HP Star Shining

"He won't listen!"

"He said we were really far behind."

"We don't know anything about werewolves. Two whole pages of parchment..."

Professor Lupin smiled at every indignant face in the audience and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to Professor Snape. You don't have to write that paper."

Except for Hermione who was sighing, everyone else below the podium burst into excited cheers.

Of course, Su Xingchen was not among the happy people, because she remembered that Lupin fell "sick" again, and then Snape asked the students for their papers, but she could only smile now.JPG.

This afternoon, the students at Hogwarts had another very enjoyable Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Professor Lupin brought a glass box containing a Hinckley Punk.

It was a small, one-legged creature that looked like it was made of wisps of smoke. It was quite fragile and didn't look dangerous.

"It will lead travelers into the swamp. Did you notice its damaged lantern..." Professor Lupin said as the students took notes. The Hinckley Punk stuck to the glass wall, making a terrible creaking sound.

The bell rang and everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave the classroom.

"Wait, Harry," Lupin called out. "I want to talk to you."

Su Xingchen looked back as she walked out of the classroom with Hermione and Ron, and saw Harry walking up to the podium.

It's time to put the Patronus Charm on the agenda.

When Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room, his face was obviously excited, no longer the listless look of the previous two days. Su Xingchen knew that everything was stable.

At the end of November, Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff in a Quidditch match, and Harry's mood improved.

Although Su Xingchen felt dizzy after watching the game, it did not prevent her from knowing that this year's Ravenclaw Seeker was Qiu Zhang.

She couldn't help but imagine the domineering romance between Cedric and Qiu in her mind, "Woman, you actually beat me?" "Very good, you successfully caught my attention!" Then she couldn't help laughing out loud.

After coming to her senses, she wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead. She felt like she had some serious illness. There might really be something wrong with her brain. Fortunately, everyone was watching the game and no one noticed.

After the game, Wood regained his crazy energy.

After all, Gryffindor had not been eliminated yet, so the Gryffindor team began to train hard in wind and rain again.

Su Xingchen went to see Madam Pomfrey, who looked at her for a while and then drove her out of the hospital, saying that there was nothing wrong with her.

But since Su Xingchen realized it, she has increasingly found that there is something wrong with her. Thinking about her recent mindless words and stupid behaviors, her IQ has obviously dropped. The most obvious thing is that what she could remember after reading it once before, now she needs to read it three or four times. How can it be that her IQ, which was not high to begin with, has dropped further!

But Madam Pomfrey said that she was fine, so Su Xingchen could only attribute her abnormality to the Dementors, and hoped that Harry would learn the Patronus Charm as soon as possible.

The rain continued until December.

One day, two weeks before the end of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared up and turned a bright and dazzling egg-white color.

A layer of crystal white frost began to condense on the muddy grass, and Hogwarts Castle began to be filled with the busy atmosphere of Christmas.

Professor Flitwick has decorated the Charms classroom with colorful little lights that turn into real fairies, fluttering their wings.

The classmates were happily discussing their holiday plans, and Ron and Hermione also decided to stay in Hogwarts for the holidays this year.

Although Ron said he couldn't stand being with Percy for two weeks, Hermione said she needed to go to the library all the time to find things.

Harry knew they were staying with him, and for that he was grateful.

Su Xingchen wanted to go home and eat the food made by Agui, but when she saw Harry's touched expression, she couldn't open her mouth.

The little man in my heart was scratching his hands in grievance, sobbing...

So this year, all four of them stayed at Hogwarts for the Christmas holidays.

It was the last weekend to go to Hogsmeade, and everyone was excited. Hermione planned to buy everything she needed for Christmas.

Harry and Su Xingchen will once again be the only two people left behind in the third grade.

Harry planned to borrow a copy of "The Complete Guide to Flying Broomsticks" from Wood and research different brands of flying broomsticks that day.

He was currently training with the school's flying broom, the old antique "Comet", which was very slow and stumbling.

Su Xingchen was lying dejectedly on the table in the lounge because she couldn't go home for Christmas, and she didn't go with Harry to see Hermione and Ron off.

When Harry returned to the common room, he was clearly feeling very hungry.

"Why did you take so long?" Su Xingchen asked listlessly.

"I have something to show you." Harry was obviously excited. "We need to go where there are no people."

Harry pulled Su Xingchen into the dormitory, locked the door carefully, and took out a yellowed, worn parchment from his pocket. "We can go to Hogsmeade now."

Isn't this the map the twins gave Harry?

"Look." Harry excitedly pulled out his wand, tapped the parchment lightly, and muttered, "I solemnly swear that I will do no good."

In an instant, thin lines of black ink appeared and spread out as if they had life, connecting to each other like a spider web, crisscrossing and expanding to every corner of the parchment.

Across the top of the parchment appeared large green cursive characters: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, gentlemen of the magical mischief-making profession, present the Marauder's Map.

So it’s called the Living Map, Su Xingchen thought, quite appropriate.

The map showed all the details of Hogwarts Castle and grounds, but unlike an ordinary map, there were many small black dots on it that kept moving, with names marked in very small words next to them.

Dumbledore was milling about in the Headmaster's office, Peeves was hopping about in the trophy room, and Mrs. Norris was patrolling the third-floor corridor.

Even though he already knew about the existence of the map, Su Xingchen still found it very strange, as if a satellite was hovering over Hogwarts, scanning everyone in real time.

Thinking of this, Su Xingchen shuddered again, it was scary.

Fortunately, the map is in Harry's hands, and he only uses it occasionally.

"Look here," Harry pointed to a passage on the map they had never seen before. "It leads directly to Honeydukes' cellar. We can go to Hogsmeade now."

In fact, Su Xingchen didn't care, but Harry looked expectant, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

It's cold now, so it's nice to try the butterbeer that Hermione and Ron rave about, even though she's never had any alcohol.

Harry and Su Xingchen carefully slipped out of the Gryffindor common room and came to the statue of the one-eyed witch. After confirming that no one was around, Harry quickly pulled out his wand and tapped the statue, muttering, "Separate left and right."
