Chapter 109 It's Not Christmas Alone
Facing Professor Snape's completely different melancholy temperament, Augustus didn't say anything, after all, as one of the insiders.
Augustus understood better than anyone else what exactly Professor Snape was melancholy about. This kind of melancholy cannot be resolved, or the person who can resolve it has not yet returned to this world.
After all the students were seated, Dumbledore stood up, left his seat, and came to the headmaster's podium.
Started to perform the few tasks that he was due, looked at the people who were still discussing and cheering, Dumbledore put the old wand against his neck, and shouted loudly.
"Be quiet, students, have a little patience, and wait for me, an old man, to finish talking about some old bad tunes, and we can have a pleasant dinner."
"I think many people can't wait, but I still need him to be patient and give himself some time as the principal."
Hearing some teasing words from the headmaster, the students in the audience slowly quieted down and focused their eyes on the podium.
After feeling the silence of the audience, Dumbledore continued.
"In the past six months, we have experienced a lot together. We have experienced the turmoil in the British magic world, and we have seen Regulus' bravery hidden in the dark."
"Witnessing what a real Slytherin should look like, the four houses participated in a play together."
"At the same time, I also saw a classmate who went astray and walked into the darkness because of Voldemort's temptation and the isolation of others."
"But we should have also seen his bravery. At the last moment, he used his own life to prevent the further spread of the darkness, and also washed away the sins that were carried on him."
"We have seen the four colleges return to one again. You can study together, participate in the same activity together, and give your noble applause for the victory of other colleges."
"Thanks to your existence, I see the hope of the magical world, and may the brilliance of magic always shine on the top of your wand."
After the speech, Dumbledore slowly walked back to his seat, and all the students and professors applauded warmly, expressing their satisfaction with the headmaster's performance today.
With the completion of the last procedure, the Christmas dinner officially began, and the long-awaited delicious dishes were finally served on the table.
Different from previous festive dinners, the dishes of this dinner are mainly French and German dishes. The table is full of lye bread and sausages, as well as grilled sizzling foie gras and snails.
Seeing that the British dishes represented by Stargazing Pie did not appear, most of the students were a little surprised, but only a little surprised.
It's more joy and joy. After all, these dishes are only occasionally eaten in high-end restaurants for British magic students who are currently in a tense situation and with shrinking finances.
As for the professors, they are also very happy. After all, they have lived in this castle for more than ten years or even decades, and it is certainly novel to change their taste occasionally.
There was a happy atmosphere in the entire venue, and everyone no longer pretended to be reserved. The entrance ceremony and the battle of the previous few days consumed too much energy of the students.
Seeing a table full of delicacies, the students quickly switched to the crazy cooking mode.
Dumbledore felt helpless and unhappy when he looked at the students who were only busy with cooking, and at the professors who kept exchanging cups and blessings.
Because of the special Christmas meal I ordered at the house elf, I don't know why it was replaced with sausage and sauerkraut.
Looking at the German sausage sprinkled with pepper and salt on his dinner plate, and the crispy sauerkraut pork knuckle that would creak when cut with a knife, Dumbledore didn't know what to eat for a while.
Looking at the bewildered Dumbledore, Grindelwald waved his hand lightly, and the plate of authentic German Christmas dinner disappeared directly on the dining table.
Then Grindelwald took out a huge honey cake, a huge creme brulee, and an oversized cup of hot cocoa from his sleeve.
Putting these desserts between himself and Dumbledore, he pretended to be helpless and said.
"It seems that I am really old. I have prepared two copies, but it seems that I only brought one, which makes people very distressed."
"It seems that someone who is unwilling wants to have dinner with an elderly man like me, but he just doesn't know if I have the honor."
After finishing speaking, Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore with a half-smile, waiting for the other party's reply.
Dumbledore glanced at this scheming old guy, and didn't give the other party a direct answer, but directly grabbed the spoon from the other party's hand, and began to taste the dessert talking to himself.
Looking at his father and mother who started to make trouble again, Augustus felt very speechless, and could only pray that the dinner party would end as soon as possible.
At the same time, he began to immerse himself in cooking crazily, hoping to distract himself with delicious food.
Fortunately, the British did not have the tradition of discussing things at the dinner table. Under the strong temptation of the French dinner, most of the students and professors were full soon.
After the last course of black tea to relieve tiredness was served, the Christmas dinner came to an end.
After the students stood up to pay tribute to the professors, they also began to leave one after another. At the same time, many professors got up and left their seats after giving each other Christmas wishes.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald were obviously dissatisfied with the end of the banquet so quickly, and they got up together and left the auditorium side by side, and went to another place to continue the dinner between the two of them.
As the staff left one after another, only Augustus and Professor Snape were left on the professor's seat. Looking at Professor Snape who still had a melancholy expression, Augustus said calmly.
"There is no need to make a choice so quickly Professor, I have never held any opinion on your ability and loyalty."
"I can allow you to make a decision during this summer vacation. After all, for me now, I also want to enjoy a rare leisure life."
Hearing Augustus' persuasion, Professor Snape just replied indifferently.
"I can't be that selfish, Halle is still waiting for her mother."
Regarding Professor Snape's answer, Augustus pouted contemptuously, and said calmly.
"You are also Harry's guardian now. You are not spending this Christmas alone. Don't forget, there is someone else waiting for you to take her home."
Hearing this, Professor Snape wanted to refute something, but his words were interrupted by Harry.
After seeing Harry, Draco and others exchanging blessings and embracing each other, they jumped happily to the professor's seat.
Looking at the somewhat melancholy Professor Snape, Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, and quickly explained.
"I didn't mean to ignore your professor on purpose, and it was an agreement between the classmates, and I promised it, please don't be angry, okay?"
"And your gift, I like it very much, this is the most beautiful dress I have ever received in my life, thank you professor."
"By the way, then Draco said that their gifts have been sent to our house, so let's go home quickly, okay, I want to go home and open the presents."
