Chapter 416 The Legendary Man
The quality of the cloak is excellent, and it has a mesmerizing sheen under the dim light.
Snape glanced at the door to the underground classroom and made sure it was locked. Then he walked to the closet and opened it, revealing several identical black cloaks.
After putting his clothes in the closet, Snape put on the brand new cloak. He turned his head, glanced at the soft cloak, and walked back and forth in the room.
The cloak kept swaying with his movements, and the light flowed.
Snape's eyebrows furrowed. Just an ordinary cloak?
"fly!"
Snape whispered, his cloak showing no reaction.
"Flight!"
He made a flying posture and jumped around the underground classroom. After working for a while, Snape stopped without changing his expression and walked to the door panel.
With murderous intent in his dark eyes, he listened intently to the sounds outside.
Several foreign accents gradually faded away with cheerful footsteps.
They should be little wizards from other schools. They always like to run around in the school and treat this place as a playground for deciphering secrets.
There were several times when I, Minerva, and Flitwick had to rescue the little wizards who were trapped in various places, which was as annoying as Gryffindor!
He sat back on the chair again and began to think about where the problem was. Could it be that I didn't express it clearly enough?
After thinking about it for almost an hour, Snape couldn't figure it out. He looked at the cloak again.
To be fair, this cloak is not bad. Although it is not what he thought, it is novel and unique in style. Snape thought this and felt much better. He waved his wand casually.
After collecting the gifts scattered on the ground, Snape left the underground classroom wearing new clothes.
Zhang Xiao snapped his fingers and asked the elf to open other gifts as usual, such as snacks, and donate them all to the Hogwarts kitchen to make hot chocolate or the like.
Things containing love potions were directly rendered harmless, and the books were sent to the library. By the way, he had been the largest donor to the Hogwarts library in the past few years.
The other things were put away in categories, gathered in big boxes, and put into the Qiankun bag.
Malfoy was also familiar with this situation and asked the elf to take action and handle it according to Zhang Xiao's method.
The house elves moved very quickly. Under the influence of magic, the dormitory became empty again in just a moment. The two young elves bowed happily to them and left happily with chocolates and other things. .
There are also things that Zhang Xiao uses to improve the environment of the kitchen in various ways, such as giving clothes and shoes under the pretext of revamping work uniforms.
There is also a renovation project for the elf dormitory, which has transformed the simple and shabby bedding into comfortable beds and quilts.
If you can't change the living environment of the race, then you should first improve the living environment of the places you can control. At least doing it is ten thousand times better than just shouting slogans.
Taking Dumbledore's gift, Zhang Xiao sat back on the bed and opened the very mini gift package, which contained only two cards.
No wonder it's so thin and small.
Zhang Xiao curled his lips, and the first thing he looked at was the first card, which had the familiar Dumbledore font on it:
"When people ask about the identity of the Glove Lady, you can say that this lady is called Mona. She comes from the Federot region. She is an outstanding wizard who likes to travel. She is dedicated to studying the relationship between Muggles and wizards, so she has been studying the relationship between Muggles and wizards for many years. Living in Muggle society.
She is also a good friend of Albus Dumbledore. We have written to each other many times. You met her during the summer vacation and formed a good friendship. This time she wrote to you, congratulations on your victory in the first round. excellent results.
And you showed interest and curiosity in watching the game live, so you invited the lady to watch the second game and asked her to dance. "
Zhang Xiao read it carefully, and it turned out that Ms. Glove’s identity was, well, she studied the relationship between Muggles and wizards. So she has been living in Muggle society for many years.
This avoids the problem of why she is not known. The only evidence here is Dumbledore himself, but Dumbledore's personal endorsement is enough.
As for this name, Mona Zhang Xiao couldn't help but laugh. It was probably a pseudonym. It couldn't be Astorogis Mona Megistus, right?
Stuffing Dumbledore's card aside, Zhang Xiao picked up the second card, only to find that it contained a brief contract.
"I, Nick Flamel, present the Flamel family's magic carriage to Mr. Xiao Zhang. I hope he will like this, my favorite vehicle."
