[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

Chapter 120 Christmas Chapter

On Christmas morning, Alice was woken up by a fur ball.

"Fortunately, your weight is under control." Pulling down the little chubby cat on her chest, Alice rolled twice on the soft bed before getting up.

If it was school time, she would wake up naturally without anyone calling her.Sure enough, she was slack, she patted her cheek, and forced herself to wake up quickly.

Not even close, Alice told herself.During this time she found new purpose in herbalism.

After the petrification incident, Filch's face remained gloomy, not because of Mrs. Norris but because he could no longer hide his identity as a Squib.

Although most of the students don't like Filch, and Alice also thinks his punishment method is extreme, but the relationship between her and Filch has always been good. Si didn't have any ill feeling towards him, and she couldn't bear the students' ridicule towards him.

Moreover, Alice thinks that Filch's extreme character is due to his status as a squib.So to Filch, to the Squib group, she hopes to give some help to the best of her ability, even if it is very difficult, even if it may not be successful.

"Meow~" Fuqiu's soft cry brought Alice back to reality.

Opening the curtains, she was delighted to find that the snow on the ground was several feet deep.She was a little disappointed with the clear sky a few days ago, she didn't expect to receive a surprise in the morning.Christmas is only complete with snow.

"Did you run out to play again?" She turned her head and found that the fur ball had got under the bed at some point.

Fuqiu didn't answer, but just rubbed his head against the pink lace-trimmed pillow, as if he wanted to sleep again.This is what Alice discovered recently. It is obviously a male cat. Furball puts his own blue cat litter aside, but he has a soft spot for all kinds of pink.

But wake her up and start to catch up on sleep?Alice waved her wand, and the fireplace that had barely been burning all night was completely extinguished.

The cold atmosphere gradually permeated the whole room, and Alice couldn't help shivering.

I don't know if it's because of the design or the house is too old. This house is always not very warm.Fortunately, summer can be regarded as cool.Once autumn comes, it is impossible to live without burning the fireplace.

We must find an opportunity to get Severus to agree to renovate the house as a whole.At least change the orientation so that the sun is visible to the main rooms.

"Meow!" The furball realized something was wrong, and got out of the bed with fried fur.

"Christmas, you can't sleep late." Alice ran downstairs excitedly after leaving this sentence.

After quickly finishing washing in 10 minutes, she excitedly walked under the huge Christmas tree in the living room.

Every Christmas, the most anticipated part is often the unwrapping of presents.In recent years, Alice has received more and more gifts because she has contacted more people, and she is looking forward to this session more and more.

"Meow meow!" Fuqiu followed to the living room, called out to Alice a few times, and when she saw that she didn't respond, she threw herself into the pile of presents excitedly.

In fact, the gifts received this year are still from those people, but there are more students.Like Hermione, Harry, Ron, and her support club members who came out of nowhere.

But to Alice's relief, most of them chose to give candies, maybe because they knew that she likes sweets?

A ball of snow suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, it was a hair ball.

It was biting a ball of pink wool, wagging its tail, and circling around Alice's feet, and then the whole cat lay on the ground, showing its belly to her, obviously very fond of balls of wool.

"Fireproof, waterproof, and anti-theft." Alice rubbed the furball's stomach, "Merlin wouldn't cast so many spells on a ball of wool. So you must help me fix the cat language translator."

Harry's Snake Talk recording went smoothly, and it will definitely be completed within this year.As for the cat language translator, she originally planned to trouble Professor McGonagall, but thinking that Professor McGonagall is both the vice-principal and the dean, and has to teach, it is really busy.

If Alice appeared at this time and said to her: "Professor McGonagall, can you turn into a cat and record some cat language for me?" It would be too inappropriate.So after much deliberation, Alice decided on her magical creature cat with a very high IQ who could only read books and newspapers.

"Meow~" Fuqiu nodded briskly, holding the woolen ball and having fun in the living room.

Here, Alice squatted to unwrap the presents, but her brows became more and more wrinkled as she unwrapped them.

No, no, still no.After unwrapping the last gift, she couldn't bear it and stood up abruptly.

"Meow?" Fuqiu carefully hid the pink wool ball in his blue cat litter, then ran to Alice in doubt.Even if it is as smart as it, it can't imagine why the owner who was cheerful just now is suddenly unhappy.

Without delay Alice went to the fireplace.

"Meow!" Before Alice sprinkled Floo powder, the fur ball also rushed in.

