Chapter 20: Christmas and the Old Godmother

John watched the Weasley twins cast a spell on Snowball, causing Snowball to chase Quirrell's head and smash it, and he felt a little chilled.

Quirrell, who was no longer pretending to be in front of John, could not show his face in front of the other students, and could only continue to disguise his persona and smile wryly, as if he was cowardly and deceitful, but in fact, he even thought about where the Weasley twins were buried.

The cold wind beat against the windows of the Hogwarts classrooms, and the fire burned in the Great Hall, and the weather cooled down.

John rubbed his palms together and let out a white breath and landed on the glass.

Seeing that Malfoy was going to fall in love with Harry and kill him for a while before the holidays, John complained: "It is said that elementary school students will bully the people they like, and Malfoy has a crush." ”

Hegla is in the hallway with a fir tree for Christmas.

Ron was enraged first because Malfoy had said about his family.

However, Snape seemed to deliberately wait until this moment to come out, and even with Hagrid's plea, he did not hesitate to deduct Gryffindor 5 points.

Malfoy walked away triumphantly, deliberately squeezing the fir tree needles everywhere.

"I will teach him what John taught him!" Ron gritted his teeth in hatred, eager to punch Malfoy's little face as John.

Harry nodded approvingly, Malfoy and Snape were the two people he hated the most at Hogwarts.

Hagrid poured cold water, "That's probably hard, John is the best wizard I've ever met, come with me to the auditorium, and John will go with you." ”

Ron was in a bad mood for a moment, and Hagrid invited them to see the almost decorated auditorium, and John was about to see how Christmas was celebrated in the wizarding world.

The auditorium was beautifully set up by Professors McGonagall and Flitwick.

The walls are covered with weeping ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and twelve towering Christmas trees stand in all directions.

Some trees have small shiny Xiaoice pillars, while others have hundreds of candles flashing on them.

Hagrid sent the last one, and it was over when he finished decorating the tree.

Hagrid began to look forward to Christmas, asking, "How many days are left?" ”

"It's only one day, and that's a reminder to me, there's still half an hour left before we can go to the library."

Hermione did not forget Nicol Lemay and extended an invitation to John, "John, do you want to come with us?" ”

"Well, being idle is also idle." John thought about it and was quite concerned, so he agreed.

Hagrid asked curiously, "You are going to read books on vacation, you must be working too hard." ”

He's in a good mood because Christmas is coming.

However, Harry soon put him in a bad mood, and Harry said happily, "We're not reviewing our homework, we're trying to figure out who Nicol Lemay is." ”

"I told you to stop, the big dog guarding something has nothing to do with you."

Surprise turned to horror, and Hagrid persuaded the three to stop the dangerous move.

However, he also underestimated Gryffindor's spirit of death, and the more he did so, the more he aroused the motivation of the three of them.

It's just that the name is too difficult to find, and the three little ones have only flipped through many books in the library and have not found it.

Hermione also made a list to make it easier to find.

When it was time for dinner, the four of them left the library.

Hermione refused to admit defeat and told them to look for it during the holidays, and it was best to tell themselves the results through the owl.

...

It's a holiday.

John eats turkey, and I have to say that this chicken really doesn't grow anything else.

Using a knife and fork to slice a piece of meat from the turkey, John felt the urge to wrap it in bread and eat it.

At the same time, his owl Basil had flown away, presumably to pick up the gifts his parents were going to send.

"This express delivery industry is really developed, if you can open an owl express company, you will definitely make a profit."

John didn't know what his parents would give, but he hoped that Old Mr. Wick wouldn't send a mouse or a black widow.

During the holidays, John tried his hand at wizarding chess.

The rules of this kind of chess are similar to those of chess, but they are more ornamental, and John just snorts when he sees his queen being smashed by Ron's horse.

John, who had suspected that he was a bad chess player, was relieved to see Harry kneel eighteen times in a row.

It was snowing outside, and John hadn't forgotten about his training.

When the mana is upgraded, the power of the spell will also increase accordingly.

It's easy to understand that magic is like a faucet, and the water in the faucet determines the size of the water.

Before, his magic power was insufficient, and the spells he released were not very powerful.

After level 3, the power of the spell increased a lot, and John could learn more attack spells.

But the first thing he learned was a defensive charm.

"Protego"

This is a defensive spell used to block aggression and can be used to negate most attacks.

It's a very useful spell.

Coming out of the Room of Requirement, John returned to his bedroom.

When I woke up the next morning, Basil by the bed had already returned with a present.

He opened a present, which had been given by Mrs. Wick.

It was a pair of warm gloves, hand-knitted by Mrs. Wick.

The second is Daddy Watson Wick, and the gift wrapping is a four-sided cube.

I shook it, I didn't think it could fit a mouse.

Unwrapping the gift, John saw a bottle of hot sauce inside.

Just when he didn't know why, he saw the name of this hot sauce.

"Old godmother?!"

(Cold knowledge: Lao Gan Ma was established in 1984)

Along with the gifts came a letter from Old Wick.

After opening it, the father knew that his son liked the food of that mysterious country in the East, so he relied on a lot of relationships, and finally got a bottle of Lao Gan Ma.

John couldn't wait to open the old godmother, picked up a little with a fork and put it in his mouth.

The familiar taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue after eleven years, and John almost burst into tears.

Even the gifts from Hagrid and Hermione were unimportant.

in the hall.

Harry looked curiously at the strange bottle in John's hand and asked aloud, "What is this, it smells strange?" ”

"It's chili sauce, you can try it." John's spoonful of old godmother can dip everything.

Ron changed into a dark fuchsia hand-knitted sweater, and curiously tried the old godmother, the strange taste that bloomed from the taste buds contained the heritage from the ancient country of the East.

"It tastes weird, a little spicy and a little weird."

Even so, Ron tried to dip the chicken leg in the same way as John.

The moment you eat it, it is like opening the door to a new world.

Seeing Ron like this, Harry was also curious to try.

Immediately, like Ron, he was a little obsessed with the strange taste.

Ron also brought John a creamy fudge, which tasted good and sweet.

John opens the chocolate frog Hermione had sent, and the chocolate frog inside nearly jumped away.

The twins wore the same hand-knitted sweaters as Ron, except that they were blue and had different letters.

When it came to the Christmas party, John's old godmother managed to attract more people's attention.

Dumbledore tasted the flower-adorned hat on her head, but judging by his expression, he should be disappointed that this thing was not sweet.

After the Christmas banquet, both professors and students were very happy.

...

In the Room of Requirement, John had a rare place to rest.

Taking out the chocolate frog that Hermione had given, John grabbed the frog and took a bite.

A wizard card fell from inside the box.

Dumbledore was on it.

John didn't pay attention to it, and glanced at it casually, his gaze resting on the card.

Albus Dumbledore, current Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Recognized as the greatest sorcerer of our time,

Dumbledore's well-known contributions include:

Defeated the Black Samurai Grindelwald in 1945,

Discover twelve uses of fire dragon blood.

Fruitful in alchemy with partner Nicol Lemay,

Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and the Ten Pillars of Bowl.

Looking blankly at the card, John's eyes fell on the name of Nanicol Lemay.

"Alchemy?"

Touching his chin, John remembered that he seemed to have seen something very unnatural in the records of alchemy.

Called...... Philosopher's Stone?
