Chapter Eighty-Eight: Snowy Days and Quidditch
"Rozier, you're going to change your mind!" Claude Lowe stared at Xiwen in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth curled.
"Master Grindelwald will be the ultimate victor, and all our actions are for the greater good." His voice was seductive. "The Rozier family has helped the adults a lot, and you, as the heir of the Rozier family, if you really take refuge, Lord Grindelwald will definitely ignore the past ......."
"Enough!" Minister Foley stops Professor Lowley with an extremely ugly look on his face, and shouts angrily. "Take them away!"
Subsequently, he hastily announced the end of the trial.
When the trial was over, Secretary Foley walked up to Shewin and Sandrine, took off his hat, and said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Rozier and Mr. Rozier Jr. It was our negligence that caused the prisoners to run into you. ”
"You really should do some soul-searching, Minister Foley!" Sandrine wasn't going to get used to him, and said very politely. She then pulled Xiwen out of the courtroom.
Shewin noticed that Minister Foley's face was gloomy.
……
On the way back, walking up the stairs at the back of the courtroom, the two of them once again passed through the black door of the Department of Mysteries.
Xiwen deliberately slowed down, squinting his eyes to feel the energy inside the door.
This door is very insulated, and you can only vaguely feel some energy fluctuations seeping out. And it was this faint energy fluctuation that made Xiwen feel very cordial.
That's the power of time.
Xiwen laughed in relief and relaxed. He then followed Sandrine up the elevator on the ninth floor and left the Department of Mysteries.
The trial took more than an hour, and the peak period for the staff of the Ministry of Magic had long since passed, and the main hall of the Ministry of Magic was now very empty.
The two of them walked on the smooth floor, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the narrow hall, which was particularly crisp.
"As soon as we parted this time, we couldn't see each other for more than a month!" Sandrine's tone seemed a little resentful, and she instructed in a broken way. "Don't take it upon yourself to stay at school at Christmas, remember to go home on time, I'll pick you up at the station then!"
"I see, Mom." Xiwen reluctantly agreed. In his heart, he silently regretted that his plan to stay in the school to improve the combination spell casting seemed to be in vain......
The two hugged and said goodbye to each other.
Then, under Sandrine's reluctant gaze, Sevin stepped into the fireplace on the other side of the main hall and returned to Hogwarts.
……
After that, his time at Hogwarts became uneventful, with daily classes, eating, sleeping, practicing spell combinations at night, and alchemy with Dumbledore on weekends.
The ghost Xiwen is not affected by day and night, and occasionally wanders around the castle with Helena, most of the time reading books, and reading the materials of the first-grade course under Helena's nose in the open.
Now think about it, if you still hide Helena's true identity alone, how inconvenient will life be?
In front of Helena, it was difficult to find a suitable reason just to find information for the little wizard Xiwen. Not to mention that because they are the same person, many of the habits of the ghost Xiwen and the little wizard Xiwen are extremely similar.
With Helena's intelligence, sooner or later the relationship between the soul body and the body will be revealed. At that time, if you hide it for too long and lie too much, maybe there will really be misunderstandings and estrangements between the two!
And now it's good, both of them are open to each other, understanding each other, comforting each other.
……
In the dull and fulfilling campus life, time flies by. Before you know it, snowflakes are falling, draping Hogwarts Castle in a silvery white gown.
The weather was cold, and the young wizards all changed into winter fleece school robes, added thick sweaters, and wore the classic Hogwarts striped scarf around their necks.
At this point, Shivin and his three roommates each wore a green striped scarf representing Slytherin, and walked deep and shallow in the clearing north of the castle.
The clearing was already covered with snow, and they rustled on the snow, leaving behind a trail of footprints that stretched from the castle to the Quidditch pitch. There are many such footprints, which shows that even the wind and snow cannot stop the love of the little wizards for Quidditch.
"So why should we watch a Quidditch match on such a snowy day, with a cold wind and heavy snow, which is not clear at all?" Mobley, who had no talent for flying at all, had no interest in Quidditch and complained to Abu all the time on the road.
"I also wonder why a Quidditch match can't be postponed?" Xiwen nodded in agreement.
On this snowy weekend, I could have stayed in a luxurious underground room and studied combination spells, or I could have gone to Dumbledore's Transfiguration Director's office to learn alchemy. In the warmth of his office, Dumbledore would also entertain himself with a variety of sweets and hot honey tea, not to mention how comfortable!
However, now that he has to watch the game in the cold wind, a game that could last all day, or even a few days and nights if he can't catch the Golden Snitch, it's no wonder that he agrees with Mobley's idea.
"You don't understand." Abraxas said inscrutablely. "Quidditch in the snow is the romance of the players, and the snow is more suitable for the court!"
Xiwen: "......"
……
The Quidditch pitch is a large oval pitch with a grassy floor, but now it has been covered in a thick layer of snow and turned a snow-white color.
The stadium is surrounded by a number of tower-like stands. These stands are extremely tall and often require a few moments of climbing up a metal staircase to reach the spectator seats above the stands.
Of course, most of those seats were reserved for the referees, commentators, and professors, and the young wizards mainly watched Quidditch from the circular seats that circled around the field.
"Tergeo."
"Impervius."
In his Slytherin seat, Sven first cast a spell to clear the snow from the seat in front of him, and then cast a fire and water spell on himself to stop the snow from falling on him, before he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with his scarf and robe wrapped in his scarf.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the three roommates around him looking at him with hopeful eyes.
So Shiwen also cast a fire and water spell on Gomez and Mobley, but left Abu alone.
"Hey! Why don't you add this snow spell for me? Abu asked dissatisfied.
"Quidditch in the snow is the romance of the players!" Xiwen teased. "Aren't you inspired to become a Slytherin Seeker? You can't be a player in the first year, but it's not bad to experience the romance of a player in advance! ”
Both Gomez and Mobley couldn't hold back and laughed gloatingly.
Abu indignantly made an international friendly gesture to Xiwen, and then really bravely rejected the curse of fire and water, and watched the ball game against the wind and snow.
