Throughout December, Rove took Shirley on a tour of the Forbidden Forest, his back garden.
Along the way, the two of them saw a lot of magnificent scenery, but before they could finish walking through the Forbidden Forest, they had to temporarily end this wonderful trip.
Because...the Christmas holidays are coming.
As the holidays approach, the weather becomes colder and colder. The castle is covered with thick snow, and countless icicles hang down from the spire, like twinkling crystal spears, making Hogwarts look extremely white.
The atmosphere in the school is also extremely warm, and everywhere is filled with the joy of Christmas.
Hagrid dragged twelve huge gray-green spruce trees into the castle and placed them in the center of the Great Hall. The trees were decorated with little fairies that were constantly flapping their wings, twinkling with light;
Professor McGonagall dug out huge blocks of ice from the black lake and used the transformation spell to create ice withers of different shapes. When using the spell "ice withers out", they would jump up and make a crunching sound;
Professor Flitwick taught everyone how to use the Fireworks Charm in class. As long as you wave your wand, a small firework will be ejected from the tip of the wand.
Sirius was even more arrogant. He bought a mile-long firecracker, which exploded from morning to night, making the sound of firecrackers blasting all day long.
Now no one can say that Christmas is not festive anymore.
Even Snape hid a Knut in a potion in class to celebrate Christmas, and whoever drank it would be "blessed" for the whole year.
However, considering that Snape dug out the knut from dried dragon dung and it was all pulpy...it was obvious that no one wanted this blessing.
What excites the little wizards the most is that they can take advantage of their last weekend trip to Hogsmeade before the Christmas holidays.
In the early morning, sitting in the Thestral carriage, Rolf, Shirley and Hermione all fell asleep at the same time.
Hermione was shocked when she saw Rolf and Shirley lying there sleeping. She sat up and said:
"Why are you two so sleepy? What did you do last night?"
The sleepy-eyed Luo Fu yawned. Recently, he took Shirley to run towards the Forbidden Forest at night. Can he not feel sleepy during the day?
He tilted his head and said softly: "I have been studying the knowledge of magical animals in depth during this period and stayed up a few nights."
Hermione snorted and said with concern: "Then you two should take care of your health."
Shirley's delicate body curled up and lay on her side in the carriage. She pillowed her arms, opened one eye and said softly:
"Hermione, you have ten classes a day and are constantly using the Time Turner. You should take care of your health."
"But it's worth learning so many lessons." Hermione lay down again and returned to the carriage.
Luo Fu slept between the two girls, looking at the roof of the car and persuading:
"It's better to tell Professor McGonagall to choose fewer courses. Professor Dumbledore is so great, but he didn't choose all the courses. If you bite off more than you can chew, give up when you need to."
Hermione's brows knitted together. She really wanted to give up Professor Trelawney's Divination class.
Muggle studies were not interesting either. Professor Charity Bubbaji didn't seem to know as much about Muggles as she did.
The most important thing is that using a time turner also increases your age. Hermione doesn't want to see Rolf and Shirley still young and invincible eighteen years old after graduation, while she is already an older aunt in her twenties!
The carriage rocked and the three of them soon fell asleep huddled together.
Crookshanks, squatting in the corner, looked at Rolf, Shirley and Hermione lying side by side, and couldn't help but wrinkle his flat ginger-yellow face.
Crookshanks also wanted to lie down and sleep, but the space was already taken up by three people, leaving him nowhere to set his feet.
It's such a big carriage, but it's not worthy of lying down!
Rolf was actually just sleeping lightly. When the carriage stopped, he opened his eyes, then woke up Shirley and Hermione, and headed to the Three Broomsticks together.
They are not here to play today, but to meet a friend they haven't seen for a long time.
After arriving at the Three Broomsticks, Rolf pushed open the door and saw that the place was bustling with business and overcrowded. A witch was dealing with a group of noisy customers at the bar.
Mrs. Rosmerta, the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks, is still charming and extremely beautiful even though she is in her forties.
This MILF witch is already mature and very feminine, so many students in Hogwarts have a crush on her.
In the corner of the bar, Sirius stood up, waved vigorously and said: "Here, Rolf!"
The three of them walked towards the corner and sat down on the chairs.
There were two wizards sitting next to Sirius, both wearing hats. One of them pushed up the brim of his hat and said with a smile:
"Rolf, Shirley, long time no see. How are you two doing?"
"You're doing well." Luofu smiled and said, "Lupin, you seem to be doing well, you've gained a lot of weight."
Shirley also smiled and said hello. She went to Romania's Fire Dragon Sanctuary last summer vacation, and she and Luof learned a lot of magic from Lupin, so they were very familiar with him.
Lu Ping, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, had indeed gained a lot of weight, and his complexion was much better than before. He was no longer wearing tattered clothes, but a very decent robe.
Apparently, he had saved a lot of money during the two years he worked at the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary and was no longer as embarrassed as when he first met on the Orient Express.
"Rolf, I still have to apologize to you." Lu Ping said apologetically: "You helped me introduce the job, but I resigned midway."
It is difficult for a werewolf to find a job. After all, he has to disappear for a few days every month. After a long time, others will be able to find problems no matter how slow they are.
For a long time, Lu Ping earned money by doing daily wages and part-time labor, but this low-cost job could only ensure that he would not starve to death.
Luping introduced Lupine to a high-paying career, one that didn't mind him asking for leave every month, but he resigned directly.
"Lupin, you are also looking for Peter Pettigrew." Rolf said nonchalantly: "Besides, you can join the job because of your ability, not because of me... Don't care, forget about it."

"Yes, anyway, we both owe Luo Fu a lot of favors, and we will pay them back slowly in the future." Sirius laughed and said:
"What do you three little guys want to drink? This is Hogsmeade, you can drink some high-concentration wine... How about some mead first?"
"No." Rolf shook his head and said, "They are not good drinkers. Butterbeer will do."
It would be fine if Shirley and Hermione were just bad drinkers, but they were also bad drinkers.
Last Christmas, at the Pig's Head pub in Aberforth, the two of them got extremely drunk and dragged Rolf into a drinking frenzy... The young man can still remember it vividly in his mind.
The two of them were completely drunk and had no memory of it when they woke up.
If a girl is drunk, Luo Fu can handle it alone, but if both of them are drunk...he won't be able to sleep tonight.
