Chapter 115 Christmas Holiday
After entering November, the weather becomes very cold. The mountains around the school are gray and covered with snow and ice, and the lake is as cold and hard as tempered steel.
The whole of Hogwarts has become lively, because the Quidditch season is here!
But for Anton,
All the turmoil has returned to calm.
As if nothing had changed, everything had changed.
Quirrell still wanders deep in the Forbidden Forest every night, but there is no Anton beside him.
Professor Voldemort still maintained his Sunday classes, but he was no longer as graceful as he used to be. He seemed to have exhausted his patience and became irritable.
Snape's Saturday class also became weird, he always stared at Anton closely, showing an inexplicable emotion, and he could see some tension and inexplicable anxiety in him.
But these are all foreign things, I am lucky to have them, but my life is lost.
Anton barely maintained his balance and fell into a frenzy of reading.
White magic!
Well, although there is no such statement in the wizarding world, there must be a statement corresponding to black magic.
Anton took Dumbledore's loan slip and began to frequent the restricted section of the library to borrow those high-end white magic books.
Very difficult!
In the past month, he has only read less than two books, and he is still comprehending the second one.
His main request now is Dumbledore.
In fact, Voldemort can also teach, but the ghost knows when Lao Vol will completely lose patience, and Anton will not take the initiative to change the subject as much as he can listen to the courses about the soul.
One is The Fun of the Animagus.
After in-depth understanding, Anton finally knew why there were only seven officially registered Animagus in the Wizarding World.
Because this spell is boring and useless and a waste of time.
To use Pedro the Fairy's admonishing tone is - why don't you put all your energy on the Iron Curse?
First of all, it is an extremely time-consuming high-end transfiguration, which is very troublesome and very dangerous. With ordinary luck, it may take a wizard several years to complete the steps of this spell.
Secondly, its effect is to turn into an ordinary non-magic animal, and it is a single option, which cannot be changed after transformation. This transformation preserves the ability to think, self-identity and memory similar to that of the human form.
But after becoming an animal, feelings and emotions will be simplified and replaced by wild desires of animals, and even eating habits will follow animal instincts.
"Learning this spell is a complete waste of time," said Dumbledore as well. "If you want to hide your body shape, there are more options in the wizarding world. The most labor-saving way is to buy an invisibility cloak."
Anton pursed his lips, "You also know my bionic spell, maybe I can draw inferences, which is very useful."
Although Dumbledore didn't agree very much, he still explained seriously, including why he had to keep the leaves of dracaena in his mouth for a month, why he had to wait for the storm formed by nature, and so on.
Yes, he pays more attention to the wonderful connection between wizards, nature and spells.
Worthy of being a master of Transfiguration, Dumbledore's lessons were equally exciting.
It's just that Dumbledore didn't know that Anton must learn this spell.
The Animagus was the only way he knew how to escape from Azkaban, and he must, must learn it.
The ghost knows when he will live in it.
The second book he is currently working on is "One Hundred and Fifty-Two Variations of the Bubble Mantra".
The bubble head spell works by creating a large bubble around the caster's head, which looks like a goldfish bowl has been turned upside down. This spell can be used to breathe underwater, or to block the surrounding foul air.
Anton was not very interested in this spell.
However, the book editor's manipulation of various whimsical ideas of the spell and the ideas of changing the spell are very useful for reference.
This can guide him to better expand the floating spell into a more powerful spell with wider applicability.
Just like that, Anton raised his head from the book, and was shocked to find that the bustling Hogwarts Quidditch season ended inexplicably!
Harry, Ron, and Hermione became more mysterious, Professor Voldemort's temper became more irritable, Snape became more entangled, and Dumbledore repeatedly asked about Anton's contact process with Professor Quirrell.
"I seem to have missed something interesting."
Anton shrugged, once again immersed in the beauty of magic.
"whatever."
...
...
In this way, the two-week Christmas holiday has arrived.
woo woo woo~~~
The train started slowly and left Hogsmeade Station.
Anton still didn't enter the carriage, he put the suitcase beside the aisle, sat on it and watched the scenery outside the railing.
Life is like a journey without an end, and everyone can only be led by fate to run forward.
Even if they go back to the past ingeniously, people will always find that this place is just a part of the journey of destiny, and those who should come can't escape.
Facing is the solution to all problems.
Anton simply has this consciousness and resilience.
Overall, apart from the night when Voldemort was about to devour him, the six months of school had been easy and enjoyable.
Background music can be brisk, gentle passacaglia piano.
Great.
Lupine picked him up in a navy blue sports car.
"Hey, you changed another car?" Anton looked at the uncle curiously.
Although Lupine became rich, his past experience made this gentle old man know how to live better. Except for spending money on Anton, Anna and Ilsa, Lupine is not the kind of spendthrift.
"Actually, it has been changed for half a year, the day you went to school." Lupine said this, with a look of pain on his face, "I shouldn't have let Arthur drive my car, God, he thought my The car can fly!"
The corner of Anton's mouth twitched, not knowing how to comment.
Return home with salute.
Boom!
Fireworks made of colored paper exploded. Anna and Ilsa each held a paper firework and wore funny hats.
Anna grinned shyly, "Welcome home!"
Anton smiled, very happily.
The old wizard didn't come back with him. In fact, he couldn't take the Hogwarts train, he could only pass through it.
Floating all the way home from Hogwarts, maybe he could just receive a letter from Anton returning to school to report that he was safe.
Pedro is also not there. It is said that with the help of Rozier, he plans to follow Lupine to open a factory to support his fellow goblins.
As for Nagini, wherever Rozier is, she is.
"It's hard." Lupine sighed. "The goblins don't trust Pedro, the wizards don't trust Pedro, and even the hired wizard manager has a lot of problems."
Lupine has an excellent reputation in the werewolf community. What about the reputation of Pedro, a wise man who has lived for hundreds of years—hehe, why did he go so early?
In general, although Pedro is devastated, he is willing to do everything he can to make up for past mistakes.
So this Christmas it's just the four of them.
Everyone came downstairs, where a sumptuous banquet had been prepared early.
In the letter, Lu Ping proudly said that he had signed up for the cooking class, but he made only one plate of fried rice with eggs in the whole table.
Anton glanced, oh, the progress is really too great.
Added diced carrots, mung beans, diced ham, diced mushrooms, diced pineapple...
Anyway, it looks a bit interesting in a flashy way.
Miss Ilsa contributed a large chicken wrap and a fruit salad.
so……
The dishes on the whole table are still the taste of those two Chinese restaurants and French restaurants.
"Yo, you two really love life." Anton mocked.
Lupine shrugged. "The company is too busy."
Ilsa sighed, "Obviously I don't have great cooking talent, but we changed the home theater to the largest screen."
"Wow~" Anton didn't know what to say.
Anna covered her mouth and smirked.
