HP Star Shining
Chapter 38
Harry was glad that most of the students had left the school. He was tired of being avoided in the corridors as if he would turn into a monster, grow fangs and spit poison at any moment. He was also tired of being pointed at and whispered about whenever he passed a place.
However, twins George and Fred thought it was all in good fun.
Every time they met in the corridor, they would deliberately run up to Harry, striding in front of him and shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, the most evil wizard is coming."
Ginny didn't find it funny at all, and every time Fred or George said something like that she would look very sad and yell, "Don't do that."
Su Xingchen couldn't help but tease, "Ginny really cares about Harry, don't you think, Ron?"
Ron beside him nodded hurriedly, "Indeed, except for Harry's matter, I have never seen her so excited."
I just don’t know if it’s because of love or guilt, probably half and half, Su Xingchen thought.
"Maybe she just doesn't like her brothers saying such things." Harry looked at Su Xingchen's playful smile, but her eyes were always following the three noisy siblings on the other side, and she didn't notice his helplessness at all.
Harry himself didn't care about George and Fred's behavior. At least he felt relieved that the twins thought that the idea of him being the heir of Slytherin was absurd and ridiculous.
"Haven't you noticed that Malfoy's face is getting uglier and uglier?" Hermione said.
"Who cares?" Ron shrugged. "Maybe he just wants others to know that he did all this. You know, he hates others to surpass him in any way."
Su Xingchen was speechless. "Young man, how could your train of thought be so bizarre?" "Who would want others to know after doing something bad?" She glanced at Ginny obscurely, hoping she wouldn't be too surprised when the truth came out.
"It won't be long. The Polyjuice Potion will be ready soon. We can get more information out of him at any time." Hermione nodded proudly. "Eh? Xingchen, why are you walking so fast all of a sudden?"
Su Xingchen said nothing, waved his hand and walked towards the common room faster, leaving the three people confused.
She couldn't hear the word "Polyjuice Potion" now. As Hermione said, the taste of the thing became more indescribable as it was successfully brewed.
Let me describe it this way: a pot of bubbling green bubbles that looked like shit, emitting a smell that was a mixture of wet smelly socks, rotten straw mats, and spoiled sea fish soup. She felt dizzy and wanted to vomit when she heard these four words now.
She admired the fact that the protagonists could drink it with other people's hair, but she said that they were the protagonists, so she couldn't compare with them, absolutely not at all.
"What happened to her?" Harry looked at Su Xingchen's receding back with some worry.
"Isn't it because of Malfoy?" Ron frowned.
"Impossible, they haven't spoken to each other for half a term." Harry retorted with a frown.
"Who knows? You know she's always soft-hearted and easy to talk to. Maybe Malfoy has secretly contacted Xingchen without telling us." Ron thought thoughtfully.
If Su Xingchen heard it, she would definitely cry out in injustice. Unfortunately, she couldn't hear it.
A semester is finally over.
A silence as thick as snow fell over the entire Hogwarts Castle.
Harry didn't feel bored at all, but instead felt a rare sense of peace.
He was extremely happy at the thought that he could freely enter and exit the castle with his friends and other Weasley brothers and sisters throughout the winter vacation, play Crackling Exploding Cards loudly without worrying about disturbing others, and practice dueling in secret.
This year, Percy, Fred, George, and Ginny stayed behind and did not go to Egypt with the Weasleys to see Bill.
Life during the holidays was very happy. With more time to spend together, Su Xingchen's relationship with the other Weasley brothers and sisters became better and better.
With snowflakes flying outside the window, Christmas came quietly, and the entire castle was covered in white.
Early in the morning, Su Xingchen was dragged out of her warm bed by Hermione and taken to Myrtle's bathroom.
"You are so delicate." Hermione glanced at Su Xingchen, who was wearing a homemade mask and facing away from her, almost vomiting, and did not forget to casually add lacewings to the soup.
It’s not that I’m too delicate, it’s that you’re too strong! Su Xingchen was going crazy. She almost wanted to grab Hermione and yell, “Sister, it’s my birthday today, please let me go!”
However, Su Xingchen's birthday was not told to anyone else except Harry last year when she was feeling melancholy for a moment. She also later told Harry not to reveal it to anyone else.
When a classmate asked her before, she vaguely said it was during the holidays, so everyone mistakenly thought it was summer vacation, so no classmates would think of celebrating her birthday.
After all, she got in through the back door and was not old enough, so she didn't want to cause extra trouble for Dumbledore.
After finally dealing with the Polyjuice Potion, Hermione pulled Su Xingchen straight to the dormitory for the boys.
The rule at Hogwarts is that boys cannot enter the girls' dormitory, but girls can enter the boys' dormitory.
