Chapter 33: Christmas
For a whole month, the three of Harry had been secretly searching for news about Nicol Lemay, and every time they saw Egg, they hurriedly packed up the information in their hands.
Iger looked at the appearance of the three people and snickered in his heart, and did not pierce it.
He wasn't interested in a guessing game like finding the Philosopher's Stone, and he had been waiting for the Tom Riddle diary, and it must have been fun to be idle...
As time passed, another year of Christmas was approaching, and for others, Christmas was a holiday, and for Iger, Christmas was not only a holiday, but also his birthday.
This is also what Hermione said after spending a year at Granger's house, and Iger originally thought that it would be good to spend Christmas together, and there was no need to have another birthday.
Looking out the window at the snow a few feet deep, Egg put on a luxurious and thick robe and walked out, and when he got downstairs, he saw the Weasley brothers casting spells on several snowballs, causing them to run around chasing Quirrell, and when Egg saw a few snowballs smashed on the back of the heads of the two Quirrells, Egg burst out laughing.
Unbeknownst to the guys, they were the first to dare to throw a snowball at Voldemort's face.
Iger hugged his stomach and smiled, and soon, Professor McGonagall appeared next to several people.
"Mr. Weasleys, for your impolite behavior, Gryffindor will be deducted five points!" Professor McGonagall's tone was stern, her eyes looked at the two of them angrily, and then she looked at Egg, who was still laughing on the side, Professor McGonagall's face became even more stern: "As for you, Mr. Morissus, you are perfectly capable of stopping their actions, but you don't, this nature is even worse, so I will deduct ten points for you!" ”
Looking at Professor McGonagall who was leaving in a rage, the three of them stared at each other for a long time, followed by another laugh.
It seems that Professor McGonagall's deduction did not bring any negative emotions to the trio.
"Fifteen centrifuges."
"Poisoned eggs, adults earned it back in two classes."
The two chattered and joked, and Iger muttered dissatisfiedly, "Don't call me a poisonous egg... Don't call me an adult..."
"How can that be, you're our leader." Fred looked panicked and had a pompous expression.
"The new generation of Lord Dark Lord~" George knelt on one knee with a deep face, and then the two of them burst into laughter again.
In the distance, a stout figure walked over with a snort, and Hagrid looked at the Weasley brothers in a rough voice: "Don't talk nonsense, don't make trouble for Egger, he's rough enough." ”
"Hagrid~~" Egger wanted to climb onto Hagrid's shoulder, but unfortunately the coat was too thick and failed: "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to go with Professor Kettleburn and ask for some potions to warm the birds, the poor little ones in the owl shed are freezing to death." Hagrid nodded.
Egg thought for a moment and patted his head suddenly, "Should I bring Lark and Hedwig back to the castle?" ”
"Thank goodness you finally thought of it, but no." Hagrid patted Egger's little head: "Hedwig is a snowy owl, she doesn't react much to the cold, and as for Lack, I didn't see it, it should be those house-elves who are taking care of it." ”
Egger breathed a sigh of relief and waved goodbye to Hagrid.
"Speaking of which, it's so lonely today," said Egg, looking at the blue sky.
"The holidays are coming, and everyone is looking forward to the holidays." Fred nodded: "It's normal, every year. ”
"What about you?" Iger turned his head to look at the two of them.
"We and Ron Percy stayed at the castle because our mom and our dad and our sister were going to Romania to visit Charlie." George said with a grin.
Iger then remembered that Charlie had gone to Romania to study dragons...
"Are they gone?" Iger asked, looking at the twins.
The two shook their heads: "Not yet, they plan to leave the day before Christmas." ”
"Good." Egg smiled: "I still have enough time to help Charlie prepare Christmas presents, and I plan to buy a metal wand shell for him, so that if he has an accident while studying the fire dragon, it will not be good if he breaks the wand again..."
"He'll be moved to tears." The twins looked at each other and laughed.
Compared to Egger, the three Harry were obviously a little crazy, and they still hadn't figured out who Nicol Lemay was.
It was an hour later when Iger arrived at the Great Hall, and the three Harry seemed to have had an awkward fight with Malfoy, and Snape had deducted points, which annoyed them even more.
