The two spent a merry Christmas together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Autumn wrote to Shea and asked him what the Christmas arrangements were, and Shea agreed to Hermione, only to shirk Qiu's invitation. The Earl had been very busy, and at Christmas he received an invitation from the Muggle Prime Minister to attend an important banquet. Luna wanted to spend Christmas with her dad and didn't come to London. That way, Hermione and Shea can have a Christmas for two.

Xie An has been fighting with the hell in his brain since he came to this world, and he has never thought that he can take a good look at the world quietly.

The Lee family was an ancient British aristocrat who had their own estates of their own. After Hermione spent a nervous night alone in the apartment, the next morning, both of them got up early, breakfast was already prepared by the house-elves, Hermione may be the first time to live in such a magical family, not too used to the care of the elves, a few times a little embarrassed.

The Earl smiled and talked to Hermione, asking about Hermione's family, Hermione was a little nervous, but nothing went wrong. The four Aurors ate in another parlor, and what appeared to be the same thing as the Earl was eating, steaks, fruit, and bread. Xie An's food is the only difference, he likes to eat Chinese food, which is known to the elves of the Li family. Xie An instructed the elf to serve Hermione her own steamed buns and porridge, and Hermione was very curious to taste Xie An's breakfast.

After a hurried breakfast, Hermione suggested that the two of them should go to the sights of London. Hermione's family was not from London, and she hadn't had time to visit the Muggle world since attending Hogwarts. Not to mention Xie An, he doesn't like to waste time. Hermione cherished the time she spent alone with Shea, neither of them wanted to be disturbed, the two did not take the family car, and after greeting the Earl, Shayne and Hermione set off.

Shea Ann had never been to a royal palace in England. This ancient and majestic square building is very luxurious, and what was once the private domain of the royal family is now open to the public, although the royal family still lives in it and can be visited by the general public. As a young wizard, although Xie An can't use magic blatantly, a little trick is enough to shield the detection of the Ministry of Magic.

The British royal family was an interesting one that agreed to a constitutional monarchy and made Britain the beginning of modern Muggle world civilization.

Construction of Buckingham Palace only began at the time when wizards were separated from the Muggle world, so there are not many traces of magic in this palace. The palace has not been built for a short time, and it can be said that it has existed for as long as the Ministry of Magic. After many renovations, the palace still looks beautiful and neat. The façade had been repaired in the last few decades, and the hundreds of rooms inside were divided into different uses, and Hermione's favorite thing was the beautiful paintings and real busts, which Xie Ann didn't know much about, but he knew that the bright-looking mahogany furniture must be worth a lot. Both were British, so naturally they didn't need any guides, and Hermione didn't want anyone to bother them.

Shay, who was not too sensitive to art, struggled to understand the value of these priceless works of art with Hermione's help. From a wizard's point of view, the immobile paintings seem a bit dull, as well as the strange busts that would come to life like the Hogwarts statues if the Transfiguration Spell was cast on them. Hermione excitedly admired these precious artifacts from a Muggle's point of view, but Shay, accustomed to the wizarding mindset, only wondered how much Transfiguration would give these paintings and sculptures a new purpose.

It took a whole morning to go through hundreds of rooms, and some of them had to use some small magic tricks to enter the rooms that were forbidden to tourists, and the two wizards did not mean to be tired, Hermione blushed, and had already handed her hat to Xie An.

Out of the palace gate, Hermione and Shea returned to the square in front of the starting point palace, where the statue of Victory stood on a high marble platform, glittering in the sun. Shea looked at the beautiful goddess for a moment, and Hermione read a pamphlet full of stories about the palace. The queen occasionally came to live here, and all the royal palaces were patrolled by guards. The Empire on which the sun never sets once almost ruled the world, and from ancient times to the present, with the exception of Rome and the Qin and Han dynasties, no dynasty has ever been as close to that goal as the British.

