v2 Chapter 101： Halloween (National Day special for the Six K University)

[Anniversary Celebration (Act 2): Accumulated sign-in and bonus benefits completed

Reward: Entanglement Edge × 1

Additional Reward: Entanglement Edge × 10]

Standing on the observatory of the Astronomy Tower, Tom completed his last check-in.

September and October passed in a blink of an eye, and the second act of the system's fifth anniversary celebration has come to an end. The second act of the anniversary is not unique, just simple and unpretentious. When it was opened, Tom was given a monthly card. Go to a specific location every day to check in to get some magic stones and entanglement as rewards.

Specifically, from Monday to Saturday, you can sign in to get 210 magic stones in total. On Sunday, you will give a entanglement and an extra reward. The extra reward in the fourth week is ten consecutive draws, and the remaining three weeks are some knowledge. and spells and the like.

For example, the anti-theft spell was given in the first week, a few tips for alchemy in the second week, and the potion formula and production points of the vitality tonic in the third week, all of which are good gadgets.

The Anti-Theft Charm is a very useful little spell. Just by casting a spell on a room and the same item, you can make the room trigger an alarm when someone steps in - the item will instantly make a loud noise and then explode. Vitality Tonic is a potion that energizes the user—that is, a genuine energy potion.

After four weeks of sign-in, Tom won a total of 840 Magic Stones and 14 Entangling Edges. At the same time, the monthly card is 90 magic stones and the daily task is 40 magic stones. By the end of October, Tom has harvested a total of 5860 magic stones and 14 entangled fates. The number of magic stones on the book has recovered to 5970, and there are 22 entangled fates.

If all are converted into magic stones, Tom's magic stone reserves are approaching five figures.

After the second act of the anniversary celebration ended, the third and fourth acts also began.

Quest Reward: Professor Flitwick's Notes]

A gust of cold wind blew, and Tom shuddered.

The weather at Hogwarts in October was generally wet and cold, and the air here seemed to have magic attached, directly penetrating the robe and underwear, and a gust of wind blowing through can make people doubt life.

This kind of ghost weather reached its peak at the end of October - it will snow directly after that, but it was much better at that time. First, because of the well-known "snow is not cold, snow is cold", water turns into ice and will release It's hot, so when it snows, it's not the coldest time. Second, because the water vapor in the air that can cause "magic damage" has all turned into snowflakes and fell. Without the magic damage, the little wizards can still resist physical damage. .

But Tom thought: What a shame! Muggles are only blown away by "magic damage", we are wizards, shouldn't wizards have magic resistance and magic defense? How can I be as afraid of cold as Muggles? It's so shameful!

So Tom decided to solve this little problem and let himself not be cold in late October.

There are three paths in front of him now: the first path, changing the climate of the Scottish Highlands, making it as spring-like as in southern France, but unfortunately encountering a little technical problem, Tom could not achieve it. The second way is to prepare a potion to keep the body warm at all times. This is not difficult. It is estimated that Professor Snape has a formula, but it needs to be taken every day, which is a consumable and not practical. There is only one last way: to transform the wizard's robe to make the robe more resistant to cold.

Then it's very simple, just solidify a "thermostatic spell" on the wizard's robe. Since there is such a simple and clear method, but a large number of little wizards are still shivering with cold, it can only mean one thing: this method has not been popularized.

The reason is also very simple: expensive.

If an ordinary wizard's robe costs one galleon, the wizard's robe solidified with the constant temperature spell needs at least ten gallons, and the spell solidified on it is easy to fail.

Tom quickened his pace and returned to the office, which was burning with a roaring fire and warm as spring, and let out a sigh of relief. He pulled a bottle of butterbeer and a Russian sausage from his desk drawer. Just as Tom was cutting the sausage into thin slices with a cutting spell, there was a knock on his office door.

As soon as the door was opened, a dank cold air rolled in, and with the cold air came Hermione, whose nose was red from the cold. After entering the office, she quickly closed the door and stood by the fireplace for a while before she recovered.

"It's not snowing, but it's still so cold!" Hermione took off her wool gloves and Ravenclaw scarf, took off her wizard robe, and put it on the back of the chair, revealing the gray inside. sweater.

