Before the Christmas break, students can go to Hogsmeade Village one last time.

Harry, of course, couldn't go.

To help him, the twins gave him a Hogwarts map as a Christmas present.

This kind of map is used privately by the Akali Mystery Shop, and is an optimized high-end product.

The function is basically the same as that of the live map, which can display various secret passages and other people's names.

The map layout was also redesigned by Cedric and Autumn Reartwork.

This is not for sale, and is currently only held by the people in Akali's Mystery Shop, plus Hermione.

Not even Anne.

It makes perfect sense to give Harry one.

Because last semester, William found out in Lupin's memory that the Marauders were actually the Jaime Four.

The map of Akali's Secret Shop, on the other hand, is based on the map of the Living Spot.

If the Marauder Quartet has other descendants, they will also give one.

So, this combination is really miserable. With the exception of James Potter, who is married and has children, everyone else is a single old man.

You say that the Marauders are a combination of the bases, Jaime and his three harems of grass exploration...... William believed it!

This involves the issue of nomenclature, and the name Marauder is not really good.

Like a large number of debut groups such as the Death Eaters, the Akatsuki Organization, and the Black-Cloaked Organization, it sounds like they have no future.

And the Akali Mystery Shop is catchy and gives people a very atmospheric feeling.

That's the gap.

The last time they visited Hogsmeade, William and Hermione did not go, but went to Hogsmeade Station.

In the morning, a red steam train slowly approached from a distance.

The Hogwarts Express never runs outside of holidays, and this time is an exception.

The train made a foul sound and slowly stopped on the dilapidated platform.

The door opened, the ramp fell, and the only passenger appeared at the door.

Nicol got out of the car in a dark suit, with mirrorless black-framed eyes, and looked like an associate professor.

He was graceful and elegant, smiling at William and Hermione.

"Good morning, sir, and welcome to Hogwarts." William smiled. "Did you have a good trip?"

"Of course, it's a novelty." Nicol exclaimed, "It's my first time riding the Hogwarts Express. ”

"The only downside, it's just me, and I like to be a little lively."

Nicol didn't take the train on a whim, and when the Thunderbird attacked, it wreaked havoc on the body.

Dumbledore asked Nicol to help fix it, and by the way, he strengthened some spells.

"Ahh Nicol seemed to suddenly remember something, and he shook his head, dissatisfied:

"There's one more little problem, I almost forgot, it's bad."

William thought it was an ancient magic inscription problem on the train, but who knew that Nicol pulled out a picture of a chocolate frog.

"I bought some chocolate frogs from the snack salesman. I haven't been following in a long time, oh...... It's terrible. ”

Nico said in an aggrieved tone, "I have to say, they took my picture old-fashioned...... Just looking at the photos, I seem to be older than Albus. ”

William and Hermione were amused by Nicol.

Nicol turned his gaze to Hermione, and he teased:

"Oh, Hermione, long time no see, you're getting prettier, William didn't bully you, right?"

Hermione blushed and shook her head, and said softly, "No." ”

"If you remember something, write to me so that I can help you teach him a lesson." Nicol blinked.

Hermione's cheeks agitated, and the pear vortex propped up, snorting at William demonstratively.

Nicol snapped his fingers, and a golden cane appeared in his hand, which he held lightly.

I haven't seen him for two years, and the old man seems to be much weaker than before.

William restrained his expression and said with concern: "Nicol, are you okay?" ”

Nicol shrugged, as if he didn't take it seriously.

"Flesh and blood. The mortal body does not last forever. ”

"Shall we go straight to school?" Hermione asked, "Professor Dumbledore is already waiting." ”

"Let Albus keep waiting." Nicol laughed, "Ignore him, let's go take a look at Hogsmeade."

I came here many years ago, during the war...... A war between wizards and goblins. ”

The Goblin Rebellion of 1612 was launched at Hogsmeade's Hogsmeade Pub. And Nicona was still young, only ...... Three hundred years old!

