Chapter 19： Christmas gifts

In the prefect lounge of Slytherin College.

In a very classical looking tall armchair carved with two giant snakes entwined with each other, sits a tall female prefect with light brown straight hair.

Her face was as delicate as a sculpture, but she was so cold that the air in the secret room seemed to be covered with frost. If Daphne was sitting here, she would recognize the female student—the new prefect of the fifth grade, the eldest daughter of the Selwyn family, Irina Selwyn.

There are also two boys in the secret room, facing Irina's sea-like aura and overwhelming pressure, their faces are very ugly. One of these two boys is Gallup Lestrange, who was defeated by Schelling, and the other is goalkeeper Miles Black of the Quidditch team. Both are students in the 5th grade. .

Irina said, "That guy from the Malfoy family, his prestige seems to be getting higher and higher-you have seen his performance on the court today. It is no longer only Slytherin that supports him, Lian He Chipach and Ravenclaw also have a lot of them. What do you think about this?"

Gallup said with difficulty: "Although the Malfoy family has declined in recent years, it is still one of the most powerful families. The strength of the little Malfoy is even more unpredictable. The last time we launched a duel, we tried to suppress The arrogance of the Malfoy family turned out to be the opposite. Instead, it allowed him to take the opportunity to consolidate his prestige in Slytherin. He couldn't beat it, and it wouldn't work to suppress others with power. If you use excessive means, Snape and Old Malfoy’s friendship, he definitely wouldn’t just sit idly by. I really can’t think of any way..."

Miles Blake nodded in agreement, "I have to say that that kid is not easy, a series of close planning has made his reputation grow faster than the fire dragon-look at what he has done in the past three semesters. , Defeated giant monsters, killed basilisks, and Merlin contended for hegemony, but the savior also sent him to the door to give him two cheeks and powers. Recently, he held a spell exchange meeting, and he wrote books and sold big sales in Quebec. The eyes of the Wonders of the Earth are in full view against more than a hundred dementors—"

At this point, he sighed, "This kid has gained momentum, and now he is in full swing. I suggest that we avoid him for the time being and wait for a better time."

Irina flashed an imperceptible ridicule, "Is the ambition and conviction of the two of you only this level? I have to wonder if the family chose to accept you as vassals in the first place..."

Gallup raised his eyebrows. "Irina, what do you mean by this?" Although the current situation of the Lestrange family is not good, they have not fallen to the point of being bullied. This uncle is not dead yet, who knows if he will be able to leave Azkaban as successfully as Blake one day.

Irina said unhurriedly: "There is nothing else, but I think you have lost the courage to face Malfoy. And your intelligence seems to be behind, you may not know yet-the Higgs family has passed Terrence Higgs has made a good relationship with the Malfoy family, and together with his close friend, Drian Puse (the chaser of the Slytherin Quidditch team), these two people are in Slater Lin's fourth-grade students have a lot of prestige."

(Note: In the original book, Terence and Drian are the only two players on the Quidditch team who never foul. The author thinks it is reasonable for them to have a good relationship, and set them as friends in this book. )

She paused, gave the two people some time to digest the information, and then said: "Even in our fifth grade, Cassius Wallington and Graham Montage also faintly revealed that they wanted to cooperate with each other. The intention of the Malfoy family was good. Cassius, a mixed race with no background, was first selected to participate in Merlin’s test, and then took away the presidency of you, Gallup. This speaks for itself. many questions…"

"If you add the guy from the Quidditch Captain Marcus Flint, who has taken the flying broomstick from the Malfoy family, at least his position will not be biased towards us; in this way, there are seven people in the entire Quidditch team. At least five of them are biased towards Malfoy, and we are only left with Miles’ weaker one..."

"If we choose to bury our heads in the sand and do nothing, as you suggested, soon, I dare say that not only Quidditch, but also the presidency and other resources will slowly Cannibalized by them, then everything will be too late!"

