Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 131, Christmas



The Slytherin House common room always gives people the feeling of a mysterious underwater shipwreck.The water outside the window is surging, and occasionally you can see giant squid passing by, and sometimes you can see more interesting creatures.

The two people who had just fought sat on the floor in front of the beautifully carved fireplace, their young faces flushed by the warm firelight.Accompanied by the crackling of the flames, they chatted.

The floor of the common room is covered with thick carpet, which is very comfortable to walk on and comfortable to sit on.It can not only isolate the cold air from the ground, but also play a decorative role.

Fortunately, neither of them had an out-of-the-box personality, so they didn't talk about the uterus from outer space.

"Why did you choose the rune snake as the emblem in the first place?" Mesa asked, "Is it because it has three heads?"

Because the rune snake has three heads with different divisions of labor, this magical creature often has a special meaning.Just like a famous magical zoologist, he once used a rune snake to express his love.If that can be considered a confession.

"Almost. Three heads, just like the magical world we live in." Paul Gascoigne gestured casually, his movements funny.This was very different from his usual seriousness. Suddenly the burden was lifted, and he felt relaxed all over.

The rune snake has three heads, which can represent the three types of wizards in the magical world.

The left side of the head, as the planner, refers to those visionary wizards and more enlightened wizard families.They are able to see the crisis in the wizarding world, and while being tolerant and accepting of their fellow wizards, they are also tolerant and peaceful towards Muggles.

As the middle head of the dreamers, it refers to the general public in the magical world, as well as the mediocre Ministry of Magic.They cling to old ideas and follow everyone else's opinions without any opinion. They dare not open their eyes to see the world, unaware that the outside world has already changed.

The remaining critics on the right refer to wizards who are narrow-minded and prejudiced.Most of these people are pure-blood families. They despise those with unclean blood, and even choose the most extreme way to "purify" the magical world - war.

But no matter whether it is Voldemort, who holds high the banner of pure blood to eradicate dissidents, or the pure-blood family who claims to be "eternally pure", they are still unable to conceal the fact that wizards are declining, and they are unable to stop the trend of the wizard's bloodline being diluted.

Compared with the rapidly changing Muggle society next door, the stagnant magical world has not changed for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is turning back the clock on history.

A snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings.In order to restore the declining decline of the magic world, the three heads must put aside their past grudges and work together.Or like a real rune snake.

Playing with the copper badge in his hand, the rune snake may not be the best choice, but it is more suitable.

Mesa wonders if the students at the time had such an extreme idea when making their choices. Since it is impossible to eliminate thousands of years of discrimination, then eliminate those who discriminate against others.

Thinking about it, there shouldn't be. This is contrary to their original intention, but it is somewhat similar to Voldemort's horrific behavior.

Either win the war and lead the magic world to make great strides forward; or lose this revolutionary war and accelerate the demise of the magic world.

"What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it," Gascoigne said. "You're not still thinking about why you chose the Rune Snake, are you?"

Looking at the crackling flames in the fireplace, Mesa said: "Yeah, I think this choice is quite appropriate. If we can't coexist, then join forces with the middle head and bite off the right head together."

The rune snakes that kill each other usually don't live long, although the right side of their heads is missing.

"What a dangerous idea!" Gascoigne sighed. "Perhaps everyone just thought that the runes were snakes, so they decided on the style of the badge. After all, we are all Slytherins, and we can't have a threesome. Come out, the alpha dog!”

Hearing this, Mesa was stunned.

If Gascoigne hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that this was a student group, and its members were all Slytherin students.

"Do you regret proposing a duel now?" Mesa asked with a smile, "After hearing such a dangerous idea from me."

Gascoigne changed his relaxed look and asked seriously: "Mesa, do you know what my favorite entertainment is?"

This... Mesa really doesn't know, he knows very little about wizards' entertainment activities.

Mesa’s daily life is either enriching himself or waving a magic wand.Mesa is even getting into ancient runes for an elective course next school year.

"Let me think about it...Quidditch? Gobstone?" Mesa asked uncertainly, "You can't be as fond of ten-pin rolling as Dumbledore, right?"

The game of Ten Pin Rolling is somewhat similar to Muggle bowling.According to the Chocolate Frog Pictures, this was one of Dumbledore's hobbies.

"No, I like backgammon," Gascoigne said. "Although there is a lot of luck involved, strategy and technology are equally indispensable. No matter what is missing, you cannot let your pieces win."

Backgammon is similar to backgammon.It is a chess game played on a chessboard or table. Each player has fifteen chess pieces, and the number of moves is determined by rolling two dice.

Gascoigne mentioned this kind of chess game not to discuss his chess skills with Mesa, but to express his attitude.Paul Gascoigne admits that he is a gambler, but life is like chess and he has no regrets about his moves.

"I'll teach you how to play backgammon another day," Gascoigne said. "I'm the best in my family. Do you understand, champion?"

Is there any essential difference between this and NMG Autonomous Region-KEQZYHQ-Ganqika Town-Mandou Village, Golden Hulu Cup Children’s Latin Dance Amateur Group Gold Award?

Mesa expressed deep doubts about the value of this backgammon champion.

"Okay, I also want to try my luck." Mesa said, "Luck is also a part of strength."

Luck is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.Luck is everywhere in life, even wizard duels sometimes involve luck.

Of course, not all magic is affected by luck. Powerful black magic such as the Death Curse and the Fire Curse completely ignore luck.Clinging to death, encountering death, there is no chance of struggle.

Oh, except for the Boy Who Lived.At the age of one year old, Mesa achieved the legendary achievement of "meeting Avada on the face", even if he wanted to accept it.

Later that day, Mesa attended Hogwarts' Christmas dinner with Gascoigne.

Mesa is still not used to calling Gascoigne by his name, which always reminds him of Brother 58 on the other side of the ocean, and the cannon warning on the court.Although Brother Pao was only four years old at this time.

In the majestic auditorium, there are not only a dozen Christmas trees covered with silver frost, and thick ribbons composed of mistletoe and holly crisscrossing the ceiling, but also enchanted snow, which is warm and dry. , falling gently from the ceiling.

All the students who chose to stay in school ate with gusto. Festivals always make people forget a lot of their worries.A saying about the Chinese New Year has saved many children from a severe beating.

Dumbledore was still very easy-going, as friendly as the old man next door; Hagrid poured down glass after glass of eggnog. Although he didn't drink as much as he did this year, he still drank happily; Miko was also enjoying himself Professor Erson, who is usually meticulous, actually sang Christmas carols with a red face...

Snow is falling outside the castle, a typical Scottish winter; inside the castle there is laughter and laughter, celebrating the most important festival of the year.

Mesa looked out the window at the slowly falling snowflakes, looked at the snow-covered field, and ate his fourth Christmas pudding.The cold and long winter will eventually pass, and Mesa is looking forward to the arrival of warm spring.

The red-faced Mikkelsen was still singing, and Hagrid was beating the beat with his palms as big as cattail fans... Professor Mikkelsen's singing voice was not moving, and Hagrid's rhythm was also very confusing, but the lyrics were really good!

As long as the people in the carol are kind and kind, and do good deeds, they will be able to obtain endless happiness.Maybe this is how the world should be.
