Gradually, Christmas is approaching.

As soon as William walked outside the lounge with his books in hand, he saw Tom Riddle appear in front of his lounge, with Abrazas Malfoy following him.

"Come in and say."

William said, opened the room, let the two in, and when the two of them sat down, prepared a cup of black tea for each of them.

Since the last punishment, Slytherin's "little snake" has become a lot more obedient, as long as it is the homework he orders, all the staff will always help each other to complete it together, and it seems to be harmonious on the surface, as for the private swearing, fighting, noisy, etc., there is Abraxas Malfoy, the prefect of the year, control, can always solve it in the first time, saving William a lot of effort.

Of course, the most unbelievable thing is that since the last game, Tom Riddle and Abraxas Malfoy have been together every day for unknown reasons, and even Tom Riddle has refused to smuggle home on the weekend.

Therefore, the two of them appeared together in front of William's lounge, William was not surprised, but only surprised why they were looking for him at this time.

"What's going on?"

William sat down, took a sip from his teacup, and said.

"We want to go to Hollywood."

After Tom Riddle finished speaking, he looked at William with a determined expression.

"'We'?"

William was stunned for a moment, and his eyes shifted from Tom Riddle to Abraxas Malfoy, for Abraxas Malfoy, William didn't know much, but William knew that Abraxas Malfoy didn't look like a person who would make such a willful decision at all.

"It's us, Professor Stoker, that I want to be Tom's agent."

Abraxas Malfoy said, smiling reservedly at William, then turning his gaze to Tom Riddle.

William was stunned for a moment, and he looked back and forth between Tom Riddle and Abraxas Malfoy for a moment, as if he had suddenly discovered something.

"If that's your hope, then I'll agree, but it's the same one, Tom."

After William finished speaking, he put down the teacup and repeated to the two of them again, "As long as it doesn't delay your learning and growth, I will support you whatever you like." ”

"We won't let you down, Professor Stoker," said Abraxas Malfoy, hesitated for a moment, and said to William, "I am going to Hollywood, and I can not tell my father, I know he will not be able to take it." ”

"Of course," William nodded, "I can keep it a secret for you, but you have to promise me that you will protect yourself, after all, you are both minors now, aren't you?" ”

"We know this," Abraxas Malfoy said, seeing William agree, the smile on his face widened.

"But what are you going to do exactly?" William asked.

"I'm going to invest in a movie and put Tom in the lead role," said Abraxas Malfoy, who has a lot of money, "and my mother left me a private fund with enough money to invest in the film." ”

"That's a good idea," said William, nodding his head, "and if you have any trouble, you can come to me." ”

"We got it." Abrazas Malfoy nodded at William.

Seeing that the two were so well-behaved in front of him, William sighed, for Slytherin's character, William is still clear, from the beginning William didn't want to restrain Tom Riddle, wanted him to spend his childhood happily, now he doesn't have the sadness and anger in the original book, he doesn't want to destroy the world, he doesn't divide himself, this is already good.

Therefore, William has never objected to what Tom Riddle wants to do, but William is still a little worried about this thing that they used the Transfiguration Charm to develop in Hollywood, after all, he doesn't know many friends in the United States, and this matter is not easy to involve more people.

"I'll find you a guardian there to take care of, and I'll communicate the fireplaces on both sides so you can go back and forth in an instant."

William said, turning his gaze back to Tom Riddle, "It's almost Christmas, Aunt Hudson misses you so much, remember to go back and see him then." ”

"I know, I'll definitely go when the time comes."

Tom Riddle reassures.

To this, William nodded.

The three of them talked about the specifics for a while, and Tom Riddle and Abraxas Malfoy left, while William sat alone on the couch thinking about the presents he had to give everyone for Christmas.

According to the past Christmas, the Stoke family will always invite relatives and friends of all sizes to come over for Christmas, at that time, there are not only all kinds of food, but also endless gifts.

