Chapter 68: The Christmas Break
Snape was a more reliable man in Louis's mind.
So, when Louie learned from Snape about the methods used to deal with the traces, he returned to his dormitory and signed the document from the Ministry of Magic.
And then the moment he finished signing that document.
"Hum...."
As an unknown object appeared in Louie's mental world, suspended next to his "magic elixir", Louie was almost scared to pee.
Then.
The only thought that crossed his mind was....
"It's broken! My "magic pill" has a malignant tumor! What to do? ”
"Online and so on! It's urgent! ”
Immediately, Louie, who seemed flustered by the shadows before his rebirth, gradually calmed down, manipulated his magic to perceive the unknown object he thought was a malignant tumor, and then relaxed his tense nerves.
Apparently.
According to the results of Louie's use of magical perception, the unknown object that suddenly appeared in his mental world was not a malignant tumor, but a trace used by the Ministry of Magic to monitor underage wizards.
Looking at the document next to him that had just been signed, it was not difficult for Louis to see that his earlier guess was wrong.
The traces are not physical objects stored in the wand of each underage wizard, but a contract magic signed between the Ministry of Magic and each underage wizard by borrowing the "Law on the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards".
Once this type of contract magic is in effect, all underage wizards who become wizards through formal channels will be under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic, even Louie.
But just like Snape said.
The monitoring effect of the trace is good, but the Ministry of Magic, which supervises underage wizards through the trace, may not have the spare time to supervise every underage wizard, so that there are many loopholes in the monitoring of the trace, which is enough for many underage wizards to legally use it during the holidays and practice the magic they have mastered.
But Louie is a more cautious person, he can't let his guard down because there are a few holes in the trace, who let the extra brother of the fish lip in his family be a precarious time bomb?
Young wizards are prone to emotional swings, unconsciously casting their magic powers, and causing confusion to others.
I still remember Harry in the HP movie, it seems that he was warned by the Ministry of Magic several times because of this, and Louis originally wanted to simply leave his wand in the dormitory and not take it home to avoid accidents.
But after deciding to leave his wand in the dormitory, Louie suddenly had a bold idea!
"All the spells I cast with silent magic are all over, and they have the special effect of imprisoning other people's magic."
"Can I use a curse on the traces to eliminate the Ministry of Magic's ability to monitor me?"
As soon as he thought of this, because he couldn't perfectly analyze the forbidden magic power that ended in all spells, Louis slowly shaped the silent magic in the spiritual world into the shape of a magic wand, and cast all the spells to finally imprison the traces in it.
As for whether this will achieve the effect that Louis expected....
No one knows....
Louis is going to go home and experiment for himself, but the big deal is to receive a warning from the Ministry of Magic!
And then there was Galen, who was sullen in front of Louis at this time.
He didn't use the same method to eliminate Galen's annoyance of not being able to use magic when he returned home, after all, it was enough to have one person responsible for this experiment, and in case the forbidden effect of all spells did not work on Trace, there was really no need to drag Galen to accept the Ministry of Magic's warning.
Moreover....
Galen's father was an adult wizard?
So, stepping forward and tiptoeing Galen on the shoulder, Louis told him about some of the loopholes in the trace, and then comforted: "Look, Galen, you are in much better condition than I am, your father is an adult wizard, and you can continue to practice magic by his side." ”
"I'm not like you, my parents are Muggles, and the one who should really be bothered about not being able to use magic at home is me, not you, isn't it?"
What do you mean by that?
When a person is unlucky, he often sees another guy who is more unlucky than himself, and he will suddenly feel enlightened when he is depressed.
Galen is a good example of this.
After receiving Louie's comfort, he instantly swept away his previous anguish, turned to laugh a few times, and immediately accompanied George, Fred and comforted Louis together.
Persuade him to say....
"It's good to have a family by your side and not use magic."
It is estimated that if it weren't for the feeling that Galen gave Louis before, it would be completely like he was going back to pay tribute to the whole family during the Christmas holiday.
