While students and teaching assistants were busy fighting wits and courage in the Black Magic Defense class, the full time after school started quietly passed, and Halloween was soon ushered in at the end of October.

The 1990 school year was relatively stable, and there were no so many magnificent events after admission to the Iron Triangle.

However, there are still newborns who are willing to die and do not believe in evil. On the occasion of Halloween, some young wizards bravely went to the ghosts' death party together.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the result. From their pale face when they came back, we can see how they experienced the death party.

During Halloween, in order to create an atmosphere, there will be a large number of magic bats coming and going in the auditorium in Hogwarts.

Xin Sheng sat at Ravenclaw's long table, and handed a cup of hot cocoa to the pale little witch in front of him with laughter and cry.

"What are you thinking about? The death party, as the name suggests, is the day when ghosts commemorate their deaths. How could it be interesting for living people?"

The little witch sitting in front of Xin Sheng is Qiu Zhang, the only Asian freshman this year. According to the customs of Orientals, it should be read as Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu is the daughter of a Chinese-American couple, her mother is a wizard and her father is a Muggle.

Due to Xin Sheng's eastern side, Zhang Qiu, the second-generation immigrant, had a sense of innateness to him in this school full of Westerners.

After all, he is a fellow villager, so Xin Sheng doesn't mind giving Zhang Qiu some extra care in his daily life.

After drinking a glass of warm cocoa, Zhang Qiu's face finally recovered. She smiled bitterly and complained: "The students in Gryffindor said this would be interesting, and it just so happened that this is also an opportunity for me to study the ghost ecology up close."

"I didn't expect that the atmosphere of the party where a large number of ghosts gathered would be so gloomy, and the food they put out...don't beep~"

Thinking of the ghost's food, Zhang Qiu subconsciously covered his mouth and retching.

In order to divert Zhang Qiu's attention, Xin Sheng deliberately joked: "Do you need to go to the toilet? I'll let Natiya accompany you."

Zhang Qiu rolled his eyes in anger: "No, I'm just a little disgusting."

With the company of the three, Zhang Qiu gradually returned to peace.

"Professor, do you have any plans for Christmas? My parents want to meet you, fellow villager."

This is a common thinking among Chinese people. Parents look for opportunities to meet teachers and entrust teachers to take care of their children at school.

“Christmas…”

Xin Sheng was not resistant to Zhang Qiu's invitation, but he had already planned the Christmas itinerary in advance.

"I'm afraid it's hard to take time out. I have to go to London to visit an old friend first, and I have to go to Diagon Alley to buy some things, and then go to Wales to grab a few 'textbooks' and come back."

Zhang Qiu's mouth twitched: 'Come again...'

Although the parents asked Zhang Qiu to send an invitation, due to the child's nature, Zhang Qiu did not want the professor to join the parents, which would make him recall some unpleasant memories of elementary school.

When Zhang Qiu learned that Xin Sheng had something to do, he did not persuade him again and took advantage of the situation to reveal the topic.

"By the way, professor."

Suddenly remembering something, Zhang Qiu asked embarrassedly: "Can you give me permission to go to the forbidden book area? I have something to verify."

"Um……"

Xin Sheng looked at Zhang Qiu with amber eyes straight at him.

Although her eyes were a little nervous, she did not seem to be guilty or panic, which should be for legitimate reasons.

"Yes, but you have to assure me that you only read the books you need and do not randomly read other books in the forbidden book area."

Xin Sheng reminded seriously: "There are many dangerous and aggressive books in the forbidden book area. You'd better go in and read them in with Mrs. Pins and don't make any decisions."

Xin Sheng’s teaching method is very unrestrained. Since he has been complained many times from parents, he still insists on not changing it.

Since he showed such a serious expression, it means that there is indeed danger hidden in the forbidden book area.

Zhang Qiu nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will definitely be more careful."

Zhang Qiu is a student of Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor, who likes to commit suicide. Xin Sheng believed that she had enough self-control and immediately wrote a approval note and handed it over to her.

Watching Zhang Qiu jumping away, Natiya said with some emotion: "It turns out that the happiest child of this age is, innocent and carefree."

"When they get a few years older, all kinds of troubles will come to you one after another."

Xili asked quippedly, “For example, in love?”

"In love~"

Natiya curled her lips and turned her eyes to Xin Sheng, and delivered the autumn spinach without any concealment.

"Cough~"

Xin Sheng coughed awkwardly: "Let's discuss the itinerary for Christmas."

"Tsk~ no ghast."

...

It’s not that Xin Sheng suddenly changed his career as a vegetarian, nor that he really planned to keep his body as jade for Angelica.

It was just because Xin Sheng and Natiya were too familiar with each other, but he was a little unable to do it.

There is a saying that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. To overcome this psychological barrier is not as easy as Xin Sheng originally thought, so he can only make a long-term plan.

After Halloween, the Christmas holiday will soon arrive as scheduled.

Students, including the Zhang Qiu and Weasley brothers, boarded the Hogwarts train and went home to celebrate the festival, and only a few students stayed in the school.

Xin Sheng had already planned his itinerary. After saying hello to Dumbledore, he and Natiya went to Hogsmeade with him and used Floor fans to transfer to London.

As for Cili, she plans to stay in school during the holidays and work harder to complete the transformation of Animagus with the assistance of Professor McGonagall.

“Merry Christmas, Siris, Harry.”

Because he obtained Sirius' permission in advance, Xin Sheng and Natiya came to Black's house directly through Floor.com.

Harry was sitting on the sofa reading a magic book, his left hand subconsciously waving in the air, as if he was practicing spell casting.

However, since Harry has not purchased a wand, his casting is theoretically the only way to cast a wand. A young wizard of this age is far from being able to cast a wand without a wand.

This was Sirius' consideration. He was worried that Harry, who had been exposed to magic for the first time, would hurt himself when practicing spells alone, so he decided to wait until he received a notice from Hogwarts next year before officially buying a wand for him.

Giving gifts on Christmas is a custom in Western culture. Xin Sheng prepared Harry's latest 2,000 magic broom, and bought a magical version of the automatic razor for Sirius, so that he could take care of his messy beard.

Natiya, who met for the first time, bought a lot of candies for Harry, which was so large that Xin Sheng was speechless.

These magically-held candies are enough for Harry to eat for a whole year.

Because he was not familiar with Sirius, Natiya adopted Xin Sheng's suggestion and bought a high-end custom suit for Sirius with automatic cleaning capabilities.

Anyway, both of them are not short of money.

Harry looked at Xin Sheng and Natiya in surprise, which suddenly appeared from the fireplace. This was the first time he had received a Christmas gift in his life.

"Xin..." Sirius spread his hands helplessly to Xin Sheng: "You give the magic broom first, what will I give to Harry next Christmas?"

Xin Sheng smiled wickedly and came up with a bad idea: "Continue to give the broom? Anyway, there will be the latest version every year."

Harry inherited the talent of his father James and was born with extremely high talent in the wizarding sport of Quidditch. Xin Sheng believed that giving a broom is the most suitable.

"Yeah~"

Xin Sheng was just a joke, but he didn't expect Sirius to be seriously considering this suggestion.

Although Clicche, the homely elf of the Black family, is old and stupid, he has not forgotten the extravagance that the Black family is best at.

After enjoying a hearty Christmas dinner with Harry and Sirius, Xin Sheng and Natiya, who were also in the important matters, embarked on their journey again.

"Be vigilant, the next action is the key."

Xin Sheng took out the key prop he borrowed from Dumbledore from the space ring - the Invisible Clothes.