Zhang Xiao looked at this magic card that looked like a will in astonishment. Could it be that Nico Flamel was dying?
He hurriedly looked at the card carefully, and then saw another line of words on the back, still Dumbledore's handwriting:
"Relax, my old friend may still have some time left. He has just begun to deal with his huge inheritance. You have to know that during the nearly six hundred years of mastering the Philosopher's Stone, he and his wife have had properties all over the world. Very many houses and properties.
There were too many to remember, so they were forced to search through their memories, trying to find every house and laboratory they bought.
Ms. Peverell had a very good impression of you. She said that her most recent pleasant trip was the afternoon when she sat in the carriage with you, so she suggested that Nick leave the carriage to you.
So that you can have a comfortable place to rest at any time during your future journey. "
Zhang Xiao relaxed his nervous mood a little. It was good that Nick Flamel was fine. To be honest, he really liked the old man. He was humorous and often had "explosive equipment".
Then he remembered the magic carriage mentioned by Nick Flamel, which was a very high-end thing (Volume 6, Chapter 10: Am I qualified enough?)
It is indeed very convenient to have such a carriage. To be frank, in hundreds of years, the carriage has been more comfortable than the most luxurious RVs made by ordinary people.
Thank you Nick for the luxurious carriage!
Zhang Xiao put away the card with satisfaction, and then saw Malfoy grinning foolishly, holding something in his hand. Zhang Xiao quietly walked over and wanted to take a look.
Unexpectedly, the pony was so alert that he immediately stuffed the things back into the bag when he saw Zhang Xiao approaching. Like some rare treasure.
Okay, okay, you wait for the pony!
The restaurant on Christmas Day was particularly lively. Most of the little wizards were celebrating Christmas at Hogwarts for the first time, which was full of novelty for them.
They also had a lot of fun playing with the wizard firecrackers that Harry and others had long been tired of. The huge noise kept echoing in the hall, but no one blamed them.
Even the most serious Professor McGonagall looked at the little wizards' surprised shouts with a smile.
All kinds of small props fell from the firecrackers, and they immediately equipped them, such as various hats. The most outrageous one was a tall pointed hat, which looked like a roadblock cone on the head.
Not only that, the little wizards who received various Christmas gifts would show their friends the new toys they received.
This is great, you know, in the past, they could only show it at the beginning of the school year, and they could only choose one or two items due to the restrictions of etiquette.
In this holiday season where there is no need to separate tables according to the college, several people naturally gathered together, and they all talked about Christmas gifts.
Harry's gifts were similar to those in previous years-except for the Dursleys.
You know, he had only received pennies, postcards and other things from the Dursleys before, but this year Aunt Petunia sent him a men's perfume for the first time, which was expensive, and there was a short note: use it at the dance.
Dudley also sent a gift, a pair of boxing gloves, and Harry knew what it meant.
These two unprecedented gifts made him extremely happy, so much so that the smile never left his face.
Hermione gave Harry a book called It was called "Quidditch Teams in Britain and Ireland"; Ron gave him a wand care kit (they gave each other the same one); Sirius gave him a lightweight pencil sharpener with gadgets that could open various locks and untie various knots.
Mrs. Weasley sent a package every year with a new sweater in it. Now all of them were wearing sweaters knitted by Mrs. Weasley, which looked like a special sweater party.
Zhang Xiao gave him a love book, and Ron also got one, trying to redeem the love views of the two children, especially when he suddenly discovered that Ron actually had the characteristics of a sea king.
Because he had enough self-confidence and money, he only took two or three days to get hot with the senior girl from Beauxbatons, and they even kissed secretly in the abandoned classroom.
By the way, do the Weasleys have a special liking for abandoned classrooms? Bill did it, Charlie did it, Percy did it, George and Fred were not interested in it, and now Ron did it too.
If I remember correctly, Ginny seemed to be like this too?
"Hey, man, what are we going to do next? There are still 10 hours until the Christmas ball."
