The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts Chapter 125

Hermione shrugged and had to accept the reality.

She grabbed Tom who was in a daze outside the door, but Tom stood still and didn't move.

"Hermione, Mr. Granger, they're not here..."

Hermione glanced at him, "Do you still want to do weird things?"

Tom: !

"Come in," Hermione dragged Tom, who was hesitant outside the door, in. "It's so pitiful to be homeless on Christmas Eve."

A porch was also built between the Granger's door and the living room. The entrance refers to the space between the main entrance and the main hall. It is a buffer between the outside and the inside of the house. The Granger family has placed a shoe cabinet and a clothes rack here.

"You can wear these." Hermione took out a pair of slippers for Tom from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of Tom. "It's specially prepared for guests, brand new."

"thanks."

Hermione casually hung the trench coat on the hanger, revealing the black tulle top inside.

She leaned against the wall with one hand, raised one foot, put her right hand into the shaft of the boot, took off the boot a little, and when the boot was loose, she grabbed the heel, brushed it, and with the sound of leather and velvet rubbing, The whole boot was taken off by her. The boot shaft, which lost the support of the calf, collapsed at once, turned outward, revealing the leopard-print lining inside, with a trace of residual warmth. Hermione put the boots she had just replaced on the ground and moved her sore feet.

She looked up and saw Tom's black eyes.

"You—" Hermione raised her right hand and turned Tom's face to one side, "Turn your head away!"

"Tom, bad!"

Tom: (?_?)

After making sure Tom lost his vision, Hermione leaned against the wall and took off her other boot. I took out a pair of dog-head slippers from the shoe cabinet, which were slightly different from the ones I wore at Hogwarts. The dog's head at Hogwarts was a Shiba Inu, and the one at home was a Husky.

Hermione put her feet in the dog-head slippers and said, "You can turn your head around."

Tom couldn't help saying after seeing it: "Dogs have very smart noses, you will smoke them..."

Hermione's eyes flashed a dangerous light, and she made a severing gesture to threaten: "If you talk more, I will turn you into a shoehorn and stuff it into the shoe cabinet."

Hermione: o(｀ω′*)o?╰ひ╯

Tom: (￣ω￣;)

The two walked through the living room together and entered the dining room.

The Grangers left a very hearty dinner. Although it was a little cold, it was still delicious when warmed. Mrs. Granger's cooking was so good, it made the Granger's table not so "English".

After Tom and Hermione warmed up the food on the table together, they gathered around the table to enjoy the sumptuous Christmas dinner.

"I really didn't expect Mom and Dad to work on Christmas Eve, but considering it's Uncle Hal, that's understandable." Hermione poured herself a bowl of French fish soup and chatted. The whereabouts of my parents tonight.

"Uncle Hal?" This was the first time Tom heard the name.

"My father's good friends, they have been very good friends since childhood. Uncle Hal has a problem with his teeth. Dad will definitely go to treat him." Hermione remembered that she had never told Tom about this ha Uncle Er, so he began to introduce him to this uncle who has a legendary experience.

"He was a very famous adventurer. He went on adventures around the world with his younger brother Roger when he was young. He later obtained a doctorate in archaeology from Oxford University and is now teaching at the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield."

"He's been to many places: Africa, Antarctica, North Pole, Amazon, South China Sea..." Hermione counted the places Hal Hunt had been to with her fingers crossed.

“From the Amazon to the Pacific, from New Guinea to the Himalayas, from volcanoes to the bottom of the ocean, they went to the sky. They tracked jungle pythons, subdued tropical monitor lizards, captured African white elephants, tracked down killer lions, confronted cannibal tribes, and countless poachers. ..." Hermione's eyes flashed with adventure, "he used to tell me stories of their youth adventures when I was a kid."

"Cool!" Tom was also fascinated, and understood why a girl as smart as Hermione was classified into Gryffindor. The seeds of adventure are sown from childhood.

Hermione rubbed her toes against Tom under the table, "How are you going to spend Christmas?"

Tom: ...

"Actually... I'm going to grade the students' papers for Christmas..."

Tears flowed out.

Tom decided to quit his job this school year because of the work pressure.

Hermione couldn't stop laughing while covering her stomach.

"Actually, your thesis also has a few problems..." Tom said slowly, cutting the steak gracefully with a knife and fork in his hand.

Hermione: !

Now she couldn't laugh anymore. Although she knew that Tom was probably teasing him, she was still a little panicked instinctively.

"what is the problem?"

"You'll know then."

"What's the time!" Hermione kicked Tom. Not to be outdone, Tom fought back, and the two frolicked again...

Life at the Granger family was pleasant. Of course, when the Grangers came back on the first day, Tom was still a little embarrassed, and even wanted to fly away as a phoenix, but he finally stayed behind.

Fortunately, Mr. Granger was very close to him, and during the time he stayed at his home, there was even a feeling that George Joestar took in Dio Brando-Tom became "someone's child", This is also a very rare experience for Hermione:

"Hermione~www.mtlnovel.com~You're in bed again-"

"Hermione, look at Tom, he's studying when he wakes up early..."

Hermione: (((;???;)))

Seeing Hermione's expression, Tom felt that there was a high probability that he would not be invited next year.

The days went by like this, and the Christmas holidays disappeared all of a sudden, as if the holidays never existed. After the Christmas break, the calendar jumped to 1993.

Four months have passed since the battle in the lounge, and life at Hogwarts is back on track. In March, the mandrakes that Professor Sprout had cultivated for nearly half a year held a lively, noisy and dangerous dance party in the third greenhouse.

These mandrakes are nearing maturity, and their cry is deadly.

By the time they want to move to other mandrakes' pots, they are fully mature. At that time, the petrified "Tom" in the ward will be rescued.

With April comes Easter.

There are two major holidays in the Hogwarts school year: Christmas and Easter. Easter is an important festival in the western world. It falls on the first Sunday after the full moon of the vernal equinox every year. Since the day of the vernal equinox is not fixed every year, the specific date of Easter is also uncertain every year.

Easter in 1993 was on April 11, which happened to be a Sunday.
