The show came to a successful conclusion and the Christmas holidays began. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The students left the school in a hurry, all the dormitories were emptied, the elves were in charge of cleaning, the older students were busy looking for jobs, and the younger students could have a happy and laid-back Christmas.

Luna and Qiu both went home, and after Xie An got off the train, he made an appointment with Qiu and went to his home Bentley. The car drove steadily on the streets of London, although there was no magic attached to the car, and the fine and perfect workmanship made this valuable luxury car no worse than a broomstick. Britain's current prime minister is a powerful female prime minister, and Shea Ann once met. Before returning to London, Xie An had already written to the Earl.

Count Lee took part in the renovation of Canary Harbor, invested a lot of money, and had a great deal of power in this huge project. At present, the construction of Canary Port has begun, and the Canadian consortium intends to compete for this project, but in the end it was defeated by a mysterious consortium led by Count Lee. Earl Lee was not interested in the project, but Xie An's persuasion father must find a way to deal with the rights of the Muggle world, so that he could gain more power in the wizarding world.

The wizarding world is afraid of being exposed to the Muggle world, and if Count Lee can become a giant Muggle force, then he can protect the interests of the Lee family in the wizarding world. The renovation project of Canary Harbor is huge, and it is not something that can be won by one Li family. During this time, the Li family relied on some background and close contacts with the ancient East, and was very successful in this regard.

The redevelopment of Canary Harbor involves the interests of all parties, and it is no less complex than managing a city. Ever since Earl Lee took some of the project, he spent a lot of time directly in Canary Harbor. Xie An originally wanted to go back to Li Manor directly, but after thinking about it, he would come to Canary Harbor first, he wanted to see how the project was being built now.

The Bentley was parked in front of a nondescript five-story apartment, which was the temporary office of Earl Lee. This condominium has a long history, and legend has it that it is the property of the Indian company, which has long since disappeared, leaving only this ancient building, which tells the history of the gods.

The driver opened the door for Xie An, who had already changed into Muggle clothes at this time, with a down jacket on the top, jeans on the bottom, and a pair of gray sneakers. Xie An is a mixed-race child, and because he has been exercising, he has developed rapidly, and he already has the height of a high school student at this time. The doorman saw a child dressed like a student enter, and stopped Xie An a little strangely.

"I'm sorry, but this is private territory and no outsiders are allowed to visit. The white security uncle blocked Xie An's way.

Xie An glanced at the security uncle, the security uncle fell into a trance, Xie An entered the apartment without any explanation.

After reaching the fifth floor, some powerful magical enchantments began to work, and two middle-aged men who looked like wizards were standing in the corridor talking, and when they saw Xie An appear, they both showed vigilant looks.

"I'm Andrew Lee, and I'm here to find my father. Although Xie An didn't care about those ordinary Muggles, for his family's bodyguards and wizards, he didn't want to clash with them for no reason.

"It's Andrew, I've heard of you, didn't you go to Hogwarts school, how did you get here?" asked one of the white, wizards who looked not too old.

"School is on vacation, so I'm here for a few days. Xie An smiled with satisfaction at the vigilance of the two wizards, it seemed that both of them were very experienced wizards, maybe they were also former Aurors.

"By the way, it's almost Christmas, haha, look, we've all been in this building, we're all too confused!" said another black-skinned wizard with a smile, waving his wand and tapping at the void a few times, Xie An felt invisible magic fluctuations coming from the void, and after a while, the two wizards smiled at Xie An and invited him to enter the fifth floor.

The fifth floor looks like a wizard's territory, there are still a few movable witch paintings hanging in the corridor, the carpet is soft and beautiful, and every room seems to be protected by magic. In such a place, security seems to be no problem.

Arriving at a room at the end of the corridor, Xie An knocked on the door, and the Earl himself opened the door, smiling at his son.

"Oh, Andrew, my pride, you're finally back!" The Earl hugged his son without hesitation, Xie An was a little unaccustomed, but still stiffly let his father hug him.

