The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

Just now, the Weasleys felt an inexplicable sense of relief, and they naturally realized that the "Seven Sons' Covenant" was broken.

If Ainishan hadn't shown up yet, the family would have cheered and sang to their heart's content.

But...it's not too late.

"That's great, Ani. I knew nothing would be hard for you."

"Thank you very much, I..."

"..."

The Weasleys stepped forward one by one to express their gratitude to Ernie, and at the same time express their happiness.

Suddenly, there was a roar of joy in the forest.

Although the family sincerely invited Ernie to celebrate together, he had the good sense to leave the space to the Weasleys...

After saying goodbye to everyone, Ani did not teleport directly back to the tree house, but let his feet tap lightly and walked aimlessly through the trees.

The wind blew across his face, and the leaves were waving to him. The little ones passing by were eager to stick to his face, and then reluctantly returned to their original tracks.

Everything that happened in the projection land was replayed over and over again in Ani's mind. Mr. Jin... what kind of existence are you...

He had a hunch that the two of them would meet again.

……

Just when the news of the Yule Ball spread to almost every corner of Hogwarts, Dumbledore confirmed the authority of this rumor.

All of a sudden, the students who were already ready to go became completely restless.

"Fred asked Angelina to be his dance partner in the lounge today..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Hermione covered her mouth and started giggling.

"Angelina didn't agree? Don't they have a good relationship?"

Ani was a little surprised by the girl's reaction. If Fred spoke, Angelina would probably respond generously based on her character.

"Angelina agreed, but when she put her hands on Fred...poof, hahaha..."

Hermione laughed even harder and continued the topic after a while.

"Fred may have forgotten that he was teasing Ron before, and more importantly, he forgot that he was wearing the newly invented color-changing gloves..."

The little witch laughed so hard that Aini couldn't help but smile, thinking that just when the atmosphere was in place, the heroine became colorful. That was really...

"It seems that George and Fred are having a hard time finding a dance partner. I'm afraid neither of them wants a 'surprise' at the dance."

Aini smiled, and her thoughts suddenly turned to Mr. Jin again.

Although the conversation that day was brief, it contained a lot of information. It subverted some of his previous perceptions and also confirmed some of his conjectures.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this - the other party's words are true and credible.

However, after experiencing the information shielding in the Dark Ages, it is difficult to verify its authenticity with the few words passed down in this world.

Perhaps we can only wait until the next time we meet a conscious projection to see if we can get some information.

Thinking of this, Aini touched his pocket. After Mr. Jin dispersed on his own, the repair progress of the golden arrow suddenly increased a lot, but it also consumed a lot of saved energy, which basically meant that it had to be completely recharged.

Another good news is that as the Golden Arrow becomes more complete, it recharges faster and faster.

By late December, almost half the progress was completed.

Winter in Scotland is always freezing. Even though the absolute temperature in the castle is not too low, the little wizards still cover themselves tightly. Almost everyone wears thick scarves to avoid naughty winds. The baby slipped in along the collar, arousing goosebumps.

Even the beauty-loving girls in Beauxbatons are like this. They have long since changed out of their exquisite silk clothes and put on thick robes and cloaks as the locals do. At first glance, they look no different from the little wizards at Hogwarts.

Durmstrang students were indifferent to this, as the climate at Hogwarts was considered warm compared to their own school.

But despite not being bothered by the weather, life was still not easy for the Durmstrangers.

It was not because of them, but because of Karkaroff's performance in the first scoring game, the students of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons were greatly despised, and even the students were looked down upon by a few points.

Even Krum's aura has faded a bit, and there are not so many followers before and behind him.

If they could still endure the usual neglect, as the date of the dance drew closer, most of the Durmstrang boys had to face a problem - dance partners.

Think about the way a bunch of boys sign up to keep warm at a dance...it's almost impossible to look at them.

Fortunately, the dance is only open to students in fourth grade and above, unless someone invites an underclassman to attend.

Finally, some little girls who wanted to join in the fun accepted the invitations from the Durmstrang boys one after another, so that they could still live with their dignity.

When the holidays come, the scene on the Hogsmeade platform is very different from previous years. Almost all senior students have chosen to stay in school. In addition, even if they have not received invitations, some smart junior students have also stayed, making the crowd waiting for the bus The crowd seemed a lot thinner.

——There will be plenty of opportunities to sneak in and play quietly. I think even Professor McGonagall, who is usually very strict, will not care too much that day.

This is also true. Looking at the two second-year girls who had just jumped behind the senior students like little rabbits and tried their best to cover their bodies, Professor McGonagall raised the corners of her mouth and a smile flashed in her eyes.

After standing there for a while, she walked easily to the door of the auditorium.

Ever since she accepted Aini, a student she was extremely proud of, it was like adding an important piece of the puzzle to her life and soul. She was promoted to the Grand Wizard some time ago, and now she is getting younger and younger, and her mentality has improved. A big change.

To be more precise, it should be a return to nature.

After all, as an Animagus, how could he be such a conservative and rigid person?

Professor McGonagall tapped her wand, a misty song sounded in the air, and the huge oak door opened in response, revealing the fantasy world behind.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, and countless small stars rotate continuously, drawing mysterious trajectories.

The soft moonlight shone with the starlight, reflecting every detail in the auditorium.

Walking into it seems not to be indoors, but to be at the intersection of forest and sea. Half of it is beach and half is grass. On the other side of the beach is the sea, and on this side of the grass is the forest.

There are round tables arranged in a ring around it, and a large empty space rises at the junction in the middle, which is today's stage.

Professor McGonagall called the warriors to her side. Fleur looked at the girl who also came alone and asked, "Hermione, where is your dance partner?"

"Where……"

Hermione looked at the man waving to her, her smile blooming like a flower.