However, gifts are always given and received, since William has received gifts, be sure to send out gifts, in previous years, William except for some of his friends, the rest of the gifts were prepared by the servants, and now he is afraid that he needs to prepare his own, however, this year compared to previous years, there are only so many gifts to prepare, and it is not troublesome.

In the blink of an eye, noon was approaching, William went back to his room, and then went downstairs to prepare lunch, because Watson was on duty in the hospital today, so he only needed to prepare his and Sherlock's.

By the time William had finished lunch, Sherlock had already come down, wearing his blue pajamas and reading the newspaper.

"You're going out in a moment."

Sherlock glanced at William, then turned his gaze to the newspaper and said.

"Yes, Christmas is coming, and I want to prepare some presents," William said, suddenly realizing something, looking at Sherlock and saying, "Sherlock, do you want to come along?" ”

"No, it's boring."

Sherlock said, taking a sip from his teacup, his eyes continuing to read the newspaper.

"Well," William nodded, and said solemnly, "I was going to take you for a walk around Diagon Alley, which is the favorite place for wizards." ”

"Diagon Alley?"

Sherlock, apparently attracted by William's words, closed the newspaper in his hand and said, "I don't think it's a big deal to go once." ”

William smiled when he saw that Sherlock had no intention of slapping himself in the face.

After the two had finished their lunch, Sherlock went to William's room in his coat.

"You need to disguise yourself," William said, handing Sherlock a wizard's robe, "Muggles are welcome when wizards aren't there······ Luckily, we're about the same size, and you can put on my robes. ”

Sherlock nodded in understanding, and he looked at the black robe for a moment before putting it on his body.

Seeing Sherlock put on his robe, William lifted it up and looked back and forth a few times, with brown curly hair, gray eyes, and black robes, how weird it looked, but he was still a beautiful man!

Thinking of this, William smiled and jerked Sherlock over and rushed into the fireplace.

······

It was approaching Christmas and there were many wizards in Diagon Alley, so William took Sherlock to Gringotts first.

As they walked through the shiny bronze gates, Sherlock watched as the elven guards bowed to them, smiled, and remained silent.

Once they had entered the hall, William exchanged some gold from the elves and left Gringotts with Sherlock.

"Here's for you."

William said, handing Sherlock a money bag in his hand, and said in a good voice, "I don't want to scare you. ”

"It's not because of that."

Sherlock glanced at William and pointed to his half-hooded face, "You're doing this to affect my image. ”

"But that's the only way to keep you safe." William explained.

"But your smiling face tells me you're lying." Sherlock said.

"Well, how can there be?" William touched his face and shook his head solemnly, "I don't have one." ”

In this regard, Sherlock looked at William for a long time, and knew that William's face was a little red, so he said lightly, "I was just tempting, and it turned out to be true without first speaking." ”

Speaking of this, Sherlock took out a gold coin from his purse and looked at it, "The style is somewhat ancient, similar to the smelting method of the Elizabethan period, and the ingredients in it are probably ······"

Listening to Sherlock reciting a bunch of formulas he didn't understand, William felt his head get bigger, and he turned his head sharply to Sherlock's lips, just a hard bite.

Finally, the world is quiet.

Looking at each other, Sherlock's silver-gray eyes looked at William, who was a little nervous.

Not because of Sherlock's gaze, but because this is Diagon Alley, the wizards around him are all stunned to look at the two, and the embarrassed William quickly pulls Sherlock and runs into the shop next to him.

It wasn't until they got inside that William realized that this was probably Madame Morkin's robes store.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen," said Mrs. Morkin, who came over, looked at Sherlock and William, and then smiled at William, "Professor Stoker, you are visiting my shop for the first time, and I will give you half of the discount on this purchase." ”

"Mrs. Morkin, do you know me?"

William was stunned, it was indeed the first time he had come to Diagon Alley, he had not seen Madame Morkin, but Madame Morkin could know who he was at a glance, it was so surprising.

