HP Star Shining

Ever since she knew the name Nicolas Flamel, Hermione made a long list of books. The four of them would go to the library whenever they had time and had read many books.

Su Xingchen felt dizzy and dazzled, and several times he almost couldn't help but tell her about the Philosopher's Stone.

In the end, I held it in. Forget it, just treat it as a learning experience.

The day before the holiday, Su Xingchen, Harry and Ron sent Hermione, who kept urging them to continue looking for news about Nicolas Flamel, on the train home.

After the holiday, the two boys had a lot of fun and remembered Nicolas Flamel.

Most of the time the three of them stayed in the lounge. Although the common room and the auditorium were warm, the corridor was cold and the wind was blowing.

Su Xingchen liked the natural temperature emitted by the stove and was also afraid of the cold. Many times, the three of them would bring their food back to the lounge from the auditorium. They all enjoyed the joy of chatting while eating by the fire.

Ron began to teach Harry how to play wizard chess, and Su Xingchen sat on the side and watched.

Wizard chess is similar to international chess, the only difference is that they are alive, giving players the feeling of marching and fighting.

And they might not listen to you or interfere with your instructions. Ron's chess pieces were very old, his grandfather's, but they obeyed Ron's instructions very well. Harry was different. He used Seamus's chess pieces, and Su Xingchen was very amused to see him dizzy with the chess pieces' chatter.

Early on Christmas morning, Harry received a flute made by Hagrid, fifty pence from his aunt, a sweater and candies knitted by Mrs. Weasley, a large box of chocolate frogs from Hermione, and a mysterious package containing an invisibility cloak, which made him very excited.

After the excitement wore off, Harry lay down on the place where the package was placed and searched left and right, even under the bed, but still did not find Su Xingchen's gift.

"Ron, what did the stars give you?"

"Look at this brand new wizard chess set, it's so beautiful!" Ron couldn't let go of the new wizard chess set.

Did she forget? That was impossible, she had given it to Ron, or was the owl accidentally lost?

Throughout the whole day, Harry looked at Su Xingchen several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He wanted to ask, but didn't know how to start. He couldn't just say, "Did you give me a Christmas present?"

The Christmas dinner at Hogwarts was incredibly sumptuous, with plump roast chickens, mountains of roast meat and potatoes, and plates of sausages, not to mention all kinds of fruits and desserts.

The floor beside the long table was covered with colorful firecrackers, which, when opened, revealed various small gifts. This made Harry forget about the gifts for a while.

Halfway through the dinner, Hedwig suddenly flew in and threw down a package.

Harry opened it puzzled, and inside was a model of the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch. In the center of the pitch, a countless-times-smaller version of himself was running around holding the Golden Snitch in his hand, cheering and waving to the audience.

This was his first Quidditch game!

"It's a little late, but luckily I made it."

This was specially made by Su Xingchen by asking Professor McGonagall to help her find someone to make it. This silly kid looked at her countless times today but didn't dare to ask. Maybe he was afraid that she really forgot it. So cute.

"That's so cool." Ron also came over and reached out to touch it.

Harry looked at Su Xingchen. She was supporting her cheek with one hand. She looked lazy, not sure if it was because she was full or because the auditorium was too warm.

The firelight reflected on her exquisite and perfect face, and her smiling eyes were full of warmth, which finally made him feel relieved after being worried for the whole day.

"You like it, Harry?"

Harry wanted to tell Su Xingchen that he liked her, liked her so much, as much as the invisibility cloak. He still had a lot to say, but in the end, all he could say were the two words "thank you".

Harry had the happiest Christmas he had ever had.

Tonight, Ron stuffed his stomach with cake and roast chicken, and fell asleep almost immediately on the bed when he returned to the dormitory.

Looking at Ron mumbling in his sleep, Harry quietly got out of bed without waking him. For the first time, he wanted to use his father's invisibility cloak alone.

After putting on the Invisibility Cloak and going down the stairs, Harry unexpectedly caught a glimpse of someone curled up in an armchair in front of the fireplace in the common room.

He carefully leaned over and saw Su Xingchen.

It was strange. He clearly saw Su Xingchen returning to the dormitory after saying goodbye.

The firelight flickered on her face, making her look very lost.

Unlike last time, this time she was filled with sadness that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.

Su Xingchen was in a bad mood.

Everyone was happily celebrating Christmas during the day, and she didn't want to spoil the fun, so she was also very "happy".

Back in the dormitory, when it was late at night and she was alone, she could no longer pretend, so she went back to the fireplace in the lounge.

The Su family was a traditional family of cultivators, and they never celebrated Christmas. But every year on this day, she would still receive gifts carefully prepared by everyone, because it also happened to be her birthday.

