Lucius let go of his wife, shook off his black cloak, and strode toward the living room.

Pulling out his high-backed chair and sitting down, Lucius took a deep breath and said in a dry tone:

"It's probably the same as I told you before, so your decision is-"

Some writhed uncomfortably in their seats, some buried their heads and pretended to be interested in the silver teacup in front of them, and some wrapped their robes tightly and murmured meaninglessly.

But no one spoke.

Lucius tapped the smooth marble floor with his snake staff, and made a tuk-tuk sound:

"Since there are no opinions, let's go ahead as we said before. Sign the Hogwarts Headmaster's impeachment letter. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but tremble, and became more and more uneasy, impeaching Dumbledore was like a provocation.

But as Lucius said, no one can afford to find himself defective if Voldemort returns.

The news that came out last semester almost sparked the stupefiers, that Voldemort was not dead, even though he was very weak.

Truth be told, no one wants to see Voldemort return, he is like a madman who increasingly scares the pure-blood families who follow him.

So after Voldemort lost power, no one wanted to go to him, but chose to be an ostrich with his head buried in the sand.

In the dormitory, Zhang Xiao and Malfoy worked hard for a long time, and finally cleaned up the gifts, compared with the previous year, the number of love letters has further increased, and the number of books is also quite large.

It can only be said that as they get older, the more obvious the meaning of those girls who want to hook up with themselves.

Finding an open place to sit down, Zhang Xiao took out the gift from Dumbledore, and after opening it, he found that it was a delicate silver square.

The cube is not very big, about the same size as the Rubik's Cube that I used to play a lot. There are also complex and delicate patterns on the surface.

What is this? Zhang Xiao looked at it curiously for a while, and found a note in the box, which read:

"This is something I asked an old friend to make, and I hope it will help you go further in Transfiguration."

Looking at the silver squares in his hand and the dense and complex patterns on the surface, Zhang Xiao studied for a while, but still felt confused.

"Zhang, we're going to the auditorium." After Malfoy packed his things, he stood in the doorway and shouted at Zhang Xiao, and he could only say that the pony who spent Christmas for the first time at school was very excited.

Zhang Xiao agreed, first stuffed the silver square into the Qiankun bag, and hurriedly walked towards the door.

When Zhang Xiao and Malfoy arrived in the auditorium, they found that there had been a big change compared to yesterday.

The whole auditorium looks magnificent. Not only were there a dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost, and thick friezes of mistletoe and holly crisscrossed on the ceiling, but there was also enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling gently from the ceiling.

The Christmas tree was full of small gift boxes and wizard firecrackers, all of which Zhang Xiao had played with last year, and only Malfoy was playing with a bunch of firecrackers in his arms.

After a while, the entire auditorium was filled with colorful smoke from the firecrackers, and Zhang Xiao had to use a whirlwind to blow them away.

Dumbledore led them in singing some of his favorite Christmas carols, and Hagrid's voice grew louder as he poured glass after glass of eggnog.

Lockhart, who had turned around before the start of school, was clearly starting to get proud again, dangling his curly blonde hair, talking in the middle of the professors and pulling Snape to have a drink with him.

Boasting loudly that the last time the dueling club was 'for the sake of his colleagues', let Snape win, and next time he won't let it again.

Snape looked at Lockhart like a fool for a moment, but finally decided not to deal with the fool and gulped down his drink alone.

Percy didn't notice that Fred had cast a spell that made the words on his prefect badge "", and stupidly asked everyone what they were laughing at.

There were so few people, so everyone sat down at a long table, and Malfoy and Harry were loudly taunting each other, mostly for Christmas presents.

Hermione wanted to discuss her homework with Zhang Xiao during the Christmas holidays, and Ron seemed to hear something extremely disgusting:

"Please, Hermione, can you please not do your homework on this happy day."

Hermione rolled her eyes and replied sharply, "We're going to have electives in third year!" Shouldn't we take advantage of the time to plan how to choose? ”

Zhang Xiao smiled and watched the little wizards make a noise.

Malfoy and Harry sat together, arguing about something.

