It's finally time for dinner, the "family reunion" Christmas feast.The towering Christmas tree in the basement kitchen still hung with tiny icicles and golden bubbles.Today, Lupine used his magic wand to conjure up many colorful little fairies that keep fluttering their wings and adorn it.

On the long iron chestnut table, Kreacher and Dobby prepared a sumptuous Christmas feast.There were hills of roast meat and boiled potatoes, great plates of delicious little sausages, great bowls of peas in butter, plates of rich, thick gravy and lingonberry sauce.There are also various Christmas puddings and mince pies.

There is a huge turkey in the middle of the table, and there are a lot of wizarding bag firecrackers on both sides.

Snape seemed to be dismissive of these, he sat down at the back of the long table with a sullen face, and Draco sat next to him.Harry, Ron and Lupine sat on the other side.

Gryffindor and Slytherin are clearly separated, and Sirius, the master, finally came late.

He yawned, ignored Snape's cold eyes, and sat down at the head of the table with his usual expression.He looked calm and breezy, as if Snape really came to Black's old house for Christmas at his invitation, and Draco was really his good nephew who loved and cared for him.

Five pairs of eyes on the dining table stared at Sirius, and Sirius took apart the huge turkey calmly.

Kreacher stuffed a lot of vegetables and fruits into the turkey belly, including carrots, celery, onions, chestnuts, etc., and Dobby smeared a variety of spices on the surface.The color and fragrance are strong, which makes the index finger move.

Sirius put the first chicken leg removed on Snape's dinner plate as if nothing had happened, and then smiled and raised the silver goblet and said the opening toast: "The first glass of wine, to my dearest best friend - Severus Snape. Merry Christmas!"

Snape was exuding cold air all over his body, but he still raised his goblet and touched Sirius: "I also respect you - the outstanding eldest son of the Black family, a model of pure-blood wizards, Merry Christmas!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, both pretending not to see the fierce rivalry and invisible spark between Snape and Sirius.

Ron grinned and raised a big glass of butterbeer to respect the platinum boy opposite: "To my best friend, my dearest Draco Malfoy! Merry Christmas! Thank you for sending me slug bait."

Draco narrowed his eyes, calmly picked up his wine glass and said with a smirk: "Merry Christmas, my dear Ron Weasley, and thank you for sending me the stinky psyllid jelly."

Only Harry and Lupine were genuinely happy clinking glasses with everyone.The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor looked particularly happy tonight, and he also toasted Snape's wine glass after glass.

Unlike Sirius, Lupine called "Dear Severus" from the bottom of his heart, and expressed his sincere gratitude and blessings to Snape.

He drank glass after glass of sherry, wine, blueberry cider, and mead, until he was almost tipsy.Harry had to grab his goblet with Sirius, but Lupine simply walked up to Snape with the barrel in his arms.

Lupine, who was so drunk, flushed and reeked of alcohol all over his body, was more difficult to deal with than Sirius.He tugged at Snape's robe desperately, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, dear Severus, thank you for inventing the wolfsbane reagent. May Merlin bless you! Thank you, thank you."

Snape silently looked at the drunk Lupine, but finally stretched his brows, and took the initiative to touch the silver goblet with Lupine's large wooden wine barrel: "I accept your thanks, Remus .”

As the host, Sirius also began to persuade everyone to drink one by one, especially to Snape.

He always referred to Snape as "my dearest Severus", looking warm and sincere as if Snape was his long-lost lover, making a muscle in Snape's cheek bulge. out.However, Sirius' attitude was so good and sincere that Snape couldn't get angry due to the occasion and atmosphere.

This made Ron very happy.

Harry also enjoyed watching it very much, and he very much hoped that Snape and Sirius could get along in harmony.

Draco was also very happy, he thought that he would copy the potion manuscript with Snape again tonight.

After the turkey dinner it was the turn of the Christmas pudding.

Christmas pudding is also a traditional food in England.In Muggle families, the whole family will also participate in the production together, symbolizing reunion, harmony, and making wishes when mixing the dough.It is said that it needs to be stirred in a clockwise direction, and it is unlucky to turn in the wrong direction.Finally, a coin is hidden, and whoever gets it will have good luck for a year.

Apparently Dobby hid the coins in these puddings, for each of them nearly shattered their teeth when they ate a crescent of silver in the pudding.