Everyone had already been fasting, yet they still accompanied her to eat every day even though she hadn't yet established her foundation. Mother Su never did any housework, but today she would personally bake her a birthday cake and cook a bowl of longevity noodles, even though the taste was not very friendly.

The daily life they have shared for eleven years has been deeply engraved in their bones. They are the family members Su Xingchen cares about the most. She can usually pretend not to care, but today... she can't deceive herself.

She has always had a secret expectation in her heart.

But no, nothing, she didn't receive any birthday presents and no one contacted her.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she seemed to have really been...abandoned.

Su Xingchen lowered his head, tears glistening in his eyes, falling uncontrollably.

Harry couldn't help but pull off the invisibility cloak. Su Xingchen didn't expect that someone would appear out of nowhere. She looked up in surprise, and Harry saw the tears in her eyes.

"Harry? Why are you here? I didn't see anyone coming down."

"I use this." Harry raised the invisibility cloak in his hand. "Are you okay, Star?"

Su Xingchen didn't say anything.

In the past, she would have smiled and said, "I'm fine, nothing happened."

But today she didn't want to lie to others or herself. Something was wrong with her, very bad, extremely bad.

Harry didn't get an answer. He thought carefully about how Su Xingchen made him laugh when he was in a bad mood before.

"Do you want to have a snowball fight?"

"Snowball fight?"

"We can sneak out." Harry waved the Invisibility Cloak in his hand. "Use this."

Seeing Harry's expectant look, Su Xingchen nodded. She also didn't want to be alone.

The two put on invisibility cloaks, tiptoed out of the lounge, and walked through the corridor to the atrium which was already empty.

Snowflakes were still drifting in the sky, the fountain had long been frozen, and everything was quiet except for the sound of wind and snow.

Hogwarts was covered with snow, a scene of ice and snow.

There was light coming through the scattered windows, which was different from electric lights. It was candlelight or fire, flickering and not very bright, but it could make people feel a little warmth in this snowy world.

No girl can resist the temptation of snow.

Su Xingchen released her invisibility cloak and couldn't help reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes. They landed on her woolen gloves, a Christmas gift from Mrs. Weasley.

Maybe because she was a girl, Mrs. Weasley didn't give her a sweater, but knitted her a scarf and gloves, which she was wearing now.

The snowflakes did not melt when they fell on the gloves. Su Xingchen felt unsatisfied and took off his gloves. The soft snowflakes fell on his hands, cold and soft.

Harry put away the Invisibility Cloak and stood quietly aside.

The girl in the snow was wrapped up tightly, revealing only her fair little face and a soft, glove-free hand. A small smile appeared as the larger snowflakes didn't melt immediately after landing on her palms. Her furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a playful snowflake landed on her long, curled eyelashes, causing the girl to blink repeatedly, like a butterfly flapping its wings.

It looks so simple and beautiful, like a painting.

For a moment, Harry couldn't tell whether the girl entered the painting or the girl became the painting.

Su Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling suddenly enlightened in the vast expanse of white snow. Life is so short and yet so long, so just let it be.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

No matter what the future holds, at least her happiness for the past eleven years was real.

"Stars," Harry called.

"Huh?" Su Xingchen tilted her head, and a snowball hit her head, blooming a snow-white flower on her long black hair.

Harry, who was not far away, laughed out loud because he hit the target.

Su Xingchen was stunned, then laughed angrily, "You're done, you know that? Harry, you're finished!"

After saying that, he took off his other glove and threw it on the ground, then picked up a handful of snow and threw it at Harry.

She wanted to bury this naughty kid.

The two had a lot of fun playing in the snow.

How did Su Xingchen comfort him before? Harry thought, it seemed like this, playing and fighting to divert his attention.

We played for a long time. Fortunately, the weather was too cold and there was really no one outside, otherwise it would definitely attract other people's attention.

Su Xingchen was warm all over, but her hands were frozen. She kept breathing on her fingers. Harry helped her pick up her gloves.

"Harry, can you say happy birthday to me?" Su Xingchen suddenly said after taking the gloves.

Harry was stunned for a moment, "Happy birthday, Star."

"Thank you." Su Xingchen smiled with curved eyebrows.

"sorry, I do not know……"

"It's okay, I received your gift."

"Next time, I'll prepare a birthday present for you."

"Thank you, Harry." Su Xingchen smiled.

Although she didn't have a birthday present, she received a lot of Christmas presents today, more than Harry and Ron. Almost all the classmates she thought of and didn't think of gave her gifts.

The two put on their invisibility cloaks and prepared to go back. Su Xingchen grabbed Harry and said, "Let's go to the restricted area."

"Restricted Books Section?"

"I think something good will happen if I go there."

Harry was puzzled. "I guessed." Su Xingchen blinked at him.
