After Harry made the suggestion, Little Sirius cheerfully raised his arm and called out to his godson's two friends.
"Hermione, Ron!"
As the two approached, they heard Little Sirius extend the invitation: "Harry just told me he wants to invite you both to Grimmauld Place No. 12 for Christmas—how about it, what do you think of this idea?"
"Spend Christmas with you?" Ron put down his arm, surprised and delighted: "Of course—Mom and Dad plan to visit Charlie in Romania, so we're only at school for Christmas."
Speaking of which, Ron looked at Harry and said: "You know, Harry, just like the Christmas holiday in first year."
"Obviously," Hermione added: "Your mom and dad love you very much."
"Of course," Ron laughed, "If we graduate and are as far away as Charlie and Bill, then Mom and Dad would definitely be busy—but we often see them now, so they won't miss us for the time being, seeing as we become their trouble every summer."
"How could that be?" Little Sirius said incredulously, "I know Molly and Arthur; how could they ever dislike you?"
"Oh, you haven't been to my home during the holidays." Ron imitated his mom with arms akimbo: "Ronald Weasley! How many times have I told you! Get up on time in the morning! No sleeping in! And you two! Fred, George! If you could ever ease my mind, I wouldn't be shouting at you every day…"
He then turned his head, not only changing his expression quickly but also slowing his speech: "Oh, Ginny dear, come down for breakfast—and I haven't congratulated you on being accepted into Hogwarts."
"I bet, buddy." Harry gave a thumbs up, "You are definitely Auntie Molly's own child!"
Little Sirius laughed so hard he leaned over, holding his thigh and patting the wall with one hand.
"Alright, alright." He wiped the tears from his laughter and patted Ron's shoulder: "That settles it—Christmas at Grimmauld Place No. 12 with me. What about you, Hermione, do you want to join?"
"Of course." Hermione accepted Little Sirius's invitation with a smile, "I have nothing planned for Christmas; my dad said he wants to take mom to travel to Sirius, mentioning a city called 'Shanghai' to buy a few properties."
"Why buy property over there?" Ron asked with interest.
"Dad said the economy there is developing rapidly, and property prices will surely increase in the future. Our family made a bit from the British Pounds crisis a couple of years ago, and we have quite a bit of spare money, so mom didn't oppose him." Hermione explained.
"Alright." Ron nodded, trusting Mr. Granger's financial acumen.
At least for the Weasley family, he could be called a financial genius.
Having accepted Little Sirius's invitation, Harry and the group didn't sign the application form to stay at Hogwarts brought by Professor McGonagall.
However…
The most important issue facing Harry was inviting Vivi, Cassandra, and Pabi to Little Sirius's home for Christmas.
Pabi was easy to deal with, but Vivi and Cassandra…
He found Pabi first.
Upon hearing Harry's invitation, Pabi accepted it without hesitation.
"Yay!" Pabi said, jumping with excitement.
Harry felt a bit dumbfounded—why does a ghost shake vigorously while jumping?
Oh, dear, I'm just a child; why am I shown such things!
Unbeknownst to him, given Pabi's scale, she wouldn't be out of place in a future game called "Azur Lane."
Of course, Cassandra was another matter; she… um…
"Hehehe, what are you thinking?" Pabi sprawled across Harry's back.
Thankfully, in ghost form, he felt nothing but a cold ghostly presence.
"Nothing, I think I should revive you as soon as possible." Harry said rapidly.
Leaving Pabi, Harry went straight to the outside of the Slytherin common room.
"Crabbe, Goyle." Harry called out to Crabbe and Goyle returning from the hall, "Get Draco for me."
"Sure." The two Slytherin chubby boys walked into the common room without hesitation, helping him call Draco out.
Draco appeared slightly puzzled.
No big deal—why would Harry seek me out?
"Go get Cassandra for me." Harry patted Draco's shoulder, "I have something to discuss with her."
Finally, he added: "It's very important."
"So you called me out just for this?"
Draco was somewhat exasperated; you want to call my great aunt, have Crabbe and Goyle find Miss Fari to inform her—why bother me?
Do you really have to trouble me?
However, Draco thought it should be a good opportunity and thus gave Harry an OK gesture.
"Don't worry, I'll find her."
Draco turned and entered the Slytherin common room, and soon, Cassandra emerged.
"Oh." Cassandra said exaggeratedly upon seeing Harry, "I never expected Potter to have time to find me; I thought you were canoodling with that Austrian girlfriend of yours—so, what's up?"