"If you wear a sweater, you won't be able to stop the air-conditioning," Tom took out a small glass and poured a bottle of butterbeer bought from three brooms into it.

"Fire protection!" A small circle of blue flames immediately rose from the outside of the cup, heating the wine in the cup. Tom repeated his old trick, using the flame shield to fry the sliced ​​sausages on a small plate. The sausage was fried sizzling, a layer of oil appeared on the surface, and there was a strong aroma of bacon.

The power of Tom's [Flame Shield] is a little worse than what Grindelwald displayed. He couldn't swallow a dozen Aurors at once, and almost burned half of Paris by the way - as for why half of Paris , Of course, it's not that the French have a "powerful" firefighting team, but because Paris is divided into two parts by the Seine River, the flames of Grindelwald can only selectively burn one side.

Although the power is not enough, there is still some control. For example, it can be used as a temporary gas stove to grill a sausage, and there is no problem with warming a glass of wine.

Tom handed Hermione the roasted sausage and warm butterbeer. But before handing out the Butterbeer, Tom took out a small bottle and put a drop of Energizing Tonic in it.

"Hey! Are you drugging in front of me?" Hermione patted the table, "Mr. Yordle, you've failed your studies! You started drugging underage witches within two months of school!"

Although the words were amazing, Hermione always had a smile in the corner of her eyes when she spoke.

"It's a tonic for vitality, it can help you relieve fatigue." Tom was also convinced, and he was really kind as a donkey's liver and lungs. He saw the thick dark circles on Hermione's face, and it seemed that she had been overworked recently, so he decided to give her some tonic to replenish her vitality.

The energy potion in the magic world is a good thing. It is more refreshing than coffee. Some of them are similar to sports drinks, which can effectively relieve fatigue. Energy, nutrition, it can be said to be a super drink, and more importantly, there is no addiction and effect attenuation.

Coffee, a refreshing drink used by Muggles, is actually slightly addictive, but it is ignored because the symptoms are not strong and the side effects are small. Symptoms of coffee addiction are headaches and upsets if you don't drink coffee for more than 24 hours. But don't worry, it's very easy to quit coffee, reduce the amount of coffee you drink every day, and stop taking it after a week or two without headaches.

The stronger the coffee, the stronger the addiction, and the more severe the reaction after stopping taking it. There is an Arabian black coffee that is the strongest coffee I have ever had. Generally speaking, after instant coffee is brewed, all the powder will be dissolved in hot water, but the Arabica coffee has residual coffee grounds after brewing, and these residues can even be brewed for the second and third rounds. After getting used to that coffee, other coffees have no bitterness at all for me - of course, some are simply unpleasant, such as a certain Nestol.

Once you get used to drinking coffee, their refreshing effect is about zero, and some are even suitable for bedtime drinks.

"Energetic tonic?" Hermione's eyes became sharp: so you are serious?

"It's not Dumbledore's kind of tonic!" Hermione blinked, and Tom knew what the **** was going on in her stomach. He felt that he was going to be gone forever on the road of being murdered, so he resolutely decided to Lift Dumbledore out.

Tom seriously explained to Hermione what a vitality tonic is and how it works. Hermione was a little surprised: "This is a potion that only fifth-year students can make? Can you actually make it now?"

"It's not difficult," Tom took out his notebook, "here is its configuration process and key points, you will also configure it after reading it."

Hermione looked at Tom's notes as she sipped her butterbeer. Butterbeer was the best tasting drink she'd ever had, and it warmed her up from the inside out. She had just finished her herbal medicine class with her Ravenclaw classmates, and was choked by the bad weather outside, and the cold seemed to invade her internal organs. Being able to drink a warm cup of butterbeer around the fire under these circumstances is a real treat.

Hermione could also feel that in addition to the warmth, the tiredness that had accumulated in her body these days was also being removed little by little, and the vitality tonic in the butterbeer was gradually taking effect.

Hermione couldn't help but sighed softly.

"Have you been tired lately?" Tom asked, and Hermione looked up at him resentfully. "If you didn't assign so much homework, I might be able to relax a little bit."

Tom was a little embarrassed and complained to himself: "I have less homework than Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape!"

"But there are group projects," Hermione counted with her fingers. "I've read three books this week. Counting the previous weeks, I still have six references to read..."

