Chapter 250 Merry Christmas
The three of them turned around and told Professor McGonagall about this.
McGonagall, who heard the news, showed anger without a trace of fakeness on her face. She said that she would handle this matter and let the three of them go back without worry.

After the three of them left, McGonagall came to the principal's office again.
"Albus, must it go on like this? This is simply... simply irresponsible!" McGonagall held the wand in her hand and suppressed her temper.
"Minerva, the little guys are excellent, aren't they? And I've been watching them all the time, let's wait a little longer."
......
Hermione and the other two had no idea how Quirrell's matter was handled in the end.
Anyway, there was no criticism such as the notice, and Quirrell returned to teaching normally.
Since his strength had been exposed, he couldn't continue to read from the book, so he had to really teach something.
After that, everything seemed to have returned to calm.
Except for the occasional pain in Harry's scar during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, nothing else happened.
Unconsciously, the fairytale-like white snow decorated the entire castle.
The first half of the school year ended and Christmas has arrived.
In front of the glass window, Hermione held a feather pen and patiently wrote an explanation letter to her parents.
In the original book, Hermione went home for Christmas in the first year, but not this year.
Because when she was about to fill out the list of people going home, Lu Yuan told her something.
There are still enemies watching outside the school, and those who go home this time will inevitably be checked.
It was not until this moment that Lu Yuan told Hermione about the obscure gaze when he got off the bus at the beginning of the school.
"So are we being targeted?" Hermione said with pursed lips.
[No, the other party has not locked the target yet, but I don't recommend you to leave school at this time. Relatively speaking, Hogwarts is still safe at the moment, and you need to use it to grow quickly! ]
"Then can I go home at the end of the next semester?"
[Of course, but you have to be prepared for a fight. You need to deal with the two puppets staring at us. 】
"Wait, you mean puppets?"
[That's right, those two weren't human at all, they were a kind of alchemical puppets. 】
Hermione's lips moved, but she couldn't ask some questions after all.
And Lu Yuan didn't force her.
Leaving the dormitory and coming to the top floor of the tower, when she saw the owl carrying the letter away, Hermione tightened her scarf and said, "Mr. System, I'm already familiar with the Explosion Spell, can you teach me something more powerful?"
[Yes. 】
After she finished speaking, two streams of knowledge and memory poured into Hermione's brain.
One was an upgraded version of the Explosion Spell, the Level 2 Explosion Spell.
It was a very sloppy name, but the power was doubled, and it was easy to blow up a few rooms.
With the previous experience, Hermione was able to get started easily, and after half a year of tempering brought by the "Magic Source Curse", her bloodline development had reached 26%, equivalent to the development level of a third-year wizard, and her spirit and physique had reached adult strength.
The second memory is called "Magic Fighting Technique", which literally means a set of systematic fighting techniques combined with magic, including long-range attack techniques and close combat techniques.
Lu Yuan's sharing includes some combat experience, but Hermione still needs to practice more.
[Your courage has been trained in the past six months. We will start actual combat practice in the second half of the year. Go to the Room of Requirement tomorrow and I will refine a practice puppet for you. ]
"Is this a Christmas gift?" asked the little witch.
Lu Yuan paused slightly, and he realized that Hermione is only 12 and a half years old now. Not going home for Christmas is the same as not going home for the Spring Festival in the East. It is inevitable that she will feel lonely and homesick.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan said: [No, the Christmas gift will naturally wait until tomorrow morning to let you know. ]
In the snow, Hermione, with a slightly red nose, smiled, "Looking forward to your gift, Mr. System."
[I won't let you down. 】
......
The next day, when the hazy morning light woke Hermione up, the little witch was still a little confused at first, but when she remembered that today was Christmas, she sat up suddenly from the bed.
Almost at the same time, the crisp sound of the piano rang out in the entire empty dormitory.
The song of "Star Tea Party" on Earth sounded for the first time in this time and space.
In a trance, Hermione and her big bed appeared in a world of ice and snow.
Hermione knew that this was an illusion created by Mr. System, so she did not panic, but listened carefully to the catchy song.
At this time, as the beat of the music increased, several bulges began to appear in the snow, and six red-hat snowmen from large to small emerged one by one. Their fat bodies began to twist to the beat, like the first dancers to appear.
Then, the music began to beat harder, and small animals made of ice and snow began to appear, including squirrels, snow rabbits, flying birds, penguins, and bears. They all had one thing in common: they were round.
In the melody of the music, they played, chased, and ran around Hermione on the bed.
But their round bodies always made all kinds of jokes, and in this cheerful atmosphere, Hermione was gradually infected. At this time, the big bed suddenly shook, and in Hermione's surprised eyes, the big bed was like a snow car, galloping in this world of ice and snow.
The surrounding fairy-tale world was gradually outlined, with castles, forests, lakes... The breeze blew the little witch's hair, her bright eyes gradually widened, and her smile began to spread, accompanied by laughter. , all kinds of animals running or rolling around, swarming around.
Just then, the strings in the song began to join in, and the big bed under her carried Hermione through the forest and into the castle, where a very warmly decorated Christmas tree stood there.
When the big bed slowly slowed down, the branches of the Christmas tree also slowly handed over a red gift box.
Hermione took it with both hands, smiling.
The moment I received the gift, the music around me just came to a rest.
The illusions around her disappeared, and Hermione returned to the dormitory, but the gift box in her hand was still there.
【Merry Christmas! Hermione. 】
The little witch's mouth was harder to suppress than AK at this moment. She raised her chin slightly and said with a bit of arrogance: "I thought Mr. System would only let me experience an illusion. Now, I forgive you!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the gift." 】
Here, Hermione couldn't wait to open the gift box, and suddenly a delicate silver pendant floated up.
The pendant is in the shape of a bow, with beautiful patterns on the front, and the back shows Hermione just sitting on the big bed, her hair blowing in the breeze and laughing happily, surrounded by various animals.
Hermione took the pendant in her hand, the joy in her eyes needless to be expressed. She fell in love with this thing at first sight.
At this time, Hermione discovered that there were two relatively simple pendants in the gift box.
Lu Yuan started to explain, "The pendant in your hand has two functions. One is to store things, and the other is to communicate with the two remaining pendants in the gift box. In addition to communicating with each other, those two pendants also have the function of resisting You can give the effect of the attack to your parents, and you can communicate at any time as long as you are still on this planet. 】
After hearing the explanation, the smile on Hermione's face was as bright as ever.
Ever since he knew there was such a crisis, in addition to being afraid, he was also worried about his parents. Now with this gift, many things have been taken initiative. She was happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Thank you, I like it very much! Including that scene, that song, and this gift. Also, Mr. System, Merry Christmas!"
