Nicol stayed in the hut for only one day before leaving.

He also had to rush to the Bolshoi Theatre to see ballet and opera.

This Christmas holiday, there will be not only "Swan Lake", but also the treasure of the town - the opera "Eugene Onegin" performance.

Nicol's way of regulating mood...... It's unique.

He is a role model for my generation and a master who will enjoy it.

William can be regarded as having learned a new skill after the water gun.

If he is in a bad mood in the future, he can also go to watch a similar performance - such as the Victoria's Secret show.

Of course, this kind of relaxation is likely to only serve as a reassuring effect.

It's not that William is bored after watching it once, it's that he's ...... Hermione Hacked to death.

Judging by Nicol's actions, he was not that sad.

Unlocked the alchemy book, but didn't get what he wanted...... It can only be said that it is a mixed blessing.

There may be disappointment, but there is also psychological preparation.

He valued the present moment more than death.

In his words:

If you can't stop death, never let the ending block the light of the story.

Nicol resolutely broke away.

The book of alchemy was placed with William for the time being. He was going to Moscow, and it was not safe to carry a book with him.

He would come and pick it up before the Christmas holidays.

Staying with William is actually leaving it for him to use, so that he can continue to study.

William took the alchemy book and began to do a lot of transcription work with Hermione, recording down the items he wanted to make.

This time the Alchemy Book unlocks the third part.

He had a lot of magical items in mind, and he could find a way to make them in them.

In a word, only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without it.

William also found a way to make a portkey and began experimenting with making it on his own.

A portkey is an enchanted item that can teleport people who come into contact with it to a designated location.

It's a bit of a Doraemon feeling like any portal.

A little safer than a take-off road powder, a door key. Because of the use of Floo powder, the fireplace must be connected to the Floo network.

Floo.com is monitored by the Ministry of Magic. In other words, your every move is under the watchful eye of others.

The Ministry of Magic doesn't want you to use it, and the Floo Network will automatically disconnect.

As for the door key, theoretically, it is also monitored.

It is overseen by the Portkey Office of the Department of Magical Communications, Ministry of Magic. To craft a new portkey, you must have permission from the Ministry of Magic.

However, the Ministry of Magic has no way of detecting whether someone has made unauthorized portkeys.

Secretly made in private, it won't be discovered at all.

It's as if Albania's portkey smugglers took advantage of this.

And William and Hermione wouldn't care about this law.

The two of them have long been out of the realm of violating the school rules, and they are running all the way on the illegal road, and they are running faster and faster.

Secretly making a portkey is a big deal.

William started to practice and tried a lot of things.

The farther the distance, the harder it is to make it successful. The portkey itself, but it doesn't matter much.

He practiced for several days before he was almost ready to connect to the other houses.

So far, William and Hermione have owned four houses.

In addition to the village of Saint-Cachpole, there are also homes in Paris, Venice and Godric's Valley.

The houses in Paris and Venice were bought during the summer holidays.

Godric's Hollow was bought with Dumbledore's help.

When choosing a place to live, the headmaster suggested going to Godric's Hollow. After all, it used to be his home.

Although William had not been there, he bought it as another safe house.

The two buildings abroad are too far away to go for the time being, so only the houses in Godric's Valley can be arranged.

That way, even if someone besieged the house, they would be able to get out.

Hermione had been designing it for a long time and had a very good plan.

She chose the door to the storage room as the key to the door, so that it would not be conspicuous or affect the structure of the room.

Next to the storage compartment, there is also a button that can be turned.

When you point the pointer at a blank space, when you open the door, it's just a storage room.

Twist the button again, and the pointer points to Godric's Hollow, and the door turns blue.

If you touch the wooden door, you will trigger the portkey and go to the house in Godric's Hollow.

On the buttons, there are also indicators for Paris and Venice.

The whole design is very ingenious, and it is also a great test of the wizard's crafting ability.

But William was a master of alchemy, and this kind of design was at his fingertips. It really doesn't work, and the alchemy book will also give a solution.

It took two days before the two of them finished their preparations.

Two days before the end of the Christmas holidays, after dinner, William decided to make a portkey.

Under Hermione's expectant gaze, William pointed his wand at the wooden door and said expertly, "Mentos." ”

The wood glowed blue, shook the floor loudly, and after a few seconds, it was motionless again.

"Did it work?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Probably it worked. Let's take a look. William said.

