I was Hermione's puppy at Hogwarts

"Okay, since you want to go back so much, then spend your Christmas at Granger's house." Dumbledore looked at Lovell with doting eyes, stretched out his hand and rubbed its furry head.

"Okay!" After hearing the exact news, the wolf cub almost jumped up with joy.

It rubbed its head hard against Dumbledore's trousers, and its tail waggled like a small fan. While rubbing it, Lovell said in a coquettish tone: "Grandpa Dumbledore, you are a good person~ Lovell, the best~

~~I like you~"

Dumbledore showed a dumbfounded expression. Who does the little wolf cub in front of him like the most? After all, Dumbledore has lived for so long and he can’t count them in his mind? If he were to make a list in order of favorability, I’m afraid Filch would

They can all be ranked in front of him! If he had just spoken out his true thoughts, I am afraid that the coquettish and cute wolf cub in front of him would immediately jump up and bite his knees, right?

You know, I know, but this little wolf cub is so cute!

The wolf cub's little head rubbed against his legs, which was similar to a massager and very comfortable. More importantly, it brought spiritual comfort. Lovell's presence was like a ray of sunshine.

, enough to dispel the inner haze, like a clear spring that can nourish the dry heart of adults.

Dumbledore picked up Lovell from the ground, held him in his arms and combed his soft fur.

Lovell stuck out his pink little tongue, turned over in Dumbledore's arms, and stretched out his little paws, as if stretching. Looking at the coquettish little wolf cub lying in his arms, Dumbledore

Lido was in a daze, and he even had the illusion that he was taking care of his grandson.

But judging from Dumbledore's age, it would be hard for Lovell to be his great-great-grandson...

'Let's take this little guy to meet him later.' Dumbledore decided to postpone his plan. This Christmas, he wanted to take Lovell to meet someone, but seeing how homesick he was, Dumbledore

I really can't bear it.

"The days are long, the days are long..." Dumbledore coaxed the wolf cub in his arms and made excuses for it.

The child is still young and there will be plenty of time in the future, so why not just go back and stay for a few days... All kinds of excuses come at your fingertips.

…

The days approaching the holidays always fly by so fast. From the wolf cub's point of view, it's as simple as closing and opening one's eyes, and the Christmas holidays are here. But for those little wizards who have to go to school, these days are extremely long.

, it’s like living like a year.

It can be said with certainty that Christmas is the "Spring Festival" in the West and is the most solemn holiday in the Western world, both in the non-magical world and in the magical world. Like the Spring Festival, Christmas does not start on Christmas Eve.

Basically, all universities in the UK will have a holiday at least one week in advance, and then wait until early January of the next year to start again. Most of the Christmas holidays in the non-magical world last for a month. Hogwarts is a wizarding school, so naturally it will not be the same as that of Ma.

Let’s get started – the Christmas break at Hogwarts is only two weeks.

Although Lovell didn't pay attention at all, the Christmas atmosphere in the school did become stronger after December entered. In the second week of December, the deans of each college began to collect lists of students who stayed in school for Christmas.

, these students will spend an unforgettable Christmas at school. As for those students who want to go home, they need to book seats on the Hogwarts Express after the dean collects the list, and then wait for the school holiday to take the train home.

On the last weekend of the first semester, Hogwarts thoughtfully held a Hogsmeade Open House, allowing students in third grade and above the opportunity to go to Hogsmeade Village to buy Christmas gifts.

However, Lovell listened to Dumbledore's warning and did not take the opportunity to go to Hogsmeade to play. Of course, even if he could go there, there would be no money. From the day he sneaked into Hogsmeade to the time he left school

During these days, Lovell has been living in seclusion in the principal's office and has almost no contact with the outside world.

Finally, the day to leave came.

Early that morning, Lovell squatted outside the cabin with his copy of "Hogwarts: A School History", eagerly waiting for Dumbledore to take him back to London.

I don't know how long it took before Dumbledore appeared in the office wearing purple wizard robes.

"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Dumbledore was a little puzzled as he looked at the wolf cub who was crouching down and feeling sleepy.

Lovell:???

"I'm waiting for you!" Lovell said helplessly, "Can I still go back on my own?"

Dumbledore blinked mischievously, "I thought you were waiting for me to come and hand over the Christmas gift to me, but I didn't expect it was for a 'hitchhike'!"

Lovell's eyes widened in shock: "Can you be more shameless? You are asking for a gift from a wolf cub! I didn't prepare a gift for you at all. Where can I find the gift you want now?"

But...it seems like there really is something to give?

The wolf cub rolled his eyes, remembering the blind box he had picked up at Daniel's Bookstore.

"I originally planned to send it to you on Christmas Day. Since you asked, I will give it to you now!" Lovell turned around and got into his cabin, and then took out the book under Dumbledore's surprised eyes.

got a small box.

"Here you go, take it~" Lovell pushed the box in front of Dumbledore and looked at Dumbledore with a proud look.

"It's really hard for you." Dumbledore chuckled and accepted Lovell's gift.

He planned to take it apart and take a look after sending Lovell back. He was really curious about what the little wolf cub would give him - he hoped it wouldn't be anything like meat and bones.

"Okay, it's time to say goodbye. When the Christmas vacation is over, I will pick you up - Fox!" Dumbledore called out the name of his phoenix, and then the big golden-red bird came out of the wooden house.

came out and landed in front of Lovell.

Lovell:?!

"Fawkes will take you back to Granger's house. I wish you a Merry Christmas!" Dumbledore waved to Lovell. Before Lovell could say anything, Fawkes grabbed the wolf cub with his paws and disappeared.

Gone.

After the wolf and the bird disappeared, Dumbledore couldn't wait to open the gift box that Lovell left for him. His eager attitude was not at all like the respected principal of a magic school, but more like a child who had not grown up.

The lid of the gift box was opened, and the gift inside was revealed. When Dumbledore saw the appearance of the gift, he was stunned——

Neatly placed in the box was a pair of golden-red wool socks.

Second update, good night~

Note: Not all Muggle universities in the UK will start school in early January. The University of Exeter and the University of Surrey set the start date on December 31st. I don’t know what they are doing... Of course, the worst thing is

Not for students from these two universities, the worst situation is for students from the University of Manchester. Their Christmas holiday in 2021 is from December 20th to January 2nd, 2022, which is a full 14 days, compared with Oxford's 42 days and Cambridge University's 45 days.

Comparing the extremely long holidays makes everyone cry and hear sadness.

(However, compared with those universities that have two weekends, New Year's Day and one day, three days in a row, which are called non-adjusted short holidays, the University of Manchester is still quite conscientious)
