As Christmas approached, Hogwarts spread the festive atmosphere all over the castle with the help of pine trees and various magical decorations, as in previous years.

No matter how many people suffer misfortune, as long as someone is still alive, we should always keep more optimistic about the situation.

In fact, even Maka, in his heart, actually wanted to enjoy it. This gradually lively festival atmosphere can really warm people's hearts.

But unfortunately, his joy can only be saved in his stomach for the time being, because Luna can finally bid farewell to the ward.

For the sake of Hogwarts' next safety, he had to go to secret island again. Along with Hermione and Luna.

On the Saturday when the three of them left, something strange and interesting happened.

"Oh - Harry? Why do you get up so early? We practiced until midnight yesterday. Why are you so energetic?"

In the boys' bedroom in the Gryffindor tower, Ron seemed to be awakened by some small noise. He struggled to open his eyelids and felt a tingle in his eyes.

As he said, after the party broke up last night, he and Harry spent a long time in the bedroom with their company - there were too many materials sent by Marca to them!

The lack of sleep time made it difficult for him to open his eyes, and he became a little tearful in a few seconds.

"No, I don't think my spirit is very good... Don't worry about me, you continue to sleep! Today is Saturday."

Harry sat half on the edge of the bed, his hands on the side of the quilt, staring out of the window.

This time, in fact, he was not worried about those things related to darkness, and he was no longer worried about his lack of strength. As for nightmares, or painful scars on his forehead, with the progress of his brain closure, there has long been no trace.

So, what's the matter with yourself?

Harry felt a little confused in his head. He found that he seemed to feel some inexplicable anxiety from time to time recently, as if there was something unfinished that should have been done.

Because the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand it, Harry subconsciously sighed.

"Hey, man!" said Ron, squinting his eyes and tired of lack of sleep. "I don't think you're right. What's the matter? I think I can't afford to sleep. You can't be sleepy. I advise you to say something and don't hold yourself in your heart -"

"No, it's not," Harry waved his hand. "I'm really fine. I just don't feel very secure. I don't know why."

"HMM... really?" Ron winked hard and rubbed the corner of his eye with the sleeve of his pajamas. "Maybe you didn't sleep well? I remember who I heard once that if a person is too tired, he will easily lose sleep. You see, you've been studying these days, haven't you?"

"Well... That sounds reasonable," Harry scratched his scalp hard, then pulled off the quilt and went in. "Then I'll try to sleep a little more..."

The fireplace in the bedroom is still beating flames, making it seem that there are two different worlds inside and outside. This warmth is actually conducive to sleep.

For example, Ron - although he was still a little worried about Harry's state, after staring at Harry's bed for a long time, the endless sleepiness pulled him to sleep again.

However, Harry, who was tucked in the quilt, kept his eyes wide open. After he tried again, he finally sat up suddenly.

"... no, I can't sleep at all."

In order to prevent Ron from waking up again, Harry turned over carefully and got out of bed. After learning that he had put on his thick robe, he crept out of the bedroom door.

As soon as he arrived outside the bedroom, he was immediately wrapped in the sudden drop in temperature, which made him shiver. After pulling his scarf hard, he walked to the common room with a bunch of white fog and his neck.

It is really rare for students to get up early in the morning on such a cold day, but also on weekends. Although the sun had already jumped over the top of the mountain in the East, Harry didn't see half a person all the way.

Of course, if you really see "half" people, it's scary!

After a few glances around the deserted common room, Harry simply decided to take a walk outside the castle. When he came back, he was expected to go directly to the auditorium for breakfast.

As soon as he got outside, Harry immediately found that the snow on the ground had thickened again. It seemed that the heavy snow last night might not stop until near dawn.

The soft snow crunched on it, making people want to step on it more.

Harry didn't know where to go for a walk - to be honest, he had a little regret. The temperature outside was lower than he thought, and soon his ears were red with cold.

But now that you have come out, you'd better take two steps! If you turn around and go back, you'll only make yourself feel stupid.

However, when Harry wandered aimlessly for a while, he found himself inadvertently in front of the gate of the West Tower.

Just as Harry raised his neck and looked blankly at the owl shed at the top of the tower, he suddenly vaguely understood what he was worried about.

"Oh... Autumn."

He whispered the name, but then there was a fever behind his ears.

He thought he knew that the gentle and beautiful girl with black hair had a favorite, so he shouldn't think about it any more. He still remembers that during the last year's top three cup, the other party seemed to have started dating Cedric Diggory of hutchpatch.

Cedric is a nice guy and friendly to everyone. But at the same time, the big boy is obviously more mature and popular than himself.

To tell you the truth, he and Qiu really fit together - they are all very eye-catching excellent students.

But

"Autumn and Cedric... Have they settled the relationship?"

Harry felt he couldn't keep himself from thinking so, because he didn't know it yet, so he unconsciously hoped that the answer would stay on a smaller possibility.

"... should I go to her for confirmation?" he couldn't help saying to himself, "or should I ask someone else first?"

As soon as the idea jumped out of his head, he found himself a little uncontrollable. Before long, he turned around and walked quickly to the main castle.

It must not be possible to ask Ron, because Harry felt his cheek burning just by imagining it. But it seems even harder to say if you choose someone other than Ron.

After all, Harry had this feeling for the first time. It was green and clumsy, as if he would tie his tongue if he spoke to others.

He stood in the hall, staring at the Christmas trees on both sides of the dressing point. With such hesitation, the time passed in a hurry.

There are more and more little wizards coming and going in the hall. Most of them have just come out of the bedroom and are going to the auditorium in twos and threes.

"You have to ask who... You have to ask who..."

Harry pretended to appreciate the trinkets on the Christmas tree, even if he didn't find out that he had been in front of the same Christmas tree for an hour!

"... find anyone? Anyone... No, you have to find Ravenclaw... Why are you all together? It's best to find someone who is alone... Well, boys are not suitable? Autumn is so popular that they don't necessarily tell the truth... They have to find a girl who is alone..."

Every time he looks at someone, a negative reason will appear in his heart.

With the passage of time, bit by bit, when he moved his eyes to the "next target" again, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qiu's figure on the other side of the stairs.

"Oh - it's like she's always with friends," Harry groaned. "No, she should be so popular that she always has friends around. But in that case... Ah!"

Suddenly, Harry seemed to realize something at last and was stunned.

"Even if I summoned up the courage to ask her directly, how should I ask her?" Harry said with half open mouth and an embarrassed expression. "Just ask, 'are you with Cedric already?' doesn't she understand it all at once? It must... It must be a little euphemistic..."

"Oh - Good morning, Harry!"

While he was thinking about how to speak, Qiu and her good friends had come to the corridor not far from here.

Qiu is also a member of R.A. although they hardly talked during the training activities, their relationship is obviously enough for Qiu to take the initiative to say hello.

"Ah! Yes, yes," said harriton, but then he was a little flustered. "Good morning! Well, that's right!"

"Well," Qiu looked at the Christmas tree in front of Harry, and then smiled gently, "it's Christmas again. How time flies! I feel that graduation is near..."

"Oh, yes..." Harry answered vaguely, but he couldn't calm down at all. "No, I mean... We have to cherish every day and everyone, right?"

"You're right." Qiu nodded. "Won't you go? Have you had breakfast?"

"Yes... No, no! I... I'll go in a minute..."

When Harry said that, Qiu didn't care. She just nodded again, said goodbye to Harry, and went across the hall with her friends.

"... look at him, dull..." when the girls left together, they laughed with another Ravenclaw girl next to Qiu and whispered to their companions.

But just then, Harry seemed to have just awakened and took a few quick steps there.
