Chapter 132: Christmas Holidays

"Nonsense," retorted Hagrid, firmly, "Snape was a teacher at Hogwarts, and he would never do anything like that." Xia Yi also had this idea.

"Then why did he want to kill Harry?" Hermione asked aloud.

The events of this afternoon seemed to have changed her opinion of Snape a lot.

"If I see evil intentions, I will recognize them. I've read all about them in books! You have to make eye contact with them, Snape's eyes don't blink, I see it!"

"I'm telling you, you're wrong!" Hagrid said irritably, "I don't know why Harry's broomstick behaves the way it does, but there's no way Snape would want to kill a student!" Now, all three of you listen to me - you're meddling in things that have nothing to do with you. It's dangerous. Forget Lowe, forget what it's guarding for, it's between Professor Dumbledore and Nicol Lemay—"

"Aha!" Harry said, "There's a guy named Nicol Lemay involved, doesn't it?"

Hagrid was furious, he was angry with himself.

The conversation had become like this, and naturally there was no way to continue, and the four of them said goodbye to Hagrid and left the cabin.

Charon barely spoke during the conversation, he and Hagrid had the same idea, Professor Snape would not be the culprit, but he couldn't explain the evidence of Ron and Hermione, what the hell was going on?

For the next few days, everyone was trying to find out the truth. Charon stared at Professor Quirrell naturally, while Harry and Ron turned their suspicious gazes at Professor Snape. Hermione, on the other hand, simply thought that both Snape and Quirrell had a problem, and she gave herself the task of going to the library to find out what the name Nicol Lemay represented, as Hagrid had told her.

The result? Nothing was left for all. Charon didn't notice any unusual behavior on the part of Professor Quirrell. Harry and Ron's hostility towards Professor Snape only led to more questions and points deductions from Snape's Potions class. As for Hermione, she had been looking for Nicol Lemay's name in the books. The trouble is, she doesn't know where to start, and she doesn't know what Nicol Lemay has to write about in the book. This name is not in "The Great Wizard of the Twentieth Century", nor is it in the "Directory of Famous Magicians of the Present Generation". In addition, his name is not found in "The Great Discoveries of Modern Magic" and "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft". Hermione made a list of topics and titles she had decided to look for. Of course, this is a daunting task, and the sheer size of the library's collection alone is prohibitive, with thousands of books, thousands of shelves, and hundreds of narrow passages.

The days passed, and Christmas was just around the corner.

Charon's troll skeleton is finally finished. Despite Charon's repeated compressions, the troll skeleton was still huge, more than two meters. He gave the skeleton a two-handed greatsword. When the troll skeleton is driven to perform the heavy sword swordsmanship, it is majestic and overflowing, no less than a second-rate master who is proud of the world. The entire skeleton is jet black and shining, like an iron giant, and its protective power is also leveraged, and its comprehensive strength is no less than those first-class masters of the outer gate.

Charon is also satisfied!

If you ignore the skull head of the troll in front of you, it looks more like a steel robot! This one, made of a steel skeleton, looks very strong and unshakable. This guy knows at a glance that it is a very powerful defensive meat shield that should be able to resist a large number of attacks. Troll skeletons also have some self-healing abilities so that they can automatically repair slightly damaged skeletons when attacked. This huge, unshakable steel skeleton, exuding an intimidating aura, is perfectly capable of protecting Charon from threats.

One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts School was covered with several feet of snow and the lake was covered with hard ice. The Weasley twins were punished for enchanting several snowballs and causing them to chase Quirrell around and smash them behind his turban. Several owls flew through the snowy skies to deliver their mail, and they had to regain their strength under the care of their owners before they could continue to take off.

Everyone can't wait for the holiday. While fires were blazing in the Gryffindor common room and auditorium, the windswept corridors were chilling, and the windows of the classrooms were rattling in the bitter wind.

This Quidditch match was a major blow to Malfoy, who was even more gloomy than before. He was outraged by the Slytherin defeat, saying that the next match would be a large-mouthed frog replacing Harry as the Seeker. He wanted to make everyone laugh, but no one found his words ridiculous, as everyone admired Harry for being able to stay firmly on his rampage broomstick. Jealous and angry, Malfoy turned around and laughed at Harry for not having a decent family.

However, Charon only turned his head to look at Malfoy, and then his face turned white, and he turned his head away, not daring to provoke again.

