Chapter 32: Christmas is coming

Tumbledown Alley, Borgin Bock Store, Back House.

Bogin's curse has long since penetrated deep into the soul like a maggot on the tarsal bones. It's like thousands of fishing lines, mixed with a few transparent and difficult to see strands of hair.

And they're all in a mess.

The difficulty of cleaning up can be imagined.

Of course, this difficulty is actually from Bogin's point of view.

For Muen... What he has is time anyway.

He also didn't bother to trace the source of the curse and clear it from the curse operation logic.

He didn't have anything to do anyway, so he came to Bojin every once in a while to do "manual work" and get some eye-catching dark magic items.

Life can be described as flavorful.

As the last trace of the curse node in Bogin's soul was extracted by Mu En, the curse that had been attached to him for decades was finally unable to continue and began to collapse.

"Alright." Mu En shook his hand, and the dark blue silk threads hooked by his fingertips floated in the air.

Bo Jin propped himself up, his old cloudy eyes were full of brilliance, and his voice trembled: "Captain, is this the end?!" ”

Mu En put on his hat: "It's over, the running chain of the curse has been broken by me." Remember, from this day forward, you are no longer a living dead who is not afraid of pain and injury. ”

Bo Jin stood up and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you." ”

Mu En nodded, put on a woolen coat, and walked straight towards the store lobby.

"That's right!" Bo Jin suddenly called out to Muen.

When he turned around, he saw two packages wrapped in confetti ribbons appear in Bogin's hands.

"Captain, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance." "I was going to bless it on Christmas Day, but when I think about it, I might not be able to bother," Bokin said. ”

Mu En was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the snowflakes outside the window, and couldn't help laughing: "I always feel that I have become dull to time." ”

As he spoke, he took the two packages.

"The small one is for your Christmas present, and the big box is for your child." Bo Jin said intimately.

Muen didn't expect him to be so thoughtful, even though Borgin had only seen Harry once in the explosion a few months ago.

"I will convey your blessing to him." Mu En nodded and smiled, "Merry Christmas." ”

With that, he walked out the door.

Suddenly, a cold air rushed to the face, and the sky was filled with snowflakes, and the stars of the summer night could no longer be seen.

"I didn't expect it to be almost Christmas." Mu En sighed a little, and then the phantom shifted away.

Moonlight Castle, the second floor study.

Compared to a few months ago, this place has obviously changed its appearance, a desk, a medicine table. There's also a bookshelf, a coat rack, and a small potions shelf.

At his desk, Harry slowly took off his glasses and wiped his face.

Call...

After a long sigh of relief, he stood up again and went to the alchemy table to check the potion brewing.

After a full fall semester, he is now much taller and looks much stronger.

Now he and the Dursleys have also formed a delicate balance. Especially after he was asked to run to school every morning, he and the Dursleys were even less involved in their lives.

Merely...

When he thinks about Christmas the day after tomorrow, he has a big head.

Aunt Maggie will be a guest at the Dursleys.

Aunt Maggie is a sister to Uncle Vernon, and although Harry and Maggie are not related at all, people have been pressuring Harry to call her Aunt.

Harry was a little irritated at the thought of this man. If it was him, maybe he would still be panicking.

Just because of this person, it was really Harry's nightmare.

At Dudley's fifth birthday party, Aunt Maggie used to punch Harry in the shin with her cane, just because she didn't want Harry to beat Dudley in a musical game.

Two years ago, at Christmas, she was also here. The gift to Dudley was a robot with a computer, and then gave Harry his first Christmas present -

A box of dog biscuits.

After checking that the potions were made correctly, Harry went to his desk and picked up a citrine pendant.

He calmed the distractions in his mind and lifted the pendant.

"Aunt Maggie's arrival is good news."

After meditating seven times in succession, it was not known if Harry's hands were shaking, or if it was windy or something else.

The pendant swayed.

Harry looked closely, and saw that the pendant was gradually moving in a clockwise direction from a simple side-to-side bobbing.

Both for "correct".

He put down the crystal pendant, a little helpless: "I really don't have a talent for divination." ”

Walking downstairs, he was the first to say hello to Mr. Lucifer.

Meteor jumped over and leaned in, his broomstick head rubbing against Harry.

Lucifer didn't know what he was thinking, and instead of sleeping, he was stunned by the pestle in the fireplace.

"Meteor, it's been too cold lately, let's wait for it to get warmer before we go out." Harry reassured.

"Harry." Lucifer said suddenly.

"Mr. Lucifer, I'm here." Harry looked back.

"Are you coming for Christmas?" Lucifer asked suddenly.

"Really?" Harry couldn't believe his ears. Well, he must admit that he had this idea, but ... This kind of thing should not be said by him.

He knows what is important.

Lucifer nodded: "Of course it's true, in fact, most of the time, there are only two people in the castle, me and Muen, and it would be good to have one more person to be lively."

It's a holiday, you have to have a holiday, right? ”

Harry nodded, with an irrepressible smile on his face, and said goodbye to Lucifer and returned to Number Four Privet Road.

Harry felt the need to break the good news to the Dursleys.

They should be happy too...

Not long after Harry left, Muen appeared in Moonlight Castle.

After patting the snowflakes off his shoulders, he took off his coat and hat, and lay down on the sofa, breathing a sigh of relief.

"It's snowing outside," said Muen, "I've always felt that the layout of our house is best for winter.

Outside there were splashes of snowflakes, and inside the house, there was only a warm fireplace, and a..."

"And a lazy dog who spends all day on the couch, no, fat cat!" Lucifer answered immediately.

"What words!" Mu En propped himself up and pinched his hand on his stomach: "Look, my stomach has recovered a lot, okay!" ”

Lucifer saw that it was true that the fat that appeared some time ago had disappeared a lot.

"Then it seems that I am right." Lucifer was triumphant.

Muen waved his hand, noncommittal to Lucifer's words.

"I invited Harry over for Christmas." Lucifer said suddenly.

Mu En was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "But we're just Christmas." Celebrating the holidays or something... For me, it's about eating, drinking, and then taking a vacation.

But I have a holiday every day, and I can eat whatever I want every day. ”

"I don't care, anyway, the festival has to be like a holiday. You will always be pure-hearted and deserve to be cursed. Lucifer pointed at Muen and said angrily

Mu En plucked out his ears, very helpless: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." ”
