It was December 15th, three days before the Christmas break. Harry, Ron and Hermione didn't pay much attention to this. They put all their energy on the exam tomorrow. Ron spent a week studying

Shi went to He Shenyan every night to make up for his lessons. After that, his study progress finally improved a little. At least he could understand Harley's notes. The three of them no longer go to the playground or hang out by the lake.

Apart from classes, I spent time in the library, reviewing like crazy the "Basic Theory of Magic" compiled by the professor, wishing I could understand every punctuation mark.

December 16th, this day finally arrived. The exam lasted only one hour and ended quickly. After Ron put down his pen, he took a long breath. As the breath was exhaled, he seemed to be sucked out of his body.

Bones, slumped backwards on the chair, staring at the ceiling blankly: "Oh my god, I can't believe I did it..."

Harry and Hermione were not much better than him. The crazy study during this period had already made the three of them physically and mentally exhausted. They both slumped on the chair in the same posture and exhaled.

Hermione said: "If it weren't for the professor's help, you might really fail."

Ron curled his lips: "You can eliminate the possibility. I didn't expect that the professor was actually willing to spare a week of free time to teach me about the classes he had taken."

Harley didn't speak, she looked like she was thinking.

----------------------------------------

Snape was practicing hard in front of the mirror: "If you don't mind... Christmas... If, you don't mind. Christmas we can... If you don't mind..."

"Alas..." He suddenly sighed and found that he couldn't say the words even if he practiced in front of the mirror, but what else could he do? The Christmas vacation was coming soon, and he didn't want Harley to go back to that place again.

Snape simply sat down. There was a "Basic Spell Encyclopedia" on his desk, as well as his notebook, which was densely filled with notes. Most of them were about the connection between the soul and the body.

This once dark and damp office has now become spacious and bright. The fireplace that was not used for many years is now basically burning with flames. Magic candles are lit on the walls, filling the room with warm and bright light. There is even a hanging hanging behind Snape.

A piece of blue curtain, which Harry bought specially for him.

"Bang bang bang." There was a knock on the office door. He didn't know who would knock on his door at this time.

"Please come in."

A red-haired girl walked in, it was Harley.

Snape immediately sat up straight, and his expression softened unconsciously. Harry smiled sheepishly, and she said carefully: "That's right... Professor, I don't want to go back to Dudley's house for Christmas. I

Can I stay at school for Christmas?"

"Sure, I mean, why not?"

He replied, secretly deciding that he would also spend Christmas at school this year. In the past, he would choose to buy some wine and get drunk at his own home, but this year there is no need for it.

"And you don't actually need to come to discuss this with me, you just need to talk to the prefect," Snape said.

"But I think... I still have to tell you, it's better this way, Professor." The girl's voice was filled with suppressed cheer, and then she left.

Snape looked at the closed door and murmured: "Wait a minute...wait a minute."

"It'll be fine soon."

He Shenyan was correcting the test paper. He did not use magic, but did it with his own hands. These students did not let him down, nor did they let themselves down. They all passed, and Ron Weasley even got a good score of 97 points. After correcting the test paper, He Shenyan looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He was not interested in these holidays, but he didn't plan to spend it in the office like this.

He stood up and put on his black robe, planning to go for a walk in the Forbidden Forest. He had just asked the Acromantula to clean up its offspring a few days ago, and there were still many magical creatures in this world that he had not expected. . Such as those unicorns and centaurs.

He Shenyan strolled along. There were many students on the road, but they all turned a blind eye to him. He Shenyan became more and more fond of this little trick that could reduce his sense of presence. He walked into the deep and dark Forbidden Forest. At five o'clock Even in the UK, which is known for its gloomy weather, there is some sunshine in the afternoon, but after stepping into the Forbidden Forest, the sunshine almost disappears. The trees here have no leaves, stretching out their bare and twisted branches, enjoying themselves in the darkness. winding towards the sky.

He Shenyan walked all the way in. He would stop from time to time to look at the plants with magical auras, but the main purpose was to find a unicorn. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already there. It turned into pure black. In his vision at this time, the world was simply divided into black and white. There were scarlet footprints on the ground, guiding him in a certain direction.

Those footprints spread all the way to the depths of the Forbidden Forest. He found a white creature at the foot of a slope. It had a golden horn on its head, its whole body was white, and even fluoresced in the dark. Its white hair Put around the neck, it looks sacred and inviolable - of course, not personal.

Just like now, He Shenyan canceled the little trick and appeared. The unicorn not only did not run away immediately, but on the contrary, it slowly walked towards him with undisguised curiosity in its eyes.

It slowly walked up to He Shenyan and lowered his head. He Shenyan reached out and touched it, feeling a special kind of warmth. It was like taking a bath in a hot spring. He laughed: "You think I'm very warm?" pain?"

It stared at He Shenyan with its eyes and nuzzled him with its head.

"Oh...it doesn't have to be like this. I'm not in pain." He said, but the unicorn still didn't stop its behavior. The golden horn on its head was emitting a little golden light, trying to use caution to dispel the pain in its heart. .

"No, you don't understand. This is not pain, but nostalgia." His smile disappeared. He stroked the unicorn's head intently and patiently, but he did not look at it, but stared at the open space aside: "What is nostalgia?"

"It's hard to explain to you because it's a human concept."

"You really want to know?"

"Well, my literary skills are terrible. I'll try my best to describe it to you."

He Shenyan said: "It's like a fish forced to leave the water. Although this fish has evolved in this process and can survive on land without water, it may even no longer be a fish. But it I still miss being underwater.”

"He missed his family, his friends. He missed every bit of that place...and if possible, he wanted to see that place again before he died."

The unicorn stood quietly, listening to what he said and nuzzling him again.

"You want me to ride on you?"

He Shenyan was a little surprised, but the unicorn nudged him again, as if to urge him, so he had no choice but to get on his horse, and the unicorn took him and ran in the other direction.

The unicorn took him through the forbidden forest at an extremely fast speed and came to a lake. He dismounted and the considerate creature nuzzled him again. He Shenyan laughed: "No, no. I

Not a real fish. Take me to the lake..."

His words stopped abruptly.

Because the unicorn was creating a spectacle for him with the glowing horn on its forehead.

The lake began to boil, and countless fish jumped out of the water. On the other side of the river, a group of unicorns were slowly walking out. Each of them flashed the horns on their heads, and surged from between the flashing horns.

The magic power emitted formed a mighty golden light curtain, illuminating the entire lake as bright as day, and even half of the sky was illuminated.

In this warm golden light, the unicorn nuzzled him, and the lonely man lowered his head. He put his head together with the unicorn and whispered: "Thank you. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever received.

A great Christmas gift.”

The unicorn screamed happily, stepped through the golden light curtain on the water, and joined its companions. The light slowly disappeared, and they gradually disappeared into the depths of the forbidden forest on the other side.

He Shenyan stood there for a long time.