Hagrid had brought twelve Christmas trees to set up on both sides of the auditorium, and Egg felt that he had been too busy lately, and that he was going to pull the trees out after Christmas...
Professor Flitwick decorated the auditorium with a wand in his hand, and Egg leaned in, "Do you need help, Professor?" ”
Half an hour later, looking at the twelve decorated Christmas trees and the palatial auditorium, Professor Flitwick gave Iger twenty points.
Iger felt so happy that not only did he earn back the fifteen points that Professor McGonagall had deducted, but he also earned back the five points that Snape had just deducted for the three men.
"You've got a good idea," Ron smacked his lips at Egger, "I've earned those five points in a few months..."
Iger shrugged and wanted to sing to Ron: We're not the same...
During the morning owl rain routine, Harry untied the envelope from Hedwig's paws and looked at Egger and grinned, "The Dursleys invited me back for Christmas..."
"What do you think?" Egger looked at Harry curiously, holding his chin.
"Ahh ”
"No, Harry." Ron looked at Harry and thought for a moment, "I think you should go back, this is a good opportunity to improve your relationship, after all, you still have to live together for a long time, I don't care, Fred and George are here." ”
"I think Ron is right." Egg nodded, a little surprised, he had always thought that Ron was the kind of person who would admit death, "This is indeed a good opportunity, although I hate what they did to you, but Harry, the most unique thing about you is that you can forgive others for their mistakes. ”
Harry was a little embarrassed, and Ai Ai looked at Ai Ai in anticipation, "I... I just don't know how to face them, you know Egger, you made such a strong impression on them that day, and I'm still more used to them being like they used to be. ”
"What did Iger do?" Ron looked at Harry in surprise, "I've heard you say that Egg caused a lot of psychological trauma to that family. ”
Harry looked at Egger, who spread his hands and said it didn't matter.
"Egger gave the Dursleys a choke on their throats when they went to pick me up, blew up their house, and then killed them..."Harry roughly described the events of that day, "but Egg said he was just scaring the Dursleys..."
"Although I felt as if he was really going to kill them...", Harry muttered in Ron's ear.
"Cool," Ron looked at Egg adoringly, "what an iron hand." ”
"What the hell do you think?" Hermione looked at Ron in exasperation, "That's a crime, not just a violation of school rules. ”
"So why don't you talk to Egger?" Ron looked innocent.
Hermione turned her head to look at Egg, and then met the smiling eyes, Hermione choked weakly, and turned around with a red face.
"You're lethal enough," Ron grinned as he looked at Egg, "I'm a little envious of you, to be honest." ”
"I suggest that you better look for a suitable target, lest you run out of good girls in the future." Iger grinned.
After the meal, Fred and George mysteriously dragged Iger aside, and Fred looked at Egger: "We thought of something. ”
"It's a pretty cool thing." George laughed.
"Do you know the Dark Mark on the Death Eaters?" Fred looked at Iger and said, "We saw that thing in the book. ”
"I know, what, you want one?" Iger looked dazed.
"No, we're looking at that thing, and we can notify our companions with just a single touch." Fred looked at Egger.
George grinned, "So we thought if you could make something similar too?" ”
"After all, we're an organization now." Fred nodded.
Egger looked puzzled, but still nodded: "Okay, I think there should be no problem, you wait for me to check." ”
……
"It seems... Did you start an organization? ”
At night, in Snape's office, Snape was slowly concocting potions, and Egg felt that Snape didn't look so gloomy now.
"yes, almost." Egle looked at Snape, "Any similarity spell?" ”
"The principle of the two-way mirror," Snape said casually, "I don't know if you've ever seen one of those mirrors that can show the opposite side of the two places." ”
"I've heard of it." Iger nodded, "What's the connection?" ”
"That mirror uses a similar spell." Snape continued in a slow tone, giving Iger the general idea.
"Reach out." Snape looked at the color of the potion in the cauldron, then stood up and drew his wand, "What are you going to want?" ”
Iger smacked his lips: "emmm... In two days, I haven't thought about it yet..."
"Then come back when you're ready." Snape casually threw a black cat out the door.
"Meow..."
For several days, Egger had not agreed with the Weasleys what pattern they wanted, and according to them, it was supposed to be a black poisoned egg, but this idea was fiercely opposed by Egger.