The Earl's office looks gorgeous and bright, the windows have been enlarged a lot, the floor-to-ceiling transparent glass cannot block the sunlight, the antique furniture with wool carpets imported from Persia, several classical Chinese landscape paintings, and the work of a Chinese calligrapher, the whole office looks low-key and noble.

Xie An looked at his father's office, and the earl looked at his son.

"Andrew, how are you doing at school? I've heard that there was a big terrorist attack in Hogsmeade. The Earl asked happily as he sat down on the soft sofa.

"Dad, didn't I write to you about the school? There is nothing to say about Hogsmeade either. Draco Malfoy played a key role in this, and the Dark Lord seemed to be helping in it. Xie An detoured to the window and looked out through the glass. Today is a fine sunny day, there are many pedestrians on the street, and pedestrians in a hurry are busy rushing.

"Hey, I've heard about what you said, but there are really too many things about the canary during this time, and I can only leave most of the things to your mother. I'm in charge of the Muggle side. The Prime Minister also talked to me some time ago about hoping that our Li family would increase their investment in canaries, and I am thinking about this during this time. The Lord Earl knew that his son was not an ordinary person, and he did not treat him as a child, and when he heard Xie An say something about the Dark Lord, he also said worriedly.

"If there is a war between Muggles and wizards now, who do you think will win?" Xie An asked instead of answering the Earl's question.

The Earl glanced at his son in surprise, thought for a moment and said, "This is possible, besides, wizards are actually still humans, and without Muggles, it is difficult for wizards to survive alone." And those thermonuclear weapons, as well as biochemical wizards, also have an effect on wizards, if the two sides really don't die, I'm afraid that the other side will not be happy. ”

"I think so too. After the Dark Lord attacked Hogsmeade, our plans went awry, and I kept wondering why wizards were cut off from the Muggle world. Ever since that act was enacted in the seventeenth century, wizards have completely abandoned their Muggle identities and considered themselves to have become another noble creature, which is strange because in that direction it looks like wizards have renounced their rule over Muggles!"

"Muggles are not small, and the storm caused by those who oppose wizarding has hurt a lot of people. ”

"Come on, Dad, where would a true wizard be afraid of this? Those wizards also took pleasure in being burned, except for the children who were neglected by careless parents, and that wizard would be afraid of these poor Muggles. I heard that the U.S. Wizarding Congress is working on a Wizarding Registration Act to try to give limited exposure to the wizarding world, what do you think of this?"

"The Wizard Registration Plan is just a joke, even the Ministry of Magic itself doesn't know how many wizards there are, and many horrible wizards don't want to deal with the Ministry of Magic at all, don't forget Gellert Grindelwald, the Dark Lord of Europe, his whereabouts are now unknown. The Earl took a sip of tea, thought for a moment and said.

"Many wizards don't want to be tied down at all, they have magic that Muggles can't even think of, and where would they want to deal with Muggles. In this way, the previously signed bill separating wizards from the Muggle world was actually the result of a compromise. Xie An knew that the prosperity of magic would inevitably lead to a winner-takes-all situation, and the strong people who mastered powerful abilities would become more and more difficult to get along with.

"That's it, son, don't make things too simple, Dumbledore himself saw this matter most clearly, he went from a hard-line wizard who ruled Muggles to a conservative today, but it took a long time. The Earl said.

"Well, maybe I'm thinking too simply. But Dad, have you ever thought about changing this situation?"

"Andrew, I understand what you are trying to say, I have seriously considered your opinion in the letter. Our Li family is very prosperous today, but in the whole world, it is still too small! What you said, Dad can only leave it to you. Now I want to leave you a strong foundation, and when you grow up, you can realize your ideals. But I warn you, that's tiring!"

Xie An did not answer, in the story of the three brothers, Xie An played the young wizard who stole the Elder's Staff, and Xie An had been wondering why Dumbledore had designated himself to play this role.