The front gate was magnificent, and the golden decoration of the outer fence was majestic, and Muggle tourists from all over the world rushed to take pictures, and no one noticed that a few cars had entered the palace in a discreet manner.

Hermione originally wanted to go to the Royal Garden to play for a while, but Xie An suddenly said, "Do you think the Queen of England knows about the existence of the wizarding world?"

"You know, every new Minister of the Ministry of Magic takes time to visit the Muggle Minister when he takes office. Muggle higher-ups should have known about wizards. Hermione replied uncertainly.

"If we use magic to enter the backyard of the palace now, will we be able to meet the queen? I just noticed that the queen has just returned to the palace. Xie An said.

Hermione looked at Shea in surprise, she hadn't thought of doing that yet, she hadn't thought magic could give her such a privilege.

"I don't think so, the Ministry of Magic won't let us try. Hermione said nervously.

"I'm also curious, what would happen if a member of the Wizengamot went crazy and wanted to assassinate the Queen?

"What you're saying is terrible, if you were to become the Dark Lord in the future, would you do it?" asked Hermione seriously.

"No, Hermione, I'll help you become Minister of Magic, not make me the Dark Lord. In my opinion, rather than spending my power on contacting the very few werewolves and trolls, it is better to take direct control of the Muggle world. Xie An said noncommittally.

"Andrew, your idea is terrible. Can't you think of something else? We're at Christmas, can't we think about Santa Claus?" Hermione said.

"Hermione, Santa Claus can't decide who will run the world, and only if you truly become the leader of the future wizarding world, I can believe that our wizarding world will not die. It's so sad right now. Xie An said coldly.

Penelope Crivat is a witch with strong ambitions, but this uninspired ambition is similar to what all previous leaders thought, Shayne needs Hermione's kindness and Muggle background, no Muggle wizard has ever been able to be Minister of Magic, and Hermione's election will change history.

"Andy, you may be right, but now we can have Christmas in peace, shall we?" Hermione said with some ambivalence.

"Well, since we can't visit the Queen, what are we staying here for. I have all these things in my house, and if it weren't for the special title of the palace, it wouldn't look as interesting as our manor. If you have this time, you might as well go home and play with you. Xie An complained.

"Andy, you should stay with me. Our next stop is Westminster Abbey, which must make a lot of sense to go there at this time. "Christmas is different from the Chinese New Year in the East, where the gods of the Orient originate from the Muggles themselves, and most of them are sanctified in the flesh. Christmas in England celebrates the birth of a god who is a natural deity, not an acquired merit deity.

Westminster is a Catholic church, such a place is obviously not so friendly to wizards, the so-called saints in history have a hateful attitude towards wizards, but for Shay'an, a faithless doomsday human, he doesn't care about this at all.

As one of the three most famous churches in the United Kingdom, Westminster Abbey is naturally gorgeous and noble, the coronation of kings has been held here, many members of the royal family have also held weddings here, and a woman from the Earl of Lee's family once married a prince here.

Hermione was very excited to be here at this particular time. Countless Muggles from far and wide kept vigil here, waiting for Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve carols were heard in the church, and everyone prayed for Mass together. Hermione, as the witch with the most potential, also silently prayed to the sky, which made Xie An feel a little like laughing.

Do wizards have faith, is the Patronus Charm a manifestation of their faith, and have wizards like the Dark Lord or Dumbledore longed for the favor of the gods of magic?

Xie An couldn't think of an answer. Hermione hadn't even thought about it. Muggles began to pray, cheerful Christmas carols stopped, and the atmosphere in the church became quiet and solemn.

With a few crisp bells, an elderly priest, as the chief priest, staggered up to the golden altar, and after he recited a scripture, everyone ended the entrance ceremony with a chorus of Amen.

