Chapter 25: Holidays

The green flames swept wildly in the fireplace, and Bernard's figure appeared in the room as the flames burned out, throwing his cloak onto the sofa, and Bernard shouted loudly: "Bell, have a bowl of beef stew, well, and ask for another pancake fruit." ”

Ever since Bernard got ownership of Bell and lived separately from his grandmother, he has been desperately urging Bell to learn Chinese cuisine, especially noodles, pancakes, steamed buns, steamed buns and other pasta. For this reason, Bernard even bought a lot of cooking books for Bell, which touched Bell very much, but then Bell was not happy.

Bell, who is familiar with French cuisine, has repeatedly hit a wall in his attempts at Chinese cuisine, and when he first tried pancake fruit, pancake clippers and flour paste caused a lot of trouble for Bell, and then poor Bell continued to switch to steamed buns, noodles, pies and other noodle foods. It was miserable for a while.

Among all the food, braised noodles and pancakes are Bernard's favorite food, no way, when I was a student in my last life, I loved to eat pancakes and fruits at the back door of the school, and later stayed in school to teach, so I ate them more often, this is Bernard's favorite!

Bernard was now happy to eat, but Bell's little heart was trembling, and in the process of learning, he thought that his pride as a house-elf had been defeated, which made Bernard comfort him for a long time.

Seriously, Bernard felt that after moving out to live alone, he seemed to have gained a lot of weight, and pinched the flesh on his face, and Bernard ruthlessly refused the last bite of noodle soup.

Rubbing his stomach, Bernard walked to the study to carefully check the Christmas gifts to be sent out tomorrow, as a senior Celestial Empire person, Bernard is naturally well versed in the knack of gift-giving, just one word - do what he likes.

As one of the most famous alchemists of our time, Nick Lemay lacks nothing but to see new research in alchemy.

Then there is Madame Maxim, an opal necklace designed especially for her by Bernard, who is sure that Madame Maxim, who is a half-blood giant, will love this necklace.

After carefully examining it, Bernard frowned, as if he was making some difficult decision, and finally gritted his teeth and pulled out a wad of parchment from his pocket, replacing the gift he had planned to give to Dumbledore.

has always been because the timing and attitude of his entry into Hogwarts are a little delicate, so that Lao Deng has not been waiting to see him, and even tested himself when they met for the first time, if it weren't for the fact that his glasses have improved several times since he was a student, he would have fallen on Lao Deng's way if he couldn't say it.

Moreover, he took the risk to get the diary and give it to Dumbledore, although Bernard forced himself not to think about it, but he still unconsciously took it out and went through it in his brain when he had time.

As Beauxbatons' best student in recent decades, and a disciple of Nick Lemay, Bernard knows more about the hidden knowledge of magic than the average wizard, and knowledge is power, no matter where it is.

During the course of his tutor's teaching, as well as some private exchanges with Madame Maxim, Bernard learned that Beauxbatons had other internal monitoring methods in addition to the external defense system, such as the unmarkable charm, so he had reason to believe that Dumbledore should be well aware of what was happening.

Not to mention anything else, the portraits hanging in the corridors of Hogwarts are the eyes and ears of the Headmaster, these portraits made of magic are injected into their own thoughts by the protagonist of the portrait before his death, which can be regarded as an alternative life continuation, and if they want to "live" vividly forever, then a stable supply and maintenance of magic is essential, just imagine, where else in the world is safer, safer and more stable than Hogwarts?

Throughout the long years, even the founders of Hogwarts, the family of the Big Four have disappeared from the public, gradually disappearing into the long river of history, but Hogwarts is still standing, I believe that anyone with a brain should know how to choose, not to mention these wizards who were the masters of a generation before their deaths.

Obviously, under normal circumstances, ordinary people who pay attention to the portraits that have long been commonplace on the wall, and everyone talks so casually in the corridors and rooms, which provides an opportunity for these portraits to listen to the news.

In addition to the portrait, Bernard believes that Hogwarts definitely has other means of defense, you know, the purpose of the three major European schools of magic is not simple, and they all reflect some military value to a greater or lesser extent.

Therefore, Bernard was very puzzled about the fact that Ginny was able to release the basilisk to attack so many times without incident, not always thinking that old Deng loved to engage in conspiracy theories, but that some of Dumbledore's behaviors were too suspicious. Although the phoenix is magical and can cross space, Fawkes can appear in the secret room just right, which has to make people suspicious.

But in any case, Bernard did not want more dangers to happen again, and acted decisively when he had already grabbed the greatest benefits, even if it really disrupted Dumbledore's plan, Bernard would not regret it.

……

"Merry Christmas! Grandmother! Bernard's affectionate greeting to his grandmother, while sitting on the stool unceremoniously, these years in Bernard's careful management and grandmother's growing age, Bernard's relationship with his grandmother is getting better and better, and the pain of his daughter's death has gradually been filled by the grandson who has grown up to become a talent, watching the descendants grow up and become talents, may be the common wish of every old man.

Looking at the wrinkles on his grandmother's face, Bernard sighed, over the years, her grandmother has not given up searching for her biological father, for this, Bernard doesn't care very much, and even the old lady herself doesn't care too much about this problem, but this matter has been done for so many years, and she can't let go of it for a while.

After opening a nice bottle of champagne and eating my grandmother's favorite home-cooked crepes, the Rochefort grandparents spent Christmas in such a dull way, and for the rest of the day, Bernard didn't think about anything, to his Dumbledore's plan, to his diary, to his attack.

Bernard lived at home for more than half a month, every day his grandmother played cards, drank tea, watched dramas, and the small days once flew happily, but unfortunately the happy time was always short-lived, carrying his small suitcase, wearing a black suit, Bernard waved his hand to his grandmother, and the phantom moved away.