Hermione nodded, taking his arm around her. The two touch the blue door, then disappear into thin air.

Smack, they appeared in a room.

The room was not renovated and bare. There are only whiteboards on the walls around the perimeter.

From the windows, you can see some houses lined with narrow alleys, and the Christmas decorations in the windows are shining.

Not far ahead, golden street lamps indicate that it is the center of the village.

"It seems to have worked." Hermione said happily.

She took William's hand, pushed the door open, and walked out.

The two of them walked down the street and circled Godric's Hollow.

The valley is large, with a war memorial-like structure in the center, half-hidden behind a Christmas tree in the wind, surrounded by colorful lights.

There are also several shops, a post office, a bar, a chapel, and across the stained-glass square, radiating jewels.

Villagers were intermingling with each other, briefly illuminated by street lamps. Snippets of laughter and pop music can be heard as the bar door closes.

Soon, they wandered in front of a remote yard somewhere.

There was a brass number in the doorway that vaguely read: Dumbledore.

"This is Professor Dumbledore's home?" Hermione looked at the door number and wondered.

"Yes." William looked up at the wall.

From here you can see a large bare tree, its branches sticking out of the yard, and several ravens standing on the tree quacking.

Listen to the extremely cautious people.

Dumbledore spent his teenage years here, after Ariana's death...... He never came back.

"Let's go back, William."

Hermione felt chills all over her body, and she didn't like the oppressive environment very much.

The two turned around and returned to the house, and through the portkey, back to the warmth of their home.

Now that the portkey has succeeded, the two ignore it and start doing other things to enjoy the final Christmas break.

Sitting on the couch, Hermione pulled William into a game of wizarding chess.

While at St. Man's Hospital of Magic and Magic, Willian studied with the professional players of the national team and was very good at chess.

Hermione was no match at all, and after a dozen steps, she was eaten by several white knights in a row.

"You won't let me at all!" Hermione snorted twice.

William couldn't help but laugh and said, "You can regret the chess."

Look at Anne...... Every time you play wizard chess with me, you don't regret playing chess ten or twenty times, it's not called playing chess at all. ”

Hermione rolled her eyes, and if she really picked up her white queen, she threw it back to her original position, and picked up a few black knights.

The Black Knight struggled and was thrown into the chess box. They pinched their waists and cried out to die on the chessboard.

The chess game that William had an advantage in was immediately tilted to the side.

"You are not allowed to eat my White Queen!" She instructed again.

William smiled dumbly, and Hermione smirked, with a playful look of 'I'm a scoundrel, who am I afraid of'.

Then, it is a matter of repentance, stealing, and playing.

Looking at William, who was a little absent-minded, Hermione asked quietly, "William, what are you thinking?" ”

William moved the position of the Black Queen, looked up and said, "I'm just thinking, is there really no eternal life?" ”

Nicol may be free, but William is a little unwilling. He really wanted to make the elixir of youth.

Before Hermione could move the pieces, she took a few more sunspots.

She sat up, rested her chin on her knees, and murmured, "William, do you want to live forever?" ”

"It's a hard life, and it would be a pity if it was just an empty job and finally dissipated from the world." William said bluntly.

Hermione thought for a moment and stared into William's eyes, "What if you alone could live forever, and I couldn't?" ”

William didn't think about it, and shook his head directly:

"Then I'd rather spend a short life with you than see the vicissitudes of the world alone."

Hermione opened her mouth slightly and looked at the young man, her eyes a little misty.

William tapped her hand and smiled softly: "Don't steal my chess pieces again, if you steal again, there will really be only the king left." ”

The girl's delicate little face immediately turned red.

She blinked suddenly, raised her neck and exhaled softly: "William, haven't you always wanted me to wear that outfit for you?" ”

"What?"

Hermione, whose ears were red, said with some embarrassment: "Maid outfit!" ”

She twisted the corners of her clothes lightly and said shyly, "If you lose this game...... I'll give you tonight...... Wear. ”

William took a deep breath, grabbed Hermione's hand, and threw all the white pieces in the box, leaving only one king.

"I lost!"

Hermione was slightly stunned.

William whispered, "We can have a few more, I have several more clothes for you to wear." ”

Hermione's cheeks flushed red and hot, like dripping red candles.

"Pervert!!"

Unable to withstand the boy's hot eyes, she was about to flee.

William stood up, walked over and picked her up, and walked towards his room.
