"Hey! Can anyone tell me what happened to that 'Christmas Eve John' just now?"

A lost ghost who can inadvertently pass through the wall and enter the old house of Black with the Fidelity Charm is undoubtedly a defensive hole worthy of attention.

But since it is possible to know the location of the loophole in advance, it is naturally a good thing.

Compared to this, Maca is more curious about that Mr. Ghost. Because judging from the reactions of Lupine and Mundungus, there must be something interesting about each other.

During such a relaxing holiday, it must be a good choice to entertain with some funny stories.

"Dung, tell me about it! It looks like you know more than me..." Lupine handed over the right to tell the story.

"Oh, it's a great honor to tell this little story for Mr. McLean!" Mundungus nodded with a flattering smile, "Well, that's right... Since he is called 'John on Christmas Eve', his Stories always happen on Christmas Eve..."

John Creech is a wizard who is very good at using directional spells. But what made him such a master of directional spells a long time ago was his rare talent of being 100% lunatic.

Generally speaking, even if you are a road idiot, you will not get lost anytime and anywhere, but John can.

So, in order to make up for his shortcomings, and to avoid being a few weeks late every time because he got lost. He worked hard and practiced both the orientation spell and apparition to the point of memorization.

Since these two spells have never failed again, he can finally live like a normal person-although he has to rely on these two spells to help him get around wherever he goes.

Later, when John was twenty-eight years old, he married a witch.

The married life is very happy, at least John thinks so. Because his lover is a beautiful and romantic woman.

They spent three wonderful years together and had two children.

The days after marriage were very sweet. Even though his wife had become a qualified mother, the family she managed was still full of romance.

On a cold but warm Christmas Eve, Mrs. Creech took her two children and arranged their house, making it look as gorgeous and colorful as a Christmas palace that can only be found in fairy tales.

In order to have a little joke with her husband back from work, Mrs Creech cast a beautiful concealment charm on her family's house - she intended for John to search for it.

I have to admit that Mrs. Creech thought that her husband was the best wizard in the world who was good at finding places!

However, John, who finished work early that night, confirmed the direction of his home with a directional spell as usual, and happily disapparated.

But when he appeared in the garden that was supposed to be in front of his house, he discovered that the three-story building that was so familiar to him had disappeared!

Oh! Our Mr. John is freaking out! His first reaction was that something must have gone wrong with his orientation spell or apparition spell!

Since he was a child, if he was not lost, he must be on the way to get lost. No matter how proficient the spell is, he has never had a bottom in his heart.

Anxiously, John tried to locate with the Orienting Charm again. It's just that he was standing on the destination, no matter how he cast a spell, the wand in his palm would just spin around.

John, who thought that the directional spell was completely out of control, was at a loss.

In a hurry, he spun around several times, paced around and began to think of a way. But when he thought that tonight was Christmas Eve, and his wife and children were waiting for him at home, he became more and more anxious.

Finally, after turning around in circles and trying to figure out a way, John, who was dizzy himself, cast his Apparition Charm,

Going to ask someone for directions.

It was just one of these hasty apparitions where he packed himself into some kind of wall.

So, why is it that the Apparition Charm not only has a twelve-week course, but also must be at least seventeen years old to sign up for it? Because the danger of this spell cannot be ignored by any wizard.

To put it in a small way, lack of arms and legs is a mistake, which is usually the result of the inability to move the mind throughout the body; but in a big way, it will be like our John, when the whole body is revealed. It's all mixed with other substances!

Mr. John Creech died on the spot when he was "not distinguishing you from me" with the wall. But maybe because he wanted to go home and thought about it all his life, the resentment of staying in the world was too strong, and he finally turned into a ghost.

And we know that ghosts cannot cast spells. Without the help of the directional spell, he fell into a never-ending loss.

"...every Christmas Eve, John would try harder than usual to search for it. But it was probably because those who knew him thought he was too pitiful, so no one told him that his wife and children were long gone. alive." Lupine added after Mundungus had finished the funny and sad story slowly.