(Note: The position of prefect is not just a medal or a fictitious name—it has a dedicated rest room, a dedicated carriage, and a dedicated bathroom; it has the power to deduct points and impose confinement for ordinary students; most importantly, they can enter the library freely Forbidden book area, Hermione, who became the prefect in the original book, can freely search for information about Horcruxes in the forbidden book area as if no one else.

Miles frowned, "Even if what you said is reasonable, what should we do specifically? Now in terms of momentum, strength, and background, the other party is hidden above me..."

Irina’s red lips, which are as beautiful as a red rose, curled up slightly, "Take advantage of the fact that 4 of the 6 prefects are on our side, we still have a lot of opportunities, not to mention, I think... it’s time. Drag the ghost society into this muddy water..."

The secret talker Schelling in the prefect’s lounge did not know, he only knew that there were only two weeks left before the end of the first half of the semester.

The atmosphere of Christmas has been filled in the castle in advance. Almost all the students are happily discussing their respective vacation plans. Because of Sirius Black, most of the students are going home for Christmas.

Draco, Daphne, Astoria, and Meredith all decided to go home for vacation, but Schelling decided to stay at school. Originally, Narcissa was a little dissatisfied, but Xie Lin used the professors to try to open a small stove privately for him, so she comforted her mother. There was no way, that's how she was too good.

He has contacted Nicholas and successfully exchanged three bottles of eight-eyed spider venom for a piece of Sniffing Grass. He also asked Dobby to help him take the beating toadstool to the black market and get rid of it, in exchange for 60 Jin Jialong.

With the basilisk venom, the phantom sniffing grass, and the rest of the materials that Dobby has collected from major drugstores, the materials for refining the magic potion are complete. Schelling intends to use the two-week vacation to make the magic potion at school. come out.

Both Ron and Hermione decided to stay at Hogwarts this year. Ron said he couldn't bear to be with Percy for two weeks, while Hermione insisted that she was going to the library. But Harry knew in his heart that they did it to accompany him, for which he was very grateful.

In the last week of the semester, everyone can go to Hogsmeade again. Everyone except Harry was very happy.

On the morning when everyone went to Hogsmeade, Fred and George gave Harry a Christmas present in advance-a live map. This was Harry's happiest day since the Quidditch game. Harry successfully sneaked to Hogsmeade Village using the live map, found Ron and Hermione, and overheard Black's betrayal of his parents in the Three Broomsticks bar.

That night, Harry slept very badly. The thoughts of revenge against Blake were in his mind. This made Ron and Hermione very worried about him. Harry was born to die, as a good friend who knew him. , Ron and Hermione knew very well that Harry would definitely do the foolish thing to find Blake's revenge as long as he had the opportunity.

Schelling heard inadvertently that Hagrid was also not doing well there. He received a letter from the school board about the incident of Buckbeak attacking Blaise.

Although he will not be punished for this matter, Hagrid and Buckbeak must attend a hearing of the Dangerous Animals Committee. According to Hagrid's understanding, Barkerbeak was very ill-advised in this trial, and it was difficult to escape death. After all, apart from Hagrid, no one cared about the life or death of a falcon.

Hagrid is getting depressed because of this incident, and occasionally uses alcohol to soothe his sorrows, so that people can see him drunk.

On Christmas morning, Schelling found that he was more popular than last year—he received nearly 100 gifts, more than half of which were given by girls who didn’t know him. Girls from grade 1 to grade 7 are all over Slater. The three colleges of Lin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw are mostly snacks and chocolates.

Dobby sent a pair of socks again, Kreacher sent a wooden carving, Draco sent a toy from the Joko shop, and Narcissa sent a pair of very practical duel gloves.

The glove is engraved with anti-disarming spell magic. When the gloved hand holds the wand, there will be an invisible and close magical connection between the wand and the glove. Unless the owner loses consciousness or dies, the wand will never leave the glove. . Perhaps the disarming spell cast by the great magister of Dumbledore's level can break the function of the glove, but how many great magisters can there be in this world?

