Well, I was mistaken, when I said that 67 was not hitting the street, and that didn't give me a positive answer.

Five days and two watches, it seems that my book is currently recorded, and last week it was five days and three watches.

Next week will definitely not be a five-day watch.

――――――――――

December is here, Christmas is just around the corner, and in a few days Professor McGonagall will begin to count the list of go-to lists.

Harry was the only one who planned to stay this year, and Ron's parents didn't travel abroad to see his eldest brother and second brother this year, so he had to go home for the holidays, although he wasn't very reluctant.

Therefore, Ron invited Harry to go back with him, and his family liked Harry anyway.

"This ......"

Harry was still a little hesitant, he still couldn't let go of it at the end of the day, but it was much better than Neville.

"I'm going to write to my mom right now, and she'll be happy. ”

“…… Well, I hope it doesn't bother you. ”

So this matter was decided so happily, and everyone was happy.

Neville naturally wants to go back, and in addition to the holidays, he also has to go to the Ollivanders wand shop to renew his wand.

After the statistics were completed, Neville and the others discovered something very abnormal, that is, Malfoy actually chose to stay in school this year.

Not long after Colin Creevey's attack, Harry almost thoughtfully assumed that Malfoy had something to do with the Chamber of Secrets, thinking about the handwriting on the walls and who Malfoy was.

"Do you have proof?" Hermione said, "I don't like Malfoy either, but I don't think it's good to be suspicious of people, last year's ......"

"That's right, I don't have proof. Harry explained, "But I'm going to look for evidence, and I need your help." ”

"Have you figured out how to do it?"

"Nope. Harry replied simply, "But now is a good opportunity, he must have chosen to stay in school with something he intends to do, we can ......"

Ron interrupted Harry, "Wait a minute, didn't you say you'd be coming home with me for the holidays this year?"

"That's really a problem......"

Harry found it difficult to do, because Ron had already told Mrs. Weasley about it, and if Harry hadn't gone, then Ron would have been miserable.

"Or don't go back. Harry said.

Ron rolled his eyes, didn't say anything, and just stared at Harry with disdain.

"Well, it looks like we're going to miss a good opportunity. Harry said regretfully.

"Maybe there's a way. Hermione said slowly, lowering her voice, "Of course, it's not easy to do, and it's dangerous, very dangerous, and we're probably going to break fifty school rules." ”

Hermione, or rather smart people, always had a bad habit of talking, and they liked to flaunt their knowledge, maybe they didn't think so, but it was very unpleasant.

Ron was upset, but by the time Hermione had finished, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Hermione's plan was to concoct a potion called a polyjuice potion and disguise herself as a Slytherin student to talk to Malfoy.

Truth be told, this plan is really full of slots, and the rest of it aside, the mere act of talking to Malfoy already shows that Hermione has the same suspicion as Harry.

If you say yes, you can't just suspect others?

Saying don't ......

Then again, Malfoy was a real failure, whether he had anything to do with it or not.

After hearing Hermione's plan, both Harry and Ron thought it was feasible and planned to do so, but the problem was that they needed to get a copy of "Potions of Power" that needed to be signed by the teacher before they could borrow it.

And even if they could get it, the materials and time needed to make the potions were a problem, and they had to fix the book before Christmas, and then use Christmas time to gather materials.

Neville's perspective on problems is relatively unique, and things like Huadian are often found, and this time is no exception. He hadn't said a word the whole time, but now he asked a question.

"Is there a potion out there? Maybe we can just go and buy a bottle. ”

"I'm not sure about that, but where are you going to buy it?" Hermione frowned, her knowledge of the wizarding world was limited to books, "Who of you knows where it's sold?"

"Diagon Alley maybe. ”

Ron was very uncertain, judging from the effect of this potion, it should not be the kind of rotten street. It may be easy to find the material, but the finished product, that is really a problem.

Harry hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe we can try Tumbledown Alley." ”

Tumbledown Alley isn't a good place, dangerous and dark, full of dark magic shops. It is adjacent to Diagon Alley, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and is despised by most wizards.

There's a high chance you'll find a compound potion there, but just a few kids going in there might have to tear down the alley for Neville to get out.

As Harry struggled with them, Neville asked a second question.

"Why are we going to ask Malfoy? Wouldn't it be better to ask Colin?"

"He's petrified and hospitalized, don't you know?"

But the headmaster said that a powerful restorative made of mandrake might be able to restore them. Neville pulled out his notebook, and sure enough, he had recorded it, "We just need to wake Colin up and ask him about it." ”

Harry Ron Hermione: "......"

You're so Diao, does your family know?

Neville didn't know how much of a shock he had given Harry, and continuing his train of thought, he scratched his head and said, "Powerful Healing Potion, maybe I can get it, St. Mungo's Hospital will definitely have it, and it just so happens that I'm going there too." ”

"That would be better. Harry let out a long sigh of relief, so he could wait until after Christmas.

Unlike the others' sudden enlightenment, Neville had a third question on his mind, but he still didn't say it after all.

"Didn't the headmaster try to get a batch of powerful restorative potions from outside the school?"

I'm afraid that only Dumbledore himself can answer this question.

===================

Dumbledore, who was already a hundred years old, had only a few surviving family members at that time, and some of them did not have a very good relationship with him.

Because of this, when he received a package with the words "Christmas gift" on it, he was quite surprised.

"It's just over a week before Christmas......

Muttering quietly, Dumbledore opened the package, revealing a greeting card, a letter, and a small jewelry box.

I looked at the greeting card, and there was only a simple blessing on it, and the scribbled font showed the nonchalance of the writer. Dumbledore looked at the letter, a smile on his face, he opened the unsealed envelope, pulled out the letter paper and began to read.

The content of the letter can basically be seen as a conscientious little employee's confession to the domineering and unreasonable big boss. Reading between the lines, you can see his complaints about his work and his dissatisfaction with his wandering life...... In the end, he asked for a raise and a month off.

"Salary increase, vacation ......"

Dumbledore smiled, then picked up the jewelry box and looked at it in front of him, he didn't open it because he already knew what was inside.

If this thing hadn't been contaminated, it would have been the best birthday present in the world.
