A gust of howling cold wind rolled up the last leaf on the tree branch, and drifted across the window with the wind.
The snow outside the castle is covered with snow, and a thick layer of ice is frozen on the black lake. The giant squid inside seems to want to come out for a breath of air. Its tentacles are tapping the ice surface, and a dull "bang" sound can be heard far away. .
The auditorium was in full swing, and everyone was chatting happily. From time to time, they glanced at the door of the auditorium, waiting for a tall and strong man, always wearing a moleskin coat, to open the door.
There are no classes all morning today because the long-awaited Christmas vacation is about to begin.
"Are you really not going to stay in school this year?"
At the Gryffindor table, Ron had asked Harry this question several times, with a look of reluctance and unhappiness on his face.
"Sorry, Ron." Harry said apologetically, but with anticipation in his eyes, "You know, this is my first time spending Christmas with my godfather..."
"Okay, then I can only stay in the empty dormitory alone, sitting on the sofa with nothing to do all day." Ron didn't know what switch was turned on, and this period of time became abnormal. , there is always a strange air of yin and yang in his words.
"You won't be bored, Ron." Hermione couldn't stand it anymore, "You have asked this question several times. If you really have nothing to do, you can go to the professors to give you more homework."
Ron rolled his "pretty" eyes, and just as he was about to retort, the door of the auditorium was opened from the outside, and a cold wind rushed in. The man everyone had been waiting for for a long time - he was here.
"Kids, hurry up, the carriage is already waiting for you in the small square." Hagrid shouted at the top of his lungs with a cold air.
Except for those who stayed in school, everyone eagerly picked up the bag on the side and rushed to the door with cheers.
"Hey, Harry, Soul, and Hermione, how are you?" Hagrid smiled and greeted the three people coming towards him, and then winked at Harry.
"Harry, I heard you won't be staying at the castle this Christmas. I wish you a happy Christmas break."
"Thank you, Hagrid, I'll send you a Christmas present." Harry said with a big smile.
Ron stood aside with a resentful look on his face, his little eyes couldn't stop looking at the three of them.
"Don't forget my gift." Ron finally couldn't help but said when Harry climbed into the carriage.
"Also, be sure to ask Hedwig to write to me."
"I won't forget it. See you after Christmas, Ron."
Speaking of Hedwig, Soul's eyes moved and he recalled the scene he saw in the owl loft when he was sending a letter to his family.
When Harry sat firmly and the wheels of the carriage began to turn, he smiled and said,
"Hey, Harry, let me tell you something interesting. I'm afraid you don't know it yet, right?"
"What?" Harry put the satchel in his hand aside, rubbed his hands and put his hands into the wizard's robe, looking at Soul curiously.
"You are going to be a grandfather." Su Er said surprisingly.
Harry became even more confused, "Grandpa...Grandpa?"
Hearing Soul talking about this, Hermione also laughed, "Hedwig is going to be a mother, so you have moved up a generation."
"Hedwig is going to be a mother?" Harry's eyes widened in surprise, "How come I didn't know at all."
"It seems like you haven't seen Hedwig in the Owlery for a while, right?" Soul continued,
"It's paired with my owl."
"Really?" Harry perked up, "When did it happen?"
"It's been a while. Do you still remember the time you came to our house during the summer vacation? I guess it was around that time that Hedwig and Xiao Huihui got together." Suer replied with a smile.
"Hedwig laid three eggs." Hermione raised three fingers. "I went to see them. Hagrid made them a new nest in the owl loft."
"I've never heard of such a thing." Harry scratched his head, "Hagrid didn't tell me either."
"So, I'm afraid this Christmas, I'll have to leave gifts to other owls, and Hedwig will be busy hatching eggs," Sule said.
"It's okay. I haven't bought any Christmas gifts this year. I'll ask the post office over in Diagon Alley to deliver them when the time comes." Harry didn't react at all to this matter and laughed. "When I return to the castle for Christmas, Just go see Hedwig.”
"I never thought I would be a 'grandfather' after Christmas, haha."
(I thought this was very interesting, so I opened a small hole. I’ll fill it in here. The main reason is that I don’t know how to write the ‘love’ between small animals. I’ll give it an ending.)
There is no need to go into details about getting on the train. The three of them found a compartment and closed the door. The fat witch in an apron pushed a cart of snacks and sold them like "dang bang, dang bang".
Harry, who was promoted to the 'grandfather' generation, bought a lot of snacks, as well as the warm pumpkin juice, which is special in winter.
"Come, celebrate us becoming a 'family', cheers." Harry raised the pumpkin juice in his hand and touched it with Soul and Hermione who were sitting opposite.
"cheers"
Laughter and laughter floated out through the cracks in the train windows, flying over the train as the column of mist spewed by the locomotive flew far away.
……
"Besides...besides..." The train drove through the deserted fertile fields and passed through villages. Gradually, high-rise buildings began to replace the old scenery.
The red retro train began to slow down. The little wizards packed up their things and waited quietly for the moment they got off the train. They looked forward to being reunited with their families and looking forward to the fragrant turkey on the Christmas table.
Harry was nervous and didn't know where to put his hands. This was the first time he had experienced this situation since he entered school three years ago. He was about to spend his first Christmas with his godfather in more than ten years.
In the past, at the Dursley family, the joy of Christmas only belonged to his aunt, uncle, and their son Dudley. He only had a piece of turkey that was the toughest and strongest meat, or food that Dudley didn't like to eat.
The gifts were also Dudley's worn out clothes or socks, or a ball that had fallen off.
But he can guarantee that this year will be different. This Christmas will definitely be the most unforgettable day in his life.
Despite having had a brief meeting with Black at the Screaming Shack, Harry was still very nervous.
"Are my clothes okay?" Harry stood up and walked around twice in front of Hermione and Soul. This was the third time he asked this question.
"Very good, Harry, he is a spirited young man." Hermione said helplessly, "It would be better if you could press down the hair on your head."
"Don't worry, Harry, no matter what you are like, Black will only think you are good-looking and will not dislike you." Sule said.
Harry spat into the palm of his hand and pressed the unruly hair on his head against the glass that vaguely reflected his appearance.
The train finally pulled into the platform, and the platform was just as Harry remembered.