"Of course, you are the star of the story, and the Blotchy bookstore next door to me has books about you," Lady Morkin explained with a smile, "I am here to buy gifts for Christmas, and I have made a lot of beautiful and practical clothes for you to see." ”

As he spoke, four robes of different colors and styles came out of the room, and did not circle around William, allowing William and Sherlock to see the styles and characteristics of the four robes more clearly.

"The first one contains the silk of the Monoculus Spider, so it can not only iron and repair automatically, but also fight against the burning of flames; The edge of the second dress is added with the fur of the long-haired red rabbit, which not only maintains a constant temperature, but also has ornamental and collectible properties; Paragraph 3 ······"

Sherlock's eyes brightened a little with every time Mrs. Morkin said a piece of clothing, and he curiously reached out and touched one of the clothes that happened to pass him, and the dress suddenly trembled, and shrank behind Mrs. Morkin, still trembling, if it hadn't been able to speak, I am afraid it would have shouted "indecency".

"It's a little shy, it's fine," Lady Morkin explained with a smile when she saw Sherlock look stunned at his hand, and then at the trembling clothes that were huddled behind her, "You can try to hug it for nothing, it loves to hug people." ”

Following Madame Morkin's line of sight, Sherlock looked at Bai Bai, the first magic robe, which seemed to understand the conversation of several people, and excitedly stretched out its two sleeves and rushed towards Sherlock.

"Bang"!

William stretched out his hand to block it, so that Bai Bai immediately dodged as if "the mouse saw the cat".

"I'm sorry, he's mine, I can't hug you."

William finished laughing, and Mrs. Morkin covered her lips and smiled.

"No wonder everyone says that magical creatures and non-creatures don't like to be around you, but this time I've finally seen it."

"Huh?"

William was a little baffled.

"You've been at Hogwarts for so long, haven't you ever been pranked by Peeves or other ghosts?" Madame Morkin explained, "You know, Peeves is a prank that even Headmaster Deppet would dare to play a prank. ”

With that said, William was really aware of the problem.

Not to mention, at first Earl D said that it was not liked by animals, and then even at Hogwarts, he almost never encountered any non-living creatures except for immovable portraits, and even Professor Binns, who taught the history of magic, never said a word to him, and almost never appeared in front of his eyes.

"Maybe I wasn't born to like them, maybe I don't like them." William shrugged and said.

"Maybe."

After the two finished speaking, William looked at Sherlock still looking around happily, and couldn't help but say, "Sherlock, do you want to make a robe?" You must know that Madame Morkin's robe shop is the best in Diagon Alley. ”

Sherlock's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"I'll get a ruler and measure yours, I don't have yours here," Lady Morkin said, glancing at Sherlock and winking at William, "Professor Stoke, too, you may need a new robe." ”

"Oh, of course."

William smiled and nodded.

Sherlock and William chose the style together, and the ruler in Madame Morkin's hand rushed over, and when it was about to pounce on William's chest, William stretched out his hand, and a wind blade slapped it back, crashing into Bai Bai's body, and instantly falling to the ground.

Looking at the ruler and clothes that had not flown up, William said with a smile, "It seems that if I was not careful, I used too much force." ”

"No, it's fine."

Madame Morkin looked at the half-dead ruler and twitched, convinced of the rumors that William possessed great magical powers.

You know, even Severus Snape, who was known as the genius of the previous session, was taken advantage of for being unprepared for the first time.

After the normal measurements were made, William made an appointment with Mrs. Morkin, paid the money, and went out with Sherlock.

"Next, how about we go to Florin Cold Drink Shop for some cold drinks and take a break?"

William asked, Sherlock.

"Let's go next door." Sherlock said, moving his gaze to the Blotchy bookstore next door.

"Next door?" William was stunned for a moment, "Sherlock, are you interested in magic?" ”

"Of course not, this kind of stuff that has no scientific basis at all is like a nightmare," Sherlock said, glancing at William.

"Then you ······"

When William said this, he suddenly remembered what Mrs. Morkin had just said, "Are you here to read my magazine?" ”