Tom:  …

You are so serious, it will put a lot of pressure on teachers who want to fish!

"It's just a simple investigative report..." Tom wanted Hermione to lower his demands on him a little. Don't think about it, Hermione refused him righteously - learning was for myself, not to get high grades, so on and so forth.

But Tom was sure that Hermione said so, and if she really gave her a low score, she would not want to have a clean day in the next five years at Hogwarts.

"Then let me see which books you use as sources." Tom gave up trying to persuade her, and asked Hermione for her book list: seventeen books in total! The number of these books is almost equal to the sum of the papers and reference books of the rest of the class.

Tom's eyes darkened: he felt that the submission date of the thesis could be postponed a little - the professor who approved the thesis also needs time to read the reference materials!

Now he is very fortunate that his English proficiency is equivalent to that of a native speaker, and he does not have to open Google Translate while crunching papers. As for books written in Latin or even runes, of course the Hogwarts library has them, but the little wizards don't bother to use them as reference materials.

"By the way," Tom suddenly remembered something when he looked at Hermione's rosy face again, "I can try to remodel your robe so that it can keep out the cold."

He picked up the robe that Hermione had draped over the back of the chair.

The robe is a common plain-faced wizard robe that is standard for Hogwarts students.

"Clean it up!" Hermione took out her wand, pointed at the robe, and wiped all the damp moisture off its surface. Tom took out his wand and carved runes out of thin air.

This is the little trick he learned: the magic power is drawn on the carrier in the form of lines, so as to construct the rune group. The advantage of this is that you don't need to find metal or wood, and you don't need a small carving knife. You can just use a magic wand. The disadvantage is that the engraved rune group is not stable enough.

Since the wizard's robe is obviously not a medium for storing magic power, this time Tom also inlaid a magic silver on the robe as a power supply center. He turned the magic silver into a Ravenclaw badge and pinned it on the chest of Hermione's robe.

"Input, output, invocation, heating..." The tip of Tom's wand trembled slightly, and in less than half an hour, under Hermione's watch, he carved four sets of runes: one for invoking magic, the second for heat, The third set is to transfer heat to all corners of the robe, and the last is the charging rune.

[Winter Wizard Robes (Two Stars): Heart-warming wizard robes, with a one-month shelf life, lifetime maintenance, and free maintenance. In summer, one star is rated at the bottom of the box, and in winter, five stars are praised, and the star rating rises with the drop in temperature. 】

"Try it!" Tom handed the remodeled robe to Hermione. Hermione put it on and went out for a walk. After returning, she told him excitedly: I can't feel the cold outside at all!

Obviously, Tom's alchemy creation was a big success this time around.

Hermione and Tom chatted a few more words, then got dressed and left the office.

Although Tom made the cold no longer a problem by modifying the wizard's robe, this kind of personal modification is obviously "little benefit", and other little wizards can't get this kind of benefit. So when the cold wave was at its peak, there was an outbreak of influenza among Hogwarts staff and students, leaving Head Nurse Madam Pomfrey scrambling.

In her busy schedule, she also gave Dumbledore a decoction to prevent colds, and she was willing to leave after watching him drink it in one breath. Dumbledore's inexplicable cold had really frightened her: because she couldn't find the cause. No matter how powerful Dumbledore is, he is still a hundred years old. Time is not forgiving. A cold can do things that neither Grindelwald nor Voldemort can achieve.

Madam Pomfrey's potion had immediate effects. Basically, students who go to her place can be cured with just one dose of medicine. For patients, Madam Pomfrey also specially prepared some refreshing potions. People who drink this potion will have steam in their ears for several hours, as if they have drained the water from their brains.

After the steam is out, the whole person will be refreshed. Victoria Brown has been sluggish lately, with hair loss, memory loss, lack of energy, and falling asleep several times in class, for which she was sentenced to confinement. She was forced to drink some refresher by her roommate, which cheered her up a little.

In late October, in addition to the wet and cold wind, the whole area of ​​Scotland was cloudy and rainy. The bullet-sized raindrops slapped against the castle windows, and it continued to fall without stopping for several days.