Su Xingchen stared in amazement as Hermione pushed the door open and then quickly pulled open the curtains of Harry and his roommates' dormitory. "Sister, you are such a tiger! Fortunately, only Harry and Ron live here now."
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Hermione, you shouldn't be here," Ron said, putting his hand over his eyes to block out the light.
"Merry Christmas," Hermione said, throwing the gift in her hand to him. "I've been up for over an hour, and the Polyjuice Potion is ready. Xingchen, why are you standing at the door?"
Only then did the two boys notice that Su Xingchen was standing awkwardly at the door. When he saw them looking at him, he smiled at them awkwardly.
She didn't dare rush in like Hermione. What if someone slept without clothes?
"Are you sure?" Harry sat up.
Hermione moved Scabbers aside and sat down on Harry's bed. "If we're going to take action, I think tonight is the best time."
At this moment, Hedwig flew in from the window with a small package in his mouth.
It landed on Harry's bed and gently bit his ear intimately. This greeting was much more precious than the package it brought.
After Harry and Ron put on their clothes, Su Xingchen walked up and curiously took the gift in the package, a toothpick, and looked at it left and right.
Last Christmas, she already knew that the wizards' favorite gifts were all kinds of candies. Occasionally, someone would give other small gadgets or books, but generally speaking, they were not too expensive.
But... a toothpick still refreshed Su Xingchen's worldview.
Harry looked at the attached text message and curled his lips. "My uncle asked if I could stay at Hogwarts during the summer vacation."
It was a gift from the Dursleys, no wonder.
Su Xingchen and Hermione watched Harry and Ron open their Christmas presents.
In addition to the wonderful gifts from the Dursleys, Su Xingchen gave Harry a new pair of Quidditch gloves, Hermione gave him a gorgeous eagle feather brush, Ron gave him a copy of "Flying with the Artillery", Mrs. Weasley knitted him a new sweater and a large plum cake, and Hagrid made a large bag of hard treacle toffee.
"Or it would be better if you put it by the fire and soften it." This bag of hard candy made Su Xingchen want to laugh for some reason. She still remembered those hard rock cakes from last year.
Perhaps they had thought of this as well, Harry and Ron also started laughing. Only Hermione looked at the three of them in confusion, as she was not part of their group at that time.
Ron got a little more gifts than Harry, after all, no other classmates gave Harry Christmas presents this year except them.
Su Xingchen guessed that what Ron wanted most was a new wand, but she couldn't give him that, so she gave him a set of Richard Artillery Team uniforms that he liked, and he was very excited.
"Ah! Xingchen, I love you, I love you so much!" Ron couldn't let it go. "I want to hang it in my room and look at it every day. This suit is not cheap."
Su Xingchen didn’t quite know the price of Ron’s gift, but it was definitely not cheap, after all, it was celebrity peripherals.
As for Hermione, Su Xingchen gave her a complete set of signed photos published by Lockhart.
Although she hated Lockhart, Hermione liked him. The purpose of giving gifts is to make people happy. Hermione was so happy that she hugged Su Xingchen, who had just gotten out of bed, and spun around several times.
Su Xingchen would never ask Lockhart for an autograph. This set of autographed photos cost a huge price to buy.
In fact, she still couldn't fully understand the currency conversion value in the wizarding world. After all, she spent the whole year at Hogwarts and had few places to spend money. She had only been to Diagon Alley twice.
As for the gifts she gave, last year she asked Professor McGonagall to do it, and this year during the summer vacation she contacted a grocer in Diagon Alley who was willing to run errands for her. When she needed something, she would make a list and have an owl send it over, and the grocer would take care of it for her. Of course, the errand fee was not small.
After all, the puppet butler is not a wizard and cannot enter Diagon Alley alone. But when you think about it, her Aqui seems to be a spendthrift.
It doesn't matter, rich women never look at the price when buying things, woo woo...
The auditorium looks particularly solemn and majestic tonight.
There were a dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost, and the ceiling was crisscrossed with thick ribbons of mistletoe and holly. The most surprising thing was the magical snow, warm and dry, that slowly fell from the ceiling.
Professor Dumbledore led everyone in singing some of his favorite Christmas songs, and Hagrid's voice grew louder and louder as he drank glass after glass of eggnog. Percy, unaware that Fred had bewitched his prefect badge to read "Dumbo," kept asking everyone what they were laughing at.
Harry noticed that Malfoy, who was sitting at the Slytherin table, was glaring at him fiercely. He glanced at Su Xingchen, who was sitting opposite him with her back to Malfoy, and was laughing and joking with Hermione. He didn't mind Malfoy's malice at all. If nothing unexpected happened, Malfoy would get the punishment he deserved in a few hours.
