Chapter 68: A Collision Between Nations
...
And not far from the hut where the two were negotiating.
In another, more intimate house, Lady Atropos, is teaching Anthony how to open the Celestial Eye.
Although Anthony doesn't want to be a Erlang God, he has the privilege of being the only first-year wizard in Hogwarts who can leave Hogwarts on Saturday and go to Hogsmeade Village.
He still held back and did not reject the so-called prophetic teachings of becoming.
Then he would be patient enough to listen to Atropos talk about the things that the gods were talking about.
What kind of eyes?
What kind of astrological signs?
What fate?
Anthony's ears were calloused when he listened, and he really wanted to get up directly and take his wand and roar, the old man is a staunch materialist, okay!
It's a pity that these words can't come out of his mouth.
Because it's going to look weird.
"Ah...... Anthony, did you see that? In the room, Atropos suddenly exclaimed.
Anthony was excited, and his originally sleepy nerves immediately tensed, and a crystal ball was placed in front of him.
The ball of smoke is constantly changing.
"Ahh Forehead... I see..."
He kept blinking, staring at the crystal, imagining this, the smoke.
Well... It looked like a chicken leg.
Next to the chicken thighs... Like a... Egg tarts.
Forehead... Next to the tart... Oh! It's still a chicken leg.
This...
I am hungry!
Yes~~~~
Think about it, think about it, Anthony.
Think about how Harry fooled Professor Sybil Trelawney after that.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, then coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, I see a crisis." ”
"Oh? What crisis do you see? Lady Atropos raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.
"I see the world in a gloom, and something important is about to happen. Right in Northern Europe, um... Very important thing. ”
Anthony's solemn and solemn look succeeded in amusing Lady Atropos.
She reached out and touched his head, then lightly tapped the crystal, and the smoke cleared, leaving only a pure crystal ball.
"That's it for today!" She said.
"You're going on vacation, aren't you?"
"Yes, ma'am." Anthony quickly breathed a sigh of relief, it was really tiring to lie, and it was finally over, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief and said: "Today is the last day, and tomorrow we will have a holiday." ”
"Hmm!" Lady Atropos said lightly, "Anthony? ”
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Anthony, who had already gotten up to leave, turned his head suddenly.
"Merry Christmas!"
"You are also Merry Christmas."
Anthony's lips went up and he smiled wide.
Please, don't torture me after Christmas.
Thinking to himself, his steps couldn't help but speed up a little.
Then, Anthony's three steps turned into two steps and fled quickly.
"Humph! This little one. ”
Looking at Anthony's rather embarrassed figure, Atropos, a centenarian, couldn't help but smile like a child.
She put the crystal ball away and looked out the window, where the afternoon sun shone into a corner of the house.
"The snow has stopped?"
Yes, the snow stopped.
However, it's still cold.
After walking out of the house, a cold wind blew, and Anthony couldn't help but shrink his neck, and along the street, his eyes followed to the end of the streetscape.
In the distance, in front of what looked like a dangerous building, stood a stunningly attractive witch.
The black-gold hood rested on top of her head, and those amber eyes popped out from the bottom of the hood from time to time.
Wow! It's beautiful!
That face was just a glimpse, but it gave Anthony a sense of déjà vu...
Forehead...
Don't look at a pretty girl and say déjà vu, what is this Aquaman speech.
He pursed his lips and spit secretly.
The girl in the distance seemed to notice Anthony's eyes, she turned her head to look at him, and then turned away.
After seeing that it was just a young wizard, Cang Shui silently withdrew his eyes and disappeared around the corner along the street.
And Anthony didn't take the beautiful scenery on this road to heart, Hogsmeade is the only pure wizarding village in the whole of England, and there are many wizards who come and go every day, just a beautiful witch, nothing strange.
Thinking to himself, Anthony walked down the mountain road and drove back to Hogwarts Castle on his lower legs.
On his way back to the castle, he happened to bump into Hagrid.
He was carrying a huge fir tree on his back and walking towards the castle.
Anthony didn't have much ill feeling for the giant who had nearly pinched him to death, after all, Hagrid was a good man except for his love of raising dangerous magical creatures.
And because of Harry, he actually had a pretty good relationship with Hagrid.
Anthony drew his wand and immediately cast a levitation charm on the fir tree behind Hagrid.
In this way, the two talked and laughed along the way, and Anthony cast a spell to help Hagrid drag the fir tree used to decorate the Christmas tree to the auditorium.
At this time, the auditorium has changed greatly.
The walls were covered with weeping ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and a whole dozen towering Christmas trees were erected throughout the room, some with shiny Xiaoice pillars, others with hundreds of candles.
Spectacular and beautiful.
Many young wizards gathered here, saying their parting words to each other in twos and threes.
"Hey! Anthony, this way! ”
As soon as he walked into the auditorium, Ron on the bench yelled at him.
After parting ways with Hagrid, he walked towards Ron and Harry.