Percy had a reserved smile on her face, giving Hermione advice in a serious manner.

Fred and George laughed wickedly, and seemed to have some funny idea.

Dumbledore sat at the podium, holding his glass and laughing, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick seemed to have drunk too much, talking about something interesting.

Snape's face was still gloomy, and he didn't know what to think, but his eyes were always on Harry's side.

If time stops at this moment, it seems to be fine.

Zhang Xiaole picked up the cup and squinted to enjoy the good time.

In the afternoon, they were going to have a snowball fight like last year, but at Hermione's suggestion, they built a snowman instead.

Fred and George build a weird-looking snowman and a mop to use as their hair, and swear that this is Penelope.

He also cast a spell on the snowman, chasing Percy around and making a sweet and greasy voice: Honey, kiss me!

Percy was going mad as he drew his wand and roared loudly to give Fred and George a good look.

So Zhang Xiao and the four little ones spent the whole afternoon watching Percy chase the twins.

For the safety of the young wizards, they were confined to the auditorium, and the professor sent them back to the common room at night.

Zhang Xiao conjured up a small square table and decided to teach them to play cards.

The explosion rules of the crackling explosion card are variable, and when Zhang Xiao threw out the king bomb, the deafening explosion directly blew up the small table, and blew up all the little wizards on the card table into black faces.

The landlord plan had to be suspended.

After another hearty dinner, the hustle and bustle fell silent and the night once again covered Hogwarts Castle like a curtain.

Malfoy had never had the experience of a whole day of playing around with his 'friends', at home at Christmas, in an empty mansion, and after the family had eaten a hearty but cold meal, he would visit other families or receive visits from others.

Malfoy was in a state of excitement for almost the whole day on the freshness of Christmas, and when he returned to the Slytherin common room, he was sleepy, yawning long and then walking towards the bed.

Zhang Xiao shook his head, and walked to the soft armchair in front of the fireplace in his thick pajamas, only now did he have time to study what novelty Dumbledore had sent.

The silver squares on the table shone in the firelight, and the complex lines on the surface seemed to have light flowing, and the weight was not light, and there was a heavy feeling in the hand.

Picking up Dumbledore's note and looking at it again, "This is something I asked my old friend to make, and I hope it will help you go further in Transfiguration." ”

What's wrong with it, can't you attach a description of how to use it or make it clear?

Why do you have to guess every time?

Zhang Xiao sighed, old friend, is it Nicola May?

Transfiguration goes even further - meaning this thing will help me with Transfiguration?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiao took out his wand and lightly tapped it on the silver square, accompanied by the light of deformation, and the complex lines on the box seemed to be glowing in the same light.

In an instant, the cube turned into a goblet, but the cup still had the intricate lines on it.

Zhang Xiao picked up the cup and looked at it several times, it was no different from an ordinary deformed goblet.

Put the cup back and hold your chin with both hands, since you mentioned Transfiguration, it must be related to Transfiguration, but how is it related?

After being stunned for a while, Zhang Xiao couldn't think of a clue, so Zhang Xiao had to poke the silver square with her wand at random, turning it into an object.

Water glasses, wine bottles, and things on the box table quickly changed their postures, and Zhang Xiao lit absentmindedly, should you go to Dumbledore?

At this time the deformed things have become more and more complex, delicate candlesticks, dressers with mirrors, alarm clocks.

Zhang Xiao suddenly stopped moving, her eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that something was not right just now?

What has changed before?

Trying to recall the previous movements, I lit the silver square again and began to deform, and I always tried it.

"Tick tock" The alarm clock with complex patterns on the silver surface walks quietly, just like a normal alarm clock.

Zhang Xiao stared at it, her eyes widened, and her heart was already full of sleep.

With the alarm clock in your hand, remove the lid from the back to reveal the complex mechanics inside.

！！！！

What is this! Zhang Xiao swallowed her saliva and looked at the alarm clock in her hand in disbelief.

Transfiguration can do a lot of incredible things.

