Chapter 309 A deserted Christmas
Christmas is coming, but the atmosphere in the castle is not as cheerful as before.
Nearly Headless Nick and Bloody Baron are both attacked, turning an already tense atmosphere into genuine panic.
Even ghosts cannot be avoided... What kind of terrifying power can actually hurt the dead.
The students didn't want to stay in school for a moment, and those who had decided to stay in school also asked the professor to change their plans.
People are scrambling to book seats on the Hogwarts Express in anticipation of being home for Christmas.
In the few days before leaving school, Harry had been completely isolated. No matter where he went, there were people staring at him from a distance, neither approaching nor letting him out of sight.
Everyone was afraid that he would unleash the monster in the Chamber of Secrets again.
"Ignore them, Harry."
During a meal, Ron packed a few chicken legs into his carry-on bag and said, "Those people don't know anything. You have an invisibility cloak. If you really want to do something secretly, they just I can just stand there in a daze."
"Yeah, maybe I can scare them with the Invisibility Cloak." Harry twitched the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile on his face.
"That's a good idea," said Ron. "Especially that McMillan, if you suddenly appeared behind him, he probably wouldn't dare to follow you anymore."
"Don't come up with bad ideas, Ron, Harry has enough trouble now." Hermione put a plate of pudding in front of Harry.
"Wait a few more days, and the compound soup will be ready soon. We can get the words out of Malfoy's mouth at any time, and the truth will be revealed by then."
"I hope so." Harry took a bite of the pudding.
The sweet and sour orange flavor really made him feel better.
Beside, Ron put another piece of toast into the bag.
"I wanted to ask just now, what are you doing with these foods." Harry asked suspiciously, "If there are no snacks, I still have some candy here..."
"It's not me, it's Scabbers."
Ron sighed, "It has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and I want to make up for it."
"Don't you have a rat tonic?"
"I ran out of it yesterday." Ron took out an empty bottle.
"Isn't this a year's supply?" Hermione frowned, "Is it really okay if you use it up now?"
"Not only is it okay, it's not enough." Ron said, "It may be that Scabbers is getting older, and the effect of the tonic is obviously much smaller than last year."
He looked at Hermione and asked, "By the way, is there a method for making rat tonic in that "Power Potion"?"
"No!" Hermione's face was a little stiff.
She really wanted to see what kind of structure Ron's brain was... who the hell would think that the "Powerful Potion" locked in the restricted area taught people to make rat tonics.
But Ron didn't notice Hermione's eyes at all. He lowered his head and whispered, "Maybe we can go to the room on the eighth floor and have a look...there's everything there."
"Good luck..." Hermione replied perfunctorily.
……
Finally, the semester was over, and the castle suddenly became much quieter.
On Christmas Day, Kyle got up early in the morning, and then unwrapped a large pile of presents at his feet.
There are a lot more people giving books this year, and the number of books is almost equal to that of candy and snacks.
Fleur Delacour sent a crystal music box from France containing all the songs of the Unicorns.
This is a band from France, very famous in the wizarding world.
Dumbledore and Connor gave gloves.
The principal still continued last year's style, and made some embellishments with Fox's feathers, which just fit into a suit with socks.
But Kyle just glanced at it and put it together with the pair of socks he had never worn.
too eye-catching...
Kang Na's craftsmanship has improved a lot, and the gloves are very comfortable to wear.
After unpacking the presents, Kyle walked out of the dormitory.
The entire common room was empty, and there was no one there.
This year, Connor was also taken back by Snape, and Kyle was the only one left in Hufflepuff.
Cedric had wanted to stay with him, but Mr. Diggory sent five letters in one day, so he had to give up the idea.
But that's fine too.
He stayed here because he wanted to investigate the matter of the diary. It would be more convenient if there were fewer people.
But Gryffindor is much more lively.
All the Weasleys chose to stay, including Ginny and Percy.
The Weasleys had gone to see Bill, and they didn't want to go that far.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Weasley was promoted on the grounds that he performed well in the surprise inspection.
So one week before Christmas, he officially became the director of the Office of the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Substances... Although the job he does has not changed at all, his monthly salary has increased by ten Galleons.
……
Kyle simply ate some sandwiches in the common room, then got up and went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.
But the strange thing is that today the door seems to be welded dead, no matter how hard it is, it can't be opened.
It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Hermione came out from inside.
After seeing Kyle at the door, she suddenly became nervous.
"Kyle, you, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm going to use this Room of Response." Kyle said, "Aren't you the same?"
"So it's called the Room of Requirement?" Hermione was relieved when she heard that it wasn't related to Polyjuice Potion. "It's a very appropriate name."
"You don't know?" Kyle laughed, "According to different needs, it will change into corresponding rooms, so it is called this name."
"We found it by accident," Hermione explained. "We were looking for a place to make... potions, and then there was a door full of cauldrons and magic potions. Medicine books.
But all the books about the castle, or maps, have no records here... It took us a long time to find out the law of its appearance. "
"This is a hidden room in Hogwarts. It is protected by special magic and cannot be mapped." Kyle said, "You will definitely not find it on the map."
"No wonder..." Hermione nodded, but she seemed to think of something and became nervous again. "But why are you waiting outside?"
"Could it be that you also want to practice potions, because I'm there, so you can't get in?"
She couldn't help but not be nervous. The compound decoction is still not brewed successfully. If what Kyle needs happens to be the potion room, wouldn't he be able to see it at a glance after entering?
"No, it has nothing to do with that, and I'm not going to brew potions here." Kyle shook his head, "But because it only has one door, it can only correspond to one room. It's useless."