Duel gloves obtained!

Daphne and Meredith, as in previous years, gave away a precious collection of books from their own family. Astoria imitated her sister and chose to send books, Xie Linzhen stored them in her portable library in a precious place. There are already more than 400 books in his collection (he asked the house elves to copy all the books of the Malfoy family to him).

Murray gave a scarf that he woven by himself. Although the style and craftsmanship are very ordinary, Schelling can feel the full of heart on the scarf and cherish it very much. Even Luna gave herself a very strange style of glasses. It is said that after wearing them, you can see the harassing horsefly and the horsefly hook.

What surprised Schelling even more was the Christmas gift she received from Hermione. In addition to thanking her for the instructions at the Patronus Mantra exchange meeting, Hermione thoughtfully attached her own key notes for the exam, which would allow Schelling Exam preparation this year is a lot easier.

It is worth mentioning that Elreby and Badmore Broomsticks in Germany have not forgotten to send Schelling, a major shareholder, a firebolt.

Although the Firebolt is very valuable, Schelling has neither time nor interest in participating in Quidditch, so he transferred the Firebolt as a Christmas gift to Draco, and asked Draco to keep it secret. Appeared as a secret weapon to defeat Gryffindor.

Draco loved this flying broom so much, he promised that Schelling would do his best to achieve glory for Slytherin and the Malfoy family in the next Quidditch competition.

At the same time, a lot of things happened on Harry's trio.

Harry received a firebolt from an anonymous person as a Christmas gift. Harry and Ron were very excited about it, but Hermione thought it should be checked by the professors. While Hermione and Harry were in a quarrel, Hermione's cat Crookshanks attacked Ron, which, to be precise, attacked the Scabbers in Ron's pocket. As a result, Hermione and Ron had an unhappy relationship.

That night, Hermione brought in Professor McGonagall, and temporarily confiscated Harry's Firebolt on the grounds that he needed to be inspected, which plunged Hermione into a cold war with Harry and Ron.

Hermione never returned to the Gryffindor lounge, hiding in the library all day. UU reading www. When uukanshu.com Schelling occasionally went to the library to search for materials for refining magic enhancement potions, she would see Hermione sitting in a corner with disheveled hair and rummaging, rummaging through books in annoyance.

The day before school started, in the laboratory in the suitcase space, Schelling held a bottle of light green potion in his hand and smiled with satisfaction. Thanks to Xie Lin's unremitting efforts, a bottle of magic potion was successfully released!

Schelling opened the sealing wax directly and poured the magic potion into his mouth. It didn't feel much at first, but after the potion entered his throat, it was as if some terrible poison had been drunk, and there seemed to be a group of flames burning in his throat. Schelling grabbed his neck with his hands and coughed violently.

Soon, Schelling's body temperature began to rise. He grabbed a pre-prepared bag of ice and placed it on his forehead to cool his head. Immediately afterwards, the heartbeat speeded up significantly, blood was rushing in the veins, and the whole person seemed to be in a burning flame. There was an illusion that he was going to go directly to heaven. So Schelling couldn’t help but send out a beast like a wild beast. The general roar.

This terrible feeling lasted for about ten minutes before it gradually weakened and finally returned to normal. However, Schelling's body and clothes were completely wet with sweat.

Xie Lin took a good night's sleep until he woke up vigorously the next day. The first thing was to carefully observe himself with magic eyes.

He found that his magic power had indeed improved significantly, and he had caught up with the level of senior students, and was similar to the elite students Percy and Penello in the seventh grade. Schelling is very satisfied with the effect of the potion. Now that his biggest problem is solved, he can start to practice higher spells.

He has already planned a series of spells for himself to learn, and even the theory is already proficient, so he only needs practical practice.