Tom is glad that he doesn't have to go to Quidditch training now, because the autumn rain and time have washed away the haze brought by the attack in the secret room, but it can't take away the enthusiasm of the captains of the four major college Quidditch teams - in fact, for them As long as the rebels don't hit Hogwarts Castle, nothing can stop the Quidditch League from going on.

In fact, if you just observe the enthusiasm of the captains, you may come to the conclusion that it is not rain, but oil. You can often see Quidditch teammates returning to the castle soaked in mud and covered in mud on a certain night.

But what does this have to do with professors and ordinary students?

Everyone's attention has been attracted by the upcoming Halloween. According to the established customs, Halloween is a holiday, but this year there was a little accident...

October 30, 1992 is Friday, Saturday is Halloween, Sunday is Halloween - see what's wrong? Halloween and Sunday are heavy!

This is simply bad news, a huge loss!

Like most of the UK, there is no Halloween holiday at Hogwarts. For this New Year's festival, which originated from the ancient Celtic nation and is closely related to wizards, Hogwarts is just a party.

But in fact, there are still many European countries that have Halloween holidays. For example, France will have a holiday on the last Monday of October and will continue until November 1st. The French call this holiday "Vacances de Toussaint", the longest holiday before Christmas in the second half of the school year. During this holiday Afterwards, a mid-term exam will be arranged.

In French, the word "Toussaint" for All Saints' Feast (Halloween) is quite interesting. "Tous" means "all", "Saint" means "holy", and it really means literally: Halloween.

However, Hogwarts is not a school like Beauxbatons. Hogwarts does not have holidays, or Hogwarts adheres to the style of most British schools and has fewer holidays. So if one day you get offers from Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, and you happen to speak French, it's better to apply to Beauxbatons - they have more holidays and more girls.

How many school holidays are there in France? I feel like there is a vacation from time to time... There is a week of All Saints' Feast and a two-week Christmas. Of course, there is no need to say much about the winter and summer vacations. Every year, there is a week-long winter vacation at the beginning of March, and then there is a spring vacation at the end of April. It's also a week, and it can be linked to Labor Day on May 1st.

On top of that are Ascension, Easter, Pentecost, and the 1945 Victory Day (?) - which the French chose outrageously for May 8, not to mention whether France is eligible to celebrate The victory of World War II, the correct end time of World War II is September 2, 1945.

However, the French played a word game very thiefly. He didn't say that this was the Victory Day of World War II. He called it "Victoire 1945". We were celebrating the victory in 1945 - selected in Germany The day of surrender was just a coincidence.

French festivals are 11 days a year, and the government law stipulates that paid holidays are 5 weeks. In addition to weekends, the French have about 150 days off throughout the year, and students have more days off - of course, usually It can also tire you out in class.

The only holiday the French have shorter than anywhere else is Easter, and they only have one day.

What's even more outrageous is that the French also have something called "bridging". That is, if there is a day off on Tuesday in a certain week, the French will easily take Monday as a holiday - there is no reassignment It is very simple to take Monday as a holiday and let it go.

So Beauxbatons has a lot more vacations than Hogwarts.

On Friday, Tom gave the students their last lesson before Halloween.

"Okay, classmates, that's it for today's class. I wish everyone a happy Halloween in advance. I need to remind everyone that after Halloween comes back, I will bring you a new class quiz—"

At this time, the classroom was shrouded in the whining of the little wizards, but Tom's heart was like a stone: he had to take a few classroom quizzes to check everyone's learning status, and by the way, he used these data as his usual grades, and he took care of himself. Zi said: "And I would like to remind everyone that you should start preparing the first draft of your group paper - without the first draft at least you have to make an outline, have a mid-term exam before Christmas, and turn in yourselves after the holiday. thesis."

"Class!" Tom left the classroom, leaving the students sighing in the classroom. Tom went to Professor McGonagall to set up the school auditorium with her. The third act of his anniversary had to be opened through her.

In fact, Tom is more inclined to go to Professor Flitwick to play his "Total War - The Witcher" first, but it is obvious that Professor McGonagall's mission is a limited time mission - if you miss Halloween, it will be over, but Flitwick Depending on the professor, you can wait.

Prioritize things, and naturally prioritize the most urgent tasks. Tom met Professor McGonagall in the auditorium, and coincidentally, Professor Flitwick was also nearby.