These words ....
And he believed....
………………
The Christmas holidays are coming.
To be on the safe side, Louie still encrypted his wand in the dormitory, put the necessary luggage in the satchel with the Traceless Stretching Charm applied, and boarded the Hogwarts Express back to London with the twins, Galen, who were also lightly traveling.
inside the compartment.
Louis took out the snacks he had prepared long ago and shared them with the twins, and the three of them shared them, and several of them happily talked about various topics of interest while eating snacks.
Suddenly, Galen suddenly remembered something, and asked the two brothers, George and Fred:
"George, Fred, do you have any Christians in your house?"
"Christianity?"
George blinked in confusion, and Fred simply asked, "Galen, what is Christianity?" ”
"Uh...."
Galen scratched his head slightly embarrassed and asked curiously, "Don't you know that Christmas is a Christian holiday?" My mom was a Christian, and she always told me that Christianity was the birthday of Jesus. ”
"Jesus? So what? ”
Looking at George, Fred has turned into the appearance of Lee Jordan's question mark face, and Louis really wants to step forward and give Galen a big-eared melon seed.
"Don't you know that Christianity has a feud with wizards?"
I was afraid that the content of the discussion between the twins and Galen would involve sensitive words such as religion and belief, so they quarreled while chatting, and the twins were blown away by Galen's brains.
Therefore.
Louis had to explain: "Galen, the wizards' Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity, and Christmas is not a Christian holiday in the first place. ”
Galen frowned when he heard this, "My mother is wrong? ”
"That's right."
Louis laughed: "There are many theories about the origin of Christmas, for example, Professor Binns said in the history of magic that the Christmas of wizards is to celebrate the birth of Mithra, the "God of Contract", but I once asked him if it is possible that wizards celebrate Christmas like the ancient Romans, and it is a festival to celebrate the "Saturnalia" Saturnus in the New Year, but Professor Binns said that even he is not sure. ”
On the contrary, the Christian celebration of Christmas originated from the Saturnalia festival in the Roman Empire, and it was after the popularity of Christianity in the Roman Empire that the Holy See incorporated such folk festivals into the Christian system. But Christmas is definitely not the birth of Jesus, because the Bible does not record the birth of Jesus, understand? ”
After speaking, Louis saw the twins, Galen thought for a while, and suddenly nodded vigorously, he knew that the three of them understood... What a fart!
How many children pay attention to why the festival is celebrated?
They just need to find out which holiday is available!
So, it didn't take long for George, Fred, and Galen to be talking about where to go during the holidays, where to shop, and what snacks and toys to buy with the Garons they earned.
And the only toy that Louie was interested in during the Christmas holidays...
At this time, he happened to ride with Jason and Sophia and went to King's Cross Station to pick them up.
Sitting alone in the back seat of the car, listening to Jason sitting in the front row, Sophia was chatting about wizards, and Harry, who was also interested, couldn't help but interject timidly:
"Aunt Sophia, Louis Ta... Is he really a wizard? ”
"Harry, I've said it many times, you're going to call me Mommy, Jason Daddy, Louis like Louis... Forget it, you can call him Louie! ”
After Sophia corrected the problem of the next title again, Harry pursed his lips and whispered again, "Mom... Mom, is Louie really a wizard? ”
"Of course."
Satisfied with Harry's title, Sophia smiled and nodded, and immediately thought that she would be able to meet Louis again, who had been separated for a long time, and couldn't help but say proudly:
"Harry, your brother Louis is definitely all over London.... No, the best wizard in all of England! ”
"I'm sure you'll have a great time with him!"
As Sophia spoke, Harry keenly noticed the tenderness in her eyes when she mentioned Louie, and he didn't know what was going on, and his heart suddenly filled with a sour emotion.
That feeling....
Harry, who has been carefully raised by Jason and Sophia recently, also doesn't know what words to use to describe it.
If you have to describe it...
Probably like that year....
Dudley snatched his favorite toy....
