrow, don't eat it all in one day."
"Okay."
Eugene looked at the two squirrel mandarin fish with shining eyes.
He is still not very good at picking fish bones, and this kind of fish that can only be eaten from the head and tail is simply tailor-made for him.
It turns out that Cologne still has some misunderstandings about the fighting power of boys of their age. The five people had a New Year's Eve dinner from dinner to New Year's Eve, and there was not much left except for the squirrel mandarin fish that was specially left.
"What? You actually celebrated the festival secretly without calling us?!"
The next day, everyone in Hufflepuff gradually discovered the red paper posted on the door of Adam's dormitory. After asking curiously, they were immediately shocked.
"That's the Chinese New Year festival, and you don't celebrate it."
"It's okay, we can eat... oh no, we can celebrate!"
Ernie covered his chest with a look of confusion.
After Adam's popular science, how many people in Hogwarts don't know that Chinese festivals are equal to food?
"Are there any left?"
Cedric was very concise and got straight to the point.
"No, the last squirrel mandarin fish was eaten for breakfast today."
Cologne spread his hands.
"Okay..."
"Are you so interested in Chinese festivals?"
Adam touched his chin.
"Yes, yes!"
A group of people nodded.
"There are indeed a few Chinese festivals after that..."
There are more festivals in the first half of the year, but...
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Adam opened his mouth and spit out extremely cold words:
"But, do you still remember the end-of-year exams that are not far away from us?"
Yes, as students, they obviously have a threshold that they cannot escape, that is, exams.
Although Hogwarts only has one exam per school year, it is also because of this that many young wizards will find out at this time that they don’t seem to have learned much in a year.
There are also many young wizards who find that they have forgotten everything they have learned this year, and when they review, they find that the knowledge they were once familiar with is now so unfamiliar.
This is the time for the caring professors to take action. They use homework to force knowledge points into the minds of young wizards.
"Ahhhhh, it's too late--"
The feather pen in Cologne's hand is so fast that it almost flies up, and his face is about to collapse.
"Eugene! Bernard! Uther! Help!"
Why is there no Adam, because Adam's homework is different from theirs.
"I said that this homework is a bit too much, so you don't push it until the last day."
Uther reluctantly put the homework of the three people in front of him.
"You didn't say that this is a bit too much, twice as much as last weekend, ah wuwuwu QAQ"
"You should write it quickly if you have this time."
Adam reminded him and took out the letter he received at dinner from his bag.
It was from his grandmother...and it was the first letter she had written to him since he had written to her asking about Nicolas Flamel.
