John watched the Weasley twins cast a spell on Snowball so that Snowball would chase Quirrell and hit him on the head, which made him feel secretly happy.
Quirrell, who stopped pretending in front of John, could not show his face in front of other students. He could only continue to pretend to be a person and smile wryly, as if he was cowardly. In fact, he had even thought about where to bury the Weasley twins.
The biting cold wind slapped the windows of the Hogwarts classrooms, and there was a roaring fire burning in the auditorium, and the weather became colder.
John rubbed his palms and let out a breath of white air that fell on the glass.
Seeing that Malfoy was going to fall in love with Harry for a while before the holiday, John complained: "They say elementary school students will bully the people they like. Malfoy has a crush on him."

Ron was irritated first because Malfoy said something about his family.
But Snape seemed to have deliberately waited for this moment to come out. Even with Hagrid's intercession, he did not hesitate to deduct 5 points from Gryffindor.
Malfoy left triumphantly, deliberately squeezing the needles from the fir trees everywhere.
"I'm going to teach him a lesson, just like John taught him a lesson!" Ron gritted his teeth with hatred, wishing he could turn into John and punch Malfoy on the face.
Harry nodded with deep understanding. Malfoy and Snape were the two people he hated most at Hogwarts.
Hagrid poured cold water on him, "That's probably going to be difficult. John is the most capable wizard I've ever seen. Come to the auditorium with me. John will come with you."
Ron suddenly felt bad. Hagrid invited them to see the almost decorated auditorium. John also wanted to see how Christmas was celebrated in the wizarding world.
The auditorium became beautiful and spectacular under the decoration of Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.
The walls were covered with hanging ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and twelve towering Christmas trees were erected all around.
Some trees were hung with shiny little icicles, and others were lit by hundreds of candles.
Hagrid just happened to send the last one, and after decorating the tree, it was over.
Hagrid began to look forward to Christmas and asked, "How many days until the holiday?"
"There's only one day. This reminds me. We can go to the library in half an hour."
Hermione did not forget Nico Flamel and extended an invitation to John, "John, do you want to come with us?"
"Okay, it's okay to be idle." John agreed after thinking about it and being quite concerned about it.
Hagrid asked curiously: "You are working too hard if you are still reading during the holiday."
He was in a good mood because Christmas was coming.
But Harry would soon put him in a bad mood, and Harry said happily: "We are not reviewing our lessons, we are trying to find out who Nicolas Flamel is."
"I told you to stop, what that big dog is guarding has nothing to do with you."
Surprise turned to horror, and Hagrid persuaded the three little ones to stop their dangerous behavior.
However, he also underestimated Gryffindor's death-seeking spirit. The more this happened, the more motivated the three of them were.
It's just that the name was too difficult to find. The three little ones looked through many books in the library but couldn't find it.
For this reason, Hermione also made a list to make it easier to find.
At dinner time, the four of them left the library.
Hermione refused to admit defeat and asked them to search during the holiday. It would be best to inform herself of the results through an owl.
...
on vacation.
John was eating the turkey, and he had to say that this chicken was really tall and nothing else.
Using a knife and fork to cut off a piece of meat from the turkey, John had the urge to wrap it in bread and eat it.
At the same time, his owl Basil had already flown away, probably to get the gift his parents were going to send.
"The express delivery industry is really developed. If you can open an owl express company, you will definitely make a lot of money."
John didn't know what his parents would give him. He just hoped that Mr. Wick wouldn't send him a mouse or a black widow.
During the holidays, John tried his hand at wizard's chess.
The rules of this kind of chess are similar to chess, but it is more entertaining. Seeing his queen being smashed by Ron's knight, John just chuckled.
John, who originally suspected that he was a poor chess player, was relieved after seeing Harry kneel down eighteen times.
It was snowing outside, and John hadn't forgotten his training.
After the magic power is upgraded, the power of the spell will also increase accordingly.
This is easy to understand. Magic is like a faucet. The water in the faucet determines the size of the water.
His magic power was not enough before, and the spells he released were not very powerful.
The power of spells after level 3 has been greatly improved, and John can learn more attack spells.
But the first thing he learned was a defensive spell.
"Protego"
This is a defensive spell used to ward off aggression and can be used to neutralize most attacks.
It's a very practical magic spell.
After coming out of the Room of Requirement, John returned to his dormitory.
When I woke up early the next morning, Basil beside the bed had returned with gifts.
He opened a present from Mrs. Wick.
It was a pair of warm gloves, knitted by Mrs. Wick herself.
The second one is Dad Watson Wick. The gift package is a four-sided cube.
After shaking it, I realized it couldn't fit a mouse inside.
Opening the gift, John saw a bottle of hot sauce inside.
When he was confused, he saw the name of this hot sauce.
"Lao Ganma?!"
(Trivia: Laoganma was established in 1984)
Along with the gift came a letter from Old Wick.
After opening it, the father knew that his son liked food from that mysterious country in the East, so he asked many connections and finally got a bottle of Lao Ganma.
John couldn't wait to open Lao Ganma, picked up a little with a fork and put it into his mouth.
The familiar taste after eleven years bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and John almost burst into tears at that time.
Even the gifts from Hagrid and Hermione became unimportant.
in the hall.
Harry looked at the strange bottle in John's hand curiously and asked aloud: "What is this? It smells strange?"
"This is chili sauce, you can try it." John said a spoonful of Lao Gan Ma can be used to dip everything.
Ron changed into a dark purple hand-knitted sweater and curiously tried Lao Ganma. The weird flavor blooming from his taste buds contained the heritage of the ancient Eastern country.
"The taste is very strange, a little spicy and a little strange."
Although he said this, Ron still tried to dip the chicken legs like John.
The moment you eat it, it feels like a new world has opened.
Seeing Ron like this, Harry also tried curiously.
Immediately, like Ron, he couldn't resist the strange smell.
Ron also gave John fudge, which tasted delicious and sweet.
John opened the chocolate frog sent by Hermione, and the chocolate frog inside almost jumped away.
The twins were wearing the same hand-knitted sweaters as Ron, except they were blue and had different letters on them.
At the Christmas party, John's old godmother successfully attracted more people's attention.
Wearing a bonnet with flowers on his head, Dumbledore took a taste, but judging from his expression, he must have been disappointed that this thing was not sweet.
After the Christmas banquet, both professors and students were very happy.
...
In the Room of Requirement, John found a rare resting place.
Taking out the chocolate frog given by Hermione, John grabbed the frog and took a bite.
A wizard card fell from the box.
Above is Dumbledore.
John didn't take it to heart at first, and glanced at it casually, his eyes staying on the card.
Albus Dumbledore, current Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Recognized as the greatest wizard of our time,
Dumbledore's most well-known contributions include:
Defeated Dark Knight Grindelwald in 1945,
Discover twelve uses for the fire dragon's blood.
Effective in alchemy with partner Nico Flamel,
Professor Dumbledore loved chamber music and bowling.
Looking at the card blankly, John's eyes fell on Nico Flamel's name.
"alchemy?"
Touching his chin, John remembered that he had seen something very unnatural in the records of alchemy.
It's called...the Philosopher's Stone?
