Hogwarts, where the stars shine

It was finally holiday, and a silence as thick as the snow on the ground enveloped the entire castle.

There are no more classmates who look at people through their nostrils, no more neurotic Adjani, and no more annoying campus attacks. All the noise has quieted down as the students left.

Mesa didn't feel dull at all, but rather peaceful.It would have been even better if Gascoigne hadn't stayed in school.

Every time he came in and out of the common room, Mesa could see the tall prefect beside the fireplace, as if he had been buried there and had already taken root.

According to Gascoigne himself, he chose to stay at school for the holidays this year simply because, as a prefect, he had a responsibility to support teachers during this turbulent period.

Mesa didn't believe this. Gascoigne didn't look like such a selfless person.There must be a special purpose for staying in school, but he didn't tell the truth.

Christmas dawn has arrived, the weather is cold, the castle is white outside, and the Slytherin dungeons are green.

Early that morning, Mesa was woken up by Gascoigne.He was fully dressed, leaning against the door and looking at Mesa with a smile on his face.

If a girl woke him up from his sleep, Mesa would not be too resentful, but the person who woke him up was Gascoigne, and it was difficult for Mesa not to glare at her.

Even Undina Adjani will do!Although this senior Adjani looks crazy, at least she is good-looking!That kind of beauty on the edge of despair and collapse is really rare!

"Give me a reason, dear Prefect Gascoigne." Mesa rubbed his messy hair, "Otherwise, only one of us will be able to walk out of the common room alive later."

With a haircut like a chicken coop and sleepy eyes, even if Mesa issued a death threat, it really had no deterrent effect and was completely ignored by Gascoigne.

"Get up quickly, I have something I want to talk to you about." Gascoigne said. He took out a small box from his robe pocket and threw it to Mesa on the bed.

"What is this?" Mesa subconsciously reached out to catch the flying box, held it to his ear and shook it.

"Think of it as my Christmas gift to you," Gascoigne said. "If you have to wash up or open the gift, please hurry up. I really want to have a good chat with you."

With that said, Gascoigne left the dormitory, leaving Mesa alone in a mess.

Mesa ruffled his hair even more. He could guess what Gascoigne wanted to talk about.

Opening the box in his hand, Gascoigne's gift was not very valuable, just a badge.The copper badge is shaped like a shield, silver and green, with the main body being a rune snake.

The rune snake is a three-headed snake native to the small African country of Burkina Faso. It is six to seven feet long and has an orange body with black stripes.In the runic alphabet, the three-headed rune snake represents the number three.

According to Parseltongue texts, each of the three heads of this magical creature served a different purpose.

The head on the left is a planner, it will decide where the runes should go and what they will do next; the head in the middle is a dreamer, often indulged in brilliant visions and fantasies; the head on the right is a critic, it His teeth are extremely poisonous and he always criticizes the behavior of the left and middle heads.

If you see a rune snake with only two heads, the left and center must have teamed up to bite off the right head.Precisely because the three heads attack each other, rune snakes usually have a short lifespan.

Playing with the rune snake badge in his hand, Mesa felt that this badge was unlucky.

I don’t know what Gascoigne and his small group were thinking, but they actually chose the rune snake as their emblem.

Putting the copper badge aside, Mesa began to unpack the gifts piled on the corner of the bed.Mesa had few friends, so the Christmas gifts he received were meager.

Tonks gave a box of Zuko's joke products, which was very typical of her style; her cousin Andromeda gave her a set of winter clothes, which was thoughtful and practical; Sean gave her a gift package of snacks, and since she was assigned to Hutch At Patch Academy, the little fat man had forgotten his weight loss plan; there was also a gift from Lilia, a pair of dragon skin gloves and a photo from the vacation.

Wizards' photos are different from Muggles' photos. After the photos taken by wizards are specially processed, the characters on them can move, just like an animated picture.

It can be seen that Lilia is very happy to go to the southern hemisphere to bask in the sun. Her smile is bright and her steps are much lighter.

Mesa thought that when he got here, he would have finished opening the Christmas gifts he received, but what he didn't expect was that there were two more gifts.One of them was from Miss Penello Crevat.

A large box full of chocolate frogs can be said to be an unoriginal gift, but it is a good signal, especially after the two parties became strangers at the end of the semester.

It can be seen that Penello has no intention of completely breaking off from Mesa, and the two have returned to the relationship of ordinary friends.

It was a good second start, and it was a gift that Mesa lingered around the Owlery for a long time before finally deciding to give.

In order to prepare Christmas gifts, Mesa lost no idea how many hairs he had, which also took up his precious spare time.There was simply not enough classroom time in the History of Magic class.

Professor Binns is a leading scholar on the history of magic, but he is really not suitable for teaching students.

The bloody goblin rebellion can obviously be told in a colorful way, but in Professor Binns' mouth, it is told in a straightforward manner, without any ups and downs at all.Cause-process-result, that's the end of the story about the goblin rebellion.

Mesa reached out and picked up the last gift. It was so light that it felt like a thin booklet.There is no signature or any special mark. It is impossible to tell who sent it.

I carefully opened the outer packaging and found a very thin diary inside.

Since Mesa had heard of the curse called The Wizarding Sonnet, he took his wand and examined it carefully.

"The secret appears!"

The tip of the ebony stick hit the cover of the diary. The diary trembled and then calmed down. Nothing strange happened.

In order to ensure safety and that it was not sent by some bastard who had a grudge against him, Mesa tried several more times, but the result was the same.The diary trembled three times, and then entered the sage time motionlessly.

Lifting the cover with the tip of his wand, Mesa began to look through the diary, trying to see if there was anything written in it and whether he could find out who the "gift" was.

It doesn't matter if you don't turn it over, you will be startled if you turn it over.

Mesa almost thought it was a curse sent by someone, or a Christmas prank.

Each page of the thin diary is filled with words that look like ghost drawings. The letters that make up the same word are all different sizes, let alone the words that make up a sentence.

If you want to say these words are runes, runes don't look like this; if you want to say these words are English, there are a lot of spelling errors and grammatical errors; if you want to say these words are other languages, Mesa doesn't know that many foreign languages.

Mesa has already left Asia and joined Europe, so why do we still need to learn a foreign language?Isn’t this all for nothing!

The diary was very thin, and it didn't take Mesa long to flip through it from beginning to end. After reading it carefully twice, Mesa could basically conclude that this diary was written in English, and there were no mistakes or omissions. Excellent English.

It's like someone wrote it while half asleep.Because the overall feeling of this diary is like the class notes taken by Mesa when she was in school in her previous life.

To be precise, it is the class notes written while dozing off. It is a kind of unconscious writing and drawing. The content is basically unrecognizable, and I can't even understand what I wrote.

This diary, presented as a Christmas gift, feels like that.Is it like the owner of the diary wrote it unconsciously, or is it some kind of signal sent by the subconscious?

To understand its contents, the workload is no less than deciphering the enemy's code book during wartime.Mesa needs to recover misspelled words, adjust the order of words according to grammar, and guess words that have been swallowed up by ink dots...

In short, Mesa felt that after he translated all the contents in the diary, his black hair would basically be lost.

After taking a look at the garbled diary in his hand, Mesa threw it to the ground bitterly, stepped on it again, and then went to wash up with his head held high.
