Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Contract, this is an extremely important existence in the magic world.

Modern and modern wizards generally believe that the discovery and improvement of the "contract" marks that magic has started to form a complete and controllable ability from disordered instincts. Since then, magic has entered a long period of rapid development. .

"The wizards used curses, essays, and gestures supplemented by the magic medium, which is now the magic wand, to sign a contract with nature, so that their magic can cause more magnificent phenomena, can summon floods, and can burn the wilderness. "

In the Gryffindor common room, Percy Weasley sat on a small round stool, holding a book and slowly reading it.

And beside him, a group of children who are listening to the story sat on the carpet obediently, eating snacks, and listening to the science of the elders ’science about the origin of ceremonies and festivals in the magic world-this is more interesting than Professor Binbin ’s history of magic Too.

With the contributions to the "New Singing Contrast" these days, the relationship between the Weasley twins and their old-fashioned third brother is obviously much closer, and Percy no longer fully believes that these two brothers will only Trick or treat, and George and Fred are also helping Percy to revise their manuscripts over and over again, realizing Percy's seriousness and responsibility.

Therefore, George and Fred, like Harry and Ron, listened carefully to Percy telling stories.

"Besides this, there are many kinds of contracts in a narrow sense."

Percy Weasley's fingers moved across the pages of the book, reading the text softly and slowly.

"We witches sign contracts with other magical creatures in order to jointly resist the sinister environment and enemies; we witches sign contracts with each other to exchange knowledge and build trust and keep secrets; of course, witches will also sign contracts with Muggles, we Use magic to help them, and they provide wizards with daily supplies. "

"The contract has a very special meaning for the wizard, so as early as the beginning of the solar calendar, we will make December 25th each year as the birthday of the **** Mitra, and hang sparkles on the fir tree. To celebrate this holiday in the form of ornaments and gifts for relatives and friends. "

"After learning about the customs and habits of the wizards, the Muggles in the non-magic world also imitated the celebration of the festival, hoping to spy on the power of magic and pray for the blessing of the next year. Later in the non-magical world The derivation of religious festivals in China, as well as the change of Mithra in Muggle mythology, are mostly derived from this. "

"It turned out to be because of the birth of the **** of contract?"

Elena nodded thoughtfully.

Although what she said in the book by Percy Weasley was the first time she heard it, but from the many signs in the non-magic world, from this aspect, most of the records can indeed be found. And mythological materials.

"Yes! Another addition, the book says that the exact name of this festival is actually Yule or Yuletide, with the word form gēol, which comes from Old Scandinavian (OldNorse) jōl, and the original meaning is [Mid-winter season] . "

Percy looked around the younger brothers and sisters sitting around and explained with a smile.

"It is said that in ancient times, whether it was a wizard or a Muggle, they would pay special attention to the contracts made during this period, and regard them as an important agreement directly witnessed by the **** of the contract-if all the promises made at this time There is magic power. "

"Eh?!"

"really?!"

"God, I have to change my wishes quickly."

Hearing Percy's words, there was a commotion among the little guys beside him.

Even Elena, who had always believed in science, couldn't help but put a little caution on her face-anyway, the metaphysical thing doesn't cost money. Before science reaches its end, you still have to believe a little.

"Okay, the story is finished ..."

Percy Weasley closed the book, showing a hearty smile.

"All in all, this is quite an old legend, which is just a good sign."

"However, Percy, why did you suddenly think of studying this content?"

George Weasley raised his eyebrows and looked at Percy with some curiosity. "I remember when you started your semester, didn't you still say you should prepare for the general wizard qualification exam and run for the male student chair?"

"Because this is the academic paper direction I chose."

Percy sighed helplessly, patting the big book in his hand with a complex expression, a little embarrassed.

"During this time, there have been rumors that the selection criteria for the grade head and male and female student chairmen will be clearer and more clear from the next school year. In addition to the assessments of professors and principals of various colleges, reference should also be made to the publication in the core journals of the magic world The situation of academic papers-the submission rate of those popular subjects is really difficult, so ... "

"Wow, I just said ... why our class leader suddenly started to study these contents."

Fred Weasley cried strangely, with a look of excitement on his face, "So to speak, is there a male student chairman covering us in Gryffindor starting next semester?"

"Then don't you hurry to please the future chairman? Come, Chairman Percy, just chocolate."

George Weasley stabbed Fred with his elbow, quickly pulled a Ferrero hazel ball into Percy's hands, and said loudly and exaggeratedly, as if he were a respected house elf.

"That's right, Chairman Percy, eat grilled sausages!"

"Dear Master Percy, do you want to eat an orange?"

"Percy ..."

"You're enough, don't ... in my mouth ... I can't hold it ... full ..."

In this way, the Gryffindor Lounge soon became lively again. As the sense of rustiness gradually dissipated, Elena finally put aside the previous troubles and happily enjoyed the beautiful holiday life.

Except before going to bed every night, she would handle and tell a little bit about the Soviet Union.

For the rest of the time, she played with everyone like an ordinary little witch.

After waking up on time every morning, Elena rushed directly into the boys ’dormitory and called the boys who were bedridden, and then a group of people from the Gryffindor Tower went to the auditorium for breakfast. Then go to the courtyard to play a snowball fight for a while, or go to the lounge to play poker, play chess, read a book and chat ...

As time passed, the Christmas holiday was finally coming to an end.

Or more accurately, the birthday celebration of Mitra, the **** of contract in the magic world, is nearing the end.

...

Somewhere in Scotland.

This is a three-storey single-family villa that is extremely well-decorated, with a Muggle expulsion curse around the house to avoid British government officials who will come to collect taxes, collect statistics, or send warmth to the community.

Several middle-aged men in elegant black trench coats gathered in the shadows not far from the house and whispered.

"Then it is here, make sure he is at home, right?"

"Yes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Although his vigilance is very high, we have locked this area by sending owls according to the magazine's manuscript and disguised as his fan mail."

"Well, be careful, since the last missed invitation at the bookstore, we have been ridiculed by the group of guys for almost a week."

"Relax, this time, the flyway network has been blocked in advance, and the phantom is distorted ... Someone is staring in the air-even if it is a flaming dragon in its prime, it will not run away."

"Very good, let's get started. In short, first of all, follow the first plan."

The headed man nodded, sorted out the trench coat collar, pulled out his wand, and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Hello, respected Mr. Gidero Lockhart, I am a reporter from" New Singing Contrary ", and I have a well-paid exclusive contract that I would like to discuss with you."