"Wow! Magical wizard chess. ”
Harry was playing wizarding chess with Ron, the kind of wizarding chess that would attack on its own.
Speaking of this kind of wizard chess, it is very magical.
In fact, most items in the wizarding world, once given magic, will have some "humanity", such as wands and wizard chess.
Those movable pieces require great trust in the owner to obey unconditionally.
In this way, wizards can effortlessly make them do their bidding.
Ron, because he has been using the worn-out wizard chess for a long time, he is not only very familiar with these chess pieces, but the chess pieces also trust Ron's chess skills very much, and the result of "running in both directions".
The other friends in the dormitory only listened to them when they played chess with Ron, and if Harry played with him, then most of the chess pieces would not obey their commands.
They even make their own moves.
In front of him, the black pieces on the chessboard are killing all sides, and the white pieces are already on the verge of defeat.
"What, do you want a plate? This game is coming to an end. Ron tilted his head and smiled.
Harry's skills were nowhere near as strong as Ron's.
"No need."
Just kidding, what level is he, I don't know?
Playing wizard chess with Ron is pure abuse.
As a member of the royal family, he naturally learned this kind of chess-like chess game, but he only tried it superficially, and his level was not even amateur.
Ron had been taught by his grandfather, Mr. Septimus Weasley.
That's a wizard chess master.
"Anthony?"
Outside the auditorium, Hermione trotted over.
She frowned at the violent game Harry and Ron were playing, then looked at Anthony and said, "How's it going, are you all packed?" ”
"I don't have anything to pack."
Anthony spread his hands, but his eyes didn't take his eyes off the wizard's chess.
It's a fun thing to give away as a Christmas present. Especially the big names like Mr. Huck, don't they all like this kind of puzzle game?
"Ron, where did you buy the wizard chess?"
"Uh... You'll have to go to Diagon Alley. Ron scratched the back of his head.
"Hogsmeade Village should be sold."
"Really?"
Anthony did decide to buy a wizard chess.
This kind of thing is very interesting, and Muggles can play it too.
Unlike in the movie, where the pieces will knock the opponent to pieces, real wizard chess will only knock over the opponent's pieces and then get out of the board.
So you don't need magic, the next time you use it, just visit again.
And what made him decide to buy such an expensive toy was because of the recent popularity of Gemini's products...
Ahem!
On the eve of Christmas, that kind of product seems to be very popular...
Anthony didn't wonder why Christmas was so good, but... But it's just selling well...
Priced at one Galleon, the "tempting bubble" sold more than 20 copies on its first day alone.
It's a bad thing for the twins.
Of course, when the money was divided, the joy on their faces quickly turned into sadness, and it was Anthony's turn to be happy.
With this income, his waist has straightened a lot.
Lunch followed.
Anthony returned to Hogsmeade and found the Wizard Chess in the Deves and Bans shops at the end of the Hogsmeade road.
It's not expensive, it's only six gold gallons.
So...
It's really not expensive...
Anthony gritted his teeth and pulled out a few pieces from his pocket like blood, before snatching Garon from Fred's pocket.
That kind of feeling, not to mention how sad it is...
Then he walked around again and bought Christmas presents for Harry and Hermione.
and a Christmas present from the Queen.
As for Ron, the guy, like his father, Mr. Arthur, loved to collect Muggle items. So he planned to pick out a gift for him when he met London.
Back and forth, a dozen Galleons shot.
Anthony seemed to have lost his soul, and his whole body collapsed.
As he walked down the street, his eyes blurred, like a ghost.
And so he wandered all the way back to the castle.
Coincidentally, I also met George, who was also wandering like a ghost.
...
The two of them took off their soul shells, said hello mechanically, and left.
And Anthony went back to the Gryffindor common room.
...
The next day.
Hogwarts has officially entered the Christmas holidays.
Early in the morning, Anthony had changed into his regular clothes, had breakfast with Hermione, and then headed to Hogsmeade Station together.
Unlike the first-year rowing and waterway, although Anthony didn't experience...
This time they set off from the main entrance and made a carriage to the station.
There aren't many little wizards on the road.
Maybe staying in school is the norm?
The empty crowd gave Anthony a comfortable ride, and he didn't have to rush to grab a spot.
Because it's easy to find an empty compartment.
At around 9 a.m., the train started slowly.
As the view flew by outside the window, his distance from London began to shrink.
in the compartment.
Hermione sat across from him, but the two didn't talk for long.
Just look at the dark circles on the little girl's eyes that can't be erased.
She must have stayed up late last night...
It should be said that Anthony has rarely seen Hermione who doesn't stay up late.
Hermione!
God who stays up late!
It's either staying up late, or on the way to staying up late.
That kind of diligent look, the people who look at it have straight hairs.
Not long after getting into the car, she fell asleep wearing a red sweater and a black robe wrapped around her neck.
Anthony didn't bother her either.
I simply leaned back in my chair and looked out the window at the speeding scenery.
