Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Power Beyond Life
Being fined fifty Galleons is undoubtedly worse for the Wesley family, who are not wealthy in the first place.
But if you think about it, it's not that serious.
Bill and Charlie are both adult workers, and their work is difficult, the salary is correspondingly large, and the work place is far away from people, and the cost is not large.
Fifty Galleons is not even a month's salary for the two of them...... It's easy to pay.
But the Wesleys still look poor, and for simple reasons...... They spend as much as they earn every day, and they don't have any savings, and when they encounter emergencies, they are naturally stretched.
Just like the original plane, Arthur Weiss came to win the jackpot of 700 Galleons, and the deposit in the treasury was pitiful, the youngest son couldn't even afford to change a new wand, and his daughter used second-hand books......
A normal family suddenly has this huge amount of money, not to mention storing it in the treasury, at least it will not be squandered lavishly.
But Weslai and his family traveled directly to Egypt, and in one summer, quickly spent most of their money, and then fell into a daily shortage of money again.
Their family's predicament is really more of their own reason!
The brawl between Malfoy and Harry didn't last long before Snape walked in from outside the Great Hall, waved his wand and quickly separated the group.
"Fight!" Snape grinned, "That's good, Potter, I'll see how many points I should deduct from you...... Professor McGonagall will love this Christmas present when she returns. ”
"It was Malfoy who caused the trouble first, he just insulted Ron's family." Harry exclaimed.
"What I saw was the two of you beating up Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe, the three of them just defending themselves."
"Gryffindor deducted fifty points!" Snape said in a hoarse voice, "And you, Scamander......"
Rove raised an eyebrow and said, "Professor Snape, I wasn't involved in the fight. ”
"You didn't fight, but as a classmate, you didn't take the initiative to stop this conflict, and you didn't report it to the professor......" Snape sneered: "Hufflepuff deducted ten." ”
“……”
Rove was furious, and if he went to help, Snape might say that he was involved in the brawl...... Facts aside, of course, there is always an excuse to deduct points.
"But ......," Snape said abruptly, "if you can give me a bottle of basilisk's venom, I won't deduct points." ”
“……”
Rove and Snape haggled, and finally exchanged a vial of Venom for twenty cents.
Both sides felt that they were not losing, and even felt that they were earning.
Malfoy also felt that he had made a lot of money, and although he had been beaten and his cheeks were swollen, he walked away as if he had won a great battle.
After all, Snape deducted points for Gryffindor.
Win!
"I'm going to teach him a lesson," Ron said through gritted teeth, looking at Malfoy's back, "someday, I'm going to hold his head down and lecture him hard."
Why didn't Dumbledore expel such people? It must have been Malfoy who opened the Chamber of Secrets and attacked Filch and Lady Paces. ”
"How do you know?" Harry asked.
"Does that need to be said?" Ron coughed and said:
"Malfoy hated Muggles the most, calling them mudbloods...... Their family has been Slytherin for generations, and they may have held the key to the secret room for centuries! ”
Harry agrees with this statement, and he and Ron begin to come up with small ideas to prove that Malfoy is a descendant of Slytherin.
But without Hermione's help in making the polyjuice potion, Rove didn't know what the two of them would do.
Soon, the dinner began.
As Christmas night, Dumbledore did not stay at Hogwarts and returned to Hogwarts to eat with the remaining students.
Of course, Professor Snape was there.
Rove had also experienced this in his previous life at the university, and when he stayed at the school during the Chinese New Year, the school leaders would come over to hold condolence activities.
In addition to making dumplings and talking homely, they will also send a few hundred yuan of New Year's money, and even occasionally students from the city come to rub red envelopes.
However, since the epidemic, the number of students staying in school has increased suddenly, and the school has canceled the payment process...... What a pity!
Not many students stayed at Hogwarts this year, but the dinner was still very rich:
Fat chicken roasted and browned, mountains of roasted meat and boiled potatoes, large plates of sausages, bowls of buttered peas...... In addition to this, there are gifts such as wizard packets and firecrackers.
This kind of colored bag firecracker is similar to a blind box, and after the explosion, different items will be blown up.
Rove was unlucky enough to get quite a few rats, so he left them all for Lady Loris as a Christmas meal.
After the dinner, the boy left the auditorium alone and walked to the principal's office, where he came to the dripping stone beast and whispered:
"Merry Christmas...... Chilled lemon juice! ”
"You're happy too, boy!" The dripping stone beast jumped to the side, revealing its entrance.
Rove walked up the spiral staircase to the oak door, reached out and knocked on it.
"Come in." Dumbledore's voice rang out.
Rove pushed the door in, and he politely greeted the portraits on the wall:
"Merry Christmas, Principals."
The portraits who pretended to be asleep opened their eyes and greeted Rove, and Phoenix shouted even louder:
"Scamander, where's the Christmas present?"
"I haven't received any gift from you either." Rove smiled and said, "Let's settle at best." ”
"Hey, that's stingy!"
Turning to Phoenix, he sat down in his chair and stared slightly, only to see that on the principal's desk, there was also a bottle containing a black substance.
Dumbledore turned to a cupboard, and he pulled out a shallow stone basin and placed it on his desk.
"Rove, do you know what this is?" Dumbledore asked.
Rove read the runi on the stone basin, and he translated it again: "Meditation basin." ”
"That's right, I remember that during the summer vacation, Nicol started teaching you Runiwen." Dumbledore was a little surprised, and he complimented, "You're a quick learner. ”
"I'm pretty good at memory, Professor." Rove grinned and pretended as well.
With that silverfish's magical "Word Eater", Rove's memory has indeed increased greatly, and he is even more powerful than Hermione.
"My memory is not good." Dumbledore smiled, "There's so much stuff in my head that I have to use the meditation basin from time to time." ”
Dumbledore raised his wand and slipped the tip of it into his silver hair, near his temple. When he pulled out his wand, there seemed to be some silver hair stuck to the tip of the wand.
Dumbledore threw the memory into the meditation basin, and he held up the black bottle and said:
"Rove, I told you earlier that there's a power of fear in it...... The man is crafting a transcendent being. ”
"Next, I'm going to show you how that kind of thing is made!"