Ron raised his eyebrows to his "girlfriend" in a casual manner, while holding bacon and bread and sandwiching them together and speaking vaguely.
"Let's go out for a walk? I heard that someone outside is using magic to control snowmen to fight. The one who breaks into pieces first loses."
Harry replied excitedly, and everyone was immediately attracted by this proposal.
So they came to the field outside. The snow was white, and there was thick snow everywhere. There were already many people happily playing snowball fights on the frozen black lake.
They cast magic on the snowballs and played all kinds of tricks that Muggles could never do.
Of course, the snowman fight that Harry mentioned also attracted a large number of onlookers. Not only the little wizards of this school were playing, but also the little wizards of other schools.
Especially in the tropical areas of Vagado and Kastrobus, where snow had never fallen before, people were having a blast, and it was like the southerners seeing snow that Zhang Xiao had seen online in his previous life.
In such a lively atmosphere, everyone was also infected. They found a place with few people by the Black Lake and started to build their own snowmen.
After almost getting ready, Hermione acted as the referee. The little witch's face flushed with excitement, and she shouted loudly:
"Ready? Go!"
Snape was very satisfied with the surprise that his new black robe brought to other professors. Although he looked like he didn't want to see strangers, Moody still highly praised this cloak - a cloak that could reflect bright colors with just a little light was simply the best target in the dark night.
Snape didn't want to argue with him about this kind of evaluation. On the contrary, he spent the whole breakfast watching Flitwick sitting on the floating cloud and Magg who told Strawney that she would take her to the sky for a spin, wondering if his cloak had any new functions, but Zhang forgot to explain them to him.
So he left after breakfast with a heavy heart, wanting to find Zhang to ask him clearly.
At the Black Lake of the school, Snape saw several little wizards gathered together, playing with snowmen, and Zhang was among them.
He was controlling a weird-looking, slender man with eyes like two duck eggs and a small blue light on his chest to pose in this shape and beat up Ron's strange snowman opposite.
Snape paused, but still walked over there. As long as he stood in front of Zhang, he would definitely know what I wanted to ask, right?
As the battle progressed, the snowmen became more and more outrageous. First, Cedric conjured a crystal shaving ice dagger for his snowman, and lied that his snowman's hand looked like this.
His behavior opened the door to the young wizards' fantasy.
Then, people holding long swords, swords and shields, sledgehammers, and various strange weapons appeared one after another.
In the end, Harry, who was having fun, imitated the cannons of the Muggles and conjured a crooked snow cannon, and he manipulated the huge snowball as a cannonball to fire it.
Zhang Xiao immediately discovered Harry's inhuman behavior. He quickly dodged the "cannonball" that was as tall as a person, revealing Snape who had just walked over behind him and had not had time to say anything.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, Snape seemed to have just crawled out of the snow, with thick snow on his body.
"How is it? Hit Zhang--" Harry ran out from behind the cannon with a grin, and he saw Professor Snape standing not far away, covered with snow.
The smile gradually stiffened, and a chill ran down his spine from the top of his head.
"Oops!" Hermione covered her mouth. She didn't dare to imagine how Snape would punish Harry. Not only her, but also the other little wizards who were attracted by the fierce fight shut their mouths tightly.
Like frightened quails, they timidly looked at Snape who was motionless.
"Teacher!" Harry's throat was dry like the sound of stone rubbing.
Snape seemed to have finally woken up from the extreme shock. He touched his face and felt that his body was shaking uncontrollably. This was because of anger.
"Potter!!!!" He said harshly, throwing his hands back, trying to swing his cloak to shake off the snow on his body.
Zhang Xiao, who was not far away from him, had a condensed look in his eyes, stretched out his hand and shouted:
"Professor! Don't!"
But his words were still a step too late. Snape shook off the snow on his body and stared at Potter. Just when he was about to say something harsh, the silk cloak that was soft like water was now spread out with a swish.
Like a huge bat wing, in the shocked eyes of all the little wizards.
With a whoosh, Snape soared into the sky!
So far, he has become a legend.
