Chapter 115 Lupin, Whom I Haven't Seen for a Long Time (Thanks to "Trooper1770" For the 10,000-Coin Reward)

Throughout December, Rolf took Shirley on a tour of the Forbidden Forest, his backyard.

Along the way, the two saw many magnificent views, but they had to temporarily end this wonderful trip before they finished walking through the Forbidden Forest.

Because... Christmas vacation is coming.

With the arrival of the vacation, the weather is getting colder, the castle is covered with thick snow, and countless icicles hang from the spires, like sparkling crystal spears, making Hogwarts look extremely white.

The atmosphere in the school is also extremely warm, and the joy of Christmas is everywhere.

Hagrid dragged twelve huge gray-green spruces into the castle and placed them in the center of the hall. The trees were decorated with little fairies that kept flapping their wings and flickered with light;

Professor McGonagall dug out a huge block of ice from the Black Lake and used Transfiguration to create ice withers of various shapes. When the spell "Ice withers go" was used, they would jump up and make a creaking sound;

Professor Flitwick taught everyone how to use the fireworks spell in class. As long as you wave your wand, a small firework can be sprayed out from the tip of the wand.

Sirius was even more extravagant. He bought a mile-long firecracker and blew it from morning to night. The whole day was filled with the sound of firecrackers.

No one would say that Christmas was not festive anymore.

Even Snape hid a Knut in the potion in class to celebrate Christmas. Whoever drank it would get a whole year of "blessings".

However, considering that the Knut was dug out by Snape from the dried dragon feces, it was covered with patina... Obviously no one wanted this blessing.

What excited the little wizards the most was that they could take advantage of the last weekend before the Christmas holiday to visit Hogsmeade.

In the morning, sitting in the Thestral carriage, Rolf, Shirley and Hermione all fell asleep at the same time.

Hermione was shocked to see Rolf and Shirley lying there sleeping. She sat up and said:

"Why are you two so sleepy? What did you do last night?"

Rolf yawned with sleepy eyes. He had been running towards the Forbidden Forest with Shirley every night recently. How could he not be sleepy during the day?

He tilted his head and whispered, "I've been studying magical animals in depth recently, and I've been staying up all night."

Hermione said, "Oh," and said with concern, "Then you two should take care of your health."

Shirley curled up her delicate body and lay on her side in the carriage. She rested her head on her arm, opened one eye and closed the other, and said softly:

"Hermione, you have ten classes a day and keep using the time converter. You should take care of your health."

"But it's worth it to take so many classes." Hermione lay back in the carriage.

Rolf slept between the two girls, looking at the roof, and advised:

"It's better to ask Professor McGonagall to take fewer classes. Professor Dumbledore is so powerful, but he didn't choose all the courses. You can't chew too much, so you have to give up what you should give up."

Hermione's brows were tangled together. She really wanted to give up Professor Trelawney's divination class now.

Muggle studies were also boring. Professor Charity Burbage didn't seem to know as much about Muggles as she did.

The most important thing is that using the time converter also increases age. Hermione doesn't want to graduate with Rolf and Shirley still being young and invincible at the age of 18, while she is already an old aunt in her twenties!

The carriage was shaking, and the three of them soon fell asleep together.

Crookshanks, squatting in the corner, looked at Rolf, Shirley and Hermione lying side by side, and couldn't help wrinkling his flat ginger-yellow persimmon face.

Crookshanks also wanted to lie down and sleep, but the space had been occupied by the three people, leaving him with nowhere to rest.

It was obviously such a big carriage, but it didn't deserve to lie down!

Rolf was actually just a light sleep. When the carriage stopped, he opened his eyes, then woke up Shirley and Hermione, and went to the Three Broomsticks together.

They didn't come here to play today, but to meet a friend they hadn't seen for a long time.

After arriving at the Three Broomsticks, Rolf pushed the door open and saw that the business was booming and crowded. 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 beautiful, although she is over 40 years old.

This kind of middle-aged witch is mature and very feminine, so many students in Hogwarts have a crush on her.

In the corner of the bar, Sirius stood up and waved vigorously, saying, "Here, Rolf!"

The three walked to 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 smiled:

"Rolf, Shirley, long time no see, how are you two doing recently?"

"I'm doing well." Rolf smiled and said, "Lupin, you seem to be doing well too, you've gained a lot of weight."

Shirley also smiled and greeted. She went to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania last summer vacation and learned a lot of magic from Lupin with Rolf, so they were very familiar with each other.

Lupin, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was indeed fatter in the face and looked much better than before. He was no longer wearing ragged clothes, but a very decent robe.

Apparently, during the two years he worked at the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve, he saved a lot of money and was no longer as embarrassed as when they first met on the Orient Express.

"Rolf, I still have to apologize to you." Lupin said apologetically, "You helped me find a job, but I quit halfway."

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, even the most insensitive people can find the problem.

Lupin has been making money by doing daily wages and short-term jobs for a long time, but this kind of low-paying job can only ensure that he will not starve to death.

Rolf introduced Lupin to a high-paying job that didn't mind him taking leave every month, but he quit directly.

"Lupin, you are also looking for Peter Pettigrew." Rolf said indifferently: "Besides, you can get the job because of your ability, not because of me... Don't mind it, forget about it."

"That's right, anyway, the two of us already owe Rolf a lot of favors, and we will pay it back slowly in the future." Sirius laughed:

"What do you three little guys want to drink? This is Hogsmeade, you can drink some high-concentration alcohol... some mead first?"

"No." Rolf shook his head and said: "They don't drink well, butter beer will do."

It would be fine if Shirley and Hermione just couldn't drink well, but their drinking habits are not good either.

Last Christmas, at the Hog's Head Pub in Aberforth, the two of them got drunk and dragged Rove to go crazy... The boy still remembers it vividly.

They were completely drunk and did whatever they wanted, and they didn't remember it when they woke up.

If one girl was drunk, Rove could handle it alone, but if both of them were drunk... he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