"He doesn't know how long he has been looking for?" Maca asked strangely.

"Probably he can't figure it out! Because he's been lost all the time..." Lupine shrugged. Clear."

"Or, it's just that he's just confused?" Maca thought for a while, then smiled lightly, "However, maybe it would be easier for him to let him get lost like this!"

There is a saying in the wizarding world: "Behind every ghost, there is a worrying past (,) 1".

Wizards turned into ghosts because of their strong will to stay, there is always an old story worth hearing hidden behind them. But the past of Mr. "Christmas Eve John" seems a little less epic.

But this is also normal, because in this world, how many people can plan their own death?

After listening to a short story full of Christmas atmosphere, Maca couldn't help stretching, and then stood up suddenly.

"I'm going to add some defensive measures to this house, so that nothing will float in through the wall next time..." He walked outside the door while casually saying, "When I'm done, I have to go out One lap, you don't have to wait for me!"

"Mr. McLean."

Before Maca could walk out of the kitchen door, she was stopped by a voice.

"What's wrong?" He turned around and said, "Lena, is there anything else?"

"Just a moment please."

Lena gave a slight signal to Maca, and then quickly walked into the kitchen. Maca glanced at Lupin, and found that Lupine also looked ignorant.

Not long after, Lena walked up to Maca holding something, and shook it away gently.

"Mr. McLean, please try to see if it fits."

Maca looked in surprise, but it was a wizard's robe with black background and silver border. Because the inside is also lined with a layer of cashmere, it looks very warm.

"Oh, did you make this?" He said happily, "Thank you for the gift."

Just as he was speaking, he waved his hand casually, and the outer robe he was wearing right now slipped off his body lightly, and flew onto the back of the chair beside him. Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand and put the new robe that Lena was carrying back on himself.

"Not bad, the size is just right." Maca nodded and said, "It's very warm."

Lena stood in front of him, looked left and right for a while, and finally seemed to have confirmed the confirmation, and nodded along with Maca.

"How did you think of making clothes for me?" Maca asked curiously.

"I wanted to make a new dress for Lainie, so I went to ask Mrs. Weasley." Lena said so bluntly and unequivocally, and whispered, "...you can do it with confidence now. gone."

"Oh, really?" Maca twitched the corner of his mouth, "Well, it's great that I can come in handy."

Then, under the smirking eyes of Lupine and Mundungus, Maca was finally able to leave the kitchen.

"...Merry Christmas, Mr. McLean."

Lena was behind him, watching him politely as he gradually disappeared outside the door.

...

It is not difficult for Maca to add a few defensive spells to Black's old house. Soon, he put away his staff, and then appeared in front of the gate of Hogwarts with the power of the Portkey.

If he had time later, he might make a trip to the Burrow. But the top priority at the moment is to go to Hogsmeade to visit an "old friend" who is also alone for Christmas.

Today, Hogsmeade village is as colorful as anywhere else.

All kinds of Christmas-colored lights illuminate this snow-covered wizarding village all year round. Snowmen of all sizes are waddling forward in the snow, and from time to time they will pull out the slender nose on the faces of their companions. Carrot, which made his companion jump for a while.

Here, you can also see a few students who stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas. There are not many such students, but there are always some.

Even if they can't get together with their families, they can enjoy this wonderful vacation to the fullest whether in Hogwarts or Hogsmeade.

Maca kept walking on the streets of the village, and after turning a corner, he came to the old bar with a wild boar's head hanging on the door.

The Dumbledore in Hogwarts has already left, so the Dumbledore in the Hog's Head Bar will feel somewhat lonely because of this, right?

Especially in this kind of day when the whole family should be reunited, the sense of loss in his heart may make Aberforth's heart feel even more empty—even if the two brothers had been at odds for some reason long ago.

"Squeak—"

Maca reached out and pushed open the door of the bar.
