Chapter 99 Christmas Invitation

Harry stood in the corridor of Hogwarts, looking out the window at the snow-covered castle, feeling a surge of anticipation.

This was his first Christmas holiday since arriving at Hogwarts.

If Harry still lived with his aunt, he would sign his name on the list of students to be kept at school without hesitation.

But ever since Mia and Sebastian showed up, Harry completely disdained the option of staying in school.

For him, Swann Manor is his home now.

However, what made Harry a little conflicted was that his good brother Ron had to stay in school for Christmas.

Because Ron's parents are going to Romania to visit his brother Charlie during the Christmas holidays.

Although Ron's other brothers also stayed in Hogwarts for the holiday, they all had their own plans.

Percy was going to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination this year, and having signed up for 12 subjects, he wasn't going to waste any time.

He plans to review all his lessons carefully during the Christmas holidays.

For Fred and George, Christmas is no time to be idle; it's the perfect time to show off their talents for antics.

They plan to develop a "snowman chewing gum" during the holiday and play a prank on everyone when school starts.

Once chewed, this gum will turn you into a living snowman in seconds.

Obviously, Ron was left behind by his brothers' busy plans and had to face the loneliness of this festival alone.

Looking at the lonely look on Ron's face, Harry understood this feeling very well; that was the feeling of loneliness.

He really wanted to invite Ron to spend Christmas with him, but he was worried that his invitation would cause inconvenience to Sebastian and Mia.

After hesitating for a long time, Harry finally mustered up the courage.

He wanted to give it a try. After all, there was nothing to lose by trying. What if he succeeded?

So, the day before the holiday, Harry came to Sebastian's office.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in," came Sebastian's voice.

Harry pushed the door open and saw Sebastian sitting behind a large desk, studying a thick magic book.

Seeing Harry come in, his eyes flashed with curiosity: "What's wrong, Harry?"

Harry twisted his fingers nervously and tremblingly expressed his request.

"Want to invite your friends to spend Christmas together?" Looking at Harry who carefully made the request to him, Sebastian smiled and ruffled Harry's hair.

"I fully welcome it! Even if there are a few more mouths to feed, it won't bankrupt Swann Manor."

"Will Aunt Mia agree?" Harry asked worriedly.

After all, for Swann Manor, Sebastian is just the male owner. If he wants to invite friends over, the consent of the hostess is also indispensable.

"Haha," Sebastian laughed heartily, "Mia will definitely agree. Let's ask her now if you're worried."

As he spoke, Sebastian took out a two-way mirror from his pocket, and Mia's figure soon appeared in the mirror.

Her gentle voice came from the mirror: "What's wrong, Sebastian, what's the matter?"

Sebastian pointed the two-way mirror at Harry and gently spoke of Harry's thoughts.

"Senior Molly's child?" Mia's voice came from the two-way mirror, "Of course."

"Harry, Swann Manor is big enough, you can call a few more friends without any problem."

Having gotten permission, Harry happily left the office. He couldn't wait to share the good news with Ron.

Looking at Harry leaving excitedly, Sebastian pondered for a moment.

Invite Ron, the little guy who likes to speak ill of Slytherin.

He frowned slightly as he recalled the times he had heard Ron openly complain about Slytherin.

Alas... Although I don't like it very much, as an adult and a professor at a school, I can't just argue with an eleven-year-old child.

Besides, he is Harry's good friend, how can I refuse him?

Thinking of this, Sebastian suddenly had an idea. Why not invite the twins and Percy together.

Anyway, whether you drive one sheep or let two sheep go, you will also let them go!

Moreover, the Weasley family cannot be reunited this Christmas, and it would be inappropriate to separate the brothers who remain in school to celebrate the holiday.

With this in mind, Sebastian released his Patronus and extended a holiday invitation to the twins and Percy.

Faced with Sebastian's invitation, Fred and George readily agreed.

They had heard that the professor had a top-notch alchemy laboratory at home, and they couldn't wait to see it.

Percy hesitated for a few seconds. For him, Hogwarts was very quiet during the holidays, which was just right for him to study.

However, he felt that going to Swann Manor was not a bad idea. If he had any questions about his studies, he might be able to get some special help from the professor.

............

"Oh my God, Professor Swan's house is so luxurious!" Ron fell headfirst onto the soft big bed, completely dazed.

He turned to look at Harry, his voice full of surprise and envy.

"Harry, you said you lived in Professor Swann's house before coming to Hogwarts, but you never mentioned that Professor Swann's house even had a small dueling arena."

"Besides that, there is a swimming pool, a fitness room, a greenhouse full of magical plants, and so on."

"The house-elves in the professor's house are all unique. I doubt that even if we take out all the gold Galleons in our house, we can't afford the clothes it is wearing."

Ron kept talking on and on, he had a lot to say to Harry.

"Besides, I thought the alchemy laboratory Fred and the others were talking about was just a small room, but I never expected it to be a seven-story building!"

"Even the owl room has three floors. The various alchemical devices inside are so dazzling that they blind my eyes! I can't believe that the owl room is even more luxurious than our dormitory."

"Okay Ron," Harry couldn't help laughing at the look on Ron's face.

"Would you like to play some arcade games together? I see Fred and George have already gone to the game room."

Ron's eyes widened. "Game room?" He almost jumped up, his face showing uncontrollable excitement.

"But based on my experience, we can only have fun today. Starting tomorrow, Professor Swan will definitely supervise our studies."

Supervised learning?

The smile on Ron's face froze.

His eyes were wide open with an expression of disbelief.

It's Christmas holiday!

If I had known that I still had to study, I would never have agreed to the invitation no matter what.

How fun it is to have fun at school!

Now that the matter is done, it's too late to say anything...

Thinking of this, Ron jumped out of bed and pushed Harry towards the door.