Malfoy's attack did make Harry uncomfortable, as he really didn't want to go back to Aunt Privet Road's house for Christmas. Last week, Professor McGonagall came over to register the list of students who were staying on campus for the holidays, and Harry immediately signed it. He didn't feel sorry for himself at all. It was probably the best Christmas of his life. Ron and his two twin brothers are also ready to stay, as the Weasleys are traveling to Romania to visit Charlie.

Charon and Hermione regret not being able to stay with them because they are going home for Christmas. This was requested by her mother, Lisa, in a recent letter, and Charon did not dare to disobey it.

Charon, Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet Hagrid and his fir tree on the way, and accompany him to the Great Hall, where Professors McGonagall and Flitwick are busy decorating the Christmas decorations.

"Ah, Hagrid, the last tree has been brought in—in the corner over there, okay?"

The auditorium is beautiful and spectacular. 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.

"How many days are left before we have a holiday?" Hagrid asked.

"It's only one day." Hermione said, "Oh, that reminds me - there's still half an hour to eat, and we should go to the library." ”

"Library?" Hagrid said, following them out of the auditorium, "Reading a book on vacation?" It's too hard, huh?"

"Oh, we're not reviewing our homework." Harry happily said to him, "Ever since you mentioned Nicol Lemay, we've been trying to figure out who he is. ”

"What?" Hagrid looked horrified. "Listen to me—I told you—stop. The big dog guarding something has nothing to do with you. ”

"We just want to know who Nicol Lemay is, nothing else." Hermione said.

"Are you willing to tell us lest we have to bother?" Harry added, "We've looked through at least a hundred books, and we haven't found a shadow of him—just give us a hint—I know where I've seen his name." ”

"I'm not going to say anything." Hagrid said dryly.

"Then we'll have to find it ourselves." Ron said. They hurried to the library, leaving Hagrid alone with an angry look on his face.

Hermione pulled the list out of her pocket and pressed the map. Harry and Ron wandered in front of a row of books, aimlessly pulling some books out of the shelves. Charon unwittingly wandered into the forbidden book area. Unfortunately, any forbidden books must be found with a note signed by a teacher, and these books contain powerful dark arts that are never taught in Hogwarts classrooms, and can only be read by older students when they are studying the advanced "Defence Against the Dark Arts".

"What are you looking for, kid?"

"Just take a look." Charon replied with a smile.

Mrs. Pins, the librarian, waved a feather duster at him, she was not afraid of the notoriety of the Shafiq family. On the contrary, she kept an eye on Charon, as if she had a premonition that he wanted to sneak into the forbidden book section.

"Then you'd better get out. Let's go—get out!"

Charon had no choice but to leave the library, he was intrigued by the ban just now, whether he wanted to sneak into the forbidden area at night to see, but he didn't know what interesting books were in it.

Charon waited in the hallway outside to see if the other two would find out, but he didn't have much hope. They've been looking for two weeks, but they're only using their spare time, so it's not surprising that they find nothing.

Five minutes later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione returned to him, shaking their heads in disappointment. They went to lunch together.

"You're going to keep searching while I'm away, okay?" Hermione said, "As soon as you find something, send an owl to tell me." ”

The Christmas holidays had finally arrived, and Charon hurriedly pulled Hermione to set off, and if she went back late, her mother would be babbling on and on.

Before the two set off, Charon also checked whether they had pulled down the Christmas gifts for their families.

For this batch of Christmas gifts, Xia Yi also spent a lot of effort.

Father Aiagos, a large bottle of tendon strengthening pills will be done, this is also the most suitable for him, the body is getting stronger and stronger, the body is getting more and more agile, for a necromancer, there is no better gift. The real-life necromancers are not thin and weak people who are out of breath after running a few steps, they are athletic, powerful, and good at swordsmanship, and they are also good at melee attacks.

As for his mother, Lisa, Charon deliberately took great pains to open the furnace and refine more than a dozen Zhuyan Pills. This elixir is said to be able to make people stay young forever and be young forever, but in fact it only has the effect of slowing down aging. Although Charon thinks this thing is useless, it is sought after among girls, and the price is expensive, and it is also a fist product that makes a lot of money in the world Fuwei Dart Game. Charon spent a considerable amount of money to gather the spirit grass auxiliary materials needed for a furnace of elixir. Fortunately, there are many of them. Enough for Mother Lisa.
