The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Chapter 133 [Christmas Dinner]

The Christmas dinner at Hogwarts could be said to be the happiest time of the year. Because there are fewer people, it may not be that lively, but Christmas is definitely the happiest day.

The Christmas feast is prepared by the house elves in the kitchen, including a hundred plump roast turkeys, mountains of roast meat and boiled potatoes, large plates of sausages, bowls of buttered peas, and plates of thick gravy and cranberry sauce.

In addition, the desserts provided also include flaming Christmas pudding, some of which contain a Sickle silver coin.

In addition, wizard crackers are placed on the table. Unlike Muggle crackers, which only make a muffled sound and contain plastic toys and paper hats, wizard crackers explode with a bang like a cannon, engulfing everyone around in a cloud of blue smoke.

Wizard crackers may conjure up lively little white mice, wizard chess sets, self-growing wart kits, and life-size hats, etc.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Hermione, Klee, Ginny and several others walked into the hall together. The hall was already full of people. Nearly two hundred wizards stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas, filling two tables.

Several people were already sitting at the professors' small table, such as Professor Flitwick, Professor Trelawney, etc.

It was the first time for Mr. and Mrs. Granger to attend a wizarding dinner, and they looked a little nervous, but they were more worried about their daughter Hermione.

Before a few minutes had passed, Harry and the others came in through the door and saw Hermione and Mr. and Mrs. Granger at first glance. They hurried over to greet Hermione happily and share what had happened during this time.

Hermione also responded happily, greeting her friends one by one.

Dumbledore arrived late, first gave an extremely concise speech, and then immediately announced the start of the dinner.

Ron stuffed food into his mouth while saying indistinctly: "Gryffindor will definitely win the House Cup this year. Hufflepuff might not even be at the bottom. Do you know that Dumbledore added a full five hundred points to Gryffindor because of us! Hufflepuff also added one hundred and fifty points! Now the badgers are very excited. There is a trend in their house to take this opportunity to seize second place and never be the bottom again."

"Sounds interesting!" Mrs. Granger first gave Ron an approving look, and then asked her daughter with her eyes, what was going on.

"You know, it's that basilisk we talked about this afternoon, the monster that attacked me, the very big and long one. We killed it, and now its body has been dragged away and decomposed. We have all received the Order of Merlin because of this," Hermione said simply.

"How big is it exactly?" Dr. Granger remembered that Hermione told them in the afternoon that the basilisk was ten feet long.

"The basilisk is about three hundred feet long!" Ron blurted out before Hermione could answer.

"Three hundred feet!?" Mr. and Mrs. Granger were almost shocked at the same time.

They looked at Hermione with unkind expressions. Their daughter was lying. Five or six people and hundreds of centaur warriors dealt with a ten-foot basilisk, which meant that it wasn't much for each person, maybe just a fight with a dog, but if it was magnified thirty times, it wouldn't be fun. Not fun at all!

"I'm just not that sensitive to sizes!" Hermione retorted.

"I think we need to seriously consider dropping out of Hogwarts!" Mrs. Granger said word by word, her tone extremely serious.

"Mom…" Hermione just wanted to argue, when suddenly, her time was up. As soon as she finished saying this, Hermione turned into a stone.

"Hermione! My baby! Waa waa…" Mrs. Granger's sorrow came from within, and she cried while holding the petrified Hermione.

Dr. Granger dropped his cutlery, covered his face and wept. They really couldn't imagine that their daughter, who was not even fourteen years old, had already faced such dangerous things. He could only weakly hold Hermione and Mrs. Granger.

This scene in the corner did not affect the cheerful atmosphere of the Great Hall. Klee nodded to Ginny, and the latter used a spell to lift Hermione up and walk towards the school hospital.

Harry and Ron also helped Ginny leave together.

Klee stopped Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who wanted to follow, and said sincerely: "Uncle Granger, Auntie, please come with me!"

The two hesitated for a moment, but still followed Klee to the corridor. Klee led the two to the bathroom on the third floor corridor.

"Do you see the crack in the wall?" Klee pointed to the place where Hermione killed the troll in the first grade.

"This is where Hermione killed the troll a year ago. It was fifteen feet tall! The diameter of its forearm was wider than Uncle Granger's body," Klee said slowly: "Hermione wasn't afraid! She calmly used a spell and defeated the troll in just a few minutes… alone!"

Mr. and Mrs. Granger both covered their mouths.

In the next few minutes, Klee carefully chose his words and told Mr. and Mrs. Granger in detail what happened at the Halloween party last year.

When Klee explained the exciting parts, Mr. and Mrs. Granger became nervous, and when the troll finally fell, they relaxed again.

From the window here, you can see the Black Lake, especially the stones next to the Black Lake… those are the fences left to divide the basilisk, and they haven't been removed yet.

Klee pointed to the stone fence outside the window and said: "That is the location where the basilisk's body was parked. Now the basilisk's body has been moved away, but you can still feel its hugeness and inviolability from that array!"

After that, Klee fully used his eloquence to tell Mr. and Mrs. Granger in detail everything that happened from the beginning to the end of the basilisk's attack on Hermione.

He especially emphasized the determination made by Hermione—we cannot let the basilisk attack our classmates! No matter what happens, we must kill it!

This slogan was so shocking that it was almost unbelievable that it came from the mouth of a 14-year-old girl.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger were a little stunned for a while. They could feel Hermione's determination at the time from these simple words. They could even imagine what kind of determined mood their daughter was in at the time to save the entire Hogwarts castle.

"Is this our daughter?" Mrs. Granger seemed to be meeting her daughter for the first time. She was just an ordinary dentist, and perhaps the most dangerous thing in her life was the gang on the streets of England.

But compared to the basilisk, what are those ridiculous gangs?

Her daughter is so brave, fearless, righteous, and full of vigor! She seems to be a natural hero, a god born in the ordinary world!

Dr. Granger was also full of shock. His daughter had never told him about these things. When he heard these things, his reaction was: Did my daughter really do this?

The image of a heroine overlaps with his daughter.

Heroine—Hermione Granger!