Nicol is a living fossil, with 600 years of life experience...... He is a witness and a witness to countless history!

Hogsmeade looks like a Christmas card:

The huts and shops were covered with a crunchy layer of snow, the doors of each house were garlanded with holly, and enchanted candles hung in bunches from the trees.

The trio walked down the streets of Hogsmeade, attracting countless lights, especially the appearance of a strange old man next to William and Hermione.

No one recognized Nicol, and he appeared in front of the public too rarely.

"How's Newt?" William didn't care about the probing gaze.

"It's been released, but it's under the watchful eye of the Magical Congress of the United States." Nicol looked at the storefronts around him.

"A lot of things over there are handled by that little girl from Ba Buling."

"Professor Barbling, how is she?" William asked cautiously.

"I know what you're trying to ask, William." In a strange tone, Nico chuckled, "She's very good, but she's a little high-profile." ”

"What do you mean?" William's brow furrowed slightly, realizing that things were not simple.

"Let's put it this way, if you go to the United States a few years later, she will probably have mixed up with the dean and vice principal of Ilvermorny in your face."

“……”

Wait a minute!

William suddenly discovered one thing, and that didn't mean that he had a great chance of becoming unprecedented...... Principals of the two schools!

Merlin's leg hair, that's so exciting?!

……

……

Inside the Three Broomsticks Bar,

Secretary Fudge, McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick, whom they met on the way, were chatting around a table.

Harry had sneaked to Hogsmeade through the secret passages. At this time, he was wearing an invisibility cloak and eavesdropping on the conversation on the other side.

Ron, on the other hand, took advantage of the afterglow and kept peeking at the pretty widow who still had charm...... Mrs. Rosmerta.

The crowd was chatting about Blake.

Professor McGonagall is describing how good Blake and Jaime were back then.

It was so good that it was said that a pair of panties, which the two of them wore in turn.

Professor Flitwick said that the two were like conjoined babies and biological brothers at that time.

Ms. Rosmerta said she had always thought they were a couple.

Everyone sighed, and Harry was even more shocked. He didn't expect Blake to be the murderer of his parents.

"Oh, who is that man?" Minister Fudge inadvertently glanced out the window.

"Merlin." He stood up and exclaimed, "It's Mr. Nicol Lemay!" ”

"Where?" Rosmerta looked up, curious.

"Right next to William—the old man!" Fudge waved excitedly.

However, the three people outside didn't notice him.

McGonagall and Professor Flitwick also turned their heads to see that it was indeed the famous Nicol Lemay.

"I thought he was dead." Rosmerta said softly.

"Didn't Professor Dumbledore say in the newspaper the year before last that Nicol Lemay had destroyed the Philosopher's Stone?"

"yes, yes." Fudge muttered. "That's a huge legacy......

"Huh?" Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow.

"No, I mean...... If I donate to the Ministry of Magic, I can make a greater contribution to the United Kingdom. Fudge quickly changed his words.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips in distrust.

The French don't donate to the British Ministry of Magic.

Fudge had apparently thought about it as well, and he thought a little deeper.

There has always been a rumor that Stark was a student of Lemay. In the Gringotts incident, Lemay appeared beside him.

The relationship between the two seems extraordinary.

Since Lemay has destroyed the Philosopher's Stone, he should not live long.

He must make a will, and William, as a student, may instantly become the richest man in the British Isles.

Hiss ~ Compared with Lemay's family property, what is Malfoy?

Asking for 10,000 Galleons to spend whatever you want is like killing Lucius!

Fudge suddenly felt that he should continue to build a good relationship with William and wait for him to inherit the inheritance in the future...... Cut him leeks.

No one can live with gold.

Well, Hagrid's Hippogriff has winged beasts, and there is room for discussion.

This time, Fudge wanted to be a good person.

I want to be a minister with a moral bottom line.
