Chapter 158: Can't Go to School Forever
At the end of November, Darren watched Ravenclaw defeat Hufflepuff in the Quidditch arena, which seemed to prove Darren's previous judgment that Gryffindor would lose just because they were unlucky, and they still had the advantage in overall strength, otherwise they would not have won those fifty points.

This gave Gryffindor a new chance to win the Champions Cup, as long as they didn't lose a single game from now on, so Harry went to the team's training in the same way as last year......
And Darren's foreign language has also made quite good progress, at least he can read texts written in Serbian and Bosnia, although his oral ability has not been tested, but at least it is not a big deal to be deaf and dumb.
In other words, Darren has worked hard enough in the past two months, and almost all his time and energy have been spent on it, if he could have worked so hard back then, then Tsinghua University and Peking University would not have picked casually?
In the midst of the busyness, the Christmas holidays are approaching, and the professors are back to decorating for Christmas, but this year, unlike previous years, almost all the students are leaving Hogwarts, because Harry has received an invitation from Black to spend Christmas at 12 Grimmauld Place, and Darren and Lupin are among them.
With the form that Darren had given to Professor McGonagall earlier, Professor McGonagall had agreed to have Lupin sign to take Darren out of Hogwarts, and the blank form signed by the headmaster of the orphanage, Darren still had several copies on hand, apparently Professor McGonagall thought that it was better to have a professor with Darren than a Muggle who didn't know anything.
Harry and Darren, the two most unsettled masters, have found a place to go, and Hermione and Ron are naturally not a problem, and they have "gone back to their own homes, each looking for their own mother", which just happened to give Hermione a good rest for a while, and by the way, she has eaten up all the bags of food that Darren gave her, and the last few weeks have been topped by the bread and jam she took from the table.
Darren and Harry were on the Hogwarts Express for the first time, and the last time Harry went to Black's house for Christmas, it was Floo.
After leaving Hogwarts, the snow was white everywhere, and the mountains and fields were covered in snow, blending with the fog that permeated it, making it impossible to distinguish the boundaries between heaven and earth.
Despite the cold wind howling outside, it was hot in the carriage, Harry and the others were happily discussing how to spend the Christmas holidays, especially Harry, he had never had such a Christmas in his life, last time he followed Blake to nest at 12 Grimmauld Place for the winter, and this year Harry plans to go out with Blake.
As for Darren, he was discussing with Lupin about his plans for the holidays, he had to have the help of an adult wizard, who made him a minor and couldn't use magic?
"You know how to make a portkey, right?"
"Mentos, of course, it's not a difficult spell, but you have to apply to the Ministry of Magic's Portkey Office for registration, otherwise the consequences will be very serious," Lupin said, as usual, "It's not enough to take your life." ”
"Do you need a portkey?"
"Yes, it's better to use a door key, otherwise it will be more troublesome and very inefficient. ”
"Are you going on a trip?"
"Oh no," Darren thought for a moment, "it's a plan, a plan for my future, are you interested?"
"I signed Professor McGonagall to keep an eye on you during the holidays," Lupin said with a smile.
"Great, I knew you were going to help me. ”
"I'm curious what the hell you're trying to do, though, and you're going to need a portkey. ”
"It's not just the portkey, it's the frequent use of the portkey, do you think the Ministry of Magic will approve it?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem, because the spell to make a portkey is extremely simple, and many wizards will abuse it, so the Ministry of Magic will strengthen the management as much as possible, just imagine, if you make a Galleon as a portkey, set the destination in the middle of the channel, and then drop it on the road, how much trouble it will cause to the wizard who picks it up, not every wizard can identify the portkey normally, even if its characteristics are very obvious, but I think it will still be approved if you apply normally. ”
Hearing Lupin's answer, Darren breathed a sigh of relief, although even if there is no portkey available, his plan can be implemented, but the efficiency will be greatly reduced, I'm afraid it will only be a fraction, in long-distance transportation, ordinary people's tools are still too slow, how can there be magic to come.
"I'll tell you about the details at 12 Grimmauld Place, after all, this plan has certain risks. ”
"Okay, but if the stakes are too high, I'll stop you. ”
"But the rewards are also high, very high, otherwise, why do you think I'd take the risk. ”
Finally, the train stopped at the nine-and-three-quarters platform of King's Cross Station, where they had changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and a shriveled old guard stood guard at the ticket gate, allowing only two or three people to pass at a time, to avoid a large crowd of people coming in and out of the solid walls at the same time and attracting the attention of ordinary people.
There were already people waiting for them at the station, and Darren saw the Weasleys, the Grants, and Sirius Black.
Although they were elated by the holidays, they were reluctant to part for a long time, Hermione first went with her parents to take the bus, then the Weasley family vanished through the apparition, followed by Darren and them.
Kreacher had cleaned up the house and had Christmas decorations hanging everywhere, and although it looked very old and weird, it didn't dampen Daren's appetite in the slightest, Kreacher's cooking skills didn't say anything.
After a hearty welcome feast, they drank hot tea and chatted about the holiday arrangements, Harry wanted Blake to show him around, at least some Galleons, it seemed that Blake would be happy to oblige, Kreacher offered some suggestions, all pure-blood family Christmas arrangements, but no one was interested.
Lupin glanced at Darren, Darren knew that it was time to tell his plan, he couldn't do it alone anyway, it would be best if Blake could also get involved, as for Harry, it would be enough to pay for it, although it was not very necessary, at least it would not allow him to make trouble.
"You all know about my situation, so I think I should have planned for myself sooner," Darren said, and the smile on Lupin's face vanished.
"Hogwarts will provide you with tuition and materials to get you through school," apparently Harry didn't understand Darren's words.
"Yes, I don't have to think about that at Hogwarts, but after that, I can't go to Hogwarts forever. (To be continued.) )
