While eating in the auditorium, Cedric had already learned from Connor what had happened in the Potions class.

He smacked his lips and asked curiously, "I remember that the Water of Life and Death is something that students learn in the sixth grade. How did you do it... Wait, don't tell me you've finished studying all the Potions textbooks!"

Kyle, who was cutting sausages, looked up at him and smiled, "What if that's the case?"

Cedric was slightly stunned, then half-jokingly said, "Then I can only give up Quidditch and make time to study harder... After all, being friends with the future potion master is very stressful."

"It seems that I have saved my life from Harris." Kyle patted his chest and said with some fear: "If you quit the team for this reason, he will definitely kill me! "Okay, I admit that I was joking just now. "

Under everyone's gaze, Kyle continued, "It was luck. I picked up a book called 'Advanced Magic Potion Making' a few days ago and just flipped through it to kill time. I happened to see the process of making the Water of Life and Death."

It was true that he was lucky. If he had not learned the Occlumency technique during the summer vacation, he would not have dared to jump like that in front of Snape.

Although this behavior is a bit suicidal, it is really cool.

Especially when he saw Snape's expression of wanting to deduct points but unable to, and his face full of doubt about life, Kyle almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

It was a pity that he was not able to take a picture of his appearance at that time, otherwise Kyle would have used the best developing potion to make it into a ghost-like animated picture and posted it in every corner of Hogwarts.

I just don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future. If there is, maybe he can discuss it with Peeves...

“Even so, it’s amazing.”

At this time, Mikel, who was sitting on the other side of Kyle, sighed and said, "Professor Snape has clearly written down the process, but I just can't learn it."

Mikel was the unlucky guy whose cauldron exploded.

After he finished stirring, the original potion began to evaporate rapidly, and finally the crucible suddenly exploded, bursting out a pool of black gelatinous substance.

To some extent, the effect of that thing in causing people to fall asleep may be better than the normal water of life and death, but no one dares to taste it.

After dinner, they returned to the common room and sat down near the fireplace.

The blazing fire quickly dispelled the cold brought in from outside, and several people leaned back on the sofa, squinting their eyes comfortably.

Because the Christmas holiday is coming soon, the little wizards in the common room are very excited and almost everyone is discussing their holiday plans.

Cedric listened to their conversation and turned to ask, "By the way, Kyle, are you really not going to go home this Christmas?"

"Yeah." Kyle nodded.

Diana hadn't been home lately, and Chris had gone to Albania with Newt, so there was still no one at home this Christmas.

Last week, when Professor Sprout came to register the list of students who would stay on campus for the holidays, Kyle immediately signed his name, as did Connor.

According to Connor, Snape seemed to want to give her extra lessons during the Christmas holidays, so she had to stay in school.

This made Kyle envious. Although he wanted to shamelessly go and sit in, he knew with his own eyes that Snape would definitely not agree.

In addition, Fred and George also planned to stay this year because the Weasleys were going to Romania to visit Charlie and did not plan to take them with them.

"Why do you all have to spend Christmas at school this year..." Cedric scratched his hair helplessly and said, "It would be too boring for me to go back alone."

In fact, he also wanted to stay in school and even wrote a letter home for this purpose, but Mr. Diggory firmly disagreed.

Fortunately, Qiu also chose to go home, so he didn't seem too out of place.

Several people sat in front of the fireplace until the afternoon, then reluctantly stood up and left the common room.

Cedric was going to his last Charms class before the holiday.

Kyle and Kanna took the Herbology class.

After the armored pumpkin last Halloween, Professor Sprout brought out another magical plant that fit the occasion in the last class before the Christmas holiday.

Snow covered toadstools.

This is a fungus that is more than half a meter tall. There are circles of white lines on its cap, which looks like a Christmas tree with a layer of snow on top.

As expected, Kyle once again won 20 points for Hufflepuff.

I don’t know if it was out of consideration for other people’s feelings or because of Christmas, but when the get out of class was over, Professor Sprout gave everyone a pot of snow capped mushrooms as a gift.

But Kyle wasn't in a very good mood.

The main reason is that the snow mushroom is a non-toxic ornamental plant, but it usually grows on the top of a mountain covered with snow all year round, so few of the little wizards have seen it.

In fact, you can buy a pot of snow capped mushrooms in Diagon Alley for only three Sickles, and it’s even cheaper if you buy seeds, at twenty knuts a small spoonful.

Planting it in the flowerbed can only improve the food of the Moon Beast.

…

After Kyle, Kanna and the others finished their last herbal medicine class and came out of the greenhouse, everyone jumped up excitedly.

Tomorrow is the long-awaited holiday. If they didn't have to attend a party in the evening, they would have wanted to board the train home right now.

At the back of the crowd, Connor asked quietly, "Kyle, how are you going to spend this holiday?"

"Probably nothing." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I was too busy before, so I can take a good rest during the holiday. I plan to take a good look around Hogwarts, or try the secret passage recommended by the Weasley brothers."

After hearing this, Kanna couldn't help but show a look of envy.

During this holiday, she only had three days to do homework for each subject, and the rest of the time was used for make-up classes.

According to Professor Snape, "Your foundation is too poor. You have wasted such a great talent. You must take extra classes!"

Originally, she had a week to complete her homework, and if she worked faster, she would have a few days free to do as she pleased.

But for some reason, on the way to class just now, she suddenly received a note from Professor Snape, which said that the make-up class time would be moved forward four days and asked her to finish her homework as soon as possible.

There is no way out now. I can only finish my homework in three days and can’t do anything else.
