HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Except for little Barty, few people can deal significant damage with a single strike. However, the fact that no one has been caught so far is consistent with the Ministry's belief that work is easy."

Reina flipped through the Daily Prophet. Until Arthur was discharged from the hospital, there was no detailed report about the attack on a Ministry of Magic employee. Reporters, including Rita Skeeter, only reported on the then Minister Fudge.

Of course, Skeeter continued to criticize everyone as usual, and today's report also spent a lot of space condemning Senior Deputy Minister Umbridge.

This has resulted in a high number of views for her column.

At least, this achievement finally allowed her to withdraw from the Triwizard Tournament and start focusing on politicians.

"Yes, but being able to be discharged before the second game is already great. However, I'm afraid that some of his future tasks will be difficult to carry out. He needs more rest."

Snape was correcting his students' papers as usual, but he noticed that Reina reached out to take the custard biscuits on the table. He quickly used his wand to move the biscuits and threw them into the fireplace. The green flames turned golden red in an instant.

Facing Reina's slightly surprised look, he explained helplessly:

"This was just seized from the Gemini today. If you don't want anything strange to happen, it's best not to eat it."

Reina's hand, which had been suspended in the air, turned around and came back to hold the newspaper.

"I think I know what it is; when they met me they told me about a new product they were researching that looked like it might turn out to be a canary.

Maybe you should stay with one. I'd really like to try it. Animagus is still a little difficult for me. Maybe becoming a canary will give me a different feeling."

"I'm sorry, but please forgive me for not trusting what they've developed. After all, it was born as a prank."

"Okay, okay, that does make some sense."

The December wind brought snow to large areas of the UK. The closer it got to Christmas, the more biting the draft in Hogwarts became. You could often see students hunching their necks and holding their books as they quickly fled from the corridors to hide in the warm lounge.

The Slytherin common room was always the coldest; even with the fireplace burning, the heat would seep through the glass and melt into the Black Lake. But Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were no far behind, with the biting wind from the tower slamming against the windows, sometimes even making such a noise in the middle of the night that it was impossible to sleep. In comparison, the Hufflepuff students were simply nestled in a warm paradise.

Order hot meat pies with seafood soup from the kitchen next door, and have some pudding, muffins and milk tea. It’s so comfortable that you don’t even want to go out. Who would go to the auditorium to eat?

"Oh, Qiu, you have no idea how cold it is outside. Hey! Why do I feel like you're worried?"

In the Ravenclaw common room, a girl with brown curly hair came in from the door holding a book. Qiu Zhang looked at her and smiled helplessly.

"They are laughing at me, Mary, making fun of me." Qiu Zhang pointed at the girls next to him who were covering their mouths.

"That's not true, Marietta. We're telling the truth. Our precious Qiu Zhang is a truly unique beauty. There's no lie about that."

"Mary, you're not here today, Qiu has been invited by a boy to be your dance partner again, hahahaha——"

"What's wrong? Qiu is so cute, a true oriental beauty. That's a very normal thing. What's so funny? Shut up quickly. I'm sorry, Qiu."

Marietta Aikmo sat next to Qiu Zhang, but her words did not give the impression that Qiu Zhang was helping her.

"What, Mary..." She pushed Marietta with some anger.

The girls started joking around again without any hesitation.

"That's different. I bet Qiu is the only one in the entire Hogwarts who has been invited by two champions at the same time."

"Same goes for the other two schools too!"

"Warrior?" Marietta frowned. Could it be...

"Yes, it's the savior Harry Potter. You wouldn't have thought! He's definitely interested in Qiu."

"Yeah, the two of them have never had any intersection before."

"How can this be? Doesn't he know about Cho and Cedric… This is truly offensive!"

Marietta's favorable impression of this so-called warrior suddenly dropped. She was a staunch supporter of Cedric. Now, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard Weasley, who was next to Potter, commenting on girls in public a few days ago, which made her even more unhappy.

"Oh, he definitely doesn't know. After all, he's a grade younger than us."

"Yes, yes, Mary, look why you are still angry."

"He probably doesn't know." Qiu Zhang also nodded. She didn't feel offended.

"He'd better be." Mary snorted, "You'd better stay away from him. Bad things always happen around him. Yes, you have to tell Cedric this too."

"It's not that serious. You're overthinking it."

Now the girls' teasing of Qiu Zhang was successfully diverted.

The Hogwarts holiday finally officially began after the teacher assigned a lot of homework. However, until Christmas Day, except for some Ravenclaws, few people would take the initiative to complete their homework.

"Daphne, how is it?" Pansy lifted her skirt and turned around. Her light pink pleated dress looked like a blooming flower.

"Very beautiful! Believe me, I did your hairstyle." Daphne also changed into a light green dress and tied her hair into a princess style.

"Okay, let's go out and don't keep everyone waiting."

When the two walked side by side to the lounge, everyone had almost gathered, and Millicent was waiting there early.

It was just that her outfit looked particularly gorgeous because during the day, Millicent had kicked out her last dance partner and had spent nearly five hours dressing up in revenge.

I don’t know if her standards have become higher or her aesthetic type has changed, but her requirements for boys have become more and more demanding. In short, now she plans to go directly to the dance floor to find a handsome guy to spend this long night with.

After all, luxury goods bought specifically for this purpose cannot be wasted.

"Oh, all the beautiful girls are here. Looks like we can make our grand entrance."

Blaise stood up from the sofa, straightened his suit jacket, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and threw it into the fireplace.

"Let's go, Draco." Pansy walked up to Draco, her face slightly flushed.

"Wait, isn't Draco's dance partner Pansy? Miss, who are you? I don't remember Slytherin having such a lovely lady."

Blaise put his hands in his pockets and bent down slightly to look at Pansy, then nodded with great satisfaction.

Several people laughed out loud when they saw Pansy, who rarely refuted Blaise but looked a little shy.

"Then this must be Daphne. It's true that once girls dress up, boys have nothing to do."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you don't leave now, you're going to be late."

Draco was wearing a black velvet high-collared dress robe, which could steal all the attention in the crowd in an instant. He walked through the crowd, walked to the door and opened it first, leading a group of Slytherins through the long corridor, up the stairs, and into the magnificent and dazzling hall.