But it is absolutely impossible to be like now, and many times, the conjured things can only be said to be "in vain, but without gods". ”

In other words, it is not impossible to conjure an alarm clock, or even make the hands of the alarm clock move, but you will never be able to deform the complex mechanical structure inside.

Because it's so complicated, it's not an animal, it's a little trick that can be given to wisdom for a short time through the unreasonable 'little tricks' of wizards.

Transfiguration is cognitive-based - meaning that the block is capable of filling in something on its own?

This. It's not scientific! No, it's not magical!

If it wasn't clear who Dumbledore's so-called old friend was, but now Zhang Xiao is 100% sure that it must be Nicola Lemay, and no one else has the ability to make such a miracle!

Zhang Xiao seemed to have discovered some novel toy, and frantically began to test this block, passed several hours of testing, and with vague guesses, he finally roughly figured out the function of this block.

To put it simply, this block seems to have a few commonly used objects, such as an alarm clock or lock, that will complete the original contents of the cube itself, rather than a look.

Staring at the squares on the table, Zhang Xiao was shocked by the magic of alchemy, but unfortunately his energy was limited, and alchemy was a discipline that required full dedication.

Nicolame was a genius in alchemy himself, and it took hundreds of years of investment to get to where he is now.

If you learn alchemy again, plus the cultivation of the demon path, it will be greedy and chewy.

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, the magic of the cube should definitely be more than what he discovered, there must be other functions, scoop the cube into his hand, and throw it up and down.

Dumbledore's gift is not insignificant, the handwritten letter to my Slytherin last year, and the cube given to me this year, what is it for?

In Ron's words, the Christmas holidays are like Bibi multi-flavored beans, which are obviously eaten and tasted in the mouth, but it is like they have eaten nothing.

The sun began to shine faintly on Hogwarts again.

The castle seemed to come back to life after the holiday, and after a full holiday, the little wizards once again ignored the previous attacks.

Madam Pomfrey was pleased to report that the mandrakes had become moody and taciturn, that is, they were rapidly moving out of childhood and into adolescence.

"As soon as their acne heals, they can be replanted." Professor Sprout said to the young wizards, "Then, it won't be long before we can cut them down and make potions."

Those poor children will come back in one piece, and I'm so sorry for them, oh my God, they've been down for almost a year. ”

Thankfully, Sister Bird's spirit is much better, and she is even willing to go out for a flight when the weather is better.

In the next semester, the class was significantly faster, and began to cover some theoretical things, in addition to teaching charms, Professor Flitwick also began to talk about some purely theoretical things, and the homework became an inquiry into the relationship between gestures and spells.

The abstract course of the transformation class is still the focus of the headache for the little wizards, Zhang Xiao is happy to enjoy it, and when he is fine, he will take out the small silver square to transform and explore the hidden other functions.

Unfortunately, not much progress has been made.

During this time, Zhang Xiao has been working hard to become a real second-year student, not pursuing speed, but implementing the previous ideas and laying a good foundation.

This can be seen from the painstaking arrangement of the Daomen, only teaching the golden light spell and the talisman means that in the past two years, he has actually been working on the foundation, and it is impossible for the three-level jump of magic to have an unstable foundation.

Compared to last semester, Lockhart's classes suddenly became popular.

After jumping and jumping for two lessons, Zhang Xiao originally thought that he would change to something like A Chinese Ghost Story, but he didn't expect to jump directly to a dark creature common in the West such as a red hat.

The classes were very interesting, and Zhang Xiao herself had to admit that the quality of these lessons was indeed high.

And Lockhart himself changed his previous frivolity, became calm, and stopped even saying those disgusting sentences, which made the little witches who had been disappointed in him become obsessed with the handsome professor again.

Ron whispered to Zhang Xiao, and Hermione framed Lockhart's class with love.

Rather than that, the students paid more attention to Lockhart's public announcement that they would open another dueling club.

Is it a shame or a continued disgrace? The two factions quarreled so much that they waited until Tuesday afternoon.

The entire auditorium was once again bustling with people.

I don't know if it's 2 yang, I also have a fever, vomiting and diarrhea.