Wizards also have such rituals, but instead of praying to the gods, they open the link to the mysterious forces of this world through magic and incantations. The Dark Lord has mastered a powerful sacrificial ritual that can be reborn with the Philosopher's Stone, and now Xie An has also found a powerful ritual from the six-page book that can extract the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

Shayne and Hermione followed the other Muggles to their feet, but this was ceremonial, and they did not begin to pray and read the Gospel along with the Celebrant to welcome Christ's resurrection.

Westminster is also a state funeral mausoleum where legendary Muggles are buried that will not be resurrected!

Xie An watched with some helplessness as Hermione excitedly looked at the graves of one Muggle celebrity after another, as if they had surpassed the achievements of wizards. The blessing ceremony lasted for a long time, and the clergy carried a bag and wanted to collect "offerings" from Muggles.

Of course, the dedication at this time was mostly symbolic, and this huge church, Sheen, who had heard the Earl say, cost thousands of pounds a day to maintain it, which was a large expense. The clergy walked up to Shayne and Hermione, Hermione happily took out some change and made an offering, and Shayan mischievously took out a gold Galleon and put it into the clergyman's bag.

I don't know if God will accept the sorcerer's offerings.

Later there is also the sacrament, which symbolizes salvation. The Muggles lined up to receive the bread in an orderly manner, Sheaan was not interested, and Hermione did not line up, but instead relied on magic tricks to enter some of the core areas of the church.

After a good tour, when he came out, the clergy was standing at the door of the church to shake hands with everyone and say goodbye, offering Christmas wishes, Xie An refused the handshake with a blank face and rudeness, in exchange for a slightly surprised look from the clergy. Hermione glanced at Xie An reproachfully, and politely shook hands with the clergy and said goodbye.

It was midnight, and the streets were deserted at all, and the reveling crowd continued to revelry with Christmas carols. London is one of the world's greatest metropolises because of the richness of its cultural architecture that will make you feel like you've seen the whole world when you come to London. Because of this, although the family business is all over London, Xie An, who has never had a deep understanding of London, never knew that the essence of London lies in quiet neighborhoods.

Once subjects of the empire on which the sun never sets, the city was the center of the world, and countless Muggles came to the city with a pilgrimage mood. Even the wizard's Ministry of Magic was reluctant to move out of this noisy and magnificent city.

Hermione and Shayne, as wizards, are naturally the most special group in this city. There are countless wizards who hide in Muggles and remain undiscovered, and there are many wizards who are reluctant to join the wizarding world even though they know that they have a great talent for magic.

After the two came out of Westminster, Hermione didn't show any signs of tiredness, but looked even more excited, and she had to pull Shea to continue to follow the crowd to continue the party. Xie An didn't like this kind of excitement, and felt a little empty, so he proposed to go to the Tower of London to play together.

During the day, when he saw the Queen, he suddenly remembered Anne Boleyn.

The portrait of the legendary witch once suggested to Penelo Crevat, who was undoubtedly the most vocal in the discussion of the queen. As the queen's lady-in-waiting, Anne rejected the king's courtship after being favored by the king of England at the time. But Anne eventually couldn't resist the pursuit of the powerful king, and the two secretly began to cheat.

Originally, this witch did not care about the threat of the king with her powerful witchcraft, but at this time, some forces in the wizarding world began to threaten Anne's safety, and Anne had no choice but to flee into the Muggle world. The poor witch was not treated fairly by the wizarding world, and at that time the wizard still existed in the wilderness, and followed the principle of respecting the strong.

Hermione originally just wanted to stay with Shay-An, listened to Shea-An's suggestion, and did not object. As a powerful wizard, the whole world is open to it, and the Tower of London is no exception.

Naturally, no one visited the prison on Christmas night, and although the two young wizards were young, they did not master the magic at all. The two wizards entered the Tower of London in great shape.

As soon as he entered the tower, Xie An already felt a distorted magic fluctuation, as if something was wrong, Hermione and Xie An glanced at each other, it seemed that today was the right time.

A raven stood on the floor of a dark hallway, quietly watching the two men. (To be continued.) )
