CHAPTER XXXVII
"So, all he needs is a hair from you?" asked Hoyt for the Nth time as the two of them ate.
"Yes, he asked me for a hair, and if you ask again, the lamb chops on your plate will be mine. ”
"Here you go, you're here. Hoyt happily forked the lamb chops from his plate and placed them on Sally's plate. "Do you know what he's going to do?"
"I don't know. Sally ate garlic lamb chops and decided to answer him one more question.
"Okay. Hoyt, however, felt that he could not ask anything. He ate two bites of mashed potatoes and asked another topic, "The professor is counting the list of people coming home for Christmas, you know, it's the only big thing in the academy." Do you want to sign up?"
Sally took the fork's hand and smacked. He then continued to eat, not answering Hoyt's question.
Hoyt also didn't ask with a look, and after the two of them ate the last bite of mashed potatoes in a rare slow manner, Sally smiled and said, "Please, why don't you please." ”
"Got it figured?" Hoyt reconfirmed.
"Hey, you can't just keep me here just because you can't get out of here, at the latest, and I'm almost supposed to leave this time next year. Don't be sad, I'll give you some tasty food. Sally gave Hoyt a rare pat on the shoulder.
"Who's upset?" said Hoyt, shaking off Sally's hand, "You'd better hurry up, I'm upset to see that Christmas in the province is crying." ”
"Hey, you dare to dislike me. Sally seemed to hit him with the thick book in her hand, and the two left the dining hall laughing.
Sally went to the teacher to register, because she didn't go back last year, so she could leave on the first boat this year, but even if it was the first boat, because there were many students, there were many places to go around, Sally roughly calculated, and when she arrived at Hogwarts, it was estimated that it would be Christmas Eve.
The next month was still about studying, and because Sally had a good foundation, she was at ease in studying magic medicine. She had promised Professor Harden to compile a magical medicine for the library before leaving. On top of that, she's also put a lot of effort into Transfiguration, as she's discovered that it's possible to conjure something out of thin air if you can really master the subject.
It was Saturday, and in the evening they had done the same thing, and Sally left the classroom, this time to the top floor, and when the bell rang, the door opened.
The headmaster, still wearing the mask, could not see his expression, and when Sally entered, he handed her a letter, which Sally opened to see four names written on it: Mila Joyce, Hoha City Bruch, Ryan Chiss, and Kurubat Menki.
"The Three Spells were discovered, created, and named by these four people, and this is my message to you. Among them, the first students are already people from ninety years ago, so I don't know if they are alive or where. But "he took out another blood-red stone." "Even if the four students are not together, or even have never met, but Kurumbat, the youngest one, sums up all the empirical knowledge of the four of them and finds the other three people, and drops the blood with the connection on the stone together, and it can take you to four people. You write the first letter of any person's name on it, keep the handwriting intact, if the stone loses its light, it means that it has passed away, if it shines, you will find that the closer you get to that person, the stronger the light will be, and when you find that person and erase the handwriting, it will change back to its original appearance. Got it?"
Sally nodded, taking the stone. But she didn't leave, she dared and asked, "May I know why you want a hair from me?"
The headmaster didn't answer her, just waved his hand. Sally took her things and left, and the moment she closed the door, the man with his head down raised his head, looked at the closed wooden door, and remembered the future he saw in the crystal ball.
The third headmaster of the school, who is best at divination, has spent forty years storing the future of his divination in a crystal ball, which can be consulted until the next headmaster who is good at divination appears. All the information about the three spells has not been asked by no one over the years, but once these three spells are really implemented, it can be said that they have broken all the laws of the world and violated the laws of life that cannot be violated. Therefore, only those who are destined, or those who meet the requirements, can get the key to open the door of the taboo. He put Sally's hair on the crystal ball and saw her future, with the appearance of these three spells, so he left the message to her.
Although, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, but it would happen, because the prophecy had not missed a single thing until now.
Sally only briefly told Hoyt what had happened, and he knew that it was very important, so the acquaintance didn't ask in detail. Sally wasn't obsessed with finding the Three Charms at school, she put the letter and the stone in her bracelet and pondered it when she graduated from here. She had already made up her mind and was ready to leave early, but no one had said yet.
At the end of December, she left on the first boat, but there were only two in total. As she expected, by the time she walked out of the Forbidden Lake at Hogwarts, it was already Christmas time for breakfast.
Lifting the water barrier spell on her body, she couldn't help but shiver even if she was wearing a thick cloak. The perennial temperature of Lic-Urus had taken her upon herself, and she suspected that she would catch a cold if she stood by the lake for a little longer.
"Hey, hey, is that Sally?" she heard a familiar voice, and it looked like George and Fred.
"When did you come back?" Fred asked.
"If you don't tell us, it's not enough friends. I should have sent back the big cake my mother gave you. George said with a smile.
"I just arrived. Sally gestured to the lake. "Okay, okay, let's go in and say, okay? I'm going to freeze. ”
"Of course. George said, "I probably have some butterbeer there." ”
"Thank goodness. Sally smiled, "I'm missing this." ”
When they arrived at the auditorium, Sally realized that she had miscalculated, apparently it was late in the winter and there were few people in the auditorium for breakfast. Sally misses the days when Hogwarts ate freely. It seems that this wish can only be fulfilled until noon.
After a few bites of the pie, George and Fred secretly brought butterbeer, in an opaque jar, and Mrs. Weasley's Christmas presents: a purple sweater and a huge cake.
"It's a big lap like the previous year. Fred said as he handed her the cake. "You didn't come back last year, George and I finished eating your piece, God, I didn't want to eat it for at least half a year. ”
"What about the people in the auditorium, why are there so few?" asked Sally.
"Oh my God, you don't know yet!" said George, surprised, and then he and Fred gave me a quick look and told Sally about the Goblet of Fire and Harry being the fourth Champion, and told him that there was a Christmas Ball tonight.
"I said I saw a couple of people dressed differently. Sally laughed and took a sip of her beer. "Saying so ... ”
"Sally!" she heard a call, and saw Harry running in three steps and two steps, followed by Ron and Hermione. Harry hugged her tightly for a long time, "Why didn't you come back last year?" ”
"I forgot about the previous year. Sally sloppied, "You're still worried about me, how are you?"
"Stop laughing at me. Harry said. "Ron got into a fight with me over this, but we've reconciled. Let me look at you, are you okay?"
Harry looked at Sally, his eyes were still the same, his nose was still the same nose, but he always felt that something had changed.
"You've gotten taller. Sally said from the bottom of her heart that she used to be about the same height as Harry, maybe a finger taller, but after two years, he was half a head taller than her.
"You've become pretty. Harry said. Sally couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, Ron, Hermione, how are you? I have to say, Hermione, you're pretty. ”
"Thank you. Hermione looked pleased. The six of them talked in the Great Hall for a long time, and it was not until lunch was approaching that they came to the Great Hall one after another, all eyes on them (Sally suspected that Harry was here, since she was not wearing a Slytherin uniform at this time), that they agreed to meet again in the evening, and then parted.
Sally saw the Slytherin people coming from afar, thought for a moment, took the Christmas gifts from them, and got up to leave.