But this does not prevent Sirius from picking up the first pudding and putting it on Snape's plate, and then flatteringly said: "The first and luckiest Christmas pudding is for my best friend Severus." Then, he blinked slyly, and said with a mysterious smile: "I checked it with magic, and there are coins in it."

Snape just squinted at Sirius and sneered, but he finally condescended to bite into the first lucky pudding.

Christmas crackers are also an indispensable scenery for the British to celebrate Christmas.It is said that a confectioner in London made the first Christmas cracker in 1850.

The popular Christmas cracker is a tube made of cardboard, shaped like a particularly large fruit candy.The two pulled one end each, and there was a small explosion when the paper tube was broken.

The person who gets the big head gets the small gifts, which generally include a crown-shaped paper hat, a small toy, a note with jokes, riddles or short stories about brain teasers, etc.

After Christmas parties and Christmas dinners, guests often pull Christmas crackers.Although cracker jokes are usually not funny at all, small gifts are ugly and useless etc.

"Crack!" Sirius enthusiastically handed the tail end of the first large silver firecracker to Snape, and Snape reluctantly took it and pulled it.The cannon made a "bang!", as if firing a gun, and spread out, revealing a big witch's hat with a pointed top, and there were specimens of mountain eagles on the top of the hat.Very funny.

Sirius looked at Snape's face darkened, and took the initiative to put that ridiculous mountain eagle witch hat on his head with a smile. "Look, dear Severus, do I look good in the hat you pulled out?"

Against the background of the colorful and soft lights of Christmas, Harry felt that the smiling Sirius wearing this hat unexpectedly had a thrilling aesthetic feeling, and he applauded enthusiastically: "It looks good!"

Ron also booed: "It's beautiful! Sirius!"

Snape rolled his eyes at Harry and the others coolly.

Harry and Ron romped together and pulled a wink, which exploded like a cannon blast, engulfing them all in a cloud of blue smoke while blasting a rear admiral's hat from it , and a few alive and kicking mice.

Crookshanks, the elusive ginger cat, ran out, chasing the mice all over the kitchen. Ron noisily put the Rear Admiral's hat on the ginger cat's head.

Drunk Lupine smiled and handed a golden cracker to his student Draco.

Draco pulled it lightly, and a beautiful and gorgeous Slytherin dark green gentleman's hat fell out, accompanied by a lot of dreamy and fragrant yellow roses.

This scene is so beautiful.Draco put the Slytherin dark green gentleman hat on his head very maintaining the atmosphere, not too big or too small, just right.

"Does it look good?" Draco asked with a smile, a faint drunken blush on his pale cheeks.

"It's quite suitable, it complements your complexion." The good uncle Sirius said cheeringly.

They pulled all the crackers off the table and ended up with a hat on everyone's head, including Snape.

Regardless of the true moods of the others at the table, this was the happiest Christmas meal Harry and Lupine had ever had.

The last thing Black's old house lacked was empty rooms. After so many days of hard work, except for Regulus's dusty room, all the rooms were also cleaned.And Sirius had arranged Snape and Draco's room early in the morning.

Snape's room was the same as Lupine's, on the fourth floor.Draco was arranged by Snape in a bedroom on the third floor. It is said that Narcissa once lived in it. Kreacher arranged it in an orderly manner. Dobby even went to Malfoy Manor to transport a lot of Draco. The usual living items are placed inside.

Since the owner, although smiling and casual on the outside, actually refused to unlock the door of the house, and Snape was unwilling to spoil the atmosphere at Christmas, so he and Draco stayed at 12 Grimmauld Place that night.

Harry didn't know what Snape and Sirius were talking about upstairs that night. It sounded like there was a lot of movement anyway, and it seemed that they even moved their hands.But then Snape lived in Black's old house for another two days, seemingly happily, and there were some striking bruises on Sirius' handsome face.

During the period, everyone was calm, unremarkable, respectful to each other, as boring as plain boiled water.However, these boring Christmas routines are very beautiful and warm to Harry, and he wishes to live like this forever.

Except, he always has weird dreams these days.

Dreaming of a gloomy house, dreaming of a bloody rabbit hanging from the roof, dreaming of a dark cabinet, dreaming of being abandoned by parents and becoming an orphan.Fortunately, these dreams will be forgotten when he wakes up, and they can only affect his mood for a while.

Dreams are always reversed, which probably shows that his current life is too good.Harry said to himself happily.
