In the middle of the resplendent room is a large octagonal wooden table.

A twelve-year-old boy was sitting at a table, reading a book earnestly.

Not far from him, are two huge bronze statues of goddesses with torches of wisdom in their hands.

On the chest of the statue of the goddess, an orange cat lies on its stomach, basking in the sun and snoring and sleeping.

If the Hogwarts library is the place with the most books, then William's room can be called the most beautiful library in the world.

This is not an exaggeration.

The entire building is two stories high, and upon entering the main door, there is a large foyer with Italian marble and stucco walls decorated with countless gold leaves.

Eight pairs of statues line the hallway – all depicting Minerva, the goddess of wisdom.

Passing through the vaulted hallway behind the foyer, you enter an even larger space, the library lobby.

The hall of the library sparkles with the classical grandeur of the French court.

Seventy-five-foot-high ceilings feature stained-glass skylights and foil-covered beams.

It can be seen from this that the beam was renovated several centuries ago, after all, at that time aluminum was considered a more precious metal than gold.

This is true of both Muggles and wizarding.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Bobo Tea finally woke up, and it stepped on the milk before lazily jumping off the statue and landing on the table.

It made a round and found that it did not have its own litter box, so it gave up the convenience and chose to continue to hold on.

Defecating in the open and leaving your mark in the library? Bobo tea will do such a qualityless thing, it is the master of the cat!

William was holding a copy of professional alchemy written by Nicolame in his hand.

It's one of his early works, and there's a lot of good whimsy in it.

During this time, William learned a lot from Nicol. Occasionally, he learned something ignorant, and the old man was always able to explain it in simple terms, which benefited him a lot.

The most important thing is that Nicol's huge laboratory has too many small items that he makes casually.

These finished products can be disassembled and studied by William as a test object, and then made according to them.

Who has studied alchemy and been able to dismantle precious alchemy items for research? That's why William was able to be so extravagant.

This kind of practical operation has benefited William in particular. It's hard to say how high his alchemy level is now, but his vision has the meaning of going up a few floors.

The old man also answered many of William's puzzles, such as the unusual Professor Quirrell.

It turned out that Nicol's Philosopher's Stone had run out of mana, and then Dumbledore was borrowed and placed in the Hogwarts Exclusion Zone.

William was relieved when he heard this, he had never understood the meaning of the level before.

Now it seems that Dumbledore was really scheming, using a fake Philosopher's Stone to fish.

But who exactly was directing Quirrell, Nicol didn't say.

However, knowing that Quirrell really had a problem, William decided to go back and continue to greet him.

Just then, Hermione ran in, and she dragged William and hurried outside.

Bobo Tea yawned, and instead of following the two out, he squatted down in William's chair.

It's the sunniest spot in the entire library, and now it's finally it.

"Professor Dumbledore is here." As she walked along the road, Hermione gasped as she explained.

"Oh, come on, why are you in such a hurry."

"He also brought Christmas gifts......

Before Hermione could finish speaking, William grabbed her hand and ran outside at a faster pace.

“……”

When the two arrived, Dumbledore was standing by the lake, and Newt was with him admiring the snowmen piled up on the ground.

This Christmas, there were only two light snowfalls, which was not fun. So Hermione only built a very small snowman.

In the hand of the snowman, he also holds a wooden stick as a wand, and in front of it is a smaller animal.

"It's a one-crested chicken, definitely a chicken, Professor." Newt said earnestly as he curled up in his thick trench coat.

Dumbledore observed for a moment, then frowned, "I feel like a wicked woman." ”

"Professor Dumbledore, I'm a magizoologist, a professional, please respect my profession, okay?" Newt retorted.

"This can't be a wicked woman's bird, I've raised a wicked woman's bird, it won't be so ugly."

Dumbledore was lost in thought, wondering what kind of animal it was, could it be eaten for Christmas...... Turkey?

"That's the fire dragon." After listening for a while, Hermione's face turned red, and she explained in a whisper, "Ukrainian iron belly!" ”

Newt suddenly shut up and stopped mentioning anything professional.

Dumbledore was a warm-up expert, and he smiled unchangeably, "Oh, fire dragon, don't say it, it's quite similar."

I was just about to say that it was the fire dragon. ”

Hermione glanced at the two of them suspiciously.

Dumbledore coughed his throat and said gently, "I passed by here to talk to Nicol about something, and by the way, to give you both Christmas presents.

The owl can't be delivered here, so I have to deliver it myself. ”

Dumbledore's wand waved, and a large number of gifts appeared on the ground.

Most of them were William's, and Hermione's were much less, but at least a little more than on her birthday.

"By the way, it's Professor Snape's gift to you, William." Dumbledore pulled a small box out of his pocket.

"He also asked me to give you a little word, he misses you very much, let you go back to school early."

“……”

Hermione laughed wryly, too.

"Alright, we'll see you at Hogwarts, William and Hermione." Dumbledore said, "Take care of yourself. ”

He walked towards a certain path, Newt following closely behind him.

"What Christmas gift did you give Professor Snape?" Hermione wondered.

"Overlord Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo, don't you see Professor Snape's hairline moving upwards? This shampoo is a good fit for Professor Snape. ”

William was actually going to send Potter's quick-moving shampoo.

The status of this thing in the wizarding world is basically the same as that of Head & Shoulders and Rejoice.

But considering that this shampoo was invented by Harry Potter's grandfather, Freemont Potter, William still didn't have the courage to send it in the end.

So, it's no wonder that Professor Snape doesn't like to wash his hair, hair loss is one thing, and more importantly, that shampoo was invented by the Potter family.

It's weird if he likes it!

Soon, William opened Professor Snape's package, he frowned slightly, and it was actually a bezoar inside.

"What does that mean?" Hermione asked.

"Well, Professor Snape probably meant that he might poison me in the future and tell me to be ready at any time...... Antidote. ”

Hermione: "......"
