v6 Chapter 159： Santa's Hometown

After Hermione finished reading the story, she closed the book and stretched.

William handed over his wolfberry thermos cup. After she took it, she moistened her throat.

Hermione put down the cup, put the book away, then turned to look at William, puzzled:

"I read the story of "The Snow Queen" when I was a child, but there are many differences from the current version."

"It's normal," William said softly: "It's easy for the story to change in the process of being circulated.

I asked about the twins.

They listened to Mrs. Weasley's story of the three brothers, which happened at midnight.

As for Dumbledore's "Tales of Bedouin the Poet", the time took place at dusk.

Also, there are many different versions of the story of the three brothers alone.

There is no difference, that is strange. "

Hermione thought thoughtfully, and then whispered, "But Lapland is so big, which village should we go to?"

William reached out and rubbed her head, smiled and said:

"If we're looking for reindeer, there's only one village in Lapland... that's our destination.

That place is famous, but you didn't remember it? "

Hermione looked at William in confusion, tilted her head to think for a moment, but still didn't remember.

But William didn't mean to say it, and he was still selling his **** horribly.

Hermione stared at his smug smile, rolled her eyes, and sat sideways, she suddenly leaned forward, her chest squeezing one of his arms.

William didn't pay much attention to it at first, only when Hermione was sitting in his arms, a little uncomfortable and wanted to change her posture.

Insert one sentence, it's really good, it's worth installing it, even Android and Apple phones support it!

But when her arms became more and more clearly felt, her uneasy uprightness... William began to feel hot all over.

Oh, the heater must be turned on too much!

Of course, there is also frictional heat.

Hermione was able to see it, she blocked William's outstretched claws as expected, then knelt on the carpet and ducked to the other side.

After climbing a few steps, she turned her head and smiled smugly:

"Let you not tell me the place!!"

William grabbed Hermione's fair ankle, and the girl screamed and wriggled on the blanket like a caterpillar.

But William just pulled her gently and dragged her back into his arms, not allowing her to move.

Hermione tilted her head back, resting her head on William's arm, winking like silk, looking up at this bad guy, and asked coquettishly:

"Where exactly is it, tell me quickly!"

William stretched out his hand, slipped it into her neckline, and held a smooth and plump ball before smiling contentedly:

"If you can beat me tonight, I'll tell you..."

He reached in with both hands, and Hermione breathed quickly, making a soft nasal sound.

It's snowing heavily,

The reindeer pulled the carriage and ran smoothly in the snow.

The creaking sound continued to sound.

I don't know if it was caused by the wheel pressing through the snow...or something else.

The carriage ran over, and there were only two lines of clear car prints on the ground.

……

……

Lapland,

It is an extremely vast area.

It is located in the north of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and also includes the area of ​​northwestern Russia near the Arctic Circle.

Three-quarters of it is in the Arctic Circle, with unique polar scenery and indigenous customs.

Due to its special geographical location, it is also one of the best places in the world to watch the aurora.

Of course, Lapland is most famous not only for the aurora, but also for Santa Claus.

The hometown of Santa Claus is located in the Santa Claus Village in Lapland, northern Finland.

This is also the beginning of the legend of Santa Claus.

In fact, about the hometown of Santa Claus, various countries have always debated.

Let's not talk about the five Nordic countries. It was really a fight for orthodoxy.

In addition, there are also a vote of countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada.

They all think that Santa Claus is from their own country.

It doesn't matter if it's not, anyway, let's talk about it first!

This is quite a bit like the battle in the hometown of celebrities in the previous life.

The hometown of Huangdi, the hometown of Lao Tzu... and even the hometown of Te Ximenqing, they are fighting for it!

However, the debate about Santa's hometown... is almost a conclusion.

Because it was just four months ago, on Christmas Eve in 1995.

United Nations Secretary-General Gary, wrote a letter to Santa Claus to send holiday greetings.

And this letter was sent to Santa Claus Village in Lapland.

This is the official stamp of the United Nations, which officially recognizes: Finland is the hometown of Santa Claus.

Why do you say almost?

Because in response to this official "immoral" behavior, this year's 40th World Santa Claus Congress launched a vote.

The hometown of Santa Claus voted for is Greenland.

The reason why Greenland was elected is also very simple:

The organizer of the conference has always been Denmark, and the chairman of the conference is also... a Dane.

Then you must choose your own country.

Of course, in order to maintain his orthodox status, the Finnish Santa Claus refused to participate in this kind of convention.

They claim that the other party is a copycat old man!

Regardless of the argument, it is undeniable that:

In Lapland, if you are looking for reindeer and clues to the Snow Queen's Palace, you must come to Santa Claus Village.

And the location of Grindelwald is in the Palace of the Snow Queen... that is, north of the North Sea!

……

……

in the morning,

The black carriage, which had been crunching all night, finally stopped and stopped in mid-air.

The carriage has already cast the Illusory Body Charm, so don't worry about being seen by Muggles.

Like a hollowed-out William, he opened the window, supported his old waist, and stood on the carriage to watch, looking for traces of the wizard.

Of course he lost last night, so he had to tell Hermione the address honestly.

And they're on the outskirts of Santa Claus Village now.

Wizards generally like to live with Muggles, and pure wizarding villages like Hogsmeade are rare.

So, there must be wizards or... magical creatures in this village.

For example, the snowman and Snow Treasure in the story of the Snow Queen.

Maybe, I can find Grindelwald here.

However, it was already daytime, but the sky was still very dark, and the visibility was not high.

the reason is simple:

Lapland is located in the Arctic Circle, and it is still in the polar night months. From the end of March to the beginning of April, it will return to the polar day again.

The Easter holiday coincides with this alternate node, so the polar night does not last for a few days, and you can enjoy the polar day.

Just as William was searching, he suddenly heard singing coming from the village.

The voice was ethereal and beautiful, as if revealing magic, attracting others.

William was stunned for a few seconds. He suddenly remembered something, and took out a cyan conch from the safety watch.

He put the conch in his ear, and a magical song rang out.

This conch is a Christmas present from Fleur, and it has Veela singing in it... It helps sleep.

Although the singing in the village is not the same as the melody in the conch shell, that kind of magic... feels like it has the same origin.

Hermione stuck her head out of the carriage. She hadn't recovered from exhaustion. She wanted to take a nap excitedly said:

"William, this wand is heating up, there are veelas in the village!"

William turned his head to look at Hermione and saw that she was holding a wand.

This wand was a Christmas present that Fleur had given William earlier.

The core of the wand is Fleur's hair... As a mixed-race Veela, her hair also has magic power, and she can make a magic wand.

But it's too sensitive for William to use.

Hermione was a perfect fit unexpectedly, she kept holding it and used it as a second wand.

Apparently, the wand also felt the magic in the Veela's song.

It's entirely possible.

In Ollivander's words:

"Wands choose wizards, and they learn from wizards."

Gregorovich also believes:

"Wands are almost sentient. Although they can't think or communicate like humans, they can still show certain behaviors according to their own wishes."

At this moment, this Veela core wand is autonomously sensing Veela.

"Come on, let's go to the village to see."

William waved the reins and let the reindeer fall to the ground.

He suddenly thought of Professor Babu Ling... This mixed-race Veela is from Northern Europe.