Until the night before Christmas, when Iger and Hermione left school, the three of them were undecided.
On the other side, the three of Harry also discussed finding clues about Nicol Lemay during the holiday, and in this way, a group of people ushered in the holiday with various concerns.
Harry looked at Egg, who was leading Hermione towards Hogsmeade, with a wave of envy, and the ease of apparition made him a little greedy.
He eventually decided to stay with Ron at Hogwarts, and Harry felt that he hadn't figured out what to do with the Dursleys.
People are sometimes so strange that when two people who have a bad relationship suddenly improve their relationship, they often don't know how to face each other.
However, these were not Egger's concerns, and he appeared directly at Granger's house with Hermione in a phantom appearance.
As soon as they got home, they heard a 'bang' sound, and the room lit up suddenly, and the Granger couple looked at the two of them with a smile and two fireworks in their hands, and on the other side, Aisha and Kaka also looked at the two with a smile and a smile on the other side.
"Merry Christmas, babes." Jane stepped forward and hugged Egg and Hermione, "Kaka told us you should be back soon, and I guessed you'd show up." ”
Iger was smiling and groaning, at least for the moment, he felt that there was no place more warm than here.
Early on Christmas morning, Iger happily accepts hugs from the Grangers, Aisha and, of course, Kaka.
Then it was time to open the gifts excitedly, and Snape sent things as always, still a lot of bottles and cans, and Egger often sold potions that looked like they were about to expire in Diagon Alley, and told people that they were made by Potions Master Snape himself, and they often sold for a good price, even if they were potions that were about to expire.
Egger couldn't help but celebrate that the elixir of happiness had no expiration date, otherwise it would have to sell a lot.
Of course, Snape was also unhappy with his sale of potions, and sent back potions with no expiration date, which made Egg even happier, because the more precious the potions, the less they had an expiration date...
Dumbledore sent a large pile of candy, but it was put away by the Granger couple shortly after they opened it, and they told Egg that he couldn't eat so much candy even if he had a tooth change potion, because it was not good for his health.
Professor McGonagall gave him a golden lion's wand head and a matching wand crutch that looked similar to Lucius Malfoy's crutches.
Harry gave Egger a broomstick maintenance kit, and he had always been very disgusted with Egger's casual attitude towards brooms, and even repeatedly asked Egger to bring him the broom to help maintain it.
Ron gave him a pair of snakeskin boots, and the letter told Egg that he would also stomp Slytherin under his feet in the new year, which made Egg laugh for a long time.
Hermione gave Egg a hard red scarf, which matched Egger's coat, and Aisha gave Egg a beautiful brass earring, Hermione never let Egg wear it, saying that it looked like a girl, and I don't know what it really is...
The most surprising thing was that Malfoy actually gave Egger a gift, a very beautiful black robe, and under the black robe were golden-red flame stripes, which looked as beautiful as a flame, at least it looked much more beautiful than all of Egger's robes.
"You should check to see if there's any dark magic up there." That's what Hermione told Egger.
Iger nodded, "I think so..."
According to the methods he learned from Snape, Egger checked up and down two or three times, but there were no problems, Egger picked up his robe and looked at it, and a letter fell out of the robe, in which Malfoy sincerely expressed his desire to make friends with Egger...
"The power-hungry Slytherins." Hermione felt bad, he thought Malfoy was going to take Egg...
"It's okay." Iger smiled: "I feel like he's just spoiled by his parents, and his heart isn't bad, although sometimes it's really annoying." ”
"It's up to you." Hermione didn't care what Iger thought, she thought that when she revealed Snape's true colors, Iger might be able to listen to her, the little girl was not in a hurry at all, in her opinion, the top priority was to find news of Nicol Lemay.
Two days after Christmas, Hedwig appeared in front of Egger's window with her wings flapped, and Egger carried Hedwig into the house and grabbed a small pot made of Kaka and gave it to her.
Untying the letter from Hedwig's paws, Egg picked it up and looked at it, and it was about Harry telling him that he had seen a strange mirror, and that he had seen his parents and many family members.
Harry said that Ron didn't think it was necessarily a good thing, so the two of them were going to write a letter to Iger and ask.
Egg laughed, his fingers hooked, and a quill flew in front of him, scribbling on the parchment.