……

Seeing Alice coming out of the fireplace angrily, Snape looked calm: "I have told Dumbledore about the situation of Ginny Weasley you reported, and he is already looking into it."

It's business, Alice can only reply honestly: "Oh, is it? That's good. Any clues?"

Knowing the Weasleys, she didn't believe that Ginny would follow Voldemort.There is a high probability that Ginny was bewitched or controlled?Alice wasn't sure which it was.But because of this, she felt that it was very easy for Dumbledore to find out the truth, since Ginny was still a child after all.

"He should have guessed, but he is just confirming."

"I hope as soon as possible." Alice sighed, "The pressure on the headmaster is really too great."

In her opinion, the principal is powerful and a great white wizard, but he is also an old man over 100 years old.At such an advanced age, it is too difficult to not only manage Hogwarts, but also worry about the safety of the entire wizarding world.

"Meow!" Fuqiu slowly walked out from behind Alice, and inspected his second territory with his head held high.

Seeing this scene, Snape asked, "Why did you bring the furball?"

"What?" Alice raised her eyebrows and choked back, "Are you worried that Fuqiu and Mrs. Norris will have a kitten?"

"Meow! Meow, meow!" Maoqiu turned back in disbelief, and retorted excitedly in cat language.Mrs. Norris is a bit old for it.

"That's something Filch should worry about," Snape replied.

Alice was choked and stopped talking, but sat on the sofa angrily.

Snape didn't care, and started to correct the paper in his hand.According to the writing strength and the number of words in the comments, the score of this paper should not be too high.

Look left and right, Fuqiu doesn't care who he chooses, and lazily takes a nap in front of the fireplace.

Today, the fire in the fireplace was extremely hot. Looking at the raging flames and feeling the warmth on her body, Alice felt more and more wronged.

After holding back for a long time, she still couldn't hold back, she turned her head and asked, "Did you receive my Christmas present?"

"Well, the herb collection box in the Norwegian forest contains many herbs that I have never seen before, which are of great help to my research on potions."

"And then?" Alice raised the volume, "Where is my gift?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she stood up directly: "Do you know that it is impolite not to return a Christmas gift..."

"The third bottle in the first row of the first level of the potions cabinet."

The output of passion was interrupted, Alice blushed, and took several deep breaths before barely suppressing her anger.

"You'd better not be perfunctory to me." Saying this, she quickly walked to the potion cabinet, and through the glass, she clearly saw the first layer of conspicuous dark green potion.

"Improve hair quality." Snape added without looking up, and then asked, "I don't think this is perfunctory?"

"Well, it's really not perfunctory." Alice took out the potion, and happily stroked the pattern on the bottle a few times.

But although happy, this matter is not so easy to pass.

"Why didn't you give it away last night? If I didn't ask you for it, wouldn't you have given it?" Alice grasped the point keenly without being dazzled by mere potions.

"Because it needs to be boiled for a long time, it was boiled this morning."

"Then why don't you stay up a few days earlier?"

"Because it wasn't developed well before." Snape explained.

There didn't seem to be any loopholes in this statement, but Alice still found the problem: "Then what if you haven't developed it? Are you just going to send something perfunctorily?"

Snape put down the quill with a headache: "There are not so many ifs."

Alice narrowed her eyes, and her intuition told her that something was wrong with the whole thing.

"You did it on purpose."

"..."

"Did you mean it?" she asked again, louder.

"Why do you think that?" Snape asked.

This is undoubtedly an admission in disguise.

"Severus Snape! Do you think it's fun to see me angry?" Alice walked to the desk and slammed the potion on the table.

The fur ball in front of the fireplace was startled by the sound of slapping the table, looked up dimly, glanced at the two and fell asleep again.

"It's not because of this." Snape pondered for a while, "I just found that you have become more and more courageous recently, such as calling me by my full name?"

As for the development speed of the potion, he can predict roughly, so this potion was indeed developed only a few days ago.But it was last night that it was really cooked.One was that it was too late, and the other was that Alice had been considered lawless recently, so he didn't send out the potion for the time being.

As if the pause button had been pressed, Alice froze in place.

"Isn't this because we are already colleagues? Then because Severus was used to barking, he started talking nonsense when he got emotional." After a long while, she explained in a low voice.

Snape watched her silently.

Fortunately, the chiming bell that rang suddenly broke the embarrassment of the room.

"I didn't eat breakfast, I'm so hungry." Alice said pitifully, clutching her stomach.

Reluctantly getting up, Snape pointed to the sleeping furball: "You're not even as obedient as it is."