Exactly who is holding the Elder's Staff can only be guessed at this time. Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald, and the wand was said to have belonged to Dumbledore at this time, but Gellert Grindelwald, who had the Elder Staff, actually lost, which in itself did not match the curse of the Elder Staff.

Xie An sat down beside the Earl and took out a poplar staff, from which white smoke erupted, which quickly filled the room.

"How's the Philosopher's Stone doing?" Xie An asked.

"No! I've looked all over Europe, and no one would dare to easily promise to help us deal with this. "Lord Earl does not dare to let the Philosopher's Stone appear in England, so he can only go to the European continent to find help.

"It seems that everyone is still very scared of this thing, if it doesn't work, leave it to me, I studied the six pages of the book some time ago, and it seems that the energy source of one of the sealing formations can be used as a magic stone, so it's better to try." Xie An said.

Lord Earl thought for a moment and said, "The Philosopher's Stone is sealed in another dimension, which can ensure that the magic detection cannot be found, and once it is taken out, it is not guaranteed. ”

"Don't be cowardly, Dad, I will deal with the magic circle first, and then inlay the magic stone into it, so that I can use this magic circle to seal the magic stone itself. Xie An explained.

"That's fine, okay, let's not talk about that, Andrew, what are you going to do in the summer? stay here to help Dad, or go back to spend the holidays with your mother?"

"Let's be here for a few days, I've made an appointment with Hermione, and she'll be in London in a few days to play with me. ”

London is far more bustling than any other city in the world, and Muggles from all over the world make pilgrimages to the city.

Shea and Hermione walked along the Thames together, both young people, and the Christmas atmosphere was contagious to everyone, and the laughter of young people was constantly coming. The River Thames did not freeze, London was not covered in smog in winter, and the sky looked slightly white. The white cruise ship sails quietly on the river, and the tourists on it wave to the shore from time to time.

The two listened to the singing of the roadside singer together for a while, Xie An liked it, and Hermione just listened quietly. After singing a few songs, the soul singer probably felt that the audience was too small, so he packed up his guitar and went to the subway station.

Shayne and Hermione continued to wander along the River Thames, and when the winter wind blew, Hermione couldn't help but pull her hat down a bit.

"Andrew, how are you going to spend Christmas?" Hermione wore a cashmere hat and put her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, looking a little mature, but her immature face still couldn't hide it.

"I've been wandering around London for the past few days, hoping to find something good to make a fortune. Xie An replied.

"Why did you start wanting to make money at a young age?" Hermione said in surprise.

"Of course, do you have any good ideas? Xie An said lightly.

"Ha, Andrew, let's enjoy life during the holidays, and besides, I don't want to be a businessman. It's hard to join this magical magical world, and you can't waste your time on boring things. Hermione leaned against the railing by the river, looked at the tall buildings opposite, and said with emotion.

"Actually, it's all the same, and the wizarding world is pretty much the same. By the way, Hermione, how is your research on the diary? Since that time, you haven't told me the results?" Xie An said after a moment's thought.

"This matter, because of the Hogsmeade matter, I don't dare to study it in the lounge, let alone the dormitory. But this time I seriously recalled the previous events, and it seems that Ginny is the key to this. If we could know what happened to Ginny, we would be able to tell what the diary was. Hermione said.

"Well, do you know where Ginny's house is? Xie An said.

Hermione glanced at Xie An, "You and Ginny don't know each other well, it's rude to visit someone like this recklessly." ”

"Hah, but I know the Weasley twins very well, can't I play with them? Xie An said with a smile.

Hermione thought for a moment and blushed a little and said, "Andrew, let's go after Christmas, I think, I think the two of us can spend this Christmas together." ”

Xie An glanced at Hermione in surprise and replied, "Yes, why don't you just live in the Canary Apartment, there are a lot of empty rooms there." "The rooms on the fifth floor are empty, and they can only live for wizards, and Hermione lives here, just to help her study the six-page magic circle. (To be continued.) )
